Some of the leaders who can right now make a huge difference to the world,
they firmly believe that the world will end in whatever this 2012 or whatever.
You know that? People who are leading the country believe that
the world is going to end in 2012. No wonder they are living so blatantly.
These doom sayers have always been there in the world, nothing new. Okay?
The way they are living, yes, it's a possibility; the world could end.
There is no such immediate danger, don’t worry.
Now the true danger is not that the world is going to end.
The world may live on in a terrible condition. That’s the real danger.
The world ends, what's your problem? If the world ends there is no problem.
The world may just live on with terrible problems. That is the real problem, isn't it?
So that’s what we must guard ourselves against, not about the world ending.
The world ends, what's the problem? All the problems are over, isn't it?
World will live on; if we don’t live responsibly,
world will continue to live on in a terrible condition.
That’s going to be bad, isn't it?
It's only happening to small segments of humanity right now where people are
living in absolutely terrible conditions, either because of poverty or violence or disease.
Certain segment of humanity is right now living in absolutely disastrous conditions, isn't it?
Whether it is because of war or disease or poverty, it's happening.
We are just going on thinking such a thing will never happen to us;
may be it will not happen to us, suppose it happens to our children, do we want it?
May be it will not happen to me; suppose it happens to our children,
do we want that to happen to them? The possibility is not far, isn't it?
If we don’t live responsibly the possibility is not far. It's close.
So we are always thinking, ‘What about the President? What about the Prime Minister?’
Forget about them, what about you, isn't it? What about you?
Just let that happen. This is the only way the world can change, one by… one at a time.
You understand? There is not going to be all of a sudden,
the whole world got enlightened like this. Such things won't happen.
An individual has to make effort to evolve.
It's only from that, something wonderful will happen in the world.
Politicians didn’t fall upon us from heaven or hell.
It is we who elevated them to where they are, isn't it?
That’s what democracy means. Isn't it so? You are the king.
That’s what democracy means. So what kind of king would you choose?
Just what you deserve. So if you have to deserve something better,
you have to transform yourself.
Then naturally you will have a transformed king.
