Talk on the United Nations meditation3

Dearest children, we have just arrived, and I wish to say a few words on today’s meditation. This was the Inaugural Meditation of our United Nations Group. Perhaps most of you do not know that we have been given this unique opportunity, or should we say that the Supreme has given us a unique opportunity, to serve Him in the United Nations.

As you know, the United Nations serves a most significant role in the unification of human wisdom, concern, sympathy and love. Every Tuesday from 12 noon to 1 pm, they have given me the honour of conducting this meditation. When I say “me”, you can rest assured, apart from Alo and myself, that you all, we all, are given the honour of meditating there.

So we conduct meditations there. The meditation is most soulful, most sublime and most divine. There we feel that all the nations are aspiring inwardly towards the Transcendental Peace; or we may say that we bring down the Transcendental Peace for the suffering and aspiring humanity.

There was a time when I used to say that the Supreme wanted us to enter into the wide world. It was absolutely true. Now all of a sudden He has played His Game and has sprung a surprise. He has brought the entire world into us through the United Nations. We have been given the Peace Room, which is another most significant thing. The Peace Room: in size, the Peace Room is small, but not in its depth. The Peace Room is really a room of Peace. It symbolises human aspiration. People from different nations are coming to meditate with us, and I feel that each Tuesday a new Light, a new Power, dawns on their lives of aspiration.

Here we have received this opportunity to serve humanity at large. How can we serve properly? We can serve humanity only through the feeling of oneness, and this feeling of oneness comes only when we have already established our oneness with God, the Source.

Dearest children, I wish to tell you that some of you are fond of philanthropy, charity and so forth: helping people who are needy or in trouble. But I wish to say that this kind of help is no help unless you have established your oneness with God. Now we feel that we have established our oneness with God. That is why we are trying to serve the divinity in humanity.

Now we feel that every disciple can offer his heart’s inspiration and aspiration-light to the meditation that we hold on Tuesday. It lasts for an hour. Please try to identify yourselves with us, no matter where you are or what you are doing. If you are in the office or if you are in the bank, if you are in the El Mundo premises or you are in the hospital, working there, you can send your aspiring soul to us, to meditate with us. The physical can remain in Puerto Rico, but the spirit can be with us while all the nations are united in meditation. The significance of this is very simple. As Alo says, the world has come to us and the inner Victory, the Bell of the inner Victory, has rung in the inner worlds. She has heard it. In the outer world, those who are awakened have heard the call, and those who are still asleep will have to wait for it.

Now here, the Centre is growing. I am most pleased with you; I am most proud of you. What we want right now from you is the feeling of oneness, inseparable oneness. To our satisfaction, the family is growing rapidly. Now we expect the conscious feeling of oneness with each brother and each sister disciple. The world is now united in our hearts’ soulful embrace. Let us, therefore, offer to the outer world what we have: aspiration. To the inner world, let us offer again what we have: our dedication, our soul’s true love for God in humanity.

This is our Mother Centre, and we do expect from our Mother Centre everything. This Centre is the origin of all our other Centres. Here is our true, genuine and pure pride. When we see new faces, it means a new life, a new energy, a new inspiration, a new enthusiasm, a new vigour and a new radiating light entering into the family.

The responsibility of each member is to establish true oneness with other members. Physically you do not see us often, but spiritually you do see us. Most of you have recently had most significant experiences. How? Precisely because you have aspiration and precisely because we meditate on you.
