They have to believe, and they have to think in a more logical way. Everybody has to be united to save the world. Otherwise, there is no point worrying about Doomsday. We are killing each other already before Doomsday arrives. Since the beginning of Creation, we have never heard that wars are for killing children! It means that our moral standard has been degraded to its lowest point.

Nowadays, if you have killed a person, the judge, the police would arrest you and put you in jail. You have to compensate for the lost life with your own life. However, they are now trying to legalize the massacre, and no one seems to think this is immoral. This is really incredible! I hope the United Nations and the participating countries will keep their minds clearly awake. Otherwise, it is really terrible to put the future of our next generation and the whole world in their hands, and let them decide for us! Do you understand? If they are not enlightened, and incapable of logical thinking, you could imagine how serious the situation is! When there is a cause, there is an effect. God is not going to stand on one side watching them decide the life and death of the people, the children of God. God definitely would not allow it.

Weoften accuse others, "He kills, he is a murderer!" Everybody would scold him, hate him. We are also disgusted by wars, killing. However, murder has now become a natural course, and the murdered victims are babies, infants. This is truly horrible! It is different if it has to be done due to compelling situations. However, they are now doing it openly, without any urgent reason; just because the food rations are insufficient. The babies have to be killed simply to ensure the adults' food ration. I hope abortion is not legalized. Try our best to think of a way, and don't let this happen.

We can write to them, in about the same content of my speech today. Each of us may accordingly write 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 will listen 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. It is strange! I don't know what the people of the world are thinking. They cannot solve even such a simple problem.

Actually if we just are kind to each other, live a very clean and pure life, there shouldn't be any problem. They shouldn't worry about killing the children inside the mother's womb just to prevent hunger. This is not a very appropriate thing to do. Even though, according to some of the spiritual masters and according to what I know, sometimes the spirit does not come inside the body of the fetus until the baby is born. But still the body belongs to a spirit and he is going to come down, and it is very sad to have no body to come into. Sometimes the spirit comes in already within the pregnancy, sometimes the spirit comes after the pregnancy, like in my case...

... so it is said, not every case of abortion is involved in killing a fully conscious person. That's definite. But we never know, the doctor never knows who is a fully conscious person inside, who is not yet fully conscious. You see, they cannot see that kind of light and besides the child inside doesn't always radiate light. Yes, so therefore, abortion is not recommended. It's not very good for human development and it is against our conscience, and it will punish us the whole life when we think about that.

Q. What do you think of abortion, and when do you think that the soul enters the body?

M. Oh, you shouldn't have abortion. There is no question about when the 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 the body. When you want to have an abortion, you have killing tendencies already, and this is what we have to uproot. We have to cultivate compassion and wisdom and not lean toward the negative side of our nature. The more we lean there, the lower we become, the more we will be dragged down. You should also cultivate meditation and 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 leave and come back again! So you never know when the soul is there or not. Even if the soul is not there yet, we already have this killing tendency, killing our own flesh and blood, and that is not good. If you kill an enemy or a fierce animal you have at least the excuse to protect yourself. But if you kill an innocent soul, don't ask... killing an innocent soul is not good. Please do not have such an idea, degrading yourself. Whatever difficult situation arises you can make it. Pray to God, find a solution, or give the child to an orphan organisation. There are many couples in the world who want babies, they can adopt a baby. So do not have such an idea.
