This world
Is unimaginably beautiful
Except to the self-styled critics.

This world
Is unimaginably beautiful
Except to the self-styled critics.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Alas, what are we doing?
We are trying to conceal ourselves
From our universal selves!
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
One wrong thought
Can ruin everything
At the journey’s start.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Clear the mind
Of all its
Discouraging thoughts.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
My aim
Is to live the life
Of a genuine self-giver.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Because my heart
Is spiritual,
My life belongs to all.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
My soul does not eclipse
Anybody’s sun-beauty.
On the contrary,
It helps others to shine their brightest.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
The sun of Infinity’s Light
Is inside my heart.
I must bring it to the fore
For the transformation of the world.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Humility, indeed,
Is infinitely greater
Than man-considered greatness.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
We must bring down Heaven
And feel its divine Beauty
And supreme Fragrance
Here on earth.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Gratitude
Is an unimaginable joy
For both humanity
And Divinity.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Ego is illusion, delusion,
Self-aggrandisement
And many things more.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Sterling service to God
Should be the dream and reality
Of a genuine God-seeker.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Very long ago
God had a Dream.
The Dream is not yet fulfilled.
What is that Dream?
Humanity’s radical transformation.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Whenever we are kind and compassionate
To a human being,
It must never be mere lip-service.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Nothing can be more beautiful,
Nothing can be more meaningful,
Nothing can be more fruitful
Than God’s Forgiveness.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
First achieve mastery
Over your own life —
Then only can you be
A world-transforming hero.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Self-control
Is of paramount importance
To see the Face
And feel the Heart
Of God.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
If I do not love myself
In a divine way,
Then my spiritual life
Will be a total failure.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Finally
I have cast aside
My ego-pride.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Forgiveness and happiness
Shall forever remain
Inseparable.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
The outer sound
Can never be as powerful
As the inner silence.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Silence can easily
Challenge and conquer
The pride of sound.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Meditation is perfect
Only when the seeker
Feels God’s Presence
Inside his heart.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
Fear means
The absence of
God-oneness-love.
Humility is the height
Of inner strength.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 37, Agni Press, 2004
“Your mind may not know
What will make you happy,
But your heart does know
How to make you happy.
Listen to your heart.”
“I have two
Most significant friends:
My soul
And my soul’s unfinished task.”
“Beauty divine sings
Only for the illumining soul
And the self-giving heart.”
“May my meditation
Lose its heart
Inside God’s Silence-Eye.”
