My Morning Soul-Body Prayer-Poems
Early each morning Sri Chinmoy begins his day by exercising, lifting heavy dumbbells in a specially constructed overhead frame. Before he lifts he pauses for a moment in silent prayerful reflection, then offers each day - a new morning prayer. These prayers form the 17 volumes of the My Morning Soul-Body Prayers series. With over 3,500 prayers to date, these selected prayers are from the first edition Part 1, completed in 1998.
Limited copies of My Morning Soul-Body Prayers are available from - Heart-Light Distributors.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My prayer to God tells me
How far away my mind is
From God.
My meditation on God tells me
How close my heart is
To God.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my self-giving
Remain ever-increasing
To see Your creation smiling
And Your Heartbeats dancing.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May I prayerfully breathe in Love
From your Heart
And soulfully breathe out peace
To all my brothers and sisters
Of the world.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my heart love You
Exactly the way my soul loves You.
May my life need You
Exactly the way my heart needs You.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my past life
Not remain in me as a thorn.
May my present life
Be the beauty of my heart.
May my future life
Be the fragrance of my soul.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
There is only one real failure in my life,
And that failure is
When I do not come to You
Lovingly, cheerfully and self-givingly.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May this be my last prayerful promise:
I shall never, never, never
Lose faith in you.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
We do not realise
That in order to be perfect
In our outer life,
We must be perfect
In our inner heart first.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
~Sri Chinmoy
