Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.

Sri Chinmoy

Listen to the inner light; it will guide you. Listen to inner peace; it will feed you. Listen to inner love; it will transform you, it will divinise you, it will immortalise you.

Sri Chinmoy

Smile, smile, smile at your mind as often as possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce your mind's tearing tension.

Sri Chinmoy

You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.

Sri Chinmoy

You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.

Sri Chinmoy

Belief comes spontaneously as well as by effort. Belief is power. An insincere and uninspired seeker is aware of the truth that belief is power, but he cannot go beyond understanding or awareness; whereas a sincere, genuine, devoted and surrendered seeker knows that belief is dynamic power, and he has this power as his very own.

Sri Chinmoy

If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.

Sri Chinmoy

The word 'yoga' means skill - skill to live your life, to manage your mind, to deal with your emotions, to be with people, to be in love and not let that love turn into hatred.

Sri Chinmoy

Love is the only wealth that man absolutely needs. Love is the only wealth that God precisely is.

Sri Chinmoy

Your heart will be shattered by sorrow if you force it to live in tomorrow's ephemeral imagination - world instead of in today's eternal reality - now.

Sri Chinmoy

All around us is the cosmic game, the cosmic play. The universe is full of joy, inner and outer. When realisation takes place, we have to feel the necessity of manifesting this constant delight in our heart. The delight glows, but does not burn. It has tremendous intensity, but it is all softness and absolutely sweet-flowing nectar.

Sri Chinmoy

Impossibility is a dictionary word.

Sri Chinmoy

If we call ourselves children of God, then others are also children of God.

Sri Chinmoy

My service to humanity is my real opportunity to prove my genuine love for God and God alone.

Sri Chinmoy

I don't blame people who suspect my performance. My own mind suspects it. How can I blame them?

Sri Chinmoy

When you drive, you are doing several things at once. You are using your eyes, ears, hands, your mind. If you have meditated for many years and have reached a lofty height in your meditation, as I have, you can meditate while running and cycling and painting.

Sri Chinmoy

Mysticism, poor mysticism! When it is underestimated and oversimplified, it comes down from its original sphere and stands beside religion.

Sri Chinmoy

We can change the world, but not improve it, if we do not have peace.

Sri Chinmoy

By hating that person, you have lost something very sweet in yourself.

Sri Chinmoy

There comes a time in the seeker's life when he discovers that he is at once the lover and the beloved.

Sri Chinmoy

If you depend on God's grace there is no such thing as impossible.
