Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 7

601.

```

I enjoy God's Forgiveness

At God's Feet.

God enjoys my peace

Inside His Heart. ```

602.

```

A man of peace

Does not roar.

He only soars and soars.

```

603.

```

Simplicity and purity

Are the two rainbow-wings

Of my heart's peace-bird.

```

604.

```

I call it my peace,

But God calls it

His complete Reliance on me.

```

605.

```

I have real peace

When I communicate

With the inner world

And do not interrogate

The outer world.

```

606.

```

To love God unconditionally

Is to become God's

Most valuable Smile:

Peace. ```

607.

```

In the absence of peace,

Man is not the real man

As yet.

```

608.

```

Peace-blossom I become

When the desire-tiger

Has no command of me,

But the aspiration-dawn has. ```

609.

```

Peace

Is the onward progress-stride

Of humanity.

```

610.

```

A man of peace

Is not the world's deliberate

Good-capacity-examiner.

A man of peace

Is the world's spontaneous

Good-capacity-prayer. ```

611.

```

Never do I want

And never do I need

The peace that will come to me

Only after I pass behind

The curtain of Eternity.

```

612.

```

Most proudly and most gloriously,

God celebrates

Both in Heaven and on earth

The peace-victory

Of each and every human being.

```

613.

```

I have real peace

When I do not lead the world,

But follow the world.

```

614.

```

When I was a philosopher,

I thought that my peace lived

Only inside my head.

```

615.

```

When I was a politician,

I thought that my peace lived

Only inside my mouth.

```

616.

```

Now that I have become

A God-lover,

I see, feel and know

That my peace lives not only

Inside my heart

But also inside my entire being. ```

617.

```

If you want to perfect yourself,

Then begin with your heart's

Inner peace

And end with your eyes'

Outer smile.

```

618.

```

Peace wants my mind

To be a brave

Ignorance-fighter-hero.

```

619.

```

Peace wants my heart

To be a sleepless

God-lover-fountain.

```

620.

```

My outer existence is made of

The winds and tides.

My inner existence is made of

God's own Peace. ```

621.

```

Peace

Does not arbitrarily

Rule me.

Peace

Compassionately

Schools me. ```

622.

```

In the aspiration-life

Self-effacement brings us

Peace infinite.

```

623.

```

A man of peace

Is a spontaneous

Silence love-fountain.

```

624.

```

With your back

To the past ignorance-nights,

Run forward into

The purest and brightest

Heart of the future.

Your peace is waiting there

To garland you.

```

625.

```

Have faith in your peace.

Lovingly and compassionately

Your peace will help you

Through all the unfamiliar, unlit

And dangerous streets of life.

```

626.

```

Your jungle-mind-thorns

You can easily avoid

If you want to spend

All your time

Inside your heart's

Peace-garden. ```

627.

```

O my soul, O my heart,

O my mind, O my vital,

O my body,

Every morning make it a point

To see and feel

That peace is the rose-blossom-vision

Of your inner life.

```

628.

```

If you remain inside

Your reasoning and calculating mind,

Peace-existence is nowhere.

```

629.

```

If you remain inside

Your loving and self-giving heart,

Peace is not only here and there

But all-where. ```

630.

```

No wild world-criticism

Can clip the wings

Of the peace-soul-bird

Never! ```

631.

```

Criticism can and does quite often

Not only clip the wings of

But also kill

The peace-longing heart. ```

632.

```

To have an ever-blossoming peace

Is to ride on the waves

Of God's own Delight-Ocean.

```

633.

```

Peace

Is not to be found

In obedience compelled

By the mind-monster. ```

634.

```

Peace

Is found only

In the whisper-inspiration

And whisper-encouragement

Of the soul inside the heart.

```

635.

```

The heart that is always eager

To love the world

Self-givingly lives

In the same God-Pride-Building

Where peace lives.

```

636.

```

If true satisfaction you want,

Then desire not the volcano-mind

And the tornado-life,

But long for a peace-mind

Which will give you

Abiding satisfaction. ```

637.

```

The constant expansion

Of my purity-mind

Has given birth

To my peace-breath. ```

638.

```

My oneness-heart rejoices

When in my mind

Even an iota of peace blooms.

```

639.

```

Even in my dreams,

The very sight

Of the Rainbow-Footsteps

Of my Lord Supreme

Gives me peace immeasurable.

```

640.

```

The indomitable peace

Of the heart

Can easily break asunder

All the unwillingness-chains

Of the mind.

```

641.

```

A peace-invoking heart

Can and does conquer

The haughty unwillingness

Of the mind. ```

642.

```

The peace of the heart

Does not boast.

It just throws out

In the twinkling of an eye

All the mind's impurity-inheritances.

```

643.

```

Peace

Touches the mind's desire-balloon,

And it immediately bursts.

```

644.

```

Peace

Touches the heart's aspiration-bird,

And it immediately flies and flies

In God's Vastness-Oneness-Sky. ```

645.

```

Every morning,

After my meditation is over,

I plant a peace-tree

In my love-devotion-surrender-grove. ```

646.

```

Hope-dreams energise

The truth-seeker and God-lover.

Peace-realities immortalise

The truth-seeker and God-lover. ```

647.

```

Peace

Is the rendezvous

Between my heart's faith

And my Lord's Compassion. ```

648.

```

Our Lord Absolute Supreme

Takes a very special pride

In our world-peace-hunger.

```

649.

```

God's vision-flooded Peace-Smiles

Love to live inside

My heart's surrender-shrine.

```

650.

```

My life's dismal failure-feelings

Disappeared

The day my soulful meditation

Gave me its best present:

Peace.

```

651.

```

O my mind,

If you live in inspiration-poverty,

O my heart,

If you live in aspiration-poverty,

How can you two

Ever have even a peace-bud? ```

652.

```

The ancient peace

Remains unperturbed

No matter how hard and long

The modern war-science

Endeavours to threaten it.

```

653.

```

Peace

Is the constant

And self-giving repetition

Of the seeker's

Spiritual disciplines.

```

654.

```

It is not the Power-Eye of God

But the Peace-Heart of God

That lovingly and compassionately

Leads us

To our highest Destination.

```

655.

```

Mankind's

Yearning for peace

Is nothing other than

Mankind's

Life-transformation-invocation.

```

656.

```

Each peace-thought in my mind

Is indeed

An illumining and fulfilling Boon

From my Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

657.

```

Each peace-thought in my mind

Is an Inspiration-Flood from God

For world-transformation.

```

658.

```

At the time of our need

If we do not use the illumining light

Of our heart's peace,

We just add infinitely more confusion

To the already confused mind.

```

659.

```

With peace we come to learn

That life is a perpetual unfolding

Of God-manifestation.

```

660.

```

My peace-recovery

Shows me the way

To my self-discovery.

```

661.

```

I am achieving peace-perfection

Only from God's

Oneness-Suggestion

And Compassion-Benediction. ```

662.

```

A heart of peace

Never swerves from the Path

Of its Beloved Lord Supreme.

```

663.

```

The mind-beggar

Begs and begs for everything

The heart-beggar

Begs only for God's Peace-Descent. ```

664.

```

Peace

Suffers helplessly

In our self-doubt

And God-doubt. ```

665.

```

Peace-songs

Have the angel-touch.

Therefore,

They are so singularly sweet,

Inspiring and fulfilling.

```

666.

```

My aspiration-peace-crown

Is so beautiful and powerful

That it can easily silence

My monkey-mind-thoughts. ```

667.

```

Peace

Does not come from

My mind's brilliance.

Peace

Comes from

My heart's God-nearness. ```

668.

```

When I live inside

My heart's peace-citadel,

My mind's world-imperfection-storms

Fail to torture my life. ```

669.

```

O my mind,

You simply have no right

To squander my heart's

Hard-earned peace-harvest! ```

670.

```

Each peace-thought of mine

Is my divinity's

God-manifestation-reality.

```

671.

```

Only a God-quest-peace-heart

Has the capacity to scale

A self-conquest-peak.

```

672.

```

My heart's

God-surrender-peace-smiles

Have struck down all my mind's

Doubt-trees. ```

673.

```

My peace-abundance-heart

Always helps me

To invoke my Lord Supreme

And fulfil Him all the time

In His own Way.

```

674.

```

O my mind,

Every morning obey

My Lord's Peace-Whispers

To save you from

A frustration-torture-day.

```

675.

```

The readiness of the mind,

The eagerness of the heart

And the willingness of the life

Expedite the arrival

Of my Peace-God.

```

676.

```

Only a sleeplessly cheerful

And self-giving heart

Can climb up

The tallest peace-tower. ```

677.

```

Peace

Thrives and thrives

Only on my constant and happy

God-surrender-heart. ```

678.

```

For me there is no other way

To have peace

Than to pass every day

The love-devotion-surrender-examination

From my God-Teacher.

```

679.

```

I am divinely happy

And supremely fulfilled

Because I am blessed

By both my mind's peace-sky

And my heart's sunrise.

```

680.

```

My heart's peace

Has the capacity to silence

All my mind's tormenting doubts.

```

681.

```

I have to choose between

My mind-dictator:

Doubt

And my heart-lover:

Peace.

```

682.

```

My mind's thought-house

Is patrolled by

My heart's peace-soldiers

To prevent

Insecurity-impurity-doubt-invasion.

```

683.

```

Each gratitude-tear

Of my heart

Expands my heart's

Peace-kingdom. ```

684.

```

My world-detachment-mind

Has finally brought me

A plethora of peace.

```

685.

```

The peace-sun has finally descended

Into the complaining, doubting,

Suspecting and interrogating mind.

```

686.

```

If you do not tame

Your volcano-anger-vital,

You will not be invited

To God's

World-Transformation-Peace-Recital.

```

687.

```

May my breath live always

In between

My world-peace-oneness-action

And God's Newness-Fulness-Satisfaction. ```

688.

```

Every day God invites

A soul-singer and peace-lover

To dine with Him.

```

689.

```

O my peace,

Do awaken my heart

To God's ever-transcending

Beauty-Blossoms. ```

690.

```

The unquestioning faith

Of preceding generations

Had more peace

Than the questioning, doubting

And tormenting faith

Of present generations. ```

691.

```

As there is peace

In the shining of the distant star,

Even so, in the crying

Of my nearest and dearest heart,

There is peace.

```

692.

```

Peace

Not only strives

To draw us nearest to God

But also succeeds. ```

693.

```

If we want to succeed

In accomplishing something immortal,

Then we needs must have

A peace-dream first. ```

694.

```

If we do not have the feeling of

Collective responsibility for peace,

Then peace will never be a reality,

Either in the heart of today

Or in the life of tomorrow.

```

695.

```

A peace-poverty-stricken mind

Is bound to remain fruitless and useless

In the spiritual life.

```

696.

```

What an absurd idea:

The mind wants to achieve peace

By denouncing

The world's imperfections.

What a fruitful ideal:

The heart wants to achieve peace

By accepting

The world's imperfections

For their total transformation.

```

697.

```

Peace

Remains no longer a dream.

Peace

Becomes the reality itself

When we prayerfully and cheerfully

Walk along

The love-devotion-surrender-road.

```

698.

```

Because I am sleeplessly

And breathlessly drawn

To the heart of peace,

My life is able to swim

In the sea of ecstasy.

```

699.

```

I have no time for anything else

But pleasing God

With my peace-longing heart-tears.

```

700.

```

I am fond of counting daily

My mind's earthly trouble-anxieties.

God is fond of counting daily

My heart's Heavenly peace-blossoms. ```
