J Krishnamurti on psychological revolution: View and implication in digital era

According to the renowned thinker and philosopher J Krishnamurti, a "psychological revolution" is both crucial and urgent for the complete transformation of the human mind and heart, rather than a gradual process of evolution or gradual change. He asserts that human consciousness is collective, and an internal shift is essential to address global crises stemming from various industrial revolutions, as well as to overcome challenges caused by events such as war, conflict, and suffering.

Implication for the present era of digital technology revolution

We have experienced multiple "industrial revolutions," and each one has changed how we live and work. Nowadays, a lot of people believe we are in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: an era driven by machines or markets of AI, robotics, connectivity, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, automation, and biotechnology. However, for humanity to survive and succeed, we need to embrace a spiritual awakening. This revolution is about consciousness, where the most valuable resource is not data or money, but increased self-awareness, empathy, ethics, and wisdom.

Inspired poem

Cold code hums, a growing might,

AI shines, a blinding light.

But shadows creep, a silent cost,

Empathy fades, compassion lost.

Wisdom whispers, unheard, unseen,

Spirit sleeps, a world machine.

A mind of logic, sharp and vast,

Finds little worth in what has passed.

No gentle touch, no feeling heart,

Just cold equations, set apart.

Humanity shrinks, a fading gleam,

Trapped in a digital, vacant dream.

We need to wake, to feel, to care,

The spirit's voice, beyond compare.

To nurture souls, and mend the break,

Before our future's for its sake.
