Inner Stillness Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

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

By pure love and patient diligence
you may sow seeds of eternal life
in a world torn by mortal strife

No eagle soaring in the skies
no smooth sailing in the orbit
until love weaves the magic carpet

When love fills the heart
it begins to flow down
in a stream of compassion

Towards the ‘wretched of the earth’
who belong to no land
but who will herald a new birth.
(Yayati)
