Nolini-da said to me: "Chinmoy, did you enjoy the story of Amrita's life?"

I said to him: "I enjoyed it a great deal."

Nolini-da said: "I am sure everybody learned much from it."

"Chinmoy, can you go and bring my new sandals from Govinda Raj? I think they are ready."

I went to Govinda Raj's shop, but the sandals were not ready. However, it was not his fault; his workers had unnecessarily delayed. Of course, they didn't know they were Nolini-da's sandals; otherwise, they would have done them as soon as possible. When I brought his sandals, Nolini-da complimented Govinda Raj's work.

Sri Chinmoy’s Talk

before the Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart programme
in Athens, Greece

 

In my heart-garden today I am seeing a few most beautiful and most soulful flowers. I cannot go to Yugoslavia, but Yugoslavia’s soul and heart have come to me. And for that, my heart’s boundless love and gratitude and my soul’s infinite blessings and compassion I am offering to my spiritual children who are now here from Yugoslavia.

From this moment on, I shall grow in the very depths of your aspiration-heart every day, and every moment the beauty and fragrance of your hearts will please our Lord Beloved Supreme. I am extremely happy to have you all in our boat, the Golden Boat. And this boat will without fail carry all of us to the Golden Shore.

Once more, to each of you my heart of love and my life of gratitude I am offering.
