Sri Chinmoy

I love my enemies for two reasons: they inspire me to recognise my weakness. They also inspire me to perfect my imperfect nature.

Do you want to make progress? If so, then take each problem not as a challenging rival, but as an encouraging friend of yours, who is helping you to arrive at your ultimate destination.

The word "impossible" is only in the mindAnd not in the heart.If we can remain in the heart,There will be no end to our progress.

Death is not the end death can never be the end. Death is the road. Life is the traveller. The Soul is the Guide

Every second a seeker can start over,For his life's mistakesAre initial draftsAnd not the final version.

Death is not the endDeath can never be the end.Death is the road.Life is the traveller.The Soul is the Guide...Our mind thinks of death.Our heart thinks of lifeOur soul thinks of Immortality

No matter how fleeting Your smile is,Your smile is the very beginningOf your wisdom-light.

Look at your heart-flower and smile.You will be able to solve your most pressing problems.

Patience, increasing patience,Is all we needTo be victoriousIn the battlefield of life.

When I think good thoughts, I feel that man is not, after all, so bad.

What you powerfully holdIn your thought-worldWill make you eitherA street beggarOr a great king.

Hope knows no fear.Hope dares to blossom even inside the abysmal abyss.Hope secretly feeds and strengthens promise.

When we encourage othersWith no personal motives,We raise high, very high,Humanity's progress-standard.

Hope is sweet.Hope is illumining.Hope is fulfilling.Hope can be everlasting.Therefore, do not give up hope,Even in the sunset of your life.

The most important and most significant good quality in our human life is gratitude. Unfortunately, that good quality we somehow manage not to express either in our thoughts or in our actions. Right from the beginning of our life, we have somehow learned not to express it. So we have the least amount of the very thing that we need most in order to become a better person.

Gratitude is pure happiness.Happiness is sure perfection.

My heart's gratitudeIs My life's plenitude.

Gratitude is the creative force, the mother and father of love. It is in gratitude that real love exists. Love expands only when gratitude is there. Limited love does not offer gratitude. Limited love is immediately bound by something- by constant desires or constant demands. But when it is unlimited love, constant love, then gratitude comes to the fore. This love becomes all gratitude.
