'BACK TO SCHOOL'
Osho has said that, in the evolution of human culture,
what did not take place in the first 1800 years has probably taken place in the next 150.
What probably did not take place in the last 150 years has taken place in the next 15 years.
Globalization. Its mesmerizing pace.
The exponential rate of change in the human condition.
The plethora of Indian and foreign media invading our conscience.
The million disparate world views they bring right into our drawing rooms.
The internet. Spreading its unbelievable web of information around us.
A wealth-driven, consumerist society. The material comforts and gadgets so easily available at our fingertips.
And amidst all this - a society unconscious of being swept away in this tsunami of change.

Part of this very society are parents - who are groping to come to terms with the present.
And confused as to how they should mould their children for this future shock.
It is time the parents went back to school. It is time to unlearn. And relearn quite a few things.
But how and where is this school?
