Sports is one of the cornerstones of Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy of integration of the inner and the outer lives. In this video, Sri Chinmoy gives a brief introduction to his philosophy on sport.

Why do we watch sports?
To receive inspiration, enthusiasm,
Joy and courage.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 15, Agni Press, 1999

 

“Physical fitness is of paramount importance… If I am physically fit, I’ll be able to pray and meditate, and do the needful…”

– Sri Chinmoy, (unofficial transcript) from the interview

 

Run and become.
Become and run.
Run to succeed in the outer world.
Become to proceed in the inner world.
