My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 29

11

```

God-realisation

Is not an impossible task —

No, not even

The most difficult task.

So says my soul to my mind.

```

APR 2399. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 5 January 2004.↩

```

To be a supremely chosen instrument

Of God

Has to be the aim

Of each and every God-seeker. ```

3

```

Nothing forever remains the same.

This darkest night of my mind

Shall pass —

I know, I know. ```

4

```

I do not pray to God

To weaken my enemies.

I pray to God

To illumine them. ```

5

```

God wants me to build

A special Heaven

For me and my oneness-heart-friends

Here on earth

And nowhere else.

```

6

```

No heart

Is too weak

To receive Love

From God. ```

7

```

No life

Is too insignificant

To love

And serve God. ```

8

```

The mind’s proudest verdict:

God does not know

What the mind does.

```

9

```

The heart’s humblest opinion:

God not only knows

What the heart does

In every detail,

But also inspires the heart

To do everything

Lovingly, soulfully

And self-givingly. ```

10

```

My heart-breath

Secretly and sacredly treasures

My sleepless love of God

And my breathless service to God. ```

11

```

My Lord Supreme

Is not at all interested

In listening to my life’s

Worthless and useless stories,

But He is extremely eager

To hear my heart-songs

And also extremely eager

To watch my life’s

Surrender-dance.

```

122

```

I use my vision-eye

When I am in

The inner world.

```

APR 2410. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 6 January 2004.↩

13

```

I use my mission-heart

When I am in

The outer world.

```

14

```

My Lord,

Please, please, please

Do not allow

My gratitude-heart-flower

Ever to fade!

```

15

```

When I most sincerely pray,

My Lord says to me,

“My child,

You are, indeed,

My Beauty’s child.”

```

16

```

During my very deep meditation,

God comes to me and says,

“My child,

You are, indeed,

My Duty’s hero-warrior.”

```

17

```

Love and serve.

Love God the Creator;

Serve God the Creation.

Your life-breath

In God’s Heart-World

Will never cease. ```

18

```

I am eagerly waiting for the day

When my God-love,

My God-devotion

And my God-surrender

Will be in full bloom.

```

19

```

My new inner name

Is

God-Blessing-abundance.

```

20

```

My new outer name

Is

God-surrender-ecstasy.

```

21

```

To God,

Nothing is more important

Than my tearful heart

And my blissful eyes. ```

223

```

To increase my love of God

Every day

Is the only way for me

To live divinely on earth.

```

APR 2420. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 7 January 2004.↩

23

```

My mind and I —

When we depend on each other,

We miserably fail.

```

24

```

My heart and I —

When we depend on each other,

We invariably succeed.

```

25

```

My God-obedience

Is my God-given

Golden flute-melody-life.

```

26

```

My God-disobedience

Is the thunder-drum-sound

Cherished by the hostile forces.

```

27

```

My ego-mind

Tries to overrule

My soul’s solemn

Judgement-light-utterances

In vain.

```

28

```

My Master reveals

The unseen God to me

At the very right moment.

```

29

```

I must seriously take care

Of my inner health

And my outer life.

```

30

```

The Tears of my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye

Strengthen my life

And lengthen my breath. ```

314

```

My love, my devotion

And my surrender —

God has taken them

As His confidants.

```

APR 2429. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 8 January 2004.↩

32

```

My Lord,

Do make me

Your selfless slave

To make me really happy

In this lifetime.

```

33

```

We all must discover

The secret and sacred magnitude

Of each divine thought.

```

34

```

God is ready to discuss with me,

Not about my past,

Not about my future,

But about today. ```

35

```

My real homeland

Is

My God-aspiration-heart.

```

36

```

My Lord,

Do give me another chance!

I am ready for the climb.

This time I shall not fail You. ```

37

```

Long, long ago

You lost God.

You are now

Rediscovering Him.

God is helping you.

```

38

```

In the spiritual life,

Every day, every hour,

Every minute

I must long for

God’s inner Guidance

And God’s outer Guidance. ```

395

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Blessingfully teaches me

How to cry.

```

APR 2437. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 9 January 2004.↩

40

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Blessingfully teaches me

How to smile.

```

41

```

I make no mistake

When I tell the world

That I am all God’s.

I make no mistake

When I tell the world

That God is all mine. ```

42

```

My Lord says to me,

“My child,

You are totally mistaken.

You must say

That you are all God

And I am all you, only you.” ```

43

```

With every single breath,

My heart and I

Are rising towards

Our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

44

```

At long last

I am able to enter

Into my life’s

Beauty-fragrance-inundated horizon. ```

45

```

Transcendence and expansion

Work together

Happily and proudly.

```

46

```

When I offer

My life’s power-of-attorney

To my Lord Supreme,

He immediately embraces me

Lovingly, powerfully and self-givingly.

```

47

```

A sleepless self-giver-seeker

To humankind

Has no time for himself.

```

48

```

During my deep meditation,

When God-ecstasy appears,

My inefficiency-life

Immediately disappears. ```

496

```

From this moment on,

My Lord shall take His seat

Inside my stupidity-flooded mind.

```

APR 2447. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 10 January 2004.↩

50

```

My Lord Supreme

Never says ‘no’

To me,

But I do say ‘no’

To Him.

```

51

```

My Lord Supreme

Never doubts me,

But I do doubt Him.

```

52

```

My Lord Supreme

Never insists —

But I do.

```

53

```

Where do I live?

I live in between

My life’s eagerness-heart

And my life’s intensity-breath

To fulfil my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

54

```

Self-indulgence,

I have nothing to do with you.

I shall see you no more.

```

55

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Most seriously examines

My mind-purity-capacities.

```

56

```

Every day my Beloved Supreme

Most affectionately feeds

All my necessities.

```

57

```

Desires

Dominate my life.

Aspiration

Elevates my heart. ```

58

```

Every morning

And every evening

I wash my Supreme Lord’s Feet

With my devotion-heart-tears,

And then I kiss His Feet

Self-givingly. ```

597

```

Determination

Of the utmost strength

Is needed

For God-realisation.

```

APR 2457. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 11 January 2004.↩

60

```

I do not want to be

A book-knowledge-smart

Man.

```

61

```

I want to be

A heart-wisdom-smart

Seeker.

```

62

```

We all must be

Very, very careful.

Doubt can at any moment plunder

All our divine qualities. ```

63

```

Faith-flower-fragrance

Is exquisite. ```

64

```

I must make

My God-dedication-strides

Longer than the longest.

```

65

```

The mind gets tired

Right after

A very short prayer.

```

66

```

The heart does not get tired

Even after

A very long meditation.

```

67

```

The cyclone-violences

In various parts of the world

Can be stopped

By soulful prayers

And powerful meditations.

```

68

```

We need a failure-ignoring

And self-doubt-shunning aspiration

To arrive

At our destined Goal. ```

69

```

Today

My God-worship-shrine-heart

Is exceedingly happy and excited,

For soon

My Lord will arrive.

```

70

```

My Lord is telling me

That all my God-dreams

Will definitely become

Reality-blossoms

At His choice Hour.

```

718

```

A true seeker

Is a Heaven-inspired

God-messenger

On earth.

```

APR 2469. These prayers were given in Legian, Bali, Indonesia — 12 January 2004.↩

72

```

God’s invisible blows

Awaken

My life.

```

73

```

God’s visible blows

Expedite

My Godward journey.

```
