100-Mile-Race Experiences

I was watching the 100-mile race at Shea Stadium when Cahit saw me. He walked to the sprinkler and washed his hands. Then he came over and shook hands with me and said, "Sri Chinmoy, it is so nice to see you here." He was one of the runners, but he came to a complete stop and washed his hands so he could shake hands with me.

When Nathan saw me, he said, "Sri, I have something to tell you. I am studying your books."
