"I want to change the world, and do something valuable and beautiful. I want people to remember me before I'm dead, and then more afterwards."

Zen balance in life

According to Russell Brand, spiritualism has always been thought of as something private. This is where the problem lies. Spiritualism should be used to transform societies throughout the world. People spend hours connecting with their inner self and then go about their business as if nothing happened. This is quite wrong and unsustainable. If someone takes the time to meditate, that person will most likely see the truth. This truth should then be shared with the rest of the world. If people who meditate did more for the world, they would become the change they already know. Thus, Russell Brand is saying meditation is a powerful tool for social transformation. Learning how to meditate is not enough; one must learn to use it to see the change they want.sustainable way,"
