June 12
My morning begins,And I ask my mind to tell me
If it knows where peace is.
My mind tells me
It does not know where peace is,
And it does not want to know.
I ask my heart the same question.
My heart says
It does not know where peace is,
But it does want to know.
I ask my soul where peace is,
And my soul says:
"Where else can peace be,
If not inside your own
Silence-meditation-breath?"
Sri Chinmoy, My morning begins, Agni Press, 1996
