“Life and hope are inseparable. Life is the body, and hope is the intuitive divinity in us, the divinity that wants to transcend the reality which we presently are. Hope is man’s seeking, hope is man’s inner urge, hope is man’s upward flight into the Beyond.”

Sri Chinmoy, Fifty Freedom-Boats to one Golden Shore, part 2, Agni Press, 1974

“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

“A new year is a new life. A new life is a new second. A new second is a new opportunity. A new opportunity is a new blessing from the Infinite Supreme.”

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
