God knows everything

Except one thing:

His Heart has yet to learn

How to exclude

Any human being.

```

```

Humanity is either enjoying

Or suffering from

God-faith-eclipse.

```

```

The Transcendental God-Height

Is only for the one-pointed

God-seekers, God-lovers

And God-servers. ```

My Lord Supreme,

Just for a brief moment

Do show me

Your Divinity’s

Absolute Splendour.

Until just yesterday

Attachment and I were

Dearest friends,

But now we two have become

Perfect strangers.

From You.”

When I woke up,

I was so excited to see

That I woke up in the Heart

Your Eye and Your Heart

Wherever You go.

My Lord Supreme,

I have only one prayer:

Do make my heart

As beautiful and pure

As the morning sunrise.

```

16

```

My outer life

Faces the world.

My inner life

Embraces the world. ```

17

```

Genuine and authentic spirituality

Knows no

Outer world-cleverness-compromise.

```

Occult power

Is quite often

Drastic and volcanic.

Is always pure

And absolutely sure.

All the time!

If You have a moment to spare,

I have so many things

To tell You —

Specially all about You.

```

Every day I feel

My Lord is coming

Closer to me,

For I am constantly singing

His Victory-Song.

```

```

To have more inner Blessings

From our Lord Supreme,

We must reduce

Our outer desires.

At every moment

There is a flight

From earth to Heaven.

The plane does not wait

Even for a fleeting second.

```

26

```

O come and bless me,

Infinity’s Beauty

And Eternity’s Duty!

```

27

```

I must please

My Mother Earth

And my Father Heaven

With my heart’s aspiration-mountain

And my life’s dedication-fountain.

Of the summit-heights

Is quite an easy task

Their unconditional surrender

Lovingly and cheerfully

To God’s Will.

I do not need a new face,

But I need a new heart

To love You and please You

In Your own Way.

My Lord,

You have left me alone

In my mind-jungle-cave.

How cruel You are! ```

36

```

My Lord,

It seems that

You think only of Yourself

All the time.

How cruel You are!

```

37

```

Days have run into weeks,

Weeks into months,

Months into years,

Yet You still ignore me,

My Lord.

```

38

```

Those who deliberately

Take the side of darkness

Verily live

In the animal kingdom. ```

39

```

Great men come into the world

To do great things,

Mostly for themselves.

```

40

```

Good men come into the world

Only to do good things

For the world,

And nothing for themselves. ```

41

```

God has repeatedly told me

That He does not want

His Leadership-Command.

He wants only

My friendship-smile.

My heart-tears

And my soul-smiles

Thrive unimaginably.

Every morning

And every evening

God comes to me

To examine my purity-mind

And my hospitality-heart.

Is my Lord’s sleepless

Desire-hunger.

I started my spiritual journey

As a God-beggar.

As a God-partner. ```

When my Lord Supreme

Will proudly claim me

As His own, very own.

```

APR 2527. These prayers were given in Sanur, Bali, Indonesia — 27 January 2004.↩

57

```

For me to agree with God

Implicitly all the time

Is to keep my mind completely shut

And my heart unreservedly open. ```

58

```

An outer life-adventurer

I was.

An inner life-explorer

I now am. ```

59

```

Self-transcendence-joy

Unmistakably knows

No equal.

```

60

```

My heart and I get much more joy

When we walk far behind

Our Lord Beloved Supreme

Than when we walk with Him

Side by side.

Disperses our mind’s

Thick and dark clouds.

Quite often enters into

A frustration-abyss.

“Be happy and remain happy.

Forget about your mistakes,

Even the very last one” —

So says my Lord Supreme. ```

God’s morning mirror

Is my aspiration-heart.

God’s evening mirror

Is my surrender-life. ```

65

```

God’s most favourite Home

Is my ever-blossoming

Gratitude-heart.

I do not need

A world-surprising, giant mind.

I need only

A simple, God-loving heart.

```

APR 2537. These prayers were given in Sanur, Bali, Indonesia — 31 January 2004.↩

67

```

Self-importance-pride:

No, no, no — never!

Self-transcendence-joy:

Yes, yes, yes — ever! ```

68

```

My mind-unlearning desire

And my heart-climbing aspiration

Must go together.

```

69

```

At night

God’s Compassion-Eye teaches me.

In the morning

God’s Oneness-Heart examines me. ```

The earthly races

Are for the God-seekers.

The Heavenly races

Are for the God-discoverers. ```

```

Today Heaven is beckoning

My climbing heart-flames.

```

APR 2542. These prayers were given in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia — 2 February 2004.↩

My God-Breath

To sing and play

In the Heart of His Universe. ```

```

Yesterday I buried

All my sorrows, cries, tears and sighs

In oblivion-cave.

```

74

```

Within,

Heavenly beauty my heart is.

Without,

Earthly duty my life is. ```

Time inspires me,

Time aspires in and through me,

Time is affectionate to me

And time is proud of me

Precisely because I most sincerely value

The unreserved blessings of time. ```

Silence speaks.

Silence creates.

Silence fulfils.

Silence becomes

God’s choicest Voice.

Be not indifferent.

Be not different.

Be interdependent

If you really want joy

In measureless measure

From your life. ```

78

```

My outer qualification

Is my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

In action.

My inner qualification

Is my Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart

In action. ```

79

```

We must never, never indulge

In our negativity-mind,

Even for a fleeting moment.

```

80

```

My humility is

My God-fulfilment-capacity

Far beyond my imagination.

```

8116

```

I must not delay.

Time does not wait for me.

But my Lord Supreme waits for me

Indefinitely, lovingly, self-givingly

And unconditionally.

Therefore I love my Lord Supreme only

And I need Him only.

```

APR 2552. These prayers were given in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia — 5 February 2004.↩

82

```

My life depends entirely

On God’s Compassion-Eye.

God’s Heart entirely depends

On my cheerful and delightful

Surrender-breath.

```

83

```

Depression and enthusiasm

Are immediate neighbours.

I must make the right choice.

I must go immediately

And live with enthusiasm

Permanently. ```

84

```

The outer world-recognition-beggars

Are failure-emperors

In the inner aspiration-world.

```

85

```

God’s Compassion-exploitation

I was.

God’s Compassion-distribution

I now am. ```
