“My mind,
Keep your thoughts silent.
Keep your words silent.
Keep everything that you have
And you are silent
To make me and my heart
Extremely happy.”
– Sri Chinmoy 1
“The mind is full of turmoil, tension and obscurity on the surface, but when we go deep inside the mind we find the illumined mind, the intuitive mind, the higher mind and so on. These minds are constantly expanding, enlarging and trying to help the gross physical body to see the Truth, live the Truth and become the Truth.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“According to our understanding, the person who has a brilliant mind, the mental giant, is a superior being. But we have to know and accept the limitations of the mind. Unless we become aware of its deficiencies, we will not try to correct them.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“You have to feel during your intense meditation that you have nothing and are nothing but the heart. Feel that you do not have a body, you do not have a mind, but you have and you are only the heart.”
– Sri Chinmoy 4
“The earthbound mind is full of thoughts and restlessness on the surface, but in the depths of the mind there are no thoughts, it is all calm and quiet. So it is there that you have to go. When you are in that mind, the vacant, tranquil, calm mind, you can accomplish very many things at one time, because that mind is not the human mind; it is the divine mind.”
– Sri Chinmoy 5
“If the mind can be illumined by the heart, then the mind and the heart will be able to go together. Right now, inside everybody there is a constant fight going on between the two.”

– Sri Chinmoy 8
” Unfortunately, the mind cherishes three destructive forces. Even when the human mind sees that these forces are completely destroying it, still it does not want to get rid of them. These three destructive forces are doubt, suspicion and cynicism.”
– Sri Chinmoy 9
O my mind,
You talk too much!
Do follow my heart
That lives in silence.
– Sri Chinmoy 10
“When my mind falls silent,
Everything becomes perfect
In my life.”
– Sri Chinmoy 11
“The mind questions,
The mind answers,
But the mind is never satisfied
With the answers.”
– Sri Chinmoy 12
“The mind’s negativity
Is a most destructive reality
In our life.”
– Sri Chinmoy 13
The mind
Dearly loves
Separation.The heart
Deeply loves
Oneness.
– Sri Chinmoy 14
