Did you invent the mobile phone? Look at your brain and your intellect. Do you even deserve to hold the mobile phone in your palm? Look at how the common man lives: he is making use of cutting-edge technology, sometimes bleeding-edge technology, without knowing half a thing about technology.

We are just beneficiaries of a very long accumulative process; otherwise, the animals are better than most of us. Our religion comes from a few illuminated beings. Our science and technology, our literature, our arts, all of this comes from a few illuminated beings. Take those few beings away, and who are we? You will be left neither with language, nor with clothes, no spectacles, no technology, no car, no washing machine, no fridge.
