Question: You have used the expressions "the Face of God" and "the Smile of God". Is there a particular state of consciousness associated with each of these?

Sri Chinmoy: In “the Face of God”, consciousness tries to inspire and awaken, awaken and inspire. But in ”the Smile of God”, consciousness tries to feed and immortalise the seeker.
