“Peace is something that we become. Once we become peace, then only can we give peace to the world and receive peace from the world.”
Sri Chinmoy, The oneness of the Eastern Heart and the Western mind, part 3
Within, without the cosmos wide am I;
In joyful sweep I loose forth and draw back all.
A birthless deathless Spirit that moves and is still
Ever abides within to hear my call.
I who create on earth my joys and doles
To fulfil my matchless quest in all my play,
I veil my face of truth with golden hues
And see the serpent night and python day.
A Consciousness Bliss I feel in each breath;
I am the self amorous child of the Sun.
At will I break and build my symbol sheath
And freely enjoy the world's unshadowed fun.
From ‘My Flute' by Sri Chinmoy.
