Sri Chinmoy:
The Peace Meditation at the United Nations

On 7 January 1977 Sri Chinmoy welcomed Dr. Robert Muller, Director and Deputy to the Under-Secretary-General for Inter-Agency Affairs and Coordination, as a member of the United Nations Meditation Group family. At that time Sri Chinmoy presented him with a copy of a tribute to U Thant that Dr. Muller had written, which the Meditation Group had printed as a special supplement to its Bulletin.

Sri Chinmoy:

Dearest Robert Muller, dearest brother, on behalf of the Meditation Group, I wish to welcome you to our small, soulful Group with our hearts’ deepest love , joy, pride and gratitude. We sincerely feel that your very presence has considerably enhanced our journey here to the ultimate goal, which is one world family and a oneness-world. To have you as a member of our Meditation Group is to have someone whose love of Truth, whose concern not only for the United Nations but for the entire humanity , can help us, guide us and illumine our sea rch for the ultimate Truth. This ultimate Truth we really need here at the United Nations to found a world-family that will grow and glow.

Sri Chinmoy welcomes Dr. Robert Muller as a member of the United Nations Meditation Group.

Dr. Robert Muller:

Thank you. I attended two of your ceremonies, and I felt forthwith that your approach to the United Nations was the same as mine. Hence , I decided to become a member of your group. It is very important that people everywhere, especially public servants, be inspired not only by their skills, knowledge, education, expectations and ambitions, but also by the certainty that whatever they do must be for the good of the human family. A person gives his best only if beyond talent and intelligence he also offers his heart. This is how I have always approached public service and my place in it.

I entered the United Nations as a young man with an ideal. Since then that ideal has grown. Today it is more than an ideal: it is a religion. It is a daily religion to try to do good for my fellow brothers and sisters and for our beautiful planet Earth. We must care for them and love them very much, for they are such incredible miracles in the universe.
