The Kind-Hearted Policeman
This is about a very kind-hearted policeman. Yesterday I was walking along Union Turnpike quite close to the sidewalk, but in the street. I had covered a little over three miles.A very kind-hearted policeman came very close to me. I thought, “O my God, what am I doing wrong here?”
He said to me very kindly, “Are you tired?”
I said, “A little bit.”
Then he said, “Do you mind walking on the sidewalk?”
I said, “Certainly.” So I went up onto the sidewalk.
Then very loudly he said to me, smiling, “Thank you!”
I said to myself, “See, kind-hearted policemen exist!”
Otherwise, we sometimes hear unkind things about the police. Here he was so kind. The police in our neighborhood are always very, very kind to us. Our disciples are on very good terms with the police. Whenever our Enterprises call them about a problem, they are very helpful. I had even honoured several policemen with the “Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart” Award. Also, over the years I have had two or three disciples who are members of the police.
