Safe

Safe

My father is a diplomat in the German Government, and every three years my parents have to move to a different country. Once they told me that soon they were supposed to leave Czechoslovakia to go to the Sudan, where there was a war going on. My mother was terribly frightened, and I also was worried. I wrote to Sri Chinmoy telling him the situation, adding, "…and if it is not absolutely God's Will, please send them to another country." A few days later, there was an escalation of the bombing in the Sudan, and the German Government decided to reduce the number of personnel in its Embassy. There was no job left for my father. Instead he was sent to Moscow. Soon after that decision, the bombing in the Sudan subsided and they expanded the Embassy personnel again, but it was already too late to hire my father. When I told Guru, he said, "Moscow…hmm… safe, quite safe."
