November 1st, 2015 will be the 40th anniversary of\u00c2\u00a0 Sri Chinmoy’s poetry series ‘Transcendence-Perfection’<\/p>\n

\"transcendence-perfection\"<\/p>\n

This unique collection of poems were written by Sri Chinmoy during a single 24 hour period in New York. The poems were then collected and published in a single edition, within a\u00c2\u00a0 short space of time.<\/p>\n

A few weeks later on December 20, 2015, Sri Chinmoy spontaneously set 99 of these poems to music – they were later published in the songbook – ‘Transcendence-Perfection’. <\/p>\n

The poems from Transcendence-Perfection express a range of different spiritual experiences and teachings.<\/p>\n

Selections from Transcendence-Perfection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beloved Lord Supreme,
\nDo You approve of
\nMy self-transcendence song?<\/p>\n

“My son, not only do I approve
\nBut it is I who will
\nSing in you,
\nSing through you
\nMy Eternity’s Vision-Reality Song.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Sri Chinmoy,\u00c2\u00a0#1, Transcendence-Perfection<\/em><\/a>, Agni Press, 1977<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

God-Lustre grows, glows
\nAnd reaches the Height
\nOf the ever transcending Beyond.
\nEcstasy flows
\nAnd reaches the farthest corner
\nOf the Reality-globe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– Sri Chinmoy, #644, Transcendence-Perfection<\/em><\/a>, Agni Press, 1977<\/p>\n

O my mind,
\nLet us go into the silence-room.
\nI assure you,
\nYou will be happy,
\nYou will be illumined,
\nYou will be fulfilled.<\/p>\n

O my mind,
\nLet us go into the silence-room.
\nIt is the silence-room that can give you
\nWhat you have always wanted:
\nPeace, peace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– Sri Chinmoy, #341, Transcendence-Perfection<\/em><\/a>, Agni Press, 1977<\/p>\n
