Question: America gained her independence two hundred years ago. What will the spiritual independence of America be like?
Sri Chinmoy: America gained her independence two hundred years ago by virtue of determined will power. Now her spiritual independence will be founded upon her conscious oneness with God, and this can be established only on the strength of her implicit surrender to God’s divine Dispensation and Will.
