“Humanity is currently passing through one of the most significant times, because we are passing through tremendous transformation. The old is dying and the new has to be given birth. The old will try in every way to go on living. The old always insists on keeping itself alive - even if it cripples people. The old will try to manipulate and exploit people. We need a totally different kind of man, who does not believe in war, fighting, anger, hate and destructivity. We need a totally different man, who believes, in love, compassion and creativity. We need people who are not engaged in manufacturing new and more destructive weapons to kill people more effectively, but who are absorbed in being intelligent and creative. The past belonged to the soldier and the future belongs to the conscious meditator. The soldier was respected in the past, because war is the business that humanity has been engaged in for three thousand years in modern times. Every reason was an excuse for a new war. To go beyond the old ideas of war, fight, conflict and destructivity is the only way that your life can be a joy. There is nothing heroic about being a warrior. Destruction can never be heroic. only creativity is beautiful. Just to write a beautiful poem is far better than to produce the atom bomb. We have to change our values, only then the conscious human being is born. That is the beginning of many things that has to be done, which we have been ignoring and denying up to now. This change may not be possible for the whole of humanity right now, but it is possible for individuals to slip out of the ugly and destructive past of humanity. A little courage is needed, a little trust is needed and a little love is needed, which is there in everybody.”
