Conversations with the Soul of India

Question (referring to Sri Chinmoy’s recent visit to India to visit his brother Mantu at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram): When you arrive and walk on Indian soil, does the soul of India come to you? Is she delighted to see you?

Sri Chinmoy: That I do not know, but we enjoy our conversation. That much is for sure. On the way between Singapore and India, the flight was three hours, 50 minutes. As far as I remember, after two hours the soul of India came to me full of affection, love, fondness, sweetness and pride. We conversed and conversed.

Then when we started by car from Madras Airport to Pondicherry, my brother Chitta was also there in the inner world. He had so many things to tell me, so many things to ask me. Many times he was asking me not to bargain with the rikshaw wallas, but always to surrender to them, because it was beneath my dignity.

That was my conversation with my brother Chitta. Side by side on the same seat, I was conversing with the Soul of India about the future and all kinds of things. One can do many things. For hours and hours I can converse with them.
