Sri Chinmoy: To Cultivate A Diamond Heart

in

A most beautiful aphorism by Sri Chinmoy.

(Number 7750 from the series Sri Chinmoy Flower Flames)

To Cultivate A Diamond Heart

If you can have a clear awareness
  Of what is happening
In your aspiration-life,
  It is an easy task
To cultivate a diamond heart.

The image diamond-heart is most charming. Sri Chinmoy very sparingly uses it, sometimes in connection to God's own Heart. See for example "Forward, Upward, Inward" (The Goal Is Won, 101)

Forward to the shore!
God will offer you
  His silver Throne.

Upward to the stars!
God will offer you
  His golden Crown.

Inward to the source!
God will offer you
  His diamond Heart.
