Harmony Poems from Sri Chinmoy

[Guest guest]

My earth-life needs

The life of harmony-light.

My Heaven-life inundates my heart

With God's harmony-light

And

His Eternity's Perfection-dream.

 

~

 

Look in the mirror

And what you see in yourself,

Try to see in others.

If you see perfection in your life,

Then see perfection in others.

If you see imperfection in yourself

And forgive yourself for your imperfection,

Then try also to forgive others

Who have the same imperfection.

The experience of oneness

In darkness or light

Brings about harmony

 

~

 

 

Harmony shall echo

And re-echo

Throughout the length

And breadth of the world

When each human being

Values the beauty

And divinity

Of self-offering.

 

 

If you can create harmony

In your own life,

This harmony will enter

Into the vast world.

 

~

 

When I am matter-bound,

My world within is chaotic

And

My world without is chaotic.

When I am Spirit-free,

My world within

Is harmony-song

And

My world without

Is harmony-dance.

 

~

 

May I treasure

Only those prayers

That stand as champions

Of universal harmony.

 

~

 

As millions of stars

Sing and dance together

In harmony,

Even so, our body,

Vital, mind and heart

Must sing and dance

In harmony.

 

~

 

The present day world

Is unfortunately

Empty of harmony.
