Peace: God's Fragrance-Heart, part 1

1.

```

I feel immense peace

The moment my heart

Opens its forgiveness-door.

```

2.

```

The sunlit smile

Of your eyes

Comes directly from

The peace of your heart. ```

3.

```

I lose my peace of mind

Even when I unconsciously

Turn away from

God's blessingfully extended Hands. ```

4.

```

If you really desire peace

In your life,

Then dissolve your stupid mind's

Resentment-stone. ```

5.

```

My soul most compassionately

Teaches my heart

How to play peace-melody

On my life-flute. ```

6.

```

Every morning my Lord Supreme

Happily comes and hears

My heart's silence-peace-songs.

```

7.

```

If your mind's name

Is synonymous with

Unaspiring thoughts,

How can you ever have

An iota of peace?

```

8.

```

My Lord,

I do not want Your Love,

I do not want Your Joy,

I do not want even Your Peace.

But I do want from You

The capacity to obey You

Sleeplessly.

```

9.

```

The peace-bird flew

Into my heart-nest

The moment I showed

My life's gratitude-passport

To my Lord Supreme.

```

10.

```

Peace is not

A man-written story.

Peace is

A God-composed Song. ```

11.

```

Today I am so happy

And proud of my mind

Because it has fully accepted

My Lord's blessingful Peace-Advice. ```

12.

```

In my heart-garden

Each peace-flower-plant

Has a unique inspiration-fragrance.

```

13.

```

Of all God's

Blessing-Gifts,

Peace

Is my most favourite. ```

14.

```

If your mind is surrounded

By a cloud of insecurity,

And your heart

By a cloud of impurity,

Then how can you have peace?

```

15.

```

To swim in the peace-river,

I prayed to God

To make me a choice instrument.

But God made me

His loving partner instead.

```

16.

```

When I soulfully

Think of peace

And prayerfully

Talk about peace,

I clearly see that

The Prince of Peace

Is coming closer to my life.

```

17.

```

O Compassion-Lord Shiva,

Do bless me today

From Your Himalayan

Peace-Peak-Trance. ```

18.

```

I acquire peace

Not from solitude

But from my world-servitude.

```

19.

```

Peace in abundant measure

I feel

Inside my heart's cry,

And not in my life's sigh. ```

20.

```

Sweetness-sorrows

Give me

A very special kind

Of peace. ```

21.

```

My inner peace

Does not select anybody,

Does not reject anybody.

My inner peace

Always self-givingly projects itself.

```

22.

```

Peace is

Divinity's strength

That covers

Infinity's length. ```

23.

```

My mind's success-dance

Does not give me peace.

My heart's progress-song

Gives me peace. ```

24.

```

Inside my mind-ailments

Peace is my medicine.

Inside my heart-garden

Peace is my fragrance. ```

25.

```

Peace is not

In my death.

Peace is in

My self-giving breath. ```

26.

```

The love of your mind

May not be for all,

But the peace of your heart

Is definitely for all. ```

27.

```

Peace is

My soul's property

And my life's prosperity.

```

28.

```

We may not see God,

But we do feel

The Breath of God,

Which is peace. ```

29.

```

O world of unrest!

We peace-lovers

Are trembling for you

Inside our aspiration-heart-garden. ```

30.

```

My heart of peace

Is my life's

Self-giving immortality.

```

31.

```

I love

The human beings

Who embody peace.

I even love

The human beings

Who sincerely and soulfully

Long for peace.

```

32.

```

A life of peace

Is the beginning

Of Heaven's

Cheerful and powerful descent. ```

33.

```

Peace is the beauty

Of my heart.

Like the beauty of nature,

I cannot hide it. ```

34.

```

Unlike other friends of mine,

Peace is the only friend

That begs me not to enter

Into the desire-land. ```

35.

```

My Lord asks me to develop

A special kind of fondness

For the sweetness

Of my purity-heart-peace. ```

36.

```

You must stop postponing

Your heart's surrender to God's Will

If you want to have

Divinity's Love and Immortality's Peace. ```

37.

```

Bid your fear, doubt and anxiety

A hasty farewell.

You will be able to enjoy

Immediate peace. ```

38.

```

Peace always chooses

Our hearts

To be its perfect home.

```

39.

```

How can you have peace

If you cannot come out of

Your mind's

Insecurity-imprisonment-cave? ```

40.

```

When God saw in me.

Sincere and perfect helplessness,

He gave me His Heart of Love

And His Breath of Peace. ```

41.

```

A man of peace is

The fragrance of

God's beautiful Garden-Heart.

```

42.

```

Do you want to know

Where the residence of peace is?

It is inside

Your expectation-free existence. ```

43.

```

If you are a man of peace,

Then you are divinely great.

But if you share your peace

With the world unreservedly,

Then you are unquestionably

Supremely and unsurpassably good. ```

44.

```

Peace is my soul's

Brightest readiness-smile

In all kinds of life-weather.

```

45.

```

Your heart's peace

Is bound to be suffocated

Inside your mind's sealed and unlit

Expectation-caves. ```

46.

```

Your volleyball-heart

With its restlessness-game

Will not be able to see, feel

Or receive even an iota of peace. ```

47.

```

My peace

Is my soulful glimpse

Of my Lord's

Infinite Liberation-Light. ```

48.

```

How can you have

A mind of joy and a heart of peace

If you have chronic

Superiority-inferiority complex relapses? ```

49.

```

The mind's imperfection-philosophy

Is empty of peace

And the heart's perfection-song

Is full of peace. ```

50.

```

Peace is not to be found

In my prayer-success-mind.

Peace is to be found only

In my meditation-progress-heart. ```

51.

```

While walking

Along Eternity's Peace-Road,

I need only one thing

From my Beloved Supreme:

A powerful Smile.

```

52.

```

His mind has boundless peace.

Do you know why?

Because his mind is sheltered

Twenty-four hours a day

By a purity-sky.

```

53.

```

At long last

Today I am able to say hello

To my long lost, long forgotten

Very old dear friend,

Peace.

```

54.

```

My heart's gratitude-tears

And my life's surrender-smiles

Are the products of my life's

Immortalising peace. ```

55.

```

Sing, my heart,

Sing Eternity's oneness-song.

You will before long feel

Infinity's fulness-peace. ```

56.

```

My aspiration is my bridge

Between

My Lord's Compassion-Satisfaction-Eye

And my heart's silence-peace-thrill. ```

57.

```

God's Peace-Fragrance-Heart

Is not meant for those

Who live in self-indulgence-world.

```

58.

```

You are telling me

That you have no peace of mind.

Such being the case, I am asking you

To turn your self-doubt

Into earth-trust.

Try, you certainly can! ```

59.

```

You do not have to climb up

To the highest height

Of the aspiration-mountain.

Just start climbing up the mountain

Soulfully and unconditionally.

God will bless you

With his blessingful Love,

Blessingful Joy and blessingful Peace. ```

60.

```

When we give God

What we have,

He gives us

His Readiness-Smile-Eye.

When we give God

What we are,

He gives us

His Fulness-Peace-Heart. ```
