The meditation that gives you immediate joy or continuous joy is the best meditation for you. Everyone will not have the same meditation. Your meditation will not suit me, my meditation will not suit you. You like a certain food, I don't like it. You are right in your own way I am right in my own way. But once you know what your best meditation is, please stick to it.

Suits You, Giving, Meditation

"Twenty Seven Thousand Aspiration Plants". Poetry series by Sri Chinmoy (#14805, Part 37), 1983.

In the spiritual life the easiest way to conquer ego is to offer gratitude to God for five minutes daily. If you cannot offer gratitude for five minutes, then utter it for one minute. Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.

Beautiful, Spiritual, Gratitude

Real joy means immediate expansion. If we experience pure joy, immediately our heart expands. We feel that we are flying in the divine freedom-sky. The entire length and breadth of the world becomes ours, not for us to rule over, but as an expansion of our consciousness. We become reality and vastness.

Real, Heart, Mean

Sri Chinmoy (1997). “The Wings of Joy: Finding Your Path to Inner Peace”, p.207, Simon and Schuster

Your mind has a flood of questions. There is but one teacher Who can answer them. Who is that teacher? Your silence-loving heart.

Sri Chinmoy (1978). “Meditation: Man-perfection in God-satisfaction”, p.48, Aum Publications

Spiritual, Teacher, Heart

When your heart's gratitude comes to the fore, when you become all gratitude, this gratitude is like a flow, a flow of consciousness. When your consciousness is flowing, feel that this gratitude-flow is like a river that is watering the root of the tree and the tree itself. It is always through gratitude that your consciousness-river will grow and water the perfection-tree inside you.

Gratitude, Heart, Roots

Mean, Reality, Discovery

Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater. Ignorance hates knowledge because it is too pure. Knowledge fears ignorance because it is too sure.

Hate, Ignorance, Enemy

It is only through inner peace that we can have true outer freedom.

Inner Peace

Sri Chinmoy (2014). “The Oneness of the Eastern Heart and the Western Mind: An Introduction to Eastern Philosophy and Yoga”, p.662, Aum Publications

When you really have something to offer to the world, then you can become truly humble. A tree when it has no fruit to offer, remains erect. But when the tree is laden with fruit, it bends down. If you are all pride and ego, then nobody will be able to get anything worthwhile from you. When you have genuine humility, it is a sign that you have something to offer to mankind.

Humility, Humble, Pride

Sri Chinmoy (1997). “The Wings of Joy: Finding Your Path to Inner Peace”, p.88, Simon and Schuster

Meditation is the only way to overcome fear. There is no other way. Why does meditation help us overcome fear? In meditation we identify ourselves with the vast, with the Absolute. When we are afraid of someone or something, it is because we do not feel that particular person or thing is a part of us. When we have established conscious oneness with the Absolute, with the Infinite Vast, the everything there is part of us. And how can we be afraid of ourselves?

Fear, Oneness, Meditation

Once you have established Your inner contact With your inner Pilot, Your life's transformation-victory Will not remain a far cry.

Sri Chinmoy (1978). “Meditation: Man-perfection in God-satisfaction”, p.201, Aum Publications

Meditation does not mean just sitting quietly for five or ten minutes. It requires conscious effort. The mind has to be made calm and quiet; at the same time, it has to be vigilant so as not to allow any distracting thoughts or desires to enter.

Mean, Effort, Meditation

Sri Chinmoy (1978). “Meditation: Man-perfection in God-satisfaction”, p.5, Aum Publications
