And... splicing the two sets of quotes together, it reads as follows:-
"My own Self as Representatives of East and West! We are here today to find a solution for a complicated problem of existence, confronting the whole humanity of the civilised world - the problem of safety of life, of love, protection, peace and happiness: not only of individuals but of the whole creation and of nature too. All the creatures are sprung from God, the Great Father. Man is probably the polished son of God. And so unto him the great responsibility. Man must be sensible enough to look to the protection of life on earth, the precious property of the Great Father. Vegetarianism is a direct means to this, is the claim of this World Vegetarian Congress. True it is. Accepted that Vegetarianism leads man for all Good. Accepting all values of Vegetarianism, the question arises how we are going to establish it. How are we going to change the 'Killing world' of today into a non-killing world of tomorrow? How are we going to change the spirit of killing, the spirit of aggression, the spirit of violence into the spirit of kindness and love - overflowing love for the whole creation? How are we going to change hardness and cruelty of heart to softness and overflowing love for everybody? Through platform speaking? No, it is not possible. Through outer suggestions? No, it is not possible. Through singing the values and glories of Vegetarianism into the ears of the non-vegetarians? No, because their ears may recive the message but the hardness of their heart will repel it.... 'Suggestive knowledge? Suggestions from outside do not much change the man.. 'Speaking does not go a long way to change a man. All the great religions of the world have been speaking for it from time immemorial - Eternal Vedas have been speaking of it, Holy Bible has been speaking of it, Holy Koran has been speaking of it, yet the killer kills. The killer knows that he is killing and in return he will be killed. The sinner knows that he is committing a sin and that he will be punished for it. Not that he does not know. He knows it. But, with this information, the cruel is not afraid - his cruelty is hardened still. The killer declares his action is the role of a saviour, he kills in the name of life, he kills in the name of saving life, he kills in the name of maintaining life. He kills and murders ruthlessly in the name of protection and peace. 'In the name of world peace and protection have been waged the deadliest of wars. In the name of peace and protection are preparations being made for the murder of man and creation. Shame to the greatness of the human intelligence which fails to recognise the Judge Supreme! 'Our task of the day is to find a cure for this major ill of humanity. The heart of man is so changed. The inner man has to be transformed.. A direct experience of the Blissful nature of Soul and the inner man is completely transformed. The mind, experiencing the Great Bliss, feels satisfaction and this satisfaction of the mind results in right understanding and virtuous action, kindness, love and compassion for all.... ... I declare that the experience of the Blissful Nature of the soul is not at all difficult. It is easy of attainment by one and all... Without much elaborating the glories of Divine experience I invite you all to my Spiritual Development Camp at Mylapore to have the direct experience of the Divine through simple, easy and effective methods of meditation which directily leads the mind to the glorious realm of the Divine..."
