\u2013 I would like to touch on the topic of drugs. This is also a kind of game in a sense because through drugs a person enters a new state and changes. So what\u2019s so bad about drugs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 The fact that a person becomes detached from reality, nothing else is bad about it. A person becomes detached from society and from life. He doesn\u2019t do anything bad to anyone, and he is peacefully walking down the street with a glassy gaze, not seeing anyone. He cannot be considered a socially harmful element, but he causes harm by going against Nature, and we do not agree with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, drugs are very cheap. It\u2019s possible to constantly feed them to 3 or 4 billion of the \u201cextra\u201d people on earth so that the rest can live in peace. We can shut them off from all the problems that way. We could hand out drugs to the masses and the crime rate would immediately drop. We could house them on reservations and let them sit there peacefully, getting high and having a ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the fact is that we inherently oppose this kind of attitude to life. Humanity cannot agree to this despite the fact that these actions are harmless to society and even useful in a sense. Nature has prescribed the goal of our existence so powerfully within us that we cannot passively observe a person who voluntarily detaches himself from a sober, adult life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, we don\u2019t agree to it. We don\u2019t want to take this opportunity to be in nirvana for the rest of our lives and then to peacefully die. On the surface it might seem that nothing could be better. After all, life is full of disappointments, searches, troubles, and depression. But still, we don\u2019t agree to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we can defeat this evil by giving a person satisfaction with what he does, the sensation of a fulfilled life. Then he won\u2019t need to cut himself off from life. But if his entire life consists of endless suffering and emptiness, then we cannot blame him for opting for drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I read a speech by the chief of Russia\u2019s health ministry where he says that in the next decade, up to half of the country\u2019s population will be depressed, and today the rate is already 25%. And this is a declaration by the chief of the health ministry; these are the numbers he makes public! And how many more people are there who are not counted? What can be done with such a mass?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the same situation throughout the world. There are countries with even higher rates. Divorce, violence on a massive scale, terrorism\u2014it is all part of the common problem of enormous inner emptiness. And it has to be filled by something. Otherwise\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We shouldn\u2019t be fighting the drugs, but rather the reason that makes people want them. And that reason is the emptiness within us, which can only be filled by what Nature has prepared for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does the sensation of emptiness arise? And what can it be filled with? In our time we have to rise to the level of integral unification with everyone, and fill ourselves with that. That is how we will come to feel the common nature, its eternity and perfection, and will become included in it, identify ourselves with it. We will flow in that eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will still live the life on earth\u2014where we will realize our integration with others\u2014while sensing ourselves on an order above this world, on the level of a human being rather than an animal or a partially successful social element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By making a person part of the global, integral society, we will tear him away from drugs and he won\u2019t need them anymore. He will experience states of attainment, the search for perfection, and he will acquire harmony that is thousands of times more powerful than when he is under the influence of any chemical substance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
