You must question the structure of society. Posted: It seems to me that the first thing to enquire into is `society' - what is the structure, and what is the nature of society - because we are social beings.  You cannot live by yourself; even if you withdraw into the Himalayas, or become a hermit or a sannyasi, you cannot live by yourself; you are in relationship with another, and relationship with another creates the structure which we call 'society'.  That structure controls relationship - that is, you and I have relationship, we are in communion with each other; in that communion, in that relationship, we create, we build a structure called society.  That society controls our minds, shapes our hearts, shapes our actions - whether you live in a Communist society, or a Hindu society, or a Christian world.  Society with its structure shapes the mind of every human being, consciously or unconsciously. The culture in which we live, the traditions, the religions, the politics, the education - all that, the past as well as the present, shapes our thought.  And to bring about a complete revolution - there must be a revolution, a crisis in consciousness - you must question the structure of society. - J. Krishnamurti Bombay 1st Public Talk 21st February 1962
