Was my gift to God.

Anything from God in return,
Not even a smile.
That is why I am divinely happy
And God is supremely proud of me.

Even sorry-sounding excuses
So that it can avoid
The severe punishment
Of conscience-light.

In finding sterling qualities
In others,
Rather than in finding
Their blazing faults.
Your mind will be full
Of peace-blossoms.

“There are quite a few ways to stop the mind. One way is to repeat the Name of God and try to forget oneself inside the repetition of the Name.

But when we have peace of mind, we feel on the strength of our oneness with the rest of the world that everything the world has is ours.”
