_Professor Carse:_ That beautiful poem reminds me of the time, I think you recall also, when you talked to my class at NYU many years ago, I'm embarrassed to say how many, I think twelve or fourteen years ago, on death. And your philosophy of death struck my students with great power. Would you share that with us?

Sri Chinmoy: Yes. For me, life and death are two rooms. When I throw myself into activities, it is life, and afterwards I need rest. When I take rest, it is death. Two rooms I badly need. For some time, I have to work and for some time I have to rest. So, both the rooms are of paramount importance.
