Question: Thank you for being here today. I appreciate the invitation to be part of this. I have deep concerns about my personal life. It seems as if it has been a real roller coaster. It has been very difficult to get balance in my life. I am just wondering if by my presence here with you today, you might be able to give me some guidance in that regard.

Sri Chinmoy: On the strength of our prayers and meditations, we have definitely brought down God’s Compassion, His Light and His Love. My request to you is this: kindly dive deep within and try to have peace, peace of mind. If you have peace of mind, then you will feel that your own Inner Pilot, your Supreme Pilot, is going to illumine you. While He is illumining you, your problems inner and outer will be solved.

My outer advice is of no avail, but our combined prayers and meditations can be of tremendous help to you if you do not allow any thought, even an iota of thought, to enter into your mind. In the silence of your mind your teeming problems can easily be illumined, and thus they can be solved.

After the question-and-answer session, all the guests offered Sri Chinmoy flowers and lit candles while Narada performed a special song he had composed for the occasion, accompanying himself and other singers and musicians on the keyboard. These are the lyrics to the song: “What has happened to me? My candle flame is burning bright. My life has made a change tonight for the better. And we thank you, Sri Chinmoy, for sharing your love today.”

Sri Chinmoy: We do not have to take the trouble of going to Heaven. Narada has brought Heaven down for us!

Sri Chinmoy then meditated on a large golden statue of the Lord Buddha seated in meditation, that Narada had placed on the sloping grounds outside his home. Sri Chinmoy also prayed before a most soulful statue of Mother Mary set into a special outdoor shrine. Then Narada and Kaivalya Torpy from London unveiled the life-size statue of Sri Chinmoy created by Kaivalya, and Sri Chinmoy blessed the sculptor.
