Collective Transformation

You have to be inside the system (but free from the system) to change the system. We do not need to directly attack the system. If we do so, we lose our credibility and power to influence those who are still attached to the system. Those who are stuck in the system will do anything to defend attacks to the system (which include eliminating threats or direct attacks by those outside the system).

The first step to collective transformation is individual transformation. The paths of detachment, devotion, wisdom and control may be effective in a personal level to achieve personal freedom from the system and individual transformation. Until individual transformation is complete, we must not rush to transform the world.

The next step is by being an active part of the system, but still acting in everyone's best interests in a respectful, trusting and non-imposing manner while remaining liberated from the system (remaining individually transformed).

Collective transformation cannot be brought about by teaching, preaching, training, fear, threats or punishment. These methods appeal only to the senses, body and the mind, and not to the core of the person's centre for self-awareness. Further, they convey the message that the entity to be transformed is a non-entity lacking in self-awareness, which is the ability to see and learn things by himself (since we have to do it for him). Only love, patience, respect, and trust for others by a transformed individual who performs actions while remaining totally liberated thereby setting an example for others to emulate, can bring about collective transformation.
