All poetry by Sri Chinmoy
Each sincere prayer
Embodies
A special Breath of God.
The children of happiness
Will create a new world.
Inspiration
Without speech
Is most powerful.
Listen first -
The Master is speaking!
Assimilate the Master’s messages,
Then speak to the world.
The invisible miracles
Help us tremendously
In our inner life and outer life.
A heart of peace
Does not find fault
With anybody.
By nature,
The heart is
Kind.
By nature,
The mind loves
Self-interest.
Each seeker
Is destined to have
A God-experience-life.
The inner long distance
Beckons us
To reach the ultimate Goal.
Remember,
You are not the only one
To love and serve God -
There are many others.
An aspiration-cry
Can change
The fate of one’s life.
The inner cries
Activate
The outer smiles.
Each heart-smile carries
The beauty and fragrance
Of Heaven.
The Goal itself comes
To the ego-less soul.
The Beauty of the One
And the duty of the many -
It is all the same.
God tells us
To look at His Creation
With the eyes of beauty.
A mystic silence
Guides my outer life.
There is no final stage
Of my God-preparation.
When we pray to God,
Loneliness disappears.
I do not know where I am going,
And I do not want to know
Where I am going,
As long as I feel in my heart
My Absolute Lord Supreme.
God wants each human being
To be a special pride
Of the earth planet.
God forgives all our weaknesses.
We must also do the same,
To make the fastest progress.
Each life-course
Is self-created.
Look at your own faults
With sincerity.
My life shall be all peace
When my surrender
Is complete.
Alas, I have knocked and knocked
On all the doors of the world,
Save and except my Lord’s.
Life is a journey -
So is death.
~ Sri Chinmoy
