Diary Entry

by Sri Chinmoy
while in residence at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India

2 February

I said to Nolini-da: "Yesterday at the playground you told us that you were sharing with us your last life experience. I was so sorry to hear that."

"Tell me, what else do I have to write? Have I not completed my life-story?"

"I don't think so. You have not told us about your sports life in your younger days. I have heard so many stories about you as a great football player."

"I see, I see. But you know that in those days there was neither Mohan Bagan nor East Bengal to inspire us. Anyway, I shall try to write about my football and sports capacity."

The Green Light Vanishes

by Sri Chinmoy

 

Am I too slow or is it true that the green light does not last as long as the red light? This morning I was on Main Street. I was waiting and waiting for the red light to turn green. As soon as the green light came, I started walking. But before I had crossed half of the road, it started blinking.
