All poetry by Sri Chinmoy

Sacredness and purity
Have completely disappeared
From the world.


God acts in and through me
Only when I do not expect anything
From Him.


A heart of peace
Is
The strongest force.


Self-giving actions
Are absolutely rare.


Each goal attained
Is the very beginning
Of a higher goal.


One divine smile
Is quite enough
To establish friendship
In many hearts.


Anything we do with soulfulness
Pleases God infinitely more
Than we can ever imagine.


Realisation -
Is God-oneness -
Inseparable and eternal.


Each seeker
Has come into the world
To offer love divine
To this world.


Life is all about
The unlearning of the mind
And the learning of the heart.


Life
Is God
In action.


Death
Is God
At rest.


Life shows us
What beauty is.


Death shows us
What peace is.


Our goal is to have
A constantly God-fulfilling life.


In each tiny drop
We must try to discover
The vastness of the ocean.


My life
Is an ever-increasing extension
Of God's Compassion.


Independent
Nobody is -
We just fool ourselves.


My insecurity
Is totally empty
Of light.


The soul gives us our progress
And watches over our progress
As well.


Love what you do for God
God will love you
Infinitely more.


You can fulfil God
Only if you have conquered
Yourself.


When we kneel down before God,
God's Divinity does not increase,
But our own divinity increases
In boundless measure.


My inner vision
Must come to the fore
To illumine the world
Around me.


All is lost
When we lose
Faith in ourselves.


Once we have reached a higher goal,
We must try to remain there,
Until we are called to reach
An even higher goal.


Constant love of God
Is, indeed,
The birthright of every seeker.


~ Sri Chinmoy
