More quotes by Sri Chinmoy
Meditation is silence. Silence is God In His Infinity's Smile.
Sri Chinmoy
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.
Sri Chinmoy
What you do not use yourself, do not give to others. For example, advice.
Sri Chinmoy
There is a peace That fruitfully lives for me Infinitely more Than I can live for myself.
Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy
Character is the colossal hope of human improvement within and without.

Sri Chinmoy
There is no greater miracle than our conscious efforts to become good human beings.
Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy
Either consciously or unconsciously we are searching for the highest Self, which is at once eternal and infinite.
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
All athletes, without fail, are potentially great and good. A great athlete is a little man tirelessly inspired.
Sri Chinmoy
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
A spiritual life means: It is now or never.
Sri Chinmoy
Beyond speech and mind, Into the river of ever-effulgent Light My heart dives. Today thousands of doors, closed for millennia, Are opened wide.
Sri Chinmoy
If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.
Sri Chinmoy
God loves only one philosophy, And that is the Do-it-here-now philosophy.
Sri Chinmoy
Each new day beckons you to walk on the road of self-transcendence. We transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We compete only with our previous achievements, and we get joy. Life is nothing but a perpetual possibility.
Sri Chinmoy
