Editor's introduction

On October 29, 1976, Sri Chinmoy answered several spiritual questions put to Him by His Puerto Rican disciples at Isla Verde International Airport. Such a boon was entirely unexpected, as it was brought about by circumstances which altered the Guru’s travel arrangements. He was left with two hours to spare before His flight left, and was kind enough to request each disciple present to ask him a spiritual question. No recording equipment was present at the time.

Sri Chinmoy’s answers to the questions contained within this booklet have been transcribed from the notes taken by the disciples themselves, and have been submitted to the careful scrutiny of all those present at the Airport gathering to ensure, to the best of our ability, the exactness of the quotations attributed to the Master.

The God-Realised Indian Guru expressed His desire that these elevated answers be printed, for the benefit of the countless spiritual seekers who will be able to benefit enormously from His deep insights and exalted knowledge of the Highest Truth, which are readily apparent to all in whom the soul has felt the coming of the Chosen Hour of God.

It is with the deepest brotherly love that the Puerto Rican Sri Chinmoy Centres offer this Airport elevation to humanity’s ever-growing aspiration song and place this tiny labour of love at the Holy Feet of the Master.
