1225 What is peace?
I tried to know
What peace is?
Till this day
I never understood
Still I came to you
To know from you
But till this day
I didn’t receive the answer
One way
This is also good for me
Because I don’t have
The maturity to receive it
As I talk so many things
And think so many things
It will never within my reach
As I have a wavering mind
What are the
Training is there for that
I have done all of them
And get defeated at the end
If anyone say
Anything new
I even
Tried that
As it became
An understandable riddle
I began to live with it
Not disclosing the riddle
As there are
So many unanswered questions
I added this
Along with it

The one constant topic on which I often meditate is ‘peace’. What actually is this peace? I know for sure it not keeping a stoic indifference in life. It is not absence of problems, worries, struggles, pains, suffering and what not. Even the promise of the Lord of giving His peace, though real in several situations looks more like idealism than real in life. Of course I strongly believe that this peace which the Lord promises to give is not absence of suffering, problem, worries, temptations and trials but the assurance that in spite of all these He is with me.
So to all my questions about peace till this day I didn’t receive a convincing answer. For me even God is not giving any clear answer to me. But as there remain so many unanswered questions in life, I included this one and allowed it remain a riddle in my life.
1225 எது அமைதி
அமைதி எதுவென
அறிந்திட முயன்றேன்
அதனை அறியாமல்
இதுவரை இருந்தேன்
ஆயினும் அறிந்திட
உன்னிடம் வந்தேன்
ஆனாலும் இதுவரை
பதில்வரக் காணேன்
இதுவும் ஒருவிதம்
எனக்குமே நல்லது
அதையேற்கும் பக்குவம்
இல்லாமல் போனது
எதையேனும் எண்ணி
ஏதேனும் பேசி
எப்போதும் அலைமோதும்
எனக்கது எட்டாது
என்னென்ன பயிற்சிகள்
அதற்குமே உள்ளதோ
எல்லாமே செய்து
அனைத்திலும் தோற்றேன்
எவரேனும் புதிதாக
ஏதேனும் சொன்னால்
அதனை நானும்
முயன்றுமே பார்த்தேன்
புரியாத புதிராக
அதுமறிப் போக
புதிரை அவிழ்க்காமல்
அதனுடன் வாழ்கிறேன்
விடையற்ற கேள்விகள்
ஏராளம் இருக்க
அவற்றோடு இதனை
சேர்த்துக் கொண்டேன்
