I recalled that in the past when the princess
(daughter of the king of Kashi) shed tears and asked, "Who will revive the
Vedas?" Kumaril Bhatt appeared and said, "Please do not lament so
long as Kumaril is alive on earth." Kumaril Bhatt achieved what he
undertook to do. But today there is no Brahmana, no saint and a Risi is almost it out of question. Only hypocrites are seen
screaming everywhere like wolves disguised as lambs. Such ideas filled my mind
for the whole day after I had returned to my cave. Gurudev was reading my mind.
He too was unhappy like me. Gurudev said" Then do one thing. Let us again
go to meet all the Risis. Tell them:"If you so direct, I may sow the seeds
but you will have to do manuring and watering so that the crop my grow. At
least by making such an offer you will feel much relieved.' Also ask them how
to make a beginning and what will be its outline. Also tell them, 'I will
definitely do something. If all of you are kind enough to shower your grace,
there is bound to be greenery in this deserted graveyard'.
On Gurudev's command I could even say that
irrespective of the consequences I was prepared to jump into fire. Gurudev
could read my mind. This time, I saw his face beaming with joy like Brahma
-kamal. Both of us were Quiet but happy. We decided to again meet all the Riis
whom we had met last night. When they saw us again, one of them expressed
satisfaction as well amazement.
I stood spellbound, with folded hands and head bowed
down before them. Gurudev conveyed my aspiration, resolve and zeal to them
indirectly in paravani and said, "He does not lack life-transforming
energy. He will do whatever he promises to do. Kindly indicate how the seeds of
the tasks left unfinished by you are to be shown. if maturing, watering etc. is
done by us, his efforts will not be in
vain."
Thereafter, Gurudev invited them all to attend, in
astral bodies, the purnahuti of sahastra-kundi Gayatri Yagya which was to be
performed at Mathura on the completion of Gayatri Mahapurascaranas in the year
1958 and pointing towards me said,
"He is a monkey but Hanuman, a bear but Jamvant, a vulture but
Jatayu. Kindly direct Him and rest assured that what has been left unfinished
will be completed and the sapling will grow up into a huge tree." He
further said, "Why should we be disappointed? Why should we not rely on
him when he had discharged with great devotion responsibilities which were
entrusted to him during his past births?"
This talk was going on with one of the Risis but
hardly did it take a moment for this invitation to reach them all and they
gathered together. Disappointment disappeared, hope was revived, and future
program was chalked out. It was resolved that seedlings of divine tasks that
the Risis had been doing be sown again in a field, a nursery of fragrant
flowers of divine aim and purposes be nurtured and then transplanted all over
the globe, so that the world blooms gain with divine fragrance.
