My heart’s eagerness-power
Brings meMy life’s victory-crown.
```O my soul,
Do remove my life’sHeaviness-despair!
```God tells me that
My heart’s enthusiasm-rolePleases Him most.
```My Lord Supreme,
Do save me, save me, save me!Save my life, save my life
From success-traps! ```If I do not aspire
More soulfully,More cheerfully
And more self-givingly,Then my lethargy-disease
Will remain incurable. ```O my mind-dictator,
Look, look!My heart-liberator
Is fast approaching me. ```I am absolutely sure
That I have been chosenBy my Lord Beloved Supreme
To do something very special for Him. ```Self-advertisement
Is the worst kind of investmentIn my life’s perfection-dream.
```My Lord Supreme,
I am never afraidOf my failure-burden,
But I am terribly afraidOf Your Displeasure-Eye.
```I start each day
With my heart’s morning beauty,And I end each day
With my soul’s evening fragrance. ```Only my heart’s silence-smile
Is invited by my Lord SupremeTo strike His Victory-Gong.
```Every morning
My soul’s silence-lightUnconditionally feeds
My heart’s mounting faith-flames. ```Centuries pass by
Before God’s golden DreamsBecome man’s silver realities.
```Eternally beautiful
Is my God-realisation-smile.Infinitely fruitful
Is my God-manifestation-cry. ```Every day
My Lord Supreme blesses meWith His Compassion-Smile,
So that I will make a monumental attemptTo go beyond
My daily frustration-horizon. ```A pure humility-heart
Is indeedA sure God-intoxication-life.
```God Himself
Is lengthening your progress-stridesBecause you are cheerfully welcoming
Each and every new God-seeker. ```God does not care for you:
This is your giantMental hallucination!
```Immortality is beckoning you
Because you are sleeplessly singingThe oneness-song
Inside God’s Heart-Garden. ```Aspiration-lovers
And determination-warriorsAre bound to win,
Bound to winThe supreme victory for God
In the battlefield of lifeHere on earth.
```Without Eternity’s direct,
Secret and sacred help,Nobody has the chance to become
A supremely choice instrument of God. ```My Lord Supreme tells me
That He wants to liveOnly inside my heart’s
Silence-fragrance-blossoms. ```There is always a long distance
Between my mind’s loud voiceAnd my heart’s hallowed
God-fulfilment-choice. ```You chose yourself
FoolishlyOnly to lose God
Miserably. ```An unconditional God-lover
Never wants to beOff-duty.
```Perfection-choice
Is the very beginningOf a God-satisfying life.
```My morning promise to God
Is that I shall never measureBut only treasure
His Compassion-Light. ```Since the very beginning of creation
There has always beenA most deplorable shortage of
Compassion-eyes, forgiveness-heartsAnd gratitude-lives.
```How can you become
An aspiration-specialistIf you do not have
A gratitude-heartAnd a surrender-life?
```Nobody told me,
But I definitely knowThat my purity-heart’s gratitude-life
Is the only short-cutTo my God-realisation.
```What can a God-Smile do?
A God-Smile can glorifyThe human in me
And manifest the divine in me. ```Unlike us,
God’s Heart does not believe in“Do not disturb” signs.
```My enthusiasm-heart
Quickly and unmistakably sowsPerfection-satisfaction-seeds.
```Each human being
Is a fulfilment-blossomingHope-dream-promise of God.
```I love to live
Either inside my heart’s hunger-cryOr inside my soul’s feast-smile.
```At every moment
God wants usTo smile at Him outwardly
And cry for Him inwardly. ```Every day
My Lord Supreme proudly playsWith my mind-ball —
Simplicity,And my heart-ball —
Purity. ```God sleeplessly treasures
The purity-smileOf my heart
And the gratitude-cryOf my life.
```Expect many changes,
Especially in your inner life,If you want to make progress
Faster than the fastest. ```Even an iota
Of love-peace and oneness-powerFrom God
Can save not only today’s fearful worldBut also tomorrow’s doubtful world.
```My Lord, my Lord, my Lord,
I came into the worldTo make You happy.
At the end of my journey’s close,You will take me back into Yourself
To make me happy. ```My heart,
I am so proud of you —That you can see God
Even when He is far away.My mind,
I am so ashamed of you —That you cannot see God
Even when He is right in front of you. ```My Lord’s Whisper-Voice
Is my life’sOnly illumination-perfection-choice.
```My heart lovingly
And gratefullyClaims the world.
My mind constantlyAnd endlessly
Blames the world. ```Every day
God blessingfully offers a messageTo each and every earth-dweller:
Self-giving. ```A seeker’s heart
Is a rainbow-hopeAnd a seeker’s life
Is a sun-vast promise. ```I am illumining
My life’s ignorance-nightWith my soul-eternity’s
Silence-light. ```Alas, today despair-tears
Have blinded not only my heartBut also my entire earth-existence.
```Alas,
When am I going to stop usingMy criticism-microscope
To observe others’ dwarf-flaws? ```Only a self-giving soul
Can sing the songsOf world-peace-dreams.
```At last,
Today for the first time,God and I are dreaming of singing
Our oneness-heart-song. ```My Lord,
I cannot imagine why You careFor my countless imperfections.
“My child,I cannot imagine how you can live
Without My Heart’s Satisfaction-Smile.” ```Extremely sweet
Is my surrender-heart.Exceedingly beautiful
Is my gratitude-life. ```Each soulful meditation
Has the capacity to show meWhere God is hiding.
```God enjoys
His mightiest FreedomOnly in my heart’s
Silence-inundated kingdom. ```I have decided
That I shall never touchThe foreign shore
Of insecurity-timidity. ```Self-doubt-poison
Is infinitely more dangerousAnd more destructive
Than you can ever imagine! ```My soul does not need
Any interpreterWhen it speaks to my heart.
But my soul badly needsAn interpreter
When it wants to speak to my mind. ```May each and every human being
Grow into an immortalOneness-peace-heart.
```The spirituality-road
Is an uncertainty-roadOnly for those who do not listen
To the soulful whispersOf their blessingful soul.
```Good-bye, good-bye,
My old ignorance-friend!My Heavenward illumination-journey
Begins today, here and now. ```Eternal aspiration-lovers
And infinite manifestation-heroesAre unquestionably first-class instruments
Of the Supreme. ```Shatter, shatter
Your mind’s insecurity-cage.Come out, come out
Of your heart’s impurity-cave. ```Attachment-cries
Are forced by God HimselfTo swim in frustration-seas.
```Sincerity and purity
Are absolutely necessaryTo explore the heart-land.
```My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And my own gratitude-breathComplete each other.
```Man does not want
To change.But poor God is always ready
To change HimselfTo create a new world
Of soulful peace and fruitful delight. ```O seeker,
Do not be a fool!Do not stand before the open arms
Of attachment-darkness. ```My Lord Supreme,
Your Compassion-EyeFar surpasses everybody and everything.
Because of it I can still liveIn my heart-home.
```My surrender-heart
Will be crowned by God HimselfExactly the way a rainbow
Crowns the earth. ```Gratefully
My earth-bound lifeMust cry.
SoulfullyMy Heaven-free heart
Must fly. ```Even when the world sees
Illumination-bloom in your eyes,It may not recognise you
As its pathfinder. ```Precious are peace-moments
In my inner life.Prosperous are peace-hours
In my outer life. ```The self-indulgence-marathon
Of a human beingIs bound to reach its
Destruction-destinationEventually.
```My heart accepts everything.
My mind expects everything.My vital rejects everything.
My body neglects everything. ```My mind,
Are you not aware of the factThat you have been roaming
In expectation-frustration-countryFor a very long time?
```In my aspiration-determination-surrender
To God’s WillI see the blossoming of
My life’s perfection. ```When I still my mind,
I fulfil my first promiseTo God.
```My life’s soulful satisfaction-song
Is the only songThat God is never tired of hearing.
```O seeker,
Never allow your doubting mindTo climb up your heart’s
Meditation-mountain! ```My Lord’s Manifestation-Dream-Song
Is the only songThat I love to sing
Every morning and every evening. ```A purity-heart
And a humility-mindWill discover God everywhere.
```Be patient!
Go slowly, steadily and unerringly.You do not have to worry.
God is not in a hurry. ```To treasure loneliness
In order to make fast progressIn the spiritual life
Is utterly absurd. ```Long for dynamism!
Your soul will bless youWith a depression-shattering smile.
```A life of humility
Is the easiest and most effective wayTo spread God’s Light
On earth. ```My soul and my heart
Are beggingMy mind, vital and body
To ride on aspiration-wingsIn the small hours of the morning.
```O seeker,
Your doubtful mindIs nothing other than
Confusion-destruction-storm. ```Alas,
Neither my heart’s aspiration-clockNor my life’s dedication-clock
Is keeping proper time. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Wants to purify me.God’s Forgiveness-Heart
Wants to immortalise me. ```If you miss your heart’s
Hope-boat,Then how will you reach your life’s
Promise-destination? ```What I need
Is a pure heart of newness.What I need
Is a sure life of fulness. ```O my lethargy-body,
You rightly deserve a death-sentenceFrom my Lord Supreme!
```Do you want to do God
A big favour?Then force yourself
To give up self-importance. ```O my mind,
Do not allow yourselfTo remain in hesitation-maze
If you want to becomeA worthy instrument of God.
```It is not possible
For the mechanical lifeOf the mind
To care for the heart’sPerfection-promotion.
```My sleepless faith-heart
Is my peerlessConfidence-life-builder.
```God was waiting,
God is waitingAnd God will always wait
For my life’sPerfection-satisfaction-sunrise.
```Is there any human being on earth
Who has never sufferedFrom expectation-headache?
```My joy knows no bounds
Because today, for a change,I am thinking of God only,
I am meditating on God onlyAnd I am depending on God only.
