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.

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

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

April 14th, 2009 — My Flute
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
But my victory
Has become a wall
Between my Lord and my heart.

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.

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

Without speaking ill of
The rest of the world.

Your smiles
And not your anger
