When all is said and done, there is but one way to describe the present
international situation: chaotic. Power-hungry warmongers, reluctant ‘agnostics’ and
self-appointed heroes, eager to save the world, struggle to win the support of the people for
their various points of view. The voice of the people struggles to be heard amid the tumult
but, more and more, is a factor to be reckoned with.
In many countries, vast throngs demonstrate their opposition to a forced
and unfair confrontation, and express their fears of a terrible aftermath.
Throughout history, similar situations have arisen again and again, but only very seldom has
the will of the people, even when directly involved, been an important factor in the
deliberations and decisions made. In recent centuries, only in the great transforming actions
of revolution has the people’s voice been central to the action, and made its mark on the
time.
Reckless
Today, once again, the moment has come for the people’s voice to be
heard. Today, once more, it is essential that the needs of people everywhere for justice,
freedom and peace are heard and recognized by the wielders of reckless power.
These dangerous men, caught up in the glamour of their power, must realize that the time for
war is past, that humanity longs for peace and a security quickly vanishing. The little
‘Napoleons’ must be told that their days of power are over; that the times have robbed them of
all relevance; and that the power now lies with those who serve the true needs of the people.
Hectic
When Maitreya enters the fray, He may at first go unheeded in the hectic
events which daily drain men of serenity and calm. Soon, however, men will find that their
thoughts and needs are being heard and given voice by a mind more thoughtful and persuasive
than their own. In this way they will feel emboldened and join together the better to be
heard.
Maitreya will address their most urgent needs, their deepest hopes and fears. He will speak
for all men, for people everywhere, and will thus make known the quality of the new society
which inwardly satisfies the dreams and expectations of all.
Challenge
Soon, indeed, will Maitreya enter, openly, the lives of men. He is well
prepared and eager for the challenge which lies before Him, and His courage will strengthen
those who can respond. From His great heart will flow the love which it is His nature to
bestow, and when men are ready He will declare His name and office. Thus will the Great Lord
manifest His close relation to men and women everywhere, and thus, too, will He fulfil the
trust which men, for ever, have placed in Him.
