Man has to become a child but not by becoming childish. Man has to become a child by becoming a saint.
So this is one -- people choose the animal -- but that is not my choice; that has not helped anybody. The other choice, and that too is simple and comfortable, is that people become bourgeois, mm? the middle-class bourgeois mind.
They look for comfort -- a small house of their own, a car of their own, a family, children, a little prestige, holidays, radio, TV -- and they are finished. They live a life of comfort, security.

What is the message? Go into it and don't be judgemental. just go into it: what is the message? What does it want to convey?
