The mere anguish to change the society only creates further confusion and misery. The one who wants to change the society must have very clear understanding about what is wrong with present society or with our day to day life. Only through negation one can come to positivity, to negate you must know what is wrong with present society. The best thing is to look at yourself as an outsider and see what is wrong with you, without any desire for change. Because desire to change prevents learning about yourself, if there is no desire to become somebody and you are watching yourself there is self learning, only this self learning brings revolution within. Start with simple things like in a day you are afraid of one thing or the other, question yourself is that fear in mind necessary? Why I am afraid? What I am afraid of?
Whenever your mind is forcing you to take some action to change society, ask yourself do you have clear and simple perception about the problem. The perception is correct when it reduces the complexity of the problem not when it increases it. Most of us don't have the patience to look at the problem without any desire for solution. The mind which is interested only in the end result may find a solution, but that solution is time binding and also it gives more energy to the problem and increases the complexity of the problem. A clear and simple perception is only possible when the mind is not divisive in itself; most of our minds are divided by nation, religion, caste, ideology, color, language...etc. Peace and happiness are global things but man out of his greed and ignorance reduced them as personal, and it is the root cause of all human sorrow.
