...Meditation is acceptance... 

...It is the acceptance of life within us...

 

...without us and all around us... 

...Acceptance of life is the beginning of human satisfaction...

 

...Transformation of life is the culmination of divine satisfaction...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 ...There comes a time in seeker's life... 

...when he discovers that he is at once...

 

...the Lover and the Beloved...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...If I really want inner peace in my life...

 ...then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 ...I am in preparation... 

...I am in preparation for a new dawn... 

...a new morning and a new day...

 

...I shall consciously and forcefully bury my past experiences...

 

...experiences of failure , experiences of frustration , experiences of unworthiness...

 

...I shall bury them...

 

...I shall obliterate from my memory-tablet all the uncomely experiences... 

...the unillumining experiences , that I have had so far in my life... 

...I am in preparation for an ever-new life...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...I compete only with myself...

...and I try to become a better human being...

... This is my goal...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...This morning during my meditation...

 ...I had a glimpse of my soul...

...For the first time...

 ...Never before have I seen anything so beautiful...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Your soul has a special mission... 

...Your soul is supremely conscious of it...

...Maya , illusion or forgetfulness , makes you feel that you are finite , weak and helpless... 

...This is not true... 

...You are not the body... 

...You are not the senses... 

...You are not the mind... 

...These are all limited... 

...You are the soul , which is unlimited... 

...Your soul is infinitely powerful... 

...Your soul defies all time and space...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 ...Service is the secret of true happiness...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...But if you want to make yourself happy... 

...sincerely happy...

...if you want to grow into happiness...

...then right from this moment only offer gratitude... 

...gratitude... 

...gratitude to the Supreme...

...for you are on the path... 

...and you are doing the right thing by offering gratitude...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...The most important and most significant good quality in our human life is gratitude... 

...Unfortunately , that good quality... 

...we somehow manage not to express either in our thoughts or in our actions... 

...Right from the beginning of our life...

...we have somehow learned not to express it... 

...So we have the least amount of the very thing... 

...that we need most...

...in order to become a better person...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...It is not human nature... 

...to enjoy what we get...

...with no effort...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Simplicity... 

...is an advanced course...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...If we have a simple existence, we shall feel how happy and how fortunate we are...

...There are some people who are of the opinion that simplicity is almost tantamount to stupidity...

 

...But simplicity and stupidity are like the North Pole and the South Pole... 

...One can be as simple as a child and... 

...at the same time...

...one can have boundless knowledge , light and wisdom...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Life is effort...

...So says the body...

...Life is blessing...

 ...So says the soul...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...He is the great winner who wins...

...He is the greater winner who is the cheerful loser...

...He is the greatest winner who gives equal value to victory and defeat...

...He alone is the real loser who separates defeat from victory...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Complete and total satisfaction will come about only... 

...when we feel that our perfection is no perfection... 

...as long as the rest of humanity... 

...remains imperfect...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Nobody can properly understand... 

...life’s countless riddles...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 ...Fear is bound to disappear... 

...when you realize that failure is not something shameful... 

...damaging... 

...destructive...

...or painful... 

...but something natural...

- Sri Chinmoy -

 

...Choose a friend... 

...He will help you... 

...Alas , he deserts you... 

...Choose an enemy... 

...He will fight against you... 

...Lo , he corrects and perfects you...

- Sri Chinmoy -

...Be wise ! ...

...Constantly keep...

...Your inner fears and doubts...

...Under your perfect control...

- Sri Chinmoy -
