 A real member of the United Nations:

  •   offers  his  heart’s receptivity;  gratitude-flames  for being asked to represent aspiration and dedication; and  making him  acquainted with teeming wants and needs.
  • never allows himself to be buffeted by self-doubt and world-suspicion.
  •  if asked what doing , will say: “ accelerating my self-transcendence and world-acceptance-pace.”
  •  carries in his heart-pocket a visa to humanity’s oneness-heart.

At the invitation of Secretary-General U Thant in the spring of 1970, Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007) began conducting twice-weekly non-denominational meditations for peace for United Nations staff members, delegates, NGO representatives and affiliates. The Peace Meditation at the United Nations also offered programmes, concerts and lectures to promote world harmony, and Sri Chinmoy answered many questions about the spiritual role of the United Nations.
