Quotes by Sri Chinmoy

"Peace begins when expectations end."

Today I must dive deep within
And know what I come
To this earth-stage for.

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.

For a genuine seeker,
The inner world
Is infinitely more real
Than the outer world.

Meditation is the only way to overcome fear. There is no other way. Why does meditation help us overcome fear? In meditation we identify ourselves with the vast, with the Absolute. When we are afraid of someone or something, it is because we do not feel that particular person or thing is a part of us. When we have established conscious oneness with the Absolute, with the Infinite Vast, the everything there is part of us. And how can we be afraid of ourselves?

Of all the medicines
In the inner life,
A smile is by far
The best medecine.

When we have
A childlike state of mind,
It becomes extremely easy to find God
Here, there and everywhere.

Listen to the inner light;
It will guide you.
Listen to the inner Peace;
It will feed you.
Listen to the inner Love;
It will transform you,
It will divinise you,
It will immortalise you.

Smile, smile , smile
At your mind
As often as possible.
Your smiling will considerably reduce
Your mind's tearing tension.

Your self-transcendence-goal
Is not something
That you have to achieve.
It was already given to you long ago
By your Beloved Supreme.
You have only to believe it.
You have only to receive it.
