involution
An old man has no future, only past. The old man looks backwards, not forwards. In the future there is only darkness and death, in the past are all his golden memories; he lives in the past. The same is true about countries. A country like India or China has such a long past -- they live in the past. India thinks it has seen its golden age.
You will not believe that in India the theory of evolution is not acceptable. India has another theory: the theory of involution. Things are not going, growing, towards better states, evolving -- no. Things are falling down -- involution.
India has the idea that the best age was thousands of years ago; they call it the "age of truth." Then the second stage came, the fall started. They call it simply "the age of three legs." The reason is that the first age they compare to a table with four legs -- completely balanced, with no possibility of falling. The second stage has lost one leg, so it is a tripod with three legs, treta -- still not too bad, because even with three legs a tripod has a certain balance. The third stage they call dwapar -- the age of two legs. Now things are becoming dangerous. A table with two legs -- it is not a bicycle, it is bound to fall. The bicycle will also fall unless you go on riding it so that it has no chance to fall. Slow down and it starts wavering; stop and it falls. But a table is not a bicycle, so it is bound to fall. The fall is inevitable. The fourth stage has only one leg. They call it "the age of darkness" -- kaliyuga. We are living in the age of darkness.
Now, a country which thinks in such terms cannot accept evolution. It has happened -- now there is no future. The golden age has come and gone; now there is only darkness and death.
America is just like a child. Three hundred years compared to ninety thousand years -- it is just a small child. It has its eyes open, ready to evolve, to grow. It has no past to be bothered about.
