Sound teaches me
How to accept the challenge
Of the ruthless world.

Silence teaches me
How to love the world
And become the world.

Recently a compilation of Sri Chinmoy's aphorisms entitled "Sri Chinmoy's Heart-Garden" was republished it includes a variety of short poems grouped into different themes.

An overriding theme of Sri Chinmoy's philosophy is the importance of harmony.

If you develop harmony with all,
Then yours will be a heart
Totally free from sorrow.
