It is simply suicidal. Both will be destroyed, and with them all life on earth will be destroyed.

... line? Forty years is too long a time. They had gone to settle it, but Shastri died. He lived just to be the prime minister for one year. He was very simple in a way, and it was by chance that he was chosen prime minister. No one could have thought that he could win the race, but in the political game it sometimes happens. He was the most unexpected candidate. The commanding, ruling party of the...

... Desai, on the other side was Indira Gandhi. They were afraid to choose Indira Gandhi because in the whole political atmosphere there was the idea that India is not a democracy, but a monarchy. Jawaharlal was the first prime minister; now his daughter will be the second prime minister. They wanted to avoid Indira, because turning it into a family affair would bring condemnation to all of them and would...

... national figure. Just because Jawaharlal loved him for his sincerity, truthfulness, reliability, he was in the supreme commanding committee of the ruling party. Jawaharlal had put him there. The committee unanimously chose Lalbahadur. It sometimes happens.... He was very available to me, but even he was not courageous enough to come to see me. He managed a lunch, in a political way, in the house of one...

And next time when I come to Bombay or anywhere nearby, I am going to come to the ashram. And she came twice to Poona itself, but she never could gather courage to come to the ashram. Political fear.... Just to be associated with a man like me needs...

... even Vinoba Bhave, who was her political guru, blessed her. Now they were afraid that to bless her means to lose many friends. She went to the shankaracharya again to get his blessings. He did not speak a word. She was told that he had taken silence for the day. This was simple diplomacy: if he has taken silence, good; when she touches his feet he can bless her with the hand -- that is not breaking...

... their rulers' claim: "according to the Jewish view God had given Moses on Mount Sinai alike the oral and written Law, that is, the Law with all its interpretations and applications", says Mr. Alfred Edersheim. The people submitted to, but could not always inwardly accept so obviously political a claim, and this inner rebellion against something outwardly professed often led to strange...

(In the same way, in our century, Hitler's persecution was through four stages of propagandist misrepresentation transformed from one of "political opponents" into one of "political opponents and Jews", then of "Jews and political opponents", and last, "of Jews"). The Inquisition sometimes burned the...

...;. Finally, he said that he expected the personal coming of Antichrist in the form of a Jew. (In these words he moved from the ground of political calculation, where as events have shown he was expert, to that of interpreting prophecy; he related Saint Paul's message to the Thessalonians, 2.1.iii-xi, to the coming time, saying, "It is a law of Holy Scripture that when persons are prophesied of...

... too much so - I mean the previous Hindus. Thousands of years have passed since they conceived the idea of a parallel divine world, with as many beings as there were on earth. And they did a great job. Even to count three hundred and thirty million gods... and you don't know the Hindu gods! They are everything that a human being can be - very cunning, mean, political, in every way exploitative. But...

... in convincing him that here is a man who should not in any way be in the political life of the country. Perhaps Jawaharlal was thinking for my sake, or for the country's sake; but he was not a cunning man, so the second cannot be the case. I have seen him so I know. Not just seen, but really have felt in deep empathy, a deep harmony, synchronicity with him. He was old. He had lived his life and...

Two minutes... just because he had been waiting for me and he was an old man, and certainly of political importance, which means nothing to me, but to him it meant too much. That's what repulsed me. He was too political. I loved Jawaharlal because he never talked about politics. For three days continuously we met, without...

This is the system of spies-on-spies and informers-among-informers on which the Communist Party is built (and its Red Army; the official regulations of which show the "political commissar" and "informer" to be a recognized part of the military structure, from the high-command level to the platoon...

...: N.A. Length: N.A. Date Unknown Question: WHAT IS THE BASIC INDIAN PHILOSOPHY? As far as I am concerned, I do not see philosophy as Indian or non-Indian. It is not possible. Philosophy is only universal. There can be no geographical division in the human mind. These divisions, these distinctions, are political. Indian, Japanese and German, or eastern and western - all these divisions are political...

.... They have arisen out of the political mind. In the realm of philosophy we apply them unnecessarily. Not only unnecessarily, but meaninglessly as well. There is no Indian philosophy as such; there cannot be. Philosophy is a universal attitude. You can see the world through three dimensions. One dimension is science: that is, thinking empirically about reality. The second dimension is philosophy...

... REVOLUTIONS FAIL? First, because they are not revolutions. Revolution is possible only in the individual soul. The social revolution is a pseudo phenomenon, because the society has no soul of its own. Revolution is a spiritual phenomenon. There can be no political revolution, no social revolution, no economic revolution. The only revolution is that of the spirit; it is individual. And if millions of...

... individuals change, then the society will change as a consequence, not vice versa. You cannot change the society first and hope that individuals will change later on. That's why revolutions have been failing: because we have taken revolution from a very wrong direction. We have thought that if you change the society, change the structure, economic or political, then one day the individuals, the constituent...

... be part of the past; they will continue the past. Tell the people that there is no future for political revolutions. Only one kind of revolution is possible, and that is spiritual revolution. Each individual has to change in his being, and if we can change millions of people then the society will change. There is no other way, there is no shortcut. And this too has to be understood: It is an...

... the history, the whole history. But there is a fundamental law working: It is an inherent characteristic of any developing system that heroes emerge and are heroes only in the context which stimulated their creation. Political leaders are temporary leaders. They exist in a certain context; when the context is gone they are gone. That is where Buddhas are different: their context is eternity. Their...

... context is not a part of time. This is where Jesus, Zarathustra, Lao Tzu, remain eternally meaningful: because they are not part of time their message is eternal. Their message exists in the context of human misery, human ignorance. Unless the whole existence becomes enlightened, Buddha will not become irrelevant. That's why I say political leaders come and go, they are on the stage just for a few...

..., they chanted the Vedas, they contemplated the statues of Buddha and Mahavir. These are eternal phenomena. That's why I say the events that happen every day are almost meaningless, because the moment they happen, immediately they disappear because their context changes. Political revolutions have been happening and disappearing; they are bubbles, soap bubbles. Maybe for a moment they look very...

... take to destroy it? Just take a bulldozer and within a day the land will be flat. To destroy is very easy, so people become very interested in destruction; they think this is a shortcut. To create is very difficult. And again I will remind you: because all political revolutions are destructive - they are capable in destroying - they can provoke people into destruction. It is very easy to provoke...

..., again people forget and again they start thinking in terms of revolution - and the political leader is always there to lead you into destruction. My work here is of creativity. I am not provoking you into any destruction, I am not telling you to blame others for your misery. I am telling you you are responsible, so only those who have the guts to take this responsibility can be with me. But this is a...

... certainly strange. He asked, "Do you think it is okay to be in the political world?" I said, "I don't think, I know it is not okay at all. It is a curse, a karma. You must have done something wrong in your past lives, otherwise you could not be the prime minister of India." He said, "I agree." Masto could not believe that I could answer the prime minister in such a way, nor...

... see that you could become an important political force, and he laughed at his own idea." That was Masto's interpretation. Now, there was no way to decide, but fortunately Jawaharlal decided it himself, accidentally. Masto told me, so there is no problem. Before Masto left me forever, to disappear in the Himalayas, and before I died the way everybody has to die to be resurrected, he told me...

... in my life and never been a member of any political party, never even dreamed of it. In fact, for almost thirty years I have not dreamed at all. I cannot. I can manage a sort of rehearsal. The word will seem strange, a "rehearsal" dream, but the actual drama never happens, cannot happen; it needs unconsciousness, and that ingredient is missing. You can make me unconscious, but still you...

The Ideals of Statehood (803.1) 71:3.1 The political or administrative form of a government is of little consequence provided it affords the essentials of civil progress — liberty, security, education, and social co-ordination.
