This Saturday, October 11, it is one year since a great spiritual master left us, at least on the physical plane. On the subtle plane Sri Chinmoy is more present than ever. Through his many thousand students world-wide he continues to nourish us and all aspiring souls of the world with his infinite peace and poise. Many things changed since his passing and our life is not the same anymore. We changed and all our activities seem to be different. We cannot contact the master outwardly anymore and ask him questions that occupy us. We have to find our own solutions. But we are also riper, grown-up. We manifest his light as good as we can and are loking forward to reach our soul’s goals in this lifetime. We play a divine play and the better we do it, the more rewarded we will be in our next incarnations. So with these thoughts I will approach October 11, which by the way is also my birthday at the same time. So joy and sorrow are tied together and hopefully divine happiness will result as the final goal. This picture is part of a series of Sri Chinmoy in his early years in the West when he started to establish his spiritual centres in the U.S. The photos are currently being published regularly on the photoblog “srichinmoyphotos“. Photographer is Sundari, a long-time and one of the first students of Sri Chinmoy. There is also a slideshow online on srichinmoy.tv. You are welcome to watch or download it.
may god give us the stregth to manifest an iota of the grace that flowed from this benovolent ocean of compassion and beauty.
may god give us the peace that will allow us to become proper receptacles for the grace of this god-man.
may god bless us with his beauty.
with his warmth.
with his tireless service.
even for a single fleeting moment.
may we for once allow his spirtual gaze
ro grow in us, to refine our thoughts, feelings
to the gold of true knowledge
which is his love for us.
thank you for your nice words – in 2 days it is the 2nd Anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s Mahasamadhi and my 60th birthday…
