Peace is my Being
when I am back home.
Here, at home,
there is nobody,
no time,
no regret,
no fear,
no hope.
There is only
the endless song of peace
in a naked mind.

Some have a difficult time finding everything from nothing. Home is where nothing is but everything is there.

Thought
The difficulty comes from thought. Thought is some thing which seems opposed to no thing. No thing is what we are indeed : a silent Spirit free from any thought.

Oh dear maa, your prayer touches so much my heart that it makes me stay at home where you and I are peacefully One and eternal love is our timeless Being...
Peace and gratitude. -
dearest suryame,
what a welcome reminder you have offered us here !
a reminder of staying home, within our heart, in the dwelling-place of peace and bliss. you see, very often I leave this place in my mind, and then trouble starts ... until a powerful reminder, mostly a difficult challenge, reminds me of returning home quickly ... when playing is so enjoyable, the little child doesn't want to go home ... but his mother won't forget it out there, she will call the child back at one moment or the other, kindly and lovingly first, and more strictly if the child doesn't want to obey ... I must admit to be one of the disobeying species ...
so the reminders have to be forceful most of the time ...
but with your little poem, the sweet and kind mother has spoken, and when I hear so much softness, I want to come home soon ! will you prepare me my favorite dinner, mother ? the nectar of immortality so I may escape from the circle of birth and rebirth and from the well of endless suffering ?
please mother, hear my plea, I am your little child, helpless and useless without your love and your caring glance upon me ... mother, mother divine, don't leave me alone in my longing and in my deep despair, I feel lost in a world of war and anger, I cannot bear it anymore, mother take me to your dwelling-place, place me inside your divine heart forever, and never ever let me go, mother, please !!!

Thanks a lot, stoneage. Here is where "I" dwell and it's where you are also, the Same silent One forever free of time. Thought is time. We are not of time nor the product of thought.

A fine example of inner peace, I like the point of peace that you have chosen "home." Home in mind at home or wherever one finds it.
