Image
The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Life and sports cannot be separated they are one.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
The fulfilment of life is in the making and manifesting of impossible dreams.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
To hope is to feel the presence of the inner sun. The inner sun is the outer sun becomes.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
I did not come into the world to prove anything. I came into the world to love everyone and everything.
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
First of all, let us try to know what love is. If love means to possess someone or something, then that is not real love, not pure love. If loves means to give oneself, to become one with everything and everyone, then that is real love. Real love is total oneness with the object loved and with the Possessor of love.

Keep an open heart To allow the world Lovingly and faithfully To come in.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
The world is for newness, not for oldness. New, new things we have to create. Then only the world will progress. If not, we will come to feel that there is nothing new under the sun. We have to create new things to keep our joy. If there is no newness, how can we have enthusiasm? And if there is no enthusiasm, do we make any progress?
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Our human nature likes more to destroy than to build, more to cry than to smile, and more to correct the world than to love and embrace the world.
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
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
The Stormy life can be braved Only by the heart's Sunny meditations.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
God loves only one philosophy, And that is the Do-it-here-now philosophy.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
True humility means giving joy to others.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Real meditation we get from within or from a spiritual Master. We can never get it from books. From books we can get inspiration or an inner approach to the fulfilment of our outer life. But in order to have true meditation we have to go deep within or follow the guidance of a spiritual Master.

Your heart will be shattered by sorrow If you force it to live In tomorrow's ephemeral imagination-world Instead of in today's eternal Reality-Now.
