Sri Chinmoy Quotes

Try not to change the world. You will fail. Try to love the world. Lo, the world is changed. Changed forever.

Not by blaming the world, not by shunning the world, but only be loving the world can I have peace of mind

Love the world. Otherwise, you will be forced to carry the heaviest load: your own bitter self.

Yesterday I was clever,
That is why I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
That is why I am changing myself.

I am very happy
Because I have conquered myself
And not the world.
I am very happy
Because I have loved the world
And not myself.

You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does

Death is not the end
Death can never be the end.

Death is the road.
Life is the traveller.
The Soul is the Guide

...

Our mind thinks of death.
Our heart thinks of life
Our soul thinks of Immortality

Death is not the end death can never be the end. Death is the road. Life is the traveller. The Soul is the Guide

Hope is sweet.
Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope,
Even in the sunset of your life.

Hope knows no fear.

Hope dares to blossom even inside the abysmal abyss.

Hope secretly feeds and strengthens promise.

Peace begins when expectations end.

Deepen your faith in yourself.
Nothing will be able
To frighten or weaken you.

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.

Your mind has a flood of questions.
There is but one teacher
Who can answer them.
Who is that teacher?
Your silence-loving heart.

Beyond speech and mind,
Into the river of ever-effulgent Light
My heart dives.
Today thousands of doors, closed for millennia,
Are opened wide.

True gratitude can never come
From the mind.
It has to flow from the heart
To the mind, vital and body
Until everything that we have and are
Is a sea of gratitude.

When you are right, everything around you is right, for the beautiful flow that is inside your heart has the capacity to spread its fragrance of oneness-light all around you.

Your defeats in life's battlefield
Will soon be ending,
Because your mind is no longer indifferent
To your heart's spontaneous enthusiasm.

The language of the heart
Is the only language
That everybody can understand.

I shall now call myself;
I shall now call.
In the forest of my heart, seeing myself,
I shall love myself and love myself.
I shall be my own quest,
My absolute wealth.
The journey of light supreme will commence
In the heart of freedom.
