To achieve what has to be achieved
People ask me, 'Why are you building temples?' Why are you building ashrams?' I am building ashrams and temples so that some more people like you can come and learn this science, that's all. This is a pure laboratory. What I am doing is a pure laboratory, so that many more people like you can come and learn this science - this science of Conscious Experience. If you have one glimpse of Conscious Experience in your life, what ever has to be achieved is achieved.
