Short Poems

Sri Chinmoy has written countless short poems which express in small portion part of his spiritual philosophy. Sri Chinmoy has never written a complete overview of his philosophical viewpoint. In some ways his prolific output of prose and poetry give a glimpse into the potential limitless expression of spirituality. Each poem and aphorism adds to the depth of spiritual philosophy. At the same time the poems are purposefully short and concise helping the reader to meditate on the message of the poems.

Some selections from Seventy – Seven Thousand Service Trees volume 39

The Divine Love
Does not speak –
It only acts.

The inner hunger
Is much more intense
Than the outer hunger

I always try to speak
With my heart
When I speak to God

Everyone, without exception
Has to sit
For the God-realisation-examination
Either in the near future
Or in the distant future

Is, indeed,
A constant obstacle course.

No more shall I be interested
In my mind-jungle.
From now on , I shall stay always
Inside my heart-garden.

I feel a new dawn in my heart.

The children of happiness
Will create a new world.

Without speech
Is most powerful

The mind never takes advice
From the heart!

No enthusiasm,
No success or progress-
Either in our outer life
Or in our inner life.
