When you hear Krishnamurti or Osho, or some other wise person, say that YOU are the world, that YOU are society, this is indeed not some spiritual and philosophical sentence for you to worship and repeat like a parrot without deeply knowing what it means.
It literally means YOU are the world. If you are anxious, frustrated, suffering about the life of others, it is because you have no peace in your mind. A truly awakened person sees the suffering in the world, feels for it, tries to help in some way; but then he moves on.
Moving on means to keep your attention inwardly, focusing on building your own peace of mind; because life is about happiness and, even though you must help others, you have to constantly work on YOUR own happiness. First your health. First your peace of mind. First your psychological, emotional, and physical well-being. Later, the rest. First, YOU, then others.
The world is unconscious, it can be terrible, immoral, the cause of depression; however, to experience the opposite of this, happiness in you, you must learn to look at the terrible world, live in it, but keep your focus on you, on your wholeness. This is what the path to Enlightenment, or to happiness, is all about.
Once you truly understand that the path lies inwards and that suffering the world is egoistical, then you will illumine yourself and begin your transformation into a better human being; but until then you are just pursuing your own sense of self-importance, playing the victim, and reflecting your lack of maturity into the world.
