This document discusses harmony in society and identifies four essential elements required: right understanding and right feelings in every individual, prosperity in every family, fearlessness (trust) in society, and co-existence in nature. It contrasts this with a state of gross misunderstanding where the goals of money, accumulation, domination, and mastery over nature lead to problems like resource depletion, pollution, terrorism, and war. It suggests education should focus on cultivating right understanding in individuals as the foundation for achieving the other goals and harmony in society.
