And the religious teachers have only been giving them consolations, giving them some hocus-pocus,
hypocritical ideas. They have kept them miserable for centuries because they have made them
accept misery as part of life. Not only that, they have raised their sadness and misery to some
spiritual status. They have been telling them, ”Blessed are the poor.” So not only have they accepted
their sadness as just a simple fact of life about which you cannot do anything, but they have also
started feeling good about it, feeling it is something spiritual, that it is a test given by God to them.
Rich people are not going to enter into the kingdom of God; it will be the poor, the miserable – they
will be received with great joy and welcomed. All that they have to do is not to make any fuss about
their misery – accept it as a blessing in disguise. And if for centuries you go on saying such things,
you poison people’s minds. But it seems that they are not alone in their sadness; everybody is sad.
In fact, they will feel afraid to be cheerful in this vast crowd of sad people.
So it is not going to help if when seeing them sad, you also become sad. It is simply making them
more convinced of the fact that joy does not exist on the earth, it is something otherworldly – the fate
and the destiny of the earth is misery. So simply give them an example that it is not true: ”If I can be
cheerful, rejoicing, your whole fabric of stupid theories is proved irrelevant.”
Secondly, you have to remember…. You say that you are not angry, but become sad seeing their
sadness. There are people who become angry – these are the people who create revolutions,
changes in the society, in the state. But all their revolutions have failed, because anything coming
out of anger is coming out of ignorance. It is not going to create an authentic change. Change for
the better is impossible out of anger.
