ASKING BEAUTIFUL QUESTION: How are you going to awaken as individuals to this profound revolution?
If you can understand for yourself the hindrances that are preventing your deep and true fulfillment, then you will not become a mere follower and be exploited.
Please understand that I am talking to you as an individual, not to a collective group or to a particular party. If you do not awaken to your full responsibility, to your fulfillment, then your function as a human being in society must be frustrated, limited, and in that lies sorrow.
So the question is: How can there be this profound individual revolution?
If there is such a truth, voluntary revolution on the part of the individual, which aims to create the right environment for all, without the distinction of class, gender or race.
To have this profound revolution, one must become fully conscious of the structure which one has created about yourself and in which you are now caught. That is, we have now certain values, ideals, beliefs, which act as a net to hold the mind, and by questioning and understanding all their significance, we shall realize how they have come into existence.
Before you can act fully and truly, you must know the prison in which you are living, how it has been created; and in examining it without any self-defense you will find out for yourself its true significance, which no other can convey to you.
So what are you doing? What is happening to each one of you? What are you trying to do in your lives? You are seeking; and what are you seeking?
