Poems on peace<\/strong> by Sri Chinmoy<\/div>\n
Expect not!
\nSuspect not!
\nLo, peace is all yours.<\/div>\n

1<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

My inner peace
\nDoes not select anybody,
\nDoes not reject anybody.
\nMy inner peace
\nAlways self-givingly projects itself.<\/div>\n

2<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

O dreamers of peace, come.
\nLet us walk together.
\nO lovers of peace, come,
\nLet us run together.
\nO servers of peace, come.
\nLet us grow together.<\/div>\n

3<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

We can change the world,
\nBut not improve it,
\nIf we do not have peace.<\/div>\n

4<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace is in
\nThe fragrance-heart
\nOf my sleepless meditation.<\/div>\n

5<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Shun the very breath of negativity!
\nLo, your mind has become
\nThe possessor of peace.<\/div>\n

6<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

God asks me every morning,
\n“My child,
\nIs it such a difficult task
\nTo say a prayer for world-peace?”<\/div>\n

7<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace I feel
\nIn infinite measure
\nWhen my life becomes
\nThe fragrance
\nOf my gratitude-heart.<\/div>\n

8<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I receive peace
\nIn abundant measure
\nWhen I take my mind
\nTo fly with me
\nIn my simplicity, sincerity,
\nHumility and purity-plane
\nIn the Sky of God’s Compassion,
\nProtection and Satisfaction<\/div>\n

9<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace
\nIs not the fault-finder
\nOf the world.
\nPeace
\nIs the fault-mender
\nOf the world.<\/div>\n

10<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

God has infinite children,
\nBut the name of His fondest child
\nIs Peace.<\/div>\n

11<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace
\nIs the vision-beauty
\nOf ancient dawns.
\nPeace
\nIs the vision-dream-choice
\nOf modern noons.<\/div>\n

12<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace does not mean the absence of war.
\nPeace means the presence of harmony,
\nLove, oneness and satisfaction.
\nPeace means a flood of love
\nIn the world-family.<\/div>\n

13<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Peace
\nSilences the nightmares of the mind.
\nPeace
\nFeeds the dreams of the heart.<\/div>\n

14<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

World-peace
\nCan be achieved
\nWhen the power of love
\nReplaces
\nThe love of power.<\/div>\n

15<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Power is the most difficult thing
\nTo work with.
\nPeace is the easiest thing
\nTo work with
\nAnd also the most rewarding.<\/div>\n

16<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Do not allow the past
\nTo impose itself on you.
\nDo not allow the future
\nTo come to you unduly fast.
\nJust try to live
\nIn your today’s peace-world.<\/div>\n

17<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

God has not forgotten
\nTo give us peace.
\nHe is just waiting for us
\nTo ask for it.<\/div>\n

18<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Poor is he
\nWho does not have peace.
\nPoorer is he
\nWho does not need peace.
\nPoorest is he
\nWho does not want to hear
\nPeople talking about peace.<\/div>\n

19<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

My heart dreams of peace,
\nwhile my mind dreams of supremacy.<\/div>\n

20<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

May the peace I feel in my imagination
\nbecome a reality in my life.<\/div>\n

20<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Peace can make me smile
\neven through my multiplying tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Peace is a stranger to the rigid mind.
\nPeace is a guest of the flexible heart.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Peace will always treasure and safeguard
\nyour world-oneness-heart.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

In Heaven, peace has another name: light.
\nOn earth, peace has another name: love.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Peace of the compromising minds is mortal.
\nPeace of the sacrificing hearts is immortal.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

If you have inner peace,
\nnobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Patience, patience, patience.
\nWhat you need is patience.
\nIn the heart of your patience you will discover peace-blooms and satisfaction-blossoms.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Peace-dreamer I was. Peace-lover I am.
\nPeace-giver I shall eventually become.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

The real in me longs for peace.
\nThe unreal in me longs for power.<\/div>\n

22<\/a><\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Humanity needs peace.
\nBut where is peace?
\nIt is in love.
\nWhere is love?
\nIt is in life-acceptance
\nAnd
\nSelf-transcendence.<\/p>\n

31<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Peace in my flying soul,
\nPeace in my crying heart,
\nPeace in my searching mind,
\nPeace in my striving vital,
\nPeace in my sleeping body.
\nPeace in Heaven, peace on earth,
\nPeace in every human life,
\nPeace in oneness-heart-home.<\/div>\n
32<\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n

In your spiritual life
\nIf you want to live happily,
\nSuccessfully and proudly,
\nThen breathe in peace, peace, peace<\/div>\n
\u2014 Universal peace.<\/div>\n
