Some Priests Attend My Harvard Talk
The first time when I went to Harvard, there were some people wearing priests' garments, five of them. Before I started, those so-called priests were harassing me. They came up to me and they said, "What do you know? What do you know?" They harassed me.I said, "Please, please allow me to talk." Then they sat down. Then I gave a talk and answered questions. They became admirers. "Where do you get so much energy from? How did you answer these questions?"
Then I became very 'undivine'. I said, "In your case, once a week you go to church. In my case, I go to my inner church, and Somebody else gives the sermon. So, I listen to Him. I go there every day without fail. Somebody gives a sermon and I listen to Him. So, that is why, because He is the one who gives the sermon in and through me, so I do not become tired."
They said that they gave a talk once a week. Then they became tired. The rest of the week they need rest. These are all my stories.
