This has happen in my case also. If Gurudev had not
inspired and metamorphosed me, I would have also been following the profession
of Pandit (priest) or some other activity like other members of my family and
would not have attained the present position. Persons, who are geniuses in
their fields, are needed to facilitate the change of the era. Learned people
are needed, who may by their logic, facts and figures, provide a new way of
thinking to the people. Artists are needed who may inspire people to imbibe te
teachings and lives of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Meera, Soor, Kabir. Affluent
persons are needed who may, instead of squandering away their money in
luxurious living, give away their all to fulfill the noble aims of the Time
Spirit. Statesmen are needed who may, like Gandhi, Rousseau, Karl Marx; Lenin
etc. guide people to follow new, revolutionary ways of ensuring equality,
fraternity and freedom for all. What to speak of illumined should, saints,
sages, savants and seers? They have totally transformed persons who came in
their contact, just as a Paras stone, by a simple touch, converts iron into
gold.
My Vibbhadras will do all this. I have also done the
same. I have radically changed the thoughts and activities of millions of
people and prepared them like Satyagrah of Gandhi, Bhudanis of Vinoba,
Parivrajaks of Buddha, to sacrifice everything for the sake of a noble cause.
The army of Pragya-Putras is playing the role of monkeys of Hanuman. When
miracles have been played by my direct physical activities there is no reason
why these Virbhadras, who are part and parcel of my soul, will not be able to
persuade and inspire innumerable persons to turn towards nobility and sublimity
of soul.
It will be necessary in the near future to eradicate
several evil tendencies. For this, persons like Arjun will be needed who may
defeat and decimate Aksouhini (well-equipped) army of the Kauravas. Hanumans
will be needed who may by setting fire to their tails to burn Lanka, the
fortress of Evil, and turn it to ashes. Such changes are possible by changing
the inner consciousness of human beings. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington
of America were born in very ordinary families but they changed the course of
their lives and became the presidents of America.
Leaving apart vicious persons who apply their
intellect in acts like theft, dacoit, cheating etc. persons full of noble
emotions and sentiments can do a lot in changing the era by their heroic
efforts, courage and industriousness. Swami Dayananda, Sharddhananda, Ramteerth
etc. were capable of changing the course of life of innumerable persons.
