29 Banal

Madal: Chinmoy, have you ever bored your audiences with banal talks?

Chinmoy: Madal, I am sure I have done it quite a few times, if not each time I give a talk at a university or some other place. But, thanks to the unconditional kindness and forgiveness of my audience, nobody — not even once — has told me that my talk was uninspiring, commonplace and devoid of originality.
