Handout-2010-Dec-07 – A Real Member

Filed under Poetry

A real member of the United Nations:

  • self-offering joy surprises the entire world;
  • sings only aspiration-perfection-song and never wants to watch desire-possession-dance;
  • sends every morning beauty’s peace around the world.
  • knows that  wisdom-knowledge-light and sympathetic understanding  will never lose on the battlefield of misunderstanding;
  • is a true lover of the UN soul and a true server of the UN body.

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.
