Self Transcendence
Sri Chinmoy taught a philosophy of self-transcendence - the effort and determination to go beyond our limitations and discover our own inner and outer capacities.
What gives life its value,
If not its inner cry
For self-transcendence?
- Sri Chinmoy [1. Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 54, Agni Press, 1984. ]
Through his various prolific activities in fields such as sport, weightlifting, music and writing, Sri Chinmoy is an exampel of how a life of prayer and meditation can increase our inner and outer capacities.
If we believe in our own
Self-transcendence-task
Then there can be
No unreachable goal.
Sri Chinmoy, [2. No Unreachable Goal, Agni Press, 1994. ]
Self-transcendence-joy
Unmistakably knows
No equal.
- Sri Chinmoy, [3. My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, Part 30, Agni Press, 2004.]
