More quotes by Sri Chinmoy
lf you ever dare to fight against hatred, then there is but one weapon: Love.
Sri Chinmoy
True religion has a universal quality. It does not find fault with other religions. False religions will find fault with other religions they will say that theirs is the only valid religion and their prophet is the only saviour. But a true religion will feel that all the prophets are saviours of mankind.
Sri Chinmoy
How can one know who his spiritual teacher is?...His heart looks at the spiritual Masters and makes the choice. When the heart sees a spiritual Master, if it is overwhelmed with joy, then there is every probability that that spiritual Master is the right one for the seeker.
Sri Chinmoy
What gives life its value if not its constant cry for self-transcendence?
Sri Chinmoy
Your heart will be shattered by sorrow If you force it to live In tomorrow's ephemeral imagination-world Instead of in today's eternal Reality-Now.
Sri Chinmoy
We are all God's children. But world-peace-dreamers, world-peace-lovers and world-peace-servers are undoubtedly God's choicest children.
Sri Chinmoy
Enthusiasm Rules his inner world. Determination Rules his outer world. Therefore Happiness has become His real name.
Sri Chinmoy
Surrender is a journey from the outer turmoil to the inner peace.
Sri Chinmoy
This world of ours has everything except one thing: peace. Everybody wants and needs peace, whether he be a child or an octogenarian.
Sri Chinmoy
Man-made religions find fault with one another, whereas God-made religion is eternally a oneness-song - God-manifestation through human aspiration on earth.
Sri Chinmoy
If I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.
Sri Chinmoy
If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.
Sri Chinmoy
No religion is absolutely perfect. Yet not only do we fight for religion, but also are we often willing to sacrifice our lives for it. And what we hopelessly fail to do is to live it. A true religion is that which has no caste, no creed, no colour. It is but an all-uniting and all-pervading embrace.
Sri Chinmoy
You have no idea How much you do for mankind When you love God unconditionally Even for a fleeting moment.
Sri Chinmoy
If you are already an awakened soul, Then you must realise That God has already given you A supreme task to perform: He wants you to work For His Vision's world-blossoms.
Sri Chinmoy
Silence is the nest and music is the bird. The bird leaves the nest early in the morning and returns to the nest in the evening. Similarly, in the spiritual world, divine music comes from the inmost soul of Silence.
Sri Chinmoy
Inside each one of us is a beautiful flower garden. This is the garden of the soul. With each lesson we learn, the garden grows. As we learn together, our individual gardens form a tranquil paradise.
Sri Chinmoy
When I think good thoughts, I feel that man is not, after all, so bad.
Sri Chinmoy
God can be seen Even by the poorest fool, But not by the self-styled, God-arguing Intellectual giants.
Sri Chinmoy
Sacrifice does not mean that, by giving, we lose something. We sacrifice our limited self to our highest and largest Self, and at that time we immediately become the largest and the highest Self.
Sri Chinmoy
