The saint19
After I had run 400 metres more, I saw a group of boys standing opposite one of my disciples’ houses. One white boy was so excited to see me running. “Oh, Sri Chinmoy!” he said.A black boy said, “No good, he takes away everybody’s money.”
The white boy said, “No, my father said he is a saint like our Christian saints. He never charges any money.”
I didn’t want to enter into their conversation, so I just kept going.
