Multinational Corporations And A Market Economy Have

Large Numbers Of Young People Are Waking Up. And They Are Saying, "we Are Not Here Just To Work For Multinational Corporations And Make Money For Them. We Are Here To Live. We Have To Find The Meaning Of Life."

In Addition To World Conflicts, The Most Challenging Problem We Face Today Is Hunger, Deprivation And Social Injustice. Because We're Ruled By Separate Self-interest, We Go On Accumulating Personal Wealth, Ignoring The Well Being Of The Others.

People Are Increasingly Becoming Disappointed And Disillusioned With Politics And Business, And Especially With The Market Economy. They Are Meeting The Physical Needs Of Human Beings, Maybe. They Are Providing Food. But Not Good And Healthy Food.

Sometimes I Come Across A Tree Which Seems Like Buddha Or Jesus: Loving, Compassionate, Still, Unambitious, Enlightened, In Eternal Meditation, Giving Pleasure To A Pilgrim, Shade To A Cow, Berries To A Bird, Beauty To Its Surroundings, Health To Its Neighbors, Branches For The Fire, Leaves For The Soil, Asking Nothing In Return, In Total Harmony With The Wind And The Rain. How Much Can I Learn From A Tree? The Tree Is My Church, The Tree Is My Temple, The Tree Is My Mantra, The Tree Is My Poem And My Prayer.

When You Come To The Spiritual Needs, The Emotional Needs, The Needs Of Our Inner Life, Then Politics And Business And Technology Are Completely Impotent. They Are Completely Unable To Meet And Address The Needs Of Human Beings.
