Language is just
like a political map. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh are divided on the political
map, and if you ask the earth where India begins and Pakistan ends, the earth
will laugh and think you mad. The earth is round, it is one; only on political
maps is it not and maps are false. And politicians are madmen, madmen who have
attained power. They are more dangerous than madmen who live in madhouses,
because they have power.
Either we will succeed in transforming the consciousness of the whole of
humanity and bring it to a higher level -- at least to the second level, a
meditative mind, for millions of people, and for thousands of people to the
first grade, the no-mind.... If we can do it, that is the only possible way to
save humanity. Otherwise, in the hands of foolish politicians so much power has
come that ANY moment the third world war can start, and that will destroy the
whole of humanity. And all the work of the ages, of all the Buddhas, will be
simply destroyed. Krishna, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Pythagoras, Socrates: these
people have worked hard to create this garden. And now we are getting ready to
burn it totally. Before it is too late...wake up! At least move to the second
state of mind -- meditative mind -- then the first will become easy.
