Question: What will happen to Sebastian if he decides to stop telling funny stories?
Sri Chinmoy: If he stops telling funny stories his heart will lose strength and become small, smaller, smallest. Then it will not be able to contain energising, elevating, illumining and fulfilling life. So Sebastian should not and must not give up telling illumining stories. His stories are innocent. They not only give us immortal lessons but also give a spontaneous inner awakening to those who want nothing but progress through pure innocence, pure concern for mankind and pure oneness with mankind on any plane. Sebastian's stories do not bring embarrassment. They bring inspiration; they are a blessing in disguise.
