... to do their tasks and to obey their teachers. It is unfortunate for I would have liked to avoid all these commonplace measures. P.S. I should confess to you that I felt sad at the use of the atomic bomb . 9 It was too heartless. I should frankly like to know from you, Mother, whether this feeling was right or wrong—for it was a regret felt for the action of the Allies, for those who had stood... not consciously. And it was also mixed with a feeling of sympathy for the Japanese in spite of all their savagery and dark treachery for which this swift retribution has overtaken them. The atomic bomb is in itself the most wonderful achievement and the sign of a growing power of man over the material Nature. But what is to be regretted is that this material progress and mastery is not the result... × Two of the disciple’s children. × An atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945; three days later another was dropped on Nagasaki. ...
... with a face glowing with faith: 1) Since you are at the Helm of affairs and have worked a miracle anent Hitler, it is rational to expect that you will be going on doing so till doomsday. 2) The atomic bomb is going to chasten men ail into sanity as its consequences are too gruesome by half. 3) Since you are doing a wonderful tapasya, the result will be equally wonderful: look at the Japs talking... after Mother’s thought-provoking letter to Prithwi Singh that she cannot promise anybody that “the Divine’s will is to preserve the present human civilisation. “ This she said a propos of the atomic bomb and this must mean, if it means anything, that our idea of human salvation may not square at all with the Divine’s plan.

... so interesting to have a new game here! People played with it, they tried all the ways of using it. From the practical point of view their games were above all applications of this, yes! Even the atomic bomb is yet a way of playing; it is a little macabre but still it is a game. It is not with a clear, definite vision, a plan, an organisation to make the whole thing advance towards the goal, the true ...
... as a rail-terminus and port, regional army headquarters and a major producer of synthetic oil and industrial war-materials. As to the difference between accepted means of destruction and the atomic bomb with its catastrophic radiation effect, the simple truth is that nobody knew beforehand how much damage would be inflicted on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was no conception of its unusually dire ...

And very recently (maybe a day or two ago), they told me that the Chinese had chosen an Indian territory, in the North, to test a certain kind of atomic bomb, and Page 281 that they had exploded a certain bomb there. When they told me this, the memory of my odor abruptly came back. 1 Which means that those vibrations travel very far—the ...
... Germany was covered by the newly-formed Atlantic Alliance; and there was active concern to secure a German contribution Page 67 to the defense of the West. Russia had just acquired the atomic bomb. How far would she now go? The advice which more and more people of influence were giving seemed superficially sound: 'Leave Europe out of these confrontations'. But this neutralist doctrine never ...
... The Atom bomb: what was it really? The Devil's definitive weapon - or, somehow, a hope for the future? When the question was put to her, the Mother wrote dispassionately on 30 August 1945: The Atomic bomb is in itself the most wonderful achievement and the sign of a growing power of man over material nature. But what is to be regretted is that this material progress and mastery is not the result of ...

On the bombardment in Europe there soon followed the explosion of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, while the liberated countries learned with at least as much of a sense of devastation about what happened in the concentration camps. In an instant, a whole town could be destroyed ...

... Princeton University in the United States. It was there, during World War II, that his fellow scientists persuaded him to write to the President of the United States urging the development of the atomic bomb. There was a fear that Germany was already developing it. Einstein did not himself participate in the development of the bomb. It was later discovered that Germany would not succeed in making the ...

It also marked the second Asiad to be held in Japan since the 3rd Asian ...
... phenomenon that releases, at the atom scale, millions times more energy than in the other sources of energies used by mankind. An example of a fission reaction is one that was used in the first atomic bomb and is still used in reactors. Fission is a process that has been occurring in the universe for billions of years. As mentioned above, we have not only used fission to produce energy for nuclear ...

... where he had arrived just after Mother's departure, he discovered an astonishing way to release the atomic energy of most common metals (especially copper and aluminum), which would have made the atomic bomb available to any purse and any madman. He destroyed his notes and left for the Mongolian lamaseries. Through him, science was symbolically being converted to its own tomorrow. All the same, he grumbled ...

And he added, by way of example, 'I shall tell WHERE the atomic bombs will be cropped.'

... them. That is the truth. I have seen other things also, not so pleasant as the one I have just described. For since men have invented—not invented but discovered things they did not know of, atomic bombs and things worse than that and have begun to play with them like babies, it has thoroughly upset the little beings which lived according to their own rhythm of life and were accustomed to habits ...
... the sun is made of, its substance? Yes, Mother. It's a substance in a state of nuclear fusion; like a gigantic and incessant atomic explosion. Oh! It's in a gaseous state. With constant atomic reactions. It's a million times more powerful than the atomic bombs they have exploded on earth, and nonstop. ( long silence Mother laughs ) So of course, if those explosions increase or decrease... explosions have liberated particles.... And I thought they said they were on their way to the earth; but from what you say, they're already here? I didn't see this morning's papers. I'm sure there were atomic particles. Yes. Generally they're stopped by the density of the earth's atmosphere, so they affect only the atmosphere, not the earth itself.... The most immediate consequences are climatic ...
