Q. “How do you cope with human suffering from craving and want and ignorance… from preoccupation with the body and things?”
RBF: "You and I are life and not the organisms we employ. Cravings and wants do come from ignorance–as agitated by advertising. The answer lies in increased knowledge and gradual freedom from the conditioned reflexes of our elders.
“The physical is purely a complex of events–not things–in pure principle. The environment has everything to do with the way I behave. Here I am composed of 65 percent water which freezes or boils within very narrow limits. We had nothing to do with our design. We are here to employ our minds on a planet where gears and muscle are still in control. We are at the point of our final examination–emerging from the womb of permitted ignorance to function as a local monitor in relation to the regenerative integrity of Universe. We first came out of the orifice with muscle in control.”
