A Poetic Offering by Sri Chinmoy, Leader of the Peace Meditations at the United Nations.

WHAT IS IT?

Meditation: what is it?
Peace of mind.

Peace of mind: what is it?
Self-giving.

Self-giving: what is it?
God-becoming.

God-becoming: what is it?
The beginning of a new journey.

The beginning of a new journey: what is it?
A transcending Eternity.

A transcending Eternity: what is it?
An increasing Infinity.

An increasing Infinity: what is it?
A fulfilling Immortality.

A fulfilling Immortality: what is it?
It is something that I have and I am.

What have I?
A birthless and deathless smile.

What amI?
A sleepless and breathless cry.
