Wherever I go, the mice immediately disappear."
Rajiv Gandhi, you are a young mouse. It is time not just to talk. Take the risk. Begin with this country.
And I have immense trust in the intelligence around the world. If one country takes the risk, others are bound to follow.
Don't wait for there to be an agreement amongst all the nations to do it simultaneously. Then it is never going to happen. That agreement is impossible. One has to start, knowing perfectly well the danger and the risk. But I remind you, nothing happens without risks -- no evolution, no progress.
Yes, the earth has to be one. Without the earth being one, we cannot solve its problems. It is now so clear that even blind people can see it, that unless the earth is one, without boundaries ... in a world without boundaries we can dissolve all the problems from which humanity is suffering immensely. And in the coming ten years it is going to suffer almost a suicide.

But what have we got? Nine hundred million poor people who are going to die in utter starvation, misery and suffering in the coming ten years.
It is a good opportunity.
I hope you will understand what I am saying.
From tomorrow morning, start dissolving the armies, drowning all your armaments in the ocean, and hope for the best -- that the intelligentsia around the world will follow.
Nobody listens to words. Actions are needed to materialize any idea into a reality.
I will wait for tomorrow.
What I have said should be sent immediately in a telegram to Rajiv Gandhi.
Tomorrow morning begins a
