at the whole history. It is monstrous, murderous! It is full of blood. In the history of three thousand years there have been five thousand wars. What kind of civilization, what kind of culture has there been? As if we are here only to kill each other!
But the politician thrives on these divisions. The moment a global civilization comes into existence, these politicians are bound to disappear. How can there be a German Chancellor then, or an American President, or an Iranian Prime Minister?
The politicians and the priests have been in a very subtle conspiracy against humanity. They know one thing for certain: that they can exist only in a divided world. The religions -- I mean the organized religions, the dogmatic religions, the creeds, the cults, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Mohammedanism -- they keep humanity divided. That's how the pope, the ayatollah, the shankaracharya, the imam, and all these hocus-pocus people can exist. If humanity is one then these people will disappear. They will become things of the past -- of an ugly past, of a nightmarish past.
And in the same way, if nations are no more there... and nations are only on the maps -- the earth is not divided. But the maps have become so important -- more than the earth itself, more than the humanity itself. In the so-called religions, the scriptures, the words have become so important that man can be easily killed for words. For Bible, for Koran, for Gita, man can be killed and destroyed, as if man exists only for the Bible and the Koran and the Gita. The truth is just the opposite: all these scriptures exist for man, man does not exist for any scripture. And the same is true on the outside, in the world of politics.
The inner being of man is dominated by the priest and the outer side is dominated by the politician -- and they are in a conspiracy, and it is an ancient conspiracy. They both have understood the fact very clearly: keep man divided -- in states, in churches, in nations, in religions -- and then you will remain in power.
These power-hungry people, these egoists, are bound to be afraid of my sannyasins, because this is something absolutely new
