O grant my heart love!
Grant my heart oneness-love
To accept the whole world
As its own.
I do not want to see any suffering
In the hearts of all the three worlds.
– Sri Chinmoy.
Translation of Bishwa bhuvan karite apan

Beyond thought and beyond the mind,
O beautiful One, You abide.
Do fulfil this body, vital, mind and heart of mine.
May I have this sense of fulfilment
In all my achievements,
Taking shelter at Your Feet divine.

Translation of Chinta atite maner atite sundara
~
Loving this world,
I have entered into this life of darkness-night
Smilingly,
With the hope to transform this sombre world.
This is not my game, this is Your own world-game.
I bow to You again and again.
Smashing asunder my life’s somnolent door, Mother,
Today capture and claim my heart for good.
– Sri Chinmoy
Translation of Dharanire basi bhalo

The life divine shall dawn.
Each human life shall smile.
All the cosmic gods shall descend,
Loving this world of ours.

Translation of Dibya jiban asibe

Inside of me is the beauty of endless forms.
Although in the outer life I am useless
And of no consequence,
O Lord of the Universe,
Do capture me and claim me
As Your own, very own.
– Sri Chinmoy
Translation of Antare mor ananta rup

In atom and in pollen
And in human frames
My life abides.
All beauty am I, immutable am I.
I drink my ambrosia all alone.

I am ready to believe that You love
the Duet of this world.
But tell me, who has created poverty,
suffering, wild mockery
And death pangs, if not You?

This Truth knows no end;
This Truth transcends itself in Infinity’s Light.

Of Transcendence-Height.

Translation of Sima mile jak asimer buke ananda parabare

Infinity has accepted me.
Alas, I cannot house Infinity.
No words have I, no hope have I.
Long lost have I my reminiscence-light.
Yet my old virtuous life
Has made me see the great Silence-Light.
– Sri Chinmoy.
Translation of Simar majhare

All human lives are dear to me.
Nobody is a stranger to me.
The whole world is mine,
My soul-garment and my own peace-vest.

Silence, silence,
You are the Infinity
Of my soul’s dawn.
Silence, silence,
You are the hope-vine
Of my body’s night.
