Peace
Is man’s special onenessWith the Immortality
Of God’s Love. ```God always needs
The purity of our heartsTo run the world.
```I am so proud of you
For having finally said good-byeTo your wild impurity-past.
```You have no idea
How God cherishesYour heart’s
Snow-white hospitality. ```He who serves the world
Undoubtedly managesThe vast world.
```God I claim.
Therefore, my freedom-lifeI proclaim.
```Every morning
My heart weavesA gratitude-garland
For my Beloved Supreme. ```How will you succeed
In the battlefield of your lifeIf you do not subordinate
Your inordinate pride? ```Please inform God
That your heartWill never be indifferent
To God’s beautiful creation. ```God does not want you
To declare the independenceOf your mind’s life.
```When are you going
To see the worldFrom God’s point of view?
```Your faith is faltering.
ThereforeGod is disappearing.
```Peace-disturbers
Are frightening barkersWithout being dogs.
```Your gratitude-heart
Is a great tributeTo God’s Perfection-Promise.
```True, you have not
Seen your soul,But you have definitely
Felt your heart.Now listen to your heart!
```You need a soulful heart
To readGod’s beautiful Handwriting.
```Each blunder
Has the tremendous capacityTo tear man’s heart
Asunder. ```He knows nothing
About his optimistic heart.He only knows
About his pessimistic mind. ```If you nourish
Your inner purity,Your outer divinity
Will flourish. ```As long as my Beloved Supreme
Knows what I am going to be,I do not have to worry.
```There must be
A stronger powerThan my ceaseless stupidity.
```His matchless goal
Is to setA new aspiration-record
Every day. ```Every morning
My Beloved SupremeBreathes the prayer-perfume
Of my heart. ```One sweet purity-breath
Means the most beautiful roseIn your heart-garden
Is definitely blossoming. ```The loneliness
Of a desire-bound lifeIs more dangerous
Than a naked knife. ```The mind wants to become
A bold rival of God’s Head.The heart longs to become
A perfect instrument of God’s Feet. ```How can your life be satisfied
With small realitiesIf your heart has big dreams?
```At last he has recognised
That he has had enoughOf desire-meal.
```The heart’s obedience
Paves the wayFor the life’s perfection.
```There is only one thing faithful
In your lifeAnd that is your doubt-dog.
```Alas,
I do not knowWhen ignorance will become boring
To my mind. ```When the mind starts listening
To God,The loving heart starts dancing
For God. ```I call it my obedience,
But God calls itHis Pride in me.
```A God-lover is he
Who always feelsThat the best is yet to come.
```My open-heart policy:
PeaceAt any price.
```A genuine aspiration-heart
Can never missThe heaven-bound express.
```Purity is for those
Who desperately needGod the Beauty.
```Implore the world-Lord
TodayIf you want to explore His world
Tomorrow. ```If you provoke
God the man,How can you invoke
Man the God? ```Because you fear loneliness,
God’s Oneness-LovelinessAlways remains a far cry.
```You do not need anybody else
To repair your broken heart.That is God’s job,
And He will gladly do it for you. ```If you hesitate
To run forward,You will be lost
In the tunnel of the past. ```My Beloved Supreme
Still thinksThat my life needs a leash.
```There is always
A reserved seat for himIn God’s Satisfaction-Heart.
```I am ready to introduce you
To God’s Compassion-EyeBut not to His Satisfaction-Heart.
```God is ready,
But your mindIs still taking time
To be ready. ```To clean up your mind,
Warm up your heart first,For that is the correct way.
```There is no such thing
As inevitability.Therefore, I must always fight
To establish the divine within me. ```If you want to extinguish
Your desire-life,God will give you chance after chance
To achieve victory. ```How much proof
Do you really wantThat God does care for you
Unconditionally? ```God is ready
To sponsor you.Are you ready
To fight against ignorance-night? ```A faith-plant
Has the capacity to challengeA doubt-tree.
```If you keep your mind
God-oriented,Your life will not be frightened
By what it has done previously. ```Every act of a God-lover
Reminds himThat God alone
Is the sleepless Performer. ```Close your eyes
Not to imagine, but to feel,That God’s Compassion-Eye
Is playingInside your heart-garden.
```Only a sincere seeker
Knows that God’s HeartIs in his heart,
And nowhere else. ```He has stretched his empty hands
Towards Heaven.Therefore, God’s Pride in him
Has immensely increased. ```Since you have stopped praying
For the wrong things,The right things are automatically
Within your easy reach. ```Soulful poise
Means a powerful lifeEnergised by the heart.
```A genuine seeker
Will always have the capacityTo build a meditation-bridge
To Heaven. ```Each human being
Is temporarily, not permanently,Attached to this temptation-world.
```You have to rely
On God’s Promise firstBefore you rely
On your life of hope. ```A Smile from God today
Will illumineYour tomorrow’s doubt-life.
```God the Compassion
Is so powerful.Therefore
God the JusticeCannot approach me.
```Every day
Prepare yourself to fightAgainst ignorance-night.
OtherwiseYour life will be
An agonising frustration. ```The shortcomings
Of the attachment-lifeAre no match for the perfection
Of a detachment-heart. ```God loves you
To such an extentThat He even ignores
Your mind’s widespread suspicion-night. ```His prayerful life
Is the beautyOf his heart’s enlightenment-smile.
```A heart-ache
Can definitely be curedBy the soul-medicine.
```Rumours
Are quite often reluctantTo deliver good news.
```If you can live
In the nest of your soul-bird,You are bound to hear
God’s Clarion Call. ```If your heart has
Perfect poise,Then your life will have
Crowning confidence. ```Earth was laughing below,
Heaven was laughing aboveWhen he declared
That he could do without God. ```A life of doubt
Is nothing butThe doctrine of discouragement.
```God’s whispered Benediction
Has helped him reachThe pavilion of Heaven.
```Believe me,
Once upon a timeI, too, was a weak seeker
Like you,If not worse.
```If you deliberately live
In the jungle of the mind’s despair,God is not going to hire you
To take care of His Heart-Garden. ```He never thought
That GodCould ever be so important
In his life. ```My Lord Supreme,
Will there ever be a timeWhen I shall be able
To make You proud of me? ```An unguarded moment
Is the beginningOf life’s unmistakable death.
```When the mind stops talking,
The heart starts dreamingAnd life starts blossoming.
```A heart-champion
Cheerfully meetsThe teeming challenges
Of the desire-life. ```Each soulful thought
Is a direct representativeOf your perfect illumination-soul.
```To see the Compassion-Eye
Of God,What you need
Is an open heart-window. ```Even my soul admires
Your great long jumpFrom your mind
To your heart. ```The key
To a sky-meditationIs to become
A sea-aspiration. ```My inner surrender gives me
Instant relief.My outer smile gives me
Immediate belief. ```I cannot afford to have
One thing in my life:The sleep of lethargy.
```He himself does not know
Why he always so willingly surrendersTo his lower vital attacks.
```God does not want your aspiring heart
To be ruined.So since you have made your doubting mind
Your best friend,God has kept your aspiring heart
Inside His own. ```You fool!
You want to rely on yourself,Refusing God’s Satisfaction-Hunger
In you. ```Becoming a perfect instrument
Of GodIs so difficult
Because giving upIs so easy.
```Now that you have regained
Your old dependence on God,You are bound to become
Once more happy. ```God does not want
Your life to die.He wants your heart
To live for Him. ```You have seen so many times
That others have lostIn the battlefield of life
By thinking.Why, then, do you indulge
In thinking? ```Not the old heart of fear
But the new heart of courage onlyCan give God a warm welcome.
```To please God
I claim God the Creator.To please God
I do not blame God the creation. ```God has already arrived
To attend your mind’sGorgeous funeral.
```If you have
A sincere aspiration-heart,You cannot be struck
By desire-lightning. ```You do not have to know
Everything about everybody.You just have to know
One thing about one person:God’s Love for you
Is unconditional. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 55, Agni Press, 1984
