understand that I have to be interdependent. At present my energies are such that I would like to protest, I would like to win over, I will conquer you. No, there is no question of conquering each other. This process will continue. The Rayalaseema strife will start. You conquer now by annihilating somebody, that fellow conquers you after annihilating you. Somebody else comes, this process will continue, you will never live together. If you have to live together in harmony, the concept of conquering does not arise, the question of understanding arises. When can you understand? You can understand only when you know your source. So if this is the goal that you are keeping in mind and you start with the sadhana then there is some point otherwise there is no point

Unless I know the common bond with You I will not be in a position to see this, unless I know that I am from You and I am not that independent, I will not be in a position to understand his problems. Once I know You, I will be in a position to know all. This is what from the beginning everybody has said it. Once you know Him you will have everything else but everybody thought of knowing Him for his own good for his own independent living that is the mistake of traditional thinking in sadhana. Each man wanted to become a realized soul exclusively for himself without any concern for others. I would like to realize so I go to Himalayas, I go to some other place, I try to live a solitary life. Solitary life - that means what?
