In the world of truth, democracy is not the deciding factor. Truth is not decided by votes; otherwise truth would never win, if it were to be decided by votes.
Truth happens to single individuals, rare individuals. They are always alone. Jesus was alone. Buddha was alone. Only very few people followed them. The mob, the crowd remained against them because whatsoever they were saying was not possible for the mobs to understand. Even to have a glimpse of it was impossible.
Somebody was arguing with George Bernard Shaw – a Christian – and he was saying, “Christianity must be right because, look, one fourth of humanity believes in Christianity. How can it be wrong – so many people believe in it?” And do you know what Bernard Shaw said? He said, “How can it be right if so many people believe in it?” And he has a point there: how can it be right if so many people believe in it?
