“You can obtain purity by constantly feeling that you are a three-year-old child, or you can feel that you are a flower, a beautiful flower with fragrance, and nothing else. In this way you can obtain purity.”

Sri Chinmoy, Sri Chinmoy speaks, part 8, Agni Press, 1976

I take each failure as an opportunity
To increase my surrender
And destroy my frustration-life.

I take each success as an opportunity
To bring forward my gratitude-heart
And totally destroy my ego-life.

Only by serving

Its own reward.

Our God-faith

“How is it that a man does not know himself, something which ought to be the easiest of all his endeavours? He does not know himself precisely because he identifies himself with the ego and not with his real Self.”

Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul, Agni Press, 1971

“No price is too great to pay for inner peace. Peace is the harmonious control of life. It is vibrant with life-energy. It is a power that easily transcends all our worldly knowledge. Yet it is not separate from our earthly existence. If we open the right avenues within, this peace can be felt here and now.”

Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul., Agni Press, 1971

“We must not allow our past to torment and destroy the peace of our heart. Our present good and divine actions can easily counteract our bad and undivine actions of the past. If sin has the power to make us weep, meditation has undoubtedly the power to give us joy, to endow us with the divine Wisdom.”

Sri Chinmoy, Yoga and the spiritual life. The journey of India’s Soul., Agni Press, 1971

“What is Yoga? Yoga is self-conquest. Self-conquest is God-realisation. He who practises Yoga does two things with one stroke: he simplifies his whole life and he gets a free access to the Divine.”
