Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 1

1.

```

God's Eye frightens me

With its infinite Justice-Power.

God's Feet illumine me

With their infinite Forgiveness-Peace. ```

2.

```

Goodness

Is peace-drop. ```

3.

```

Oneness

Is peace-sea. ```

4.

```

Peace

Is successful mind-surgery

Without incision.

```

5.

```

The eye of peace

Is microscopic. ```

6.

```

The heart of peace

Is telescopic. ```

7.

```

Peace

Is the oneness-bridge

Between my satisfaction

And the world's satisfaction. ```

8.

```

Peace

Is not in self-assertive

Foolhardiness.

```

9.

```

Peace

Is in God-assertive

All-pervasiveness.

```

10.

```

Peace

Is in God-quest. ```

11.

```

Peace

Is in self-conquest. ```

12.

```

The victory of the soul

All-where

Is peace.

```

13.

```

The appearance of desire

Nowhere

Is peace.

```

14.

```

Peace

I did not find

In my beasthood.

```

15.

```

Peace

I now find

In my sainthood.

```

16.

```

Peace

Is not in occult wildfire. ```

17.

```

Peace

Is in spiritual zephyr. ```

18.

```

Possession-greed

Is peace-starvation. ```

19.

```

God becomes the peace-possessor

Only when I smile and sing. ```

20.

```

God becomes the peace-loser

Only when I cry and sigh. ```

21.

```

Man the universal God

Is the flower of peace. ```

22.

```

God the transcendental man

Is the fragrance of peace. ```

23.

```

My peace-heart-nest

Is God's perfect

Satisfaction-Home.

```

24.

```

Unfathomable

Is my God-obedience-joy-peace. ```

25.

```

Peace

Is not in kingdom-wealth. ```

26.

```

Peace

Is in freedom-silence. ```

27.

```

My silence-blossom-meditation

Is nothing short of

My peace-freedom-multiplication.

```

28.

```

Peace

Is the illumining and fulfilling

Expansion

Of my soul-horizon. ```

29.

```

Love-students

Eventually become

Peace-professors.

```

30.

```

Mind-division-supremacy

Knows no peace. ```

31.

```

Heart-multiplication-intimacy

Knows nothing but peace. ```

32.

```

I enjoy peace

Only when I am not afraid

Of changing my stubborn mind.

```

33.

```

When I give God

My resolute achievement:

Surrender,

God gives me

His absolute possession:

Peace. ```

34.

```

When I think of peace,

My mind heavily sighs. ```

35.

```

When I pray for peace,

My heart pitifully cries. ```

36.

```

When I meditate on peace,

My soul proudly smiles. ```

37.

```

My gratitude-heart-peace

Has not only reached

A very old age,

But also will live forever. ```

38.

```

No peace

In my mind's God-emptiness. ```

39.

```

All peace

In my heart's God-madness. ```

40.

```

A God-love-runner

Will have peace

Only when

He self-givingly passes on

The torch of peace.

```

41.

```

My peace-empty mind

Doubles God's Tears. ```

42.

```

My peace-abundant heart

Triples God's Smiles. ```

43.

```

My mind's complete frankness

Is God's Peace. ```

44.

```

God's unconditional Oneness

Is my mind's peace. ```

45.

```

Peace

Is my inner life's only choice. ```

46.

```

Peace

Is not my mind's imagination-tree. ```

47.

```

Peace

Is my heart's reality-fruit. ```

48.

```

Peace

Is not world-escape-relief. ```

49.

```

Peace

Is world-transformation-belief. ```

50.

```

Peace

Is my heart's

God-Compassion-hunger.

```

51.

```

Peace

Is my soul's

God-Satisfaction-feast.

```

52.

```

Peace

Is the spiritual

Beauty-fragrance-bloom.

```

53.

```

Peace takes birth

Only in oneness-love's abundance. ```

54.

```

Peace

Is the connecting link

Between

My transcendental self

And my abysmal abyss.

```

55.

```

Peace

Is a constant realisation

Of my God-oneness-soul.

```

56.

```

Peace

Is a rare experience

Of my God-aspiration-heart.

```

57.

```

Peace

Is a fleeting miracle

In my God-awareness-mind.

```

58.

```

God wants me to make

A little garden inside my heart

For Him to come and sing

Every day

His morning Peace-Songs.

```

59.

```

O my mind,

When are you going to realise

That your life without peace

Is nothing

But a nightmare of nonsense?

```

60.

```

My mind wonders if anyone

Has secretly but kindly noticed

That it has been praying to God

For peace. ```

61.

```

My heart's God-confession

Is my fastest peace-bringer. ```

62.

```

O my Lord,

Give my mind a severe headache

If it hesitates

To pray to You for peace

Every day.

```

63.

```

Among my heart-poems,

My peace-poem

Is by far the best.

```

64.

```

I want more than

God-disobedience-absence.

I want the complete end

Of God-disobedience,

To inundate my life with peace.

```

65.

```

May my heart-surrender

And my mind-willingness

Speed up

To bring down boundless peace

From Heaven.

```

66.

```

Do not stop your heart from crying

If you want peace

To blossom perfectly

In your entire being. ```

67.

```

Peace

Is indeed the miracle-cure

For the doubt-infested humanity.

```

68.

```

Peace,

You are the sweetness-whisper

Of my God-satisfaction-sunrise.

```

69.

```

Seeing God is not enough.

Serving God is also essential

For your life to grow into

An abiding peace. ```

70.

```

My vital, my mind,

Please, oh please, stop fighting!

I clearly hear peace

Knocking at my heart-door. ```

71.

```

I live only for one purpose:

Peace-manifestation here on earth. ```

72.

```

Not by deceiving ignorance,

Not by threatening ignorance,

But by illumining ignorance,

Can we have peace-abundance. ```

73.

```

God never made

A peace-famine-world.

It is unmistakably

A man-made-disaster. ```

74.

```

When the faith of the mind

Runs low,

The peace of the heart

Is compelled to run slowly. ```

75.

```

When you do not have peace of mind,

You walk and walk along

The road of nothingness

That leads nowhere. ```

76.

```

May my aspiration-heart's peace-sun

Sleeplessly be on the rise. ```

77.

```

My life's peace-achievement

Is not only within the bounds

Of possibility

But also in the freedom

Of inevitability.

```

78.

```

The inner speed of the heart

Entirely depends on

The breathlessly smiling peace.

```

79.

```

My meditation-silence

Expedites

My God-Peace-Home return journey.

```

80.

```

Peace

Has the rarest capacity

To illumine the world

With God's own Smile. ```

81.

```

Complete self-surrender

Is perfect God-Peace. ```

82.

```

My mind's happiness-sun

And my heart's peace-sky

Are making me

What I am supposed to be:

A perfect instrument of God.

```

83.

```

Now that I live

In a desire-free zone,

The peace of the Beyond

Is beckoning me. ```

84.

```

Now that I have become

A perfect stranger

To my old galloping desires,

Peace is speeding towards me. ```

85.

```

Because I was born

Under God's Compassion-Star,

My body, vital, mind and heart

Can ceaselessly play with peace. ```

86.

```

God surrounds my life

With limitless peace

Only when I surround God's Life

With my breathless love. ```

87.

```

Cling not

To your life's past facts.

Cling only to your heart's

Fast-blossoming dreams.

Peace will be all yours.

```

88.

```

O truth-seeker and God-lover,

You have only one task to perform:

You have to keep

Humanity's sacred peace-dream

Alive.

```

89.

```

A man of peace

Is indeed

God's unfinished

Compassion-masterpiece. ```

90.

```

Where forgiveness

Is in very short supply,

Peace will not offer

Its visible appearance. ```

91.

```

O seeker,

How can you ever have peace

If you madly envy others

In their nearness to God's Heart? ```

92.

```

O my mind,

I beg of you,

Do not deplete

Your store of enthusiasm,

For I still need

Peace from within,

Peace from without.

```

93.

```

I became

The beauty and fragrance

Of peace

When I smiled

At my gratitude-flower-heart.

```

94.

```

As long as we allow our minds

To be the world's

Separativity-specialists,

We will never have

Even an iota of peace.

```

95.

```

You can have nothing else but peace,

Only when you utilise God

And God's Will

Lovingly and self-givingly

In all that you do

And in all that you become. ```

96.

```

Always practise

A God-surrender-life.

Peace itself will come,

And befriend you. ```

97.

```

Ask the ancients

What is best.

The answer is peace,

And nothing else. ```

98.

```

Ask the moderns

What is best.

The answer is speed,

And definitely not peace. ```

99.

```

O my mind,

How can you have an iota of peace

When you allow yourself

To be flooded

With worldly questions,

Interrogations and suspicions? ```

100.

```

My peace is my Lord's

Supreme Victory-Trumpet

In me and for me.
