Flight Poems
As a special tribute to the Anniversary of a Century of Flight, Sri Chinmoy physically lifted on an overhead lifting apparatus 100 pilots in appreciation for their dedicated services in carrying humanity into the skies.
Below are the poems on flight from the book Flight Century by Sri Chinmoy.
Every day
You have to reconfirm
Your aspiration-reservation
On your heart-flight.
Fly, fly, O my mind,
Upwards towards
The summit-height-bliss.
May my heart-bird
Fly
Into the stars.
The happiness of the heart
Supplies us with the wings
To fly
In God's own Heart-Sky.
Eagerness
Gives us the wings
To fly
In the sky of freedom.
Aspiration-flight
Is a real victory
For human hope.
I was born
To take
Life-liberating flight.
My heart-bird
Sleeplessly enjoys
Soaring aspiration-flight.
Have you lost the boarding pass
For your Heaven-flight?
If so,
Enter into your heart-garden
And collect some beauty-flowers
And offer them to the ticket-checker.
If you have an aspiration-heart,
Then allow it to enjoy
The soaring eagle-flight
Of your progress-smile.
Be at every moment
A God-adventure-lover
To fly on the wings
Of positive thoughts.
Use your willingness-wings!
Your life will be able to fly
In the blue sky of Infinity.
What is happiness?
Happiness is the producer
Of ceaseless energy.
It is our heart's willingness
That has the capacity to help us fly
To our highest happiness-heights.
A good thought
Must never be kept encaged.
Let it fly
In humanity's oneness-freedom-sky.
You can fly
At faster than the fastest speed
If you can learn the art
Of silencing your mind.
My rainbow-dreams
Every morning fly
In my heart-sky.
Sleeplessly I shall fly
Until
I prayerfully arrive
At my Lord's Heart-Nest.
My heart-wings fly
High, very high,
And bring down dreams
From Above.
~ Sri Chinmoy
