Give up anything.
Just value your spiritual life
And automatically you will feel
That this new life of yours
Comes first.”

Be careful!
You are not entitled
To while away your time.”

“It is a mistaken idea that the spiritual life is a life of austerity and a bed of thorns. No, never! We came from the Blissful. To the Blissful we shall return with the spontaneous joy of life. It seems difficult because we cater to our ego. It looks unnatural because we cherish our doubts.”
– Sri Chinmoy 3
“Life is a long road.
Along the road at every moment
We must remain cheerful and
Self-offering.”
– Sri Chinmoy 4
“Spirituality can and should be practised irrespective of place and time. Anybody on earth can practise spiritual life. Spiritual life can never be an artificial life. Spiritual life is something which is natural and spontaneous.”
– Sri Chinmoy 5
“Acceptance, the acceptance of life with a divine attitude, is not only a lofty idea, but the very ideal of life.”
– Sri Chinmoy 6
“Acceptance of the life divine is the transcendence of human ego. The transcendence of ego is man’s real dignity and true worth.”
– Sri Chinmoy 6
“Those who run after happiness will never be happy. Happiness is something that has to come to the fore from within.”
– Sri Chinmoy 8
“Do not blame the circumstances!
You must rise far above
The domain of circumstances.”
– Sri Chinmoy 9
“No matter where you are,
You do have the hidden capacity
To climb higher and dive deeper,
Even if it is just an inch.”
– Sri Chinmoy 10
“Since life is but a continuous
Series of experiences,
Everything ultimately helps me
Towards my final enlightenment.”
– Sri Chinmoy 11
“A spiritually established life
Is not an easy task,
But
A materially satisfied life
Is an impossible task.”
– Sri Chinmoy 12
