Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 2

Return to the table of contents

101.

Sleeplessly and breathlessly
Peace beckons us
For complete God-manifestation
Here on earth.

102.

O peace-lover,
I shall always follow
In your light-flooded footsteps.

103.

When peace navigates us
Through ignorance-sea,
We shall infallibly arrive
At the Golden Shore
Of the Beyond.

104.

Peace
Is the universal music
To inspire God-dreamers
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the world.

105.

A man of peace
Is a lion-heart-roar
For God-manifestation
On earth.

106.

O my mind,
Peace is knocking
At your door.
Can you not hear?
When will you stop driving
My life-car
On the rush-hour road?

107.

Unless we have peace
In measureless measure,
We shall never be able to stop
Our backward-running race.

108.

Only if peace-heart-flowers
Blossom everywhere
Will perfection be possible
On earthly soil.

109.

A man of peace
Is a God-perfection-representative
In a human body
Here on earth.

110.

While on earth,
A man of peace
Experiences, reveals
And manifests
The joy of paradise.

111.

A man of peace
Is God's own
Ecstasy-reality.

112.

When God's Compassion-Rain
Descends from God's Heaven,
It becomes earth-nourishment
And earth-enlightenment:
Peace.

113.

A heart of peace
Is never afraid
Of its tormentor-mind.

114.

A heart of peace
Has a constant flow
Of God-manifestation-energy.

115.

World-miseries
And world-misfortunes
Lead us to our
World-transformation-destination:
Peace.

116.

O my mind,
If you can eradicate
Your desire-shackles,
Sooner than at once
You will be inundated
With peace.

117.

Peace
Is our deathless oneness-life
With God's
Heaven-earth-realities.

118.

Our peace-longing heart
Helplessly swims
In the sea of tears
When our desire-mind
Wants to possess
And be possessed
By the entire world.

119.

Compromise
Is nothing other than
A counterfeit peace.

120.

Alas,
I blame the Peace-Goddess,
Although it is I
Who have anchored myself
To desire-chains.

121.

A student of peace
Is at once
A Heaven-seeker
And an earth-inspirer.

122.

Peace
Is at once
A Heaven-gift
And an earth-life.

123.

Peace
Is indeed Immortality
For the sons and daughters
Of the Heaven-longing world.

124.

The moment I lose
Even an iota of peace,
I become as helpless
As an uprooted tree.

125.

When we offer
Our unconditional surrender
To God,
Peace embraces us
With suddenness and completeness.

126.

If we disregard
The essential value of peace,
Then we are courting
Our own destruction.

127.

Compromise-philosophy
Will always remain
A perfect stranger
To a oneness-heart
Of satisfaction-peace.

128.

Without peace,
The freedom of the mind
Is incomplete, imperfect,
Worthless and useless.

129.

Except peace-navigator,
All other navigators
Sail our life-boat
From nothingness to nowhere.

130.

Peace-pilot
Pilots our life-boat
From the world-oneness-shore
To the world-fulness-shore.

131.

A heart-citizen cannot live
Even for a fleeting second,
Without peace.

132.

O peace,
I feel that without you
I am disgraced,
Without you
I am degraded
In my God's
Perfection-loving Eye.

133.

Peace
Is not merely a way
But the way of God-life
Here on earth,
There in Heaven.

134.

There are two real tragedies in life:
A peace-rejection-mind
And a peace-starvation-heart.

135.

The beauty
Of our today's peace
Is our heart-voyage.
The fragrance
Of our tomorrow's peace
Will be our soul-destination.

136.

My peace-tree blooms
Only in my heart-land
And nowhere else.

137.

Spirituality's strongest
Foundation-heart
Is peace.

138.

Spirituality's highest
Lighthouse-eye
Is peace.

139.

God immediately
And unquestionably
Prefers peace
To our other good
And divine qualities.

140.

It is the peace-anchor
That holds us firmly and safely
To our God-destination.

141.

A man of science
Unconsciously conceals God,
While a man of peace
Consciously reveals God.

142.

The world of science
Does not know
And does not even want to know
Anything about peace.

143.

Spirituality
Not only knows what peace is
But is also eager to reveal peace
Everywhere.

144.

Only the peace-dreamers,
Peace-lovers
And peace-servers
Can transform the world.

145.

God speaks directly,
And not through an intermediary,
When He wants to speak
To a man of peace.

146.

Peace
May not be the easy way,
But it is the only way
To walk along the road
Of Immortality.

147.

No one can claim
God's Victory in his own life
Unless he can prove
That he is indeed
A man of peace.

148.

To win
Not only the visible war
But also the invisible war,
We need only one thing:
Peace.

149.

A man of peace
Has the rare capacity
To destroy the iron walls
Of all the world-negativities.

150.

When we have peace,
We unmistakably feel
That life is not
An endless promise
But an endless God-fulfilment.

151.

Peace
Is the supreme achievement
Of our faith in God.

152.

The wisdom of peace tells us
Where God is.
The guidance of peace places us
At our God-destination.

153.

Peace
Does not come from
My mind-calculations
And speculations.

154.

Peace
Comes from
My acceptance
Of God the Justice
And my surrender
To God the Compassion.

155.

Unless and until
We have peace in our mind,
We shall not know
What purity actually is.

156.

A computer-mind
Is a
Peace-heart-intruder.

157.

When humility exits
From the mind-gate,
Peace is compelled to exit
From the heart-gate.

158.

My life and I
Were introduced to God
Not by the power of earth
But by the peace of Heaven.

159.

When I thought peace-nourishment
Was no longer necessary for me,
I was exiled
Both from Heaven and from earth.

160.

Each time I have
A deep meditation,
I enjoy the harvest
Of world-peace-dreams.

161.

Before peace
Came into my life,
I was totally ignorant
Of what I would be:
A supremely chosen instrument
Of God.

162.

A man of peace
Tells the world
He does not need
A forest
Of world-complaints
But a garden
Of world-appreciation.

163.

Purity
Strengthens the heart.
Peace
Enlightens the heart.

164.

Purity
Is the aspiration-flight
Of the heart.
Peace
Is the destination-arrival
Of the heart.

165.

The ancient school taught us
That peace
Is the world-saviour.
The modern school teaches us
That science
Is the world-saviour.

166.

Love without peace
Is a joint dance
Of stupidity and absurdity.

167.

Self-indulgence
Was my yesterday's mind-choice.
Peace-effulgence
Is my today's heart-choice.

168.

When God saw my heart
Full of peace,
He invited me to enjoy a flight
With Him and His Smiles
To His cherished
Delight-flooded Kingdom.

169.

Peace
Is the golden link
Between man's perfection-life
And God's Satisfaction-Heart.

170.

It is the peace-lover in us
Who liberates us
From world-division-frustration.

171.

It is the peace-dreamers
Who are chosen by God Himself
To illumine
The world-division-enjoyers.

172.

Your attraction to God's Eye
And your devotion to God's Feet
Will definitely give your mind
Peace unhorizoned.

173.

How I wish I could tell
The whole world
That I wish to live only
At one place:
The foot of peace-mountain.

174.

When my Lord Supreme
Is extremely busy,
He asks peace to speak to me
On His behalf.

175.

My peace-progress-life
Depends entirely
On the increase of my mind's
God-acceptance.

176.

May my
Peace-dream-heart-flower
Never wither.

177.

When my Lord Supreme
Is extremely busy,
And cannot speak to me,
He delegates peace
To represent Him.

178.

Peace alone
Has the capacity
To please my aspiration-heart
And God's Compassion-Eye
At one and the same time.

179.

God's Compassion-Role
Begins my peace-invocation
In my heart.

180.

As the birth
Of Divinity's Compassion
Gives me peace,
Even so, the end
Of humanity's commotion
Gives me peace.

181.

Peace is ours
When we defy the mind's
Ignorance-night-tiger.

182.

Peace is ours
When we love the roaring
Of our soul-lion.

183.

O my stupid mind,
How often peace comes and goes.
How is it
That you never notice it?
How is it
That you do not ask peace
To be your permanent guest?

184.

When my mind
Even thinks of peace,
My heart
Becomes full of God.

185.

O my mind,
If you really want peace,
Then you must at once negate
Your world-negativity-desire.

186.

Alas,
When the insincerity of the mind
And the impurity of the vital
Meet together
They strangle the peace-child
In me.

187.

Like my illumination-soul,
May my peace-aspiration
Never age.

188.

Mankind reaches
Toward perfection
Not by the power
Of the mind
But by the peace
Of the heart.

189.

Three inseparable friends:
A truth-seeker,
A God-lover
And a peace-dreamer.

190.

When my heart
Is flooded with peace,
Each earth-responsibility
I take as
A Heaven-opportunity.

191.

Alas,
How can I have an iota of peace
If I do not keep far away from
My mind's brooding anxieties?

192.

My Lord Supreme,
Out of Your infinite Bounty
You have pleased me in so many ways.
Now do please me in one more way:
Do bless my mind
With an iota of peace.

193.

Tall
Is my heart's love-tree.
Taller
Is my heart's joy-tree.
Tallest
Is my heart's peace-tree.

194.

Peace-pretender
My vital was.
Peace-preacher
My mind is.
Peace-student
My heart shall become
And shall remain
Forever and forever.

195.

My Lord Supreme,
May I place at every moment
My world-peace-dream
At Your Feet.

196.

When I have peace in my mind,
I become the possessor
Of sweet and smiling thoughts.

197.

Of all the miracles
Performed in my aspiration-life,
My peace-mind-miracle
Is undoubtedly the greatest.

198.

You will feel
God's boundless Fondness
For you and your life
If you can offer God your heart's
World-oneness-peace.

199.

God tells me
That He never closes His Eye.
Therefore, I must be careful
Never to keep
My heart's peace-door closed.

200.

The more a God-realised soul
Prayerfully offers peace to humanity,
The more he receives
Transcendental Pride
From his Absolute Inner Pilot Supreme.
