Claiming Achievements as Our Own

Sri Chinmoy commenting about his 1200-pound lift: When your spiritual father does something, I want you to participate in all my activities. When I do something, I want you to identify yourself with my achievement. My achievement is your achievement. Your achievement is my achievement. I feel it and I know it. When you do something good, great, I claim it as my own, very own. Similarly, I want you also to claim my achievements – I am your spiritual father – as your own, very own.

To lift 1200 pounds is not a joke. I will not advise you to try to lift 1200 pounds. Your oneness with my achievement I always need, the way I identify myself with your achievements, all your achievements, good and great. At that time I get implicit joy. Please feel that you have done some-thing in and through me, according to your desire to identify yourself with me.
