The Guru of the group
I wanted to telephone New York from my hotel room in Morocco. The telephone operator said to me, “What is your name?”I said, “Ghose.”
Then she asked, “What is your room number?”
I told her. Then the lady said, “The person in that room is not Ghose. It is Chinmoy.”
I said, “Yes, that is my first name.”
She said, “Are you the Guru of the group?”
I said, “Yes, I am the Guru of the group.”
Then she was satisfied and she placed the call for me.
