For negativity
And learn the beautiful art
Of self-encouragement.”

“If you are happy, it will help you to a great extent. If you are unhappy, you won’t make any progress at all. On the contrary, you will be marching backwards. Real outer happiness is not self-deception. It does not come from wasting time and indulging in pleasure-life. Real outer happiness is something totally different. It comes from inner joy and inner satisfaction.”
Sri Chinmoy, 10
“If our happiness
Is not mutual,
It is meaningless

As its own, very own.”

Do not try to explain.

To be happy,
And that time
Is now!”
Sri Chinmoy, 16

I have offered to God,
My happiness-gift
He treasures most.”

To thank God,
And that way is
To keep myself always happy.”

“The lives of so many human beings
Are governed
By superficial happiness.”
