J Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti and Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) were two of the most influential and, at times, controversial spiritual teachers of the 20th century. While both emphasized individual liberation and a departure from dogma, their approaches and the nature of their teachings differed significantly. Here's a comparison of their key ideas:

J Krishnamurti spoke on many topics related to spirituality. Of all topics, he stressed heavily on 'Total Attention' and how it is a beautiful form of Meditation.

Jiddu Krishnamurti’s teachings on choiceless awareness emphasize observing life without any form of selection, preference, or judgment.  Below are select quotes where Krishnamurti explains how to practice choiceless awareness. Choiceless awareness of the manner of your approach will bring right relationship with the problem. The problem is self-created, so there must be self-knowledge.

If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower. If you cultivate humility, it ceases to be. Meditation is like the breeze that comes in when you leave the window open; but if you deliberately keep it open, deliberately invite it to come, it will never appear.

He always spoke about the importance of understanding yourself. As a mirror reflects your image, you should also realize who are you. To be in that state of mind, you should be a reasonable observer. Only if you can analyze well, then you can understand yourself. To become a good analyst, you should be a reasonable observer.

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear. — Krishnamurti

Forget all you know about yourself; forget all you have ever thought about yourself; start as if you know nothing. — Krishnamurti

A mind that is full of conclusions is a dead mind, it is not a living mind. A living mind is a free mind, learning, never concluding. - Krishnamurti

If you as a human being transform yourself, you affect the consciousness of the rest of the world. -Krishnamurti

I have to study myself in actuality – as I am, not as I wish to be. —Krishnamurti

Can the mind be aware of emptiness without naming it, running away from it or judging it, but just be with it? — Krishnamurti

You are the world and the world is you. — Krishnamurti

Emptiness comes as a sunset comes of an evening, full of beauty, enchantment, and richness; it comes as naturally as the blossoming of a flower. — Krishnamurti

It is a waste of energy when we try to conform to a pattern. To conserve energy we must be aware of how we dissipate energy. — Krishnamurti

You must understand the whole of life, not just one part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, why you must sing, dance and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life. — Krishnamurti
