The only way we’re going to defeat evil is for people to taste this fire—the divine fire, the fire of nature, the fire of being fully alive. When you feel that fire, greed begins to lose its grip on you. You stop living in constant fear about money. You stop sacrificing your principles just to protect your paycheck, reputation, or position. You become brave enough to do the right thing—even when doing the right thing costs you something. That is how institutions change. Institutions don’t transform themselves. They transform when the people inside them become courageous enough to stop obeying corruption, stop protecting evil, and start standing firmly for what is right. We cannot repair the world with more lifeless rules administered by frightened people. We need people whose souls are on fire—people who feel so connected to life, nature, truth, and God that they cannot be bought or intimidated. Light that fire in enough people, and we can fix our institutions. Light it in enough people, and we can change the world.
