“Wisdom is not in a book, it has no secret source. You will find the real very near; it is in yourself. But to discover it there must be the activity of constant alertness. When thought is passively aware, watching and following, then the map of self-knowledge unfolds itself. Self-knowledge is not by the study of the self in isolation, for there is no isolation. To live is to be related, and isolation is merely escape. If thought is alertly passive, watching its own movements and flutters, then when sleep comes the conscious mind is capable of receiving the hints and intimations of the hidden consciousness. He who desires to discover the real, the eternal, must put aside every book, every system, every guru, for that which is can be uncovered only through self-knowledge.From: Fifth Talk in Madras”

“Years ago we used to have leaders with brains; compassion for people; the guts to stand up for what’s right and just not only for them, but for the whole world.These days all we get are leaders trying to stand up with their egos in their mouths and stubbornness in their actions and words; out to get what they can reap. They don’t care about the normal people! They only care about themselves & their close circle of friends!I’ve only met one or two honest politicians in my fifty odd years, and I’ve read about some, but as for the rest of them……..Well, maybe it’s time that normal people took over.The mums and dads!Young minds with a modicum of compassion for their fellow man!People who will look past religion, race, wealth & greed, caste!People who honestly care about whether their children live or die!People who believe that mankind and the Earth, as a whole, is worth saving!People who will look towards the Earth as our home and not our waste dump.People who stand for friendship and not hatred!People without bigoted views, who are willing to change their mind if they are wrong!If you want to know who these people are, just have a look in the mirror. Ask your kids who theirhero is. Ask them if they want a world without animals. Without food to eat. Without clean water to drink.Without their parents to look after them. Without love to keep them safe.It’s time for a change. I can’t change your views, only you can do that.If you don’t want to do it for yourself, at least do it for your kids.Have a heart! Give your children life!”
