Months passed by and the sage was only
praying to God for Peace, Light and Bliss.

The human method
Begins by doubting.
The divine method
Begins by loving.
The supreme method
Begins by discovering,
by serving.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

I can promise
To be sincere;
But sweet Lord,
It is You alone
Who have to make me sincere.

I can promise
To be good;
But beloved Lord,
It is You alone
Who can and will
Make me eternally and supremely good.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

I love only one thing:
I love to be superior
To my yesterday’s realisation
And
To my tomorrow’s expectation.

Excerpt from Transcendence-Perfection by Sri Chinmoy.

“Love is the inner bond, the inner connection, the inner link between man and God, between the finite and the infinite. We always have to approach God through love. Without love, we cannot become one with God. If we go through our journey with absolute love, we can never fail to reach God or fulfil Him, either in our own lives or in humanity.”

- Sri Chinmoy

Excerpt from Service-Boat And Love-Boatman, Part 2 by Sri Chinmoy.

The real gift
That God deeply cherishes
And treasures
Is your soulful smile.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 240 by Sri Chinmoy.

When I meditate soulfully,
I make myself five years old.
When I do not meditate,
I become eighty years old.
