"Chinmoy, how is it that I don't see you nowadays on the sports field?""Nowadays I only play volleyball and practise running just to keep my body fit, since I shall not compete anymore in athletics."
"You have done more than your share of competition. Nobody expects you to compete anymore. Only try to keep your body fit. This is essential."
Sri Chinmoy, A service-flame and a service-sun, Agni Press, 1974
