Do not stop dreaming!
One day your world-peace-dream
Will inundate the entire world.
Our minds must kneel
In order to rise.
Our hearts must dream
In order to fly.
A man may be
Ordinary
But his dreams can be
Extraordinary.
Never allow anyone
To clip the silver wings
Of your golden dreams.
Each aspiring dream
Comes from a higher world
With a special significance
To awaken and illumine this earth.
If you want to remain always happy,
Then always keep inside your heart
A pocketful of sweet dreams.
Dreams keep
The world alive.
Dreams inspire us
To sail with the clouds.
When the mind
Is clear,
The dream
Is bright.
When the heart
Is pure,
The dream is
Beautiful.
No dream remains
Unfilled forever.
Dream of a mountain,
Silence becomes
Your name.
A dream is
The enlightenment
Of the mind and
The fulfilment
Of life.
A dream is
A winging bird
That flies in
The smiling sky.
Today’s dream
Is bound to be fulfilled
In tomorrow’s reality.
The fullness of life
Lies in dreaming
And manifesting
The impossible dream.
Dream, dream, dream
Then you will have no time
To suffer from despair.
My mind dreams
Of inner riches.
My heart lives
In inner riches.
I am happy
Infinitely happy,
Unimaginably happy,
Only when I am lost
In the sky of my dreams.
To pursue our golden-dreams
We must silence
Our hesitation-mind.
Dreams grow old;
Dreams die.
But visions never grow old;
Vision remains immortal.
May my earthly dreams
Give my heavenly friends
Tremendous joy.
Nobody
Has the right
To destroy your dreams
Or belittle your dreams.
Each dream
Is not only immeasurable
But unique in its own way.
My rainbow dreams
Every morning fly
In my heart-sky.
My soul
And I always dare
To travel the unchartered land
Of impossible dreams.
Where do I live?
I live in the illumination-beauty
Of my soul’s dream.
Every new day
Is the blossoming
Of a new dream.
Do not stop dreaming,
If you want to love
Your ever-blossoming heart.
May each day
My heart dream
Of a rainbow-sunrise.
May my heart become
A regular
Peace-dream-lover.
To complete
The golden dream of peace,
Selflessly serve
And unconditionally love.
A truth-loving man
Is sleeplessly devoted
To his unmanifested dreams.
May each dream of our soul
Find its complete fulfilment
On earth.
Each dream
Is a life-bloom today.
Each reality
Will be a life-blossom tomorrow.
If we are going to be
Successful in life,
Then we must put all our dreams
Immediately into action.
Each day comes to us
As a golden dream
To transform our hearts
Into our soul-delight.
My heart dreams
Are flooded
With celestial smiles.
~Sri Chinmoy
