The East Looks at Meher Baba

I. The Silent Awakener

I. Spiritual ICBM

 

We are living in the days of nuclear dynamics and space technology. Sputniks are flying today to challenge the moon. The helium Zeta will challenge the sun tomorrow. The science-brain soars above ultrasonic regions. Scientific intellect has advanced to artificial copying of immortal Nature. Poor science in the hands of the brute in man forges weapons of new danger to humanity. From gun to cannon, from cannon to tank, from tank to bomb, from air bomb to atom bomb, hydrogen bomb, rocket bomb, cosmic ray, cobalt bomb—the weapons of mass murder are ever increasing and ever adding to the egoistic vanity and ambition of the repressive brute in man.

Is there a way out of this tragedy? Yes. It is the application of the spiritual ICBM. What is that? It is INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BELOVED OF MANKIND. It is INNER COMMUNION WITH THE BLISSFUL MASTER—ICBM!
