quotes and poems of inspiration

The human method
Begins by doubting.
The divine method
Begins by loving.
The supreme method
Begins by discovering,
by serving.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

I can promise
To be sincere;
But sweet Lord,
It is You alone
Who have to make me sincere.

I can promise
To be good;
But beloved Lord,
It is You alone
Who can and will
Make me eternally and supremely good.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

I love only one thing:
I love to be superior
To my yesterday’s realisation
And
To my tomorrow’s expectation.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

“Love is the inner bond, the inner connection, the inner link between man and God, between the finite and the infinite. We always have to approach God through love. Without love, we cannot become one with God. If we go through our journey with absolute love, we can never fail to reach God or fulfil Him, either in our own lives or in humanity.”

- Sri Chinmoy

Excerpt from Service-Boat And Love-Boatman, Part 2 by Sri Chinmoy.

The real gift
That God deeply cherishes
And treasures
Is your soulful smile.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 240 by Sri Chinmoy.

When I meditate soulfully,
I make myself five years old.
When I do not meditate,
I become eighty years old.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 240 by Sri Chinmoy.

Just remember:
If you really love the Supreme
In your Master,
You will not do anything
To disappoint or displease Him.

Today
God’s Name is Happiness
Because His children have proved
Their loving oneness
With His creation.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 240 by Sri Chinmoy

Infinity multiplied by Infinity
Are the aspiration-flowers
That you are offering
To the Supreme.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 240 by Sri Chinmoy.

The Secret Supreme is the Supreme Himself. He can be seen. He can be felt. He can be realised. When He is seen, He is Existence. When He is felt, He is Consciousness. When He is realised, He is Delight. In His embodiment of Existence, He is Eternal. In His revelation of Consciousness, He is Infinite. In His manifestation of Delight, He is Immortal. His Vision Transcendental and His Reality Absolute are man’s future achievements. Man’s expanding love, crying devotion and glowing surrender are God’s future possessions…”
