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

From a guilt-stricken conscience.

Your past
Once and for all
And begin a new life
With a new promise-dawn.

Locked inside your mind,

And your poor heart
Do for you?

Then eventually you are bound to win
In your spiritual life.
God’s final Decision:

He will never end the world,
No matter how bad the world becomes.
The Christ told the Truth. The Truth existed before. The Christ became the Truth. Hence the Truth lives and breathes on earth.

Jesus was great.
Greater was His mercy.
Greatest was His sacrifice.

Tolerance
Is a secret and sacred way
To enrich our human life.

A vice does not remain a vice
When I am absolutely determined
To transform it into a virtue.
– Sri Chinmoy
What you need is
Determination-fire.
Uneasiness, unwillingness and unreadiness
Will all surrender
To the beauty and fragrance
Of determination.
