So what will make you change? Please ask yourself, burn with that question, because we have fallen into habit. Your house is burning, and apparently you do not pay attention. So, if you don't change, society remains as it is. And clever people are coming along saying that society must change, we need a new structure and the structure then becomes more important than man, as all revolutions have shown.
After considering all this, is there a learning, is there an awakening of intelligence, is there a sense of order in our lives? Or are we going back to the same routine? If you have that intelligence, that goodness, that sense of great love, then you will create a marvellous new society where we can all live happily. It's our earth not Indian earth, or English earth, Russian earth; it's our earth where we can live happily, intelligently, not at each others' throats. So, please give your heart and mind to find out why you don't change - even in little things. Please pay attention to your own life. You have extraordinary capacities. It is all waiting for you to open the door.

We all once were the wild and beautiful, but human's conditioned thoughts and civilizations have made us strained. This blog is about how to return to be...wild and beautiful. Note (14 Apr 2015): Sorry about the past blogs which were not perfect. My skills have improved, so look out for the upcoming.

What is Extraordinary Life & What is Education?
Krishnamurti said that:
We must understand all that is life;
The conflicts: The constant battle between groups, races and nations, the subtle, hidden things of the mind-the envies, the ambitions, the passions, the fears, fulfillments and anxieties.
The extraordinary: All life is extraordinary, the earth and all the animals and plants on it and everything else, all are extraordinary.
If people do not understand that whole process of life, then they will miss that whole point of life. They will not understand how extraordinary life is and will not live it to their upmost potential, and instead will decay, deteriorate, and whither away.
If people understand the battles in themselves and be free of them, their world will transform; they will no longer suffer in conflicts within, and they will have right relationship and passion for all lives; between two people, all humans, all animals and the earth.
If education does not help people to understand life then it is meaningless, because in order to live a good life it is necessary to know what life is all about, and it is necessary to have intelligence; the capacity to think freely without fear, without having to conform, in order to discover what is true.
