(While the song was performed, Sri Chinmoy offered a gift to Mr. Matsumoto and, in return, Mr. Matsumoto presented a plaque to Sri Chinmoy.)Mr. Matsumoto: Thank you very much. I am very grateful. Before I left for Shikoku, a friend of mine told me about a man who lives in the heart as I do, and my friend invited me to go to a concert to see this man. While Sri Chinmoy performed on 10 different instruments at Bunka Geijutsu Kaikan Hall, I was deeply moved. It was a most mystical experience for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, I feel that the lives of the Japanese people are maybe a little too hectic and a little too busy. It is necessary for us to meditate inwardly once in a while to transform ourselves.
I am truly delighted to have Sri Chinmoy here with us as our special guest today. Transcending all nationalities, we are one in heart and soul.
Sri Chinmoy, Japan, my life bows to your heart, Agni Press, 1984
