Everest Aspiration is a collection of talks given by Sri Chinmoy on the Spiritual life.
“Smile, my friends, my soulful friends, smile. Let us smile. True, this world of ours is full of suffering and excruciating pangs, but that is no reason why we should not smile. We must smile in order to unburden the world’s suffering-burden. We must smile in order to diminish its untold pangs.”
- Sri Chinmoy, Extract from Smile, Love And Claim – Everest Aspiration Part 1

Sri Chinmoy meeting Emil Zatopek
Emil Zatopek was a great runner who achieved the unique feat of winning three gold medals at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics (5Km, 10Km and marathon). He had great determination and moral character. Sri Chinmoy admired the feats of Emil Zatopek and wrote a book in his honour.
Emil Zatopek: Earth’s Tearing Cry And Heaven’s Beaming Smile
“In the case of Zatopek, higher reality and higher divinity descended on him precisely because he had confidence in his own capacities and also an implicit faith in the vision and satisfaction of the higher worlds. On the strength of his unparalleled confidence in himself and confidence in God, he not only conquered the runners’ world but also illumined the consciousness of the runners’ world.”
- Sri Chinmoy
