“…If we identify ourselves with something divine, eternal and immortal, then naturally the hidden essence and quality of that particular thing will enter into us. By worrying all the time or by thinking undivine thoughts, we will never move towards our goal. We will enter into divinity only by having positive thoughts: “I am of God. I am for God.” If we think this, then there can be no worry, no anxiety…”
- Sri Chinmoy
