⁣Lee Kuan Yew is widely regarded as the founding father of modern Singapore. As Prime Minister for 31years from 1959 to 1990, he led Singapore to independence and transformed the economy from the third world to first. In giving his approval for the publication of this video, Mr Lee urged that newcomers to meditation ‘must believe in it and they must practise it, even though they do not succeed at the early stages.

He's like an ancient shaman by this point in time. But still thinking and analyzing the world at large. I've just really learned about his story the last decade or so, although I heard him mentioned way back in the day. Legendary leader.

Singapore was so fortunate to have this man lead them for so long. One of the very rare men not to be corrupted by power.

[@winsonleow9660]

Except it seems the more capable ones like Goh Keng Swee & George Yeo (Natural born leader) were “sent overseas” to China.

[@hoonhwang4778]

He seems not particularly liking the word "spiritual" but clearly defines true self. Considering the word "spirituality" being sold so cheap these days, I don't blame him at all.🤲

Amazing that despite his advancing age, LKY is still as sharp as ever.

😊🙏 So Enlightening to know that , the True Teachings of True Good Angels , Good Gods , Goddesses & Enlightened Beings are Teachings of Spirituality of Practicing the Universal Humility & Empathy of Loving Kindness & Compassion with Wisdom & Forgiveness to accumulate enough Good Merits & Wisdom to Realised The Path to Liberate One's Consciousness from the entanglements of ignorance , holding onto wrong views , false ego , arrogance , hatre & evilness that tied our consciousness in these loops of Birth , Ageing , Sickness & Death in these 6 Realms of Sufferings ... Hence Spirituality is the Real Teachings & not man edited & much abused & exploited religions that caused so much world conflicts & wars & sufferings! ... 🙏🕯🌷🌿🌏✌💜🕊

The bible says "For all have sin n fall short of the glory of God". ..."for none is righteous,....". There is nothing within our capability be it thru trying to live a perfect life or observe many religious rituals, that will enable us to get right with God. God has provided the way thru Jesus n its up to us to accept him or reject him.

Respect. The Singapore people were lucky to have Lee Kuan Yew.

[@AleksiIvanov-kz5yb]

Foreigners is even more lucky to have his son betray the well being of SG local citizens in order for foreigners to benefit.

Singapore became developed not because of him.

[@garyspence2128]

It was just an accident, or something in the water?? You don't have to admire him to understand that he was the key person, who appeared at the right time.

[@infj5196]

@@garyspence2128 Singapore became developed NOT because of him. It was his propaganda to portray himself as a hero.

Spirit, soul ( is your true self ), and body ( corrupted flesh).

The body can also be the vehicle of enlightenment or field of the dharmadhātu in this earth realm.

[@AlexZeBeast]

Damn, our boy was OLD here. Holy crap.

[@Strontyum]

But still sharp, perceptive, and articulate.

[@MikeeTeoo]

The experience LKY was describing is not spiritual and he is right again. Once we give it a label it is no longer what it is. It was there all the time waiting for us to discover.

[@go6756]

The kingdom of God is within you

[@nicholasgoh3526]

The priest is right and Mr Lee must have been reading on the subject to come to this realisation although he said he didn’t differentiate between spirituality and religion.

[@ongtayjoojames-ow1bs]

Only now then he started to realised...!!! Ooops...!!! Too late...!!!🙄😬🤨

[@sivabalan5127]

​@ongtayjoojames-ow1bs It is never too late. Who knows, in his next birth, LKY might become a monk or a sanyasin. His life purpose for Singapore is over. Now it is time for him to vigorously enter into the path of a renunciant in his next incarnation. We all have to start somewhere...

Meditation will not gain salvation. Believing in Christ is the answer.

[@kramalin]

Believe is just that you concretised your assumption. Believing something to be truth is not the same as knowing the truth. Having experiential knowledge is what meditation leads you to. It turns you to be a person with universal consciousness, compassionate to all living things. You will naturally drop your longing for animal flesh for your taste bud enjoyment. You help without expectation as you realise all is one.

Sad to see such a strong intelligent insightful man deteriorate like this at his final chapter in life.

[@infj5196]

Punishment from God due to his oppression

[@AA-lb1sz]

Everyone has to go through this path. There's nothing to be sad about. It will be more sad if he think he can live forever

[@garyspence2128]

We all have to follow that path, brother. It's the great equalizer...embrace it.

[@benjaminng1112]

This is not punishment. All things breaks down with age. Even yr car houses, anything material deteriorate with age

[@benjaminng1112]

Don't use God to misrepresent at anything. Look at positivity. Why don't you say instead God blessed him with a sharp mind despite his advance age. His hardware may be worn, but software was running fine.
