Image
Hope is at once both simple and profound. It is hope that binds Heaven and earth. Hope is the bridge between Heaven and earth.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
At times to think of one's outer helplessness is good, but to think always of one's inner strength is infinitely better.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
If we can invoke Peace and then offer it to somebody else, we will see how Peace expands from one to two persons, and gradually to the world at large.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Meditation is the language of God. If we want to know what God's Will is in our life, if we want God to guide us, mould us and fulfil Himself in and through us, then meditation is the language that we must use.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Impossibility is a dictionary word.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Every second a seeker can start over, For his life's mistakes Are initial drafts And not the final version.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our inner wisdom-light.
Sri Chinmoy

When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Real meditation is not done by us. It is done by our Inner Pilot, the Supreme, who is constantly meditating in and through us. We are just the vessel, and we are allowing Him to fill us with His whole Consciousness.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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
Image
Lack of harmony comes when I feel that I know how to do something better than you. Lack of harmony is the song and dance of superiority. Because everybody feels superior, disharmony at every moment is entering into our lives.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Our mind thinks of death. Our heart thinks of life. Our soul thinks of Immortality.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
A peaceful worldIs an immediate, utter and absoluteNecessity.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Our goal is to go from bright to brighter to brightest, from high to higher to highest. And even in the highest, there is no end to our progress, for God Himself is inside each of us and God at every moment is transcending His own Reality.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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
Image
Remain cheerful, For nothing destructive can pierce through The solid wall of cheerfulness.
Sri Chinmoy

Spirituality is the science that teaches us how to achieve peace of mind and supreme satisfaction. Right now we are hankering after many, many things, but nothing we get satisfies us. Spirituality tells us that satisfaction can be found only if we lead a good and divine life-a life of simplicity, purity and humility.

How to overcome destructive criticism? Just love a little more. That's all.
Sri Chinmoy

Of all the medicines In the inner life, A smile is by far The best medecine.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Real joy means immediate expansion. If we experience pure joy, immediately our heart expands. We feel that we are flying in the divine freedom-sky. The entire length and breadth of the world becomes ours, not for us to rule over, but as an expansion of our consciousness. We become reality and vastness.
