When I Walk Alone

When I was on 150th Street, right near my house, I saw a middle-aged lady with a huge dog. She said, "I have not seen you for a long time, Sri Chinmoy. Where have you been? How are you?"

I could not recognise her at all, but she recognised me and started talking to me. Then she said, "It is so nice to see you." She was very, very kind to me.

This happens when I walk alone. When I take my guards with me, people get frightened and nobody comes to talk to me.
