"Look at the dream visions of hell and chaos that appear in your subjective world. Look at the news today, buy a magazine today, and you will see a picture of the world in chaos, a world in which the Divine is not the universally acknowledged Principle of existence. Clearly, our world is not being transformed into a pattern of Divine laws! The men who function as leaders in the world today do not know how to Enlighten anybody. None of them is Awake as the Divine Conscious Being. None is an Enlightened man. Our world must be transformed into a culture in which every individual being is aligned to God and, therefore, likewise all the functions of human beings, including world order and politics. The Law of Divine Association must be fulfilled first, and than all the laws of action, cause and effect, association, or relationship may be ordered on the basis of that Divine Association.
But where is the Divine Being, apart from the beings somehow acknowledged in our religious sentiment? Where is the Spiritual Master who can liberate us from the words, the language, the traditions, the memories, the chaos of piecemeal religion? The Bhagavad Gita says that "whenever the paths of life are corrupt, and whenever the Law of Association with God has been forgotten, I come." The Divine Consciousness appears in the form of the Spiritual Master who accomplishes the righteous realignment of the Earth and all humanity with God.
My birth and the creation of this Communion are instruments of this same process, which has also been generated in times past. The Divine is always doing this kind of work in all the moments of history. The Revelation of God to Man is a process that goes on and on and on. Ultimately, you see, its function is to realign the entire world of Man to God, but the process will not come to an end just because some sort of sacred order has been established on Earth. Everything that exists in all the universes is being brought into alignment with God. The transforming process is a struggle, and until it is ultimately accomplished, the experience of beings is chaotic. Men and women may come to the point of yearning for the Divine Principle, but until the Divine Principle is fully established everywhere, we will not see an order of life based on the salvation of all beings.
Every human being must be made sensitive to the chaos in which he or she is living at the present time. People are tormented and confused, and most people can acknowledge the confusion of their lives. To such people, who are therefore sensitive to the quality of ordinary experience, the message of the Way that I Teach, the message of this Communion, is salvatory and liberating. But people who have not also coincidentally been made sensitive to the hellish chaos of egoic experience cannot respond to the saving message of this Teaching. We cannot just go into the world with a smiling, middle-class message that you can be consoled by mere belief. Our Communion must establish in people a feeling that the usual life is suffering. On the basis of that realization, men and women can respond to what is liberating."
