It’s Time For Change
We need a totally different world, a different upbringing, where hate is not taught. This is a very strange world that we have created! Up to now what we have done to humanity is really unbelievable: on one hand we teach them hate, and on the other hand we go on talking about peace. On the one hand we poison them, and on the other hand we tell them, “You are all brothers.”
We talk about brotherhood and we prepare for war; we talk about world peace and we prepare for war. This is sheer neurosis; this is not sanity! Man hitherto has remained insane and the reason is a wrong upbringing.
We have not listened to the buddhas yet. Now it is time!
