The Outer Situation Exists In A Certain Collaboration With...

"People are ill, hungry, dying, but if anything can change this situation, 

the first requirement will be that we have to change our ways of thinking. 

And that is difficult for the masses. They have lived with a certain kind of mind, 

they have cherished that mind for centuries, and they are utterly unaware that 

their mind is the cause of their suffering. 

They want to change the outer situation, but they are unaware that the outer 

situation exists in a certain collaboration with their inner mind. So whenever 

somebody wants to change the outer situation, their inner mind is going to be hurt 

and wounded, and they will not be able to forgive such a person. 

That's what happened to Indira. She really tried. She has been the most courageous 

prime minister that India had in these past three decades. That was the problem, 

that she started doing something really significant. 

But then the masses were angry: their traditions were broken, their conditionings 

were broken. The masses were angry, and the politicians, the opportunists of this 

country exploited the situation." 

- Rajneesh
