BEING AT PEACE...

Calm down! Be at Peace...
But what is it like being at peace
Is it when there is no fighting?
For all you have, there is thanking
Or when there is an end to all hostilities
And all around you is an air of tranquility!!

Is it when there is no confusion?
About territories, boundaries or religion
Or is it when I am filled with a new energy
Of effectiveness & creativity
Full of a new vigor & power
Walking towards my biggest Purpose of the hour!!

Is it when I acknowledge in acceptance
The scattered treasures around me in abundance
Or is it when I put to rest
All worries, doubts & resentments
Is it when I am able to choose my preferences?
And avoid wasting good time in judgments!!

Being at peace doesn’t mean running away from trouble, discomfort or noise
But graciously accept with immense calm & poise
The inconveniences, the burdens & the painful experiences
Still be thankful & giving nonetheless
Full of kindness, care, joy genuine
Pure love emanating from the heart within.


Free of disrespect & hostility towards one & all
When cruelty & harshness do scar & appall
But still with everything in love & harmony
When immaterial are gems, jewels & money
When I am amidst all things chaotic
And still in total control of myself...

In agreement with nature
Taking in my stride disagreements & quarrels
No worries, no agitation within
With my inner self in harmony &in unison
Thankful for life, handling everything with a calm happy ease
That is what I think is being at peace.
