Quote

I do not compete with anybody else I compete only with myself. You saw my capacity a few minutes ago. Now I am competing with myself. When I do weightlifting, my body is my world. If I can improve myself, if I can go beyond my previous achievements, then that is my goal. My own previous record is always what I am competing with.

There is no fundamental difference between one religion and another, because each religion embodies the ultimate Truth. Each religion is right, absolutely right, because each religion conveys the message of Truth in its own way.

Life and sports cannot be separated they are one.
Sri Chinmoy

Unless and until you have developed a heart inundated with compassion, do not sit on the seat of judgement.
Sri Chinmoy

Lack of harmony comes when I feel that I know how to do something better than you. Lack of harmony is the song and dance of superiority. Because everybody feels superior, disharmony at every moment is entering into our lives.

The reason I have entered into bodybuilding and weightlifting is to inspire everybody to pray and meditate so they can bring to the fore their own inner strength. If everybody brings to the fore his own inner strength, the world will eventually be inundated with peace.

Sympathy has to be the first and foremost thing in one's life, sympathy and the feeling of oneness. There cannot be anything greater than the feeling of oneness .

You have no idea How much you do for mankind When you love God unconditionally Even for a fleeting moment.
Sri Chinmoy

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.

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

The Goal can disappear From the mind's sight But not From the heart's vision.
Sri Chinmoy

Next to meditation is music, soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness.

He who loves, never grows old. God it a shining example.

Complete and total perfection will come about only when we feel that our perfection is no perfections as long as the rest of humanity remains imperfect.
Sri Chinmoy

Our mind thinks of death. Our heart thinks of life. Our soul thinks of Immortality.
Sri Chinmoy
Image
Where love is thick, faults are thin. If you really love someone, then it is difficult to find fault with him. His faults seem negligible, for love means oneness.

Silence is not silent. Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still. Silence leads. It leads most perfectly.
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?

I live in between My heart's compassion-rain And my life's oneness-gain.

Love is hope. Hope is nectar.
