Thought For Today 6 Sept 2022, J Krishnamurti

In the old days of India, the educator was a dedicated person. He wasn’t concerned with the world at all; he was outside society. What he was concerned with was not only knowledge but the way you live right through life, not just for a period of two or three years but right through life – how you lived, how you behaved, what you thought, how you worshipped, how you treated people, so that you were a human being with an extraordinary feeling of life, affection, love, thought, and the feeling of religion. Not the phoney religion of going to a church or worshipping somebody, but the religious feeling. I feel a school must produce that, and it is the responsibility of the teachers. It is not only their responsibility but also the responsibility of the parents. But most parents don’t care about all this. They want their children to have a good job, make a success of life, be completely secure, have a family, a good house and so on.
