A total, an enriching revolution cannot take place unless
you and I understand ourselves as a total process. You and I are not isolated
individuals but are the result of the whole human struggle with its illusions,
fancies, pursuits, ignorance, strife, conflict, and misery. One cannot begin to
alter the condition of the world without understanding oneself. If you see
that, there is immediately within you a complete revolution, is there not? Then
no guru is necessary because knowledge of oneself is from moment to moment, it
is not the accumulation of hearsay, nor is it contained in the precepts of
religious teachers. Because you are discovering yourself in relationship with
another from moment to moment, relationship has a completely different meaning.
Relationship then is a revelation, a constant process of the discovery of
oneself, and from this self-discovery, action takes place. So, self-knowledge
can come only through relationship, not through isolation. Relationship is
action, and self-knowledge is the result of awareness in action.
