"You and I are paying the price of having grown up in such a materially
oriented society. Such an externalised society, a society that measures
people in terms of their products, their achievements, their
possessions, their knowledge. Instead of cultivating the quality of
being. In the East one spends one’s life in a spiritual sense preparing
for aging and death. We have spent most of our lives denying aging and
death.
And the predicament we face now is that once we become older, when we
suddenly realize there’s another agenda, its harder to do it now.
Because its harder to not be distracted by all of the changes that are
happening in our bodies and our minds. Go through the spiritual
transformations when you are young so that when you get old you will
have built up the resonance within yourself to transform the changes
without getting caught in them."
