Our Beloved Supreme, our Lord Absolute, our highest Self: by whatever words, Names, qualities or attributes we imagine, conceive of, or relate to God; whatever we believe, feel, know, or know that we do not know about God; whether we pray to, concentrate, meditate or contemplate on God – there is one need, one constant, one truth, one necessity – to answer our questions, fulfill our need, reveal and lead us to our goal
… our inner cry.
At the same time, if we can imagine that God has any need, and if we can imagine that God’s need is our love, devotion, surrender, service and conscious oneness with God and God’s Will, again there is one need, one constant, one truth, one necessity
… our inner cry.
For my sake, for God’s sake, for the sake of our mutual love and ever-blossoming oneness, my inner cry is everything.
Sri Chinmoy expresses this beautiful, profound, uplifting, liberating, exhilarating truth through numerous poems and songs that place my inner cry at the epicentre of my love for God, God’s love for me, my communion with God and our mutual journey towards our ultimate fulfilment:
“My heart’s inner cries
Are my very best presents
To my Lord Supreme.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“The same sublime Perfection-Truth
Is told and retold:
God treasures my sleepless inner cry —
His Ecstasy-Gold.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“My inner cries
And God’s outer Smiles
Mix together
And fulfil one another.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“If you can feel
That your heart’s inner cry
Is the only thing you have,
Then God will grant you
The thing He treasures most
In His own Life:
Sweetest Oneness-Satisfaction.”
– Sri Chinmoy
“God wants me.
I mean,
My life.
Gods needs me.
I mean,
My heart.
God loves me.
I mean,
My inner cry.”
– Sri Chinmoy
