In all my joys and sorrows
I see the Compassion-EyeOf my Beloved Supreme.
```If you sincerely and desperately
Need God,Then God will send
His private Satisfaction-PlaneTo fly you to Heaven.
```O my blind mind,
Do learn the art of hiding.Try, you will succeed!
```God does not mind
When you speak ill of Him.Therefore, why do you waste
Your precious time? ```I have received
A last warning from God.He is not going to wait for me
Any more. ```The blind world
Wants to enjoyThe chaotic dance
Of destruction-war. ```Responsibility itself
Is a rich rewardFrom Heaven.
```If the pilot
Does not value the goal,Then how can the passengers
Value the goal? ```God the Justice
Has a Teacher:God the Compassion.
```Love your goal!
AutomaticallyYou will make progress.
```God’s Diary
Is full of seekers’Heart-to-heart conversations
With God. ```Man’s depression
Challenges God’s CompassionEvery day.
```I cannot satisfy myself,
My Lord.Do You think You can accomplish
This impossible taskFor me?
```Although you are quite honest,
You enjoyDishonest gossip-surges.
```Every night
He derives tremendous pleasureFrom his dream-indulgences.
```O vital world,
My soul can brave you,With your blazing fire.
```An unconditional surrender
Is the safest and quickest pathThat leads to God.
```My sweet Lord,
I am not livingBut only remembering
All the joysThat You have given to me.
```The courage that aspires
Is life’sMatchless friend.
```Today
I shall challenge the boundsOf my mind’s teeming thoughts.
```A God-lover enjoys
The silver silenceOf the fathomless sun.
```His is the capacity
That findsEven before it starts searching.
```Inside my God-searching mind
The visits of thoughtsAre prohibited.
```Every day
His heart suffersFrom the sudden approaches
Of uncertain hopes. ```Everything else
Has left himExcept his mind’s
Unlit thoughts. ```Each desire-life
Is a lifeOf a million despairs.
```His silver thoughts
Are mountainsOf climbing flames.
```My imagination can house
The Omnipresence-EyeOf God.
```Complete the cosmic game
You began.There is an unspeakable joy
In completion. ```Unconsciously I play
With ignorance-night,But consciously I dance
With wisdom-sun. ```The mind abruptly
Begins.It deliberately forgets
To complete. ```Darkness
He compassionately accepts.Light
He unconditionally offers. ```He does the impossible!
He turns doubt-treesInto faith-plants.
```He is his life’s
Everest-promiseTo God.
```You have not yet reached
The evening of your life.Why do you want to settle
Your earth-bills now? ```The human mind
Does not go anywhere alone.It carries with it
Deception-knife! ```Even if you do not have
The aspiration-ticket,God does not mind.
Just enterInto His life-transforming
Express Train! ```Nothing unimportant,
Nothing insignificant.So says the Supreme Pilot
Of man’s heart-boat. ```Never permit
Your heart’s streaming tearsTo evaporate.
Never! ```When will your stupid mind’s
Total eclipseBe over?
When? ```At every moment he grows
Into his heart’sOlympian hopes.
```Blessingfully and compassionately,
God gives everythingTo a patience-life.
```What your doubting mind
NeedsIs my Lord’s
Thunder-Feet. ```Every day
His soul discoversNew beauties of the Unknowable.
```My heart is all pride
In your ever-transcendingSelf-transcendence.
```Your enjoyment of liberty
In your outer lifeIs most dangerous.
```His heart is pining
To drawA soulful and peaceful
Last breath. ```Time comes and goes,
But can you notLive with me forever,
My aspiration-heart? ```The eye of compassion
AndThe heart of ecstasy
Live together. ```Today
My mind has a new messageFor my Lord Supreme:
“I shall believe in You.” ```The heart enslaves itself
For the perfection-preparationOf the mind.
```The songs
Of my tomorrow’s heartAre melting
My today’s mind. ```Only a purity-heart
Can adoreDivinity’s immortal Songs.
```My mind
Does not care to knowWhether my heart
Is a God-loverOr a self-lover.
```A heart
Filled with delightIs his life’s
Legitimate claim. ```What the heart attains
With utmost difficultyThe mind loses
In no time. ```At death’s gate,
A new life cameAnd embraced him.
```My mind has not forgotten the path,
But the pathWants nothing to do with
My long-cherished ignorance-mind. ```My heart does not know
How to smile.God’s Eye does not know
How to cry.We are even.
```Behind my hidden tears
God is preparing HimselfFor a new dawn.
```To stand face to face
With God,What you consciously need
Is your soul’sUniversal oneness-life.
```If you think golden thoughts,
You are bound to seePurity’s perfection-garden
Inside your heart. ```O my aspiration-heart,
You have made my lifeAn ever-transcending surprise.
```The seeker’s
Gratitude-heart-nestIs his perfection-readiness
For God. ```If you are
Your indomitable fear of death,How can you pierce
Your ignorance-blanket? ```My Lord,
Do teach me only one thing:How to love the world
The way You love me. ```His life
Is no longer marredBy impurity’s giant touch.
```No more am I
A muddled mind.I am now my heart’s
Clarity-eye. ```Every day
My Lord forbids meTo sing my life’s
Failure-songs. ```True, with all your imperfections
God loves you.But how can you dare
To love yourself? ```God hates to answer
Humanity’sDepression-phone calls.
```If you think
That you are perfect,Then that kind of perfection
Is something the poor worldWill never need.
```Although his mind is wanting
In illumination,He permits not ignorance-hippopotamus
To stay in it. ```Since you are not totally blind
In your inner life,Why can you not see
That you are wallowingIn your vital-morass?
```Never say yes
To doubt’sImpurity-breath.
```Speed up the journey
Of your heart’s aspiration-life.Endless feasts
Are awaiting its arrival. ```A doubtful inner runner
Quite often shakes handsWith his failure-life.
```A God-lover never thinks
That his Beloved SupremeIs his Lord Sovereign.
```The desire life
Is forced to suffer fromThe supremacy of fears
And weaknesses. ```Remain with
Wisdom-illumination-friend.Do not return to
Ignorance-darkness-foe. ```Often
Hope-dream-seedsGrow into
Reality’s frustration-fruits. ```The mind
Quite easily deserts us.But for us to desert the mind
Is not an easy task. ```You think
You are the only oneTo be tired of this world.
You do not knowThat everybody tells the same story.
```To conquer doubt
Is to captureA ferocious tiger’s
Devouring mouth. ```Every day
Heaven orders a sampleOf humanity’s pure sweetness.
```Nothing is important,
ThereforeNothing is needed,
Says the stupid,Indulgent man.
```The aspiration-heart
Began.The dedication-life
Has to complete. ```The fruitlessness-yoke of time
Cannot be appreciated.The heaviness-yoke of time
Cannot be lifted. ```The breath of hope
Lives onThe Satisfaction-Smile
Of God. ```Only the inner breath
Of aspiration-fireCan save and illumine
The body of your outer life. ```Because you have surrendered
To the insecurity-life,Your heart’s sweetness
Is all gone. ```The beauty
Of his selfless lifeDances
In his soulful eyes. ```God does not want to know
What I think of Him.He just wants to see
What I have doneFor His creation.
```My mind wants me
To be great.My heart wants me
To be good.And I want to be
God’s God-loving and God-pleasingSlave.
```Silence
Touches the purity-breathOf my new life’s dawn.
```Because he allowed his vital
To liveIn the company of pride-prince,
His soul’s lofty promise-towersAre now lying
In the dust. ```His heart longs
Only for the satisfactionOf the Unknowable.
```The power of renunciation-light
Has given me the capacityTo give up my hunger
For world-possession. ```His doubting mind
May accept defeat,But his aspiring heart
Never accepts defeat. ```Enjoy, enjoy
The inner thirstThat forever remains
Unquenched. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 81, Agni Press, 1984
