Not through the power
Of his mouth
But through the light
Of his heart.

If you pray for others,
God will definitely ask you
To claim His Infinity’s Love
As your very own.

Pay no attention
To life’s storms.
Pay all attention
To the sunlit days
In your heart.

Your mind, vital and body
Will be dumbfounded
When God’s Light descends.

To enjoy negative thoughts
During the day,
Specially in the morning
And in the evening.

Because every day he tries
And actually does
A little more than he thinks he can.

Slowly and steadily
You have to silence your mind
So that the peace-dove
Can nest in it.

Because of his Himalayan pride,
He did not accept anything from God.
He went away empty-handed!

When you meditate,
Try to disconnect the thought-current.
You will see and feel
A torrent of God-Delight
Descending from Above
Into your aspiration-heart.

God gave me the happiest news that He loves me even if I don’t care to love Him. I gave God the greatest news that I think of Him although ignorance constantly thinks of me.

Everyone loves to blame somebody else.
But who is that somebody else
If not a portion of
The unrealised universal Self?

I do not compete with the world. I compete with my ignorance. I do not compare myself with the world. I compare myself with my soul’s perfection. I do not cooperate with the world’s stupidity. I cooperate with my heart’s purest sincerity.

Sri Chinmoy, Meditations: food for the soul, Aum Centre, New York, 1970

Almost on a daily basis,
We undoubtedly give
A most painful headache
To God.

The new year comes
To give you another opportunity,
Another hope.
But the new year will come and go.
So begin your self-transformation-play
Immediately!

Changes everything it touches
For the better.

My God is coming to help me
Unlearn all the ignorance-lessons
That I have been learning
For centuries.

God enjoys
My gratitude-heart-smiles
To the fullest.

Faith and love
Are two next-door neighbours.
They are extremely fond
Of each other.

Only one road
Is sure and sunlit:

When I accuse my mind of stealing away my heart’s joy, I always meet with flat denials from the mind. Lord, what am I to do?

My life
From the burning attachments
Of my present and past life.

Flies high, higher, highest,
Fast, faster, fastest,
To arrive at God’s Heart-Palace.

If I want to claim Him
As my own, very own,
Then I must never lose
My child-heart.

A sun-bright happiness-life
Can be achieved
Through constant self-offering.
