The Impossible Question

We never put the impossible question – we are always putting the question of what is possible. If you put an impossible question, your mind then has to find the answer in terms of the impossible, not what is possible.

By means of a series of exchanges Krishnamurti helps his audience to explore matters such as the origin and roots of thought, the limits of consciousness, the nature of pleasure and joy, personal relationships and meditation, all of which revolve around the central issues of the search for self-knowledge. The Impossible Question reveals the unique approach of a profound thinker and teacher and will prove invaluable to those who wish to gain insights into themselves.
