If you cannot build your cities and your social systems on spiritual foundations, then it is better to stay in the jungle. If your family, your workplace, your institutions do not run on spiritual grounds, then they better not run at all.
When did we go wrong? The day when somebody decided that spiritual education needs to have only a marginal presence in the education system of the society.
