Question: How can I be God's child and how can I be God's soldier?
Sri Chinmoy: You can be God's child if you know how to offer a cry of gratitude to God inside your heart. You can be God's soldier if you know how to offer a smile of fortitude to God inside your soul. Try, you can and you will succeed.
