The Only Medicine

Unquestionably and speedily,
Enthusiasm-power is the only medicine
That can cure the mental, vital
And physical idleness.

How Do I Spend My Time?

How do I spend my time?
I spend my time
In self-discovery.
When do I spend my time
In self-discovery?
All day and all night.

I Appeared Before God

I appeared before God
With what I have:
An iota of gratitude.

God appeared before me
With what He is:
Infinity’s Satisfaction-Smile.

Each Time

Each time I love mankind
Unreservedly,
Each time I love God
Unconditionally,
I reclaim a part
Of my own real life.

Is It Possible?

I do not change
My thinking process.
Yet I want to live
My own life.
Is it possible?

Practical And Spiritual

God is at once
Practical and spiritual,
So He wants us
To have a practical life
And
A spiritual heart.

I Came From God

I came from God
The Eternal Dreamer.
I am heading towards God
The Immortal Lover.

The Celestial Inspiration

The celestial inspiration
Is always descending.
Alas, the terrestrial aspiration
Is not always ascending.

Three Things I Shall Conquer

Three things I shall conquer:
My life’s cloudy weather,
My heart’s teeming fears,
My mind’s strangling doubts.

Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 8, Agni Press, 1981.

I am Happy Because

I am happy because
God is helping me to see
Everything from His point of view.
I am happy because
God is helping me to read
Every man from His point of view.
