Discourse 23
I Stand for the Whole Man
I Stand for the Whole Man
13 January 1988 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN BEING WITHDRAWN, BEING INTROVERTED AND
TURNING IN?
Prem Ageha, Western psychology has created a very schizophrenic
situation by dividing man into extroverts and introverts. Man is one.
This division has been destructive of all humanity and its whole past.
The moment you divide any organic unity, it dies. You can divide
only mechanical entities but not organic ones. You can take a
bicycle apart and you can put it together again and you will not lose
anything. But if you take a man apart and put him together again
you won’t have the same man you had divided; you will have only a
corpse.
It is of utmost importance to understand that organic unities cannot
be divided – neither into higher and lower, nor into outer and inner,
nor into sacred and mundane, nor into material and spiritual.
Man is all. What appears to be contradictory is only complementary,
to those who understand. Your question raises great implications.
Just a few days ago one Japanese scientist was here to attend a
world science conference. He became aware about me only at the
last moment....
