The problem of the world are so colossal, so very complex, that to understand and so to resolve them, one must approach them in a very simple and direct manner; and simplicity , directness, do not depend on outward circumstances nor on our particular prejudices and moods.
As we are pointing out , the solution is not to be found through conferences, blueprints or through the substitution of new leaders for old, and so on.
The solution obviously lies in the creator of that problem , in the creator of the mischief , of the hate and of the enormous misunderstanding that exists between human beings. The creator of this mischief , the creator of these problems , is the individual , you and I , not the world as we think of it. The world is your relationship with another. The world is not something separate from you and me – the world , society is the relationship that we establish or seek to establish between each other.
The world is the projection of ourselves and to understand the world we must understand ourselves. We are so sluggish in our mentality that we think the world’s problems are not our business , that they have to be resolved by the governments or by substituting new leaders for the world. It is a very dull mentality that thinks like that, because we are responsible for this frightful misery and confusion in the world, this ever – impending war.
To transform the world ,we must begin with ourselves ; and what is important in beginning with ourselves in the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine; because however small may be the world we live in , if we can transform ourselves, bring about a radically different point of view in our daily existence , then perhaps we shall affect the world at large, the extended relationship with others.
