If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders
That I have made
Over the years,
Then how can I proceed?
How can I ever
Dream perfection-dreams?
Move, I must, forward.
Fly, I must, upward.
Dive, I must, inward,
To be once more
What I truly am
And shall forever remain.​

- Sri Chinmoy

If anyone speaks ill of you,
Praise him always.

If anyone injures you,
Serve him nicely.

Help him in all possible ways.

You will enjoy peace, poise and serenity.

You will become divine

If you experience God as Light, then you will say God is Light.
If you experience God as Love, then you will say God is Love.​

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 144. மெய்யாகத் தோன்றும்!

தூங்குவதற்கு முன்பு வயிறு நிறைய நன்றாகச் சாப்பிட்டிருப்பீர்கள்.
ஆனால் கனவில் பசியை உணருகிறீர்கள்.

கனவு இருக்கும் வரை பசியும் உண்மை.
விழித்தவுடன் அது பொய்யாக இருப்பதைக் காணலாம்.

கனவில் வரும் பசிக்குக் கனவில் தான் உணவு தரவேண்டும்.
நனவையும், கனவையும் கலக்கக் கூடாது.

அதுபோல ஆத்மா சாக்ஷாத்காரம் ஏற்பட்டு, வெறும் தோற்றமான
உலகில் இருந்து விடுபடும் வரை, நனவும் மெய்யாகத்தான் தோன்றும்.

" Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory. "​

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.​

- Lord Buddha
​

 

[talwan]

I am very happy
Because I have conquered myself
And not the world.
I am very happy
Because I have loved the world
And not myself.​

[h=3]True Happiness[/h]

​

True happiness
Is not a mental hallucination.
True happiness
Is not a complacent feeling.
True happiness
Is the spontaneous feeling of joy
That comes from knowing
You are doing the right thing
And leading a divine life.
Sri Chinmoy
​

 

[talwan]

My happiness abides in my soul's promise to God.
My happiness dwells in my heart's hope for a higher life.
My happiness resides in my life's willingness to fulfil God at every moment.​

I am happy when early in the morning I place my ignorance-head at God's Forgiveness-Feet. I am happy when early in the morning my inspiration-eye catches a glimpse of God's Compassion-Eye. I am happy when early in the morning my aspiration-heart is blessed by my Lord's Satisfaction-Heart.​

To be happy I must not allow insincerity to stand at my mind's door.
To be happy I must not allow insecurity to stand at my heart's door.
To be happy I must not allow impurity to stand at my life's door.​

Excerpt from My Heart's Peace-Offering by Sri Chinmoy.

" Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."​

- Dalai Lama

 

[talwan]

" The purpose of our lives is to be happy."​

- Dalai Lama

 

[talwan]

" Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human “brain” with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human “heart” with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is."​

- Dalai Lama

 

[talwan]

" Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."​

- Dalai Lama

 

[talwan]

" Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."​

- Dalai Lama

 

[talwan]

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.​

- Dalai Lama
