Yoga and Life

> True yoga and life go together. Do not try to separate them. If you want to separate them, you will fail. Yoga and life are as inseparable as the Creator and His Creation.

> — Sri Chinmoy

During the early 1970s, Sri Chinmoy was interviewed a number of times on WBAI, a public FM radio station in New York City, for a programme called "In the Spirit". This was a weekly inspirational show hosted by Lex Hixon and produced by Paul Gorman. This highly influential two-hour programme introduced many people to spiritual Guides and Masters from all religious and spiritual traditions and was considered unprecedented in its depth, scope, insight and creativity. Hixon himself wrote: "This endeavour involved a tremendous amount of fieldwork in newly emerging American spiritual consciousness, as well as an opportunity to meet the finest representatives of world-traditions who visited New York City." Over a period of thirteen years, Hixon's guests included Pir Vilayat Khan, the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa and many other prominent spiritual teachers. Sri Chinmoy was the very first guest on the programme, first appearing in the spring of 1971, when he gave the following talk and answered questions from the hosts.
