Enthusiasm Rules his inner world. Determination Rules his outer world. Therefore Happiness has become His real name.
Interpretation
Happiness stems from inner enthusiasm and outer determination.
This quote by Sri Chinmoy emphasizes the idea that true happiness is achieved through an enthusiastic spirit that governs one's inner thoughts, combined with a determination that drives external actions. When a person cultivates positive energy within and pursues their goals with resolve, they can ultimately find lasting happiness, which becomes their essence or 'real name'.
In practice
A motivational speaker might use this quote to encourage an audience to pursue their passions.
True meditation can never be done with the mind. Very often we make a mistake when we say that we are meditating in the mind and utilising the mind. Real meditation is done in the psychic being and in the soul. It goes hand in hand with flaming aspiration, the burning flame that wants to climb up to the Highest.
Meditation is not an escape. Meditation is the acceptance of life in its totality, with a view to transforming it for the highest manifestation of the divine Truth here on earth

Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itself.
The word 'yoga' means skill - skill to live your life, to manage your mind, to deal with your emotions, to be with people, to be in love and not let that love turn into hatred.
I am very happy Because I have conquered myself And not the world. I am very happy Because I have loved the world And not myself.
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
If you equate happiness with success, you will never achieve the amount of success necessary to make you happy.
You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.
Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain. But after her there came the son of Semele, who matched her present by inventing liquid wine as his gift to man. For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery.
I used to believe that if I could do certain things - write a book or be a successful musician - that I'd be transformed into a happy person, but it doesn't work that way.
Pleasure is the only thing one should live for, nothing ages like happiness.
