Inaugural Address: Land of World Peace, March 20 1999
Excerpt
|
"In every generation, there have been groups desiring to establish
world peace on earth. The desire was there, the efforts of the wise people
were there in every generation, but the history of the world has a record
of non-peace on earth. The sun comes and brings the dawn of light and
then passes on and disappears.
"Now we are inaugurating that time when the sun will be never out.
Every two hours on the globe the sun will rise, and when it is still
healthy it will move on to rise in the next Time Zone and in the next and
the next. This is the theme of administering life on earth from twelve
Time Zone Capitals.
"Today, while inaugurating the perpetual state of world peace,
what becomes very evident to us is that the sun will never set. The whole
globe will present the dawn of the sun. When the sun is still young and in
full brilliance of light the next Time Zone will be welcoming the sun, and
after two hours the next Time Zone, and the next and the next.
"Through that happy vision of the rising sun, the total field of
intelligence is made lively in the eyes of the person and, through the
eyes, in the whole inner intelligence of the body. The total
administrative intelligence of nature is there as the constituent values
of individual life.
"So the sun will never set on earth, and this will be the
expression of perpetual peace on earth, of the perpetual time where
darkness will not be witnessed. The sun will pass on to the other part of
the earth where it is still young—no more the setting sun but the move
of the lighted sun all the time around the world.
"This is that moment of world peace—perpetual peace on earth—that
we are celebrating today. It is a very beautiful time for all mankind in
principle and in practice: the whole population welcoming the sun wherever
it rises. This is Vedic civilization returning, and we are ringing the
bell of that joyful return which will mark the presence of all
possibilities in the eternal light of the sun.
"Peace on the level of human awareness is going to be the normal,
common, perpetual awareness of mankind from here on."
