Peace: God's Heart-Home, part 1

1.

```

When everybody is

Everybody's equal,

The peace-heart blossoms.

```

2.

```

Peace

Is the indispensable source

Of immortal Delight.

```

3.

```

Without peace

The mind

Will eventually drown

And the heart

Will eventually die.

```

4.

```

The mind counts

Troubles.

The heart measures

Peace. ```

5.

```

A self-transcendence-mind

Has peace.

A oneness-heart

Is peace. ```

6.

```

Peace reveals

The absolute excellence

Of human life.

```

7.

```

Not only readily

But completely

I depend on my heart's peace.

```

8.

```

Peace:

Our surrender-traveller's

Universal passport.

```

9.

```

When I am

My peace-empty mind,

God becomes

His Joy-empty Heart. ```

10.

```

Peace sleeplessly feels

God's Blessing-Touch

In everything.

```

11.

```

Ignorance

Cannot enslave

A man of peace.

```

12.

```

We must climb

The peace-tree

To pluck oneness-fruits.

```

13.

```

God invites only

A heart of peace

To participate in

His Cosmic Game. ```

14.

```

No man can receive

God's Peace-Abundance

Unless he can show God

His God-hunger-permanence. ```

15.

```

Once you stop singing

Your self-interest-songs,

You will hear the melody

Of God's Peace-Manifestation. ```

16.

```

No citadel

Is as strong

As our heart's peace eternal.

```

17.

```

Faith embraces

God the Many.

Peace is

God the One. ```

18.

```

The mind has no peace

Because it is swallowed

By the darkness of desire-night.

```

19.

```

If we can simplify

Consciously and soulfully

Life's immediate complexities,

Then we are bound to have peace. ```

20.

```

My Lord, I need peace.

Therefore, do keep my mind

Always in Your Presence

And my heart

Always at Your Feet.

```

21.

```

When the divine attitude

Purifies the human attitude

Peace dawns in our aspiration-life.

```

22.

```

There is only one way

To earn God's Smile

Every day,

And that way is

To have peace of heart.

```

23.

```

Shun the very breath of negativity!

Lo, your mind has become

The possessor of peace.

```

24.

```

It is not a better location

But a stronger motivation

That can definitely give us peace.

```

25.

```

Expect not!

Suspect not!

Lo, peace is all yours.

```

26.

```

God is so kind

And compassionate to me

Because I was introduced to Him

By my dearest friend,

Peace.

```

27.

```

The mind that is empty

Of peace

Is always madly hurrying

Towards nowhere. ```

28.

```

I have peace in abundance

Only when God speaks directly

To my aspiration-climbing heart.

```

29.

```

The spirituality-student

Who is fluent

In God's Oneness-Language

Can swim in the sea of peace. ```

30.

```

Of all our divine virtues,

Peace is the only virtue

That has the capacity to manifest

Our heart's limitless possibilities. ```

31.

```

When we have peace,

We come to realise

That our faith in God

Is a direct and blessingful Gift

From God Himself.

```

32.

```

Criticism takes away

The very life-breath

Of our peace-heart.

```

33.

```

Every day I magnify my ego.

But if every day I can nullify my ego,

Peace is bound to befriend my heart.

```

34.

```

When the mind loses peace,

The hope-heart-flower

Loses all its beauty and fragrance

Immediately. ```

35.

```

How can you expect peace

When you serve God grudgingly

And not self-givingly?

```

36.

```

To be a hero supreme,

Do not allow your mind

To be invaded by uncomely thoughts.

Lo, you will be the discoverer

Of peace.

```

37.

```

Every day

Sing prayerfully and soulfully

Your God-surrender-song

That God Himself has taught you.

You will without fail have peace.

```

38.

```

You can start your journey

Anywhere you want to,

Even in your emotional vital.

Once your emotional vital

Enters into your devotional heart-garden,

You will become the beauty and fragrance

Of peace-blossoms.

```

39.

```

I feel peace in abundant measure

When I come to realise

That I belong

To God's Compassion-Smiles

And God belongs

To my aspiration-tears. ```

40.

```

A man of peace

Has the capacity

To persuade the multitude

To cry for God's Light. ```

41.

```

Peace

Is the only soil

In which humanity's perfection

Shall grow. ```

42.

```

My heart knows

That it costs nothing

To be a dreamer and lover

Of peace. ```

43.

```

My mind has to know

That it costs nothing

To be a seeker

Of peace. ```

44.

```

Peace

Is the only end

That embodies

Humanity's

Goal supreme.

```

45.

```

I do not need

An earth-shaking speech

I need

A peace-blossoming earth. ```

46.

```

Peace

Has finally ended

The struggle between

My heart's faith

And my mind's doubt.

```

47.

```

Yesterday

Peace gave me

The choice of freedom.

Today

Peace gives me

The voice of freedom.

```

48.

```

My desire-mind sows

And counts worries.

My aspiration-heart grows

And collects peace. ```

49.

```

God gives me

What I do not have:

Peace.

I give God

What He does not have:

Ingratitude. ```

50.

```

Peace

My heart invoked

For my mind.

Now the reign of peace

Is beginning

In my mind. ```

51.

```

A speaker-mind

Peace avoids.

A seeker-heart

Peace greets. ```

52.

```

When I offered

My portfolio of earthly achievements

To my Lord Supreme,

He sighed and sighed,

For I did not include

My peace-achievement. ```

53.

```

When you have

Peace of mind,

You realise that there can be

No unattainable heights. ```

54.

```

Peace

Is easily available

In the morning light

Of sincerity.

Peace

Is always available

In the evening life

Of purity. ```

55.

```

An austerity-mind

Cannot guarantee us peace,

But a purity-heart

Can definitely guarantee us peace. ```

56.

```

Peace

Descends on earth

From the highest Home

Of God. ```

57.

```

When we have peace of mind,

We shall start climbing upwards

From our untold miseries.

```

58.

```

Peace

Is the only divine virtue of ours

That can summarise

Our heart's aspiration-cry

And our life's dedication-smile.

```

59.

```

A man of peace

Is not afraid

Of losing his peace

To the thunderous applause

Of the multitude.

```

60.

```

We can change the world,

But not improve it,

If we do not have peace.

```

61.

```

If peace does not

Touch my heart,

Then I shall be compelled

To speak to God

With a heavy sigh.

```

62.

```

Alas, we do not know

When humanity will be blessed

With peace

Between the cradle and the grave. ```

63.

```

We get peace in abundance

Only when we are able

To run

Along life's perfection-path. ```

64.

```

God asks me every morning,

"My child,

Is it such a difficult task

To say a prayer for world-peace?" ```

65.

```

We cannot measure peace

By our flying years.

We can measure peace

Only with our streaming tears. ```

66.

```

A heart of peace

Is made of God's

Own Sweetness-Smile.

```

67.

```

My earth-bound desire

Cherishes

False peace-hopes.

```

68.

```

My Heaven-free aspiration

Affirms

Genuine peace-promises.

```

69.

```

God has His own secret Sorrows.

Alas, my peace-empty life

Is shamelessly adding to them.

```

70.

```

World-peace

Can never be founded upon

Compromise and barter.

```

71.

```

My heart of peace

Every morning and every evening

Is blessed by my Lord's

Paradise-Smile-Eye. ```

72.

```

Speed

Is the success-thirsty

Runner in me.

Peace

Is the progress-hungry

Seeker in me.

```

73.

```

Peace

Is not a rapid-growth

Plant.

```

74.

```

Peace

Is a solid-growth

Tree.

```

75.

```

God shares

His sweetest Peace-Breath

With my prayerful and cheerful

Obedience-life. ```

76.

```

A peace-dreamer

Is a pilgrim

Of Infinity's Sky.

```

77.

```

There is no

Real peace

In imaginary tomorrows.

```

78.

```

Peace

Is not to be found

In self-pity-exercises.

```

79.

```

Peace

Is a perfect stranger

To excitement.

```

80.

```

Peace

And enlightenment

Are like flowers

And fragrance. ```

81.

```

The path of peace

Is sunlit

For humanity's future.

```

82.

```

Love illumines

My life.

Peace fulfils

My heart. ```

83.

```

Peace and satisfaction

Are Eternity's

Friends.

```

84.

```

A man of peace

Is incapable

Of world-indifference.

```

85.

```

When self-doubt

Departs,

God-Peace

Arrives. ```

86.

```

When we have peace of mind,

Attachment after attachment

Disappears from us.

```

87.

```

A heart of peace

Hears

God's thunderous Applause.

```

88.

```

When we have peace of mind,

We can ignore

Even major upheavals in life.

```

89.

```

Peace never comes

From nothingness

But only from fulness.

```

90.

```

As Truth

Is the greatest news,

Peace

Is the best news. ```

91.

```

Cheerfully surrender

To the inevitable!

Peace will be all yours.

```

92.

```

I am at peace

Not when my soul

Sees with my heart

But when my heart

Sees through my soul.

```

93.

```

I become the possessor

Of peace-abundance

When I prayerfully adapt myself

To God's Ways. ```

94.

```

Peace

Is not on your sickbed.

Peace

Is not in your grave.

Peace

Is inside your constant

God-obedience-heart.

```

95.

```

Lethargy's peace

Is no peace.

Lethargy masquerades as peace.

```

96.

```

The prayerful offering

Of one's life to God's Will

Is indeed peace.

```

97.

```

Not the mind-forest-wanderer

But the heart-garden-lover

Has peace in abundance.

```

98.

```

God and I get peace

When we can mutually whisper

Our heart's secrets

To each other. ```

99.

```

When I pray to God,

Peace-power

Swiftly comes to me.

When I meditate on God,

Peace-shower

Slowly, steadily and unerringly

Comes to me. ```

100.

```

Peace

Is the most reliable

And most expert charioteer

That carries our heart

To God's Heart-Home.
