My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 17

```

The heart

Of every real God-seeker

Is God-obedience.

```

APR 1483. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 15 December 2002.↩

2

```

My heart and I

Bow and bow and bow

To everything

That my Lord blessingfully says

And compassionately does.

```

3

```

A true seeker

Spends all his time

On God’s Needs

And does not spend even a second

On his own needs.

```

4

```

Perfect perfection

Is not a mental hallucination.

Perfect perfection

Is a distant tomorrow’s realisation

In every aspect of life.

```

5

```

My God-surrender-life

Is the only proper way

For me to aspire.

```

6

```

Nobody

Can ever complete

The inner education.

```

7

```

We all must develop

An intense and immense

Attraction to God.

```

8

```

Each seeker

Is an unhorizoned dream

Of God’s Vision-Eye.

```

92

```

A lion-heart is indispensable

To win

Life’s battle-victory.

```

APR 1491. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 16 December 2002.↩

10

```

Sleepless and breathless tears

Show us the shortest way

To the highest Heaven of delight.

```

11

```

The desire-bound human beings

Suffer from chronic

Doubt-afflictions.

```

12

```

Every day

I make a bold attempt

To extinguish my life’s

Desire-fire. ```

13

```

My utter desire-failure

Was the very beginning

Of my aspiration-success.

```

14

```

My soul’s inner poise

I apply

In every disturbing situation.

```

15

```

May my heart remain

Always hungry

For oneness-happiness.

```

16

```

God’s Silence-Eye

Is

The world-awakening bell.

```

17

```

God never demands

More than I can give Him

Cheerfully.

```

18

```

Our response to God’s

Compassion-Eye-Invitation

Has to be compulsory

And not voluntary. ```

193

```

I must climb up

The mountain-summit

Of God-worship.

```

APR 1501. These prayers were given in Wellington, New Zealand — 18 December 2002.↩

20

```

Our negativity-mind

Has to be crushed

At every moment.

```

21

```

Every morning my heart feels

That my soul and my Lord Supreme

Are having most serious

And most intimate conversations. ```

22

```

The greatest joy and the highest pride

I get

Only when I see my heart-tears

Are self-givingly mingling

With the golden dust of my Lord’s Feet.

```

23

```

Even a moment

Of our unconditional surrender

To God’s Will

Brings us very close to God. ```

24

```

Today I have utterly destroyed

My mind’s God-disobedience-tree —

Root and branch.

```

25

```

Let my life’s only motto be

Aspiration —

Sleepless aspiration

And breathless aspiration. ```

26

```

May my Lord’s absolute Victory

In my life

Be imminent.

```

274

```

Every morning I receive

Most beautiful Smiles

From God’s Transcendental Eye.

```

28

```

Every evening I receive

Most powerful Blessings

From God’s Universal Heart.

```

29

```

God Himself

Proudly beats

My surrender-victory-drum.

```

30

```

God’s Vision-Eye

Is the home

Of all my sweet dreams.

```

31

```

God’s Compassion-Affection-Love-Embrace

Is for all,

Born and yet unborn.

```

32

```

My life-road is absolutely clear

Only when I faithfully listen

To the dictates of my aspiration-heart.

```

33

```

The mind does not believe

In God-gratitude,

But the heart does —

It always does. ```

34

```

When my heart-bird sings,

God immediately stops

Whatever He is doing.

```

355

```

God tells me

That my God-devotion-magnet

Is not only most powerful,

But also most beautiful.

```

APR 1517. These prayers were given in Christchurch, New Zealand — 21 December 2002.↩

36

```

The ego does not want to die,

No matter what happens.

The soul does not want to give up

Its God-manifestation-promise,

No matter what happens.

```

37

```

When my heart-tears

Send an invitation

To my mind,

Even my mind does not dare

To ignore.

```

38

```

May every day

My earth-existence

Feel a very close connection

With God’s Heart-Home. ```

39

```

My aspiration-heart

Responds only

To tomorrow’s rainbow-dawn.

```

40

```

God’s Name-repetition

Embodies all my prayers

And all my meditations.

```

41

```

My heart-tears

Come from my soul’s

Beginningless journey.

```

42

```

My life-smiles

Come from my soul’s

Endless journey.

```

43

```

From time immemorial,

This world of ours

Has been in bondage-night.

Alas, we have no idea

When it will be able to celebrate

Its independence-delight. ```

44

```

No God-dream

Can ever be empty. ```

45

```

The love of the heart

Blooms.

The oneness of the soul

Blossoms. ```

466

```

In the morning

My Beloved Supreme

Is lovable and adorable.

In the evening

My Absolute Supreme

Is incomparable and approachable.

```

APR 1528. These prayers were given in Christchurch, New Zealand — 22 December 2002.↩

47

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Please, please stop

Your separation-game!

Can You not see

That my eyes are crying

And my heart is bleeding for You? ```

48

```

May my God-service-joy

Forever remain

Unparalleled.

```

49

```

The divine in us

Loves God-dictation.

The human in us

Loves man-quotation. ```

50

```

The Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme

Every morning clears the road

For my life’s progress-chariot. ```

51

```

Just yesterday

I was helpless and hopeless.

But today my Lord,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Has made my heart useful

And my life fruitful. ```

52

```

God is asking me

To make my pure devotion-dream

A sure manifestation-reality.

```

53

```

When I am without God,

My mind and I collect destruction-facts.

When I am with God,

My heart and I act and act and act

Lovingly, devotedly,

Self-givingly and breathlessly

For a new creation,

Empty of darkness. ```

54

```

A sweet surrender-life-joy

Discovers Eternity’s Light

And Infinity’s Delight.

```

557

```

The beauty of love,

The fragrance of devotion

And the sweetness of surrender

Are unimaginably exquisite.

```

APR 1537. These prayers were given in Christchurch, New Zealand — 23 December 2002.↩

56

```

My wild

God-unwillingness-disobedience-extinction-hour

Is fast approaching.

```

57

```

God desires my life to be

His Lotus-Heart-Home. ```

58

```

There are countless things on earth

For us to feed,

But alas, why do we feed

Our desire-hunger-fire

That burns our God-aspiration,

God-dedication

And God-manifestation-life?

```

59

```

I must not make

My Lord’s Golden Boat heavier

With my expectation-frustration-heavy weights.

```

60

```

At long last

My age-old ignorance-prison

Is in flames.

```

61

```

The Master teaches his disciples

How to hear

God’s Silence-Footsteps.

My life-beauty.

On the strength of my meditations,

I increase measurelessly

My heart-fragrance.

```

```

The morning-devotion-breath

Of my heart

Awakens me and carries me

To the Heart-Home

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

APR 1546. These prayers were given in Christchurch, New Zealand — 25 December 2002.↩

65

```

I must not do anything

Without having permission first

From my God-oneness-heart.

```

66

```

My third eye sees everything.

My third eye knows everything.

My third eye becomes everything.

My third eye is everything. ```

67

```

Every day

I must bask in the sunshine

Of my God-gratitude-heart.

```

68

```

My eyes are wide open,

But alas,

My heart is fast asleep.

```

69

```

The beauty of my tears

Is in my God-adoration. ```

70

```

The fragrance of my smiles

Is in my God-surrender. ```

71

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Will not allow me to know

What failure truly is.

```

72

```

My mind doubts

My extraordinary capacities,

Yet I love my mind.

My wild vital kicks me day and night,

Yet I love my wild vital.

My body does not obey me,

Yet I love my body.

My Lord Supreme loves me,

Cares for me and protects me,

Yet I do not love my Lord Supreme. ```

739

```

God is at once

The sweetest Dream

Of my heart

And the farthest Reality

Of my eyes.

```

APR 1555. These prayers were given in Christchurch, New Zealand — 26 December 2002.↩

74

```

We can succeed

In transforming the world

Only with our love-smiles

And sympathy-tears. ```

75

```

I ply my life-boat

Between

Earth’s solemn duty-shore

And

Heaven’s ambrosial Beauty-Shore.

```

76

```

Heaven’s Nectar-Smiles

Bring us down.

Earth’s heart-tears

Return us. ```

77

```

My life-blood

Secretly embodies

All my prayers.

```

78

```

My heart-breath

Silently embodies

All my meditations.

```

79

```

In the inner world

I am a joy-living heart. ```

80

```

In the outer world

I am a joy-giving life. ```

81

```

My life begs and begs

My soul

To keep its eyes closed.

```

82

```

My soul begs and begs

My life

To keep its heart open.

```

83

```

Long ago

I far transcended

All my expectation-barriers.

```

84

```

Peace on our lips

We all have.

Peace in our hearts

We all sadly need. ```
