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.

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.

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.

Apocalypse

Within, without the cosmos wide am I;
In joyful sweep I loose forth and draw back all.
A birthless deathless Spirit that moves and is still
Ever abides within to hear my call.

I who create on earth my joys and doles
To fulfil my matchless quest in all my play,
I veil my face of truth with golden hues
And see the serpent night and python day.

A Consciousness Bliss I feel in each breath;
I am the self amorous child of the Sun.
At will I break and build my symbol sheath
And freely enjoy the world’s unshadowed fun.

Excerpt from “My Flute” by Sri Chinmoy

Not My Failure

Not my failure
But my victory
Has become a wall
Between my Lord and my heart.

Negativity
Can never solve
Any problem.

Jesus Came To You Quickly

Jesus came to you quickly
To love you
When you were young.
The Christ has come to you unconditionally
To save you
When you are old.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 8 by Sri Chinmoy.

Regular Hours

If we cannot meditate well, no harm.
God want us
To prayerfully and soulfully sit
At our shrine
At regular hours.

Speaking Ill of the World

We can easily live our lives
Without speaking ill of
The rest of the world.

Your Smiles

The World needs
Your smiles
And not your anger
