Sri Chinmoy made the following comment after successfully jumping up onto a 30-inch platform from a standing position.
The inflexibility of the mind surrenders to the heart of a child. Only a seven-year-old child constantly jumps and jumps, upward and forward. Our childhood memories always give us joy. If we can consciously bring back our childhood memories, then we will be flooded with newness and hope. This is my philosophy: to remain always in the heart. Age is in the mind. With determination we can conquer the age barrier and go back to our childlike heart where hope is blossoming at every moment. So, remain in the heart. If you can remain in the heart, then you can act like a child and there will be no end to your progress. The old age bondage-limitations will return to the childhood freedom-dreams.
