history of the world

[Guest guest]

The whole history of the world, you just study, is a history of sense

gratification. Just take, for example, some twenty years ago one Mr. Adolf

Hitler came in the scene, and there was great upheaval as war in Europe and

America. From 1933 to 1947 or something like that, the whole world was in

trouble. But he is gone, finished. And what did he do? Sense gratification,

that's all. He wanted that this way government should be, according to his

own sense. Another person, just like Mr. Churchill or your President

Roosevelt, they said "No. The sense gratification should not be like that.

The sense gratification should be like this." (laughter) So it is the war of

sense gratification, that's all. One leader is presenting a program of sense

gratification, another leader is presenting another program of sense

gratification, and there is clash. This is going on. This is the history of

the world.
