July 18: Impossible Until It’s Done by Utpal

July 20, 2014

He spent 27 years of his life in prison. It was such a harsh place that he was allowed to receive only one visitor per year. He grew up in a world that gave him few rights and precious little freedom. Yet when he emerged from prison he left his bitterness and despair behind him. He knew that if he were to continue to hate he would never be free. Instead he went forward to not only liberate his country South Africa, but also to become a shining example to the world as well.

July 16: Beyond Our Imagination by Utpal

July 18, 2014

Tarit said to me yesterday that i have gone  throug 1800 miles. He could have said any number he wanted.  You are running along and the days have gone by and you see the numbers 1800 on the board.  You just feel the same tiredness.  There could have been any numbers at all.  They just don’t mean anything at all.  I just glance at the board occasionally.”

July 15: Measureless Miles by Utpal

“The rain is outside.  Happiness is inside.  They do not mix.  I love rain very much.  I call rain my friend, and when it comes I am very happy.”

“I understand that other runners do not like rain very much.  But rain doesn’t ask us when it comes.  Therefore I am very happy when it comes.  I cheer it.” “I take rain as a part of the Supreme.  Rain, sun, and wind are all manifestations of the Supreme, and I try and take it with gratitude.  Our minds can think about it in a bad way.  But my heart feels that I am one with the rain.  Rain is also a symbol of purity.  So when it comes I feel more pure.  Outwardly it is difficult.  Inwardly I have a good feeling.”  Yuri Trostenyuk
