Swami Chinmayananda on Fate / Destiny
If humanity is not to grow sufficiently strong to become a master of the machines that it makes, the present civilization of slavery to iron wheels pounding to the rhythm of lust shall stand, indeed, condemned. But in case we can grow into a self-mastery in ourselves, sufficient to rule over the forces of nature that we have released, certainly we shall preserve our secular endowments and come to live served by them as a Sultan of Destiny.
Swami Chinmayananda on Happiness
The tragedy of human history is decreasing happiness in the midst of increasing comfort.
Swami Chinmayananda on Anger
Anger is nothing but an attachment for an object, when expressed towards an obstacle between ourselves and the object of our attachment.
