Sri Chinmoy quotes about
Man thinks his mind's love for world power and his heart's love for world peace can live together. Indeed, this is the height of man's stupidity.
War forgets peace. Peace forgives war. War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine. Our vital passions want war. Our psychic emotions desire peace.
This world of ours has everything save and except one thing: peace. And this peace has to start from within. If I have peace of mind, then only can I be of help to you. If you have peace of mind, then only can you be of help to me.
This world of ours has everything except one thing: peace. Everybody wants and needs peace, whether he be a child or an octogenarian.
World peace can blossom throughout the length and breadth of the world only when the world-peace-dreamers, world-peace-lovers and world-peace-servers desperately, sleeplessly and breathlessly long for the full manifestation of peace here on earth.
To come back to the secret of inner peace, our questioning and doubting mind is always wanting in peace. Our loving and dedicated heart is always flooded with inner peace.
God has not forgotten To give us peace. He is just waiting for us To ask for it.
Paradise is not a place; it's a state of consciousness.
Our soul lives in Peace and lives for Peace. If we live a life of peace, we are ever enriched and never impoverished. Unhorizoned is our inner peace; like the boundless sky, it encompasses all.
Peace we achieve When we do not expect anything From the world, But only give, give, and give Unconditionally What we have and what we are.
No price is too great to pay for inner peace. Peace is the harmonious control of life. It is vibrant with life-energy. It is a power that easily transcends all our worldly knowledge. Yet it is not separate from our earthly existence. If we open the right avenues within, this peace can be felt here and now.
Greatness is a matter of a moment. Goodness is the work of a lifetime.
Yes, I can! I certainly can! I can have A gratitude-flower-heart That shall remain open At all hours.
At times to think of one's outer helplessness is good, but to think always of one's inner strength is infinitely better.
