398. Dear Naren

Dear Naren,
    Did America love you?
“That I don’t know, Chinmoy,
But I loved America and forever shall love America.”

Dear Naren,
    Did America satisfy you?
“That I don’t know, Chinmoy,
But I satisfied America beyond her imagination.”

Dear Naren,
    What will be the fate of America?
“Chinmoy, I love you and bless you
For asking me such a divine question.
You know, brother,
America’s fate is exactly the way
    You and your Supreme see it.
America’s fate is exactly the way
    You and your Supreme feel it.
America’s fate is exactly the way
    You and your Supreme shape it.”
