To my mind, this is the most valuable thing on YouTube. I encourage viewers to take a few moments out to watch these clips and meditate with Sri Chinmoy. Thanks for posting these jewels...

Sri Chinmoy was a genuine spiritual master. In his concerts he did not compete with other professional musicians, he only wanted to spread his message of meditation and peace. Some people understood this, some didn´t.

Meditation is exercise. For the soul. Quiet the mind and feel the soul soar. Simple key to life.

Sri Chinmoy, according to Benjamin Creme's Master, was a 4th degree initiate. That makes him 1 degree from being a Master of Wisdom, and on the same level as luminaries such as Krishnamurti, Madam Blavatsky, and Jesus (2000 years later). Truly a great man.

Misery plays a vital part in awakening. It must not be shunned. It is just as valuable as its opposite. Misery has a voice, few listen to her.

The sages of old have said that "you are not the doer, you are the watcher." The meditative state is the state of the watcher.

@Logtouchin I am a cynic, so I'm not very accepting of what just about everyone has to say. As for divisions, no, I do not think they are all created by the mind.

[Logtouchin]

@acr08807 Do you feel that by wholly accepting what somebody else has told you about yourself as truth without self-inquiry is constructive? Isn't it the mind that makes divisions?

[acr08807]

@Logtouchin So you're saying that truth is different for different persons? Is there no such thing as objective truth?

[Logtouchin]

@acr08807 What does it matter? Follow your own truth. Scripture isn't necessary.

[acr08807]

@Logtouchin I was just trying to see whether you knew that Peter brought a sword because Jesus instructed him to do so. I don't quite follow you're point on when you can use scripture. Are you saying scripture can be used to justify things you like (e.g., love), but not things that you don't like (e.g., hate)?

[Logtouchin]

@acr08807 I don't know, sir/ma'am. If you're looking for a debate over literal takes on scriptures then you are asking the wrong person. What's being pointed out is that using scriptures, or anything for that matter, as an excuse for hate is silly. "If you do it to the least of these my brothers you have done it to me". Violence is violence. Hiding behind one's own literal interpretation of scripture does not change that.

@Logtouchin Why was Peter carrying a sword?
