I will speak this evening on the subject of the prophetic life. There have been many great teachers who have been sent on earth to serve God and help humanity, and their lives are different from one another. Yet behind their lives there is a plan, a plan which is quite similar in the life of them all. For instance, God's plan was carried out in the nursery. It was quite unusual for the kings of India to have their crown princes kept in the house, in the palace, till they were young men, and not to bring them in touch with the world. It has never happened before nor has it happened afterwards.
