Our modern civilisation claims to be very productive, creative and resourceful but a hundred years ago we did not have many of the diseases that exist today. Every day more diseases are being created. For although we are alive, the majority of us experience only the art of existing. Very few of us have really cultivated that technique which is called the art of living. The reason for this is that life today has become very artificial. Man’s whole life seems to be kept busy in trying to get rid of self created suffering. Is there nothing higher for human beings than freedom from these ailments?
