Short Poems on Happiness

 

Do you want to be always happy?
Then give up fighting
For negativity
And learn the beautiful art
Of self-encouragement.

Sri Chinmoy (1)

True inner joy is self - created.
It does not depend on outer circumstances.
A river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy.
This divine joy is the sole purpose of life.

- Sri Chinmoy

Happiness, happiness, happiness-
Only happiness within
And happiness without
Can free the bondage-chained life
Of humanity.

Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 239 by Sri Chinmoy

The mind chases happiness.
The heart creates happiness.
The soul is happiness
And it spreads happiness
All-where.

Excerpt from Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 27 by Sri Chinmoy

If you want to make progress,
Only think of your heart's happiness
And how you can keep
Your entire being happy.
Wherever you go,
Carry happiness with you.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 52 by Sri Chinmoy

 

A constant touch of sweetness linked all hearts,
The throb of one adoration's single bliss
In a rapt ether of undying love.
An inner happiness abode in all,
A sense of universal harmonies,
A measureless secure eternity
Of truth and beauty and good and joy made one.

- Sri Aurobindo Book II The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds Canto XIV The World-Soul

An incense floated in the quivering air,
A mystic happiness trembled in the breast
As if the invisible Beloved had come
Assuming the sudden loveliness of a face
And close glad hands could seize his fugitive feet
And the world change with the beauty of a smile.

- Sri Aurobindo Book II The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds
Canto XIV The World-Soul
