God’s Compassion is ready to tell you
How to increase your heart’sAspiration-cry.
God’s Compassion is ready to tell youHow to increase your life’s
Dedication-smile.Just look at God’s Compassion-Eye!
```Your mind-room has to be kept
As beautiful and pureAs your heart-garden.
Only then will God pilot your life-boatCheerfully and proudly.
```If you forget your oneness-key,
You will never be able to enterGod’s secret and sacred Satisfaction-Room.
```When did God ask you
To walk on ignorance-road?He has always been asking you
To fly with HimOn His Heart-Beauty’s Compassion-Wings.
```If you do not keep yourself
Away from ignorance-hunger,How can God grant you
His Heart’s Confidence-SmileTo represent Him here on earth?
```Tranquillity is a direct flight
To the consciousness-illumined land.All other flights
Are bound to stop overAt various mind-airports.
```If your heart cries for perfection-oneness,
Then God will grant youNot only perfection-oneness
But also His Heart’sSatisfaction-Fulness.
```If you go to desire-bank,
What can you expect from yourselfExcept to use up
All your pleasure-accounts? ```Export doubt
From your mind-land.Import faith
From God’s Perfection-Land.Try to do both immediately!
```When my devotion-tears
Drop at my Lord’s Compassion-Feet,God plays on His
Dream-fulfilled Clarion. ```My Lord Beloved Supreme,
I am my desire-desert.Can You not be Your Forgiveness-River?
```My Lord Supreme every day
Tells me two things to do:To steal Compassion
From His Vision-EyeAnd to steal Satisfaction
From His Oneness-Heart. ```Every day I try to nourish
My heart’s aspiration-cryWith my soul’s delight-flames.
```Impossibility
And the mind’s phantom-hoursAre for those who live in the mind
And cannot go beyondThe solid confines of the mind.
```Transcendence-perfection
Is the ultimate evolutionOf absolute Truth.
```Every morning
I love to watch the dawnOf my heart’s hopeful smiles.
```O my purity-heart,
Where can I find your equal?O my wisdom-soul,
Where can I find your equal?O my Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet,
Where can I find Your equal? ```If your mind is an abysmal abyss,
Then pray to God to allow your soulTo enter into the abyss
With its silence-light. ```Your Master is he
Who is a perfect slaveTo God’s all-fulfilling Will
In your own aspiration-life. ```If you sing with your heart’s
Inevitability-singer,Then your mind’s impossibility-singer
Will definitely run away. ```If your soul is ready
To fight with ignorance-night,Then be with your soul
Soulfully and bravelyTo the finish!
```One God-man can take care
Not only of youBut of the entire world.
All he needs isYour heart’s sleepless faith in him.
```Do not be afraid of tasting
The bitterness of failure.Be brave!
The sweetness of successWill before long befriend you.
```If you allow your thoughts
To control your mind,Your heart’s cry will never be able
To reach God’s Compassion-Eye-Height. ```Never make a deal with your mind!
Are you a fool?Your mind will eventually rob you
Of all the divine qualitiesYou were born with.
```You want to destroy
Your mind’s thought-factory.Indeed, this is a wrong desire.
Do not destroy the thought-factory,But produce God-loving thoughts
In that factory. ```With your boring mind
You displease the divine around you.With your sleeping body
You displease the divine within you. ```Farewell, O earth!
I do not need your wild criticismAny more.
Farewell, O Heaven!
I do not need your heartless indifferenceAny more.
```You are your small life’s
Tiny dedication.How can you expect God to grant you
His vast Satisfaction-Smile? ```Every morning God comes
To visit your heart,But your ignorance-heart
Enjoys living in a coma. ```If you have no aspiration-cry,
How can your MasterReceive God’s Satisfaction-Smile
For you? ```At long last
My heart has found its purity,Which was stolen away
By my mind’s impurity-thief. ```The human mind
Does not want to standAt God-journey’s starting line.
It only likes to standAt man-journey’s starting line.
```If you meditate on yourself —
On your doubting mindAnd on your trembling heart —
When and how can God grant youHis own Soul’s adamantine Will?
```Heaven did not help me
When I came down into the world.Now earth is not helping me either,
Although sleeplessly I am tryingTo fly into Heaven.
```What are the privileges
Of God-Friendship?You can enjoy God’s
Unconditional blessingful LoveAll the time.
```“God for God’s sake”
From now onShall open up the new frontier
Of my improvement-promise. ```Each human being has to study
Either for a short timeOr for a long time
On ignorance-campus. ```If you want to please God,
Then the easiest wayIs to keep your purity-heart
At His disposal. ```God does not want
The habitual sullennessOf your useless vital.
He wants the rare soulfulnessOf your truth-manifesting vital.
```The foul tongue of human criticism
Cannot hurt youIf you fly with the love-wings
Of your soul-bird. ```No doubt-bullet can kill you
If you wear the faith-shieldOf your heart’s aspiration-flames.
```If you are wanting in inner courage
In your aspiration-life,Then yours will be the progress
Of the slowest tortoise. ```Each human being is blessed
With a few Heavenly virtues,But the chief of all virtues
Is self-giving. ```Time will eventually pardon you
And all your untold crimes,But the question is
Whether you will have the daring capacityTo forgive yourself.
```Vaster than vastness,
Sweeter than sweetness,Is the seeker’s humility-fulness.
```O my mind,
How can I ever forgive you?Do you think I do not know
All aboutYour cleverly secret meeting
With the doubt-dragon? ```Your mind’s small eyes of curiosity
And your mind’s big ears of curiosityWill not be able to receive
Your soul’s luminosity —Never!
```You must daily pray and meditate.
A simple thing like thatWill bring God
The infinite Compassion and SatisfactionTo you.
```God excuses us
For each and every possible faultOf ours.
Again, it is He who expectsThat we shall not repeat
The same old storyOver and over again.
```A carefree,
Vagabond satisfaction-lifeIs founded upon
Man’s hallucination-mind. ```If you are a clever man,
Then you will tryTo surprise the world
With your mind’s brilliance.If you are a wise seeker,
Then you will tryTo inspire the world
With your heart’s cry. ```Why are you so anxious
To be left alone?If you want satisfaction
From your life,Then there is only one way
To achieve it,And that is by establishing
Your sleepless onenessWith the world.
There is no other way! ```A God-hungry soul
Will never be threatenedBy a doubtful mind.
```Your life’s progress-journey
Will stop nowhereIf your heart is the possessor
Of a universal oneness-belief. ```If your heart is a God-dreamer,
Then eventuallyYou are meant to be
God’s creation-lover. ```He who has faith
In God’s infinite Compassion-LightIs definitely basking
In God-Eternity’s Sunshine. ```The doubting mind enjoys
Tornado-perplexity.The searching and aspiring mind enjoys
The emptiness-fulnessOf silence-light.
```Each unhealthy thought
Is an immediate destroyerOf your heart’s confidence-plants.
```If you have an eye of hope,
If you have a heart of faithAnd if you have a life of dynamism,
Then God-fulfilment in and through youWill definitely be an easy task.
```When Heaven descends
It does not seeEven one heart of satisfaction-light
On earth.When earth ascends
It does not seeEven one soul of frustration-night
In Heaven. ```To illumine your mind’s
Confusion-night,Every day call God by His real Name:
Infinity’s Compassion-Light. ```You may allow all your other possessions
To be taken away,But do not allow one possession of yours
To be stolen,And that possession is
Your Eternity’s hope-boat. ```A God-lover keeps his heart
Always readyFor another God-lover
To come in and station himself. ```Do not be a fool!
God has not asked youTo visit the grave
Of your deceased dreams.He always asks you
To treasureYour towering dreams.
```Only when your aspiration is intense,
Only when your dedication is genuine,Can you conquer the torture
Of self-doubt. ```Even if you do not want
To approach God with your eyes open,No harm!
But you have to approach GodWith your heart’s door wide open!
```A seeker’s God-inspired mind
AloneCan befriend a God-illumined heart.
```Your success-sunshine
Can be unlimitedOnly when your dedication-arms
Do not enjoy the lifeOf comfort and ease.
```God and His Compassion-Eye
And God and His Forgiveness-HeartAre my aspiration-life’s
Faith-steering wheels. ```I am expecting God to forgive me.
I do not know, alas,If God is expecting from me
My complete life-perfection. ```Do not give up,
Do not give up!Your prayer-life
Is your future salvation.Your meditation-heart
Is your future perfection.Do not give up!
```Each God-inspired thought
Is God’s Satisfaction-SmileIn His manifested earth-consciousness.
```Each time I smile at God
With my gratitude-heart,God grants me His blessingful Hands
And powerful Eye. ```I am asking God
To forgive me.God is asking me
To receive Him first. ```God wants you to surrender
To HimBoth your mind’s ignorance-imperfection
And your heart’s wisdom-aspiration. ```The bond of oneness,
The aspiring heart is.The division of mutual aloofness,
The doubting mind is. ```Your mind may not be
Tired of seeingThe deception on your face,
But your heart is not onlyTired of it
But also mortified by it. ```The human mind desires
The pride of liberty.The divine heart treasures
The beauty, charm and fruitfulnessOf liberty.
```There was a time
When my mind was attachedTo temptation-greed.
But now my mind is devotedTo perfection-hunger.
```Once you have sown faith-seed
Inside your heart-garden,You are bound to be supremely happy,
For you will have the capacityTo go far beyond
The confines of reason. ```The seeker can easily be blessed
By the illumination and protection-wingsOf a God-sent messenger
If the seeker can sleeplessly liveInside the genuine core
Of his aspiration-faith. ```Do not be afraid of a sharp turn
At every corner of your life!Do not forget that life
Is a constant challenge,And only a hero-warrior
Can and will winOn its battlefield.
```Dream not
Of hopes for tomorrow.Live only in today’s
Promise-fulfilment-determination. ```Hope is sweet.
Hope is illumining.Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.Therefore, do not give up hope
Even in the sunset of your life. ```Poor mind!
It suffers fromUnproductive worries and anxieties.
Yet it will not welcome or invokeInfinity’s tranquillity,
For unconsciously it cherishesThe powerful blows of anxiety and worry.
```The darkness of the thought-world
Every human being has seen,But the light of will-power
Very few people can invoke. ```Why do you need a diploma
For your virtues,Since God is eagerly waiting
To place you on His own ThroneAnd bless you with His own Crown?
```The eternal grievances of mankind
Can be illuminedOnly when this world is blessed
With a oneness-heart of purity. ```Aspiration awakens.
Meditation illumines.Aspiration awakens
The sleeping heart.Meditation illumines
The unlit life. ```God cares for your life
In a very special wayBecause you take very good care
Of your aspiring heart. ```God wanted you to give Him
Your oneness-heart.Alas, you gave Him
Your haughtiness-mind, instead. ```The grumbling mind
Should know why it has failed.The crying heart
Knows why and how it has succeeded. ```Because of your heart’s gratitude-leaf,
You are divinely good.Because of your life’s surrender-flower,
You are supremely perfect. ```The heart knows
Where God is.The mind does not know.
What is infinitely worse,It does not care to know
Where God is. ```You say to God,
“Father, I have failed.”God says to you,
“Are you so sure, My son?”You say to God,
“Father, I have succeeded!”God says to you,
“My son, I am not so sure.” ```Since God Himself
Is taking the troubleOf examining me,
Can I not be strictWith my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life? ```You are assailed by doubts
Because you are not sailingAt every moment
Your heart’s aspiration-boat. ```Enough is enough, my mind!
Either you capitulateTo my God-seeking heart
For your radical transformation,Or you will have to face
Complete annihilation! ```God will never stop giving you
His Encouragement-SmileIf your heart really prays
For your life’s unprecedented progress. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 112, Agni Press, 1987
