Interviewer: Well, you have lifted some incredible weights! Today, on our show, Sri Chinmoy will lift his own bodyweight with one hand — an amazing, amazing feat! What goes through your mind when you lift a weight? Do you chant a mantra? Do you pray?

Sri Chinmoy: While lifting up my bodyweight, I do not think of anything. I just completely shut my mind. In my mind there will be no thought whatsoever. I focus my concentration only on the weight. There is no thought in utmost concentration. Then, with the power of concentration, I try to lift up the weight.
