The Healing Heart


Sri Chinmoy was visiting Melbourne in 1984 to give a Peace Concert, and I had the honour of driving him around. We were doing some shopping and going to a restaurant. Upon our return to the car, I accidentally got my arm caught in the door as it was being closed. A loud "crack" was heard as the metal frame bore down against my forearm. I immediately said to myself, "My God, it's broken!"
Everyone in the car except Guru expressed concern. Guru, on the other hand, turned quickly with an intense and penetrating look on his face and said nothing until I sat down in the driver's seat. He was very sweet and quietly asked, "Is it all right?"
I replied, "It's fine, Guru," and indeed it was. Everyone was astonished.
All this happened within the space of about 10 seconds and then we drove away to another shopping appointment, as I basked in the experience of a heart filled with gratitude.
