After we have answered all other questions, the question of questions awaits us. For based on our answer to this one question will depend the validity of all our other answers. It is the first and the last question that confronts man. It is the first question when he comes to birth. It is also the last question when he prepares to exit through the gates of death. But also from time to time this question repeats itself perennially, especially in moments of crisis when all our planks of support, including our own strength are taken away. Therefore it is the question of questions:

Science advances through fresh data, new information. Humanity advances as it develops; it evolves and acquires fresh insights, new capacities to interpret the data and understand the meaning of the information that filters though the mind and the senses.

All creation is a play of oneness with multiplicity. Oneness is behind, multiplicity is in the front. Oneness is like the calm depths of Space: vast, free, holding its luminosity back within itself or else letting it escape in the splendour of the stars. Multiplicity is like waves upon waves of Time rolling upon the surfaces of life, first supporting and strengthening, then cancelling each other. But nevertheless each wave, whether it unites or destroys another of its kind, derives its strength from the same ocean floor. In fact, the deeper the origin of the wave, the stronger is its rise.

What is it that we have accomplished and what is yet to be accomplished? We have measured the distances between the stars but whatever creates a distance between human hearts still eludes us. We have mapped the continents, but the inner topography of our human nature is something that still escapes our understanding. We have calculated the lifespan of the sun but the beginning of our soul’s aspiration and its grand fulfilment is still hidden from our sight. We have unravelled the mystery of time but have no idea of the timeless eternal. Space we have covered, but have not discovered the being from which space is born. In short, we have analysed, studied and mastered the outer field, but the inner fields of our nature and the whole subjective side of human existence remains a disputed territory. We can manipulate the external world and material forces, but the inner world and its psychological forces remain unconquered and mysterious to us.

The end of an age is often marked by the eruption of all that must pass out of existence. It is a catharsis, a catharsis of all that has settled inside the subconscious of man through centuries and millenniums of experience through the ambiguous fields of earth. The deep-rooted means that threw themselves up from time to time as a malaise have taken the form of a malady, a civilisational nightmare, so they say. It’s only so that we may find the true cure. In short, the age of palliatives is over. We seek and need a radical remedy.
