Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 5

401.

```

Each time I have a deep meditation,

I clearly see

That God's golden Peace-Horizon

Is coming closer to me. ```

402.

```

My soul's peace flies

On my heart's silence-wings. ```

403.

```

My soul's peace

And my Lord's Satisfaction

Are Eternity's companions.

```

404.

```

Peace

Is the sacred smile

That adorns the secret chamber

Of my soul. ```

405.

```

At the Lotus-Feet

Of my Lord Supreme

I prayerfully sit,

Not to be His power-lion

But to be His peace-lamb.

```

406.

```

My heart's peace-fount

Is God's Feet.

God's Forgiveness-Fount

Is my peace. ```

407.

```

My heart's silence-buds

Give me Infinity's joy.

My soul's peace-blossoms

Give me Immortality's fulfilment. ```

408.

```

God is my life's golden mirror.

I realise this only when

My heart is all peace.

```

409.

```

The peace-summit-height

Comes down to me

Only when I submit

My life's puny ego-I. ```

410.

```

When I become a true lover

Of both God's littleness and bigness,

God blesses me with

His Fulness-Peace. ```

411.

```

Peace

Is my heart's

Sweet love-melody

To link me with

The Smile of God's Heart.

```

412.

```

When my peace-heart sings

God's Pride-Heart listens. ```

413.

```

The compassion of Mother-Earth

Teaches me how

To pray for peace.

```

414.

```

The illumination of Father-Heaven

Teaches me how

To embody peace.

```

415.

```

Peace

Is my heart's

God-Power within.

Peace

Is my life's

God-Beauty without. ```

416.

```

Man is man's search

For God's Peace.

God is God's Search

For man's satisfaction. ```

417.

```

From time immemorial

Countless saints have been killed

By this ignorance-world.

But their message of peace

Will remain immortal

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world.

```

418.

```

God conceals from me

His sacred Sorrows

If I do not pray to Him

Every morning for peace. ```

419.

```

Peace

Becomes my inseparable friend

When I feel that I love God only.

```

420.

```

Goodness is born of

Wisdom-light.

Wisdom-light is born of

Peace-delight. ```

421.

```

I become the possessor

Of boundless peace

Only when God's Justice-Eye-Court

Declares that I am innocent. ```

422.

```

The moment my mind's goodness

Reaches my heart's temple door,

Peace-Goddess comes to the door

And blesses it. ```

423.

```

God tells me that

I must give Him both hands —

Not one hand to Him,

One hand to ignorance —

If I really need peace from Him.

```

424.

```

If we just carefully

Think of God,

Then God's Peace will not allow

Our world to be torn

Into anxiety-worry-pieces.

```

425.

```

God gives us peace,

Not after hearing everything

That we have to say,

But after receiving everything

That we have to give.

```

426.

```

May peace be the mother

Of my aspiration-heart-beauty. ```

427.

```

May peace be the father

Of my dedication-life-duty. ```

428.

```

Peace

You will get

If you can keep your mind

Away from your yesterday's

Failure-realities.

```

429.

```

Peace

You will get

If you can keep your mind

Away from your tomorrow's

Failure-imaginations.

```

430.

```

You cannot have a peace-future

If you are afraid of loving

Your present life

The way God Himself loves you. ```

431.

```

My mind's longest earth-journey

Has no peace. ```

432.

```

My heart's shortest Heaven-journey

Is all peace,

From the very beginning

To the very end. ```

433.

```

My heart was not born

For world-appreciation.

My heart was born

For God's peace-preparation

On earth.

```

434.

```

Of all approaches,

Our surrender-approach

To God's Will

Brings down God the Peace

Directly and quickly.

```

435.

```

When we go to God

Without the tears of our heart,

God finds it extremely difficult

To give us a peace-meal. ```

436.

```

My heart's peace

Invents

Heaven-fulness in earth-newness.

My mind's silence

Discovers

The Infinite in the finite. ```

437.

```

Not by hoarding

But by distributing

God's Love,

A God-lover swims

In peace-sea.

```

438.

```

God finds peace

When He walks along

My mind's frankness-road.

```

439.

```

I find peace

When I walk along

God's Forgiveness-Road.

```

440.

```

An emptiness-mind

And a soulfulness-heart

Are co-sharers of God's Peace.

```

441.

```

The guests

Of my sound-mind-host

Are anxiety-broods.

The guests

Of my silence-heart-host

Are peace-blossoms. ```

442.

```

God's Peace

Is eagerly awaiting

The perfect renewal

Of my faith-heart-life. ```

443.

```

When I tell God

That He is my only Friend,

Happily and proudly He tells me

That I am His true Peace,

True Perfection and

True Satisfaction. ```

444.

```

When I give God

A portion of myself,

He gives me

The whole of Himself:

Satisfaction-Peace.

```

445.

```

O God-seeker,

Stop not praying,

Stop not meditating!

The day shall dawn

When your heart's love

Will grow into

God's Satisfaction-Peace-Tower.

```

446.

```

Dive deep within

Sleeplessly and breathlessly.

Your age-old longing for peace

Will be fulfilled

Infinitely beyond your expectations.

```

447.

```

Out of His infinite Bounty,

God tells me

That He has not given me peace,

Not because He is displeased with me

But because His choice Hour

Has not arrived. ```

448.

```

Alas,

How do I expect to have

Even a peace-beauty-bud,

When I do not obey

My soul's whispers

From deep within? ```

449.

```

Peace

Is the perfect multiplication

Of my inner life's

Goodness-cries. ```

450.

```

Peace

Is the perfect multiplication

Of my outer life's

Greatness-smiles. ```

451.

```

Peace

Is never without its companion:

Satisfaction.

```

452.

```

In the inner world

When I lose peace,

I deepen God's Sighs.

```

453.

```

In the outer world

When I lose peace,

I double my tears.

```

454.

```

Peace

Is not only

My present friend

But also my Eternity's

Unfailing friend.

```

455.

```

Your task is not

To foresee;

Your task is to see within

And discover

Your life-journey's goal:

The attainment of infinite peace. ```

456.

```

In vain

My doubting mind

Again and again tries

To betray and ignore

My heart of peace.

```

457.

```

If your heart is wanting in peace,

Then you have no claim

To either Heaven-illumination

Or earth-compassion. ```

458.

```

The magnanimity of the mind

Is a significant achievement,

But the peace of the heart

Is infinitely more important. ```

459.

```

God's Peace freely works

In and through us

When our life becomes

Purity's shrine. ```

460.

```

He who sincerely desires

To see others happy

Is indeed

A man of peace. ```

461.

```

Because of the absence

Of peace,

Our world has become a storehouse

Of miseries and treacheries. ```

462.

```

The free advice

Of my inner peace

To my outer mind

Is beyond all price. ```

463.

```

Alas, how can we have peace

When we are looking for

The amusement-park

And not for

The enlightenment-garden?

```

464.

```

From judging

What is right and what is wrong

In others' lives

And in our own lives as well,

We are banishing

Even the little peace

That we have at our disposal.

```

465.

```

When my real peace smiles,

It smiles through my heart's

Aspiration-eyes

And not through my mind's

Desire-eyes.

```

466.

```

If goodness is not always

His supreme necessity on earth,

Then how can any human being

Have peace? ```

467.

```

I do not need the peace

Of the stars and planets

Of the ages.

I need the peace

Of the flowing and glowing

Here and now. ```

468.

```

God gets a headache

When I do not give Him

What He needs from me:

Satisfaction.

I get a headache

When God does not give me

What I desperately need from Him:

Peace. ```

469.

```

My Lord, will You not give me,

Even for one single day,

What I so desperately need from You:

Peace?

"My child, will you not give Me,

Even for a fleeting second,

What I immediately need from you:

Love?" ```

470.

```

O seeker,

Beg the right person

For the right thing.

If you need power,

Beg God the Father-Heaven.

If you need peace,

Then beg God the Mother-Earth.

```

471.

```

My jealousy,

Are you not ashamed

Of cutting off so often

My peace-connection-bliss

With the rest of the world?

```

472.

```

I am sure

There shall come a time

When the peace-lovers

Will be able to bring peace

Into the complex and

Contradiction-ridden world. ```

473.

```

Peace

Does not want independence

But interdependence-reality

On earth. ```

474.

```

A whirlwind of misunderstandings

At every moment

Is preventing the world-mind

From enjoying the beauty,

Purity and divinity

Of peace. ```

475.

```

Even to think of

Permanent world-peace,

We need bulwark-faith

In ourselves. ```

476.

```

A God-surrender-endowed heart

Lives in God's infinite Peace

For His immortal Joy.

```

477.

```

The mind-preacher

Always remains a stranger

To peace.

```

478.

```

The heart-giver

Is a real grower

Of peace.

```

479.

```

The world-server

Is an immediate neighbour

Of peace.

```

480.

```

My soul's peace

Sends aspiration-messages

To my heart.

```

481.

```

My heart's peace

Sends inspiration-messages

To my mind.

```

482.

```

My mind's peace

Sends dynamism-messages

To my vital.

```

483.

```

My vital's peace

Sends willingness-messages

To my body.

```

484.

```

Every day my heart

Most faithfully memorises

The peace-messages

That it receives from God

Via my soul.

```

485.

```

The mind-computer is so cruel!

It shuts out all the peace-messages

Of the heart.

```

486.

```

The moment peace descends

From Above,

A hopeless and helpless seeker

Becomes an illumining and fulfilling

World-citizen.

```

487.

```

I am sure I will have peace

Only after the death

Of my mind's God-disobedience.

```

488.

```

Alas, how can I have peace

When every day

My mind drives me

Along a God-displeasing road? ```

489.

```

When I allow pride,

Anger, jealousy and insecurity

To play inside me,

I clearly see the Goddess of Peace

Heaving a heavy sigh.

```

490.

```

Compromise-cleverness

Cannot feel the heart of peace.

Compromise-cleverness

Cannot even see the face of peace. ```

491.

```

Every morning

I pray most fervently

For peace.

If I do not do that,

My mind gets cornered

On all sides

By serious problems.

```

492.

```

My heart of total

God-surrender

And my soul of fruitful

Peace-abundance

Can silence my mind's

Ruthless and shameless

Turbulence.

```

493.

```

A typical day on earth

Begins not with the hope

Of world-peace

But with the fear

Of world-war.

```

494.

```

My Lord Supreme

Is so kind to me.

He tells me that

All my peace-questions

Deserve special attention

And special answers from Him. ```

495.

```

My heart breaks into pieces

When I see peace

Flying away from my mind

Faster than the flight of seconds. ```

496.

```

My day is completely lost

If peace and I

Do not greet each other

When day first dawns. ```

497.

```

My heart's peace-bird

Every day is fed

By my Lord's Compassion-Eye,

Protection-Feet

And Satisfaction-Heart.

```

498.

```

Peace is superior

To earthly greatness.

Peace is equal

To Heavenly goodness. ```

499.

```

A man of peace

Has the strength of

A lion's heart

And the beauty of

A child's face.

```

500.

```

A man of unconditional

God-surrender

Is a native of the soil

Where God's infinite Peace

Grows.
