If we truly possessed the consciousness to realize that we are all part of the same essence—that we are essentially one—we simply wouldn't be capable of inflicting such harm upon ourselves.
In this physical dimension we call "the world," and within the minds of those focused solely on material things, there will always be war and killing. Most of humanity is essentially asleep. They are unconscious of the question, "Who am I?" Of course, a truly conscious being wouldn't kill. It starts with toxic thoughts and leads to harmful actions. Then they wouldn't harm anyone else. Unconsciousness means everything is viewed through the lens of the ego—centered entirely on "me" and "mine." This ego-driven consciousness creates a programmed person. There isn't a soul in the body anymore; there are just programs running. In this sense, today's avatars have a specific purpose: to awaken people to true human values. That is Mission Rama in Putaparti. Human values should be taught like basic education in school, and even for adults. Most of humanity holds distorted values because no standard education provides this actual wisdom. Everything we see wrong in society is an example of these twisted values. For instance, if you try to stop immorality, corruption, or crime, you might end up jailed or labeled the criminal just because you pointed out the truth instead of the wrongdoing. Many people don't even realize that killing isn't human. They don't understand that lying or even smoking harms both themselves and everyone else. When you point these things out, they just repeat, "I know, I know." But saying the words means nothing. It's just a programmed repetition. When you truly know something is a truth or a human value, you act on it. This is why Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." A man can look like a good, peaceful person, a model father, a great worker, or a loyal friend, and then he goes to war. Suddenly, a hidden animal wakes up inside him, and he commits atrocities. Later, he falls into depression because those actions haunt him. Where did that originally good man go? He was never really there. He never actually realized what true humanity is.
