Each thing that the male ego chooses has to be somehow a phallic
symbol. The male ego chooses a car with great speed -- a phallic symbol,
forceful. You will always find impotent people sitting in great phallic cars --
impotent people. The more impotent they become, the more powerful a car they
choose. They have to compensate.

I can see a day
somewhere in the future that people will be there but there will be nobody who
is hungry for power. To be hungry for power simply shows that the man needs
psychiatric treatment. All the politicians of the world, all the presidents,
all the prime ministers, kings and queens, need psychiatric treatment so that
they can again become human beings.

Your presidents, your
prime ministers, your ambassadors, your kings, your queens, are all in the same
boat: just trying to prove they are not inferior, they are great leaders of
men. And I have seen many of these great leaders of men -- just phony. If you
look inside, you will find nothing but bullshit.

The kings, the
presidents, and the prime ministers are nothing but people suffering from
inferiority complexes. Hence creating much noise around themselves to show
others that "We are not nothing. We are somebodies!" A man who tries
to prove that he is somebody is simply showing that deep down he is afraid of
his nobodiness. If he becomes the president of a country, of course he can
prove -- at least to the fools he can prove that he is somebody. And looking in
the eyes of those fools, he himself can believe, "When so many people
believe that I am somebody, I must be somebody. How can so many people be
wrong?" He deceives others and is deceived in return. It is a
self-deception.
