Each time you enter a new year,
Be determined not to bring
Your old self with you.
Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 92 by Sri Chinmoy
The new year comes
To give you another opportunity,
Another hope.
But the new year will come and go.
So begin your self-transformation-play
Immediately!
Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 92 by Sri Chinmoy
The old year is dying.
The new year is bringing
A new life, a new beginning.
Now is the time
For the seeker-children
Of the Lord Supreme
To treasure a new hope
And a new promise.
Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 69 by Sri Chinmoy
A new year is a new life. A new life is a new second. A new second is a new opportunity. A new opportunity is a new blessing from the infinite Supreme.
Excerpt from Arise! Awake! Thoughts Of A Yogi by Sri Chinmoy
Begin your new life
In the New Year
With tremendous enthusiasm,
Tremendous determination
And tremendous self-giving.
Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 169 by Sri Chinmoy
My spiritual children, your new year has to be the year of faith and not of doubt. Your new year has to be the year of joy and not of despair. Your new year has to be the year of achievement and fulfilment and not of failure and disgrace. Your new year has to be the year of immortalising life and not of darkening death.
Excerpt from Arise! Awake! Thoughts Of A Yogi by Sri Chinmoy
