- Sri Chinmoy: You had spirituality in your background, in your heart. That is what I wanted to know, because some people do not believe in God's Grace. They believe only in their own physical prowess. They practise for their event and then they feel that the results will come because of their training.

Part III — Reflections
- Editor's note
- Question: Could you speak of competition as a human condition?
- Editor's note
- Question: In your heavy lifts, do you lift the weight from the ground?
- Editor's note
- Question: Why have you chosen weightlifting to transcend in?
- Editor's note
- Question: I am sure that a lot of weightlifters will be inspired by articles about you to try concentration and meditation to improve their weightlifting, but if a weightlifter is not a spiritual seeker, will he actually be able to gain anything?
- Question: You used your will-power to make your wrist stronger. Could you also use it on your knee so that you can run again? Is there any reason why you cannot do that?
- Question: If we want to pray for your weightlifting, if we want to offer our encouragement, what should we pray for?
- Question: Because of what you are doing with these weights, is there a permanent change in the evolution of the inconscience world?
- Question: Did you have any inner experiences with the cosmic gods and goddesses when you lifted 1,300 pounds and 1,500 pounds with one arm?
- Student: First we have to have a high meditation, then we can experience falling!

- Question: I am a little curious why you do not choose some more standardised feats to demonstrate your philosophy. Would it not be easier then for a larger body of athletes to judge your performances?
- Question: I see, but if there are no standards of what is typical, how do we know what is beyond typical?
