I have many things
To tell God,But He has only one thing
To tell me:He loves me unconditionally.
```Smile at the world,
Smile,If you want to reach Heaven
Peacefully. ```Morning prays to God
For the universal beauty.Evening prays to God
For the transcendental peace. ```Do not sleep.
Be careful!Man is coming
To knock at your mind’s door.Do not sleep.
Be ready!God is coming
To knock at your heart’s door. ```When you sing,
God attentively listens.But when God dances,
Where do you go?Why are you not available?
```You are lost
BetweenYour deceptive mind
And your receptive heart. ```Sleep,
If you want to beAt God’s Feet.
Wake up,
If you want to beIn God’s Heart.
```O my mind’s unreality,
You are the stark frustrationOf my heart.
```One solemn oath:
I shall goFar beyond
The domain of expectation! ```No crowding thoughts
Inside your mind.That means
A crowning lifeInside your heart.
```Purity
Is of paramount importanceTo climb
Earth’s Heavenward ladder. ```May the breath
Of spiritualityBecome my life’s
Only strength. ```Stay wherever you are
Soulfully.God’s Silence-Voice
Will illumine you. ```To me,
My hope-lifeIs not only sweet
But also perfect. ```God just wants me
To promise.He will take on the task
Of fulfilment. ```My heart’s beauty
Tells meThat my mind’s sincerity
Is its best friend. ```Ignorance-king,
You may continue loving me,But my love is only for
My heart’s Emperor supreme. ```God does not expect you
To tell Him anything.He only expects you
To learn and obey. ```God’s Vision
And His CompassionAre Eternity’s Twins.
```Although your mind knows,
Your mind does not believeThat suspicion is destruction.
```The mind’s meanness-drop
Will never be able to enter intoThe heart’s fulness-sea.
```No,
Never will an impurity-breathKnow
Divinity’s measureless length! ```I am useless
Not becauseI have no capacity,
But becauseI cherish my incapacity.
```God’s Justice-Light
May not spend Eternity with me,But His Compassion-Eye will.
```You have spoken ill
Of the world.Now you must gladden the world
With your self-giving lifeAs your compensation.
```Your purity-heart
Will try to perfect youIn the battlefield of life.
```Fear,
I never told youThat you are my Lord Sovereign,
Never! ```A true God-lover
Is the overcomerOf his mind’s teeming doubts.
```I need the smile
Of a hope-lifeThat enjoys perennial youth.
```An unpardonable temptation:
To manifest GodWithout being God-commissioned.
```You are your mind’s
Compound fracture-faith.Therefore, you are lost
In the desert of despair. ```God does not tell me
Who I am,But I do know
Who I am:I am God’s changeless Hope.
```You can manifest God.
Your heartCan easily do it for you.
```A purity-heart is
The overwhelming loveFor God.
```Do you remember
That once upon a timeYou used to listen to God
Sleeplessly and breathlessly? ```A life
Without a God-hungerIs indeed
A desire-furnace. ```My Lord,
I have a very special message for You:I shall make my mind see
That You are indispensable. ```How can I
Or why should IDefend you, O mind,
When you offend meSo often?
```Each doubting mind
KnowsWhat the inner war is.
```My Lord,
You may not fulfil my desires,But You can at least
Talk to me for a while. ```Who can ever prove
To meThat he is not needed
By God? ```Power-seekers
Are not allowedTo serve the Lord Supreme.
```If your heart’s aspiration
Cannot bring God closer,Then the next best thing will be
For you to raise your life to God. ```Oneness-love
Lives in a countryWhere everything
Is duty-free. ```Two little difficulties
Have to be surmounted:I shall have to realise God;
I shall have to manifest GodUnconditionally.
```A mind
Freed from suspicion-nightCan have the capacity
To lengthen the seeker’s life line. ```I will not ask God
To leave me!Why do you ask me
To perform that absurd miracle? ```To perfect yourself,
Sing with your heartAnd dance with your breath.
```My heart,
Your failures are mineBecause
You love me. ```A life of transformation
Is for all.Even your doubting mind
Is not doomed to die. ```He lives
Inside the fragmentsOf his completely lost
God-dreams. ```The human mind is aimless.
Therefore, it thinksEverything in the world
Is uncertain. ```It is not surprising
That the mind’s unwillingnessAnd the heart’s willingness
Always fight. ```His hope-smile
Is imprisonedIn his being’s core.
```God does not want
Your earth-lifeTo drown in nothingness.
```Why have you allowed
Your mindTo turn into
A tiny ant-thought? ```Unwept tears
Have unfathomableStrength.
```Each heart is destined
To reachPerfection-heights.
```Your mind speaks ill
Of God.Your own heart
Is the witness-eye. ```God does not see
Eye-to-eye with meWhen I say my perfection-pursuit
Is a hopeless case. ```If you are aimless,
You will live in the dustOf your futile future-life.
```God created peace
For my appreciationAnd my possession.
```God cherishes you.
He will not allow your lifeTo perish
Like a fleeting thought! ```Both memories of sadness
And memories of gladnessWant to appear again
And enjoy life again. ```The Breath of the Supreme
Is a veritable tapestryOf Silence-Delight.
```It is enough for you to know
Who God is.You do not have to know
Where God is. ```Absolute honesty
Is absolutely neededTo transform your desire-night
Into aspiration-day. ```I have known all along
That your mind will sooner or laterProve to be
Your life’s frustration-sigh! ```Now that you have opened
Your mind’s closed door,Many more doors
You will be able to openTo invite God
And His Compassion-Heart. ```My soulful satisfaction was restored
The moment I declared:“I love and need God,
Only God.” ```Christianity
Can never fail.It is only the fanatic Christ-seeker
Who will fail. ```O aspiration-world,
Choose me.I shall prove to you
That I am not a wrong choice. ```Pray,
So that youCan tell God
What you have been doing.Meditate,
So that GodCan effectively tell you
What you are supposed to do. ```You have been asked
By your mindNot to follow your heart.
Now pray to your illumination-soulTo silence your mind.
```My mind does not know
Where it is going.My heart does not know
Why it is crying.My life does not know
Why it is failing.But I do know
What I am doing.I am doing what I am inspired to do
From within. ```Jealousy and ecstasy:
They never lookAt each other’s face.
```My mind,
Is there anybody on earthWho can fail me
More often than you?No, never!
```God has completed His Task:
He has made meHis Vision-Smile.
Alas, my taskI have not yet begun:
I have not becomeMy aspiration-cry.
```Because you have
Miserably failed,God’s Compassion for you
Is in rapid increase. ```What is insincerity
If not man’sWeakness-incapacity?
```Why should the Lord Supreme
Love meWhen I myself do not care
For His Love? ```There is always a great joy
In looking forYour lost aspiration-cry.
```I must not make friends
With my mindIf I want to appreciate
And admireThe fragrance-beauty
Of my heart. ```The transformation of this world
Is meant forHis heart’s aspiration-cry.
```You must learn
How to swimIn the river of world-aspiration
And world-perfection. ```God asks you
Only for one favour:Not to try to remember
Your past failure-life. ```Be not
An unwilling mindWhich foolishly thinks
That everything is useless. ```His heart’s soulful songs
Are God’sBeautifully flying birds
In His eternally unhorizoned Sky. ```If your goal
Has no time limit,Then to me
It is not a goal. ```God is more than ready
To hideThe world’s untold calamities.
It is man who uncovers themAll the time.
```Any aspiration-key
Can openGod’s Satisfaction-Heart-Door.
```Humanity’s soulful cry
Is forA fruitfully illumining
Destination. ```The purity
Of the aspiration-heartAlways follows
The upward way. ```I still think
That God loves me.God still thinks
That I need Him. ```Satisfaction is to enjoy
A perfect consciousness-seatIn God’s Compassion-Heart.
```My ignorance-mind
Does not need God.But God’s Compassion-Heart
Tells me thatIt does need me.
```God is never going to tell you
How much He loves you.It is unquestionably up to you
To feel it. ```Always
A oneness-heartLightens the heavy load
Of human life. ```In my aspiration-room
The desire-life-fireIs not permitted.
```Climb, climb, climb!
Do you not seeThat every day
God is accompanyingYour heart’s climbing cry?
