“Divine surrender is the surrender that we make to our own highest part. Each individual has two realities: the higher reality and the lower reality. The lower reality is still unlit, obscure, impure; whereas the higher reality is all divine, all perfection. So we consciously try to bring our lower reality into the higher one for its illumination. This surrender is not made to somebody else, to a third person. No, this surrender is made to one’s own highest self.”

Sri Chinmoy, Inner peace and world peace, Agni Press, 1992

“If I cannot find peace within myself,
How can I offer even an iota of peace
To humanity?”

Peace means joy;
Joy means peace.

Be separated.

Eventually peace must
Pervade our outer life
And
Permeate our inner life.

Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.

Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, teach me how to surrender, 1975

Happy New Year,
Happy New Year!
Go forward,
Fly upward,
Dive inward!
No fear, no fear!

Sri Chinmoy

God has infinitely more hope
For our lives
