Quote

What is Yoga? Yoga is self-conquest. Self-conquest is God-Realization. He who practices Yoga does two things with one stroke: he simplifies his whole life and he gets a freee access to the Divine.

What gives life its value if not its constant cry for self-transcendence?
Sri Chinmoy
Image
This world of ours has everything save and except one thing: peace. And this peace has to start from within. If I have peace of mind, then only can I be of help to you. If you have peace of mind, then only can you be of help to me.
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
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
To hope is to feel the presence of the inner sun. The inner sun is the outer sun becomes.
Sri Chinmoy

Meditation gives us peace of mind without a tranquilizer. And unlike a tranquilizer, the peace of mind that we get from meditation does not fade away. It lasts for good in some corner of the inmost recesses of our aspiring heart.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Instead of creating a reason why you cannot love the world, try to create a reason why you should and must love the world.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
My Lord does not want to know what I have done for Him. He just wants to know how I am. If he hears from me that I am happy, then he himself becomes exceedingly happy. In umistakable terms He tells me that my happiness is His real and only Satisfaction.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
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.
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
There is no human being on earth who does not have the capacity to offer the message of peace to the world at large. But what is needed now is the soulful willingness.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
It is better to make mistakes than to lie idle.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Next to meditation is music, soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Never give up hope! Hope ultimately succeeds.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Do not judge but love and be loved, if you want to be really happy.
Sri Chinmoy

Meditate Silently. You will be able to create a totally new life for yourself.
