Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater. Ignorance hates knowledge because it is too pure. Knowledge fears ignorance because it is too sure.

More quotes by Sri Chinmoy
If you play divine music, spiritual music, then you are bound to give and get satisfaction.
Sri Chinmoy
What you do not use yourself, do not give to others. For example, advice.
Sri Chinmoy
Doubt is an old disease. Faith is an old medicine. Compassion is an old doctor. Concern is an old nurse.
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
By hating that person, you have lost something very sweet in yourself.
Sri Chinmoy
Say I have set my goal at 300 pounds, and I cannot do it. The very fact that I have been devotedly practising and practising gives me joy, and the tenacity or perseverance that I am showing is itself progress. Anything that we do devotedly and soulfully helps us make progress.
Sri Chinmoy
Love is the only wealth that man absolutely needs. Love is the only wealth that God precisely is.
Sri Chinmoy
Now is the time to make good use of time. Today is the day to begin a perfect day.
Sri Chinmoy
Man thinks his mind's love for world power and his heart's love for world peace can live together. Indeed, this is the height of man's stupidity.
Sri Chinmoy
Run and become. Become and run. Run to succeed in the outer world. Become to proceed in the inner world.
Sri Chinmoy
Hope is not an idle term. Hope is the reality that can and does reveal itself to us at God's choice hour. To hope is to know the secret of achievement.
Sri Chinmoy
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
True humility means giving joy to others.
Sri Chinmoy
The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.
Sri Chinmoy
Do not cherish suffering. Don't act like a fool. Don't think that your suffering is going to accelerate your spiritual progress.
Sri Chinmoy
God's first Smile was born The day humanity awoke To His Light.
Sri Chinmoy
Meditation is the eye that sees the Truth, the heart that feels the Truth and the soul that realises the Truth.
Sri Chinmoy
In my weightlifting I am trying to show that if you pray and meditate, you can bring to the fore your inner strength. Now, if somebody is really inwardly strong, he is always at peace.
Sri Chinmoy
If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.
Sri Chinmoy
Do not try to entrap others with your haughty knowledge. To your wide surprise, they will entrap you with their lengthy ignorance.
Sri Chinmoy
