THE FAMILY AND THE NATION
are ordered with wisdom and that they will turn out well from the spiritual point of view.
We can, moreover, increase the good results by praying to the Power within--by talking to it, having conversations with it--because it is right there, nearer than breathing. It will hear us and provide the wise response. Some people call this praying to God; and it is the same thing, because it is the eternal consciousness. When praying we are making for ourselves a new, constructive destiny to neutralize and offset some of the debts of our past years and lives.
At this stage of writing, one aspect has emerged very clearly. Whereas the progress of the civilizations had brought certain types of material prosperity, it had also brought associated pain for individual, family and society. We would like to elucidate this through a dialogue we had based on our experience:
Kalam: Acharyaji, you are a fount of knowledge who purifies every soul that comes into contact with you. Acharya: Kalam, God bless you for what you have done with your team. God Almighty has a bigger mission for you and that is why you are here with me today. I know our country is a nuclear nation now. The mission for you is greater than what you and your team have done, and it is greater than what any human being has ever done. Kalam: Your suggestions would definitely help pave the way for peace. For at present more than 20,000 nuclear warheads with corresponding delivery systems are threatening humanity. Acharya: The nuclear weapons are proliferating in tens and thousands in the world. I command with all the divine blessings, you and only you, to find a solution for making the same nuclear weapons ineffective, insignificant and politically inconsequential.
