  Colonialism brought with it several wars and thousands of deaths. The locals did not want to give up their lands but the colonials were determined to capture the lands and set up their business and extend the boundaries of their nation. One such war was fought among the Pequot and the English colonists whose allies were other Native American tribes. Pequot lost the war to the English. Before the war the Pequot controlled what is today modern Connecticut and Long Island. The Pequot had controlled the lands, trades and the other Indian tribes too. Before the arrival of the English the Dutch were on these lands. The Pequot people had used inter-marriage and diplomacy to gain power in the area along with the Dutch by their side. The other tribes had also wanted to control the fur and wampum trade. The Pequot had made Indian enemies already and when the English arrived on the island these enemies made allies with the English and attacked the Pequot which led to the Pequot War.

  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’.
