There is within you such a sweetness, such a Peace
as
you should authorize nothing and nobody
to
turn you away from it.
If
all around you people are getting restless ,
going
by in a hurry,
you
are not obliged to follow them
nor
to walk so fast.
There
is within you such a stability as it is enough to put your attention
on it to become so stable like it. You can stay in it as aboard a
fearless vessel at the heart of the storm and look, in complete
safety, go up towards you waves which will never touch you.
They
will not affect you if you remain seated aboard the vessel and even
though you would land abruptly that would happen nothing to you
because, really, the torments, into which this landing would plunge
you, would be only a bad dream, as to be seasick by staying on the
ground.
Sometimes outburts of irritation come abruptly, as flashes of lightning in a summer sky, to attract you outside your shelter, but do not let them do and turn your attention, with even more strength, towards this shelter where everything is quiet, in Peace since and for ever.
Sometimes you are annoyed because of something or somebody, then put back your attention in the center of you. Every time you feel the incomprehension, the impatience, the frustration dive back even more where the Peace stays.
It
is there, keeping warm
It is there, keeping warm inside you, and when you go with it and look at the countryside surroundings, you recognize its rhythm and understand that you are a part of it. There is indeed somebody, inside you, who likes getting excited, going faster, saving time, finishing hardly begun, but don't pay any attention to him, do not trust him.
"Go in the inner
Kingdom and stay in the most perfect Peace"
[Bhaktimàrga
1-3-18]
There is inside your a so
beautiful Peace, so simple and so true and if you do not know how to
go to find it, ask here.
