Kashi...
(& Shree Peetha Nilaya...)

'it's phenomenal that somebody created a place like this
we bow down to them for the intelligence behind it
the competence behind it
the vision behind it
the compassion
behind it

to make it available
to everybody !

this is what the world needs

not dogma, not philosophies
not belief systems

human ability
to go beyond our sense organs
and be able to perceive something
which is right now considered beyond

this is the only way a human being will know
this is the only way a human consciousness wille expand
a human being will evolve beyond the narrow divisions
that have happened in human societies

but those instruments have been systematically destroyed
it's important that these things are brought back !

past we have survived
the question is: the future, will we survive?

this has been unfortunate history of humanity
that the greatest things on the planet will not survive
the crudest things will survive

unless...

society's individual human beings take care to nourish them
it's very important !

if you want a refined society for tomorrow
for our children and their children to live...

if we want a refined society...
it's very important we nurture
the sophistication that is around

otherwise... crude things will dominate

anyway...

it is very easy to manifest the crude
it is very difficult to manifest the sophistication
because it takes thousands of years to evolve it

so, it is a responsability that we have
as a generation of people !

to bring out the subtle aspects of life
and somehow to make them live

to whatever extent
everybody can do

if you cannot create another Kashi...

we can create more instruments
through which human beings can connect
to larger possibility

we don't need more books to read
we need more practical instruments

and méthods through which a human being
can expand his sense
of who he is right now'
