The last time I visited him at the Ashram, he put his hands on my shoulders. I said, “Why are you not blessing me?”
Hriday said, “Oh no, I cannot bless you. You have conquered the heart of America. One day you will conquer the heart of the whole world. But you will be disappointed and disgusted, and then you will come back to the Himalayas. There you will spend the rest of your life.” I shall remain eternally grateful to Hriday. If he had not brought us to the Ashram, who knows what would have happened? And again, how many times the Mother referred to him as “Chinmoy’s eldest brother.” Mantu also became “Chinmoy’s elder brother.”From:Sri Chinmoy,The Path of my Inner Pilot, Agni Press, 2015
