One must question deeply whether you are an individual at all. You are the result of your parents. Psychologically, genetically, you have inherited certain conditions. According to religion, you are a separate soul, so your action is individualistic. But is that so? Are you not the result of vast time, great evolution, inherited experiences of thousands of people? Are you not the result of education, information about various subjects, which you use skilfully or not? You are conditioned to be a Christian or Hindu through years of propaganda. So when you begin to inquire seriously whether you are actually an individual, you begin to doubt this whole idea of individuality. Individuality apparently means freedom; that is, freedom of choice. But the choice is to move from one corner of the same field to another corner. This movement from corner to corner you call choice, progress and all the rest of it. That narrow field is your conditioning. All through the world, this pattern exists. So one questions basically if you are an individual at all. You have been told that you are an individual, a separate human being because you have a separate body, a separate name and so on. From the physical, we move into the psychological, which becomes the individual soul. I question all that because your consciousness is more or less similar to the rest of mankind. So you are not an individual.
