When One Loses The Deep Intimate Relationship

The Only Thing That Really Matters Is That There Be An Action Of Goodness, Love And Intelligence In Living. Is Goodness Individual Or Collective, Is Love Personal Or Impersonal, Is Intelligence Yours, Mine Or Somebody Else? If It Is Yours Or Mine Then It Is Not Intelligence, Or Love, Or Goodness. If Goodness Is An Affair Of The Individual Or Of The Collective, According To One's Particular Preference Or Decision, Then It Is No Longer Goodness.

When You Call Yourself An Indian Or A Muslim Or A Christian Or A European, Or Anything Else, You Are Being Violent. Do You See Why It Is Violent? Because You Are Separating Yourself From The Rest Of Mankind. When You Separate Yourself By Belief, By Nationality, By Tradition, It Breeds Violence. So A Man Who Is Seeking To Understand Violence Does Not Belong To Any Country, To Any Religion, To Any Political Party Or Partial System; He Is Concerned With The Total Understanding Of Mankind.
