Who controls
the technology today?
Who controls all your nuclear weapons?
Who controls all your scientific discoveries?
Have you raised your voice against it?
Have you ever thought
that the whole life on the earth is now
in the hands of idiotic politicians.
And it has been always so
anything discovered
is immediately captured by the governments
so why the question only about
genetic engineering
are you not afraid that the politicians
have the nuclear weapons
which can destroy you 700 times although
destroyed once
you will not need
to be destroyed again because you are not
the only begotten son of god
you will not resurrect
and messiahs are not around
who will
bring you back to life
But you are afraid
I can understand
that if this genetic engineering
is in the hands of politicians certainly
they are not going to produce the man
of beauty, love, silence, intelligence, grace.
They are going to create steel robots
to make all of them
soldiers to fight, to kill.
I know it, that's why
i have proposed there should not be nations
The world should have only one functioning government.
All boundaries have to be removed
All passports and green cards have to be burnt
it is enough
to enter any country because
you are a human being.
It is a very strange thing you don't ask the birds
where is your passport
How you dared to enter America
you need a visa
and if you want to remain permanently here
you will need a green card.
Animals seem to be more free than you.
because animals don't know anything about
the boundaries that you have drawn on your map.
They go on moving from one place to another place.
Sometimes they travel thousands of miles.
We have tried religion and it failed.
We have tried politics and it has failed.
Now we have to try science.
Give it a chance because in 300 years
it has made more progress
than man has made in his whole
history of millions of years.
And I have supposed to you
that the world should have
one academy of sciences.
So there is no Russian scientist, no American scientist.
No Hindu scientist no Christian scientist
all that is past
that academy will have all the geniuses of the world.
and all other efforts have failed
science should be given a chance.
There is no harm at the most it can fail.
Worst
is the possibility that science also fails.
But I don't think it can fail
But we have to prepare
a new kind of man.
Out of that new kind of man -
meditative, silent, loving -
will be coming scientists.
And I am not a pessimist,
neither I am an optimist,
I am very much realist
As I can conceive it
all these things are possible in fact
without them life will become impossible.
The choice is yours
Give science a chance
and prepare the ground that there are no governments
only one government
which has no desire to fight, because there is nobody to fight.
even the politicians character will change.
because there will be no political parties
People will be choosing individually.
There is no political
vested interest
because of the political parties
the politician is bound to be cunning, exploiting,
doing all kinds of things.
I have the whole vision of the new man.
No religions, no nations, no governments:
only one functional government and
a powerful
world academy of scientists.
and as far as science is concerned
this should be the decisive factor
Don't be afraid, scientists are not monsters,
scientists are very much humane.
And if the meditation
goes on flowering
and sannyasins go on growing
scientists will be the first people to be interested
about the inner journey.
They need it
otherwise their lives are unbalanced
they are only going out, out, out...
they need certain methods
so they can go in...
inwards... and keep a certain balance.
And a meditative scientist
cannot conceive
to create monsters,
murderers.
Science has been a blessing to man.
It can be a greater blessing, if there is only one world.
