Q: Guruji, in
our country, 999 out of 1000 people are dishonest. How will we be able
to bring about transformation in the country with only a few people
joining together?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Do not go with the assumption that 999 out of 1000 people are dishonest. You alone are honest, do not assume that! People who think this way stay angry, and are of no use. Don't think this way. I believe just the opposite. Out of 995, 5 are dishonest. In treta yuga, five used to be honest and a hundred were dishonest. But the effect of Kali yuga is such that there are only five dishonest persons, and a hundred good people. Struck with poverty, these hundred are asleep whereas those five have climbed up somewhere. Now the time has come to bring those five down, and teach them wisdom. You have a lot of power. All those people who are here, are they not good people? Look into the eyes of anyone. They are all good people. They may have committed one or two mistakes. If someone commits a mistake once, will you brand them dishonest for good? That is wrong! Look around. There are thousands of good people. We have seen lakhs of people come to the satsang. There was so much enthusiasm, so much love. Everyone is willing to do seva. Those who are ready to do seva, how can you call them dishonest?
