• Men are made uneasy; they flinch; they cannot bear the sudden light; a general restlessness supervenes; the face of society is disturbed, or perhaps convulsed; old interests and old beliefs have been destroyed before new ones have been created. These symptoms are the precursors of revolution; they have preceded all the great changes through which the world has passed.

• Donde ningún hombre se cree obligado a someterse a otro, y, en vez de cooperar en un gran plan, cada uno se apresura por caminos secundarios al beneficio privado, ningún gran cambio puede hacerse repentinamente; ni el conocimiento superior tiene mucho efecto, donde cada hombre resuelve usar sus propios ojos y su propio juicio, y cada uno aplaude su propia destreza y diligencia, en la medida en que se enriquece antes que su vecino.

• Put your energies into creativity. Forget about anger as a problem, ignore it. Channelise your energy towards more creativity. Pour yourself into something that you love. Rather than making anger your problem, let creativity be your object of meditation. Shift from anger to creativity and immediately you will see a great change arising in you. And tomorrow the same things will not feel like excuses for being angry because now energy is moving, is channelised, is being sublimated, is enjoying itself, its dance. Who cares about small things?

  Rajneesh

  Moving, Anger, Creativity
