The inner psychic movement of human beings, their existential awareness, is completely rhythmic. A portion of whatever happens in the outer world, in outer existence, is adjusted with the inner psychic rhythm. When there is a maladjustment between the external physical rhythm and the internal psychic rhythm, one feels some distress. You may have experienced in your personal life that sometimes you feel very uneasy in the company of certain people, but you feel quite comfortable with another group. When the rhythm of your movement in the external world, the rhythm of your lifestyle, conforms to your inner psychic rhythm, you feel comfortable. But when these rhythms do not correspond, you feel uncomfortable. For progress in the external world there should be clear guidelines, a clear and well-integrated philosophical base. The society often lacks this; and that is why people tend to lose balance in social life. When those who have developed intellectually come in contact with an uncongenial environment, they find it difficult to adjust. The present-day humanity has, no doubt, made considerable intellectual progress. But in the external world, there is a lack of adjustment. This is the reason why, among the educated people of today, the number of people suffering from psychic disorders is on the increase, because the pattern of internal psychic rhythm is altogether different from the external psychic rhythm of the objective world. Obviously, a clash is inevitable, and the impact of this clash is felt much more in the psychic realm than in the physical sphere. As a result, human beings lose their mental adjustment. Failure of Philosophies Many theories have been propounded in the world. Some of them were concerned mainly with the spiritual world; they had no concern for the rationality of the psychic world at all. Unfortunately, most of these theories have been thrown into the garbage heap of history. There were some theories which showed some concern for the psychic realm as well, but they too could not develop the mental equipoise of society and were rejected by the people. Some philosophies pertaining to the physical realm were very fine indeed, but they were not in perfect tune with the hard realities of the objective world; those philosophies were quite satisfactory in the dreamland of theory, but they had no connection whatsoever with the practicalities of the earth. Other theories have spoken glibly of human equality. However, upon application people discovered the ineffectiveness of these theories, because the fundamental principles of these philosophies were contrary to the basic realities of the world: “Diversity is the law of nature, uniformity will never occur.” Sometimes the superficial display of these theories has dazzled the eyes of the onlooker, but actually they contain no dynamism. And yet, dynamism is indeed the first and last word of human existence. That which has lost its dynamism is just like a stagnant pool. In the absence of flow, a pond is invariably overgrown with weeds, and becomes a hazard to health. It is better to fill these sorts of ponds with earth. Many philosophies in the past have rendered this kind of disservice to humanity. In the end they have only flung humanity into the quagmire of dogmatism, the breeding ground of innumerable mosquitos. They did not contribute to the welfare of any human being.
