Sri Chinmoy quotes about
Meditation gives us peace of mind without a tranquilizer. And unlike a tranquilizer, the peace of mind that we get from meditation does not fade away. It lasts for good in some corner of the inmost recesses of our aspiring heart.
My life is only half full When I receive. My heart is completely full Only when I give.
How do you meditate? You meditate with an inner cry. There should be an inner cry here, in the heart. The outer cry is ego-centred; it wants name and fame. ... While you are feeling this inner cry, you try to make the mind absolutely calm and quiet. If a thought enters your mind, you try to reject it. Consider this thought as a fly. When a fly comes to land on your arm, you don't allow the fly to remain; you just wave your hand and it goes away.
God's foremost treasure on earth Is my ever-blossoming Gratitude-heart.
Be in love with your heart-life. There, only there, Is the flood of happiness.
There is only one immediate question: Where is God? The immediate answer is: God is where My heart's love-breath is.
Precious and spacious The aspiring heart has to remain Always.
You may not know, But it is absolutely true: With each heartbeat Your heart is calling: "God, God!" You may not hear it, But God Himself definitely hears Your heart's cry.
Either by silencing the mind or by opening the heart, today's man can become tomorrow's God, tomorrow's Divinity. And embodied Divinity soon becomes revealed Immortality.
God tells me that My happy heart Increases the beauty Of His universal Heart.
Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling. Silent is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.
If you want to simplify your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to fulfil your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to have joy and offer joy to the world at large, then meditation is the only answer.
Meditation is the eye that sees the Truth, the heart that feels the Truth and the soul that realises the Truth.
Smile, smile , smile At your mind As often as possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce Your mind's tearing tension.
