你看，人要么困缚于社会模式之内，产生逆反；要么打破社会模式，取得彻底革命。跳出社会模式之外的彻底革命，就是我所说的心灵革命。任何革命，只要不是心灵革命，必局限于社会框架之内，所以不是真正的革命，只不过是旧模式的翻版与延续而已。

我相信，全世界上天天发生的，就是社会模式内的逆反，这种逆反通常的呈现方式，就是所谓犯罪。只要我们的教育只关心训练年青人适应社会，亦即谋职、赚钱、贪得无厌、循规蹈矩……那么这种逆反就注定发生。

在世界各地，我们所谓的教育天天在做这些——教导年青人在信仰、道德、经济上循规蹈矩，他们的逆反当然就毫无意义，唯有被压抑、被改造、被控制。因为这样的逆反还局限于社会的框架内，所以根本不具有创造力。但通过正确的教育，帮助他们从一切束缚中解脱心灵，亦即鼓励年轻人去觉知那些束缚心灵、令人墨守成规的社会影响力，或许可以产生全然不同的觉悟。

——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

Why Is There Crime?

You see, there is either a revolt within the pattern of society, or a complete revolution outside of society. The complete revolution outside of society is what I call religious revolution. Any revolution that is not religious is within society and is therefore no revolution at all, but only a modified continuation of the old pattern.

What is happening throughout the world, I believe, is revolt within society, and this revolt often takes the form of what is called crime. There is bound to be this kind of revolt so long as our education is concerned only with training youth to fit into society—that is, to get a job, to earn money, to be acquisitive, to have more, to conform.

That is what our so-called education everywhere is doing—teaching the young to conform, religiously, morally, economically; so naturally their revolt has no meaning, except that it must be suppressed, reformed, or controlled. Such revolt is still within the framework of society, and therefore it is not creative at all. But through right education we could perhaps bring about a different understanding by helping to free the mind from all conditioning—that is, by encouraging the young to be aware of the many influences which condition the mind and make it conform.
