Self Transcendence

Sri Chinmoy taught a philosophy of self-transcendence – the effort and determination to go beyond our limitations and discover our own inner and outer capacities.

What gives life its value,
If not its inner cry
For self-transcendence?

– Sri Chinmoy 1

Through his various prolific activities in fields such as sport, weightlifting, music and writing, Sri Chinmoy is an exampel of how a life of prayer and meditation can increase our inner and outer capacities.

 

If we believe in our own
Self-transcendence-task
Then there can be
No unreachable goal.

Sri Chinmoy, 2

Self-transcendence-joy
Unmistakably knows
No equal.

– Sri Chinmoy, 3
