"I think the great revolution is very near. Be prepared for it, leaving behind the fear of death and the hope of life. I think it is necessary now that there is a great revolution because without such a revolution there can be no peace. In all epochs it has been like that - only after bloodshed peace was obtained. At the battle of Kurukshetra*, for example, there was great bloodshed.
"Like ants out of their holes, people will be seen running out of their houses. You might be wondering in your minds - 'How can Babaji make revolution when he has nothing?' When the time comes, everything will be ready. Hitler was not born with an organised army or weapons ready. Krishna and the Pandavas had nothing in the forest. When Rama fought, he was in exile and had nothing either; but at the right time everything was prepared.
"Be ready, everyone of you! Wherever you are, spread this message and tell people to be alert and ready for the great revolution coming now.
"The messenger of revolution has come!"
* The Kurukshetra War is a Hindu Historical war described in the Indian epic Mahābhārata as a conflict that arose from a dynastic succession struggle between two groups of cousins of an Indo-Aryan kingdom called Kuru, the Kauravas and Pandavas, for the throne of Hastinapura. It involved a number of ancient kingdoms participating as allies of the rival groups.
