An important event happening in one country is made known within a day to the people of another country 10,000 miles away.

There is a special reason why all these developments have recently taken place. The time is soon coming to give mankind a universal spiritual belief, which will serve all races of people in every country. In other words, the way is being prepared to enable me to deliver a worldwide message to humanity.

"But, when will you tell the world about your mission?" asked Brunton.

I shall break my silence and deliver my message only when there is chaos and confusion everywhere, for then I shall be most needed — when the world is rocking in upheavals, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions — when both East and West are aflame with war! Truly the whole world must suffer, for the whole world must be redeemed!

"Do you know the date of this war?" inquired Brunton.

"Yes, it is not far off. But I do not wish to reveal the date," Baba dictated.

"This is a terrible prophecy!" exclaimed Brunton.

Baba looked sad for a moment and explained:

Yes, it is. The war will be terrible in its nature, because scientific ingenuity will make it more intense than the last war. However, it will last only a short time — a few months — and when it has reached its worst, I shall make myself known publicly and declare my mission to the entire world ...

After the war, a long era of unique peace will come — a time of world tranquility. Disarmament will no longer then be a matter of mere talk, but an actual fact. Racial and communal strife will cease. Sectarian hatred between religious organizations will come to an end. I shall travel widely throughout the world and all nations will be eager to see me. My spiritual message will reach every land, every town and every village, bringing universal brotherhood in its wake, peace among men, compassion for the poor and the downtrodden. And most importantly, I will bestow love for God.

"What is India's future?" asked Brunton.

In India, I shall not rest until the pernicious caste system is totally uprooted and destroyed. When this happens, India will find itself to be one of the most influential countries in the world. Despite its shortcomings, India is still the most spiritual country in the world. The future will find India to be the moral leader of all nations.
