  Is it possible to end the thousand yesterdays? - 13 November 1968 
  • Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another 
  – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but 
  also a different quality of affection, love. 
  • What is the function of a religious mind? 
  • Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, 
  the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. 
  • Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? 
  • What is the content of the unconscious? It is the racial residue, the traditional, 
  the family, the personal. It is as trivial as the conscious mind. 
  • Q: It seems to me that the ‘I’, the ego only exists in relation to other things. 
  Could you comment on this? 
  • The impossible becomes possible only when you discard the impossibility of it. 
  To find out anything you must go beyond the impossible. 
  • Q: What do you mean by meditation? 
  • There is no ‘how’.

  Rise of Islam in the Balkans...

  In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire. 
  In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. In fact, its decline would be brought about not just because of military setbacks and government corruption, but also because of nationalist uprisings among its multiethnic territories. The fact that the other existing multicultural empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also did not survive World War I makes clear just how hard governing such a vast expanse of land can be. The Ottoman Empire’s inability to create a shared identity, a weak central state, and growing inner dissensions were some of the main factors explaining its long demise. 
  Of course, before that demise, the Ottomans brought plenty of their own cultural influence to the lands they reached, and nowhere is that more evident than in the spread of Islam. While Ottoman conflicts with European powers were often portrayed as religious conflicts, the fact is that the Ottomans managed to bring Islam with them into parts of Europe, especially the Balkans, and Islam took hold in various regions, adding even more demographic complexity to a place that already had no shortage of it.
