To the Nations of the World

by Paramhansa Yogananda, Inner Culture, 1937

Why do worldly suffering and world-misery arise? When people all over the earth are happy and prosperous, they are in tune with God, and the entire vibrations of the earth in relation with the planets are harmonious. But as soon as one nation starts fighting with another, or the selfish industrial gourmands try to devour all prosperity for themselves, it brings about depression. And when depression starts in one place, it starts everywhere, due to the vibrations that travel through the ether from one place to another.

Ye nations of the world, beware! National selfishness, disregarding international well-being, will bring national as well as international disaster. The nations of the earth should work harmoniously to destroy nature-created calamities of disease, floods, poverty, sickness, and earthquakes.

Man should not add to the natural calamities by creating avoidable calamities of poverty, lack, suffering, and death due to wars. It is evident that self-created calamities and wrong vibrations of war and industrial selfishness bring about natural calamities.

Let us eradicate all wrong, misery-producing sense of false patriotism. Let us establish in every world-citizen the true international patriotism of brotherhood, peace, mutual good will, and the consideration of mutual mental, hygienic, industrial, social, scientific, philosophical, moral, and spiritual progress and happiness.
