Questioner: Is economic adjustment is possible as long as human being are what they are?
Baba: Economic adjustment and human nature are interdependent. If it realized that the trouble is due to self-interest, the problem will be solved. It is easy and simple, yet because of its simplicity, the task is also difficult.
For example, if praise and insult did not affect you, you would be always happy. If not, you are bound to be unhappy. How easy the remedy is, yet the simplicity itself makes it difficult.
