How can you change the society if you can’t change yourself?

We always want to bring some kind of change in society; my question to you is who is going to change you? Who will take that responsibility? You never look at yourself clearly and find out how you are living in this society, are you peaceful in your relationships? Are you a light to yourself? What is your understanding about day to day life?

If you don't find answers for all these questions and simply you say I will join some organization or I will follow somebody which is meaningless, then you haven't understood what is society? Or I can say your action then is not out of understanding, it is still part of self centered activity.

The present society needs action not lots of words, ideas, gurus, philosophies, religious dogmas....etc. The way you observe things, listen, relate to others is part of that action. The basic step to change the society is you must understand your thought because same thought is operating all over the world. Your thought is not different from mine, you may think it is but it is not, this feeling is again the illusion created by thought. You may think about something I might about something but we are using the same instrument which is called "THOUGHT".

If a person comes to you and says please understand yourself and if you are uneducated you will say go get me some beer, if you are educated you will destroy that person by making him a guru or worshiping him, in turn he will destroys you by putting you in some kind belief, illusion.

After reading the above content if one says everything is good but you haven't given solution for how to change the society, the answer will be, seeing something false as false is itself action, and only this action can save the present society. Seeing something false as false requires a observation which is sane, rational and holistic.
