44,027

Every morning
My Lord wants me to accept
New challenges-
Both in the outer world
And in the inner world.

44,031

Every day
I try to expand my horizons
Inwardly,
In silence.

44,035

My faith in my Master
Has to become
Invincible.

44,036

My soul wants my heart
To be
Extremely beautiful.

44,042

Every morning
I look far beyond
The things that I have already
Seen and known.

44,048

My selfless inner and outer deeds
Are bringing me closer and closer
To my Lord Beloved Supreme.

44,053

Life without hope
Is no life at all.

44,069

The happiest life
Is the life that gives and gives
With no expectation.

44,076

Not how long we pray,
But how sincere our prayer is,
Is of paramount importance.

44,087

Every day comes
With new charms and hopes
For me to become a better person.

44,090

A tiny Whisper
From my Inner Pilot
Gives me immediately
A world of new hope
And promise.

44,094

An act of self-giving
Brings my Lord
Closer to me
Immediately.

44,096

Be slow,
Be steady,
Be unerring,
For this is the absolutely best way
To realise God.

44,118

Everything will eventually
Fade into the background,
But not the tears
Of my God-loving heart.


~ Sri Chinmoy
