I alone am in everyone. The British are quite good in one way and they, too, are doing a great service to India. You cannot understand this.

The present Viceroy, Lord Irwin, is very, very good, as is Mahatma Gandhi. Both are doing great service to India, though they are apparently on opposite sides. Both men have previous spiritual connections with me, for both lived in the time of Shivaji, though one is a European and the other is now an Indian. But that is insignificant.

From ancient times, India has been a land of spirituality. So being born in India is a matter of spiritual pride, inasmuch as a person is [seemingly] so near the spiritual goal. The best of people born in America, Europe, Africa and other countries, with their good karma from this life, are born in India in their next life; and the worst of those born in India with false pride, egotism, and undesirable karmas are born in Europe and America, or in places which are so spiritually backward.

Great upheavals are coming soon throughout the world, particularly in India. There will be great tension in India between the British and the Indians on one hand, and between the Hindus and the Muslims on the other, resulting in terrible bloodshed and massacres. Hindus will kill Muslims, the Muslims will kill Hindus, and the British will kill both! Rivers of blood will flow in India and there will be corpses everywhere! Civil war will break out in India and all the parties will clash against one another. Nothing but chaos and confusion will reign everywhere. Out of this cry and clamor for independence, quite a new situation will arise with others intervening and abruptly appearing.

Besides this violence, a great war will break out and rage between the Western countries — Russia, America, England, Italy, Germany, and others. There will be such chaos and confusion throughout the world that not one leader will understand what to do. And out of this confusion and chaos, the Avatar will appear to guide misguided humanity onto the path of peace and prosperity — toward eternal bliss.

But that will take time and require great upheavals throughout the world. These disorders, disturbances and unrest are necessary to make the world turn its face toward spirituality and ensure its future salvation. For this reason, I am sitting in [staying secluded] in a few days.
