My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 23

11

```

My aspiration-heart’s

Most favourite task:

My God-prayer-tear-cries.

```

APR 1956. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 30 November 2003.↩

2

```

Rotating worries and anxieties —

Alas,

This is what the human mind is.

```

3

```

No ‘why’, no ‘how’,

No ‘when’, no ‘where’ —

My life’s God-surrender is.

```

4

```

Alas,

When will we realise

That our doubts

Are our mind-made products? ```

5

```

My Lord’s Love-Bridge

Spans my aspiration-cries

And my dedication-smiles.

```

6

```

From now on,

No information-collection-mind,

But aspiration-ascension-heart.

```

7

```

Division

Is the self-promoter.

Union

Is the God-prompter. ```

8

```

The unaspiring mind

Is an over-hasty

Judgement-pronouncer.

```

9

```

When my self-dedication

Is absolutely unconditional,

My aspiration-cry skyrockets.

```

10

```

Only the prayerful receptivity-hearts

Are able to watch

God’s hundreds of miracles every day.

```

11

```

My Lord must come first.

My Lord must come last as well,

And in between

There must be none. ```

12

```

A sleepless,

Self-giving life

Is all sunshine.

```

132

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

To practise every day

Forward sprinting,

And never, never

Backward sprinting.

```

APR 1968. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 1 December 2003.↩

14

```

My aspiration-heart

Is determined today

Not to allow the mind

To walk along

The godless shore.

```

15

```

My Lord, do capture me!

Can You not see

Each and every breath of mine

Is for You, only for You? ```

16

```

God and I barter every day

My gratitude-tears

And His Pride-Smiles.

```

17

```

My Lord loves to hear from me

My heart-songs

For hours and hours.

```

18

```

My Lord has no time

To hear even one story

Of my life.

```

19

```

Humanity’s total transformation

Is only a local train,

And can never be

An express train. ```

20

```

I devour the dust

Of my Lord’s Feet. ```

21

```

My Lord devours the sands

Of my life’s

Never-ending mistakes.

```

22

```

O seeker,

Be always on the alert!

At every moment

Try to please God in His own Way.

His Compassion-Eye

May not visit you again. ```

23

```

My oneness with the Will

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme,

Alas,

Is still at the beginning stage. ```

24

```

God gives me His Heart-Breath

Far beyond my necessity.

Needless to say,

I deserve it not in the least. ```

253

```

My aspiration-heart

Is not brittle.

Therefore,

It cannot be broken.

```

APR 1980. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 2 December 2003.↩

26

```

Darkness cannot surround us

If we can ever develop

True love of God.

```

27

```

Although it is a most painful task,

We must accept

The inevitable.

```

28

```

We must not think

Of escaping our past,

But we must dare

To challenge the past

And go far, far beyond

The domain of the past. ```

29

```

Every day, early in the morning,

My Lord Himself enters into

My heart-garden

And collects all my prayerful, soulful

And beautiful heart-blossoms.

```

30

```

At every moment I must and must

Soulfully pray to God

To illumine the darkness

Of my ignorance-night. ```

31

```

God tells my aspiration-heart

Immediately to devour

All my desires,

For they can at any moment

Attack my aspiration-heart

And destroy it totally. ```

32

```

May my enthusiasm-heart

Be not only dauntless,

But also sleepless and breathless.

```

33

```

God calls it

My delight-heart-fountain.

I call it

My Lord’s unconditional

Compassion and Love-Mountain.

```

34

```

If the tears of our hearts

Are sincere,

Then God will definitely keep us

Inside His Compassion-Protection-

Perfection-Satisfaction-Ring.

```

35

```

My God-obedience-boat

My Lord always

Blessingfully and proudly keeps

On the right course. ```

36

```

A prayerless heart

Is, indeed,

A hopeless and useless life.

```

374

```

The gratitude-heart

Is absolutely necessary

To live upon this whole earth.

```

APR 1992. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 3 December 2003.↩

38

```

Aspiration-life begins

The God-discovery-adventure. ```

39

```

Unless I make my Lord happy,

How can I be really happy? ```

40

```

My heart’s each new God-song

Is a forward step

Towards my Lord’s Heart-Home.

```

41

```

I am my life’s

Inner tears.

God is His inner Heart’s

Unending smiles. ```

42

```

Nothing is as charming,

Illumining and fulfilling

As my inner boat-ride

With my Lord Supreme. ```

43

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is always desperately eager

To keep the genuine seekers happy.

```

44

```

With His own Hands

Our Lord Supreme feeds

His unconditionally surrendered

Children. ```

45

```

A complete surrender-life

Means a oneness-dance

Of God and the seeker.

```

46

```

Aspiration-life means

Countless

God-fulfilment-opportunities.

```

47

```

All my devotion-heart-letters

God’s Heart immediately reads

And His Hands immediately fulfil.

```

48

```

The mind

Is the strength

Of only one individual.

```

49

```

The heart

Is the power

Of multitudes.

```

505

```

I must walk, march, run and sprint

Behind my Lord Beloved Supreme,

For He knows

Where He is taking me.

```

APR 2005. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 4 December 2003.↩

51

```

God surrenders to me.

God says to me,

“My child, I have been leading you

For centuries after centuries.

Now I feel you can lead Me.”

“My Lord,

You must always lead me.

The child has always to follow

The Father.

Please do not break Your Cosmic Law

For me.”

```

52

```

Life needs courage,

Courage invincible.

Heart needs oneness,

Oneness universal. ```

53

```

Eternity is within.

Infinity is without.

Immortality is at once

Within and without. ```

54

```

Man in general:

A self-motivated plan. ```

55

```

Ultimately, self-importance

Becomes homeless —

Nowhere to go.

```

56

```

God has only one message

For me:

“Up, up, My child!

To the very top, My child!

Stop not

Until the Goal claims you

And your all.”

```

57

```

Do not think unnecessarily,

Do not think!

Your mind will completely be covered

With ink. ```

58

```

God says to me,

“My child,

Seek Me, seek, seek!

Your heart’s tears and cries

Are still very weak.”

```

59

```

Alas, alas, alas!

My life knows how to sleep,

My heart knows how to weep,

And I know how to cry and sigh

In vain.

```

60

```

I know, I know

Whom only I owe

For my ignorance-conquest-victory-smile:

He is none other than

My Inner Pilot.

```

61

```

My Lord’s Heart-Village-Invitation

Is the greatest privilege

And deepest delight

Of my life. ```

62

```

Who saddens the Heart

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme?

Not me, not me, not me!

Who gladdens the Heart

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme?

Me, me, me! ```

636

```

O foolish mind,

Do not dare to fight

With the Omnipotence-Silence!

```

APR 2018. These prayers were given in Solo, Indonesia — 5 December 2003.↩

64

```

Silence embodies,

Reveals and manifests

God’s Transcendental Dream

Upon earth. ```

65

```

Life is Eternity’s

Silence-journey

Towards Infinity.

```

66

```

God says to me,

“My child,

If you are ready to be responsible

For your today’s life,

Then I shall be fully responsible

For your entire future life.” ```

67

```

Do not try to inform the world

Who you are.

Just try to reform the world

With the tears of your heart. ```

68

```

Each soulful prayer

Touches God’s Feet. ```

69

```

Each deep meditation

Enters into God’s Heart. ```

70

```

God has made me

His Divinity’s partner,

Not because my mind

Is extremely powerful

And not because my heart

Is extremely beautiful,

But because I am of Him

And I am for Him. ```

71

```

As long as my Lord Supreme

Knows and sees

That my heart-cries are sincere,

I do not have to prove anything

To the world.

```

72

```

Every day my God-surrender-life

Has to increase in beauty and purity

If I really want God to love me more

And ever more. ```

73

```

When I think

Of my Lord Supreme,

He is His Power infinite.

```

74

```

When I pray

To my Beloved Supreme,

He is His Compassion infinite.

```

75

```

When I meditate

On my Absolute Supreme,

He is His Satisfaction-Heart infinite.

```

76

```

God is His Immortality’s

Hope-Dream and Promise-Reality

For His full Manifestation

In each human being upon earth. ```
