You know of the biodiversity loss, you know of how close mankind is to a nuclear war that can be precipitated anytime. So anything can happen anytime. It’s obviously a very, very bad situation, and anybody can see that.
We have to realize that the root of all these external problems is man’s mind.
So, first of all, we have to get rid of the notion that by having the right kind of legislation or structures or systems, or international treaties or agreements, or social processes, we can just sail out of these troubled waters. That is not going to happen. You have to address the problem where it really is, and the problem really is here, in man’s mind.
Man needs spiritual education. Man’s animal ego needs to be educated; rather, it needs to be edified. Otherwise there is no hope at all.
