In Search Of Peace Poem by Tushar Ray

Peace is the natural state of every human heart
Waiting to be discovered by a distraught adult soul
Since peace is rooted in the core of our spirit
So reclaiming basic peace is our life’s noble goal

Our spirit is liken to a calm gleaming lake
Where mind keeps playing on its surface as its surf
So, mind and spirit are really the same stuff
Differing fundamentally in their vibratory states

So a wavy mind when calm becomes spirit-self
Like the waves when calm, become the lake
Hence sure way to stay peaceful in our very life
Is to merge into spirit-self becoming the lake

Intellect is our tool for analyzing all facts
Gathered by five-senses stored in memory bank
Intellect handles any problem based on the facts
Then hands over to ego for proper execution

So ego must be conscious of shallowly mind
Train intellect to stay still and control inner senses
As senses melt into mind and mind into intellect
Enabling intellect to see truth through the spirit self

Leading a harmonious life is the legacy of man
Careful cleansing of our mind it has to be revived
Teaching mind to detach from all harmful thoughts
And merge into spirit self, the source of our bliss
