Question: You don't do complicated yoga exercises?

Sri Chinmoy: We don’t give much importance to complicated breathing or postures, and difficult exercises like cleaning the internal organs, because we feel that our love of God will purify us. People take many exercises for purification. But we feel that our real love for God, who is all Purity, will purify us. We go to the Source. We pray and meditate; we pray to the Supreme to grant us purity, sincerity, humility and other divine qualities. In our sincere prayer and meditation easily we can get these divine qualities. Either we do it all ourselves with greatest difficulty through our personal efforts, or we rely on someone with the capacity to help us. He who has the capacity can easily give me these things provided I love Him. If I love Him, naturally He will give me what He has and what He is. But if I don’t love Him and want to get what He has, then I have to do everything myself. Sri Chinmoy (to Jed Horne): You have a very fine soul. Most illumining questions you have asked me about my life from beginning to end. But there is no end. We are walking along the eternal path on the eternal journey. The Goal, too, is eternal, an eternally self-transcending Goal, and there is also an eternal traveller inside us.
