“There is only one way
In God’s entire creation
To be happy,
And that way
Is to make God happy.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“I ask God
How I can make Him happy.
God tells me
There is only one way
To make Him happy,
And that is through
The happiness of my entire being.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“Of all the gifts
You have offered to God,
Your happiness-gift
He treasures most.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“The place to be happy
God has chosen for me
With His infinite Compassion.
The time to be happy
I have to choose for myself.
God has chosen the place:
Here!
I must choose the time:
Now!”
– Sri Chinmoy
“You want happiness. He wants happiness. I want happiness. Everybody wants happiness in life, from life. Each creation of God wants happiness. God wants happiness for Himself in and through His creation.
“We want happiness and we need happiness. In this life of ours there are many things we want but actually do not need. But when it is a matter of happiness, we not only want it but we also need it. There is no happiness in mere seeing. There is no happiness in mere feeling. There is no happiness in mere achieving. Happiness can be found only in our conscious surrender to God’s Will.
“You are in the spiritual life because you want happiness. If the spiritual life did not bring happiness, who would be such a fool as to practise spirituality? When you become in tune with God’s living Breath, when you enter into God’s Breath and become part and parcel of it, happiness becomes your inner and outer name and you get infinite ecstasy and infinite delight.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“Take God prayerfully
And soulfully —
You will be happy, infinitely happy.”
– Sri Chinmoy
