Sri Chinmoy

Each aspirant has to be a divine soldier. He must consciously and constantly use his divine energy to drill himself into a liberated soul.

Each human being can at once be a fighter and forgiver. When self-doubt tortures him, he most play the role of a fighter. And when his own ignorance humiliates him, he must play the role of a forgiver.

Let us serve the world soulfully. The pay we will receive for our service will be in the currency of gratitude, God's gratitude, God the only gratitude.

A spiritual man should be a normal man, a sound man. God Himself is normal; He is not insane. In order to reach God, a spiritual person has to be divinely practical in his day-to-day activities. Spirituality does not negate the outer life. But we have to know that the outer life does not mean the animal life. The outer life should be the manifestation of the divine life within us.

Be kind, be all sympathy,
 For each and every human being  
Is forced to fight against himself.

Each time we think of anothers imperfections
We must feel most sincerely
That we are misusing and losing
The most precious life-breath
Of our God-Realisation dream.

You have no idea
How much you do for mankind
When you love God unconditionally
Even for a fleeting moment.

God's first Smile was born
The day humanity awoke
To His Light.

Man's eternal question is:
'Who is God?'
God's immediate answer is:
'My child, who else is God, if not you?

A spiritual life means:
"It is now or never."
