Tackle inner aggression



There are great problems. Life is so much of a hell. Misery, poverty and violence are there, all kinds of madness are afloat, that’s true. But still I insist the problem arises in the individual soul. The problem is there because individuals are in a chaos. The total chaos is nothing but a combined phenomenon. We have all poured our chaos into it.

The world is nothing but a relationship, we are related with each other. I am neurotic, you are neurotic, then the relationship goes very neurotic – multiplied, not only doubled. And everybody is neurotic, hence, the world is neurotic. Adolph Hitler is not born out of the blue, we create him…. It is our chaos that takes a toll. The beginning has to be with you….

Poverty is not the root; greed is the root. Poverty is the outcome. You go on fighting poverty, nothing will happen. Greed has to be uprooted. War is not the problem; individual aggressiveness is the problem – war is just the total. You go on doing protest marches and war is not going to be stopped. That doesn’t matter…. The problem is inner aggression. People are not at ease within themselves; hence, war has to exist. Otherwise, these people will go mad.
