“And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.” — Kahlil Gibran

POETRY

By Sri Chimnoy

When the serenity of the mind and the purity of the heart work together,
nothing can stand against their immediate success.

Do you want happiness? Then ask your mind to love sincerity.  
Do you want happiness? Then ask your mind to love simplicity.
Do you want happiness? Then ask your mind to love serenity.
Do you want happiness? Then ask your mind to love purity.

Every day I pray to God    
To turn my mind into a serenity-flower,  
My heart into a purity-flower  
And my life into a simplicity-flower.

Happiness means
The serenity  
Of the mind.

Where is Heaven, if not in the serenity of the mind, purity of the heart and simplicity of the life?
