“Meditation is self-transcendence. Self-transcendence is the message of the Beyond. The message of the Beyond is God, the eternally evolving Soul, and God, the eternally fulfilling Goal.”

- Excerpt from: Garland of Nation Souls by Sri Chinmoy

Idleness never lives alone;
With it abides dark failure-night.
Action alone can save you with
Its bright all-conquering light.

Excerpt from Silence Speaks, Part 9 by Sri Chinmoy.

“Life is not empty talk. Life is not the breath of illusion. Life is the action of aspiration. Aspiration is the action of man’s Inner Pilot. Let us fight the battle of life within. Let us wake up to the reality of our world consciously and devotedly. Ours will be the victory without. Forget we must not, never. We are of God the Infinite and we are for God the Eternal.”

Excerpt from: Meditation: Self-Transcendence by Sri Chinmoy

If you live in your past,
You will cry in dark shadows.
If you live in your present,
You will dance in God-meadows.

Excerpt from Silence Speaks, Part 9 by Sri Chinmoy.

O inspiration-sky,
Where are you?
My mind is a beggar without you.
O aspiration-sun,
Where are you?
My heart is an orphan without you.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 9 by Sri Chinmoy.

If you say
He is old
I shall not object.
But I shall appreciate it
If you just add a pithy line:
His earth-face
Is lined with the roadmap
Of Heaven-history.

Excerpt from Three Hundred Sixty-Five Father’s Day Prayers by Sri Chinmoy.

“…If you say that you have no faith in yourself but you have all faith in God, then I wish to say you cannot go very far. You have to have faith, constant faith and abundant faith, not only in God, but also in yourself since you are God’s son or God’s daughter. When you truly feel that you are God’s child, you will find that it is beneath your dignity to make friends with ignorance. Reality, Eternity, Immortality and Infinity are not vague terms; these are your birthright. When you have that kind of faith, God will shower His choicest Blessings upon your devoted head and surrendered heart…”

Excerpt from: The Garland of Nation Souls by Sri Chinmoy

One positive seed-thought
Has saved me,
My entire life:
My Lord Supreme
Will always love me
No matter what I do
Or what I say
Or even what I become.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 9 by Sri Chinmoy.

He who has a single desire
Has a sure enemy.
He who has a little aspiration
Has a true friend.
He who has an iota of love
Has a pure mother
And
An eternal friend.

Excerpt from Three Hundred Sixty-Five Father’s Day Prayers by Sri Chinmoy.

“…A man of disbelief, with his eyes firmly closed, tells us what others are, what the world is and what he himself can do for the entire world if he wants to. A man of belief, with his heart’s door wide open, tells us what God has done for him, what God is doing for him and what God will do for him.

Disbelief has a perfection of its own. Disbelief finds its perfection in the cyclone of separation. Belief has a perfection of its own. Belief finds its perfection in the music of the universal Oneness…”
