My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 45

11

```

My heart’s blooming smile

I always offer

To my Lord Supreme

First.

```

APR 3594. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 30 December 2005.↩

2

```

God-dreamers

Eventually become

God-manifestation-fulfillers.

```

3

```

The more we travel

Within,

The faster we get good results

Without. ```

4

```

My God-gratitude

Is

My true life-transformer.

```

5

```

How do I find happiness?

I find happiness

By loving the world more,

Ever more. ```

6

```

The source

Of my inspiration

Is

Mother Earth. ```

7

```

The source

Of my aspiration

Is

My inner sun. ```

8

```

The source

Of my success

Is

My mind-determination. ```

9

```

The source

Of my progress

Is

My surrender-life to God. ```

10

```

Every hour

God sows

A new seed of transformation

In my heart-garden. ```

112

```

The heart is always ready

To answer the questions

Of the mind,

But the mind is not satisfied.

```

APR 3604. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 31 December 2005.↩

12

```

A life of meditation

Gives tremendous joy

To God.

```

13

```

My mind,

If you stay with doubt,

Then I shall have

Nothing to do with you! ```

14

```

Hesitation

Slows down the speed

Of everything divine

That we have. ```

15

```

When we see God

Within ourselves,

He is beautiful and powerful.

But when we see God

In others,

He is only powerful. ```

16

```

No matter where

God’s Feet are,

God’s Heart

Has given me the capacity

To clasp Them.

```

17

```

Only the God-listeners

Are my true friends. ```

18

```

Spirituality

Without surrender

Will always remain

Incomplete. ```

19

```

God equally loves

Those who aspire soulfully

And those who serve devotedly.

```

20

```

God does not love

The sleepers.

He has concern

For the sleepers,

But not love.

```

213

```

When God introduces Himself

To me,

The finite in me

Immediately becomes the Infinite.

```

APR 3614. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 1 January 2006.↩

22

```

When I introduce myself

To God,

The Infinite in Him

Immediately becomes the finite. ```

23

```

I am enamoured

Of each moment that I get

At the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

24

```

My gratitude-heart

Has the capacity

To speak to my Lord Supreme

At every moment. ```

25

```

O Lord,

Do purify my outer voice

And immortalise my inner voice.

```

26

```

My Lord,

When will my mind

Realise You?

“My child,

I am more eager than you are

For your mind to realise Me.” ```

27

```

Ceaselessly I ring

Most devotedly

My God-gratitude-heart-bell.

```

28

```

Each life has

Countless ascending steps

Before it arrives

In Heaven. ```

29

```

Be brave!

Be not stunned

By the present stark reality.

```

30

```

If I really wish

To be a God-devotion-singer,

Then God will give me

The sweetest range of voice. ```

314

```

God enters into

The mind-jungle

With His Light, Peace and Bliss.

The mind hides.

After a while the mind comes

And touches God’s Feet.

God immediately transforms

The mind-jungle

Into the Garden of Eden.

```

APR 3624. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 2 January 2006.↩

32

```

Desire sees the moon

But wants to remain

In the mud and clay

Of the earth. ```

33

```

The doubting mind

Has no entry form

To enter into

God’s Heart-Palace. ```

34

```

Spiritual progress

Ends

The moment the desire-life

Succeeds. ```

35

```

Age has nothing to do

With a sage life. ```

36

```

God is starving and starving

For an iota

Of my inner progress.

```

37

```

Prayer

Protects us

From ignorance-night.

```

38

```

Meditation

Is

Ignorance-night-illumination.

```

39

```

Do not waste time

Even for a moment.

God is eagerly waiting

For you. ```

40

```

No backward step

With doubt,

But forward,

Ever forward steps

With faith.

```

41

```

My Lord,

I have only one prayer:

Please give me

Two Heaven-flying

God-obedience-wings.

```

42

```

Earth-bound

The mind travels. ```

43

```

Heaven-free

The heart flies. ```

445

```

May my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Become

Inseparable friends.

```

APR 3637. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 3 January 2006.↩

45

```

God forgives

Our ill-disciplined life,

But He never forgets it.

```

46

```

A sincere seeker

Never asks God

For a leave of absence.

```

47

```

If unwillingness

Does not accept opportunity,

Life becomes a failure.

```

48

```

When my mind

Does not obey

My Lord Supreme,

The tears of my soul

Flood my heart.

```

49

```

The seeker’s first

And foremost duty:

God-acceptance

In God’s own Way

At every moment.

```

50

```

My hopes

And my dreams

Adorn my heart-garden.

```

51

```

A God-Feet-surrender-life

Is compulsory

Until we breathe our last.

```

52

```

To oversleep God’s special Hour

Is, indeed, a painful

But common experience

In a seeker’s life. ```

53

```

God applauds

When we cry.

God applauds

When we smile.

Is there any time

When God does not applaud,

No matter what we do?

```

546

```

We must brave

The dire challenges of life

To become God’s

Most perfect instruments.

```

APR 3647. These prayers were given in Kijal, Malaysia — 4 January 2006.↩

55

```

Our powerful meditation

Is the only food

That God appreciates

Most sincerely

And most blessingfully.

```

56

```

There is always a better way

To love God and serve God,

And we must try to discover

That particular way. ```

57

```

My meditation

Is my heart’s

God-love-sanctification.

```

58

```

Our oneness-heart

Is God’s

Ecstasy-Dance.

```

59

```

God wants me to win

The inner world first

And then to think

Of the outer world. ```

60

```

Heaven’s Blessings and Concern

I have brought down with me

To be of service

To the earth-planet. ```

61

```

Not the mind’s fantasy,

But the heart’s intimacy

I need.

```

62

```

The privilege

Of serving God

On a daily basis

In the inner world

And in the outer world

Is unimaginable. ```

63

```

My devotion-heart

And God’s Breath

Sing perfectly in tune.

```

64

```

If we love God

In God’s own Way,

There will be no stop

On our God-journey. ```

65

```

The mind

Takes pride

In its high opinions.

```

66

```

The heart

Surrenders its pride

Utterly and unconditionally

At the Feet of God. ```

67

```

If we want to work on earth

Soulfully and perfectly,

Then we must keep in touch

With Heaven’s

Constant Compassion and Concern.

```

68

```

Our God-closeness

We must every day use

To increase

The world-oneness. ```
