Question: How can America make the most spiritual progress and how can America be of most service to the world?
Sri Chinmoy: America can make more spiritual progress if it can feel that it has been selected as a choice instrument of the Supreme, for the Supreme. America can serve the world most provided America feels that the service it renders to the community of nations is nothing but its own illumining and self-fulfilling expansion.
