importance because he thinks you are not what you pretend to be. India - A center of the world in 2005
Why has India become a mental hospital? It is because the land and people of the Sanskrit language have been taught nothing but vikrut; meaning that which is deformed and broken. It would be acceptable for these people to have something ordinary or common, but they cannot be made vikrut. Because their language has turned vikrut, it has created a mental hospital. Nevertheless all these 'mental patients' in the hospital will give birth to children who will be wise; truly wise. So it is fine for these mental ones to live. Their children will have wisdom; the children may grow long hair and they may do strange things but ultimately their wisdom will shine.

Around about the year 2005, India will become a center for the world. People from all over the world will come to learn from the children of these mental people as to how to live life. They will come to ask these children how and what they should eat and what they should study. What has been the benefit of people becoming mental? The answer to that is that whatever development there was previously, has now been abolished, it has been 'washed out', and everything has become good, this change is positive. The sanskar of the past had rotted away and there was nothing left.
Contempt has invited degradation
Questioner: When I look at my mother and my granddaughter, I see such a great difference between the two. The generation of today has become ruined.
Dadashri : And during the time of your grandfather, what was your grandfather saying about you?
Questioner: He used to say the same thing as I just did. Dadashri: You bring home a nice looking squash. Now,

since it is meant to be cooked, will you not have to cut it? You cannot say don't cut it because it looks too good to eat. If you want to cook it you will have to let go of its 'good looks'. India currently is developing, as it has never done before. Mostly everyone's conduct has degraded and consequently only about two or five percent of people have conduct that has any worth. Otherwise everyone is consumed with doubts, uncertainty, bickering and contempt. They are contemptuous towards the lower cast people, towards other people, towards their own family. There is contempt towards disciples who appear to fall short in their prescribed conduct; everywhere you look, there is contempt. This land had become spoiled. The improvement you see in the current generation is helping to reduce the uncivilized qualities of the earlier generation. Whatever rudeness they had has diminished and they have begun to develop a different kind of rudeness. People of the past did not like this. In the days gone by there was nothing but contempt. The condition of India had become very unruly and uncivilized; this is because people had not thought things through. This state of India could not be called devout or religious. The entire lot was not looked after or nurtured properly and hence the chaos. The current generation is now being nurtured and cared for.

The current generation may appear 'this way' but really they are in the process of being cultured. This is always the case; the pendulum always swings too far before a reform. Nowadays if children go out and enjoy themselves, parents do not ostracize them, as did the parents of the past. Today the parents will not have too much aversion towards their children dining out in restaurants and enjoying themselves outside the home. But in the past they used to react with intense disgust and scorn. 'We' ask you what problems you have with restaurants that you behave in this manner. What kind of people are these? Had the Lord said for people to become depressed in this manner? What are the teachings of the vitarag Lord? The Lord has said that
