Short Peace Poem
Short Peace Poems
by Sri Chinmoy
Peace can make me smile even through my multiplying tears.
~
Peace is a stranger to the rigid mind.
Peace is a guest of the flexible heart.
~
Good it is, to receive peace from the world.
Better it is, to give peace to the world.
Best, by far the best, it is to become the peace of the world.
~
If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.
~
Peace is the greatest triumph of my heart's universal oneness.
~
The real in me longs for peace.
The unreal in me longs for power.
~
Name-fame-hunger-fascination
Cannot have even a glimpse
Of satisfaction-peace-sea.
~~~
My inner peace
Does not select anybody,
Does not reject anybody.
My inner peace
Always self-givingly projects itself.
~~~
The heart definitely wants
To make a peace-deal,
But the mind
Vehemently refuses.
~~~
I can have immediate peace
If I allow others
To be the rulers of their lives
The way I like to rule
My own life.
~~~
If not today,
Then in the distant future,
The voice of peace will conquer
Insurmountable disharmony-obstacles.
~~~
God does not allow
My peace-heart
To hear anything
About my doubt-mind.
