__Children, do you want to know by what your hearts should be
guided? Throw aside your longings and strivings after that which
is null and void; get rid of your erroneous thoughts about
happiness and wisdom, and your empty and insincere desires.
Dispense with these and you will know Love.__ KRISHNA.

__Be not the destroyers of yourselves. Arise to your true Being,
and then you will have nothing to fear.__ KRISHNA.


New justifications have now appeared in place of the antiquated,
obsolete, religious ones. These new justifications are just as
inadequate as the old ones, but as they are new their futility
cannot immediately be recognized by the majority of men. Besides
this, those who enjoy power propagate these new sophistries and
support them so skilfully that they seem irrefutable even to many
of those who suffer from the oppression these theories seek to
justify. These new justifications are termed 'scientific'. But
by the term 'scientific' is understood just what was formerly
understood by the term 'religious': just as formerly everything
called 'religious' was held to be unquestionable simply because
it was called religious, so now all that is called 'scientific'
is held to be unquestionable. In the present case the obsolete
religious justification of violence which consisted in the
recognition of the supernatural personality of the God-ordained
ruler ('there is no power but of God') has been superseded by the
'scientific' justification which puts forward, first, the
assertion that because the coercion of man by man has existed in
all ages, it follows that such coercion must continue to exist.
