In early May 1979, Sri Chinmoy and his disciples practised cycling mornings and evenings in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, in training for the Pepsi-Cola Bicycle Marathon. After cycling, Sri Chinmoy would usually hold a short meditation and, at times, deliver short prayer-messages.

 

In You, in Me

My Sovereign Lord, I and my life are two tiny drops. You and Your Compassion are two vast oceans.

In me Your Heart, Your Soul and Your Heaven-Existence are struggling. In You my heart, my soul and my earth-existence are blossoming.

Only Two Things

My Lord Supreme, I feel I need many things to please You. Do You agree?

“No, My child, I do not agree. You need only two things: a heart of obedience and a life of sincerity.

"Your heart of obedience will perfect the human in you. Your life of sincerity will fulfil the divine in you.

“My child, you need only two things, only two things, only two things.”
