Question: Does lifting weights cause the vital to become more aggressive?

Sri Chinmoy: It depends on the individual. If an individual has aspiration, then weightlifting will make him dynamic. If he has only desire, then naturally weightlifting may make him aggressive, for he may misuse his physical strength and it will be tantamount to brute strength.
