Function at Aspiration-Ground after the Concert at the UN, 29 August 2007

Sri Chinmoy: Hero! Hero supreme, hero supreme! I am asking my British disciples to arrange a concert by you at the Royal Albert Hall. They will do everything, exactly like last year. It is my invitation: you will be playing in Royal Albert Hall again. I saw the video of your performance there last year. First, I saw it when I was in Mongolia, and then in New York I also saw it.

Each song today brought down Heaven in a special way. Heaven came down each time, after each song, with new, new, new, new blessings, new bless-ings. Each time you performed one song, I saw that very clearly Heaven came down with new blessings, new joy and new pride, new pride. I have been for 37 years serving the United Nations. I have never, never got such joy, believe me. I am telling you absolutely, in all sincerity, never, never! You elevated the body of the United Nations. Then again, the heart of the United Nations embraced you most powerfully. The soul of the United Nations blessed you profusely, profusely. This I am saying because I saw it, I saw it, I saw it. It is not my mental hallucination. This I saw very clearly. The soul blessed you profusely, the heart embraced you most lovingly, and the body of the United Nations you just elevated. I am so proud of you, so proud of you, so proud of you.

You said you are 53 years old. To me you look 23. Really, I mean it. In all sincerity I am telling you that you look 23 years old, not 53 – no, no, no. Such dynamic energy and enthusiasm only a 23-year-old will have! Very great! Very proud of you!

Purushottama: Thank you, Guru. I am learning from you. I am trying to learn.

Sri Chinmoy (at the end of the evening): If there is something called divine pride, divine pride, then I wish to offer it to you. I am offering it to you in infinite measure. I wish to say from my God-realisation, my highest God-realisation, how much I love you, how much I treasure you and how proud I am of you.
