About Us Mission Statement
Chinmaya Mission
Trinidad & Tobago
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.
In all adversities there is always in its depth, a treasure of spiritual blessings secretly hidden.
`Moksha' is not `Freedom from Action' but, `Freedom in Action'.
To give love is true freedom; To demand love is pure slavery.
The success is not in the trophy won but in the race run
The secret of action is to get established in equanimity, renouncing all egocentric attachments, and forgetting to worry over our successes and failures.
Character is formed from the repeated choice of thoughts and action. Make the right choice - You shall have a firm and noble character.
There is no destiny beyond and above ourselves; we are ourselves the architects of our future.
Without devotion, knowledge is tasteless. Without knowledge, devotion is mere empty idol worship.
Bhakti is the attitude of the mind, and jnana is the attitude of the intellect, both flow towards the Lord.
Silently hear everyone. Accept what is good. Reject and forget what is not. This is intelligent living.
Prosperity is like wine, which goes to the head, and makes man forget his Creator.
Spirituality is neither the privilege of the poor nor the luxury of the rich. It is the choice of the wise man.
- Swami Chinmayananda
