26,802

My Lord tells me that
My soulful smile
Is by far
My best achievement.


26,803

My inner courage
Is a most illumining
And fulfilling assistant
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.


26,810

May, my Lord,
I do everything,
Everywhere and every day
The way You want me to do.


26,813

When I do not pray and meditate,
The undivine forces
Force me to become friends with
Gloomy thoughts and cloudy skies
In my inner life.


26,815

O my silence-mind,
You are my heart's
Sweetest fountain-delight.


26,818

When I live inside my heart-garden,
Deep I drink
The music of sweetness
And soulfulness.


26,825

O seekers,
Do not loose courage!
Do not lose hope!
The saints of today
Were not saints yesterday.


26,827

God forgives all our shortcomings
Save and except
Our indifference to humanity.


26, 837

Nobody can fulfil
His soul's manifestation-promise
Unless an unconditional Grace
Descends from Above.


26,842

If the mind has enthusiasm
And the heart has eagerness,
Then we can fly in the skies
Of the ever-transcending Beyond.


26,844

Each positive thought
Rightly deserves
To be multiplied and magnified.

~ Sri Chinmoy
