Issue 172 - April 12, 2020 | | Question to Sri Madhusudan:
Swami had earlier said that by 2022 many changes will happen. Now that Swami has said that He will continue for 10 more years in the subtle form through you, has anything changed in the original plan of sudden changes that are to happen in the next three years?
Here is what swami said:
The changes begin now and when they begin they might be too much to take. But after sometime, I guess people will get used to these changes and they will become the 'new normal'. They won't realize that the changes are happening though they would be happening all the time. But when they begin, probably, it will hit you in your face. Therefore you will think there is too much of change happening all of a sudden. But these changes will continue and the last change Swami said is Man becoming Divine. Probably, the ephemerality of this whole world, the flimsy support system that we depend on, will all start failing us. And that is the time we will start looking inwards. Anything that begins new seems like too much to take in. But as we start living with those changes, they become normal. Perhaps, it begins with the three year fast changes as Swami has told. And they will continue for a long time, it is just that we would have got used to these changes and we won't feel the pinch of it because we have recalibrated or readjusted ourselves to the new world. Swami has not clearly or separately said anything other than what He has already spoken earlier. But today, Swami was particularly speaking in terms of Prema Sai when He said that in the next five decades, every other person will be Divine. Every other person will be a realized being. And He said that is the age, Golden age, when everybody would be reveling in their own divinity and He said it does not mean that the carpenters or the sweepers or doctors and engineers will disappear and only beard fashioning ascetics will inhabit the planet. He said they will be just ordinary people but each would be a Brahma Jnani. They will continue to do their cooking, cleaning and housekeeping but that will be only external. Deep inside; they all would be totally installed in that belief, in that experience of their own divinity. Like King Janaka who would rule the kingdom by the day and be a Brahma Jnani by the night! He would do the work only as a duty to God. At the end of the day, totally detached, unperturbed by whatever happens. That is Prema Sai's Mission, | | In times of COVID–19 lockdown, many families have lost their means of livelihood.
