Question: In our Centre we have meditations on Wednesdays and Sundays. We have a few disciples who come faithfully every Sunday, but they cannot come on Wednesday. One disciple has a family with a young boy, and she has to get across town. You told us that Wednesday is the compulsory meditation night, so I wanted to clarify whether that was all right.

Sri Chinmoy: Every rule admits of exceptions. If one or two disciples cannot come on Wednesday, but they do come on Sunday, that is fine. What can you do? There will always be problems, and then we have to deal with them. If they come regularly on Sunday, that is all right. But if they do not come regularly, then this is not the path for them.
