Predicting the future
Those who predict the
future… who are able to give some hint of the future after having
visualized it by dint of a little concentration of mind, are called
iikśańaka or iikśańika. This science of iikśańa has yet
to become a fully developed science, even today. It is still in the
research stage…
Progress is never ending...
There cannot be any stop in the march of human
progress. And not only in human progress, but in the physical and
psychic worlds also. Geo-sentiment (nationality) will die out;
socio-sentiment (groupism) will disappear; socio-economic sentiment
(classes) will be eradicated. Finally a day will come when sentient
sentiment (benevolent?) will dominate.
The more time is passing by, the more the glare of
casteism, provincialism, communalism and nationalism is fading away.
The human beings of today must understand that in the near future
they will definitely have to accept universalism.
All the people of all nations belong to the same
family... if people dedicate themselves to the welfare of the entire
human race, their respective nations will also be benefited
indirectly because their nations are not outside the universe!
Now the element of physicality is predominant, but
in future the psychic element will become predominant and the
physical aspect will become secondary. All the ectoplasmic and
endoplasmic potentialities of the entire creation are fast being
converted into psychic potentialities.
Perhaps in future human beings will produce such
machines (about which I have already hinted) which have minds also.
But even in that case, those minds will be weaker than their
creators’ minds.
One may not be a genius, one may simply be a
member of the ordinary public, and not properly accepted or respected
by all, but even then one should get the minimum requirements and
maximum amenities in an ever increasing manner according to the
environmental conditions concerned, according to the demands of the
day.
The earth is not only for human beings, it is for
other living beings also... The minimum requirements and maximum
amenities should also be given to animals...Animals will also develop
longings for different psycho-physical pabula, so they should be
guaranteed minimum requirements and maximum amenities too. We will
have to do something for them also. This is the demand of
Neohumanism. This demand should be fulfilled by PROUT.
Solving economic problems:
Human civilization has now reached a critical
stage of transition. Exploitation of one human being by another has
assumed alarming proportions. At critical junctures in the past, when
exploitation had reached the zenith point, history witnessed the
emergence of mighty personalities who were able to overcome the
problems in society. Today also, the guidance of mighty personalities
with a comprehensive ideology is required to lead humanity away from
the edge of disaster towards a glorious future. The emergence of such
personalities is an indispensable necessity of history.
Like any other problem, great or small, there is
only one way to solve economic problems, and that is through genuine
love for humanity. This love will give people guidance; it will show
them what to do and what not to do. It is not necessary to study
great numbers of books or to rely upon those who speculate with the
future of the silent masses. The only essential requirement is to
look upon humanity with genuine sympathy…
The struggle between the good and the evil forces
terminates in the latter’s rout – this you have seen, are seeing
and will see in future. Only remain vigilant that the evil forces
under no circumstances receive any indulgence from your side...As
soon as administrative power passes into the hands of moralists, then
exploitation will cease to
exist.
The population problem... is not just an
economic problem – it includes economic, biological, psychological
and intellectual aspects.
Future generations will spend more of their time
and energy on subtle psychic and spiritual activities, so their
demand for physical food will decrease…With the application of
science and technology we can harness resources to meet the challenge
of the food problem...scientifically prepared manure, high-yield
seeds, irrigation systems, etc.
The importance and value of land will
automatically diminish if the problems of food production are solved.
In the future a synthetic food tablet may be enough to satisfy a
person’s hunger. The production of abundant quantities of such
tablets in scientific laboratories will remove the disparity between
the rich and the poor...
The earthly problems, Calamities –
natural or caused by human beings:
Although different types of calamities may
confront humanity, doomsday will never happen. The very idea of
doomsday is based on dogma...Calamities
are also caused by the destruction of the environment and the
indiscriminate exploitation of subterranean resources such as coal,
oil and water.
What are the most important causes of drought?
There are three main causes. The first is the wanton destruction
of plants or indiscriminate deforestation, the second is low pressure
systems over oceans and big seas, and the third is sudden changes in
the angular movement of the sun and other celestial bodies like
comets, nebulae and galaxies.
One of the greatest causes of environmental
destruction is deforestation. That is, clouds which once rained on
Magadh now rain on the Arabian Sea…Approximately two-thirds of the
surface of the globe is water and one-third is land, but due to
deforestation the water portion is increasing and the land portion is
decreasing…
Another cause of environmental destruction is the
exploitation of subterranean resources. Deep cavities have been
formed in the earth after extracting subterranean resources... the
unfilled cavities can severely weaken the surface structure of the
earth, causing whole regions to collapse. (sinkholes, fracking,
nuclear tests, mining, DA).
How do the sudden changes in the angular movement
of celestial bodies cause drought? When there is the sudden
appearance of powerful celestial bodies or a sudden change in their
angle of rotation, their gravitational pull may disturb the seasons
and the natural order of creation...clouds may not be formed.
The angular displacement of any celestial body may
affect the human mind as well as the physical universe, so balance
must be maintained between the internal and external spheres. In all
aspects of human life this subtle balance must be maintained. This is
ecological balance.
Magnetic disturbances:
And if the magnetic
order is disrupted, then certain remarkable changes, certain
remarkable metamorphoses in the electromagnetic vibrations of this
Earth and also of the entire solar system, will occur. As a result of
this type of change in the electromagnetic vibrations, human thought
waves will certainly be affected...Our progress in the arena of
science depends much on the progress of our knowledge in
electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic emanations…
The conflict between Vidyá and Avidyá, or the
introversive and extroversive forces respectively, is now going on
intensely. So I cannot but come to the clear conclusion that humanity
is sure to discover a new weapon to counter the atomic menace
in the very near future. This will also conclusively establish that
science has a great and sublime role to play in promoting human
welfare.
We hope that the movement – that is, the
movement of humanity, and of each and every living being – is from
matter to consciousness, from extroversion to introversion. So the
thought waves of human beings will be more of a spiritual nature than
they are at present. That is, humanity in that developed condition
will be more spiritual-minded than it is at present.

And Sarkar concludes if spiritual practices are
done beforehand then those future troubles can be forestalled while
they are still in the premonition stage.
