Most of
us seem to think that by teaching every human being to read and write, we
shall solve our human problems; but this idea has proved to be false. The
so-called educated people are not peace-loving, integrated people, and they
too are responsible for the confusion and misery of the world.

"With the
world falling into ruin about us, we discuss theories and vain political
questions, and play with superficial reforms. Does this not indicate utter
thoughtlessness on our part? Some may agree that it does, but they will go on
doing exactly as they have always done - and that is the sadness of existence.
When we hear a truth and do not act upon it, it becomes a poison within
ourselves, and that poison spreads, bringing psychological disturbances,
unbalance and ill health. Only when creative intelligence is awakened in the
individual is there a possibility of a peaceful and happy life"

This is another article by
Prof. P. Krishna, ex-Rector of Rajghat Education Centre, Varanasi India.

"Science deals with the measurable and thought can measure, record and
communicate its findings; but religion deals with the immeasurable and thought
cannot capture the immeasurable; it can only be sensed when thought is
silent".

A Free CD
For a free copy of a CD containing a dialogue
between Krishnamurti and Professor Allan Anderson, entitled "What is the
point of education?" (San Diego 1972, 59 minutes).
Here is a brief excerpt:
What is the
function, the quality of the educator? He must establish a relationship with the
student which is not authoritarian; a relationship of mutual inquiry, study . .
. . . . .
The love of
what I'm doing explodes everything else; that very love is the highest form of
excellence. The more I learn the more I love. Relationship in which all sense of
making me conform to your ideal disappears, therefore it is a relationship of
real affection and that is enough.

I think
it is clear that the pattern which we now cultivate and call education,
which is conformity to society, is very, very destructive
