Weightlifting Prayer

by Sri Chinmoy

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
I do not know what I am doing,
But I do know that You know
What You are doing
In and through me
For Your own Manifestation-Light
Here on earth
And for Your own Satisfaction-Delight
There in Heaven.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 4:53 a.m. before lifting 127 lbs with each arm once.

Race Prayer

by Sri Chinmoy

 

We love our desire-life
Infinitely more than we love God.
God loves only us,
And never, never, never, never
Our desire-life.

Sri Chinmoy attends the ‘Self-Transcendence Race’  in New York — one of the weekly 2-mile races held each Saturday morning. At the conclusion of the event, he offers this prayer.
