It Is Easier to Speak the Truth than to Write It
For five years I have not read anything
no newspaper, no book,
no television,
nothing.
I'm so happy.
And what is there to read?
I neither read nor write.
All my books are my discourses.
You never put your thoughts on paper?
Never.
In my whole life I have never written.
Any particular reason why not?
It is easier to speak the truth
than to write it.
The written word is dead.
The spoken word has some life at least.
The eyes, the gestures,
the tone,
the nuance of the voice,
everything
which
the written letter misses.
We live in the video age. You could make video cassettes.
We are making.
Will they be made available to the general public?
It is available all over the world.
I am a very
contemporary man.
So you are communicating other than just one on one or just to a group?
Yes;
this is communication.
But the video cassettes are, in a way, a book not a written word, but a record.
It is different. Very different.
And soon, when it becomes three dimensional,
then it will be really beautiful.
