The aim of our Physical Education is not to produce champions. Nor on the other hand should it be merely a pastime, and object of excitement or an opportunity for the fulfillment of one’s ambition. It is a means by which one’s physical instrument may be trained and perfected, so that something higher than the physical, the “Truth Force”, which seeks to manifest through the body may find it a fit instrument for its self-expression. – The Mother
