THE DIVINE MISSION

At the United Nations there are many missions representing different countries. To me each mission is like a river flowing into the ocean, and the ocean is the United Nations. Each mission is a flowing river entering into the ocean with hope, . with eagerness and with a willingness to become part and parcel of the ocean. At the United Nations the divine mission flows not only in the ocean but also through each of the rivers. The divine mission of Light exists not only in the infinite Vast, but also in the tiniest drop of consciousness. In the perfection and fulfilment of the divine mission in the Infinite, and in the perfection and fulfilment of the divine mission in the finite, the supreme Satisfaction will dawn.

In each of the rivers the supreme Satisfaction has to dawn, for it is the constant flow of the rivers entering into the ocean that makes the ocean a living reality. And when the ocean flows back into the rivers, it offers them its abundant inner wealth so they can fulfil themselves through it.

The mission of God in each permanent mission to the United Nations is as important as it is in the United Nations itself. The United Nations is the entire body and each mission is like a limb. The body is perfect only when all the limbs are perfect. If one limb remains imperfect, the body remains imperfect.

When we are really great we care for the small, for the poor, for the invalid. The mission of the great is to become one with those who are less great than they, and to lift them up to a higher standard through self-giving. The mission of those who are not yet great is to feel that the great ones are only the more evolved extensions of their own aspiring consciousness.

– excerpt from Talk by Sri Chinmoy in U.N. Conference Room 9, Feb 9, 1973 appears in “The Tears Of Nation-Hearts”, Agni Press, 1974.

Man’s goal is peace. Peace feeds him, his life inner and outer.

Two infinite extremes: war and peace. War the destroyer of blooming worlds. Peace the devourer of roaring wars.

– by Sri Chinmoy appeared in America In Her Depths, Agni Press, 1973

Ask your mind to be clever.

What your mind needs is peace,

And this peace it can get Only from one place:

The heart of oneness And nowhere else.

– Sri Chinmoy : 2877 “The Heart Of Oneness”, appears in Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 29, Agni Press, 1982
