THE OCEAN COVERED WITH WHITECAPS
You may find that surface emotions have been whipped up and this has led to a concern that is disproportionate to the depth of the situation. Things have a deeper sense of strength and permanence than they seem. Get below the surface where things are calmer and more stable. Mobilization of energy and emotions. Safety in the deeper, more secure emotions.
The Caution: Getting fussed and irritable over nothing or at least very little. Nervousness.
What Are You Doing With Your Life?
by J. Krishnamurti
"The older people say that you, the coming generation, must create a different world, but they don't mean it at all. On the contrary, with great thought and care they set about 'educating' you to conform to the old pattern, with some modification. Though they may talk very differently, teachers and parents, supported by the government and society in general, see to it that you are trained to conform to tradition, to accept ambition and envy as the natural way of life. They are not at all concerned with a new way of life, and that is why the educator himself is not being rightly educated. The older generation has brought about this world of war, this world of antagonism and division between man and man; and the newer generation is following sedulously in its footsteps.
"But we want to be rightly educated, sir. What shall we do?"
First of all, see very clearly one simple fact: that neither the government, nor your present teachers, nor your parents, care to educate you rightly; if they did, the world would be entirely different, and there would be no wars. So if you want to be rightly educated, you have to set about it yourself; and when you are grown up, you will then see to it that your own children are rightly educated.
"But how can we rightly educate ourselves? We need someone to teach us."
You have teachers to instruct you in mathematics, in literature, and so on; but education is something deeper and wider than the mere gathering of information. Education is the cultivation of the mind so that action is not self-centered; it is learning throughout life to break down the walls which the mind builds in order to be secure, and from which arises fear with all its complexities.
To be rightly educated, you have to study hard and not be lazy. Be good at games, not to beat another, but to amuse yourself. Eat the right food, and keep physically fit. Let the mind be alert and capable of dealing with the problems of life, not as a Hindu, a Communist, or a Christian, but as a human being.
To be rightly educated, you have to understand yourself; you have to keep on learning about yourself. When you stop learning, life becomes ugly and sorrowful. Without goodness and love, you are not rightly educated."
That is the type of stuff we discuss here....
