May peace-dreamers

May peace-dreamers
And peace-lovers
Occupy the length and breadth
Of the world.

When we return deep within

When we return deep within,
We rediscover what we truly are,
Eternally are.

When I Insulted

I insulted God.
In return
He infused wisdom-light
Into my eyeless mind.

I insulted the world.
In return
The world landed death-blows on me.

I insulted my inner strength.
In return
It compelled my fall:
A clean cut forest tree.

Sri Chinmoy, The Dance Of Life, Part 1, Agni Press, 1973.

I Butchered Your Ignorance

When I thought I was the doer
Of all my deeds,
I turned to mist.
I died.
I became the emperor of giant failures.
My soul came to the fore,
Consoled my visionless ignorance.
God made His Appearance supreme.
“You fool, be not wedded to impossibility’s lifeless beauty.
I waste not a leaf.
I butchered your ignorance wild for you
To equal My Transcendental Throne.”

Sri Chinmoy, The Dance Of Life, Part 1, Agni Press, 1973.

Nothing Impresses Me Any More

Nothing impresses me any more,
Save and except
My own deep meditations.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 42, Agni Press, 2005.

The Mind and Heart

Worries and anxieties
Torture
The greatness of the mind.

~

Joy and satisfaction
Befriend
The goodness of the heart.

We Come Into The World

We come into the world
Not only to feed the body
But also to feed the soul.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 42, Agni Press, 2005.

Both God and Man

Both God and man
Are always eager to hear
Some good news.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 42, Agni Press, 2005.

My Lord Does Not Ask Me

My Lord does not ask me
What I have been doing
All these years.
He simply asks me
What I am doing now.

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 42, Agni Press, 2005.

Divinely and Supremely Beautiful

We really look
Divinely and supremely beautiful
When we close our mouths
And open our hearts.
