Ask The Master: 30 Oct 2007

Q. All over the world, attempts are being made to reform social wrongdoers, for example, in prisons, through practice of meditation. Do you agree with these efforts?

Certainly. We should definitely make these attempts. These places have become centers of negativity. Meditation can definitely do a lot in this area because ultimately the change has to come from inside the individual. Before you can see the change in society, the transformation should take place inside every individual, inside every potential criminal. Meditation can not only transform individuals; ultimately it can definitely bring down the crime rate in society itself.
