Arabic card

Deep satisfaction
I was distributing books in Kumeu and stopped a cool looking girl, who said "no" straightaway and got into a car near where I was distributing. Shortly afterward a man joined her in the car, and he sat and watched me. I stopped a man with a few kids, who was in a hurry.

Happy customers
While walking from the parking lot to the campus, I requested some help from a student. He pushed the trolley uphill. While going up, during the course of our conversation, I showed him the Science of Self Realization. He then opened his bag and showed me his copy of the same book.
