The Wings of Joy - review
Highly Recommended: Now in its thirteenth printing Sri Chinmoy's The Wings of Joy
continues to be Sri Chinmoy's best seller. Especially compiled for the
Western reader, this is the book that will open the reader to the
beauty, inspiration, aspiration and contentment of living a life based on spiritual awareness.
The book is full of parables, anecdotes, stories and
poems about the fragility and uncertainty of our thoughts and existence when based on the limitations
of the physical mind, in comparison to the fulfilment, wisdom and
happiness of our deeper intuitive spiritual Self.
Sri Chinmoy offers the reader hope and the realisation
that a life of true satisfaction and contentment awaits those who practice
service, meditation and prayer. The development and manifestation of
our highest inner qualities is the real purpose of our existence when
offered with humility and love for the welfare of others.
"The Wings of Joy reminds all of us what is truly important. It is a blueprint for inner peace and true joy" - Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Contents:
Living in Joy, Meditation, Doubt and Faith, Humility,
From worry to confidence, The Power of Love, Jealousy, Cheerfulness and
Enthusiasm, Compassion, Patience, Hope, Peace, The Dance of Light.
True inner joy is self-created.
It does not depend on outer circumstances.
A river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy.
This divine joy is the sole purpose of life.
~Sri Chinmoy
Extract from Chapter Seven, 'The Power of Love' -
"Life is nothing but the expansion of love. We can
cultivate divine love by entering into the Source. The Source is God,
who is all love. We must try to love all of humanity with the inner
awareness, consciousness and conviction that inside each individual is
the living presence of God."
