Life has become a problem only because we have tried to isolate it from death, treating death itself as a problem. When we see that death is not a problem but an inevitable component of life, then life is not a problem either. Life and death are inseparable. This is pure and simple truth — it is universal. Death has no partiality — it comes to saint and sinner alike.
If you meditate upon this both selfishness and injustice collapse; they lose their significance. When that which you love the most — life — is seen as a vehicle that drives you to the grave, profound change takes place. You learn to live and to love all.
Injustice cannot be eradicated by any other means. Evil cannot be "fought" by good. The fighting and the destruction are themselves evil and breed evil in those who were formerly oppressed by the former evil.
Evil cannot be canceled by resistance. It is resistance that infuses strength to the evil force. If there is no resistance, the evil may, in all probability, blow itself out.
This does not mean, however, that injustice and oppression are desirable! There is another way — to live as if the last hour were at hand. Life and death are inseparable — that itself is total awakening to the truth.
