And has your teacher ever been in Russia?
No, but he has always said well about this country and told that Russia will show the true way to India.
And how long have you brother being lived in Russia?
For more that ten years. His children have grown up there; they study in some Russian school. And when they come with their parents for holidays I see that in spite of their Indian appearance they are Russians by their way of thinking, behaviour and habits.
And what is to be a Russian? Prakash, what do you think?
Oh, Mr. Holmes, we’ve told much about it with my brother. Russia is a multinational state and he visited many of its regions. He understood who were Georgians, Tatars, Armenians, Uzbeks and even Hebrews. However he used to complaint to our teacher, when he had been alive yet, that he wasn’t able to understand who were Russians. The teacher calmed him and promised that one day he would meet a man in Russia and he would explain who Russians were. But to be able to understand his easy explanations my brother was to speak Russian very well. The teacher even described how that man would look. My brother was always looking for him. And when my brother had come on holidays last year we noticed that he had greatly changed. I can hardly explain what changed particularly, because it didn’t refer to his appearance. It was inner changes. That time he at the first time told that he had understood who Russians were. All of us asked him to tell how had it happened and if he had really met the man described by our teacher.
One day, – he began his story, – I travelled on a train from Moscow to Petersburg. And a man looked like that whom our teacher had given notice of travelled in the same roomette. I was anxious and wanted to talk to him very much to check the predictions given to me. However I didn’t know how to start the conversation for a long time. Evidently he felt it and talked first. After some time when our discussion had become quite easy I asked him the disturbing question. He smiled and answered that everything was very easy, because I understood Russian though I was an Indian. He asked me to listen thoroughly the combinations of words he was going to pronounce. I concentrated and he started to pronounce very distinctly. – (Here my brother began speaking the Russian language and then translated with the explanation). – Армянский человек, французский человек, татарский человек, американский человек, чеченский человек, еврейский человек, – and at last after a pause he slowly pronounced: русский человек[88]. After his words it naturally became clear for me, who Russians were, and I told about it to my neighbour. “What have you understood?” – he asked me. And I answered: “Russians is the future name of the whole humanity”. “Do you see how easy it all is?” – he said and added: “Dostoevsky tried to tell the world about it more than hundred years ago. But only few understood him that time, because the concept of mutual enclosing of phenomena and processes was not developed yet. Russian is the enclosing concept concerning other nations. That’s why the mind takes easy such concepts as (here he spoke the Russian again): “русский американец”, “русский немец” and even “русский китаец”[89]. But it would surely be nonplussed seeing the senseless combination: “американский русский”, “немецкий русский”, “китайский русский”[90]. And the matter is not in population of this or that nation, but in the fundamentally new concept, which encloses all the nations. And Russian “nationalism” is so “dangerous” not because it really exists, but because in perspective it’s able to unite all the nations according to the completely different moral principles, which would be alternative to ones dominating today in the biblical culture.
And what else did you brother tell about Russia? How do you think what has Sai Baba meant when he spoke about a need to help your brother in affairs of Russia and India? – Holmes asked.
The matter concerned some conception, alternative to the Bible. Brother told that they discussed it about all night long. That Russian left him some books and promised to help with mastering the new conception.
And did your brother tell about this conception?
Yes, he tried, but that time I didn’t understand everything, because he told quickly and was very anxious. If I’m right it was told there about some new credit-financial system, in which should not be the speculative market of securities; should not be the predatory extortionate loan interest, with the help of which all countries of the third world and India as well had become entirely dependent on International Monetary Fund. The new morality and the new credit-financial system begotten by it will form the new economy. In it the demographically grounded needs (food, clothes, habitation, education) will be satisfied primarily, and the degraded parasitic ones (luxuries, all kinds of drugs including alcohol and tobacco) will be satisfied on the residual principle – in contrary to the modern civilization where the demographically grounded needs are thus satisfied.
In other words the change of priorities will happen, and this will be the first sign of the new conception establishment. He also told much about the informational war, waged by the West against Russia. And he showed his certainty that Russia didn’t lose the war having lost the single important battle. It simply carried the confrontation to the certain higher generalized means of ruling. He spoke about six generalized informational means of ruling and weapon[91]. But I can’t retell it.
Thank you, Prakash. I’ve known about these six generalized means of ruling from the note about Zbignev Brzezinski’s book “The Grand Chessboard”. That Russian in the train told you brother that Russian had lost to the West one battle of the information war, but hadn’t lost the war itself. Can you say precisely, what did he mean? I tried to investigate this question after I had read the two analytical notes translated in English and placed at the site that Grisha told about. Unfortunately, I got a distressing result for Russia. May be I had not enough information, but for the world in whole it’s very important on what language does the information come to a man, never mind what generalized means of ruling is meant. For instance we are the representatives of three different nations but use English. During this voyage I communicated with the Spanish, Egyptians, French, Russians, Germans and everywhere the language was the same – English. I agree that the biblical civilization has generated the technologies, which are far from perfection but nonetheless they spread all over the world and every country tries to get them at first. But all their technical descriptions are in English. All computer software and thus the international net – Internet – is in English too. And not more than three hundred million people speak the Russian language, which the new conception is developed on. How are the Russians going to solve the problem of the communication language?
I’m ready to help Prakash to answer this question if he doesn’t object, – Grisha entered the conversation.
Of course, I don’t. I’m sure that even my brother wouldn’t be able to answer your question, Mr. Holmes.
