Sudhakar ran away from the police, crossed the river and reached the Babaji, whom he had often seen sitting under a tree and meditating. At his Ashram he was cared and cured. Their relationship grew. Still Sudhakar kept on asking ‘Where to go from here? And what to do next?.......’
“Well you don’t have to go anywhere. This is your Ashram Gurukul, your own home… The Lord of light and love has chosen you for a great mission. You are called to be a prophet of His peace on earth. You have a much greater revolution to lead, an Integral Revolution for a culture of peace in the world. I am appointed by the Lord of Light and love to guide you and help you in your mission.” The Baba said.
Sudhakar was surprised.
“There are two kinds of revolutions my son; the one you have been leading and the other that I have been leading,” the Baba told Sudhakar. He just looked at Baba waiting for him to continue.
“You promote a revolution of violence and bloodshed. I promote a revolution of love and peace.” The Baba continued.
“Violence and bloodshed cannot help us to achieve anything worthwhile in our lives or in this world. They will only bring more violence and bloodshed. A tooth for a tooth make all toothless. From the ashes of the First World war rose up the fire of the Second World War. Look at the history of Communism in the world. Just in two countries alone, USSR and China, they had to kill more than 10 crores of people to establish a short lived glory of the communist utopia…. But today USSR, the one time citadel of the communist utopia on earth is no more in the world map. Marxism, Leninism, Maoism and your Naxalism are all dead ideologies that need to be dumped into the history, my son.” There is no life in Naxalism. It is an ideology of the graveyard. It can survive only through bloodshed…… and only where there is hatred and hypocrisy, my son.”
The Baba said, and got up from his seat of meditation. He then slowly walked towards the river. Sudhakar kept looking at the Baba.
