"The fact is, a great fire of sins and sorrows is burning throughout the world. Everyone living walks and works through this fire. People have become disheartened; Death is dancing before everyone's eyes; everyone has this experience.
"Those who are present here, from whatever place they come, live here in unity, as one - and so must you live in your own country.
"At present, not only humanity is in danger, but all sentient and insentient beings of the universe are in danger. I have not only to consider human beings but I have to save the entire Creation. How is this possible? (A long pause). It is quite impossible. Only he who has a strong determination to do good acts and who is strongly devoted to God can survive this destruction.
"Whoever lives in whatever place or country, there is no necessity of your coming running here. Please do not waste your time like this! The time and energy which you waste in coming and going to and from here should be used by doing sadhana (religious worship and work) in your home place. The coming and going is just a waste of time. Wherever you live, you must work hard to provide whatever your country lacks. Go on repeating God's Name and go on working, doing good deeds.
"Only by Karma Yoga can you advance and be successful in your life. This is the only invincible weapon - like Vajra (the divine weapon of Indra, the King of Heaven). If you use this weapon, even during the time of total destruction you will not be moved or shaken. That is why you should never cease action. You should not do anything which will do harm to others. You should do those good deeds which benefit the majority of the people. That is why all of you should advance by giving first priority to Karma (work). Karma is the only Yoga which brings success to a person. This Yoga is so powerful that even the least practice of it relieves a person from sorrow and sickness.
"Only that work which benefits the majority of people is truly called "Karma." You must organize and unite people more and more wherever you live.
"JAI MAHAMAYA KI JAI!"
