The Journey of Self-Discovery
Your own sincere search
For yourself
Will become a synonym
For perfection-happiness.
- Sri Chinmoy
Each of us begins meditation with a goal of our own—a desire to know ourselves better, a longing to become more peaceful, or perhaps a yearning for more control of our life. No matter what the goal, and no matter where you are right now, it’s important to keep in mind that meditation is a continual journey. As a flower opens to the sun, even so through meditation will you watch your own infinite potential blossom, your life flower into greater happiness, and your being radiate abiding peace and satisfaction. This is the journey of self-discovery.
Many other seekers have passed this way before us, some journeying to the farthest frontiers of self-awareness. These inner travellers are the spiritual masters, the mystics and pathfinders who appear in every age to guide and inspire humanity. Like expert climbers who have reached the highest peaks, they come back down to guide us quickly and safely to our own highest heights.
Sri Chinmoy is such a guide, a spiritual master who has explored the furthest realms of consciousness. Through literature, art, music, and the profound silence of meditation, he shares his experiences of higher worlds of beauty and delight—worlds that exist within each of us. Sri Chinmoy’s inner experience, and his teachings about that experience, form the basis of HomeStudy.
