Quote

Meditation simplifies our outer life and energizes our inner life. Meditation gives us a natural and spontaneous life, a life that becomes so natural and spontaneous that we cannot breathe without being conscious of our own divinity.

What gives life its value if not its constant cry for self-transcendence?
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Love is hope. Hope is nectar.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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
If you depend on God's grace there is no such thing as impossible.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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
Image
Alas, why does my mind have to walk through the dust of the past every day?
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Peace is something tangible. It silences the outgoing energy of the mind and feeds the aspiring heart. Peace is not merely the absence of quarreling and fighting. True peace is not affected by the roaring of the world, outer or inner. This sea of peace is at our command if we practise the spiritual life.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Hatred is a disguised form of love. You can only hate someone whom you really wish to love, because if you were totally indifferent to that person, you could not even get up enough energy to hate him.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The way to become happy Is to think And to feel That the very best is yet to come.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Even the tiniest of hopes can show me the way to arrive at my goal.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Be universal in your love. You will see the universe to be the picture of your own being.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
God is beyond definition. But according to one's own vision or receptivity, one will define God in one's own way. Some will say that God is all Love. Others will say that God is all Power. Each one will see God according to his own necessity, his own receptivity and, finally, according to the way God wants him to see the ultimate Truth.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
The Goal can disappear From the mind's sight But not From the heart's vision.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Those who run after happiness will never be happy. Happiness is something that has to come to the fore from within.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Meditation means conscious self-expansion. Meditation means one's conscious awareness of the transcendental Reality. Meditation means the recognition or the discovery of one's own true self. It is through meditation that we transcend limitation, bondage and imperfection.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
The real in me longs for peace. The unreal in me longs for power.
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.
