Sri Chinmoy Ghose Poems

Barren of events,
Rich in pretensions
My earthly life.
...

Within, without the cosmos wide am I;
In joyful sweep I loose forth and draw back all.
A birthless deathless Spirit that moves and is still
Ever abides within to hear my call.
...

The world and God:
How to harmonise?
Difficult? No.
No wide surprise.
...

My Lord tells me
That He will burst with
Joy and Pride
The day I become
...

Every life is a rich
Storehouse
Of experience.
...

A self-invented self-portrait
Can please neither Heaven nor earth.
It can only please
The stupidity-unreality.
...

Definition of the soul:
God-manifestation.
Definition of the heart:
God-recognition.
...

I am ashamed
Of my vital's freedom-fame.
I am proud
Of my soul's freedom-game.
...

Let the sky
Become
Your teacher.
...

To speak ill of the world
Needs courage,
But fortunately or unfortunately
...
