“What I see, is that quite often people learn theoretical aspects of praying and meditating. But here (3100 mile race ) it is all practical implementation.”
“You test all your knowledge all your capacities. Without meditation, without involving higher power, without relying on a higher source, it is just impossible to run so long.”
Stutisheel describes his early life as a time when he was looking for a teacher. “I was looking for somebody wise. To guide me. To teach me how to live without making mistakes.”
“So I was happy to find this guidance in Sri Chinmoy. I found that he was most reliable, my closest friend. He knows not only what is good for me but also what is best for you at every moment. ”
“None of us can fathom the significance of this race. Even though I have run here 13 times I still can’t answer what this race is really about. Because it is so deep.” He went on to suggest it could have a possible affect on the global stage and of course significantly affect his own personal development.
“Still it is a mystery but it works.”
Stutisheel went on to describe the significance of the upcoming anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s passing. “Of course it is a sad day.”
“Of course I realize that he only passed physically. But whenever I am looking for his help, his guidance, I can still find the same response as when he was still in the physical.”
“He is always here.”
