MARCH: A HECTIC MONTH OF CONCERTS AND LECTURES

Sri Chinmoy continued his concert and lecture series at New York universities in March, making 14 public appearances on university campuses or in nearby churches. Excerpts from the Master's talks follow:

State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany (March 4):

“When we pray, our Father-Friend lovingly feeds us. When we meditate, we soulfully feed our Father-Friend. ... Our soulful prayer makes us our Lord’s choice instruments. Our fruitful meditation makes us our Lord's Vision-Voice.”

Union College and University (March 4): 

“The desiring man tells me that human life is full of difficulties. The aspiring man tells me that human life is full of opportunities. The self-giving man tells me that human life is God’s constant Vision-Manifestation.

“Each difficulty discourages and delays our success-life. Each opportunity encourages and expedites our progress-life. Each Vision-Manifestation of God helps us march faster towards our destined Goal.”
