Mataji added: ‘God is love….Those who love, live in God…. Divine love is always forgiving, enduring and self-sacrificing.… Sadguru Jesus Christ is the best-known example and greatest teacher of such a divine love in human history. That is why we refer to him as ‘Son of God’…...
‘We are also sons and daughters of God. Hence, we the sons and daughters of God should be men and women of such divine love. We should strive to be perfect in love, just as God ‘our Heavenly Father’ is perfect ….
‘There is so much poverty and hunger in India, and also in the present world. This is not due to scarcity of food and resources, but because of human selfishness and greed…..
‘More than 80% of the total resources of the world today are being consumed by just 15% of the human population that live in the ‘advanced nations’ of the world…..
‘The resources spent by these so called ‘advanced nations’ on stockpiling weapons of mutual destruction will be more than sufficient to eliminate poverty and hunger from the surface of this earth, my son…..
‘The food grains rotting away in FCI godowns, and the PDS stock of food grains being sold in the black market in India will be sufficient to feed the hungry millions in this country.…
‘Some years ago, the Supreme Court of India had asked the Union Government to distribute some 60,000 crore rupees worth of food grains rotting away in FCI go downs to the hungry millions in the country. The Government could not do it. This is the tragedy of India, our own motherland, my son’.
Mataji then continued: ‘Thinking deeply in this manner, Atma Prakash, my son, we come to the profound realization that the real crises facing India and the world today are not merely economic and political, but they also have deep moral and spiritual dimensions and connotations….
‘And hence, what we urgently need today, my son, is an ‘Integral Revolution’ which must include not only the political and economic dimensions of our collective existence, but also the moral and spiritual aspects of human life as well. This is what our Babaji is teaching us. This is our mission. This was what attracted me to Babaji and made me commit my life to his vision and mission which have today become my own vision and mission as well.…
‘India has been a land of religions. Peace and spirituality have been at the core of her religious quest. Ours is also a land that sought after truth and non-violence incessantly. But religions in India today have lost much of their spiritual vitality and moral power. There is a great deal of corruption and violence in India today....
‘A holistic and ecological worldview has been close to India’s heart. It is still deeply ingrained in the Indian culture… Ours is also a agrarian and rural-based economy. However, we have been following a model of development that has very little relevance to the real India which is rural India. As a result, India is also faced with serious economic, political and ecological crises today…
‘India provides an ideal milieu for an Integral Revolution of the kind that our Babaji is envisaging. The world needs it urgently today, my son. A new Integrated World Order emerging from an integral vision of life and reality and a holistic ecological worldview is an urgent need of the era for the peaceful and happy survival of the human race on planet earth…..
‘I feel my son, that destiny and history beckon Mother India to show the world a way out of the crises facing humanity. This is also her divine mission in the world family of nations….
‘What India urgently needs today is an Integral Revolution to rebuild politics and economics as well as science and technology on the strong foundation of spiritual principles and moral values.…
‘As our Babaji often reminds us, a spiritually awakened, morally regenerated, economically prosperous and politically strong India will be a mother of love and a princess of peace in the world family of nations. Such a great new India will lead humanity into a new era of peace, prosperity and happiness. This is also her destined divine call and mission on earth.….
‘Your own life-mission, Babaji tells me my son, is to awaken Mother India to this her destined role and mission in the world family of nations.’
