I had such confidence! I said to myself, “I am not doing anything wrong. He cannot be chasing me.” But for about fifteen minutes the police car was following behind me. I looked in the rear-view mirror, and the police were behind me.
Once more I assured myself, “I am sure I am not doing anything wrong. I do not have to worry. They are not thinking of me, only they happen to be behind me.”
Then at one point I looked again, and the police car had disappeared. They were no longer following me. They had turned of somewhere. So I said to myself, “If you have the confidence that you have your license, your registration and your insurance, and your car is in good condition, then there is no need to worry!”
29 March 2002, Sri Chinmoy Centre
Sri Chinmoy’s busy schedule of various appointments necessitated him being driven to events rather than driving himself. In that way he could use the time preparing for the event. He had two official drivers. When he was home in the New York area, he would usually have his personal secretary, Ranjana, drive him. When he was on annual winter retreats overseas, he had Savyasachi drive him. Additionally, when he was on concert and lecture tours in Europe, he would have Kailash drive him.
↩In the years following 2000, Sri Chinmoy took to once again driving himself locally from time to time, usually to the races put on by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, which were nearby. It gave his students a thrill to unexpectedly see him drive by, for example, in his economical little Chevy Aveo.↩
