Do not use intellect to gauge nature
The world is the puzzle itself. It has become puzzled on its own. So how is anyone going to assess it? People keep trying to measure and evaluate this puzzle. They make conclusions that are based on the population of the world in 1974, in the year 2000 it will be so much. You foolish people! If a couple had one child the first year and another one in their third year, are they going to have thirty to forty kids by the time they become eighty years old? How can one make such deductions? Let go of these foolish notions. Don't try to make any assessment about the population or about human growth. It is sheer foolishness to do this. If in the year 2000 this was the population, by the year 3000 it will be this much etc. If that is the case then tell me what the population was 5000 years ago! If you know the arithmetic of such calculation, then tell me what the population was 5000 years ago. Then they'll say, "We don't know." What nonsense! What kind of a man are you? You don't even know how to behave as a husband! Why don't you stop reproducing if you are so concerned about the population? You foolish people! What audacity of trying to predict population growth; it will be this much in 1980, this much in 1990 and this much in 2000. And yet there is no one to lock up these people! On the contrary, the government accepts their theories. Anyone who talks such nonsense should be locked up. Why must they talk this way? It ruins the public.
India will not fall into ruins. How can a land where there is a presence of a sant purush, a sat purush and a Gnani Purush, fall into ruins? Wherever there is a presence of these three, nothing will spoil. On the contrary whatever has deteriorated will begin to improve. India had deteriorated to terrifying limits. Nowhere else in the world did a country deteriorate to the extent that India has. Vicious and wicked conduct was accepted as a standard of right conduct. They 'exported the right conduct! This export is now being re-imported. And it is all
because of those who are growing their hair long (the new generation).
This whole world has become a mental hospital and hence it is natural that the generation of today is being called mad. The entire hospital is full of mental people and that is why the Gnani manifested. The Gnani Purush is born in this world (mental hospital), so his body too can be considered mental, can it not? Nevertheless a change is coming our way.
By the year 2005 India will become the leading center of the world. We still have 31 years to go, by that time these longhaired youngsters will be 55-60 years old. At that time they will no longer have this state of madness' in them. They will have cut their hair short. All their madness will no longer remain. One day while sitting in a car behind a young man with long hair, 'We asked him, "Son why have you grown your hair so long that it flies back and disrupts those sitting behind you?" Really his long hair did not bother 'us' but 'we' just happened to comment on it casually. That young man right away went and got a hair cut, he came to 'us' and did namaskar to 'us' and told 'us' that he will not grow his hair long again.
This very generation will one day become wise and cut their hair and there will be an end to all their madness. Whereas, these so-called 'wise ones' who walk around with short hair are the ones who believe their depraved conduct is the standard of good conduct. They are the ones who are mental. They quarrel whole daylong. They have countless disagreements even when there are only three people in the family. Division of Opinions (matbhed), Minds (munbhed)
and Bodies (tanbhed) Dadashri : Do you like the separation that arises due to differences of opinions (matbhed)? How does it make you feel?
Questioner : Yes, it makes me worry.
