Peace-Blossoms-Fragrance – Part 1
Last modified January 26, 2015
Just two days before his Peace Concert at the U.N.’s Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium on November 22 and his New Year’s meditation on December 1st at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Manhattan.
Sri Chinmoy wrote these poems in New York on 11th and 12th of November 1994.
“World peace can blossom throughout the length and breadth of the world only when the world-peace-dreamers, world-peace-lovers and world-peace-servers desperately, sleeplessly and breathlessly long for the full manifestation of peace here on earth.”
Sri Chinmoy, A Peace-Collecting Pilgrim-Soul, Agni Press, 1980.
“Man invents war. Man discovers peace. He invents war from without. He discovers peace from within. War man throws. Peace man sows. The smile of war is the flood of human blood. The smile of peace is the love, below, above.”
Sri Chinmoy, Songs of the Soul, Agni Press, 1971
