Sri Chinmoy: Citations en anglais
Source: Songs of the Soul (1971)
Contexte: War forgets peace. Peace forgives war. War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine. Our vital passions want war. Our psychic emotions desire peace.
“No religion is absolutely perfect.”
Mother India's Lighthouse: India's Spiritual Leaders (1971)
Contexte: No religion is absolutely perfect. Yet not only do we fight for religion, but also are we often willing to sacrifice our lives for it. And what we hopelessly fail to do is to live it. A true religion is that which has no caste, no creed, no colour. It is but an all-uniting and all-pervading embrace.
“Peace has a special friend: Joy. Anger has only one friend: Destruction.”
April 27
Meditations: Food For The Soul (1970)
Contexte: Anger has an enemy: Peace. Peace has no enemy. Peace has a special friend: Joy. Anger has only one friend: Destruction.

Ten Thousand Flower Flames Part 1-100 (1979)
Songs of the Soul (1971)
Contexte: Now what should be the relation between science and spirituality? It should be a relation of mutual acceptance and true understanding. It is an act of folly on our part to expect the same truth, the same knowledge and the same power from both science and spirituality. We must not do that. Neither must we set up the same goal for science and spirituality.
Source: Service-Boat And Love-Boatman (1974), p. 2, Part 1
Contexte: Nothing can be greater than love. God is great only because He has infinite Love. If we want to define God, we can define Him in millions of ways, but I wish to say that no definition of God can be as adequate as the definition of God as all Love. When we say "God", if fear comes into our mind, then we are millions and billions of miles away from Him. When we repeat the name of God, if love comes to the fore, then our prayer, our concentration, our meditation, our contemplation are genuine.
The Wings of Joy (1997)
Contexte: The very acceptance of the spiritual life demands enormous courage. This courage is not the courage of a haughty, rough person who will strike others to assert his superiority; it is totally different. This courage is our constant awareness of what we are entering into, of what we are going to become, of what we are going to reveal.
World-Destruction: Never, Impossible! (1994)
Contexte: In my philosophy everyone, including the poor, sick and aged, belongs to one family — God’s Family. God is at once poor and rich, sick and healthy, young and old, for He exists inside each and every individual. Here on earth we are all God’s children.

Fifty Freedom-Boats To One Golden Shore (1974)
Contexte: Where love is thick, faults are thin. If you really love someone, then it is difficult to find fault with him. His faults seem negligible, for love means oneness.
“Science depends on outer experiment. Spirituality depends on inner searching and seeking.”
Songs of the Soul (1971)
Contexte: Science depends on outer experiment. Spirituality depends on inner searching and seeking. A scientist discovers the power that very often threatens even his own life. A spiritual seeker discovers the power that guides and moulds his life into a life of divine fulfilment.

Meditations: Food For The Soul (1970)
Contexte: When we try to express the experience of the Infinite Consciousness, our human tongue loses all its power of expression. What shall we do then? We shall have to remain silent. Lo! In no time we shall realise that Silence is infinitely more eloquent and more fruitful than words.

“Because everybody feels superior, disharmony at every moment is entering into our lives.”
#337, Part 8
Sri Chinmoy Answers, part 1-33 (1996)
Contexte: Lack of harmony comes when I feel that I know how to do something better than you. Lack of harmony is the song and dance of superiority. Because everybody feels superior, disharmony at every moment is entering into our lives.
