Manatita is an esteemed author living in London, UK. He writes spiritual books, flash fiction and esoteric poetry, his favourite genre.
Wisdom from the Master
"When peace is multiplied,
Truth is multiplied.
When Truth is multiplied,
Love is multiplied.
When Love is multiplied, God is multiplied."- Sri Chinmoy
This River of Peace
My struggles are buried in eternity,
Yet my dreams are a snow-white bird –
A soaring eagle --emptying this memory
Of its longing, to place it all at the feet of Love.
Whenever You enter this Heart of mines,
The light zephyrs toast to my honour. Even
The scent of lavenders, whispers Your name,
While sunflowers dance in the distant meadows.
Your sweet wine is scribbled, on the eloquent cadences
Of Lovers. Telling of ballads that sob and cry, they
Quicken my breath; bring tears of serenity to the soul.
Light shines in the darkness; yet it is You who directs my Spirit.
Tales of Your smile intoxicates me, like bedtime
Stories, reaching for the moonlight. I try to unpeel them,
To gaze at the lustre of Thy lips, paint kisses on their
Crimson aura, calling my Heart, to Your celestial banquet.
O Love, O beauty non-pareil, flood my core with
Perennial nectar; help me to enter this river of Peace.
- Manatita, The Lantern Carrier. 18th March, 2021
Wisdom from the Master
"Victory means temporary peace,
But Peace is eternity's victory." - Sri Chinmoy
"Peace is not the absence of war,
Peace is the presence of Love, harmony and oneness." - Sri Chinmoy
Wisdom from the Master
My Lord does not ask me,
For my mind's brilliance;
He only asks me, for my Hearts radiance." - Sri Chinmoy
"God descends from above,
To treasure my Heart
And not my house."- Sri Chinmoy
Peace

Manatita44,
This is so good!
For whenever I think or stop for a moment to converse with him, my inner soul becomes so much lighter.
I can feel the love embrace me with beauty of that like the lavender flowers.
I love all the quotes.
Great ink.

You and me, buddy, floating down the river, no paddles, no motor, just drifting along, propelled by love and peace. Sigh! so peaceful, eh?
Love the message, as always, my friend. Blessings to you, my friend in peace.

What a lovely way to start the day in reading your prose, and others, about peace. Those kinds of words need to be shared. Thank you!

Yes. Powerful!
The one below is just as meaningful. 'House' means possessions ... things of outer affluence that we are attached to.
You are softening Dee. Glory be! I'm always happy when my teachers words can help. Much Love.

God morning, my Dear. No one can accuse you of not enjoying your youth! You're so active here! You would have been a joy to my Master. Day and night it was all serve, serve, serve. he used to say: 'time is so precious, while I'm on earth!' yet he still lives in us. Thank you for this blessing of Love. Amithaba! Om Shanti!
