you. That's why philosophers don't look at life; they are never existential. Even the philosophers who call them-selves existentialists, even they are not existential. They are speculative. They weave theories in their minds. And they force life to conform to their theories. Life becomes crippled and paralyzed.
That's what Hindus and Mohammedans and Christians have done to truth -- they have ALL para-lyzed it. And they feel very sorry: "Why has truth died in the world?" They are the murderers!

What the virtues are and what the sins are. He wants me to be very definite and clear.
It is not possible -- because the thing that is virtue in the morning may become sin in the evening. And the thing that was sin in the morning may become virtue in the
