The modern mind evolved under the pressure of Reason. That is why it lost the Intuitive sense of the earlier ages of mankind. But this is only a passing phase. The peak of Reason was towards the beginning of the previous century. Subsequently the war gave as its after effect cynicism and scepticism which ultimately ended up, like bhasmasura, destroying not only faith but Reason itself. Its gift democracy levelled out all sense of greatness reducing the individual to one of several equal units. This was needed so that a New Creation can be raised upon the ruins of the past.
Now the process of destruction is largely complete and the truths that were discarded are emerging again in a new way. The change has begun and portions of humanity are growing subtler in their intelligence and rediscovering Rama and Krishna within in a new way. That is the sign of new hope. For ultimately truth can never be destroyed, only its outer forms and formulas are removed like old worn out dresses and return in new and shining forms. That is what has already begun and when it is over, then we shall see the full of emergence.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
