Interviewer: I know you said before that it is the power of meditation that enables you to lift such incredible weights. I might mention that Sri Chinmoy's recent lift of 7,000 pounds was over 44 times his bodyweight! Meditation must hold tremendous potential for all of us.

Sri Chinmoy: Absolutely! Meditation is not the sole monopoly of any individual. Everybody has the birthright to meditate; and, if we can meditate well, then we establish our oneness with the entire world. Once we have established our oneness with the world, we feel peace. Our whole being, our entire life, is inundated with peace. And once we have peace, we feel that we have everything and we have become everything.
