Concerning the social situation, Jung wrote, "It is unfortunately only too clear that if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of redemption."\n\u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da: The basis of change is the individual. Now there are a few individuals initiated into K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness, and if a large percentage can thus become invigorated, the face of the world will change. There is no doubt of this. \u2022\u2022\u2022 \u201cDialectic Spiritualism: Vedic Views on Western Philosophy\u201d, now published as \u201cBeyond Illusion & Doubt\u201d, is a compilation of conversations with Srila Prabhupada comparing the conclusions of Vedic wisdom with those of Western philosophers, such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, and many others. Srila Prabhupada gives each credit for their sincerity, but after all, to err is human, human life is short, and there's only so much that even the greatest philosopher can know. It's possible to know something about Ultimate Reality by intellectual endeavor, but for perfect and complete knowledge, one must approach the source \u2022\u2022\u2022 find the book links here: sravanamdiaries.com/dialectic-spiritualism/
