Sri Chinmoy:
The Peace Meditation at the United Nations

Sri Chinmoy: Certainly it does. Whenever and wherever an iota of progress is manifested in the earth-consciousness, the United Nations gets the result.

It is like a father and son. When the son goes abroad and does something great and good for mankind, the father gets tremendous joy, for the father sees his own inspiration, which he has injected into his son, now being manifested.

So if there is any progress in any corner of the globe, the fruits of that progress will come back to its ultimate source. .

The peace, harmony and oneness that all the countries in the world are working for have their source at the United Nations. So if there is progress in these areas in the world, we have to feel that the inspiration and aspiration behind it, plus the original vision, originated here at the United Nations.

Previously some countries or some individuals may have had the lofty vision of world oneness. But it existed only in the world of theory, not in the world of practicality. Only the United Nations has the capacity to manifest this vision in the outer world. And it uses th is capacity to unify all the countries in working toward a common goal, which is the transformation of human nature, especially the mind, and the unification of human hearts.

So if anywhere we observe progress, even in small measure , we have to give credit to the United Nations. For it was here that the vision of oneness took form and sent its illumining light to the four corners of the globe.

the fruits of that progress will come back to its ultimate source. It is like a father and son. When the son goes abroad and does something great and good for mankind, the father sees his own inspiration, which he has injected into his son, now being manifested. This gives him tremendous joy and increases his inspiration.

The peace, harmony and oneness that all the countries in the world are working for have their source in the United Nations. So if there is any marked progress in the world, we have to feel that the inspiration and aspiration behind it, plus the original vision, originated here at the United Nations. In the past, some countries or some individuals may have had the lofty vision of world-oneness. But it existed in the world of theory, not in the world of practicality. Only the United Nations has the capacity to fully manifest this vision in the outer world. And it uses this capacity to unify all the countries towards a common goal, which is the unification of human hearts and the transformation of human nature, particularly the mind.

So, if we observe progress in any nation, even in small measure, we have to give credit to the United Nations. And, whenever and wherever an iota of oneness-progress is manifested in the earth-consciousness, the United Nations gets the result. For it was here that the vision of oneness took birth and sent its illumining light to the four corners of the globe.
