"You won't reach the higher worlds thinking about that."
Atmananda showed us a poster. It read: "ECSTASY AS A WAY OF LIFE."
Also printed were details about a free lecture series,
"With Atmananda-Dr. Frederick Lenz." But before he sent us
to Manhattan, Atmananda inspired us, told us how to protect ourselves,
how to change.
"Guru's mission," he said in a pacifying voice, "is to bring peace,
light, and bliss into a world that is rapidly heading towards darkness."
I realized that it was largely through Atmananda's lectures, and through
his appearances on radio and television--including a recent appearance
on the Phil Donahue Show--that Chinmoy's mission was being spread.
I felt important that I was a part of the operation.
"Your task is to see where to place the posters so that they
will be noticed by advanced seekers. To do this you will need
to maintain a very high state of consciousness."
We nodded solemnly.
"If you run into religious fanatics, be polite but firm.
Do not let them engage you in conversation."
We nodded again.
"By postering, you are helping Guru bring light into this world.
But Negative Forces will sense this and will try to inject you
with doubts. If you are attacked by the Forces, cry inwardly
to Guru.
