“How can you become self-giving? You can become self-giving by constantly feeling joy in every part of your existence from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. If you can feel that a river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy, then automatically and spontaneously you can become self-giving in whatever you say, do or grow into.”
- Sri Chinmoy

Here, there, everywhere.

For name and fame.
In the inner world he ran
To feed and satisfy
The God-hunger in him.

At Calvary

At the foot of the Bodhi tree
Was astonishingly beautiful.
