beliefs,  rituals,  with  their separations,  with  their
                     factions. Human beings have created this. Is
                     that what is preventing us from being good? Is
                     it because we believe, or because we are so self-
                     concerned with our own problems of sex, fear,
                     anxiety, loneliness, wanting to fulfil, wanting to
                     identify with something or other? Is that what is
                     preventing  a  human  being  from  being  good?  If
                     those things are preventing us, then they have no
                     value. If you see that to bring about this quality
                     of goodness any pressure from any direction—
                     including your own belief, your own principles,
                     your own ideals—utterly prevents that goodness
                     from being, then you will naturally put them aside
                     without any equivocation, any conflict, because
                     they are stupid.
