Oh God! I need a quiet place, <br />Where flows the nectar of peace, <br />Not that kind of dead peace, <br />In the grave, one finds with ease. <br /> <br />I went to the Himalayas Mountain, <br />But peace there was no certain, <br />As the solitude tore my mind, <br />A little peace when I tried to find. <br /> <br />I heard good spiritual lectures, <br />Those from eminent preachers, <br />For peace, I left no place unturned, <br />But with a perturbed mind I returned. <br /> <br />Tell me, oh God, that unknown place, <br />Where lies that elusive peace, <br />What I need, now I can find, <br />So, I’ll have peace of mind. <br /> <br />God answered, “Hey you fool, <br />First learn to keep yourself cool, <br />Don’t search elsewhere out, <br />But dive deep into your heart.” <br /> <br />“Peace isn’t an object that lies outside, <br />But it’s a feeling that’s generated inside. <br />Learn to cultivate peace in your heart. <br />To enjoy this peace, better you now start.” <br /> <br />“Know this I’m in your heart. <br />I fill it up with peace quite a lot. <br />This divine peace when you merit, <br />No need to go elsewhere for it.”<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-be-with-you-latin-pax-vobiscum/
