Actually, national duties, social duties and humanitarian duties are obligatory only to those
who are bereft of spiritual duties. As soon as a man takes his birth on this dart, not only
does he have national, social and humanitarian obligations, but he also has obligations to
the demigods who supply air, light, water, etc. He also has obligations to the great sages
who have left behind them vast treasure-houses of knowledge to guide him through life. He
has obligations to all kinds of living beings, to his foremothers and forefathers, family
members and so forth and so on. But as soon as one engages himself in the one single
obligatory duty – the duty of spiritual perfection – then he automatically liquidates all other
obligations without having to make separate efforts.

B: Hello…hello everybody – my name is Professor Con.
A: Hello, hello and I am Professor Spiritsee.
It is a lovely day in Hamburg today. We prepared and prayed for sunshine and rain; the
aura, the tears of the gods.
B: You know I have been thinking …
I am right, therefore I am correct – you, on the otherhand
are left, therefore you are not right, you are incorrect.
hahahaha
YOU ARE NOT RIGHT YOU ARE INCORRECT!

A: Argh! You sound like a quirky Nazi. A silly fascist.
Right and Left and incorrect.
You my friend have no heart which is why you over compensate so much with your
bombastic, un-subtlety.
B: I …have no heart?
A: Correct! You are RIGHT – with no heart!
The heart resides on the left side which is why you my dear friend are heartless, and ! !
without sense, in your mundane [over] simplicity!
B: Ump!
A: Now, if you had a heart or we were neither or either or… we could share it and be
balanced, no?
Like Prince or Bowie we could access it, transform it, work with it – re-present it, recreate it,
be gentler in form.
Would you want to share it with me?
You would feel less empty?
It would be like a Bowie concert in Berlin west.
You and me / You and I would be riotous together if we shared the power, you give up some
of yours and I share with you mine.
We would be a match made in the heavens.
What do you say to that?
You have to answer quickly, as we have no longer any time left …
left..
Left…
did you see that?
Remaining?
Are you still with me?
B: I am always with you.
I find it quite pleasant to pass from one atmosphere to another through crossing a border.
We need to put an end to the idea of a border that defends and prevents. Borders must be
permeable; they must not be weapons against migration or immigration.
A: Then share with me your power. And I will share with you my heart.
Relation and difference link entities that need each other’s energy to exist in beauty and !!
freedom.
THEY ENTWINE / EMBRACE

B: People talk of the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt the economy of Europe. But they don’t ! !
mention the African Plan, which enabled Hitler’s hordes at a time when their economies !!
were under siege, their stability threatened.
Who saved Europe? It was Africa.
There is very little talk about that. There is so little talk that we can’t become accomplices
ourselves,
of this ungrateful silence.
What’s more, the popular masses of Europe are not opposed to the popular masses of ! !
Africa. Those who want to exploit Africa are the same ones as those who exploit Europe.
We have a common enemy.
We can’t accept their morals.
We can’t accept their taking to us about dignity.
We can’t accept their talking to us about merits of those who pay and about a loss of
confidence in those who don’t pay. On the contrary, we must explain that it’s normal these
days to favour the view that the richest people are the biggest thieves.
A poor man who steals commits no more than larceny, a petty crime, just to survive, out of
necessity. The rich are the ones who rob the tax revenue and customs duties. They are the
ones who exploit the people.
PAUSE
A: … the slave who is not able to take change of his own revolt deserves no pity for his lot.
Freedom should not only be won through struggle, and we call on all our sisters of all races
to go on the offensive and conquer for their rights!
