The fight against corruption has to start within you, as integrity is an inequality.

When we say corruption, most tend to think in terms of a government official, a clerk asking for money to do his duty.

Or a politician, or a policeman, or that kind of stuff.

We have to look at corruption and integrity in a completely different way if you want your life to be on absolutely stable foundations.

Well, to take something very controversial, well, religion is corruption.

Not because of something somebody misuses in the religious process.

That is also there, but fundamentally, if you claim to know something that you do not know, that's corruption.

Do not look at corruption in terms of your transactions with other people.

Look at corruption as an internal process.

That you are insincere within yourself, that's corruption.

You are not absolutely straight with yourself.

That's corruption.

How you transact in the world has too many ingredients to make a judgment as to what is corruption and what is not.

But within you, corruption is simply being something other than what you yourself see as.

What we do not know, we must be able to say we do not know.

Between right hand and left hand, one is favored, not judiciously seeing which is better to act,

but one is superior to the other.

Between a male child and a female child, one is superior to the other.

This is all corruption.

Between one color of the skin to another, there is superiority and inferiority.

This is corruption. So like this, corruption is very deep-rooted within oneself.

It takes a certain amount of intense focused work to get rid of this within yourself.
