Meditation

SRI CHINMOY: If you would like, I can meditate with you for two or three minutes and bring down peace and light-if you want, but not against your will.

DON PABLO: Of course, I would be delighted. (Don Pablo and Sri Chinmoy sit facing each other.) I must understand every word you say.

DON PABLO: Yes, I understand. Now I have the idea of playing on the cello. (Don Pablo plays a beautiful piece of music on the cello.)

SRI CHINMOY: I am so grateful to you for playing. For the first time in my life I am hearing you play. Before, I only heard from other people about your music, but now my soul, my heart, my mind-everything-has heard you play, and for that I am very grateful. You are the real creator of music, and to the creator I offer my deepest love and gratitude. You are an eternal child of God. Each time you play on your instrument, it is a new creation-you create God and manifest God in a unique way. Each time you touch your cello, you bring a new life into existence. And this life is the divine Life that comes directly from Heaven through your music.
