Dear runners in the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence Race in Salzburg, my dear brothers,
Than you very much for the gift you give us all by your running. I, too, may - althrough from a great distance - participate in this magnificent festival of meditative sports: My thoughts and heartfelt blessings are with you.
In the spirit of Sri Chinmoy's understanding of sport, I wish each of you, that "sweet spot" where you simply become identical to your running. Then it's no longer about speed, it's no longer about any success; then you're just completely in the Now. But this Now is the fulcrum of a mysterious leverage through which your good intentions can lift the whole world higher towards the light.
Also to all helpers and all those who participate in this event, I would like to thank you an give them many good wishes.
In cordial connection
Your Brother David
