“We must not allow our past to torment and destroy the peace of our heart. Our present good and divine actions can easily counteract our bad and undivine actions of the past. If sin has the power to make us weep, meditation has undoubtedly the power to give us joy, to endow us with the divine Wisdom.”
Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul., Agni Press, 1971
“No price is too great to pay for inner peace. Peace is the harmonious control of life. It is vibrant with life-energy. It is a power that easily transcends all our worldly knowledge. Yet it is not separate from our earthly existence. If we open the right avenues within, this peace can be felt here and now.”
Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul., Agni Press, 1971
“How is it that a man does not know himself, something which ought to be the easiest of all his endeavours? He does not know himself precisely because he identifies himself with the ego and not with his real Self.”
Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul, Agni Press, 1971
One of the main faults
Of a fool
Is that he never changes
His mind.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
The music of the heart
Begins
Where the words of the mind
Stop.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
Every day
You can be true to yourself
A little more.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
The world belongs
To the world-lovers
And not
To the world-preachers.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
The time to be really happy
Is now,
Here at the very place
Where you are.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
Unlike the ordinary life,
In the spiritual life
Every moment counts;
Every moment is extremely valuable.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
Do you not think
That you lose so much
Of your precious time
By thinking and thinking
And thinking of others?
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001
