“Try not to change the world. You will fail. Try to love the world. Lo, the world is changed. Changed forever.”
by Sri Chinmoy (1)
“There will come a time when this world of ours will be flooded with peace. Who will bring about this radical change? It will be you – you and your sisters and brothers. You and your oneness-heart will spread peace throughout the length and breadth of the world.”
- Sri Chinmoy (2)

“Why do we need religion? We need religion because we want to go beyond the finite in order to commune with the Infinite. This is not only possible but also inevitable, for in us there is a conscious being which envisions God’s Reality in totality.”
- Sri Chinmoy (1)
“Religion is a spontaneous experience and never a theoretical knowledge. This experience is immensely practical, and we can use it consciously at every moment of our earthly existence.”
- Sri Chinmoy (1)
“Religion has two lives: the outer and the inner. It offers its outer life to seekers in the preliminary stage of vital and emotional aspiration. It offers its inner life to the universal meditation and God-realisation.”
- Sri Chinmoy (1)
“People say that science and religion are always at daggers drawn. This need not be true. Science plays its role dynamically in explaining the immanent God. Religion plays its role divinely in interpreting the transcendent God. Science deals with the physical world, while religion deals with the inner and spiritual world.”
- Sri Chinmoy (1)
“All religions are in essence one, inseparable. Each religion is an unfailing path leading to the eternal Truth and is a proper manifestation of that Truth. … Religion is one. But it expresses itself through many, through the teeming religions.”

Miracles are everywhere to be found
When I surrender my infinite desires
To my immortal aspirations.
- Sri Chinmoy [1]
Only two miracles are worth seeing:
The miracle of loving
And
The miracle of forgiving.
- Sri Chinmoy [2]
The whole world is looking for miracles.
Every day it is dying to see miracles.
But can there be any miracle
More challenging, more illumining
And more fulfilling
Than to see and feel the infinite Beauty
Of my Beloved Supreme
Inside this tinier than the tiniest
Gratitude-heart of mine?
Sri Chinmoy [3]
“The greatest miracle is to remain for one extra second in a divine consciousness. If you can remain one second more in a divine consciousness, then that is the supreme miracle on earth. Miracles will not help you achieve God-realisation. Far from it. In fact, miracles can create all kinds of problems.”
