Just be yourself.
Lo, God is running
Towards you.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 23, Agni Press, 2002

You have lost nothing in losing your outer capacities and achievements. Simplicity lost, something is lost. Sincerity lost, much is lost. Purity lost, more is lost. Humility lost, your entire inner world is lost.

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

A spiritual life means:
It is now
Or never.

Intelligence does not know
When and how it becomes
Belligerence at times.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9, Agni Press, 1998

Today’s impossible achievements
Tomorrow may appear
As inevitability.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9, Agni Press, 1998

O my mind,
You yourself are empty of peace.
How do you dare to bring about
World-peace?

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9, Agni Press, 1998

Purity awakens the real in me:
Oneness.
Humility strengthens the real in me:
Perfection.
Gratitude enlightens the real in me:
Satisfaction.

Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 10, Agni Press, 1981

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

Do you want to be always happy?
Then give up fighting
For negativity
And learn the beautiful art
Of self-encouragement.”

– Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 12
