Meditation-Silence

Within each of us, a tranquil inner world lies waiting to be discovered. Here, the silence, stillness and peacefulness of our deeper, spiritual nature can be experienced through meditation and flow out into every part of our life. Meditation reconnects us with the bright and positive qualities of our heart and the greater happiness and delight of our souls.

The very nature of prayer is to reach God by going up. When we meditate, we throw ourselves into a vast expanse, into an infinite sea of peace and bliss, or we welcome the infinite Vast into us.” — Sri Chinmoy View Now! 20 February 2009 Meditation-Silence 15: Living In Joy “To live in joy is to live the inner life. This is the life that leads to self-realisation. Self-realisation is God-realisation, for God is nothing other than the Divinity that is deep inside each one of us, waiting to be discovered and revealed.” — Sri Chinmoy View Now! 16 July 2008 Meditation-Silence 14: Music & Meditation “In the spiritual world, next to meditation is music, the breath of music.

Silence is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.” — Sri Chinmoy View Now! 11 November 2007 Meditation-Silence 13: Spiritual Heart “To reach the spiritual heart you have to feel that you do not have a mind, you do not have arms, you do not have legs, you have only the heart.” —Sri Chinmoy View Now! 9 September 2007 Meditation Silence 12: Inner Hunger “Successful meditation entirely depends on our inner cry. When a child is hungry, really hungry, he cries. He may be on the first floor and his mother may be on the third floor, but when the mother hears his cry she comes down immediately to feed the child. Let us take meditation as an inner hunger.” —Sri Chinmoy View Now! 24 June 2007 Meditation-Silence 11: Silent Meditation “When we start meditating in silence, right from the beginning we feel the bottom of a sea within us and without. The life of activity, movement and restlessness is on the surface, but deep below, underneath our human life, there is poise and silence.” — Sri Chinmoy View Now! 5 April 2007 Meditation-Silence 10: The Beginning “When we start meditating, first we try to reach our own inner existence—our true existence; that is to say, the bottom of the sea.”—Sri Chinmoy View Now! 11 March 2007 Meditation-Silence 9: Control of the Breath “While breathing in as slowly as possible, feel that you are breathing in not just air but cosmic energy.

We go deep within and approach our true existence, which is our soul. When we live in the soul, we feel that we are actually meditating spontaneously." - Sri Chinmoy Subscribe now on iTunes! 1 August 2006 Meditation-Silence 3: Concentration "…When we concentrate we do not allow any thought to enter into our minds, whether it is divine or undivine, earthly or heavenly, good or bad. The mind, the entire mind, has to be focused on a particular object or subject…" - Sri Chinmoy 13 June 2006 Meditation-Silence 2: Feeding the Inner Life "…Only if we feed our inner life, our outer life will acquire its true meaning. We do not fail to feed our body three times a day. In our interior, though, there is a divine child known as our soul; we fail to find the time to feed this child. The soul is the conscious agent of God within us. So long as this ‘child – soul’ is empty, our outer life will remain empty too. It is impossible for any inner cry to be left unheard…" - Sri Chinmoy 20 May 2006 Meditation-Silence 1: What is Meditation? Listen to the silence...
