July 1, Utpal: When You Are Inside Your Strength Is Infinite
Archived – click Post Title to view all. “I feel it.” Like everybody who is running the 3100 mile race Yuri is not immune from all the noise and confusion that is now continuing to spill across their sacred path. Yet he is finding something positive is coming out of all the discord. “It concentrates you to be inside. You take all your strength and direct it inward.” Pointing at a big machine moving past us, “this technology in the outer world is ready to crush you. But when you are inside nothing threatens you. The technology that is here blocks your strength. It is very hard to run. But when you are inside your strength is infinite.” “This technology is a very good teacher. It teaches you very quickly.” I then ask if this is the case than he must be receiving a very good lesson. “It forces me to be exactly where I have to be. It doesn’t allow me to get relaxed.

Than it is not a distraction.”

June 29, Utpal: Divine Food
“I am making a very special thing. It is a juice made of carrots and apples. It is full of vitamins and it is very good for runners.”
Klara says this with such enthusiasm and warmth that I almost think for a moment that I have stepped out of the every day world and entered a sweet, wonderful, new reality. Like Nirjharini herself, who has crewed the kitchen at the 3100 mile race for 11 years, this little kitchen I just walked into is like nothing most of us have ever seen before. And yes the food is divine.
