because of those who are growing their hair long (the new
generation).
This whole world has become a mental hospital and hence
it is natural that the generation of today is being called mad. The
entire hospital is full of mental people and that is why the Gnani
manifested. The Gnani Purush is born in this world (mental
hospital), so his body too can be considered mental, can it not?
Nevertheless a change is coming our way.
By the year 2005 India will become the leading center of
the world. We still have 31 years to go, by that time these long-
haired youngsters will be 55-60 years old. At that time they will
no longer have this state of ‘madness’ in them. They will have
cut their hair short. All their madness will no longer remain. One
day while sitting in a car behind a young man with long hair,
‘We’ asked him, “Son why have you grown your hair so long
that it flies back and disrupts those sitting behind you?” Really
his long hair did not bother ‘us’ but ‘we’ just happened to
comment on it casually. That young man right away went and got
a hair cut, he came to ‘us’ and did namaskar to ‘us’ and told
‘us’ that he will not grow his hair long again.
This very generation will one day become wise and cut
their hair and there will be an end to all their madness. Whereas,
these so-called ‘wise ones’ who walk around with short hair are
the ones who believe their depraved conduct is the standard of
good conduct. They are the ones who are mental. They quarrel
whole daylong. They have countless disagreements even when
there are only three people in the family.
