"It is strange how we worship knowledge. Knowledge implies the past. Knowing is always in the present and knowledge is always in the past. Experiencing is in the present and experience is always in the past. To us, the past has extraordinary significance, the past which is knowledge. Knowledge is necessary at the technical, mechanical level. The more you have knowledge, the better to go to the moon, to build a house, to beautify a garden or enrich the earth, but knowledge becomes an impediment to deep discovery because most of our lives are lived in the past. All that we know is the past" (Krishnamurti, 1961).
