 Be brave in promoting protection and peace His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi offered a warning to the world press that they are responsible for their role in promoting, through their reporting, the killing and destruction promoted by their governments-and they will reap the effects. Maharishi's comments came during a global news conference held last Wednesday at the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast. Maharishi described the press as "mature minds" and "the thinkers of the nation" whose words shape public opinion. However, Maharishi said, the press can't hide behind words like "objectivity" and "subjectivity" in what they promote. "If you promote destruction-subjectively or objectively or in whatever manner-you promote sin, you promote hell-whether for your country, for your family, for yourself, or for the world. Just by being 'objective,' you won't save yourself from going to hell," Maharishi said. He added that in the name of objectivity it is not enough to say, "'A fire is there.' You have to get some water to put the fire out. Don't fool around in these words. They will not save you from sin." "As you sow, so shall you reap " Maharishi said that each member of the press has to make a choice-to promote destruction, or to promote protection and peace. "Be brave in promoting peace-be brave in promoting good things," Maharishi said. "'Objective' and 'subjective'-these words will not protect you. 'As you sow, so shall you reap.' You can amuse the worldly man with your words, but you can't fool the omnipresence of the Will of God with your logic, so don't think that way. Be sincere-be simple." |
