whose existences
have no charm of vitality -
let us guide them on the path of light,
let us educate them,
let us fulfill their demands and their need,
let us restore their lost dignity
with our hearts overflowing with love.
Let the sufferings of each be shared by all,
for this world belongs to us all.
This song will not stop.
This suppression will not continue.
PROUT is the illuminated path to follow.
We have endured suffering for eras.
The limits of tolerance have now broken down.
Up to the present day,
the demons are browbeating.
The moralists are in unrest.
The sun rises in the east.
The era of darkness is about to end.
Light falls after pain;
We cannot bear any further delay.
~ Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar ~
The smiling lotus of the dawn spreads the perfume of love,
Do not turn this sweet and sunny day dark and sullen.
The evening star proclaims with a soft smile,
"The compassion of all showers on all;"
The pollen of Ketakii* is afloat in space,
Let not this flow be stopped.
~ Shrii P. R. Sarkar ~

While the vision above presents Sarkar's thinking, it does not place it in the context of other images of the future. By placing Sarkar's vision in the context of other images we will better be able compare his thought. We use as our points of comparison, the images developed by futurist James Dator.32
"He who is meek and contented, he who has an equal vision, whose mind is filled with the fullness of acceptance and of rest;
He who has seen Him and touched Him, he is freed from all fear and trouble.
To him the perpetual thought of God is like sandal paste smeared on the body, to him nothing else is delight;
His work and his rest are filled with music: he sheds abroad the radiance of love.
Kabir says, "Touch His feet, who is one and indivisible, immutable and peaceful; who fills all vessels to the brim with joy, and whose form is love."
Kabir
"O my friend, my companion.
In which far-off land have You been for so long?
Seeing You and loving You, O Lord,
All the embankments of my heart are broken.
You exist, so I also exist.
With Your vibrations, I keep dancing,
Leaving all behind today.
Why do You come to me with a benign smile?
I merge my life flow in Your melody today and keep floating in joy."
Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

Translated from original Bangla by Kabir Chowdhury
O poverty, thou hast made me great.
Thou hast made me honoured like Christ
With his crown of thorns. Thou hast given me
Courage to reveal all. To thee I owe
My insolent, naked eyes and sharp tongue.
Thy curse has turned my violin to a sword.
