In this book I have tried to present the spontaneity of Sri Chinmoy in repose, the fluidity of conversations without structure, the cadences of his natural speech.
These were the times when he would immerse himself in his theme. It might be after a function or over a meal. A few disciples might happen to be there and sometimes one or other of them would venture a question or make an observation. And then, a kind of magic would ensue.
Sri Chinmoy would begin talking of this and that, what he liked to refer to in the words of Lewis Carroll as 'cabbages and kings'. One topic would invariably lead to another and soon time itself would be forgotten.
Reflections on contemporary world news would be interspersed with spiritual insights, hopes for the future, humorous anecdotes, tragic events and historical moments that he would bring to life with such passion that we could envisage them taking place before our eyes.
It is that magic, that enchantment, that I wish to try to convey in this book.
