Weightlifting Prayers
by Sri Chinmoy
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
How beautiful, how peaceful
And how blissful
Is the silence of my heart’s
Meditation-room.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 8:14 a.m. in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, before using seated double-arm machine up to 140 lbs. with each arm simultaneously. The prayer was later published in My Morning Soul-Body Prayers, part 11.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Our mind’s frustration-sighs
Are
Our life’s God-denials.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
I must think of God’s
Frustration-Heart first.
Then I should look at God’s
Compassion-Eye.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
