Accountant

An accountant knows how to check the accounts, and God knows how to smile and weep.

Actor

God is the Divine Actor Supreme never to be seen.
Man is the actor self-imposed and well-exposed.

Advisor

God the Advisor is the only Advisor who does not advise His children outwardly and unceasingly.

Agnostic

I prayed to God to spell the word 'agnostic.' God first hesitated. He then confessed His ignorance. Poor God, He had never even heard the word before.

Angel

An angel is purity's blooming soul and beauty's enchanting role.

Anthropologist

An anthropologist is undoubtedly an advanced student-seeker who studies human beings; and he will be an infinitely more advanced student-seeker if or when he studies divine souls. But the question is: will he? Will he ever?

Archaeologist

An archaeologist digs the past. To his wide surprise, he sees that his present civilisation is dying out rapidly, whereas the long-buried civilisation of the past is coming to the fore with a broad smile.

Architect

Man the architect builds our fleeting house.
Soul the architect shapes our lasting life.
God the Architect moulds our supremely fulfilling Goal.

Artist

Look at the human art. You are frustrated.

Look at the human artist. You are disappointed.

Look at the Divine Art. Your own soul is manifested.

Look at the Divine Artist. Your very breath is fulfilled.

Astrologer

An astrologer tells me what is going to happen in my life.

My will-power tells me what I can do, what I shall be and who I eternally am.

Astronaut

An astronaut is he who does not care for the permission of any religion to soar above. Nor does he take permission from God to see correctly the shape of the world from above.

Atheist

I prayed to God to define the word 'atheist.' He immediately mustered all His inner Will and outer displeasure and gave me a damaging slap!

Author

I am an author. I shall continue to follow this self-styled profession of mine unless and until my books keep my proud mouth shut and throw my proud pen into the wastepaper basket.

Banker

My father was a banker. He had a wee bank. I do not know how much money he actually had. And now I am my disciples' banker. When I count the money, I feel that I am not valued; when I don't count the money, I feel that I am negligent in my duty.
God says to me that He won't blame me if I miscalculate the figures but He will mercilessly blame me if I miscalculate the number of my disciples' real needs.

Barber

At last I have discovered a mistake committed by God. Since I am always a big talker, He should have made me a barber.

Beggar

As a beggar when I approach God, He immediately gives me His cherished Treasure: Light.

As a beggar when I approach humanity, I am immediately and ruthlessly denied its cherished possession: Ignorance.

Betrayer

A betrayer is the worst possible fool, for he consciously and deliberately betrays his own ignorance to an unappreciative world.

There is only one thing on earth that God can learn from man and that is betrayal.

Biographer

Each man is God's biographer. Hence, each man must needs shake hands with impossibility.

Boss

Each man has to make a definite choice between his human boss: doubt, and his divine boss: faith.

Boxer

Soul the boxer fights for humanity's aspiration.

God the Boxer fights for humanity's salvation.

Faith the boxer fights for humanity's perfection and glorification.

Man the boxer fights for humanity's appreciation and admiration.

Doubt the boxer fights for humanity's total destruction.

Businessman

A human businessman is he who sells his conscience to God free of charge.

A divine businessman is he who makes profit by serving the divine in humanity.

Camper

Each man consciously or unconsciously is a camper, for he takes vacation from his divine home, God.

Carpenter

Jesus' father was a carpenter.

Christ's Father was God.

Whose children are we?

We are the children of God and Goddess.

Our Father is God, the Constant Concern.

Our Mother is Goddess, the Endless Compassion.

Chemist

Love is a form of chemistry. The chemist in the mother loves her children even without properly knowing the formula of love chemistry.

Clergy

All men work with their serving hands, but a clergyman is blessed to work with his flowing tongue. Therefore the spiritual teacher in me finds no difficulty in shaking hands with a clergyman.

Columnist

A columnist knows how to fracture fact. He knows how to capture public attention. But he does not know and he will never know one thing: how to cure falsehood, especially his own.

Competitor

Before, as a competitor, I used to compete with God's Forgiveness.

Now, as a competitor, I am competing with God's Compassion.

Conductor

A conductor is a peculiar and unusual man. On the one hand, he has no nervousness of his own, for he has perfect faith in his orchestra. On the other hand, he may be at the mercy of an unappreciative audience, ready at any time to bury him under the soil of roaring laughter.

Cook

No false hyperbole, I am a voracious eater. But of all the cooks that serve me I like God the Cook most. Such being the case, I must give my earthly cooks at least some vacation with pay. Needless to say, my payment is gratitude, constant gratitude and endless gratitude.
Now what does God the Cook cook for me? He cooks for me Transformation Soup, Perfection Curry, Immortality Rice.

Critic

The critic in each man knows that there is nothing as easy as to criticise God right and left, in season and out of season.

Dentist

True, I don't have any courage but my teeth have abundant courage. My dentist is the witness.

Dictator

When the body is the dictator, man becomes a corpse.
When the vital is the dictator, man becomes suppression.
When the mind is the dictator, man becomes insecurity.
When the heart is the dictator, man becomes possibility.
When the soul is the dictator, man becomes certainty.
When God is the Dictator, man becomes Reality.

Diplomat

A diplomat is he who gives with his eyes firmly shut and receives with his arms wide open.

Disciple

— Oscar Wilde

I pray to God to save my disciples from my heartless autocracy.

Disciplinarian

To be a good disciplinarian what one needs is a disobedient son and a wise father.

Discoverer

God the Discoverer has discovered man's utter frustration.

Man the discoverer has discovered God's unconditional Compassion.

Dishwasher

At our New York Centre there are many dishwashers — boys and girls who wash the dishes most thoroughly and devotedly. They are really successful in washing the dishes.

In the near future, I am pretty sure that they will start washing their vital life, too, most thoroughly. Then, how will I dare to say that the transformation of their nature can remain a far cry?

Distributor

There is a slight difference between a communist distributor and God the Distributor.

A communist distributor distributes equally the possessions of others, but his own possessions he keeps in perfect safety.

But God the Distributor distributes constantly and unreservedly what He has and what He is.

Doctor

I love a doctor because he, at least, is fighting for the same cause as I am: Immortality's breath in humanity's heart.

Driver

Courage the driver drives us forward.

Fear the driver drives us backward.

Hesitation the driver can never drive us to our destination.

Doubt the driver not only breaks the car, but kills all the passengers when the journey is only three minutes old.

Despair the driver does not know how to drive the car.

Haste the driver does not even know how to start the car.

Druggist

Alas, among many other things, one thing I truly need is to have real faith in the miracle-druggist and the wonder-drugs!

Drummer

A drummer's drum has two heads: round and proud.

But God's Drum has four pure and sure heads: aspiration, realisation, manifestation and perfection.

Ear specialist

O ear specialist, can you, will you do me a great favour? Only an hour a day I wish to keep my ears open.

Economist

God's infinite Love, boundless Compassion and eternal Concern allow Him to be anything else, but not an Economist.

Editor

I still don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing to be an editor, especially when it is a matter of being one of the editors of Chinmoy Family.

Educator

I have an educator friend. He is a great equaliser. He tells me that day is the time for me to study knowledge and wisdom, and night is the time for me to study darkness and ignorance.

Employee

Who is not an employee? Even God is employed by two Bosses: Love and Compassion. To our wide surprise, unlike us, He serves His two Masters at the same time; and that is why God is God and we are feeble ants.

Escapist

An escapist may escape from humanity's judgement, but never from reality's court, where the judge is conscience the truth-lover.

Evolutionist

God means Evolutionist.
God means Perfectionist.
That's all.

Examiner

When God the Examiner examines, man the student offers to God all his ignorance.
When man the examiner examines, God the Student offers to man all His Concern.

Eye specialist

Man the eye specialist offers us proper vision.
God the Eye Specialist offers us equal vision.
Such being the case, I don't understand why people say that man is infinitely inferior to God.

Farmer

The mind-farmer is evasive.

The heart-farmer is extensive.

The soul-farmer is intensive.

And our God-Farmer is pervasive.

Fisherman

A fisherman's necessity compels him to wait for a fish. His curiosity compels him to take the weight of the fish.

With our patience let us wait for God. We shall be rewarded.

With our gratitude let us try to weigh God's Love. We shall be awarded.

Flatterer

God's cosmic Drama does not exclude anybody. It badly needs a flatterer, too.

Forgiver

The other name of forgiver is God-lover.

Fortune-hunter

Desire is a fortune-hunter.

Hope is a fortune-teller.

Faith is a fortune-bringer.

The heart is the freedom-enjoyer.

The mind is the freedom-polluter.

The vital is the freedom-destroyer.

The body is the freedom-crier.

Gambler

A gambler lives on tempting hopes.

A seeker lives on fulfilling hopes.

A spiritual Master lives on immortalised hopes.

Gardener

A garden is a thing of beauty. And a gardener is a man of responsibility's duty.

General

The army salutes its general.

The general salutes his life-protecting or life-destroying ambition.

The human general conquers and rules man's surrender.

The divine General conquers and illumines man's ignorance.

Gentleman

A gentleman is humanity's proud achievement and God's treasured possession.

Geographer

My geographer friend in me has all length and breadth.

My historian friend in me has all past, present and future.

My seeker friend in me has all height and depth.

What more do I need? Nothing.

Geologist

I have a geologist friend. He does not care to know how old his children are, how old his wife is. He is not even interested in knowing how old he himself is. But he is all interested in knowing how old poor Mother Earth is.

Ghost

A ghost is the master of insecurity's surrender and the slave of purity's power.

Gossip-monger

It is better to be a gossip-monger than to be nothing, for a day will dawn when the gossipmonger will be dogged by his own repentance. Repentance is undoubtedly one of the roads that lead to the inner life, the life of sincerity, aspiration and perfection.

Grammarian

True, a grammarian is competent to correct the bad grammar of the President.

But the President has the power to proscribe the grammarian's grammar book forever. So, O grammarian, be careful!

Guide

The human guide guides our sincerity.

The divine guide hides our insecurity, impurity, insincerity, brutality and futility.

Helper

A helper's helping hands mean a seeker's awakened soul.

Hen-pecked husband

Please don't laugh at a hen-pecked husband. Don't you know that God's consolation is always weeping for him, for his untold miseries?

Hermit

A hermit lives in his cottage and thinks of God. And God lives in His Palace and thinks of the hermit.

The hermit confines himself to see God. God extends and expands Himself to see the hermit.

Who is the wiser of the two?

My aspiration of the hoary past tells me that the hermit is the wiser. My present aspiration and realisation tell me that God is infinitely wiser.

Hero

He is the only hero who cries for his inner perfection and God's manifestation.

Homeopath

O medical science, O Homeopathy, O life-serving science, O life-saving science, I do not know you. But I do know well my most esteemed Homeopath friend, Bhumanandaji. His eagerness to serve God in mankind through you, Homeopathy, has always been a source of divine inspiration to me. Since your fond son, Bhumananda, is really good and kind to mankind, you must be most kind and most fulfilling. So, in you I see Reality's Smile and Divinity's Pride.

Host

True concern is the only host that does not demand but rightly deserves appreciation, admiration and adoration.

Housekeeper

As the body of the house needs a housekeeper, even so the soul of the house needs a purifier.

Humorist

A humorist does not torture us. What he does is capture the breath of our running appreciation-train.

Idealist

An idealist meditates on the Transcendental Truth.

A realist meditates on the Universal Truth.

Idler

God's unconditional Compassion for the idler will not forgive our foul criticism of the idler's idle life.

Informant

Only him shall I consider as an informant who can tell me that each human being has true love for God.

Intellectual

Intellectual people have always been latecomers in arriving at God's Palace.

Interviewer

Man the interviewer interviews God. Soon he notices that God does not have enough impatience. Such being the case, he does not and cannot employ God to work for him. Poor God has to look for a job elsewhere.

Inventor

God is wonderstruck when He sees the capacity of man the inventor, who has invented an endless mass of ignorance so quickly, plus so bravely.

Investigator

The inner cry is the investigator.

The inner will is the path-finder.

The inner joy is the goal-achiever.

The inner love is the goal-possessor.

Jaywalker

A jaywalker has two rooms to sleep in. One room is called God's Protection. The other room is called man's compassion.

Jeweller

O jeweller, do you want God to be one of your customers? Then show Him the love-diamond of your heart, and the perfection-diamond of your life. God will buy them from you immediately, with His deepest Gratitude and highest Pride.

Joker

Had I not been a joker of the first water, then by this time I would have been compelled to go and live in a mental hospital for the rest of my life. Luckily, every day God empties my mind, which is filled with my disciples' tension-worlds. Every day I joke with my incapacity, and God jokes with my poor fate.

Judge

When man judges God, God shows to man what He is: Compassion.
When God judges man, man shows to God what he is: helplessness.

Juggler

An occultist juggler and a real spiritual Master are total strangers to each other.

Killer

A man-killer rightly deserves to have another name. Let us offer his name to him right away: Beast Number One.

King

In the morning, man is known as indulgence-king.
In the evening, man is known as repentance-slave.

Kite-flyer

Knight

The valour in the knight protects the king.

The Pride in God treasures the knight.

The lover of the Creator is the only knower of the creation.

Landlord

A human landlord demands rent from tenants.

A divine landlord expects only satisfaction from his tenants.

We say that a lawyer is a very bad man because he is constantly in the habit of telling lies. But do we ever dare to ask ourselves one thing: for whom does a lawyer tell millions of lies?

Leader

A leader of humanity is a ladder of divinity.

Learner

The teacher in me learns only from mankind.
The learner in me learns only from God.

Lecturer

I am a lecturer. God understands my lectures. Therefore, I am so happy. My audience tolerates my lectures. Therefore, I am so lucky.

Liar

A liar is he who writes secret letters to God for His Forgiveness.

Librarian

The librarian of the Sri Chinmoy Centre in New York is happy because she is with our expanding Mission.

We are happy because she is in, with and for our fulfilling Vision.

Lifeguard

Who is as great as a lifeguard? Nobody. A lifeguard is ready to drown himself on our behalf. But when a lifeguard drowns, God comes running to crown him. God really does.

Linguist

O linguist, I am so proud of you because you are conversant with many languages.

Do you want God also to be proud of you? If so, then try to learn only one more language, and that language is called the language of the soul. This language has a more attractive name: Heart's Aspiration.

Listener

There is hardly any difference between a good listener and an excellent learner.

Logician

O logician, you may forget your own name if you want to. But you can never afford to forget your enemy's name. In case you have forgotten your enemy's name, let me take the liberty of reminding you: World-Ignorance.

Lover

The human lover thinks too much and sinks too quickly.

The divine lover dives within and flies beyond the skies.

Magician

The human magician puzzles our curious and dubious mind.

The divine magician enlightens our loving and aspiring heart.

Mailman

O mailman, if the world claims to have even an iota of gratitude, then it is you alone who deserve it.

Manager

The body may think it is necessary to thank the manager of the supermarket.

The soul feels it is its obligation to offer its unending gratitude to the Manager of the Universal Market.

Martyr

God's Crown is for the Truth-living martyr.

Death's frown is for the falsehood-loving martyr.

Materialist

The vital smile of the materialist sees what money can buy.

The psychic cry of the materialist knows what money cannot buy.

Mathematician

If a mathematician can count correctly his life's daily activities, then his soul will definitely be indulgent to all his life's cherished inactivities.

Messenger

When we love Truth the Messenger, we dive very deep and fly very high.

When we love falsehood the messenger, we owe our life a great deal.

Millionaire

To me, he is a millionaire whose mind is empty of doubt, and he is a multi-millionaire whose heart is all faith.

Mind-reader

The desiring man wants to be a mind-reader.

The aspiring man wishes to be a heart-lover.

Moralist

A man of morality wants to live a happy life.

A man of spirituality wants to live the life of experience-light.

Movie-star

Who says that the movie-stars have no soul? They do have a soul. Unfortunately, they have far to travel to reach the ultimate Goal.

Musician

If you say that a musician is not God, I may agree with you. But if you say music is not God, then I totally disagree with you.

Mystic

Silence spoken here — in the heart of a mystic's realisation.

Nationalist

My father was a nationalist. I have gone a step ahead. I am an internationalist. I wish my spiritual children to surpass me. I want them to be God-ists.

Neurotic

A neurotic is he who is relentlessly attached to his unfulfilled desires and unmanifested experiences.

New Yorker

Some of my New Yorker friends do not actually know when the night begins. That is why they do not feel the necessity to go home and sleep at the proper hour. But they do know when the day starts and they do go to work on time every day. They are simply great!

Novelist

The other day a novelist friend of mine said to me that he will not be able to write any more novels, for the standard of human character has gone unbearably low.

Such being the case, I asked him to write about the character of the cosmic gods.

He immediately said, "First of all, their character is in no way better than the human character. They also had lots of affairs. Secondly, if I write on them, then I have to depend more on imagination than on actual fact. Sorry, I shall not write on the cosmic gods either."

I told him that if he was not going to write on human beings or cosmic gods, then I would write on his character.

On hearing this, he gave me a blow right on my nose and said, "Stop, for God's sake, stop. Tomorrow I shall start writing on human fools and divine rogues."

O human fools, O divine rogues, please, please forgive my wise novelist friend.

Nurse

There is only one patient: man's mind.

There is only one nurse: God's Heart.

There is only one doctor: God's Eye.

Occultist

A God-realised occultist is God's representative on earth.

A wonder-offering and fear-injecting occultist is God's colossal failure.

Opportunist

Opportunity and opportunist are two blood-brothers. They come and stand in front of the door of their superior. The former knocks at the door; the latter secretly, cleverly and successfully unlocks the door, only to find the things he already has: fear, anxiety, depression and frustration. What is worse is that here the quantity is beyond measure.

Optimist

The heart is an optimist.

The mind is a pessimist.

The soul is a realist.

God is a Perfectionist.

Orphan

A the age of twelve I became an orphan. Now at the age of forty I have become a spiritual Father of four hundred sweet spiritual orphans. What a divine compensation! What an incredible bargain!

Painter

A painter is his heart's realisation, his mind's revelation and his hands' manifestation.

Partner

When your partner is Doubt, both you and your partner, Doubt, are bound to be congratulated by your earnest admirer: the insect.

When your partner is Faith, both you and your partner, Faith, are bound to be congratulated, admired and adored by your two most sincere admirers: the elephant and the lion.

Patriot

My mind the patriot loves India, the country.

My heart the patriot loves India, the Mother.

My soul the patriot loves India, the God-Lover.

Perfectionist

A perfectionist is the only friend of God's Eternity.

Philanthropist

A sincere philanthropist unmistakably feels God's Love and God's Joy in his heart.

An insincere philanthropist knows the tremendous capacity of income tax.

Philosopher

My great philosopher brother, Hriday Ranjan Ghose, has studied Indian philosophy thoroughly on my behalf. That is why fear does not torture my heart at all when I speak on Indian philosophy at the American universities.

Photographer

The impossible photographer in me has not spent more than $300 on photography. But my loving and promising photographer-disciples have brought me thousands of dollars by selling the pictures taken of me. O photographer-disciples of mine, the Photographer-God in me most devotedly and most proudly bows to the Photographer in you.

Pilgrim

A spiritual pilgrim is he whose mind has lived in the struggling past and whose heart wants to live in the illumining future.

Pilot

The inner Pilot is happy with His Service-Light.

The outer pilot is proud of his confidence-might.

Pioneer

Each desiring thought-power is a pioneer-night in the outer world.

Each aspiring willpower is a pioneer-light in the inner world.

Poet

As a poet I am not yet successful. But as a lover of poetry I have always been successful, and I shall always remain successful.

My life is the hyphen between searching poetry and revealing spirituality.

Policeman

I have a devoted and sincere policeman disciple at my Jamaica, West Indies, Centre. When he came and sat in front of me during our first interview, I said to him, "So, Joseph, when I steal something, you will be the first person to arrest me."

He immediately said, "Yes, sir. But I have come here to beg of you to steal my heart first. To you I offer my entire life. I wish to be yours, devotedly yours."

President

In the inner world the president is unconditional surrender to God's Will.

In the outer world the president is ceaseless frustration.

Prime Minister

In the inner world the prime minister is indomitable courage.

In the outer world the prime minister is goalless depression.

Professor

My Muslim professor friend, Abul, once said to me in an Indian restaurant, "I highly appreciate your pen, but I truly admire your abstinence. You don't drink tea at all, whereas I take tea, the slow poison, eight times a day."

I told him not to worry. I said to him, "True, tea is slow poison, but its antidote, quick aspiration, you have in abundant measure. It will save you."

My lofty prophesy has come true. My professor friend and tea are no longer friends.

Psychiatrist

I had an eminent psychiatrist disciple at my Connecticut Centre. He got very high spiritual experiences from me. He was all gratitude to me. Alas, all of a sudden he left the Centre. Why? Because in two long months he could not equal me in spirituality. And also, he could not accept the fact that my disciples devotedly and gladly touched my feet, whereas his patients did not even admire him as a person. They just appreciated his mental wisdom. He thought that, since both he and I were teachers in our respective fields, how could it be possible for him to be satisfied with lesser acknowledgement?

These reasons are not from my fertile imagination. I just summarised two of his letters written to me. I fully agree with him. I pray to all his present patients, ex-patients and future patients to go and touch his feet. If they do so, then I will have my psychiatrist friend back.

In the Western world, especially in America, to have a psychiatrist friend is a great mental relief. A psychiatrist is a head-repairer.

I am a heart-repairer.

God is the only soul-repairer. God is the only life-builder. God is the only love-fulfiller.

Publisher

My publishers show me their kindness by publishing my books.

God shows them His Kindness by accepting their service.

The Queen of God's Eye is beauty's height.

The Queen of God's Heart is duty's delight.

Questioner

God, the questioner in me asks You a very simple question: Please tell me if there is any human being who can regard another human being as always good and great.

"My son, for that I don't have to go very far. Ask your elder brother, Chitta, about you."

Realist

A realist uses his mind to see the consciousness of earth.

An optimist uses his heart to feel the delight of Heaven.

A pessimist expects the worst. He gets the worst. He also deserves the worst.

A reformer improves the life of man's world and proves the breath of God's compassionate Concern.

Reporter

The soul-seller and the ignorance-buyer constantly love each other because of their mutual need.

Speech-writer

Unfortunately, God has denied me the joy of having a speech-writer.

Story-teller

My father was an excellent story-teller. Alas, his youngest son is not successful even in imitating him.

The mind-student has always to learn.

The heart-student has to unlearn the cruelties and the injustices of unaspiring human beings.

Sufferer

During my long athletic career my sufferer-brother, Mantu, suffered much from deep worries and high enthusiasms. And God's kind Heart granted my brother the satisfaction-smile.

Swimmer

Devoted love is the swimmer in me.

Surrendered service is the diver in me.

Talker

I am more than willing to appreciate the talker in me.

Telephone operator

O Lord, please forgive the telephone operators. They badly need Your Forgiveness.

Thief

In the outer world, when a thief steals something he is arrested.

Torturer

Visitor

When God the Visitor visits us, we are fast asleep.

When man the visitor visits us, we are over-awake.

Voter

Each human being has to be a voter and he is given the opportunity to vote twice. The first time, he unconsciously votes for ignorance, and the second time, he consciously votes for God.

Walker

I was a slow walker, a fast runner and a non-talker. But now I am an incessant talker, a slow runner and a fast walker.

Winner

The doubt-killer and the soul-winner are the same person.

Woman-Hater

I know that God never created and will never create a woman-hater, for who else is God, if not a woman's heart?

O Philosopher-Emperor's wife, you knew anger, and we know amusement.
