14 April

Amrita-da said to me: "Chinmoy, I understand that Nolini has said much about me in his class. I am quite eager to know from your lips whether this is true."

"I am so sorry, I did not go to his class," I said.

"Why?" asked Amrita.

"I wanted to, but he didn't give me permission."

"That means he thinks that you know French well."

"No, it is the other way around, as far as I can tell. His students know French far better than I do and I would only create unnecessary trouble for him. That is why he does not want me to attend his French class."

"I am sure you have taken the divine attitude and are not upset at all."

"Of course, Amrita-da, I know that Nolini-da always knows what is best for me." I told Amrita-da that I would get firsthand information from a most reliable student and bring him the news about what Nolini-da had said about him.

"Chinmoy, whether I deserve it or not is one thing, but still I am eager to know it."
