Background: Mr. Sitaram Bharti i.e. my father was a spiritual wanderer and he had deep interest in Politics too, in fact after reading this speech of his I realized that my deep longing to spiritualize politics is in my DNA coming through my father. Since my mother supported my father fully and without any expectations per se, my father published his speech under names of his own self as well as my mother, possibly this was his way of acknowledging contribution of my mother in his life.

Brothers and sisters
The world to-day seems to have reached to its spiritual and mental bankruptcy. It has become quite impossible for it to solve its increasing problems. Our last generation was packed with a number of imperfect idealists who are responsible for bringing the word to its present position. They being themselves ignorant of the path to the Infinite, the One, Absolute Reality, led the people of the word to different paths of different isms. Hence differences of today. It is something to have some spiritual realizations and elatements, but it is quite different to become directly attached with the supreme force. How can one lead the people to the path of the Infinite, unless he is able to visualize Him in his day-to-day life? Only such people are able to lead the people on right path or they who follow them. Sources of the infinite are infinite. There would never be any dearth of solution to ever rising problems for one who is attached with Him. Otherwise, however great one is, he is bound to be on the lack of his resources in the long run and thus become unable to provide solutions to the evolutionary character of world problems. Beware of great men who are not attached with the Supreme Force or with one who is attached with Him.
Different is much as Communism, socialism. Capitalism and Gandhism are leading the word with a settled direction to the path of destruction. Gandhism failed form its very beginning. It was lack of prudent and farsightedness that led to the partition of India. No other country and its leaders under the influence of any isms allowed their mothers and sisters insulted as the leaders of India under the influence of Gandhism allowed during the partition of India and even thereafter. Mr. Nehru as the prime minister of India never feels ashamed of the molestation of our mother and sisters. This is why he let the disturbance of Assam passed off without any interference. He never interferes unless he sees that his government would be at stake without it.
Capitalism cannot tolerate whole humanity to prosper.
Communism is quite incapable to solve the world problems. There is torture and many unnatural elements in it. Before the hope of Mr. Khrushchev, that he would be happy if the whole world goes red, is fulfilled, the face of the world would be quite changed.
People all over the world have been compelled to live unnatural lives under the pressure of their political leader’s to-day. Life from an individual to that of a nation has deviated from its normal course so much so that if it is not brought to its normal course immediately it is bound to collapse. A universal man is urgently required in the strife torn world today. This necessity of making oneself attached with Him has reached to its extreme today. Let the people come and see themselves whether our lord passes the test. He is fully able to rebring the world to its lost normal course through His insight of the deeper mysteries of life and divine introspection of spontaneous love and service! He has become a universal man by making Himself one with the universe.
Forces of destruction are uniting together all over the world. In India, while The Prime Minister Nehru has not been able to solve the Kashmir problem a new problem of Tibet has arisen. The refugee problem due to the partition of India is still weeping on its fate, the problem of Assam cropped up. Ever increasing problem, corruption, groupism, casteism, insecurity and fall in the decency of life, communal riots and acts of foreign agents inside the country against its interest etc quite clearly show that Pt. Nehru has not been able to cope efficiently with the situation. He is turning into a leader of rascals than of good people of the country. Much less common and innocent people have been benefited under his regime comparatively. We promise to root out the congress from all over India and free the country from all undesirable elements present if the people of the country support us. We would be ready to co-operat with all forces of the country which intend to throw out the congress rule out of their sincere desire to serve the motherland if thereby the integrity of India is not lost. The congress have been using powers as their hereditary rights disregarding all moral dogmas of fair administration and interests of the country on the whole. The affairs all over the world too are taking from bad to worse form.
Many have seen disastrous wars, epidemics, famines etc during the last two world wars. But we think more dreadful scenes are yet to appear on the surface of the earth. It is only for the moment to decide its final shape.
They who want to survive the coming terrors must attach themselves with Him. He is suffering for years to bring mankind to its normal course and save it from final destruction. The whole of mankind has not been fortunate enough to know Him for want of proper men to carry out his mission. Many in the country do not know him yet.
He is the Fulfiller of all. He combines in Himself all the wisdom of past prophets. By following Him a Hindu would follow his lords Ram and Krishna, a Muslim his prophet Mohammed, a Christian his beloved Jesus and a Buddhist his great Buddha and so on.
Blessed were they who died in His cause in the past. They laid the foundation stone of the new world based on one ideal and one goal. They helped the cause of God and are our true forefathers. Blessed are they who love Him above all. They would survive and rise up against all disturbances of the present day world. They who would die in His cause would be martyrs in its complete appropriate sense.
It is high time that the people should realize the necessity of making themselves attached with Him, follow His benign directions and save themselves. We do not see that fate of mankind is so good as it can safely come out of present disturbances. Once the flame gets to its full strength, it would not be possible at all for all to save themselves. None can exits denying Him. They who would disbelieve in Him and His words would suffer. Laws of universe may be changed, but His words would not fall to untruth.
The problem of Kashmir has not been solved. The status of Tibet ought to have been maintained as the buffer sate between India and china. It was lack of vigilance and prompt action on Nehru Government that the position of Tibet was lost as such. Moreover, some twelve thousand acres of land of India were allowed to have passed over to china. It was treachery to the country and its people. To grant any further concession to china would be a greater treachery to the country and its people.
We promise to preserve the integrity of India, protect its people from all inner disturbances and defend the country from all foreign aggressions, independent of any help from America, Russia or any other countries of the world, if the people of the country support us. Hands of friendship would be extended to countries which would really need them. Any effort to deceive India would be met with deception.
Fate of modern India would ultimately be decided by us. Sooner the people of the country realize it better would be in their fate and in the fate of the country.
It would be only due to your co operation that we would be able to make our little service to you all, the motherland and mankind.
Let us, who want to live and grow, unite firmly with implicit faith in the Lord against forces of destruction. Life without him is untrue and unsacred, however good and great.
