Short Poems by Sri Chinmoy
Selected poems and quotes by Sri Chinmoy.
World peace can be achieved
When, in each person,
The power of love
Replaces the love of power.
- Sri Chinmoy [1]
Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.
- Sri Chinmoy [2]
If you have inner peace,
nobody can force you to be
a slave to the outer reality.
As long as your heart remains
An ever-mounting aspiration-flame,
It makes no difference
What your weaknesses are.
I did not come into the world
To prove anything.
I came into the world
To love everyone
And everything.
I meditate
So that I can inundate
My entire being
With the omnipotent
Power of peace.
May each moment
Of my life
Be the sweetness-fragrance
Of my heart-rose
- Sri Chinmoy
Only by our positive thinking,
By our bringing the positive qualities
Of others to the fore,
Will this world be able
To make progress.
"Silence is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible."
Sri Chinmoy [9]
In the outer life
Simplicity is beautiful.
In the inner life
Simplicity is invincible.
The sun shines for everybody.
Some people take advantage
Of it and some people do not.
- Sri Chinmoy [11]
Try not to change the world.
You will fail.
Try to love the world.
Lo, the world is changed.
Changed forever.
Unhorizoned is our inner peace;
Like the boundless sky,
It encompasses all.
- Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy [13]
Your heart must become
A sea of love.
Your mind must become
A river of detachment.
Sri Chinmoy [14]
Months passed by
and the sage was only praying to God
for Peace, Light and Bliss- Sri Chinmoy
There is only one way
To be successful in life:
Always look
On the bright, brighter, brightest
Side of life.
Do not allow any thought
To disturb your inner poise.
I must silence my mind
At every moment
To feel the blessingful Presence
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.
