– Assistant-Secretary-General,  Robert Muller discussed his most recent book , New Genesis, at a meeting of the Meditation Group.

 The book is a collection of essays on the author’s search for a new global spirituality. Excerpts from his talk follow.

• “My fascination, my enthusiasm, for the United Nations I have had since the beginning of my career. But trained as I was as a political man, there was one very important dimension that was missing, and I acquired this through two persons. They have transformed my life without any doubt. Thanks to U-Thant and to Sri Chinmoy I have seen that there is more to life than even this planet, that there is more even than humanity.
• I have seen that  there is the universe, that there is eternity, that there is God, and that this human family cannot succeed if it doesn’t place itself in the eternal stream of time and into the vastness of the universe.
• These were the two great lessons I received without which I would not have been able to make the many speech­es and write the many essays which I have in the past two years. They would have been very imperfect if they had been only political or eco­nomic, however vast the vis­ion of one world might be. It is a dimension which I will never forget until I die.
•  I have come to conclude that t this dimension is the only one which will give us the answers to all of our problems. It is not the mind, it is not even the heart, it is not interest,it is not-negotiation that will do it. It is the reali­zation that on this little planet God has something special to do. We must know what are the laws of God which we have to abide by in order to not kill each other and finally to practice jus­tice and love towards each other. This, I believe, is the ultimate objective of the United Nations in spite of images to the contrary.”

• Mr • Muller’s book, published by Doubleday, is available in the U.N. Bookstore.
