Competition versus Co-operation
Today we will be focusing on “Competition versus Co-operation.” In the July/August 2005 double issue of Share International magazine the Master points out in His article that greed and competition are the main cause of our problems and that sharing and co-operation are the answer. His article is titled “The end of darkness” and begins:

Nowhere is division and disharmony more prevalent than on Planet Earth. No other planet of our system is so immersed in competition, so ignorant of the benefits of co-operation. Nowhere else is seen the results of such folly: anxiety, illness of all kinds; wealth and poverty side by side, insecurity and war. Why should this be so? Why should the inhabitants of this most richly fertile world quarrel so over its ownership?

To some extent the answer lies in the very richness of Earth’s resources. Earth is the most densely material of worlds and for long ages men have been in thrall to its material wealth, and have fought and competed for its control. This has brought the human kingdom (and with it the animal) to the verge of destruction. With the nuclear bomb man has brought his very existence into jeopardy.

It is this fact above all which has prompted Maitreya’s decision to return with His group to the everyday world, at least a thousand years ahead of the planned date. His aim is to coax men back from the brink, to show them how dangerous and destructive is their lust for power, their greed and competition.
