When I tell God
That I am ready,He tells me
That this is the very beginningOf His Dream-fulfilment-dawn.
```My blossoming gratitude-heart
Can easily speakAny earth-language.
```May I become an ever-blossoming
Service-life, surrender-heartAnd perfection-cry.
```God tells me
That only my heart-inspired devotionCan reach His Compassion-Feet.
```My earth-bound desire-steps,
Finally I am taking leave of youFor good!
```The melody of God-Compassion
Has rescued my lifeTime and again
From imminent catastrophe. ```The ungrateful world
Will never applaudNo matter how high and deep
The inspiration and aspirationOf God-loving, God-serving seekers.
```My mind secretly appreciates,
Admires and even adoresAll the divine qualities
Of my aspiration-heart. ```Do you want to know
My new address?My new address is my Lord’s
Unconditional Compassion-Eye. ```O my heart,
Are you not tiredOf loving my strangling vital
And my sleeping body? ```O artificial
Love-devotion-surrender-seeker,Your dreams
Will never be transformedInto realities!
```My Lord tells me
That it is I,And nobody else,
Who have to smashMy mind’s chaos-cage.
```If I share
My heart’s confusion-kingdomWith humanity,
Then my Lord SupremeWill not grant me
His Himalayan Satisfaction-Smile. ```Forgetfulness was the way
I used to walk.Wakefulness is the way
I now walk.Willingness multiplied by surrender
Will be the wayI shall walk in the future.
```Do your work every day:
Write to God!God will definitely
Answer your letters,Provided you use your heart-language.
```No confusion-clouds of the mind
Can ever greetMy heart’s aspiration-dawn.
```My mind,
This is your last chance to choose:Either desire-life to cry
Or aspiration-life to fly. ```An unconditional surrender-heart
Is more preciousThan all my earthly cries
And Heavenly smiles. ```Today I have made my Lord Supreme
Extremely happyAnd extremely proud of me
By telling HimMine will be the life
Of non-stop serviceFrom now to Eternity.
```On principle
God wants to speak to usIn pin-drop silence.
But we force God to speak to us loudly,Especially when we become victims
Of suffering. ```Do you know what God’s
First morning thought is?He wants to see a soulful smile
From each and every human being. ```God-centred activities
Eventually blossomInto God-satisfaction-realities.
```Any student of silence
Will be taught by God HimselfGod’s manifestation-lesson on earth.
```A telex from Heaven
Has come today.God Himself has announced
My heart’s sleepless love for Him. ```My Lord, I do not want to be
A miracle-performer.I would like to be
A self-giving lover of GodInside the heart of humanity.
```Every day
I add my heart’s flower-fragranceTo my divinity-treasury.
```Even God’s infinite Compassion-Heart
Could not tolerate him any more.Therefore, God revoked
His doubt-licence. ```What God wants to see
In your eyesIs your heart’s purity-cry.
```The doubt-manufacturing mind
Is now out of businessBecause the aspiration-heart-garden
Is blooming very fast. ```Two different kinds of insecurity
Torture him:A fearful heart
And an impure mind. ```Do not be afraid
Of your mind’s ruthless division-sword.The sword will ultimately surrender
To your hero-warrior-heart. ```Your outer face
Is bound to showThe pace of your inner life.
```Alas, when will
Unwillingness-majority-mindsBe vehemently defeated
By willingness-minority-hearts? ```Eagerness is absolutely necessary
To speed up the seeker’sGod-manifestation-life.
```Every day you must succeed
In building up your soul’s strengthInside your heart-cries.
```Only a purity-heart
Knows how to jump into actionSpeedily and successfully.
```Every day the Lord Supreme
Is sending His genuine serversFrom Heaven to earth
On peace missions. ```One peace-dove every morning
Flies from my gratitude-heartTo my surrender-life.
```Open the inner
Receptivity-doorAnd close the outer
Insecurity-door. ```Today God is
Extremely proud of youBecause you have burnt your mind’s
Ignorance-built boat. ```Arrest, arrest
All your mind’s uncomelyAnd speeding thoughts
To become a supremely chosenInstrument of God.
```O God-lover,
You must not slow downBefore you reach
Your life’s completeTransformation-finish line.
```Only your heart’s
Unconditional surrenderCan and will help you
Anchor your life-boatIn peace-harbour.
```Is there any special thing
That You are looking for today,My Lord?
“My child,As usual, I am searching and searching
For your willingness-heart.” ```My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacityTo play on all
Peace-heart-instrumentsAvailable in the world.
```Every morning,
Before I wake up,My Beloved Lord Supreme blesses me
With His whispered Rainbow-Hopes. ```Every morning I invite
My earthly and Heavenly friendsTo come and have breakfast with me.
My celestial friendsCome and eat with me,
And deeply appreciate my generosity-heart.My earthly friends
Do not accept my invitation. ```O my aspiration-friend,
Your goal is God-realisation.Do not settle for
A lesser realisation! ```Inner freedom
Is the only doorwayTo outer satisfaction.
```Instead of creating a reason
Why you cannot love the world,Try to create a reason
Why you should and mustLove the world.
```To keep your life God-centred,
You do not have to valueThe proud opinion of the world.
```Your implicit faith in God
Should be your only guidebookFor your skyward journey.
```He who loves God
In his outer life of dedicationHas already been loved
By GodIn his inner life of aspiration.
```Every day I have made it a point
To practise soulfullyThe inner law of self-giving.
```Only our oneness-heart can be chosen
To be the custodianOf our peace of mind.
```The silence-smile
Of your God-directed lifeCan easily ignore the thunder
Of your unleashed mind. ```God’s smiling Eyes,
God’s loving HeartAnd God’s self-giving Life
Are your immediate neighbours. ```The first note of my heart’s soulful song
Starts with God-invocation,And the last note ends
With God-manifestation. ```When the supreme Hour dawns,
God Himself will give youThe capacity
To be equal to the taskOf God-realisation.
```Your love-devotion-surrender-qualities
Are so precious.How is it that you have allowed them
To be frightened by your mind’sIgnorance-night-thunderstorm?
```God’s Compassion-Fondness-children
Are thoseWhose hearts are made of
Sweetness-fragrance-flowers. ```O self-criticism-arrows,
No more do I need youOr your company.
We are parting for good. ```The inner battle
Will definitely endThe day I turn my entire life
Into a God-surrendered song. ```My mind, can you not see
That you are helplessly lostIn your own self-created
Doubt-wilderness? ```O my mind,
Stop thinking of yourEarth-born ideas.
Can you not see thatYou have reached a dead end?
```God wants me to join Him
While He is singingThe world-transformation-song
Inside my heart’s silence-temple. ```Be wise!
Instead of wrestlingWith the reasoning mind,
Just remain faithfulTo your God-loving heart.
```God asks me to take
A seven-minute prayer-testIn the morning
And a seven-minute meditation-testIn the evening.
```Compromise is no solution
To eternal problems.All problems can be solved
By the enlargement of our oneness-heart. ```God wants to be your partner
Only when you are willing to singAbout God the universal Beauty
And God the transcendental Purity. ```God’s Mind
Is very carefully watchingYour steps.
God’s HeartIs compassionately waiting
For you,And for you alone.
```I take each good thought
As a shrineInside my heart’s
Sacred silence-temple. ```Self-giving
Is truth-learning.Truth-learning
Is God-finding. ```Truth that we speak of
Comes from God’s Eye.Truth that we become
Comes from God’s Heart. ```God gives us always another chance.
This other chance will definitelySave us and liberate us.
```God enriches us
With countless Blessings daily.If we can count only a few
And devotedly use them,Ours will be a life
Of measureless satisfaction. ```Poor God cries in silence
When He seesThat we are turning a deaf ear
To His Opportunity-Knocking. ```I am so surprised to learn
That God-obedienceIs such a sweet and simple thing!
```How can we appease God
With our imagined or self-inflicted pain?Impossible!
```Both in the inner world
And in the outer worldI am noticing only two things:
God’s Justice-Light shortageAnd Compassion-Height surplus.
```When I write love-letters
To God,He becomes happy with me.
When I write devotion-letters
To God,He becomes proud of me.
When I write surrender-letters
To God,He invites me to come and visit
His celestial Palace.When I write gratitude-letters
To God,He tells me to come and stay
At His celestial Palace permanently. ```If you wait and watch,
You will definitely seeA rush on the God-journey-road.
Therefore, start aspiring now,Immediately.
```You want me to tell you what to do?
Just descendInto your mind’s insecurity-cave
With your heart’s effulgent light. ```My Lord,
Like Your Compassion-Flood,May my gratitude-drop
Never be out of season. ```Alas!
I never realisedThat protecting me from myself
Would be such an ordeal. ```Cherish not your doubting mind.
You will be forced to liveIn ignorance-prison.
```God wants each and every sincere seeker
To enter into His Heart-PalaceThrough the front door,
Since there is no other entrance. ```My seeker friend,
You can fool me,You can fool others,
But you cannot fool GodWith your wild inner insolence
And clever outer humility. ```This morning I dreamt of God.
When I told Him about my dream,He said to me
That He had had the same DreamLast night.
```O my heart’s aspiration-army,
Can you not see thatYou are under attack?
Can you not fight againstYour stark foes?
Can you not conquer themIn the Name of
Your Lord Beloved Supreme? ```Until you can align yourself
With God the Justice-Light,You will not be able to prove
To the worldYour own divine worth.
```If you desperately need God,
Then force your ignorance-dreamsTo be shorter than the shortest.
```Silence does not have to shout
To prove its authenticity,For silence is always supported
By the Absolute Lord Supreme. ```The Sweetness-Smiles
Of my Lord SupremeI treasure more than anything else.
```To break down the mind’s
Ego-wall,Use your heart’s
Oneness-illumination-smile. ```My Lord Supreme,
In my inner lifeI constantly feel Your Presence.
Why is it that in my outer lifeI am doomed to helplessness?
```When I have the spiritual
Power-failure-experience,I laugh and laugh.
When I have the spiritualPower-success-experience,
I become my gratitude-heartWith tearful eyes.
```If you are determined to run every day
An unfaltering life-race,Then soulfully multiply
Your heart’s mounting flames. ```My soul’s smile and my heart’s cry
Together sail in the seaOf God’s infinite Compassion.
```Each Compassion-flooded day
Is a most powerful BlessingFrom the Lord Supreme.
Let us not squander this Blessing. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 146, Agni Press, 1991
