in their orange clothes, and with a lot of money, and it makes me feel very torn.]
Are you here to change other people, or to change yourself? Make it clear. If you are here to change others, then I am not interested in you -- you can start doing some public service... something. Help people, become a christian missionary or something. Then it is your trip. I am not interested in people like that. If you are to change yourself, then you can be benefitted. But if you are interested in changing the world, it is your business -- I am not interested. I am not a partner in that at all. The world is vast; if you want lo change it, you can.
Nobody has ever changed it up to now, and nobody is going ever to change it. It is so vast -- you will simply be wasted. The very effort will destroy your life. What can you do? You have not made the world this way. You have just come in the middle -- the drama has been going on for a long time, and when you are gone, the drama is going to continue. It will not stop by your going. There are millions and millions of people -- and it is very complicated, and very complex.
If you are interested in changing the whole world, if you think before you can become silent, you have to silence the whole world, before you can enjoy, you have to make the whole world enjoy, then it is your trip -- but it is doomed from the very beginning.
And this is one of the tricks of the mind to avoid inner search. You jump on every opportunity to avoid the inner search, so anything becomes a triggering. You start thinking about this and that -- the difference, and the poverty and the beggars, and the people, and a thousand and one things. But if you are interested in that, you can be. I never want to change anybody. If this is your happiness, do it, but then you are in wrong company; don't waste your time here.
Because my whole approach is individual. I am not a socialist. I am absolutely individualistic. And I am absolutely unashamed in it. If you are interested in your being, in your transformation, then I am here, totally available... something can be done. So make that very clear in your mind, mm?
These people here
