Q. "How do you cope with human suffering from craving and want and ignorance... from preoccupation with the body and things?"
RBF: "You and I are life and not the organisms we employ. Cravings and wants do come from ignorance--as agitated by advertising. The answer lies in increased knowledge and gradual freedom from the conditioned reflexes of our elders.
"The physical is purely a complex of events--not things--in pure principle. The environment has everything to do with the way I behave. Here I am composed of 65 percent water which freezes or boils within very narrow limits. We had nothing to do with our design. We are here to employ our minds on a planet where gears and muscle are still in control. We are at the point of our final examination--emerging from the womb of permitted ignorance to function as a local monitor in relation to the regenerative integrity of Universe. We first came out of the orifice with muscle in control."
