Many people were gathered from the University. They sat quietly absorbing the peace and the joyous smiles that Dadaji was sending forth. A professor asked Dadaji, " Would you tell us something of politics and world destiny?"
"Politics and separation of people into different nations, using different names and language have made many out of the One. It is now very difficult for most to recognize that we are all brothers and sisters with the same Father, the only Father. When Dadaji travels about the world, many come and forget they are Indians or Hindu, American or Christian, Chinese or Buddhist. All these labels fall away and they become One in Truth
sharing the same Mahanam, the Name of God residing within All.
"At every level, it is very difficult for someone who is honest, who lives with Truth to be a politician. Politics and government go hand in hand. They live off the people and very few governments have ever really cared for the people's welfare. They talk about freedom, but
classify you by number.
"You cannot move about God's world freely. You must have the government's permission. Government wants to know where you got your money, how much you have, and how you spend it. Then they tax you to finance policies you do not necessarily want to support. At times the government will enlist you to support and go to war to 'defend your country' against other brothers and sisters, who are in another country with another government and are experiencing the same thing.
"Can anyone understand this? So many study history. Universities teach Political Science. The United Nations assembles. It is a farce. All are talking of Peace and preparing for war.
"So you see, there has never been Peace among nations. How is it possible that this will ever be?
"Some persons come and do not call themselves politicians. They come and act as messiahs, preaching political, social, and religious revolution. They preach overthrowing the old for the sake of the new. This also is false. The one who comes in the name of Truth, does not meddle with politics. They simply teach you that in God's Universe, there are cycles of creation, preservation, and destruction. They speak of living in faith in times of plenty and living in faith in times of scarcity.
"It seems the world is not- working. We decide who are the good people and who are
the bad people. However the bad ones think they are the good ones, and the good
ones think the same thing. No good ones, and no bad ones. It is a question of how
and where you look at every situation."
GOD HAS NO ENEMIES.
"We tend to blame the governments of our own and other nations for not running the world properly. You must first look into governing your own life. One and husband make war on each other wife For that matter, one person alone, takes a gun, declares war and shoots himself dead. How many homes do you know of where there is harmony, kindness, and understanding?
"Home has become a battleground where husband and wife make war on each other,
brother fights sister, parents fight children. They usually do not even hear what they are fighting about for their shouts are drowned out by radio, television, stereo, or they are drowned in alcohol or clouded by drugs. This is what we call 'civilized' world today.
"When we find God within, then we will know Peace. When we learn to govern ourselves and live in Truth, in harmony and love, perhaps this can extend to our family, community, nation, and the world.
"You ask, 'Should we pray for Peace?' Pray to whom? God knows everything. The
world is working and fulfilling it's natural destiny, even though you do not agree with it or understand it.
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING. TRUST IN GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND MIND,
AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
"The world is interested in War not in Peace. In the History Departments of Universities, they study Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, and Caeser, not Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, or Ghandi.
"We must finally admit that we are in fact, doing it. We are in fact, making the wars, one way or another. Take responsibility to bring Peace into your own lives and families. This is God. This is Love.
"Those who are frightened by the past, present, or future seem to need either guns or Gurus or both to protect them. These Gurus and their followers need guards and guns to protect their own individual Peace. What about God? They do not know God. They are frauds and cheats. They are the worst kind of scoundrels and contribute more to the
disharmony in the world, than all the politicians put together.
"How many have been murdered, raped, and burned in the name of the Gods? In the name of Allah, Buddha, and Jesus? Untold numbers.
"Do not worry. Do not fear. For this is all destined and if you had the proper eye to see, you could see no killed or killer. You would see only one God, in all God's glory of birth and death. When you feel God in your heart and mind, you will have forgotten how to be afraid.
"We are now coming into a most trying period for the earth. It is an end of an Age. In times of change, things become greatly speeded up and exaggerated. The weak are made weaker, the strong made stronger, the doubtful more doubtful, and the faithful more faithful. Those who have awareness of God ever present with them, will survive and will always have the strength and means to begin again.
Those who are unaware, will perish and are always perishing.
"Name of God, faith in God, will give you the Peace of thinking you are 'saved.'
Actually there is no question of being 'saved.' It is all destiny. We cannot die, only the outer shell changes. This is natural. Which is better, to die quickly of a bullet, or to suffer
deterioration of cancer? How can we judge? We cannot. Let it go. It does not make any difference whether you understand. Most are not capable of understanding.
HAVE BLIND FAITH IN G O D S N A M E.
"There is great threat of nuclear war today. The United States is afraid of Russia, Russia is afraid of the United States. Both are afraid of- China. And, all are afraid of the smaller nations with nuclear capacity. Actually no one government knows. Governments use
different psychology.
"Russia claims to have so much power. They have great shows and parades displaying their might. Actually they only have half as much as they claim. The United States says they do not have enough power, no displays or parades. Actually they have twice as much. China does not say one way or another.
"All want 'Peace' and yet spend untold billions on the eventual destruction of the planet Earth. No one government wants Peace, they all want power.
"This nuclear capability is nothing. When God is ready and sees the earth overrun with persons of low character, then God's 'nuclear' will take place. All God needs do is to shake the Earth for twenty minutes. Floods, earthquakes, tidal waves will cause the population of
the world to be halved in that short period of time. There is no way to a void this, if in fact it is destined.
"Take God's Name. God is always with you. God will always be with you. "This Earth has built up a karma. It too, must be fulfilled. This Earth is action and reaction, cause and effect. It is nature or prakriti. This nature is one of change, so do not despair. What seems
unnatural or disastrous to you is very natural to God. One person in Oregon asked what I thought of the disastrous explosion of Mt. St. Helens. I explained that this was the natural way the Earth breathes, changes its form, and lets off built up pressure. The only disaster was that foolish people chose to build their homes on the side of a known volcano.
"My brothers and sisters, these coming years will see the Earth and humanity experience great upheaval. The only protection, the only way to remove yourself from any fear, born of the mind, is by the Grace of God's Name. Hear it chanting within you twenty-four hours each day. Take God's Name. Remember God. Go about your duty in life. Do not go making revolution, or protesting and disturbing the Peace, in the name of Peace.
"God loves us, His creation, more than we can ever know or understand. God never turns away from us, always understands and forgives. God never doubts us or accuses, even though we do all these things to Him." Dadaji looked to Freeman and said, "Is that correct, or is it not?" Freeman responded, "Yes, Dadaji, it is like yourself. Even though we doubt you, or accuse you, never do You doubt or accuse us. Dadaji, you are the example made flesh for us."
Dadaji is keenly interested in government officials and politicians. Many of these are searching for some light, some Truth by which to make the world a better place in which to live. They come, and if they are ready, Mahanam is revealed in them. They then go out to touch many with this new found Love of the Divine.
"There is a brother and sisterhood in Truth around the world. They are those who are constantly aware of God's Name, and they are keeping the balance on Earth.
The world will be saved. It is being saved, not by those who try to shake the world by making war with their word's, who threaten and demand. But, it is being saved by those workers, men and women, who do the duty that lies nearest them, remembering God's Name.
"Whatever God does is for the Good. If you can accept this, then you have accepted Truth. If even for a few moments, you forget who you are, what you are, or where you are, you will then remember."
There was once a King who had for his Prime Minister a fellow, who, when anything appeared to be out of order would say, "Anything God does is for the Good." For the fact that he was a good, loyal, and honest Prime Minister, the King permitted this amazing statement. One day the two were walking in the woods. The King spied a pear on a tree and asked his Prime Minister to fetch it. This done the King set about paring the
fruit with a knife. He was careless and cut off the tip of a finger. Crying, bleeding, and screaming, he vented his anguish upon the Prime Minister, who responded, "Anything God does is for the good." The King kicked the Prime Minister, and chased him from
his presence.
Just then a band of cult followers were searching the forest for a human sacrifice. They came upon the King and captured him. He demanded to be released saying he was a King. The kidnappers said that their God would be even more pleased that a King was to be sacrificed.
Upon arriving at the temple, the Chief Priest examined the King. When he discovered the tip of the King's finger was cut off, he refused to use him as a sacrifice, for the King was not perfect.
The King was released and returned to his palace. He called his Prime Minister and asked forgiveness for kicking him and chasing him away. He said, "If not for the cut finger, I would have been killed. Perhaps you are right, that anything God does is for the Good."
The Prime Minister said, "Do not apologize, for in fact, I knew when you kicked me and chased me away, that it must have been for the Good. I did not know how, but after hearing your story, I realize had we both been captured, finding you imperfect, they would have sacrificed me. So you see, anything God does is for the Good.
"Those who are my own are always with me. Whatever happens to them is for their Good. Maybe sometime their load of suffering is very heavy. Know that it is certainly a manifestation of His Divine Grace. You who have accepted God are so dear, in contrast to those who remain slaves to their minds and desires. Due to their overblown egos and preoccupation with self importance, they do not even once remember God, or love God. They run to God in times of strife, yelling, "Save me! Why are you doing this to me?" Never in times of plenty do they offer praise or ask why things are going so well."
