Part X — Informal conversation on weightlifting

• Student: It seems that you are able to manifest spirituality much more on the outer plane through weightlifting than through other activities such as running.

• Student: Which group of athletes has the better consciousness — bodybuilders or runners?
• Student: For people who do not like running or have some kind of injury, is it better to work out with weights than not to do anything?
• Student: A lot of runners do weightlifting to enhance their running, specially elite runners.
• Student: Many bodybuilders appreciate the lifts that you are doing, but weightlifters on the whole do not seem to be as receptive.
• Student: Are you affected in any way by the heavy weights?
• Student: Who will ultimately appreciate your feats more — weightlifters or bodybuilders?
• Student: Instead of using aggressive qualities, if weightlifters try to use a divine approach, could weightlifting become a positive avenue for progress?
• Student: Guru, would you prefer to watch a bodybuilding contest or an Olympic weightlifting contest? Which one gives you more real joy?

• Student: Which is harder to lift — a 300-pound weight or a person who weighs 300 pounds?
• Student: What is the deeper significance of your weightlifting?
