This world is adrift in a sea of ignorance. The blind are leading the blind, and the deaf are teaching the dumb. Nobody sees what they are doing to themselves. The teachers and preachers have lots to say and many odd ideas to convey, but they do not know how to listen.
Human beings are prisoners of their own ego and imagination.
They know how to put on a show, but they don't know how to practice. They know how to perform and how to teach others to conform, but they do not know how to reform themselves and become real human beings. The changes have to come from within. Those who look outside for fulfillment become contaminated by the lies and half-truths. Only the one who remains self-contained becomes sure of him Self and realizes his True Nature.
