Sri Chinmoy speaks about Sudha

[Sri Chinmoy speaks about Sudha (Carmen Maria Suro) to the first group of disciples of the AUM Centre, 659 Miramar Avenue, San Juan, Puerto Rico, on July 20, 1966.]

She is here. It is God's Plan. We did not know each other on the physical plane, but we have known each other for centuries. I am aware of it and now she is becoming aware of the fact, because I am making her feel and realise our previous connection. This connection was that we were fully acquainted in India, that we knew each other, that she aspired for the spiritual heights and that I assisted her spiritually. It is only on the strength of our previous connection that we could become spiritually so close.

On the physical plane, I think we have not known each other even for a year. Even this was through correspondence. It is not even a year. I stay in New York and through circumstances, which came from the Supreme's Will, we met.

Alo's sister, Marcia (Gariyasi), had met Sudha in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. She told Sudha about Alo who was in India at the time. Sudha asked Gariyasi to inform her whenever Alo returned to Canada. Gariyasi informed Alo in Pondicherry, also.

When we returned to the West, and had begun publishing our AUM magazine, Alo wrote to Sudha, enclosing the third issue of the magazine, the orange-coloured issue. Sudha wrote to Alo, saying that she was profoundly moved by Sri Chinmoy's writings and asking for a year's subscription. She got the magazine; she concentrated on me and I concentrated on her.

After one or two telephone conversations, Sudha invited me to come to Puerto Rico and address a number of very serious seekers who had been involved in the spiritual life for many, many years. Most of them were Sudha's friends and fellow-seekers.

Sudha: And you are here, divine Gurudev. It is God's sublime Grace to us.
