I remember, years ago, when I first came to Mount, Washington
I'd never thought of this before.
I don't remember learning it in my former, religious, affiliation.
But from the moment I set foot in Mount, Washington,
Master taught us, at the end of our meditations, to pray for people.
Always we closed our meditation, forgetting ourselves, having communed with God, then to pray for mankind.
Years later, he thought of this, what we call, the Worldwide Prayer Council;
and, we established that principle in all of our centers, and among our members throughout the world.
Now thought has tremendous power, because out of thought, all action springs;
and everything that is finite in this world is the result of thought.
Therefore the most powerful force in this world is thought.
Therefore if that be true, then thought has the power to affect lives;
and not only lives, but communities and nations; and if this be so,
it is important that that thought be positive, rather than negative.
There are millions of people in this world who are thinking in a negative way,
and are also acting in a negative way, isn't it?
Therefore, it is in the interest of ourselves and in the interest of mankind,
that we all take an active part in praying for mankind.
That powerful vibration, of the combined thought, of goodness and of love,
and of kindness, and compassion, and positive behavior, is a mighty force,
which has the power to change lives, all over this world;
and so I urge all of you, this evening,
and all of those who may hear, my voice, in the future,
to join, in that worldwide, pursuit, of God, God communion, of prayer;
that we might, contribute our part, toward changing,
the world, and the course which it is bent upon taking.
We can do it.
One voice, the voice of Christ, uttered centuries ago, picked up by a handful of disciples,
and those disciples spreading it to other disciples, and down through the ages,
2000 years almost to, that one voice was able to transform millions upon millions of people all over this world.
Shall we not join, his voice, and the voice of our guru,
and the voice of the teachers of all, religions, all of those good, saintly souls;
and contribute our part, toward striving to change the course of this world?
We can and we must do it and we must have the faith to believe it can be done, because I know it can be done;
but each one of you here, I tell you, each one of you must do your part.
Don't think "Well, I heard Daya Ma, she spoke well. Now, let me get back."
That will have no meaning.
My voice, my hope, is to touch the very core of your beings, with this thought:
Change your lives, by following these, simple suggestions, given by Guruji.
Join, everyday, in this vast, loosely knitted, but strong, family,
of individuals praying for the well-being of the world, and for the well-being of every individual.
