United Nations Day
Tribute by Sri Chinmoy
in the Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium
at the United Nations, New York
Today is U.N. Day. What does UN Day signify? It signifies a day of universal hope, a day of universal promise, a day of universal peace and a day of universal oneness. Hope brightens humanity's present deplorable fate. Promise encourages humanity's speed, which embodies success and progress. Peace enlightens humanity's age-old ignorance. And satisfaction, which is founded upon oneness, the oneness-family that we would like to live in, will one day dawn in our aspiring heart and our dedicated life.
To us, the United Nations is not a mere building, it is not a mere concept, it is not wishful thinking or even a dream. It is a reality which is growing, glowing and manifesting its radiance here, there, all-where, throughout the length and breadth of the world. All those who are sincerely crying for a oneness-family, according to their receptivity, are receiving light from the soul of the United Nations.

What Do I Need?

My Lord Beloved Supreme,
It is now so clear to me that
You do not care for me.
My Lord, You do not care for me.
Is it because my mind is insincere?
Is it because my heart is impure?
Is it because I criticise You
Inwardly and outwardly every day?
Or are there some other reasons
Why You do not care for me?"My child, if it is true that
I do not care for you,
Then it is not because of
your mind's insincerity,
Not because of your heart's impurity,
Not because of your cruel criticism of Me,
But because you dare to live
And do succeed in living
Without My Heart's Compassion,
Love, Blessing and Light."
— Sri Chinmoy
