Wisdom from the Master: Hope and self-giving
Do not allow yourself
To be ruled by dark doubts.
Make friends with bright hopes
At every moment
To change your own world
And the world around you.
Mine is the wisdom-light
That tells me to ask
Not for a lighter burden,
But for a stronger heart.
Do not be afraid of tasting
The bitterness of failure.
Be brave!
The sweetness of success
Will before long befriend you.
Inside I live
Soulfully and sleeplessly.
Outside I give
Generously and unconditionally.
The seeker’s offering
Of an iota of gratitude to God
Is as beautiful as a rose
Held by God in His own hand.
Since the beginning of creation
Self-giving and happiness
Have been oneness-friends.
Inside a self-giving purity-heart
I see always
A thousand smiles shining brightly.
Each devoted moment
Prepares a beautiful sunrise
And a fruitful sunset.
It is an exceptional privilege
To have the beauty of
A serene mind
The purity of a loving heart
And
The divinity of a humble life.
Only two miracles are
Worth seeing:
The miracle of loving
And
The miracle of forgiving.
Wisdom of Sri Chinmoy: reflections
What powerfully you hold
In your thought-world
Will make you either
A street Beggar
Or a great king.
A genius is he
Who ends rules and regulations.
A genius is he
Who is nothing but a powerful
Drop
In the ocean of cosmic
Life-energy.
A falsehood-loving man
Is helplessly attached
To his unfulfilled desires.
A truth-loving man
Is sleeplessly devoted
To his unmanifested dreams.
God hears
The soulful prayers of a seeker
Not only with great readiness
But also with immediate
Oneness.
My Love of God
Has no need of Heaven’s Bliss,
For my love of God Itself,
Is the highest Bliss.
My Lord does not ask me
For my mind’s brilliance
He only asks me
For my Heart’s radiance.
When peace is multiplied
Truth is multiplied
When truth is multiplied
Love is multiplied
When love is multiplied
God is multiplied.
Do not allow
Your pure flower-heart
To inherit the shameless
Corruption
Of your blind and wild mind.
I gave God what I have
And what I am:
My willingness.
God is now giving me
What he has and what He is:
His Fullness. - Sri Chinmoy
