The Baba has been teaching Atma Prakash various kinds of meditations for peace.
After the meditation session was over on that day, Atma Prakash requested his guruji to speak to him about the kind of sovereign spiritual persons required for a culture of peace in the world.

The Baba began: ‘We have the traditional concept of an ‘Avatar’, a divine incarnation appearing on earth to re-establish righteousness. We have earlier defined such a divine incarnation in terms of a great and powerful ‘sovereign spiritual person’…
‘The third millennium will need, not just one such great and powerful sovereign spiritual person, but a communion, a Sangha, of such great and powerful sovereign spiritual persons to provide the necessary enlightened leadership to a great moral and spiritual revolution…..
‘You have been reading the books of Dr. Sarveppalli Radhkrishnan, the late Philosopher-President of our country. He was an enlightened scholar both in philosophy and religion. After his deep study of religions, he was convinced that the ‘Avatar’ for the ‘Kali Yuga’ will not be a single individual, but a ‘Sangha’; a communion of great and powerful sovereign spiritual persons….
‘The present ‘Yuga’ which also includes the third Millennium, is supposed to be the ‘Kali Yuga’ when forces of evil are all-powerful and all-pervasive. You can refer to his small book titled ‘Kalki’ for a deeper understanding of his ideas. It is in our library…
‘A leader without a cadre of committed workers will not be effective in any great mission. Hence, these great and powerful sovereign spiritual persons will need a large number of less or equally powerful sovereign spiritual persons committed to the mission to work with them as their partners-in-mission….
‘In the absence of one very great and powerful sovereign spiritual person, we will need a Sangha of a larger number of ordinary sovereign spiritual persons like us….”
Atma Prakash looked at Baba questioningly.
‘Revered guruji, what will be the qualities and characteristics of the sovereign spiritual persons to become partners-in-mission with this ‘Sangha’ of great and powerful sovereign spiritual persons in the third millennium?’ … He asked the Baba.
The Baba was prompt in response: ‘Their thoughts, words and deeds will have to be in harmony. They will have to be at peace with themselves, with others and with the world of nature. They will have to be integrated persons in whom the physical, the mental, the intellectual and the spiritual dimensions of their personalities will be integrated; in whom the rational and the intuitive, and the feminine and the masculine, will make an integrated whole; and in whom divine love shall be the guiding force instead of human laws and religious faith….
‘Above all, they will ever be in communion with the Supreme Spirit, the one true God; and will be free, fearless, impartial, and selfless….’.
