Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 7

Return to the table of contents

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.
