The scandal is to make people believe that through some
exercises they will be better and their deep questioning will
be satisfied. It is to make people believe that by following
this therapy, by adopting that concept, by wearing a particular
color of clothes, by hanging on their wall or to their neck a
picture of a popular guru, it will bring about a profound
questioning. That is charlatanry.

Real life is facing the moment. The different possibilities
of conflict express themselves in the world: you face them,
you look at what is touched in you, you look at what is
death, destruction. In this way, you realize what you are.
When your house is destroyed, when your body is broken,
when your family is wiped out, you realize to what extent
you are free or not from yourself. But to sit in a room to
do yoga, to chew hundred times a mouthful of brown rice...
of course, you feel good, but there is no questioning.

...it is the cataclysms that deeply question the human being,
they make him ask the real questions. Everything else
makes him sleep. So, it should be very clear that the state
of the world is its chance. Unfortunately, there are times
when a cataclysm is the only way to bring about a
questioning. All this romanticism of yoga, of the East,
of spirituality, all these spiritual techniques of progression,
of purification, they really are a waste of money and energy.
One day they will completely disappear, and maybe that day
we won't need cataclysms to wake up.
