stop ABORTIONThey have to believe, and they have to think in a morelogical way. Everybody has to be united to save the world. Otherwise,there is no point worrying about Doomsday. We are killing eachother already before Doomsday arrives. Since the beginning ofCreation, we have never heard that wars are for killing children!It means that our moral standard has been degraded to its lowestpoint.
Nowadays, if you have killeda person, the judge, the police would arrest you and put you injail. You have to compensate for the lost life with your own life.However, they are now trying to legalize the massacre, and noone seems to think this is immoral. This is really incredible!I hope the United Nations and the participating countries willkeep their minds clearly awake. Otherwise, it is really terribleto put the future of our next generation and the whole world intheir hands, and let them decide for us! Do you understand? Ifthey are not enlightened, and incapable of logical thinking, youcould imagine how serious the situation is! When there is a cause,there is an effect. God is not going to stand on one side watchingthem decide the life and death of the people, the children ofGod. God definitely would not allow it.
Weoften accuse others, "Hekills, he is a murderer!" Everybody would scold him, hatehim.We are also disgusted by wars, killing. However, murder has nowbecome a natural course, and the murdered victims are babies,infants. This is truly horrible! It is different if it has tobe done due to compelling situations. However, they are now doingit openly, without any urgent reason; just because the food rationsare insufficient. The babies have to be killed simply to ensurethe adults' food ration. I hope abortion is not legalized. Tryour best to think of a way, and don't let this happen.
We can write to them, in aboutthe same content of my speech today. Each of us may accordinglywrite to the United Nations, to the President of the United States,and the relevant nations. Request them to find another solution,instead of employing this undesirable method! Perhaps they willlisten to our advice, perhaps not. I hope they will listen. Otherwise,even if we kill all the children to save the adults from starving,the retribution of the karma incurred would be even worse. Itis strange! I don't know what the people of the world are thinking.They cannot solve even such a simple problem.
..... Actuallyif we just are kind to each other, live a very clean and purelife, there shouldn't be any problem. They shouldn't worry aboutkilling the children inside the mother's womb just to preventhunger. This is not a very appropriate thing to do. Even though,according to some of the spiritual masters and according to whatI know, sometimes the spirit does not come inside the body ofthe fetus until the baby is born. But still the body belongs toa spirit and he is going to come down, and it is very sad to haveno body to come into. Sometimes the spirit comes in already withinthe pregnancy, sometimes the spirit comes after the pregnancy,like in my case...
... so it is said, not every case of abortionis involved in killing a fully conscious person. That's definite.But we never know, the doctor never knows who is a fully consciousperson inside, who is not yet fully conscious. You see, they cannotsee that kind of light and besides the child inside doesn't alwaysradiate light. Yes, so therefore, abortion is not recommended.It's not very good for human development and it is against ourconscience, and it will punish us the whole life when we thinkabout that.
..... Q. What do you think of abortion, and when do you thinkthat the soul enters the body?
M.Oh, you shouldn't have abortion. There is no question about whenthe soul enters the body, but it is a question about evil thinking,killing tendency. Understand? That is what we should abolish,the killing tendency. No need to ask me when the soul enters thebody. When you want to have an abortion, you have killing tendenciesalready, and this is what we have to uproot. We have to cultivatecompassion and wisdom and not lean toward the negative side ofour nature. The more we lean there, the lower we become, the morewe will be dragged down. You should also cultivate meditationand then one day you will also know when the soul enters the womb.There is no definite time, it enters when it enters. It may leaveand come back again! So you never know when the soul is thereor not. Even if the soul is not there yet, we already have thiskilling tendency, killing our own flesh and blood, and that isnot good. If you kill an enemy or a fierce animal you have atleast the excuse to protect yourself. But if you kill an innocentsoul, don't ask... killing an innocent soul is not good. Pleasedo not have such an idea, degrading yourself. Whatever difficultsituation arises you can make it. Pray to God, find a solution,or give the child to an orphan organisation. There are many couplesin the world who want babies, they can adopt a baby. So do nothave such an idea.
