The Road is Always Ahead Of You
Ashrita Furman is a sportsman who likes the chall enge of breaking Guinness records. Over the last 25 years, he has broken approximately (几乎,大约) 93 Guinness records. More than twenty of these he still holds, including the reco rd for having the most records. But these records are not made in any conventional (传统的) sport like swimming or soc cer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imagi native events and in very interesting places.
Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hoping in Australia, po go stick jumping under water in South America, and performi ng deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America.
While these activities might seem childish (小孩子气的) a nd cause laughter rather than respect, in reality (实际上) t hey require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination.
Think about the fine neck adjustment (适应力) needed t o keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walki ng. You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay o n your head.
While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. It takes a lot of concentration (注意力) and a great sense of balance to stay on it. You have t o struggle to stay on top when your legs start shaking.
And what about somersaulting (翻筋斗)along a road for 12 miles? Somersaulting is a tough events as you have to overco me dizziness, extreme (极端的tiredness and pain. You are pe rmitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit (呕吐).
Covering a mile in the fastest time while doing gymnastical ly (体能训练) correct lunges (前冲) is yet another event in which Ashrita is outstanding. Lunges are extremely hard on your legs. You start by standing and then you step with the right foot while touching the left knee to the ground. Then
you stand up again and step forward with the left foot while touching the right knee to the ground. Imagine doing this f or a mile!
Yet this talented sportsman is not a natural athlete. As a child he was very unfit (不太健康的)and was not at all intere sted in sports. However, he was fascinated (使着迷)by the G uinness Book of World Records.
How Ashrita came to be a sportsman is an interesting sto ry. As a teenager, he began searching for a deeper meaning in life. He studied Eastern religions and, aged 16, discover ed an Indian meditation teacher called Sri Chinmoy who lived in his neighborhood in New York City. Since that time in th e early 1970s. Ashrita has been one of Sri Chinmoy’s studen ts. Sri Chinmoy says that it is just as important for people to develop their bodies as it is to develop their minds, heart s and spiritual (精神上的)selves. He believes that there is no limit to people’s physical abilities.
When Ashrta came third in a 24-hour bicycle marathon (马拉松)in New York’s Ce ntral park in 1978, he knew that he would one day get into the Guinness Book of World Records. He had been urged (催促)by his spiritual leader to enter th e marathon even though he had done no training. So, when h e won third place, he came to the understand that his body was just an instrument of the spirit and that he seemed to be able to use his spirit to accomplish (实现)anything. From t hen on, Ashrita refused to accept any physical limitation.
Whit this new confidence, Ashrita broke his first Guinness record with 27,000 jumping jacks in 1979. The motivation (动机)to keep trying to break records comes through his devo tion to Sri Chinmoy. Every time Ashrita tries to break a rec ord, he reaches a point where he feels he cannot physically do any more. At that moment, he goes deep within himself a nd connects with his soul and his teacher.
Ashrita always acknowledges (感谢)his teacher in his recor d-breaking attempts. In fact, he often wears a T-shirt with Sri Chinmoy’ words on the back. The words are:
“There is only o ne perfect road. It is ahead of you, alwa ys ahead of you.”。
