“Love is courage. Courage is self-giving. Self-giving is God-building and, in God-building, God-manifestation takes place. God’s total manifestation is today a dream. Tomorrow the dream will be transformed into hope, and the day after tomorrow this hope will be transformed into an inner assurance.”

Sri Chinmoy, The oneness of the Eastern heart and the Western mind, part 1, Agni Press, 2003
