Question: How is the running movement related to America's soul?
Sri Chinmoy: America’s soul cares for speed: fast, faster, fastest. So naturally, if anybody runs speedily towards the goal — whether it is the ultimate Goal or even a partial goal — America’s soul will be satisfied with that individual runner.
