Sterling service to God
Should be the dream and reality
Of a genuine God-seeker.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Very long ago
God had a Dream.
The Dream is not yet fulfilled.
What is that Dream?
Humanity’s radical transformation.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Whenever we are kind and compassionate
To a human being,
It must never be mere lip-service.

Nothing can be more beautiful,
Nothing can be more meaningful,
Nothing can be more fruitful
Than God’s Forgiveness.

First achieve mastery
Over your own life —
Then only can you be
A world-transforming hero.

Self-control
Is of paramount importance
To see the Face
And feel the Heart
Of God.

If I do not love myself
In a divine way,
Then my spiritual life
Will be a total failure.

Finally
I have cast aside
My ego-pride.

Forgiveness and happiness
Shall forever remain
Inseparable.

The outer sound
Can never be as powerful
As the inner silence.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Silence can easily
Challenge and conquer
The pride of sound.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Meditation is perfect
Only when the seeker
Feels God’s Presence
Inside his heart.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Fear means
The absence of
God-oneness-love.
Humility is the height
Of inner strength.

All his life he has been feeding hope:
The beauty of hope,
The purity of hope
And the divinity of hope.
Hope is his all.

To the shore I seek.

“If you are sincerely aspiring, you will never expect anything from God, even in your imagination. Your sincere aspiration will tell you that God loves you infinitely more than you can understand, and that God, out of His infinite Love and Compassion, has already provided you with everything.”
Sri Chinmoy, Inner peace and world peace, Agni Press, 1992
“True freedom is not an isolated or independent thing. True freedom is oneness with the Infinite. It cannot operate in isolation, as a separate thing. God is both universal and individual, both unity and multiplicity. Just because we do not feel oneness with others, we do not have true freedom.”

Love is never alone.
Divinity’s blessings
And humanity’s gratitude
Always stay with love.
