Dr. Davis: The Lotus Is Mine!...

Dr. Davis: The lotus is mine! I use the lotus as the symbol of my life. I started to tell you earlier that when I think about my life, I say that I'm rooted in the water.

Sri Chinmoy: My most favourite flower is the lotus.

Dr. Davis: I chose the lotus as a symbol of my life because I want to stay grounded in water with the fluid motion around me. It goes deep. I tell people that I chose it as a symbol of my life because I want to be grounded in my family and God.

Sri Chinmoy: Water means consciousness.

Dr. Davis: When I meditate in the morning, I go to the water.

Sri Chinmoy (offering some books) : For me there is only one religion: love of God. You can be Christian, I can be Hindu, but our love of God is the only religion.
