Sri Chinmoy enthusiastically composed poetry throughout his life. He felt that creativity was a vital tool to maintain one’s enthusiasm and joy in life. Over his lifetime he composed hundreds of thousands of short aphorisms on all facets of man and woman’s quest for peace and joy.

Each small step forward
Is the new beginning
Of an all-transforming human life.

– Sri Chinmoy
