A member of UNESCO has asked a stupid question, something to this effect: "There was a time when India represented the spiritual consciousness" (or "taught the spiritual consciousness," I don't remember now), "but now that she is engaged in such a war, who will play this role?"...[[Here is the exact text of the question: "If India, who held (till recently) the hope for humanity in the light of her spiritual leaders, can get involved in such a war, who would lead the world?" ]] So instead of replying to the question, because I might have told him a thing or two, I answered what you've just read. page 245 - Mother's Agenda , volume 6, 16th Sept - 1965 |
UNESCO want to publish a brochure on "tolerance," and they wrote to K. to ask him for a message from me. So I wrote something (Mother laughs), here it is: "Tolerance is only the first step towards wisdom.They puff themselves up like that, they still think themselves highly superior because they have "tolerance" - and tolerance is looking down on things with contempt. page 283 , Mother's Agenda , volume 10 , 9th Aug - 1969 |
