Dry intellect will destroy you and destroy others. This dry intellect is selfish. When that intellect cannot fulfill physical or psychic desires, it becomes jealous. Jealousy is the mark of an undeveloped personality. Psychology states that whoever is jealous has an undeveloped personality. Even if you are sixty years old, you remain a little baby in your development because you do not trust yourself. If something is lost, it does not matter. If it is in your destiny, it will come back. If something is lost, consider it one problem less. That is all. But jealousy is something else. Jealousy is so strong it is a burning fire. Sometimes people lose their appetite and lose many kilos. I tell them that at least jealousy has this one good quality: you lose the kilos and may become healthy. Yet, jealousy is your biggest enemy; it will dim your spirituality. Therefore, quit jealousy from your program. Write down all these negative principles: jealousy, hate, complexes, greed, anger, selfishness, revenge, and all such points. Then sit and ask yourself which ones you possess. If you have them, declare, "I do not want them." Remove them. Then write down the positive qualities: love, understanding, kindness, helpfulness, forgiveness, equality. Write down all these good human qualities. Note which ones you already have—that is beautiful. Underline the ones you lack and say, "These I want to have." Thus, change negative qualities into positive qualities. No one can do this for you; only you must do it. This transformation comes from the buddhi, the intellect. A small child, when born, does not have these qualities active; they are dormant. Slowly, as he grows and experiences, selfishness arises, and then the qualities begin to grow. Human life is a very precious diamond, which will not be given to us again and again. If you want to do something, do it now. Time waits for no one. Day by day, we grow older. If you think next year you will be younger, stronger, and healthier, forget it. If you think you will do it tomorrow, forget it. Until today, no one has seen tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow. Every time is the present. Yesterday is the past. You cannot catch yesterday; you cannot reach tomorrow. Remain in the present time. Therefore, what you must do tomorrow, do it today. And what you must do today, do it just now. You never know when your breath will stop. When will you do this then? Thus, the main aim of human life is this: to attain Self-realization and to work in a healthy way for our society, for the protection of all creatures and the entire planet—the environment, the waters, lakes, rivers, and ocean, and so on. Do what you can. But the main thing is that you should have achieved your spiritual goal. --- Recording location: Australia, Perth, World Peace Tour 2005
