You have to be aware who the real criminals are. The problem is that those criminals are thought to be great leaders, sages, saints, mahatmas. So I have to expose all these people because they are the causes. For example, it is easier to understand that perhaps politicians are the causes of many problems: wars, murders, massacres, burning people. It is even more difficult when it comes to religious leaders, because nobody has raised his hand against them. they have remained respectable for centuries, and as time goes on their respectability goes on growing. The most difficult job for me is to make you aware that these people knowingly or unknowingly, that does not matter have created this world.
