Sushumna Screams with Joy

One incident I will never forget. In those days, Alo and I stayed at Sushumna's place. I went to see the Pope, the previous one. We left and we came back at night to London. The following day I was taking a shower. Sushumna from downstairs was screaming, "Guru, Guru, Guru."

What happened? The London newspaper came out that the new Messiah had come. The Pope said the new Messiah had come; he saw him yesterday. Can you imagine? I was taking a shower. Then I came down. She called me from downstairs. That newspaper nobody can find. Can you imagine? She remembers the incident because I was upstairs and she was downstairs. She was screaming because the previous day I met with the Pope at eleven o'clock in the morning. And he was saying that when we die, we would be together, and he was appreciating my work at the UN. He said, "When we die, we shall be together in Heaven." He was telling me.

This one only shows the affection of a grandfather, but that one had so much spirituality. I remember the incident and I was so thrilled. Sushumna was the one who was screaming with joy. My name was not there, but I saw him the day before. They cannot find that newspaper now. She was screaming with joy because she knew the previous day I met with the Pope. Now we cannot prove it. They have tried, they have tried, British. That was very significant.
