A Life of Mistakes

His is a life
Mostly spent in making mistakes.
But his hallowed hunger for God-Love
Will eventually
Not only rectify and justify
But also glorify
All his unavoidable mistakes.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 5 by Sri Chinmoy.

The Secret Of Divine Education

The secret of divine education:
Do not look back.
Your forgotten, hungry wolf-life
Will immediately devour you.
The secret of divine education:
Be sleeplessly on the alert.
Your ego-life can easily
Keep growing without nourishment.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 5 by Sri Chinmoy.

VIEWPOINTS

A little soul says
God is good.
A big soul says
God is great.
A divine soul says
God boundlessly has.
A supreme soul says
God eternally is
Plus
God eternally proceeds.

Excerpt from The Golden Boat, Part 14 by Sri Chinmoy.

We Are Aspiring For Harmony

We are aspiring for harmony
In the inner life and in the outer life
I deeply value the oneness
Of all human beings.

- Sri Chinmoy

Three Tearful Prayers

My Eternity’s Lord Supreme,
Three tearful prayers:
Reinspire my heart-cry,
Rebuild my hope-tower,
Replenish my gratitude-cup.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 5 by Sri Chinmoy.

Don’t Be

O mind, my mind,
Don’t be a busy old fool.
O heart, my heart;
Don’t be a tortured weakling.
O vital, my vital,
Don’t be a ruthless tyrant.
O body, my body,
Don’t be a marathon sleeper.
O soul, my soul,
Don’t be a fruitless dreamer.

Excerpt from The Golden Boat, Part 14 by Sri Chinmoy.

Hope Never Retreats

Hope never retreats.
Faith never delays.
Love never sleeps.
Devotion never doubts.
Surrender never fails.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 5 by Sri Chinmoy.

Faith Helps my Heart-Flower Blossom

Faith helps my heart-flower blossom
Petal by petal in perfect perfection
So that it can respond
To my soul’s delight-call.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 57 by Sri Chinmoy.

Just Because

Just because
Your heart-bird has flown
High above your mind’s clouds,
God is granting you
The Silence, Beauty and Divinity
Of Eternity.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 63 by Sri Chinmoy.

Peace

Peace is not in seeing,
Peace is not in receiving,
Peace is not in feeling,
Peace is not in giving;
Peace is in praying to God
For peace-role
In the seeker’s aspiring life.

Excerpt from Silence-Seed And Sound-Fruit by Sri Chinmoy.
