"The overall human problem can be simply explained. Men and women
think, twenty-four hours a day, with a thinking that lacks a wish
for true inner development. It’s absent. The wish to change from
the kind of mental operation they now have, that wish is not there,
so they stay where they are and wonder why.
You want to do different, you want to include the wish for trans-
formation, self-transformation, for a new mind, to be a person who
is not harmful to yourself. And there is a way to do that and you
have to start with a wish for inner change.
The wish for inner change must be accompanied by you realizing
that you must not judge what you must do, where you must go or
the nature of the change. This is very important."
