the last word in human perfection. page 43 -44

This is why we must listen attentively with all our minds, hearts
and souls to what the great religions and spiritual leaders have to say. They have a long experience of human life and of~en. their perceptions are still the quickest and most accurate. This is why we must also be grateful to anyone who gives the work of the Unitcd Nations a spiritual interpretation, thus following the .example~ of Dag Hammarskjold and U Thant, who saw in the United nations the renewed story of the total dimension of human life. Their message was one of love, compassion, understanding and human fraternity.

That message, after many vicissitudes throughout world history, is re-emerging as forcefully as ever, but now on a universal scale. It is a fascinating story and we are probably the first species ever able to comprehend it. I have always been an optimist, deeply in love with humanity, precisely because of its capacity to elevate and transcend itself into constantly higher levels of physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual fulfillment. The march towards that transcendence has now started on a planetary scale, and we are privileged to be among its first witnesses and workers. We must cater to it, nurture it, love it, help it grow in beauty and in strength, so as to fulfill the prophecies of all great spiritual leaders. In particular I would agree with the prophecy of that spiritual believer in the United Nations, Sri Chinmoy, when he said:

“At the .end of its voyage, there is every possibility that the United Nations will be the last word in human perfection. And then the United Natl9ns can easily bloom in excellence and stand as the pinnacle of divine .enlightenment.“

~. Sri Chinmoy, . “The Inner Message of the United Nations,” Dag Hammarskjold Lecture Series, January 1973.

Prayer and Meditation a the UN, and spirituality page 45 -46

Then we have the UN Meditation Room, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

We have also a UN Meditation Group led by an Indian mystic.

One could tell several moving stories of the spiritual transformation the UN has caused, to the point that this little speck on earth is becoming a holy ground. For example, the rational, intellectual economist Dag Hammarskjold found God at the United Nations and inspiration for his work as a world servant in the mystics of the Middle Ages. Towards the end, his Markings overflow with spirituality and mysticism.

the UN Meditation Group. Thus the United Nations is present page  page 80

Today three magnificent bells cast in Annecy, France, adorn Thanksgiving Square and try to stir the souls of the people. There is only one rectangular shape in the square: the altar on which stands a beautiful, massive glass candelabrum from Ireland.

The Hall of Thanksgiving under the chapel offers the sight of immaculate white columns representing various civic associations. Behind these columns flows a sky-blue illuminated water. In the center of the hall, right under the nexus of the spiral, stands a permanent exhibit with a plaque from the UN Meditation Group. Thus the United Nations is present in the temple calling for the prayers of the visitors for the world’s first universal peace organization. It is most interesting to observe the visitors. There are many people from Dallas, especially young people who work in the skyscrapers
