Inner Strength

The man whose heart is filled with love,
Is never daunted…
Is not cast down.

He does not give way to unworthy fears—
Not about himself, his physical body, or
The welfare of those he loves.

He has been quickened by
The divine light and power—
Nothing can go wrong for
Things only go wrong when
The mind of self starts to fret and rail
Against the circumstances of life.

Then suffering and chaos result
because the contact is cut.

If only you had the strength…
The strength to live always within
Your peace of mind, to live in the truth
Then and only then would you understand…

Joy is not in things; it is in us.
