Right Living in Modern Society

This book is a verbatim record of Lectures delivered in India as well as the Netherlands about major issues facing Modern Society. They reveal that the issues are deeply connected with the state of our individual consciousness and cannot be cured by merely restructuring society, its laws and economy. What is in our consciousness, projects itself in our relationships and millions of such relationships constitute society. Therefore the real crisis lies in our consciousness and education must take up the challenge of transforming human consciousness by creating a new mind which can discern what is true from what is false. Such learning is different from book-learning and leads to self-knowledge which is the key to wisdom. J.Krishnamurti pointed out the way this can be done and the schools started by him are trying to carry out that vision. We discuss the difficulties faced in doing so.
