Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

11 June 1967

(Regarding the Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt)

Dearest Mother,

Not at all with an eye to publication but for my own knowledge, may I ask you two questions:

(1) The quick conclusion of the war in the Middle East and the avoidance thereby of the serious world-situation which was all the time threatening to develop — could one regard this as the first instance this year of the Supramental Power’s decisive action upon the minds of men and the course of events?

Do you believe that what you think about it has the slightest importance?

(2) One of the world-problems has been whether the existence of Israel would be firmly established or not. The Arab countries had sworn to exterminate Israel from Palestine. Now the Israel victory will call for a final acceptance of her existence by all and the assurance of a life-line for her in the Gulf of Aqaba. Could one regard this turn of events as the Divine’s grace to her — of course for non-political reasons?

Israël as a nation has the same right to exist as all the other nations.
