“Religion has completely lost its meaning. Education is training technicians, not human beings. Modern existence is so utterly superficial. We know all this – what is one to do? How is one to find a way out of this wilderness, this chaos? It all depends on how you ask this question. You can ask either as a reaction and therefore find an answer which will still be a reaction and not an action in itself, or you can ask the question which has no answer. It has no answer. Because it has no answer you are thrown back upon yourself. Therefore you have to inquire within yourself and not ask the question outside of you” (Krishnamurti, from a public talk in 1962).
