“In meditation we dive into the vast sea of Consciousness. We do not have to ask God for Peace or Light because we are swimming in the sea of divine qualities. At that time God gives us more than we can ever imagine.
Sri Chinmoy, Prayer-World, Mantra-World and Japa-World, Agni Press, 1974
Lose your ego
Completely.

No matter how loud and destructive,
Can disturb the soul’s inner poise.

Do not think
Of your own incapacity-tears.

Satisfaction.

Meditation is man’s thirst for the Infinite Real, Eternal Real and Absolute Real. The secret of meditation is to achieve conscious and constant oneness with God.
– Sri Chinmoy, Eastern Light for the Western mind, Agni Press, 1973
“Why do we want to transcend? We want to transcend because the life of ignorance, bondage, imperfection and death cannot satisfy us. We want to achieve something. We want to grow into something which is eternal; we want to grow into the very image of Immortality.”

One of the main faults
Of a fool
Is that he never changes
His mind.

Then give up fighting
For negativity
And learn the beautiful art
Of self-encouragement.”
