"In one of our dialogues, leading Indian Gandhian scholar Dr. N. Radhakrishnan quoted these words of Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948): 'I know this, that when I am gone, Jawaharlal will speak my language.' And true to his prediction, after Gandhi died, his disciple Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) carried on his work and led newly independent India on the road to prosperity.
"With regard to the mentor-disciple relationship, Dr. Radhakrishnan also said: 'A mentor lives on in the deeds of his disciples,' and 'Mentor and disciple become one when they live in a creative way oriented toward eternity.'
"We of the SGI, linked by the bonds of mentor and disciple, continue to fulfil the Buddha's prophecy, spreading its message throughout the world and transmitting it on to future generations. Together, we represent a great river of outstanding Bodhisattvas of the Earth-- a great river that flows powerfully into the boundless future, like the eternal Ganges."
