Men are not equal - That is my fundamental approach

AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM MILLIONS OF RUPEES are not going to give as charity. If they give one million, they will take out of that politician at least fifty million, not less than that. When he comes into power then ALL THE LICENSES WILL GO TO THE MAN WHO HAS BROUGHT HIM INTO POWER.

    THESE POLITICIANS ARE ALL SLAVES to one capitalist party or to another capitalist family. They go on promising the poor a better future, and they know perfectly well that that better future is not going to come -- because first they have to repay the money that has been given to them. They are themselves slaves.

    THIS SITUATION IS UGLY, THE STRUCTURE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE CHANGED. But it should be changed because you have a compassion, a love for all suffering human beings -- not an anger, an envy, a jealousy against those few who have all the money, who have all the luxuries.

    It is a question of focus: ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR THE POOR OR ARE YOU FIGHTING BECAUSE OF YOUR JEALOUSY because you are not one of the fifteen families? Is it your jealousy, envy, anger, violence, that is prompting you to rebel against this structure? IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN, when you will be in power, you will be more dangerous -- because you will take as much revenge as you are capable of... with vengeance.

    But if your revolution is because you have seen the suffering humanity, you will create a structure which will give equal opportunity to everybody to grow. BUT YOU WILL NOT IMPOSE THE IDEA OF EQUALITY, BECAUSE EQUALITY SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST -- it is not psychological and it is not existential.

    A BERTRAND RUSSELL IS A BERTRAND RUSSELL, and if he has a little more comfortable life, he needs it. HIS CONTRIBUTION IS SO GREAT that he should be provided with all the comforts possible.

    AN ALBERT EINSTEIN IS AN ALBERT EINSTEIN. He is not equal to anybody else in the world and nobody can claim to be equal to him. It will be simply stupid to force him to be equal -- HIS WORK IS DIFFERENT, HIS GENIUS IS DIFFERENT. In fact, he has not to be dragged down, he is not a shopkeeper and he is not a laborer. And he should not be forced to be a shopkeeper -- that would be a tremendous harm to the whole evolution of mankind. And he should not be forced to be a laborer, because nobody else can replace him.

    WHO IS GOING TO CREATE THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY? Who is going to give us the tremendous power of atomic energy? It is unfortunate that the politicians have been using it in destroying man, but Albert Einstein is not responsible for it. The same energy could have been used for making man richer, healthier, for making the world more beautiful.

    MEN ARE NOT EQUAL -- THAT IS MY FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH.
