When the old dies the new can take it's place

 I AM AGAINST CLASSES OF POOR PEOPLE AND RICH PEOPLE, BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY IN FAVOR OF PRIVATE PROPERTY. The differences should not be too great, but differences should be allowed.

    AND THE STATE SHOULD NOT BE THE OWNER OF ALL THE PROPERTY OF THE LAND -- because the politicians already have more power than they should have. To give them even more power -- all the power in their hands -- is to commit a suicide.

    MY REBEL IS A MEDITATOR. HE LOVES PEACE, he loves people, he loves their well-being and he will do everything for their natural growth. He will not impose any ideology, he will simply help everybody to be himself.

    Such a rebellion has never happened. But IT IS TIME -- THE RIGHT TIME. If it does not happen, then you can lose all hope for any future possibility of human existence as such. The old society has become so rotten that it is going to die. BEFORE IT DIES, LET US CREATE SEEDS FOR A NEW MAN.

    My insistence for rebellion is to create those seeds, SO WHEN THE OLD DIES -- it is bound to die, it has created its own death -- THE NEW CAN TAKE ITS PLACE. And the new can be made alert and aware, so that it does not repeat the old pattern again. It is easier to repeat the old pattern, but once you are alert you never commit the same mistake again. It is only the stupid who go on committing the same mistakes again....

    A REBELLION WHICH IS RELIGIOUS, WHICH IS SPIRITUAL, which is NOT born out of the flames of violence, but which is born out of the fragrance of love and compassion, out of meditation, alertness and awareness, IS THE ONLY POSSIBILITY FOR A TRANSFORMATION of this beautiful planet into a paradise.

    Yes, Maneesha, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, EXACTLY THAT I AM TRYING TO DO. You are saying, "You have been talking on your vision of the rebel lately, and yet the atmosphere I feel around us at the moment is particularly soft, loving, pliable. To me, this feels like part of your magic -- that you are showing us, existentially, that the rebel will be born not out of the fumes of violence and unhappiness, but from the fragrance of love and ecstasy."

    Exactly that's what I am living for.

    Exactly that is what I am preparing you for.
