Today’s impossible achievements
Tomorrow may appear
As inevitability.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9, Agni Press, 1998

O my mind,
You yourself are empty of peace.
How do you dare to bring about
World-peace?

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9, Agni Press, 1998

It is only through inner peace that we can have true outer freedom.

Sri Chinmoy, AUM — Vol. 1, No. 6, 27 June 1974, Vishma Press, 1974

Self-acceptance
Is the dawn of satisfaction.
Self-confidence
Is the noon of perfection.

Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 168, Agni Press, 1992

Purity awakens the real in me:
Oneness.
Humility strengthens the real in me:
Perfection.
Gratitude enlightens the real in me:
Satisfaction.

Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 10, Agni Press, 1981

One of the main faults
Of a fool
Is that he never changes
His mind.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 22, Agni Press, 2001

Do you want to be always happy?
Then give up fighting
For negativity
And learn the beautiful art
Of self-encouragement.”

– Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 12
