Question: When you lift those incredibly heavy weights, do you feel that you are lifting a little bit of the darkness and ignorance of the whole universe?
Sri Chinmoy: When I lift weights, I don't have the time to think; thinking capacity disappears. But after I have lifted up the weight, I feel that I have lifted lifeless inconscience.
From:Sri Chinmoy,Soul-Illumination-Shrine, Body-Preparation-Temple, part 1, Agni Press, New York, 1985
