You know what was the nicest thing for me about Sri Chinmoy’s weightlifting anniversary celebration? When we were on the stage, I looked up into the audience and every pair of eyes met mine! It felt like there wasn’t even one stranger out there, like I knew everybody … a big family! That really says a lot for Sri Chinmoy.

If you can go beyond your fears and turn your palms up, faith will make everything work out. It’s great to feel whole. I guess that’s what Sri Chinmoy is teaching you all.

Please tell Sri Chinmoy that last night was one of the most enjoyable evenings I’ve ever had. I really appreciate everything he did for us and is doing for the world.
