Spiritual Search and the Future of Humanity | A Talk by Ravi Ravindra

"I would like to ask a question which may lead us to something: what will make humanity change, deeply, fundamentally, radically? Humanity has had crisis after crisis, it has had a great many shocks; it has been through every kind of misfortune, every kind of war, personal sorrow, and so on. A little affection, a little joy, but all this doesn’t seem to change anything.
What will make a human being leave the way they are going, and move in a totally different direction? I think that is one of our great problems, don’t you? Why? If one is concerned, as one must be, with humanity, with all the things that are going on, what would be the right action to move humanity out of one direction to another? Is this question valid? Has it any significance?"
J. Krishnamurti
Excerpt from The Ending of Time

Dear Friends,
Nestled within the historic Pine Cottage in Ojai, the Krishnamurti Center offers a space for contemplation and study. From its serene meditation spaces to public group dialogues, visitors are invited to explore Krishnamurti's teachings within the extensive library. As guests from around the world converge, the Center becomes a hub for shared inquiry into the fundamental questions of human life.
This Saturday, March 16th, we invite you to inquire about the future of humanity at the Center and online. Join us for an evening talk, Spiritual Search and the Future of Humanity, given by Ravi Ravindra on March 16, 2023, at Pine Cottage located at the Krishnamurti Center.
This in-person event will also be livestreamed.
The future of humanity depends on the quality of being of the human beings. According to all the spiritual teachings, there are two currents of energy in each human being, one coming from the spiritual side and the other from the material side. The former is referred to as the "soul" or "spirit" and the latter as the "body" including the usual mind. The purpose of the body is to assist the evolution of the soul, ultimately back to the Source, labeled God or Brahman or the Absolute. However, in general, the material side completely takes over and is wholly driven by fear or self-centered desires. The call to all the searchers is to enhance the quality of our being—leading to more compassion and love, more sense of unity and service, more and more freedom from me-my-mine.
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
The KFA Team
