The Mother’s Assurance

Sri Chinmoy told the following story after one of his students spoke about praying to him to help her find a lost key while hiking.

In this case, my disciple prayed to me and found the key. Once upon a time I prayed to the Mother of the Ashram about a key. One day I had to go to a place to do some electrical work. It was three or four miles away. I was alone. I went by cycle, and I locked the cycle and did the needful. Alas, when I was ready to go back, I could not open the lock.

There were five or six other workers. They also tried so hard. Nobody could open it. We struggled and struggled with the lock. We were simply helpless.

In my case, many years earlier than this, in the inner world the Mother gave me the assurance that whenever I was in trouble, to think of her. So I said inwardly to the Mother, “You promised me in the inner world. Let me see if your promise was true.” I touched the lock. I did not even put the key properly inside the lock. The key was still outside. Can you imagine? The lock opened up by itself. This is called the inner connection.

Outwardly, on my birthday, when I was here in America, the Mother wrote to me, “Chinmoy, my love and I shall be with you always, wherever you are. My love and I shall be with you always, wherever you are.”
