People who are in power, being fragmented, sustain the fragmentations.
If there was no fragmentation—both historically, geographically, nationally, no nations—we would live perfectly safely. We would all be protected, we would all have food, we would all have—you follow? Houses, there would be no wars, we’d all be one. He is my brother; I am him, he is me. But this fragmentation prevents that taking place.
If there were no nationalities, no ideological groups, and so on, and so on, we would be perfectly… I mean, we would have everything we want, instead of spending on armaments, all the rest of it. Proper education, all that. That is prevented because I am a Hindu, you are an Arab, he is a Russian—you follow?—all that is prevented. And we are asking: why does this fragmentation take place? What is the source of it? Is it knowledge? Yes, sir!
Is psychological security more important than biological security?
Because I am seeking psychological security—in ideas, in knowledge, in pictures, in images, in conclusions, all the rest of it—which prevents me from having biological, physical security for me, for my son, for my children, for my brothers. I can’t have it. Because psychological security says: I am a Hindu, a blasted little somebody in a little corner.
Can we be free of the desire to be psychologically secure?
Man has given more importance to psychological security than to biological, physical security.
