Secondly, once you accept that religions have been the cause of poverty, you can find in what ways they have kept humanity poor. They are against birth control. They are against abortion. They are against the pill, and the pill is the...

And religions have been teaching against the pill, against the birth control, against abortion, and the world population goes on growing. That means poverty goes on growing. Thirty years before, when I started speaking for birth...

Now fifty percent of India is just surviving, almost on the verge of becoming another Ethiopia any day. Who is responsible? The Hindu priest, the Buddhist priest, the Jaina priest, the Christian missionaries -- all...

By the end of this century, the world will have five billion people. Right now there are four billion people. Already half of the world is starving. With five billion people you will have every day millions of people dying around. It is going to become a...

One billion people can live really comfortably and luxuriously on this earth. Secondly, there is no need for nations. It is simply out of date, the whole idea. Nuclear weapons have made it out of date. Q:* SO, WE HAVE REALLY ONE GLOBAL VILLAGE AND SHOULD ACT AS ONE? A:* Yes. That's...

Though the Father does not personally create the evolutionary universes, he does control them in many of their universal relationships and in certain of their manifestations of physical, mindal, and spiritual energies.
