May 17th, 2008 — spirituality-
Inside the very depth of my heart
In a sweet and soulful tune
The love-avenue calls me.
Kettledrum and thunderbolt are enjoying
A divinely wild game in my sky
And are offering me fountain-songs
Of smile and delight.
- Sri Chinmoy

Why converse with ignorance?
You have infinitely more important
Things to do.

May 14th, 2008 — God-
God never thinks ill of us -
Never!
It is we who are quite apt
To think ill of ourselves.
The more we think ill of ourselves,
God’s Golden Shore sails away
Far, farther, farthest.
- Sri Chinmoy
Excerpt from: My Christmas-New Year-Vacation-Aspiration-Prayers Part 43
May 13th, 2008 — God-
If I give God anything -
Just a little,
An insignificant little-
Lovingly, cheerfully
And self-givingly,
God gets immense joy.
- Sri Chinmoy

May 12th, 2008 — Spiritual Master-
“… But if the original Guru made a promise to you, no matter where he lives, after leaving the earth, he has to be within you and with you to help you, even if you stay on earth for another forty or fifty years. In this case, it is just like having two rooms. Here is one room (life) and there is another room (death). Ordinary people cannot open the door. So when the Guru opens the door, he sees you, and when he goes back to his own room, he still has free access to this door. So once the Guru has made a promise, he is bound to keep it. He will not leave you until he has given you full realisation and has brought you to God.”
- Sri Chinmoy

May 9th, 2008 — gratitude-
“ Gratitude is a living reality. A seeker has to know that his most powerful capacity is gratitude. What God has is infinite Compassion and what we have is gratitude. God’s gift to man is infinite Compassion and our gift to God is an iota of gratitude to be placed at His Feet. Gratitude-power can never be surpassed. It is the only satisfaction we can offer God. This is not because God needs our gratitude but because He needs ample opportunity to enter into us in a more effective way, and gratitude increases our heart’s receptivity.”
From A God-Lover’s Earth-Heaven Life by Sri Chinmoy
May 8th, 2008 — spirituality-
“Experience is convinced of the fact that this world of ours is a battlefield. Here, bad and good, divine and undivine forces are constantly at war. Realisation knows that this world of ours is not a battlefield. It spontaneously knows that this world of ours is God’s all-transcending Vision-Tree and God’s all-nourishing Reality-Fruit.”
- Sri Chinmoy
Excerpt from Everest Aspiration part 1 - Experience and Realisation
May 6th, 2008 — spirituality-
Human service teaches me
How to become exceptionally great.
Divine service teaches me
How to become supremely good.
God-service teaches me
How to become Eternity’s Perfection-cry
And Infinity’s Perfection-smile.
- Sri Chinmoy
Excerpt from: My California Redwoods
May 5th, 2008 — hope-
Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond
My hope carries me and places me
On the sweetest lap of the unknown.
There I behold my Self-form
In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute.
- Sri Chinmoy
