/The Atomic Bomb/ The Atomic bomb is in itself the most wonderful achievement and the sign of a growing power of man over material nature. But what is to be regretted is that this material progress and mastery is not the result of and in keeping with a spiritual progress and mastery which alone has the power to contradict and counteract the terrible danger coming from these discoveries. We cannot and must not stop progress, but we must Page - 48, Words of The Mother, vol -15

Maybe we'll see from another world. (Laughing) It's possible. They have bombs in America and Russia (China hasn't boasted about it, but they may have some too) that can destroy a whole city - one is more than enough, you don't need two. The Russians in particular: a single bomb and a whole city, even the size of London: vroom! Nothing left. (That's the theory, but still, there's always something true in it.) We saw what happened to Hiroshima, it was pretty bad. Well, if that was ten, then what they have now is a thousand - that's the proportion. In other words, they've turned all their intelligence towards destruction. Some say, "It will deter them from fighting." But that's childish! page 425 , Mother's Agenda , volume 3 , 20th Nov. 1962

Now, for great upheavals men want to do without Nature's help. It seems that five nations have atomic bombs, and the bombs of just one of those nations are enough to ... vrrf! destroy the earth. So if all this (because it's new, after all) suddenly gets out of control ... They don't know how long these things can remain in waiting: if all at once they start exploding - can you see that! (laughing) In all the countries, all the bombs going off at the same time! Poor earth. It's worse than a Deluge. All in all, the ways of the Earth were more gentle, Nature was more reasonable. page 245 - Mother's Agenda , volume 5 , 17th Oct 1964

They're very scared of China here, to the point that many people want to make atom bombs; so in desperation, they asked me (the government asked me), "What should we do?..." - I was the last person they should have asked! It's a means of intimidation, but ... China has it, Russia has it, France has it (Mother covers her eyes with her hand when mentioning France), horrible!... I don't know if it's China or America, they have one bomb that's enough to destroy the whole of Paris. page 195 - Mother's Agenda , volume 11 , 16th May - 1970
