Invitation to Meditate
A talk by Sri Chinmoy
in the Dag Hammarskjöld Library Auditorium at the United Nations, New York
Dear seekers, every Friday we meditate in one of the conference rooms here, and offer our aspiration to the soul of the United Nations. I wish to invite the United Nations members who are present today to come and meditate with us. This meditation is not only for the United Nations but for the world at large. This meditation is for the God-lover and the man-lover. If we really love God, and if we really love mankind and consciously believe that we are responsible for mankind, then we feel that our aspiration and dedication to the soul of the United Nations and our Inner Pilot is of paramount importance.
Please feel that it is your own aspiration that will expedite the vision for the United Nations. And when the vision is transformed into reality, the Inner Pilot will know our contribution whether or not the world ever recognises it. Our contribution, which is our aspiration, cannot be measured by money-power or any kind of world-power. It can be measured only by God’s Love-power, His Concern-power, His Confidence-power.

Question: What is the supreme role of each individual nation vis-à-vis the United Nations?
Sri Chinmoy: The supreme role of each individual nation is to maintain a genuine faith in the United Nations and implicitly abide by the United Nations Charter.
Question: On what principles should the United Nations be unyielding and uncompromising?
Sri Chinmoy: When ignorance wants to lord it over the United Nations, naturally the soul of the United Nations cannot and will not surrender or compromise.
