Conversation

Sri Chinmoy: Because you fight for the supreme Cause, in the inmost recesses of my heart I feel that you want to establish Allah’s Light, Justice-Light. Since there is only one God, one Truth, we should all listen to the dictates of that one Truth.

Muhammad Ali: That’s right.

Herbert Muhammad: Right.

Sri Chinmoy: As you said, the root is the spiritual, the spirit within us. The body comes and goes.

Muhammad Ali: That’s right.

Sri Chinmoy: But the soul is eternal. In God’s Eye, in Allah’s Eye, in Allah’s Heart, you will never be defeated.

Muhammad Ali: That’s right.

Sri Chinmoy: That is because you are fighting for Allah’s manifestation on earth. Any outer defeat will never be a real defeat. On the physical plane, after ten, twenty, thirty years, if you do not maintain the same strength, this is a physical thing. But the soul’s strength, the spirit’s strength you will never lose because you have become inseparably one with Allah’s Will.

Muhammad Ali: I heard something spiritual. I heard something once that says he who fights for the cause of God secures victory over his enemies.

Herbert Muhammad: That’s right.

Sri Chinmoy: Absolutely.

Muhammad Ali: Well, brother, we sure thank you for coming.
