The little girl who wouldn't move³⁶

I went to Dan Lurie’s exercise store with Dhanu to buy some exercise equipment. A black gentleman came up to me, practically with folded hands, and asked with such respect, “Are you Sri Chinmoy?”

I said, “Yes.”

He was so excited. He was telling his six or seven-year-old daughter, “That is Sri Chinmoy! That is Guru Sri Chinmoy!”

His daughter felt shy, so she stayed in one corner of the store while I was taking exercise on an exercise machine. After ten minutes she came over to watch me. Then she wouldn’t move. She was standing so near me, looking and looking at my eyes for ten minutes, with her eyes wide open. Dhanu couldn’t figure out why she wouldn’t move.
