Today I see the crisis in the world as one identification: A man identifies himself with his profession, religion, race, culture, nationality, language, region, or sex. Only after that does he identify with being a human being. Limited identification leads to war. Through education we need to bring about a change in our basic identity. We are all first part of the Divine, and secondly, we are human beings. This can happen only through right spiritual knowledge. The spiritual search will always be for new wisdom. As we enter the coming new age, this Wisdom for the New Millenium offers us many profound insights to further our journey.
