The Bliss of the Heart
Sri Chinmoy made the following comments while visiting The Bliss of the Heart ice cream shop and restaurant in Guatemala City on 1 July 2005.When he was visiting America, Swami Vivekananda became extremely fond of ice cream. Once he went to a restaurant with six or seven of his students when it was very, very cold. Before he placed the order, he asked the restaurant to please supply them with ice cream first. The restaurant could not believe he was asking for ice cream before the proper meal. He said that yes, we love ice cream more than we love the meal. So, the restaurant gave ice cream first.
I am also fond of ice cream. The name of your divine enterprise is The Bliss of the Heart. Your ice cream is sweeter than the sweetest. I am inspired to compose a song dedicated to your enterprise.
Sri Chinmoy spontaneously composed and taught all present a song entitled “The Bliss of the Heart.”19
