Inner Peace

Salam Kasih
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Love


When you abandon every desire that rises up within you

And when you become content with things as they are

Then you experience inner peace


When your mind is untroubled by misfortune

When you desire no pleasures

When your emotion are tranquil

And when you are free from fear and anger

Then you experience inner calm


When you are free from all attachments

When you are indifferent to success and failure

Then you experience inner serenity


When you can withdraw your senses from pleasures of the senses

Just as a tortoise withdraw its limbs

Then you experience inner wisdom


When no pleasure and no desire can touch the soul

Then you experience the highest state of consciousness


Yet even those who are close to this state

Can suddenly be carried away by a sudden surge of desire

Thus you must learn to meditate

Controlling your senses

And focusing your self entirely on Me
