My Lord Supreme,
Your Compassion-EyeI adore,
Your Forgiveness-HeartI implore.
```The moment I look within,
I see my climbing heart.The moment I look without,
I see my descending mind. ```The supreme duty of the chosen ones
Is to please God in God’s own WayWithout waiting for God’s outer Command.
```My mind declared
Its perfect perfection.Alas, my soul came and discovered
That my mind is fullOf imperfection-blunders.
```Each prayer goes up
To God the Power.Each meditation brings down
God the Peace. ```The mind thinks
That it can never have a golden future.The heart feels
That there is only one important thing:Eternity’s Now-satisfaction.
```You want to know how
You can increase your heart’s joy?I tell you, just become
The breath of ceaseless surrender! ```My searching mind
Is so happyThat my doubting mind
Has gone out on a long vacation. ```Every morning run
An extra inspiration-mileTo see God’s extra
Satisfaction-Smile. ```Even God’s Compassion-Boat
Does not carryHopeless lethargy-passengers.
```A gratitude-heart
Is every day fedBy God’s own Satisfaction-Breath.
```If you want to leave the world
Better than you found it,Then use your heart of compassion
And your life of concern. ```Even if you do not want
To say goodbye to your desire-friends,One day, to your great surprise,
They will say goodbye to you,For God’s inner Pressure
Will be too much for them to endure. ```God has not created my mind
To live in the abysmal abyss.He has created my mind
To live in the abode of peace. ```An aspiration-heart
Means an exceptionalGod-realisation-opportunity.
```Every day countless Compassion-Books
Written by God HimselfAre given away by God
To truth-seekers and God-lovers. ```When man becomes
A God-serving heart,God becomes
A man-guiding Eye. ```God wants my mind to specialise
In self-investigationAnd not in earth-imperfection
Criticism. ```When I fail
In my life’s examination,I see my poor vital
Carrying my depression-banner. ```God never allows
A gratitude-heartTo be empty
Of His sweetest Ecstasy. ```I clearly see that my mind
Will soon start enjoyingGod-Delight,
For all my doubts are going outOn a long vacation.
```Unless you have
A oneness-heart-passport,How can you have a visa
For God’s inner Perfection-Kingdom? ```My soul has decided
To stay at my heart’s doorAll the time
So that my mind cannot comeAnd steal my heart’s poise.
```An extra enthusiasm-mile a day
Will chase awayThe mind’s frustration-cherishing night.
```The heart never files any false complaint
Against the mind.Therefore, God grants the heart
His Satisfaction-Smile. ```My heart’s soundless sound
Teaches my lifeThe supreme art of self-giving.
```A selfless action
Is far beyond the domainOf expectation-grasp.
```If you continuously breathe in
The breath of your unworthiness,Then your spiritual death
Is imminent. ```It is simply impossible
For a doubting mindTo live inside
The powerfully mounting aspiration-heart. ```If you want to realise God
And if you want to manifest GodIn God’s own Way,
Then your life has to walk alwaysOn a one-way sunlit aspiration-road.
```I have warned my vital
Very seriously,And it has promised me
That it will never visitDespair-domain.
```Alas, you are totally lost
Between your selfishness-mindAnd your selflessness-heart.
```The luminous and penetrating eyes
Of faithCan easily save a seeker
From doubt-destruction’s jaws. ```He who does not claim
God’s SatisfactionAs his ultimate goal
Will undoubtedly be a spiritual failure. ```Look carefully once more!
I am sure the peace-guestIs waiting for you
In the depths of your heart. ```You first have to open your accounts
At the aspiration and dedication-banksIf you ever hope to open your account
At the realisation-bank. ```The older the joy
Of the aspiration-heart,The younger the seeker-eyes look.
```Alas, my cheerful surrender
To God’s WillHad an unbelievably short life!
```If you are your mind’s resentment,
Then God will never be able to increaseYour heart’s oneness-receptivity.
```Can you not see
That your mind’s expectation-dreamsAre torturing your aspiration-life ruthlessly?
```True aspiration
Is bound to flyOn the fastest inspiration-wings.
```Be always ready
With your heart’s troopsTo fight against
The armies of doubt. ```My heart feels
That it is not necessaryTo keep its eye open
While walking along the path of faith. ```Do not allow your mind
Even for a fleeting secondTo be blinded by dark doubt-night.
```God’s unconditional Compassion-Mountain
Always remains infinitely higherThan man’s comprehension-mind-hill.
```Every day I must soulfully pray
To GodTo show me the sunset
Of my mind’s disobedience. ```Do you know why doubt
Appears ceaselessly?It appears because it wants
To threaten, weaken and finally dethroneYour mind-king.
```Whenever and wherever
My aspiration-heart travels,My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
Lights the way. ```Every morning shake hands first
With your happiness-satisfaction-friendLong before you enter into
Your daily life-activities. ```If you are
A sincere seeker and God-lover,Then every day you must devotedly
Sweep away your mind’s desire-dust. ```Unlike all our human friends,
God’s Compassion-EyeIs not a fair-weather friend.
```Our faith in God
Prescribes solutionsTo each and every problem
That our mind creates. ```Aspiration-acceptance
And desire-rejection:These two games must be played
Bravely and simultaneously. ```If you listen to your soul’s
Meditation-message,You can easily have a freer passage
To your life’s ultimate Destination. ```If you cherish your mind’s
Depression-night,How can God bless you
With His Heart’s Protection-Light? ```God always keeps His Heart-Lines open
For those who are destined to manifestHis Divinity’s Light on earth.
```Insecurity,
You are the main barrierI have to conquer
In order to make the fastest progressIn my conscious aspiration-life.
```Your hope-dreams have tremendous strength.
They will definitely be able to climbYour perfection-realisation-heights.
```Progress always runs
Towards a more illuminingAnd satisfying destination.
```God’s Compassion-Height
Always precedesGod’s Justice-Light.
```God-realisation means God-discovery,
And God-discovery is nothing other thanThe reclaiming of one’s own
Ancient God-roots. ```If you are an obedient soldier today,
Then tomorrow God will make youHis Cosmic Game’s perfection-captain.
```Do not cherish your mind’s
Sound-drum,But cherish your heart’s
Gratitude-silence-songs. ```Once you pass your heart’s
Faith-examination,God takes you to watch
His Splendour-Exhibition. ```I see no difference
Between a negative mindAnd a poisonous life.
```Have faith in God’s Compassion-Power.
This Power can liberate youFrom your centuries-old insecurity-heart.
```God’s Confidence-Light
Can live in meOnly when I exercise
My determination-might. ```If you can maintain your mind’s
Monumental indifferenceTo earthly demands and commands,
You are bound to succeed in your inner lifeFaster, infinitely faster,
Than you can ever imagine. ```God is always ready to remove
Bitter frustration from my mind,But my mind cleverly hides
From God’s Compassion-Protection-Eye. ```If your heart suffers
From purity-failure,Then it is also bound to fail
In achieving God-oneness-satisfaction. ```Run at full speed
To come out ofYour self-chosen ignorance-night.
Your Lord SupremeIs eagerly awaiting your arrival.
```May our human mind enjoy
The beauty of inspiration-lightAnd not the battle of opinion-night.
```If you are your searching mind,
And if you are your aspiring heart,Then your realising life
Cannot remain a far cry. ```God lovingly invites
Man’s happiness-heartTo come and blow
His Satisfaction-Whistle. ```My unconditional surrender-life
Has immensely augmentedMy heart’s God-visibility.
```My soul’s illumination-homeland
Is the ultimate goalOf my aspiration-heart.
```I fervently hope
Someday and somehowTo see my heart’s rising rainbow-sun.
```My soul’s lustre-radiance
Has always lived inMy Lord’s Nectar-Satisfaction-Heart.
```O my mind’s desire-tears
Although you do not fulfil GodAlas, to me you are
Very beautiful to look at. ```Only a confidence-heart
Can enlarge the mind’sKindness and concern-circles.
```O my mind,
Do not hide from my heartWhen giant doubt
Captures your life. ```A prosperous faith-smile
Can easily cureYour poisonous doubt-mind.
```Ultimately, a peaceful mind
And a happy heartWill be two inseparable friends.
```My self-giving heart
Immediately widensMy mind-horizons.
```Two most loving and devoted friends:
Aspiration and meditation.Aspiration helps meditation
Dive deeper than the deepest.Meditation helps aspiration
Rise higher than the highest. ```A God-warrior receives
His victory-garlandOnly after he has transformed
His attachment-mindInto a detachment-life.
```The moment an uncomely desire
Nears you,Just arrest it
With your soul’s lightAnd then keep it under your mind’s
Will-lock and key. ```Beautiful is your heart-home.
Now make it also fruitfulBy illumining it
With your soul’s divinity-light. ```Peace is the only one
That I can trustTo be my lifelong friend.
```Now that your mind is ready
To love God the creation,God the Creator will proudly help you
Reach His Delight-Heights. ```May there be no
Misunderstanding-bomb-explosionBetween my truth-searching mind
And my God-loving heart. ```When I pray,
I pray to touchThe Feet of God.
When I meditate,I meditate to become
The Heart of God. ```No, not even God the Compassion-Heart
Can liberate youIf you allow your mind
To enjoy thickening doubt-clouds. ```All the parades of the world
God has carefully watched.Now He wants to watch proudly
Only one parade:The parade of the peace-flooded
Oneness-world-family. ```My Lord Supreme,
I have a very special Christmas giftFor You.
My inspiration-mind,My aspiration-heart
And my dedication-lifeI am cheerfully and soulfully placing
At Your Protection-Perfection-Feet. ```If I soulfully long
For an illumination-mind,Then only will God grant me
His Protection-UmbrellaAnd His Satisfaction-Sun.
```Every day my heart’s aspiration
Helps me embark uponMy
God-discovery-satisfaction-expedition. ```Your life has become
A daily ordealBecause you please
Your pride-inundated mindAnd not
Your humility-blossomed oneness-heart. ```What you desperately need
Is firstYour long-lost aspiration-rediscovery
And thenYour life’s perfection-mastery.
```Into the world I came
To sit at God’s Compassion-FeetAnd serve Him sleeplessly.
This message from AboveIs crystal clear to me.
