如何改變世界？How to change the world？
You cannot remove completely all evils from this world.
你無法將這世上所有的弊端都去除。
Just as in gout and rheumatism, the pain and swelling shift from one joint to another, and if one boil is cured, another crops up in another place, so also one evil is eradicated in one place, another evil manifests in another place.
就好像痛風和風濕病一樣，疼痛和腫脹會從一個關節轉移到另一個關節；如果一個瘡好了，另一個地方又會起。同樣的，一個地方的弊端被去除，另一個弊端又會出現在另一個地方。
Social workers pity the lot of young widows, and try to arrange widow marriages. They think that they"re doing good to the country. But another evil crops up, it comes in for marrying other girls. They remain unmarried. This is another evil.
社會工作者同情年輕的寡婦，嘗試去安排寡婦婚姻。他們認為他們對國家有所幫助。但另一個弊端出現了，就是其他女孩的婚嫁。她們一直未婚。這就是另一個弊端。
Social workers try to stop prostitution. This is laudable work. But as passion is very powerful and uncontrollable, those who cannot afford to marry began to secretly molest and outrage family ladies. Even legislation cannot stop this evil. Clandestine prostitution takes place vigorously.
社會工作者試圖阻止賣淫。這是值得稱讚的工作。但是，由於激情非常強大且不可控制，那些結不起婚的人開始秘密地騷擾和冒犯已婚女士們。即使立法也不能阻止這樣的惡行。地下賣淫盛行。
This world is very crooked. it"s like the tail of a dog. As soon as you take away your hands, it will again become crooked.
這個世界是扭曲的。就像狗的尾巴一樣，一旦你的手拿開，它就會變得彎曲。
So many yogis, teachers, saints and prophets came into this world and preached. Still it is crooked; it is in the same state. Therefore do not bother much about reforming this crooked world, this can never be done.
無數的瑜伽士、老師、聖哲和先知來到這世上，來教學。世界依然是扭曲的，世界還在相同的狀態。因此，不要為改變這個扭曲的世界而操心，這是永遠不可能的。
Reform yourself first, then the whole world can be reformed. How can you help the world when you yourself a weak and ignorant? It will be like a blind man leading another blind man. Both must fall into a deep abyss.
首先改變自己，然後整個世界才有可能改變。當你自己是又弱又無知的時候，你怎麼幫得了這個世界？這就會像一個盲人領著另一個盲人。兩人都得掉入深淵。
