to just let them ride through? What monstrous ego! But no, these people would beat the rider to the point of killing him!
How can you call these people civilized? If you have a piece of pure gold and imitation gold, the imitation gold does not have any of the properties of pure gold, so of what value is it? The one born on this land of India has infinite inner energies, but that energy has been scattered and wasted away. Only the Gnani Purush can turn that energy around and make it useful again. How did this energy come to be wasted? 'This man is working towards an I.A.S. (coveted rank of Indian Administrative Service) degree, so I will do the same. This is how the energy is dissipated, in trying to imitate others. Just for a maintenance job, tremendous energy has been lost and that too through creating tremendous kashaya. Whatever wealth of inner energies one has is completely depleted when one tries to imitate others. Do not take away from the balance of inner happiness and harmony. But people waste away this balance of inner happiness indiscriminately in trying to imitate others, so how can any happiness remain? What is better? Living a life of imitation or a life of authenticity? Children too have learnt to imitate everything Indians should not imitate anyone; on the contrary others should imitate them. But alas, our people started to imitate even the few hippies that came to visit India. Despite this, India is headed towards improvement
Girls today have a lot of moha (illusionary attachment). One only has to look at them to see their moha and the state of their illusion. But these very ladies will give birth to a very worthy generation
Questioner : What is the reason for that Dada?
Dadashri : The contemptuous attitude and the kashaya that lead to scorn and contempt for everything and everyone have diminished in them so it will no longer surface. Once contempt goes, it brings a person down to normality. Our
people had made tremendous progress but contempt brought them down; they had become useless as human beings because of contempt. Now the contempt is no longer there and so they have begun to become useful again.
They abused their intellect, using it for deceit and contempt. They did not have Gnan and they misused their intellect. How did their intellect increase? They drank the Mahavir Brain Tonic, Krishna Brain Tonic. 'They would not kill insects, they practiced ahimsa and that increased the intellect. While preserving the insects, they started to attack (deceive) people through increased intellect (buddhi).
But now India is headed towards a new dawn. The entire social culture is under the influence of the time of annihilation The social culture that has become deviant and gone against nature's laws (vikrut) is going to meet with its doom. Our race was highly cultured (sanskrut) and we could have still made do had it deteriorated to being an ordinary culture (prakrut), but it is unacceptable when it goes against nature (vikrut). But what is the benefit of this destruction? The benefit is that all deviant characteristics and behavior will be washed out and everything will start anew. Everything will be new and people will find the kind of peace that had prevailed during the time of Lord Mahavir. And the very generation, which we call crazy today with their long hair, will be called good. The youngsters that we called 'stupid-hippies' today will be the very people who will become wise and those who get haircuts are the ones who belong in the mental hospital!
The so-called 'long-haired louts' are the ones who have defined the separation between those who belong in a mental hospital and those who belong outside it. The generation of today, by simply growing their hair long has brought out in the open, those who get their haircut are the ones who belong in the mental hospital and we belong outside it. India is not going to suffer any losses - this is the blessing of the Gnani Purush.
