Peace-Blossom-Fragrance, part 6

501.

```

God's Body

Is God's Power.

God's Heart

Is God's Peace. ```

502.

```

Peace

Does not magnify our lives.

Peace

Just simplifies our lives. ```

503.

```

No man-acquired power

Can stand against

The peace of the soul.

```

504.

```

Peace

Is not the fault-finder

Of the world.

Peace

Is the fault-mender

Of the world. ```

505.

```

Love may not necessarily

Be peace,

But peace is unmistakably

The Love

Of God the Father-Creator

And God the Mother-Creation. ```

506.

```

Without peace,

Either in the inner world

Or in the outer world

We cannot go beyond

The world-devouring danger zone.

```

507.

```

The inner peace

And the outer perfection —

We must love them alike.

```

508.

```

Peace

Has two private tutors:

God's Perfection-Eye

And God's Satisfaction-Heart. ```

509.

```

Peace

Is the master-key

To open up

All the aspiration-heart-doors

Of mankind.

```

510.

```

If you plant

Good thought-seeds,

You will be able to gather

A bumper peace-harvest. ```

511.

```

You can perform

Your own miracle

If you just sow the seed

Of a world-transforming

Peace-smile.

```

512.

```

If you do not have peace

To accompany you

To your God-destination,

You will never be able

To be successful.

```

513.

```

If you pray and meditate

Self-givingly,

Rest assured that

Peace-bird will ask you

To sit on its wings

For a world-tour. ```

514.

```

Man's history

Has countless pages

To give man joy.

God's History

Has only one page:

Peace,

All-illumining and all-fulfilling.

```

515.

```

Without a life of prayer and meditation,

We can never have peace-dove

At our disposal,

Either by chance or by choice. ```

516.

```

It is from God's

Unconditional Self-giving

That we grow into a

Universal God-peace-tree. ```

517.

```

When I am

A peace-empty mind,

In God's Eye,

I am nothing. ```

518.

```

When I am

A peace-flooded heart,

I am not just something

But everything

To God.

```

519.

```

I never knew

And I did not want to know

Who I was:

A peace-devouring mind

And a peace-supplying heart.

```

520.

```

The silence of my mind

Is surprisingly potent.

The peace of my heart

Is omnipotent. ```

521.

```

In secrecy supreme,

Even the unaspiring human mind

Is certain that peace

Is the only answer

To all world-questions.

```

522.

```

When I accompany

A man of peace

On the road to my

Satisfaction-destination,

I take the shortest short cut.

```

523.

```

Before peace

Became my possession,

No goal was achievable.

```

524.

```

Not only the worst in us

But also the best in us

Needs peace every day.

```

525.

```

Peace

Is at once

God's greatest creation

And man's highest achievement. ```

526.

```

Among my heart's

God-pleasing songs,

My peace-songs

God considers by far the best. ```

527.

```

Peace

Does not have to justify

Its divine existence on earth.

It is we who have to justify

Our existence

By embodying, revealing

And manifesting peace on earth.

```

528.

```

A God-lover

Sleeplessly loves to listen

To stories about peace

From God,

The Peace-Storyteller.

```

529.

```

When I am able to serve peace

To the peace-hungry mankind,

I feel that I am a true citizen

Of this world -

And not otherwise.

```

530.

```

I feel enormous peace

In my life

When my life-boat plies

Between my mind's honesty-shore

And my heart's receptivity-shore.

```

531.

```

God tells me that He knows

No sweeter melody

Than my heart's

Peace-fountain-melody. ```

532.

```

My peace and I are afraid

Of watching the race

Between my mind's chaos

And my life's catastrophe. ```

533.

```

My peace and I proudly enjoy

The oneness-run

Of my soul's compassion

And my heart's aspiration. ```

534.

```

May my peace every day prepare

A new God-shrine

Where I can worship God

With new willingness,

New enthusiasm

And new self-givingness. ```

535.

```

Now that I have deliberately placed

My mind's narrow sight

Inside my heart's unhorizoned vision,

My life has become

All-embracing and all-fulfilling peace.

```

536.

```

When I do not have peace,

I say to myself,

"It is so exhausting

To love even one person

In the world."

```

537.

```

When I do have peace,

I say to myself,

"It is so encouraging,

Illumining and fulfilling

To love each and every human being

On earth." ```

538.

```

The mind's peace-run

Covers a shorter-than-the-shortest

Distance.

```

539.

```

The heart's peace-run

Has neither a starting point

Nor a finish line.

```

540.

```

I get peace,

Abiding and fulfilling,

Only when I write down

God's Messages to my life

With my heart's tears.

```

541.

```

I was mistakenly searching for peace

In my mind's thickening clouds.

I am now rightly looking for peace

In my heart's climbing

Aspiration-flames.

```

542.

```

O my soul's peace,

I beg of you,

Do not leave me alone

With my elephant-heavy

Ignorance-night.

```

543.

```

O my stupid mind,

Why do you think that

You do not belong

To my soul's peace-kingdom?

Can you not see that

My soul's peace-kingdom

Is so compassionately and lovingly

Beckoning you? ```

544.

```

If you can receive peace

Unreservedly from God,

You will be able to give God

Everything that you have

And everything that you are.

```

545.

```

I shall feel completely safe

And satisfied

Only if peace brings me

To my Heaven-Home

At my earth-journey's close.

```

546.

```

God asks me to speak

To His creation

With His Peace-Heart

And not with

My blaring trumpet-mind.

```

547.

```

The outer fortune —

Name and fame —

Comes only to go.

The inner fortune —

Peace —

Comes and occupies

Its permanent seat

In the aspiration-hearts

Of God-lovers.

```

548.

```

Be sure

That what you want is

Peace

And not comfort. ```

549.

```

Peace

Does not believe in

Any opposition or division.

Peace

Believes only in

Oneness-connection. ```

550.

```

Make no demand

On the future.

Peace

Will come and garland you. ```

551.

```

What is peace?

Peace

Is Eternity's Infinity.

```

552.

```

Discover where peace really is.

Peace

Is in God-dependence

Solely. ```

553.

```

Let tomorrow

Worry about tomorrow.

You just breathe in today's

Peace. ```

554.

```

I cannot separate

My peace-wish

From my peace-goal.

```

555.

```

Do not allow worry

To devour you.

Just face the truth.

Peace will immediately

Befriend you.

```

556.

```

I do not want to discover

My peace

In Eternity and Infinity.

I want to discover

My peace

Inside my sweet little heart-nest. ```

557.

```

Adjust yourself

To the stark realities

Of your life.

Peace is bound to take your side. ```

558.

```

Expectation

Eagerly arrives.

Peace

Secretly departs. ```

559.

```

Alas, my expectation

And my peace of mind

Are never on good terms.

```

560.

```

Peace

Is the fruit

Of my God-surrendered action

And not of my cherished

Imaginary expectation.

```

561.

```

O my Power-God,

I can definitely wait for You.

O my Peace-God,

My heart can bear no further delay. ```

562.

```

If you allow

Others to speak first,

Others to go first,

Others to become first,

Peace will, without fail,

Come to you first. ```

563.

```

Keep trying, keep crying, keep smiling.

Someday peace will definitely tell you,

"I am coming, I am coming."

```

564.

```

Do you really want

To control yourself?

Then look at the eye of peace

And feel the heart of peace

Within you.

```

565.

```

First things first.

You do not have to know

The secret of peace.

You just have to know

The secret of self-transcendence.

Your self-transcendence

Will surround your entire being

With peace. ```

566.

```

Before God grants me

Peace,

He demands my promise-declaration

And not my problem-demonstration. ```

567.

```

You must first know

More precisely about yourself

Than about anybody else,

And then work

On your perfect perfection.

Lo, peace is standing

At your life's door,

Smiling and smiling. ```

568.

```

God can and does do everything

In and through others

As well as through you.

This truth will definitely help you

To have peace of mind.

```

569.

```

To have peace,

Be the one who says

A permanent farewell

To self-indulgence

And self-pity.

```

570.

```

Spend considerable time

In finding sterling qualities

In others,

Rather than in finding

Their blazing faults.

Your mind will be full

Of peace-blossoms.

```

571.

```

Do not spurn

The poor world.

Just burn

Your mind's desire-nets.

Peace-plenitude

Your mind will have. ```

572.

```

The reasoning mind

And the fulfilling peace

Are the North Pole

And the South Pole. ```

573.

```

God is a perfect gentleman.

He is not satisfied

With His infinite Peace alone.

He wants to share His Peace

With each and every creation

Of His Vision. ```

574.

```

How difficult it is

To live on earth

Without the heart

Of a peace-sea. ```

575.

```

Unless we are genuine God-lovers,

The peace we offer

To the world at large

Is indeed a counterfeit peace. ```

576.

```

Peace

Moves around unarmed,

Yet peace can challenge

The entire world

Of worries, anxieties and doubts.

```

577.

```

Our inner divinity wakes up

Inside our heart's peace

When the all-illumining soul

Beckons us. ```

578.

```

God's peace-birds

Eat not only from God's Hand,

But also from

The bleeding heart of humanity. ```

579.

```

O seeker,

If you really want to please God

At every moment of your life,

You must every day renew

Your soul's peace-vows.

```

580.

```

On the battlefield of life,

Eventually the buffets of time

Will surrender

To God's Peace-Manifestation on earth. ```

581.

```

O peace,

Do not forget to come

And bless my entire being

Before I pass beyond

The curtain of Eternity.

```

582.

```

We try to cling

To God's Compassion-Peace.

God tries to cling

To our satisfaction-smile. ```

583.

```

Never allow doubt-thorns

To ruthlessly invade

Your mind-peace

If you want God

To remain in His own

Transcendental Delight-Height. ```

584.

```

Peace

Is the vision-beauty

Of ancient dawns.

Peace

Is the vision-dream-choice

Of modern noons. ```

585.

```

Alas, why do I so often allow

My mind's God-disobedience

To mar and torture

My heart's peace? ```

586.

```

My doubtful and suspicious mind's

Totally unexpected

Sincere peace-letters

Please God more than my heart's

Always expected

Love-devotion-surrender-letters. ```

587.

```

God is extremely hungry

Every day

For humanity's peace-prayers.

```

588.

```

My heart's peace-breath

Is, indeed,

My Lord's Satisfaction-Sun.

```

589.

```

A sincere seeker gets peace

In profuse measure

Even from his very attempt

To scale Heaven-Heights. ```

590.

```

Now that my mind has become,

Like my heart,

A peace-fountain,

The desire-world fails

To enter into my mind.

```

591.

```

When your eyes

Are closed to Truth,

Your heart loses its joy.

When your heart

Is closed to Truth,

Your life loses all its peace. ```

592.

```

Peace

Is the smile

That unites God's Compassion-Eye

With man's aspiration-heart. ```

593.

```

If we do not pray and meditate

Unconditionally,

We shall shatter

God's Peace-Manifestation-Dreams

Here on earth.

```

594.

```

Be not afraid of peace.

Peace is the divine Truth

That makes,

Not the undivine falsehood

That breaks.

```

595.

```

My Lord,

How can I ever erase

My deplorable past?

"My child,

Create a peace-garden

With the tears of your heart

Inside your mind."

```

596.

```

When we cherish

An unforgiving minute

Inside our mind,

We become the peace-loser

Immediately.

```

597.

```

God blesses us

With a peace-flooded mind

When our heart's eagerness

Runs, flies and dives

With God's Readiness.

```

598.

```

Peace

Is the only runner

That always wins

Humanity's perfection-race

And Divinity's Satisfaction-Goal.

```

599.

```

When the heart is eager to love

And the life is eager to serve,

Only then is God eager to bless

The heart and life

With His Heart's

Compassion-flooded Peace. ```

600.

```

Whenever I have

A profound meditation,

I am fed by the sweet smile

Of God's all-illumining

And all-fulfilling Peace.
