If I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.

– Sri Chinmoy ¹

The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it.

– Sri Chinmoy ²

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. If our mind has all the questions, then our heart has all the answers.

– Sri Chinmoy ³

How can I have peace?
Not by talking about peace,
But by walking
Along the road of peace.

– Sri Chinmoy ⁴

We own peace only after we have totally stopped finding fault with others. We have to feel the whole world as our very own.

– Sri Chinmoy ²

My inner peace
Does not select anybody,
Does not reject anybody.
My inner peace
Always self-givingly projects itself.

– Sri Chinmoy ⁶

For peace of mind, prayer is essential. To pray to God for peace with full concentration and singleness of devotion even for five minutes is more important than to spend long hours in carefree and easy-going meditation.

– Sri Chinmoy ²

O my mind,
Do you really want peace?
Then shun competition-comparison,
World-criticism and self-criticism.

– Sri Chinmoy ⁸

We must resolve here and now, amidst all our daily activities, to throw ourselves, heart and soul, into the Sea of Peace.

– Sri Chinmoy ²

Unless we break down
Our barriers of suspicion and mistrust,
A mind of peace will always remain
A far cry for us.

– Sri Chinmoy ¹⁰

We must not allow our past to torment and destroy the peace of our heart. Our present good and divine actions can easily counteract our bad and undivine actions of the past.

– Sri Chinmoy ²

The inner peace
Must always be
Earned and achieved.

– Sri Chinmoy ¹²

Have little,
Need less:
This is the way
To inner peace.

– Sri Chinmoy ¹³
