Therefore, my spiritual, infinite state remains unaffected, even if I come down to human level.
The present world chaos is the beginning of a spiritual manifestation. For instance, if a man develops a cataract in his eye, it curtains his vision, obstructing things and he cannot see properly. The only remedy is to remove the curtain, which means an operation on the cataract by an eye surgeon. But before the doctor operates he allows the cataract to ripen.
Similarly, the present condition of the world is due to mankind being steeped and drowned in materialism, indulging in self-interest and greed, which has drawn a curtain before the eye, obstructing spiritual vision and development. It has worsened to the point of creating chaos all over the world which is a clear indication of the cataract being quite ripe for surgery.
This is what's happening in the world today. When the operation is performed, the diseases of ignorance, greed and lust will all be removed and the vision of the world will once again be restored to see things from a spiritual perspective as they are meant to be. The doctor is ready to operate; he waits only for the "cataract" to ripen!
India is a land of spirituality and spirituality means peace, love and brotherhood. Then how could the world expect to receive this message from India when Indians fight among themselves over childish questions? The dissension between Mohammedans and Hindus, the friction between the Brahmins and the Untouchables all indicate and imply that India is a land of dissension and divisions, controlled by the monster of caste, creed and class! The real Swaraj [self-rule] is the Swaraj of the Soul. When spiritual freedom is gained, moral, mental and material "self-rajas" automatically follow.
So let India rise above these petty questions, [put them] right, imparting spirituality to the confused, tormented and ignorant world.
Saints, Masters, spiritual Perfect Souls always help humanity through their infinite love, and their task could be rendered easier by the cooperation of the masses to act according to their teachings.
The next morning, Saturday, 21 November 1936, Turner, the Associated Press reporter, came again to interview Baba in his cabin at 9:00 A.M. He wanted to ask about the war but before he could do so, Baba directed Chanji to read out a list of specific points which Baba had just dictated from his board. Turner was greatly impressed; certain questions he wanted to ask had just been answered.
