u r the world!!

TO MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL aware so that he stops throwing responsibilities on

others -- on the contrary, he starts looking inwards to see in what way he is

contributing to this whole madness -- there is a possibility he may stop

contributing. Because he has to suffer too. If he comes to know that the whole

world is nothing but his projection on a wider scale....

 

Because millions of individuals have contributed the same anger, the same

hatred, the same competitiveness, the same violence, it has become mountainous.

You cannot conceive that you can be responsible for it: "I may have contributed

just a small piece..." But an ocean is nothing except millions and millions of

dewdrops. A dewdrop cannot think that it is responsible for the ocean -- but the

dewdrop is responsible. Without the dewdrop there is going to be no ocean at

all. The ocean is only a name; the reality is in the dewdrop.

 

To accept your responsibility will change you, and your change is the beginning

of the change of the world -- because you are the world. However small, a

miniature world, but you carry all the seeds.

 

If revolution comes to you, it heralds the revolution for the whole world.

 

And when J. Krishnamurti says "You are the world" he is not saying it only to

you; he is saying it to everybody:

 

You are the world.

 

If you want to change the world, don't start by changing the world -- that is

the wrong way humanity has followed up to now:

Change the society, change the economic structure.

Change this, change that.

But don't change the individual.

That's why all revolutions have failed. Only one revolution can succeed, which

has not been tried up to now -- and that is the revolution of the individual.

You change yourself.

Be alert not to contribute anything that makes the world a hell. And remember to

contribute to the world something that makes it a paradise.

This is the whole secret of a religious man.

And if every individual starts doing it, there will be a revolution without any

bloodshed.
