PHNOM PENH — The President of Cambodia’s International University, Professor Uon Sabo, presented Sri Chinmoy with an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities in Peace Studies at a ceremony on Sept. 7.
This was the first time the University had conferred the degree upon a foreigner.
One of the speakers, Cambodia’s Secretary of State of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, Pit Chamnan, told the gathering of professors, government officials and students that Dr. Chinmoy’s “humanitarian activities and work for peace really impress the people and the government of Cambodia.”
The spiritual leader, he continued, “has touched the lives of millions of people and has brought them a message of hope and love.”
Sri Chinmoy called the award “not an honor but a supreme blessing.” As part of the awards ceremony, he performed on the esraj and gave a talk.

Sri Chinmoy asks each of his visiting disciples who have not yet returned home after his birthday celebration, to give him one spiritual word which he would then enlarge upon.
Sri Chinmoy: Sleeplessness for the Supreme is the beginning of conscious oneness with the Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy: God has created infinite things on earth, but a human heart of devotion will always remain sweeter than the sweetest in His Heart of Satisfaction-Delight.
Sri Chinmoy: The purity of the body tells us where God is. The purity of the heart tells us how God is. The purity of the soul tells us who God is.
Sri Chinmoy: A heart of continuous gratitude is the most difficult thing for a human being to offer to the Beloved Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy: When you surrender your human will to God's Will, you immediately come to learn that God will not only do everything for you, but in reality He has already done everything for you.
Sri Chinmoy: There is only one strength in the inner world, and that eternal strength is constant love of God in God's own way.
Sri Chinmoy: Sincerity is the fulfilling sweetness in the world that becomes. Sincerity is fulfilment in the world that eternally is.
Sri Chinmoy: When you offer your heart's purity to the divinity in humanity, God immediately blesses you with His infinite tears of Light and Delight.
Sri Chinmoy: Love the truth. This is human illumination. Become the truth. This is divine illumination. You are the truth. This is supreme Illumination.
Sri Chinmoy: Smile inside your heart. You will see the face of purity. Smile with your heart. You will see the soul of purity. Smile with your soul. You will meet with purity's all-illumining sister: divinity.
Sri Chinmoy: Purity is the height of aspiration, the length of dedication and the depth of illumination.
Sri Chinmoy: A seeker with a heart of purity does not have to run. God himself runs for him constantly, unreservedly and unconditionally.
Sri Chinmoy: Humility is the pioneer quality that beckons the rest of the divine qualities to see the universal Light of the Absolute Supreme and to grow into the infinite Delight of the Beloved Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy: A heart of dynamism at once embodies the Creator's cosmic Vision and His cosmic Manifestation. A heart of dynamism is an illumining and fulfilling reality which unfolds God the Supreme in His own way.
Sri Chinmoy: There are two types of purity. One is pure purity; the other is sure purity. Pure purity comes from continuous spiritual discipline. Sure purity comes from the eternal child that dwells in the inmost recesses of our heart, fulfilling cheerfully, devotedly, consciously and unconditionally the dictates of the Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy: There is no other way to see God's Face of Beauty than to offer your heart's purity to God constantly and unconditionally. Purity is the seed of your aspiration. Purity is your peerless companion which will never fail you.
Sri Chinmoy: Constant aspiration tells you that God is both finite and infinite. You can see God, clasp God and become God precisely because He appears before you as a divinely finite reality. God stands before you, loves you, illumines you and fulfils you precisely because He is infinite in His universal self-giving Reality and also He is infinite in His self-transcending transcendental Reality.
