25 Assiduous
Madal: Chinmoy, I think in India you were an assiduous reader, but here in America you are anything but that.Chinmoy: Madal, you are absolutely right. In India I was a constant and persistent book-reader. Needless to say, my kindhearted God made me that. Now the same kindhearted God has made me, here in the West, a constant and persistent mind-reader. The book-reader in me has made total and unconditional surrender to the mind-reader in me.
