Sri Chinmoy meditates with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, on 13 January 1983. Moved by the meditation, which took place in the private office of the Secretary-General, Mr Pérez de Cuéllar told Sri Chinmoy, “You concentrate on the truth and ideals which unite all mankind: the longing for peace, the need for compassion, the search for tolerance and understanding among men and women of all nations.”
