My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 5

11

```

To be always for God,

And God alone,

Is infinitely more than enough.

```

APR 437. These prayers were given in Yangon, Myanmar — 11 December 2000.↩

2

```

God Himself rings

Powerfully and proudly

My life’s gratitude-heart-bell.

```

32

```

My God-eagerness-heart

Shall eventually grow into

My God-satisfaction-smile.

```

APR 439. These prayers were given in Yangon, Myanmar — 13 December 2000.↩

4

```

I have given God

My last world-attachment-desire.

God has smilingly and proudly

Accepted it. ```

5

```

The full Satisfaction

Of my Lord Supreme

Is my life’s only victory.

```

6

```

I quickly mount

My life’s eagerness-chariot

To arrive at

God’s Palace. ```

7

```

We must raise God’s Banner,

Not with our proud hands,

But with our soulful hearts.

```

8

```

God wants my life

To live in happiness-smiles,

And not in sadness-tears.

```

9

```

Do not open your mind-lock:

You will be in very serious trouble.

But keep your heart-lock always open:

Yours will be the joy unparalleled. ```

10

```

God is extremely fond of

My thrilling and thrilled

Aspiration-heart.

```

11

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Brightens my mind,

Sweetens my heart

And

Enlightens my life.

```

12

```

I offer my gratitude-heart-songs

To my Lord Supreme.

He immediately carries me

Away from the boundaries

Of ignorance-night.

```

13

```

No more, no more

Ego-intoxication,

But ego-transformation,

More, ever more. ```

14

```

Out of His infinite Bounty,

My Lord has given me the capacity

To steer my life-boat

To a far-off God-realisation-destination

Today.

```

15

```

My heart-tears

Are made of

My God-gratitude-songs.

```

163

```

If we want to make

The fastest progress

In our spiritual life,

We must silence the mind first.

```

APR 452. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 19 December 2000.↩

17

```

We must not allow

Our world-attachments

To eclipse the face

Of our inner divinity’s sun. ```

18

```

When I am in my mind,

My only choice is reward-expectation.

When I am in my heart,

My only choice is God-Satisfaction. ```

19

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Proudly crowns

My humility-life.

```

20

```

God wants me to believe

That He is simply fascinated

By the beauty of my heart

And the fragrance of my soul. ```

21

```

God does not want me

To waste any more

My heart’s precious love

On my God-doubting mind

And God-denying vital.

```

22

```

I have discovered

The beauty of my heart

Inside a leaf.

I have discovered

The fragrance of my soul

Inside a flower. ```

23

```

Easily

My gratitude-heart-tears

Steal

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```

24

```

No more, no more

My God-denying mind.

More, abundantly more,

Infinitely more

My God-crying heart.

```

25

```

My Lord Supreme, do tell me,

When are You going to be proud of me?

“My child, I shall be proud of you

The moment you dare to claim Me

As your own, very own.”

```

26

```

My Lord Supreme, do tell me,

When are You going to love me?

“My child, since the very beginning

Of My creation,

What else have I been doing?”

```

274

```

I must stop

Telling the world

My life’s desire-stories.

```

APR 463. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 20 December 2000.↩

28

```

God does not want me to memorise

His infinite Names.

He wants me to memorise

Only three Names:

Concern, Compassion and Forgiveness.

```

29

```

Every morning and evening

I worship my Lord Supreme

With my heart’s

Devotion-lotus-blossoms. ```

30

```

My surrender-steps

Reach my Lord’s Heart-Home

Infinitely faster

Than any other steps. ```

31

```

God often closes

His Justice-Eye,

But He never closes

His Compassion-Eye. ```

32

```

To the disobedience-mind God says:

“Come back, come back!”

To the obedience-heart God says:

“I am all yours.

Do whatever you want to do

With Me.” ```

33

```

Go forward, O seeker, go forward

Towards your destination!

You must never bind the past

With the chains of memories. ```

34

```

God is extremely eager

To look at man’s happy face

Indefinitely.

```

35

```

If I ever lose my devotion-grip

On my Lord Supreme,

Then that will be the end

Of my true spiritual life. ```

36

```

Alas, I am eager to know

When God-love, God-devotion

And God-surrender-festivals

Will take place here on earth. ```

375

```

I have given my heart

To God for safekeeping.

To my greatest joy,

He has accepted it

Proudly.

```

APR 473. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 21 December 2000.↩

38

```

I must pray to God

As often as possible,

And not at long intervals.

```

39

```

May my heart every day

Practise readiness, willingness,

And eagerness-mantras

Without fail! ```

40

```

I quickly devour

And divinely enjoy

The dust of my Lord’s Feet.

```

41

```

I prayerfully invite God,

And He quickly comes

And blesses me

With divine News. ```

42

```

My heart and I every day

Embark on our soulful pilgrimage

To God’s Feet.

```

43

```

Although God does not tell us,

We must feel that

Our ingratitude-heart

Deeply shocks Him. ```

44

```

If I truly love God,

Then I must never fear

My Lord’s Justice-Light.

```

45

```

In my aspiration-life

Nothing can be as important

As my God-hunger.

```

46

```

God is always at home,

Available,

When my heart comes

To visit Him. ```

47

```

Mine is the heart

That every day flies to God

With devotion-delight.

```

486

```

Today God has warned me

Very seriously:

He does not want to hear

Any more bad news and sad news

From me.

```

APR 484. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 22 December 2000.↩

49

```

Nothing shocks my Lord Supreme,

Even my Eternity’s

Ingratitude-volcano.

```

50

```

This morning I have applied

For God’s slave-position.

I shall prayerfully wait

For His kind Decision. ```

51

```

Although my aspiration-heart-temple

Is not always clean and pure,

My Beloved Supreme every day visits

My aspiration-heart-temple

And blesses it,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Unconditionally.

```

52

```

Our aspiration-intensification

Is of absolute necessity

If we want to expedite

Our Godward journey. ```

53

```

God is always hungry

For my heart’s

Self-giving smiles.

```

54

```

This world of ours

Will be illumined,

Sooner than at once,

If it falls in love

With God’s Eye-Beauty

And God’s Heart-Fragrance. ```

557

```

Twice God takes us most seriously:

Once when we cry most pitifully

And

Once when we smile most heartily.

```

APR 491. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 23 December 2000.↩

56

```

In the outer world,

Life is fighting most ferociously

With life.

In the inner world,

Life is living most peacefully

With life. ```

57

```

Unconditional God-surrender

Accomplished,

Nothing else remains

To be accomplished,

Either here on earth

Or there in Heaven. ```

58

```

My devotion

Is my Lord’s

Fondness-Cradle.

```

59

```

My perfection-life

Entirely depends on

The aspiration of my heart-shrine.

```

60

```

Nobody can make the fastest progress

In the spiritual life

Without having a deep-rooted longing

For God. ```

61

```

If I can have an infant-cry,

Then God will become

My real and immediate Mother.

```

62

```

With my prayers and meditations,

I must occupy

Every unoccupied moment

To manifest my Lord Supreme,

Here on earth and there in Heaven,

In His own Way. ```

63

```

My Lord’s most powerful Command:

“My son, throw away immediately

Your ignorance-membership card.”

```

64

```

My sound-life

Ends

When my silence-heart

Begins. ```

658

```

To doubt God’s Love,

Even for a moment,

Is an unpardonable crime.

```

APR 501. These prayers were given in Mandalay, Myanmar — 26 December 2000.↩

66

```

Never question

God’s Decision

Even once.

```

67

```

Have implicit faith in God.

His Compassion-Eye

Can solve all our problems.

```

68

```

To my greatest joy,

My life has become

A perfect slave

To my heart’s eagerness. ```

69

```

My gratitude-heart

Pleases God

With astonishing speed.

```

70

```

A devotion-heart

Has a natural attraction

For God’s Compassion-Feet.

```

71

```

We have simply no idea

In how many ways

God tries to please us.

```

72

```

God has reserved

A very special place

In His Heart

For those who look closely

At everything God does.

```

73

```

God’s Forgiveness

Plays the most important role

In our nature’s transformation.

```

74

```

When God calls you

To return home,

You must immediately

And cheerfully

Obey Him.

```

75

```

Alas,

Even a thousand smiles

Cannot create one single smile

In the mind. ```

76

```

Whenever God sees purity

In our gratitude,

He immediately devours it.

```

77

```

An attachment-heart

And a darkness-mind

Are inseparable.

```

789

```

Only a self-giving life

Finds its way

To Heaven.

```

APR 514. These prayers were given in Bagan, Myanmar — 30 December 2000.↩

79

```

God wants me to keep

My love for Him

Hidden

In my heart’s deepest chamber. ```

80

```

A prayer-song

Is as significant

As a fragrance-rosary.

```
