Heading in the wrong direction
Premise is the Problem Hansadutta das
Man’s primary problem is that he must die, regardless of how sophisticatedly he has developed his environment with technology and industry. Science, economics and politial manuevering cannot stop any man from growing old, diseased and eventually dying. Therefore, what is the actual benefit of working hard day and night to advance industry and so-called economics? Real advancement must help everyone under all circumstances understand the difference between dead matter and the living force that gives shape to and moves matter. Real progress of science, technology, industry and civilization means progressing out of the DARK INFERIOR ATMOSPHERE of INERT MATTER to the ATMOSPHERE of ETERNAL LIVING FORCE.

Following the blind
excerpt from lecture, Tokyo, April 20, 1972There are many industrialists, many scientists, many philosophers, many politicians, diplomats, and leaders – so many things. They are trying also to solve the problems of the world in different ways, but they cannot do anything. It is impossible. They cannot do anything. They are themselves blind. They do not know actually what is the objective of life. So what they can give you? They can simply create problems. That's all. Ugra-karma. By engaging you in pungent, karmi activities, life becomes most miserable.
