Dr. Madan Gandhi Poems

Oh ocean of loving compassion
pour on us Your nectar rain
heal our wounds of hatred and war
...

War is a human invention
all seeds of strife and war
man himself has sown
death’s harvest to reap
...

Peace the seed
peace the soil
peace the plough
peace the crop
...

Man draws strength from myriad power centres
to connect with the Order of the universe
to realise oneness with Infinite Power
whose prime locus lies in one’s heart
...

You can see the bottom of a lake
if water is crystalline, transparent
the truth’s face only a clear mirror reflects
...

Messages of all prophets point to the One
when seen through the lens of love
as all the rivers mingle in the same ocean
...

Only from a perch in inner stillness
you can enjoy the turmoil around
this constant play of light and sound
...

There is no greater religion
across all ages and nations
than Love and Compassion.
The true mark of a spiritual man
...

Walking straight on the seeker’s path
not overwhelmed by the wayside odds
the pilgrim journeys to his home
on the sound-light trail of Om
...

Only a healthy body houses a healthy mind.
To remain perennially young
the two must work in unison
as the wheels in quick motion
...
