Interviewer: Guru, is weightlifting a part of your general philosophy of transcending oneself, transcending one's limits, one's own preconceptions?

Sri Chinmoy: Weightlifting, in my case, is a matter of self-transcendence. When I do anything, I have one set goal and that is my self-transcendence. So weightlifting is also a part of my self-transcendence.
