Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 3

201.

```

Peace I get

When my mind

Laughs at me

Powerfully. ```

202.

```

Peace I get

When my heart

Cries with me

Helplessly. ```

203.

```

Peace I get

When my soul

Smiles at me

Majestically. ```

204.

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That if I sleeplessly walk

The way of the heart,

I shall have peace

In abundance.

```

205.

```

The mind-nothingness

Gives birth to

The peace-fulness

Of the heart. ```

206.

```

A man of peace

Is a constant

God-Victory-singing heart.

```

207.

```

A man of peace

Is a constant

God-the-creation-bowing head.

```

208.

```

To feel peace,

I shall not climb up to

The mountaintop.

I shall not sit at the foot

Of the mountain.

I shall just enter into

My heart-nest.

```

209.

```

My mind-tempests may roar,

But my aspiration-heart will have

Its peace-harvest.

```

210.

```

Keep your hope-heart

Free from your mind-clouds.

Lo, peace is fast approaching you!

```

211.

```

God gets His Peace of Mind

Only from

My singing and dancing heart.

```

212.

```

A continuous leap

Of God-faith

Is giving my life peace

In boundless measure. ```

213.

```

When I make my God-shrine

With my heart-tears,

Peace inundates my life.

```

214.

```

Peace

Is always eager

To be at your disposal.

Just be harmless in thought

And selfless in action.

```

215.

```

Where else is peace

If not in

My self-effacement-days?

```

216.

```

Where else is peace

If not in

My God-appointment-hours?

```

217.

```

Heart-expansion

Is peace-invention. ```

218.

```

Doubt-invasion

Is peace-perdition. ```

219.

```

If it is true

That my too outward mind

Has no peace,

Then it is equally true

That my too inward heart

Is all peace. ```

220.

```

When my mind,

My mind's willingness

And I

Walk slowly along

The road of life,

Peace readily accompanies us. ```

221.

```

When my heart,

My heart's eagerness

And I

Run fast along

The road of life,

Peace proudly runs with us. ```

222.

```

Your faith-heart

Is a big house.

Invite peace to come

And live with you permanently,

Free of charge!

```

223.

```

A God-affirmation-heart

Not only knows

Where God and God's Peace live

But also has established

Its devoted oneness with them.

```

224.

```

A self-assertion-mind

Does not even want to know

Where God and God's Peace

Live. ```

225.

```

I deeply enjoy my earth-life

When I watch the game of hide-and-seek

Between my life's magnitude-mind

And my heart's plenitude-peace. ```

226.

```

My soul's smiles

Tell my heart's tears

Where God's Peace is.

My heart's tears go to God

And bring me a peace-fountain.

```

227.

```

God cheers me thunderously

When He sees that

I value peace infinitely more

Than anything else

In my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

228.

```

When I pray,

My mind charmingly flies

In peace-sky.

```

229.

```

When I meditate,

My heart confidently flies

Beyond, far beyond,

The peace-sky. ```

230.

```

Not only is the mind-train too late

And too slow,

But it also never arrives

At the peace-station. ```

231.

```

The heart-plane starts

Well ahead of time,

Flies at supersonic speed

And lands at peace-destination

Well ahead of time.

And who comes to receive it?

The Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

232.

```

My peace-heart-plant

Makes my Lord glad,

Infinitely more than

I can ever imagine. ```

233.

```

Only my peace-heart-tree

Can console my Lord

When He is sad.

```

234.

```

Only my peace-heart-flowers

And fruits

Can pacify my Lord

When He is mad. ```

235.

```

My restless mind,

My heedless heart

And my prayerless life

Are undesirable strangers

Who are forbidden to enter

Into my soul's peace-palace. ```

236.

```

How can I have

Even a peace-drop

When I am all the time

At war with myself? ```

237.

```

May my mind's

Peace-fortress

Always remain invulnerable.

```

238.

```

May my heart's

Peace-temple

Always remain unassailable.

```

239.

```

Do not hurry with anybody.

It does not help.

Do not worry with anybody.

It does not help.

But feel sorry for anybody in trouble,

And pray to God to bless them

With peace-abundance.

```

240.

```

God tells me that

He will give my mind

His own Peace-Crown

And my heart

His own Peace-Throne

If I can make my mind a gratitude-song

And my life a surrender-dance.

```

241.

```

Give everything.

Expect nothing in return.

A sea of peace

Will most lovingly invite you

To swim in its vastness.

```

242.

```

Take dynamism-exercise

In your mind-gymnasium.

Peace-bodybuilders

Will join you and inspire you. ```

243.

```

Take music lessons

Inside your heart-garden.

Peace-soul-singers

Will join you and illumine you. ```

244.

```

My mind loves and needs

God's Peace-Compassion-Arms.

My heart loves and needs

My Lord's Peace-Protection-Feet. ```

245.

```

Precisely because

Yours has become

A totally God-surrendered life,

God is giving you His own Peace. ```

246.

```

Not my thousands of poems on peace

But my life's

Love-devotion-gratitude-blossoms

Will enable me to be a true student

At the universal peace-school.

```

247.

```

God's Transcendental Delight

And God's Universal Peace

Are sleeplessly and breathlessly

Interdependent. ```

248.

```

If we do not have

Peace-abundance,

Slowly and gradually

Our divine qualities

Will fade away into nothingness.

```

249.

```

We are destined to run along

The sunlit road

If our heart is all peace.

```

250.

```

O seeker,

You cannot have peace

Because you are schooled

In the art of self-deception. ```

251.

```

Peace

Devours both our self-doubt

And our God-doubt-thoughts.

```

252.

```

Peace

Is the source

Of my detachment-perfection.

```

253.

```

My peace

Every day flies

On world-perfection-wings

To please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

254.

```

Peace

Is at once truth-finder

And falsehood-chaser.

```

255.

```

Peace

Is my heart's

God-receptivity-magnet.

```

256.

```

With peace

My life's perfection-preparation

Begins.

```

257.

```

My heart's peace

Is my God-satisfaction-secret. ```

258.

```

The spiritual mortality rate

Is high, higher, highest

Because humanity's heart

Is not yet touched by peace. ```

259.

```

I depend on my Lord Supreme.

My Lord Supreme depends on

My life's ever-blossoming peace.

```

260.

```

Now that peace

Has befriended me,

My God-disobedience-life

I can prolong no more. ```

261.

```

A man of peace

Is no longer

His self-indulgence-victim.

```

262.

```

Peace

Is the heart of my future

And not the mind of my past.

```

263.

```

Peace

Is my mind-detachment-life.

Peace

Is my heart-attachment-God. ```

264.

```

Peace

Is God's Satisfaction

With my life

And my satisfaction

In God's Heart.

```

265.

```

My mind-centred science

Finds peace nowhere.

My heart-centred spirituality

Discovers peace all-where. ```

266.

```

Because I now have

Peace of mind,

I do not have to renounce

The world-snare. ```

267.

```

Because I now have

Peace of mind,

I can safely walk through

The world-forest. ```

268.

```

Because I do not have

An iota of peace,

My Lord Supreme is sad.

Because my Lord Supreme is sad,

I shall die from excruciating

Heart-pangs. ```

269.

```

As my mind's fear and doubt

Are running partners,

Even so, my heart's love and peace

Are running partners. ```

270.

```

To my extreme joy and satisfaction,

My heart's love and peace always win

The God-satisfaction-race.

```

271.

```

O peace,

How kind and compassionate you are!

You always have time

To make me good and perfect. ```

272.

```

Now that my heart's peace-sun

Is rising,

My mind's ego-absurdities

Are disappearing fast, very fast. ```

273.

```

Peace

Sleeplessly prepares me

For my God-satisfaction.

```

274.

```

Of all my inner life-tutors,

Peace is by far the best,

To help me most successfully pass

My God-examination. ```

275.

```

The incorrigible mind

Must surrender

To the invincible heart

Of peace. ```

276.

```

As I was born

To love God,

Even so,

Peace was born

To show me the way.

```

277.

```

He who has peace

At every single moment

Of his life

Is at once a God-lover

And God-possessor.

```

278.

```

O my peace-nest-heart,

I shall cherish you

To my last breath.

```

279.

```

Nothing is as good

In my heart

And nothing is as perfect

In my life

As peace.

```

280.

```

Peace is at once

My mind's sure

Success-power

And my heart's pure

Progress-delight.

```

281.

```

Peace

Is oneness-love universal

In action.

```

282.

```

Peace is at once

The fragrance of humanity's heart

And the beauty of humanity's life.

```

283.

```

My mind says,

"God, do stand by me.

I need Your Power."

My heart says,

"Lord, do stay inside me.

I need Your Peace." ```

284.

```

My peace

Embodies Heavenly news

And illumines earthly views.

```

285.

```

Peace

Does not speak.

Peace

Loves God in man

And serves man in God.

```

286.

```

My gratitude-breath

Is my peace-invocation

To my Lord Supreme.

```

287.

```

My peace

Is my soul's unhorizoned strength

And my heart's limitless breath.

```

288.

```

In the inner world,

Peace

Is God's private plane.

```

289.

```

In the outer world,

Peace

Is God's fastest flight.

```

290.

```

In the higher world,

Peace

Is man's happiest destination.

```

291.

```

Peace

Is a God-lover's

Aspiration-harvest.

```

292.

```

Peace

Is the indomitable response

To life's every challenge.

```

293.

```

O my mind,

How can you have peace?

Can you not see

That you are totally paralysed

By desire-attack?

```

294.

```

A man of peace

Spreads his divine

Birthright-light

On earth. ```

295.

```

Peace

Becomes a reality

Only after endless

Patience-preparation. ```

296.

```

A heart of peace

Easily silences

The mind's confusion-tornado.

```

297.

```

My Lord Supreme,

May my peace-dream-crop

Not remain unharvested

For long. ```

298.

```

God will grant you peace

If you can learn

How to divinely love yourself

First. ```

299.

```

When your heart's aspiration

Rings true,

Who can prevent you from welcoming

The imminent arrival of peace? ```

300.

```

When your life

Becomes a faith-boat,

The Peace-God will come

To pilot you

To the all-illumining

Golden Shore. ```
