Sri Chinmoy quotes about
You do not have to be The fastest starter. Just be a starter! You will, without fail, Reach your destination-sun.
What does peace do? Peace blossoms. What else? Peace spreads. What else? Peace illumines. What else? Peace fulfils.
May peace-dreamers And peace-lovers Occupy the length and breadth Of the world.
When we listen to the Inner Voice, our outer life becomes full of peace.
Not by talking, but by praying And becoming something good, Can we offer peace to the world.
Not one But twenty-four self-giving-hours Every day I have For my use.
You and I create the world by the vibrations that we offer to the world.
It is only through inner peace that we can have true outer freedom.

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.
In the mind, we doubt and suspect, and we get a kind of pleasure, a kind of joy from that. But in the heart, we try to encompass the full world, and by loving the world, we get joy.
Even spiritually advanced people are often confused. They feel an inner ecstasy which comes from the vital world, and they think this is the real delight. But it is not so. Real delight comes from the highest world to the soul, and from the soul it saturates the whole being.
