Sri Chinmoy

Everest-Aspiration Sri Chinmoy Traveller edition

During the first twenty days of July 1977, Sri Chinmoy delivered one hundred short talks. These talks were given at his public esraj performances, at picnics, even at a local high school playground after morning sports practice.

In very few ways, though, can these pieces really be called talks. They contain a rhythmic, almost musical quality more like blank verse than prose. More importantly, they express a flow of ideas so subtle and melodic that they cry out to be felt and assimilated on an intuitive plane. Before speaking, Sri Chinmoy would enter into a high meditative state and then speak extemporaneously.

These talks, then, are expressions of a state of consciousness far beyond the mind's reach\: short, illumining bursts of light from the Master's boundless Realisation-Sun.
