How Meditation helps Sport
Question: Does inner running help our outer running?

Sri Chinmoy: Our inner running definitely helps us in our outer

running.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Through prayer and meditation, we can develop intense will power,

and

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

this will power can help us do extremely well in our outer

running.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Meditation is stillness, calmness, quietness, while the running
consciousness is all dynamism. Again, the runner's outer speed has

a

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

special kind of poise or stillness at its very heart. We can bring

this

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

stillness to our outer life. Poise is an unseen power, and this

unseen

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

power is always ready to come to the aid of the outer runner.

Question: Does an athlete who has spiritual purity have greater

capacity

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

than an athlete who does not care for the spiritual life?

Sri Chinmoy: Suppose there are two athletes who, on the physical

plane,

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

have the same standard. If you are pure and the other is impure,

what

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will happen? If you really have the same standard, then definitely

you

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will be able to defeat the impure one. As soon as you touch the

shot, you

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will be able to control your vital thoughts, mental thoughts and

physical

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

thoughts. But when the other one holds it, he will look around to

see if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

others are looking at him. When he is thinking of the audience,

some of

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

his strength goes away. As soon as he identifies himself with the
audience, what he gets is their worries, anxieties and tension.

But when

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

you are throwing, as soon as you hold the shot, there is only you

and

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

God. You are not allowing your vital to come forward. You don't

open the

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

physical door. You don't open the mental door. Purity is your

bodyguard.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

It does not allow any wrong force to come. You have no idea who is

good,

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

who is bad, who is your enemy. Your purity-guard is very strict.

It will

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

not allow anything wrong to enter into your mind. So if one

athlete has

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

the same capacity as someone else, the one who is purer is bound

to win,

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

because he will not allow himself to be attacked by outside forces

at the

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

time of competition.

Question: Does the spiritual life actually change the physical

form?

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Sri Chinmoy: Yes, the spiritual life does change the physical form

if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

while practising spirituality you care for the physical. There are

many

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

spiritual Masters who practise spirituality and also care for the
physical. I am one of those. Even while I was in India I took

regular

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

physical exercise as well as meditating. Again, there are many

Masters

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

who don't care for the physical.

The spiritual life does have the capacity to change the physical,

but if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

we do not consciously use the spiritual life to help the body,

then

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

naturally the body will respond only to a limited extent. It

depends on

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

the seeker - whether he wants his spiritual life to enter into his

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

body-consciousness or whether he wants to have two separate

existences. I

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

feel that the two should go together. But again, it is useless if

the

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

body becomes strong, but one is not aspiring. The body and soul

have to

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

go simultaneously on the spiritual journey.

As I recall, Chinmoy was the world record holder in the one-arm

military

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

press--an event in which to my knowledge he has literally no

competition.

Since you wrote that so well I do agree with about everything you have
to say.

I still hold that too many view the anonymous handle license as a way
they can say [censored] about whomever and whatever.

If whatever you have to say is the truth then sign it. There can be no
incrimination.

If whatever you have to say might be the truth but it's pretty bad
stuff, then keep it to yourself since it might haunt you later. For
sure anonymous handles saying bad things about people, truthful or not,
is always dismissed or never to be taken seriously (same thing). there
are better avenues than posting "tell alls" in RBR.

Have you noticed that kp never has anything of substance to say about
cycling? His posts are mostly drivel about how or what to post. How
boring.

Now I know he will flame me, but coming from him it's basically a wet
noodle.

Question: Does an athlete who has spiritual purity have greater capacity
than an athlete who does not care for the spiritual life?

Sri Chinmoy: Suppose there are two athletes who, on the physical plane,
have
the same standard. If you are pure and the other is impure, what will
happen? If you really have the same standard, then definitely you will be
able to defeat the impure one.

Presumably this means [censored] is going to add spiritual purity to his
list of banned substances. Panache and spiritual purity are a particularly
dangerous combination.

This reminds me of something that occurred one year at the
Pepsi 24 hour race in NYC's Central Park. A group of
cyclists entered the event from some sort of meditative
ashram and did quite well with virtually no real training
in cycling. Perhaps someone out there remembers the
particulars of who the were.
How Meditation helps Sport

Question: Does inner running help our outer running?

Sri Chinmoy: Our inner running definitely helps us in our outer running.
Through prayer and meditation, we can develop intense will power, and this
will power can help us do extremely well in our outer running. Meditation is
stillness, calmness, quietness, while the running consciousness is all
dynamism. Again, the runner's outer speed has a special kind of poise or
stillness at its very heart. We can bring this stillness to our outer life.
Poise is an unseen power, and this unseen power is always ready to come to
the aid of the outer runner...

Well Buddhist definitions of spiritual purity include abstinence. On the
other hand a Hindu cyclist wanting the podium girl could meditate on the
Kama Sutra, although it might divert some precious blood from his legs.

Buddhism does not have to equate with abstinence. Meditation does not have
to equate with abstinence. Tantric sex can be quite pure. A meditative,
Buddhist podium girl into tantric sexuality could be very effective as a
goal to reach the podium.

I thought Tantra was Hindu but a quick google seems to indicate that it
is common to both
religions (http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/t/tantra.asp). Perhaps as an
expert on comparitive religions, Flom can give us his position on this
matter.

Anyway this tantric sex thing sounds like too much PT.

As an aside, Ghandi, who was a Hindu, practiced abstinence for much of the
second half of his life. His wife was must have been a saint. And he also
took to having girls of 14 or 15 years sleep naked next to him as a
temptation which his successfully resisted--according to him. I tend to
believe him in the absense of a positive test result.

You say *all* are suspect who have good results.

As Barry Bonds said yesterday, and I am paraphrasing, you shouldn't
throw stones in a glass house... something like that... or "is your

You are becoming a blithering idiot in your old age Ken. That's not what
I've said. I've said, as have others (including some pro riders
themselves), that every win and every record is suspect due to the endemic
use of drugs in the sport. "Good results" for some could mean jst finishing
a race drug free. As Mr. Sheckman said in high school chemistry, "To be
terrific, you must be specific."

My closet is pristine, Kenny. Also, I have made any accusations against
anyone. As the British judge in the Armstrong libel case put, there are
reasons to suspect that some riders are using drugs--some more so than
others.
