Weightlifting Prayer
by Sri Chinmoy
at 8:43 a.m.in Surabaya, Indonesia, before lifting 400 lbs. two hundred and three times with one arm. (97 right, 106 left in five sets)
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
The self-made man proudly thinks
That he can do and he can become.
The God-made man devotedly
And unmistakably sees
That God has already done
Everything for him
And
God Himself has chosen him
To be God’s choicest instrument.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

by Sri Chinmoy
at 9:00 a.m.in Surabaya, Indonesia, before using a double-arm machine up to 140 lbs. with each arm simultaneously from a standing position, and 140 lbs. with each arm separately from a seated position.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
The divine within
Welcomes and embraces
The divine without.
The undivine within
Challenges
The undivine without,
And they fight and destroy each other.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
