Every day
My faith-heartBrings into my life
A new messageFrom the Beyond.
```The human heart
Has completely forgottenIts origin:
The universal oneness-life. ```A choice instrument
Is but oneAmong the innumerable
Chosen by God. ```Every day
His heart dons a new robeOf aspiration
To please his Beloved Supreme. ```If you do not throw cold water
On your aspiration-heart,You will never become old.
```To silence enthusiasm
At any timeIs absolutely wrong.
```Because yours
Is a God-inspired life,You can love big and small
Equally. ```“I do not need you.”
A song that nobodyWants to hear!
```His self-giving face
Is his ego’sSecret frown.
```If your heart wants to land
On the shore of delight,Then your mind must say good-bye
To the shore of thought. ```Every day
A God-lover can enjoyThe gratitude-fragrance
Of his calm meditation. ```Love only
The divine in yourself.You will be able to snap
Your attachment-links. ```O silence-moon,
I need your beauty’s heartAnd your purity’s eye.
```The mind’s willingness
Is the beginningOf the heart’s fulness.
```Your mind needs punctuality
In your heart’sRegularity-life.
```Alas,
My eyes are torturedBy both ancient and modern fears.
```All hidden gates
Shall be unlocked.Just soulfully await the arrival
Of your Beloved Supreme. ```In your heart’s
Tranquillity-recesses,God will ring
His Victory-Bell. ```The timeless Will
Embraces orphan-thoughtsFor their complete transformation.
```The strength of self-transcendence
Comes from the heart’sSilver faith.
```Each human incarnation
Is the continuationOf God’s unfinished Story.
```The heart’s silver questions
Shall meet withThe soul’s golden answers.
```Every day earth sinks down
With sadness-weight.God knows it.
Man does not. ```Never allow anyone
To clip the silver wingsOf your golden dreams.
```Happiness was born
When I clearly told my mindThat the world does not need it.
```His heart helps my heart
Freely,Plus ceaselessly
And unconditionally. ```Unattainable realms
I shall reachBy virtue of
My lovable heart. ```In your simple heart
My complication-mindWants to sleep.
```You live in the shadow
Of your doubt-mountain,Yet you expect from God
His Infinity’s Heart-Delight. ```His Heart’s Compassion deep
I squander,Yet, alas, I feel
No remorse. ```On the mountain peaks of ecstasy
Climb upBefore the ignorance-titan
Catches you to strangle you. ```To fill your heart
With magic-delight:This has to be
Your newly born longing. ```Clasping the length and breadth
Of the universe,He remembers his oneness
And fulness-promises. ```In the calm heart of vastness-sky
Will my heart ever be stationed?Will I ever be so fortunate?
```The Starter of all things
Is fond of both the winnerAnd the loser.
```Drink deep the soul’s delight
And your heart will beGod’s choice Home.
```Dancing in the heart
Of the Unknowable,He came down to share
Humanity’s throes. ```Each God-loving soul
Is destined to beAn ocean of self-giving life.
```You must have measured
The untold difficultiesLong before you longed for
Your nature’s transformation. ```This stupendously blind world
Never puts an endTo its wild journey.
```Without You,
Who can breathe?With You,
Who can even imagine failure? ```Look up, look up!
His Cry is in you.His Smile is for you.
```His inner light revealed
His outer life’sSincere self-giving.
```I offer my smile to him
Who thinks my soul has somethingFor God
And my life has somethingFor man.
```The world will frown
At your pride.You will be found
In oblivion’s hush. ```Your heart
Is like a blossoming tree.Therefore
I come to youFor your blessing-smile.
```To close your heart’s
Morning eyeIs to reach folly’s
Goalless heights. ```The unchallenged secret
Will surrenderTo the heart’s sleepless cry.
```What is your secret?
Why is earthSo proud of you?
Why is HeavenSo fond of you?
```Keep your pride
For yourself,Since nobody
Has any use for it. ```Here cries
The unborn hope.There cries
The unfulfilled promise. ```Life’s play
Is not monstrous.Just try to play
More carefullyAnd more soulfully.
```In him is the beauty
Of God’sEver-changing Reality-Forms.
```He walks along the way
Of self-preparationAnd God-manifestation.
```How can you get anything
From GodWhen you have given nothing
To His choice child,Creation?
```I do not expect thanks,
I do not even expect any comment,But I do expect
A world of silenceWhen I sing God-songs.
```All have come
One by oneTo tell me
That God wants to see meAs another God.
```I was invited
To sing the songOf the Unknowable,
And I am enjoying doing it. ```Because your life
Is secure,God wants you to advance
Fast, very fast. ```My aspiration-heart
Is exceedingly and permanently happyIn your oneness-song.
```Life’s errors do not know
That they can beAt times
Unforgivable. ```He who salutes death-king
Is not liked by deathFor more than a short time.
```The blue-gold smiles
Of HeavenI dare to imagine
Every day. ```To greet the rising sun-god
What you needIs a heart of orphan-cry.
```The sadness of the night
Will definitely be blessedBy the gladness of the day.
```Death’s thunder-eye
Is a thing to be challengedAnd conquered.
```Tomorrow
When I am goneThe world will blame me
For the thingsI have never dreamt of doing.
```A doubting mind
Fails to singGod’s God-Song of Joy
With the heart. ```It is never too late
In your God-discoveryTo recharge the battery
Of your aspiration. ```Confidence-plants grow
To show the worldThe capacity
Of the higher worlds. ```The mind’s hustle and bustle-life
Even disappointsGod the All-Knower.
```Because of your
Impurity-mind,Even your heart is stained
With ingratitude-mud and clay. ```Delete from your conscious
And unconscious memoryThe pangs of your past
Failure-life. ```The soulfulness
In his heartIs the fulness
Of his life. ```Today you are a sleeper.
TomorrowYou will not only be
Awakened,But an earth-awakener.
```Run not after miracles!
All miraclesAre shockingly fragile.
```Darkness-mouths
Desire to devourThe hearts of light.
```The human mind
Is apt to be armedWith illusions and delusions.
```He who does not
Consciously aspireLives in the empire
Of nothingness. ```It is not uncommon
For the desire-mindTo be entangled
In the meshes of ignorance-night. ```Shake off,
Shake off the fettersOf the seven lower worlds!
```God will not allow your mind
To destroyThe beauty of your heart’s
Vision-eye. ```Let your entire being know
The beauty and divinityOf aspiration-flames.
```A seeker
Can every day enjoyClear views
Of golden horizons. ```Do you not see
That your ignorance-lifeIs costing you enormously?
```O my vital,
Why do you wantA life of fiery competition?
```Death is not
And can never beLife’s final examination!
```Self-dedication
Is the quickest wayTo release oneself
From old habits. ```O my mind,
Every day try to swimIn the heart of God’s
Compassion-Sea. ```With his soul
His heart is ready to sailTo the shores
Of the Unknowable. ```A tiny teardrop
Is destined to make friendsWith the mighty Delight-Oceans.
```Your restless ignorance-mind
Does not knowThat your heart daily swims
In the sea of tranquillity. ```To fight
Against ignorance-princeIs not such a difficult thing.
```Every morning
God joins himIn his self-transcendent
Trance-dance. ```Be faithful,
Be powerful,And then destroy
Your mind’s giant doubt-trees! ```Each detachment-plant
Grows intoAn enlightenment-tree.
```Your heart’s penury
Was not decreedBy God’s all-loving Heart.
```Life is a constant battle
BecauseGod wants us to be
Supreme heroes. ```The energy of doubt
Proves to beLong enduring.
```The first smile
That blossomed on earthShowed God
That He was perfect. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 82, Agni Press, 1984
