A lot of people think about doing great things and talk about doing great things, but very, very few people actually accomplish the things they set out to do. In Sri Chinmoy’s case he’s determined to succeed. He’s one of those very few people who have been able to do extraordinary things.

Sri Chinmoy has controlled his mind completely. He has conquered his mind totally. It’s like what I would try to do when I would face a wrestling opponent. Sri Chinmoy is using his will to surpass his mind, and he is using his mind to conquer his body. He is putting his thoughts into a higher state to allow him to have a superior capacity.

In an emergency situation people can do this type of superhuman thing. When they are in an emergency, people can do amazing things like lift up cars. It seems that Sri Chinmoy can at will have this kind of experience. At will he can have this state of mind. It’s a state of mind higher than most human beings ever experience except in an emergency situation, when their adrenalin rushes. It’s a state of mind I’ve tried to experience while wrestling with an opponent, that higher state of mind over body. Sri Chinmoy obviously has great control over his thoughts.

I tell you, it’s a lot of weight for a little guy, and he’s made a lot of progress. I find it very impressive.
