Sri Chinmoy: O soul of the United Nations, we wish to serve you more soulfully and more devotedly, and for that what we need is more peace . Do tell us where peace is in abundant measure.

“Where is peace? Peace is in joy.”
Where is joy?   “Joy? Joy is in love. ”
Where is love?   “Love? Love is in oneness.”
Where is oneness?  “Oneness? Oneness is in vision. ”
Where is vision?  “Vision? Vision is in aspiration .”
Where is aspiration?   “Aspiration? Aspiration is in self-giving;  aspiration is in truth-becoming, in light-becoming, in life-becoming and, finally, in God-becoming.”
