My Lord Supreme,
Your Forgiveness-EyeLights my way
To Your Perfection-Satisfaction-School. ```God has a very special plan for you.
He wants your heart’s sunshine-smileTo play with His Compassion-Eye
As often as possible. ```Division-mind-thoughts
Are the real enemiesOf the peace-blooming world.
```Your thought-world
Is the resultOf an action-fulfilled world
On another plane of consciousness. ```God has reserved
A special place for youIn Heaven
Because you are a solid memberOf His inner circle on earth.
```Do not squander
Your heart’s silence-joy.Your heart’s silence-joy
Is the only thingThat God likes to keep
As He continues on HisEternity’s Journey.
```The Sunshine-Smile
Of my Lord’s HeartFeeds my heart’s prayer-cry
Before I start my daily spiritual journey. ```These are the aspiration-flames
Of my life:Oh, where is God?
Oh, will I ever be ableTo see Him?
```Today I have danced
My final hesitation-heart-dance.Today I have danced
My final suspicion-mind-dance.Today I have danced
My final unwillingness-life-dance. ```When my Lord claims my heart
As His own,Out of sheer jealousy
My ego-dominated mindDisappears.
```To make God’s Happiness
A real and unmistakable reality,The God-seekers and God-lovers
Came into the world. ```Insecurity and anxiety-dance
Will not grow insideThe peaceful oneness-heart-garden.
```Not God-realisation,
But God-satisfaction,I sincerely consider every day
As my top priority in life. ```The more I can appreciate
The beauty, purity and divinityOf my earth’s faith-life,
The sooner I shall be ableTo enjoy the downfall
Of my doubtful mind. ```Nothing can disturb his mind.
ButNothing can inspire his mind,
Either! ```This world of ours
Is full of suffering.A heart of sympathy
Definitely lessens the pain. ```No one told me,
But from my personal experience I knowThat God will be happy
If we all give upOur earth-bound desire-life
And embrace Heaven-free aspiration-life. ```My Lord Supreme
Is telling meThat I need only
One more aspiration-morningBefore He blesses me
With realisation-day. ```What I call self-giving,
That very thingMy Lord tells me
Is His only way of living. ```To have a soulful thought
In the mindIs a supremely promising start.
```Instead of making
Your dedication-teamA challenging team,
Make it into a self-giving team. ```Whoever thought
My mind would sufferSuch an abrupt
And deplorable descentFrom its casual disobedience
To the inner light? ```If you cannot keep your mind
Continually occupiedWith good thoughts,
Then God-loving aspirationWill not be granted to you.
```Salutations to you,
O my inspiring mind!Salutations to you,
O my aspiring heart!Salutations to you,
O my sacrificing life!Salutations to you,
O my God-dreaming soul! ```To see God’s Vision-Eye
Is to enjoyInfinity’s freedom-delight.
```O my body,
O my vital,Why are you
So helplessly and hopelesslyIn love with my stupidity-mind?
```Each time
We have a good thought,Our mind comes closer
To the Light Divine. ```There is Someone
To change your inner life.There is Someone
To change your outer life.Just dive deep within
To see His Compassion-EyeAnd Forgiveness-Feet.
Indeed, He isYour Eternity’s Inner Pilot.
```He who is unconditionally surrendered
To God’s WillIs definitely special, very special,
In the Eyes of God. ```God says that He does
Many, many things for me,Which is true.
But He asks me every dayTo do only two things for Him:
To see Truth through His Eyes,And to feel peace through His Heart.
```If you are innocent and pure,
God will give you the opportunityTime and again
To learn the beauty and divinityOf His universal Reality.
```If you want a passport
To Heaven’s freedom-delight,Then immediately stop dancing and singing
With ignorance-night. ```In order to free himself
From the world’s sadness and madness,His heart longs for only one thing:
God-nearness. ```Sincerity in everything
Makes us readyFor our ultimate achievement:
God-realisation on earth. ```Each time a new divine thought
Enters into our mind,We are awakened to a new world
Of peace, light and bliss. ```Two solemn promises
I am now making:I shall transform my mind
Into a soulful prayer.I shall transform my life
Into a world-illumining meditation. ```Alas,
We are always readyTo surrender our very existence
To despondency-night.When are we going
To surrender our very existenceOnly to cheerfulness-light
And fulness-delight? ```The mind and the vital
Secretly comeInto my heart-garden
To sow the seedOf bitter discontent.
```O my heart,
Do not remain powerless.Be more receptive to my soul!
```Your fast-blossoming inner power
Will be able to convinceThe unaspiring mind
That God’s highest HeightIs not meant for it.
```My Lord Supreme,
I have wastedSo many precious years.
What will I do now?“My child,
Do not waste more timeThinking of your previous experiences.
Right from this momentThink only of your prayer-mind,
Aspiration-heart and dedication-life.” ```Because it is God’s Will,
We human beings,In spite of being mortal,
Can explore the universeOf God’s boundless Compassion-Heart.
```Cry sleeplessly
From the depths of your heart.Smile sleeplessly
From the height of your soul.These two messages we learn
From the Absolute Lord Supreme. ```I have been searching and searching
For Heaven’s inner treasure.God just tells me
To search for my own inner treasures:Sincerity-love,
Purity-devotionAnd divinity-realisation.
```If your life
Does not becomeA progress-tree,
You will be deniedAbiding satisfaction-joy.
```Only God-loving seekers
Are allowed to swimAt any time
In God’s infiniteCompassion-Delight-Ocean.
```O my mind,
You have the desire-cryTo be loved by the whole world.
Do you not have,Can you not have
Even a short-lived heart-cryFor your Lord Beloved Supreme?
```Every moment
God has a special taskTo perform:
He filters your dark desiresThrough His Illumination-Heart.
```Peace,
If it is really divine,Will definitely circulate
Inside the world-body. ```Heaven’s inner treasures are
Its unconditional concernFor mankind
And its unconditional longingFor humanity’s progress.
```Self-doubt and failure-fear
Live insideThe mind’s dark, tiny cave.
```If you have serious second thoughts
About your need to surrenderYour very existence to God,
Then you are definitely not readyTo accept the spiritual life.
```O my Lord,
Your Satisfaction-SunI see right before me.
My only prayer to You is this:Do make me the shadow
Of Your Satisfaction-Sun. ```Like anything else meaningful and fruitful,
You do not have to proveYour God-realisation to others.
```God and I look alike
Only whenMy entire earthly existence
Becomes an unconditional surrenderTo my Lord Supreme.
```There is only one fast way
To make progressAnd that way is to see
No darkness in the world,But only to see
Beauty, purity and divinityIn the world,
Of the world,And for the world.
```There is no such thing
As premature God-realisation.There is no such thing
As premature nature-perfection. ```Alas,
Why am I tryingTo take shelter
Inside my homeless mind? ```A purity-heart
Has the capacityTo sing and to fly
With ecstasy-wingsIn the firmament of Infinity.
```Eternal freedom
Is an unconditional boonFrom the Heaven-Summits.
```God does not have to
Challenge ignorance-nightFor His own Perfection.
It is for our perfectionThat He uses His Compassion
Sleeplessly. ```There is only
One thought in God’s Mind:How He can make His creation
Happy, illumining and fulfilling. ```My Lord,
I do not want YouTo suffer with me
In my mind’s wild forest.I want You
To be proud of meInside my life’s purity-heart-garden.
```Nothing short
Of my perfect perfectionWill ever satisfy God.
```God has forgotten to punish me.
But will I remember HimAs His Forgiveness-Heart?
```His doubtful mind,
His fearful mind,His ignorance-loving mind,
Finally has been washed awayBy his simple and sweet, crying heart.
```When I make
My unconditional surrenderTo God’s Will,
My Lord, in His infinitePride and Delight, tells me:
“My child,I shall start following you!”
```Do not wait
For something to happen.Nothing is going to happen for you
Unless you have turned your lifeInto a cry of your heart.
Once you have becomeYour crying heart,
You will get the smiling God. ```O my stupid mind,
You could have changed your lifeBefore you allowed yourself
To be caught red-handedIn ignorance-night.
```My Lord, may I know,
Even for a fleeting second,Your Divinity-Heart’s
Immortality-Secret? ```My mind is not satisfied
With my heart,No matter what my heart
Does for my mind.The heart’s oneness-life
The mind cannot appreciate.The mind wants only to remain
In its division-satisfaction. ```For the heart to make peace
With the mindTakes more than willingness.
It takes self-givingness! ```God’s Compassion-Touch
Is not mystical.It is normal, natural and inevitable.
Alas,Why are we ignorant of it?
```Call God your own!
Then God will teach youHow to call His Eternity’s
Vision-flooded creationYour own.
```First simplify your mind,
Then clarify your mind,Then purify your mind,
Then electrify your mind,Then beautify your mind.
That’s all! ```In your mind
There are many things.But in God’s Mind
There is only one thought:How He can have
Your surrender-heart of oneness. ```To cry unconditionally
Is to collectGod’s infinite inner Wealth.
To smile unconditionallyIs to spread
God’s infinite inner Wealth. ```Self-giving and pure happiness
Are always foundIn God’s vaster-than-the-vastest
Heart. ```If you do not worry
About God’s Will,Then how do you expect God
To be involved inYour desire-aspiration-necessity-life?
```Goodwill, goodwill, goodwill:
This is what each and every thoughtOf yours
Must embody! ```What am I doing?
I am training my body,Vital, mind and heart
To study in the sacred schoolOf my illumination-soul.
```The mind’s well-deserved punishment
God often, out of His infinite Compassion,Obliterates.
```Just cross through
The channel of confusion.You will see a new dawn
Awaiting your arrival. ```Unconsciously
You have chosenYour trouble-time.
But now consciouslyYou are longing for
Your freedom-time. ```When you get
Your victory-trophy from God,Be careful!
Your doubting mindCan snatch it away from you.
```God will not allow you
To mask your world-contemptForever.
You will soon be exposed! ```When I see the world
Through God’s Compassion-Eye,I see that
The total transformation of the worldIs not a far cry.
```Do not allow your aspiration-heart
To skip even one meditationIf you want to see
The rainbow-dawn of your God-realisationSooner than the soonest.
```From time to time
Along life’s road,Restlessness-monkeys do come
To torment us.But we must pay no attention to them.
We must walk fast, very fast,Along life’s road
To reach our supreme destination:Nature’s perfection.
```God has given your heart faith
So it can play the role of a policeman.God wants your heart-faith-policeman
To arrest your uncomely thoughtsImmediately.
```Life is too short
To enjoy powerful misunderstandingAnd nurse animal anger!
```Alas,
Finally I have realisedThat I am extremely overburdened
With my sleeplessly fault-finding mind. ```My willingness-heart,
God is extremely proud of you,God is extremely fond of you;
You are the choicest instrumentOf my Lord Supreme.
```This morning
An amazing discovery dawnedIn my aspiration-heart:
This world of unrestWill before long be flooded
With Infinity’s peace, light and delight. ```God wants
Each and every human beingTo feel
That His Satisfaction-Eye is for all. ```O my heart,
You are allowing your insecurityTo enjoy itself like anything today.
But rest assured,Tomorrow frustration-wolf
Will, without fail, devour you. ```Finally today
I have realised how shockingIs my faithful obedience-life
To my ugly desire-master. ```By striking you hard,
God does not get any pleasure.But He does expedite
Your self-discovery. ```Hurry up!
Hurry up!Your God-manifestation-train
Is faithfully waiting for you. ```My Lord Beloved Supreme,
I do not want to see any moreThe face of my aspiration-sunset.
Please, please allow meTo see once more
The heart of my aspiration-sunrise. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 155, Agni Press, 1991
