No Way Out: Conversations with U.G. Krishnamurti

Political institutions and ideologies are the warty outgrowth of the religious thinking of the man; in a way responsible for the tragedy of mankind. We are slaves to our ideas and beliefs, and we torture ourselves in the hope of achieving something. All our experience, spiritual or otherwise, is the basic cause of our suffering...the body is not interested in anything 'you' are interested in; that is, the battle that is going on all the time. There seems to be no way out, says UG.
