Forward-marching Will.

```

12

```

Mankind is mankind's

Backward-crawling desire.

```

13

```

I am convinced

That God is always

Pleased with me.

```

14

```

Alas,

I am never pleased

With myself.

```

15

```

God takes pride

In having me

As His partner.

```

16

```

I take pride

In being

God's servitor.

```

17

```

God tells me,

"My child,

I have plenty of time.

Take your own time.

Tell Me what you have to say."

```

18

```

I tell God,

"My Lord,

I am in a hurry.

Please forgive me.

My ignorance-friend

Is waiting for me." ```

19

```

God tells me,

"My child,

Until you take Me

As your only Friend,

Neither you nor I will have

Even an iota of peace." ```

20

```

I tell God,

"My Lord, I surrender.

You have won the race.

I shall fly with You,

I shall dive with You,

I shall run with You,

I shall always be with You,

In You and for You." ```

The God-aspiring hearts

And the God-serving lives

In God's morning Meals

And evening Meals.

26

```

Supreme!

Finally I have stopped criticising God

For everything that happens

In my life. ```

27

```

Supreme!

God is asking me

Not to blame Him any more

For the world-crisis.

God tells me,

"My child,

I am wide awake,

I am wide awake." ```

28

```

Supreme!

In my outer life

I have become a lamb

To charm You.

In my inner life

I have become a lion

To manifest You.

```

29

```

Supreme!

God tells me

That if I unreservedly love Him,

Then I must bury my past

In oblivion-cave.

```

303

```

Supreme!

Heaven bountifully descends

Only when earth cheerfully offers

Its bleeding tears to God.

```

APR 786. These prayers were given in Kauai, Hawaii — 26 November 2001.↩

31

```

Hope and faith

From deep within

Can challenge and defeat

The outer cruel fate. ```

32

```

Supreme!

He who rejects his Master's advice

Summarily

Loses immediately

His God-identification-life.

```

33

```

The inner God-surrender-heart

Has to become

The outer world-prosperity-life.

```

34

```

The mind-admirer

And the mind-enjoyer

Cannot be

The heart-sky-climber. ```

35

```

My prayer-life

Tells my mind

Where it must go.

```

36

```

My meditation-life

Tells my heart

What it must become.

```

37

```

Aspire, aspire!

God is extremely eager

To share with you

All His supreme Secrets. ```

38

```

My prayer loves

My bended knees

Inside my mind-cave.

```

39

```

My meditation loves

My deepening heart

Inside my soul-temple.

```

404

```

Wherever I go,

God's Compassion

Walks ahead of me

And His Protection

Walks side by side with me.

```

APR 796. These prayers were given in Kauai, Hawaii — 28 November 2001.↩

41

```

There is only

One Source:

God-Infinity's Delight.

```

42

```

My faith in God

Is my inner freedom.

My faith in God

Is my outer confidence. ```

43

```

My God-obedience

Is my God-centred life. ```

44

```

God and I always speak

The language of heart-fondness

And life-oneness.

```

45

```

The love of power

Dominates the outer world.

The power of love

Liberates the inner world. ```

46

```

Alas,

When the mind's tunnel invites me,

I immediately accept the invitation

And run towards the tunnel.

But when the heart's palace invites me,

I get frightened. I hesitate.

Finally, I decline the invitation.

```

47

```

My prayer-tears

Quickly take me to God.

My meditation-smiles

Immediately bring God to me. ```

48

```

I must keep my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Far beyond

The limitations of my fate. ```

49

```

The sweetness of the heart

Unmistakably nullifies

The bitterness of the mind.

```

505

```

My heart-tears

Are my thunders

To demolish my mind's

Pride-walls.

```

APR 806. These prayers were given in Kauai, Hawaii — 30 November 2001.↩

51

```

I am hopeless,

Worthless and useless

Until I sincerely feel

That I am of God

And I am for God.

```

52

```

My heart-flower

Is God-Beauty.

My life-hour

Is God-Duty. ```

53

```

I am my

Three hundred and sixty-five

Tearful days,

Yet my Lord Supreme

Is far, far away

From me. ```

54

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That my sincere nothingness

Embodies His complete Fulness.

```

55

```

To have the mind

As the sole master

Of my life

Is to invite confusion-disaster. ```

56

```

With my heart's

Sleepless devotion-tears

I drink deep the Beauty

Of my Beloved Lord's Feet. ```

576

```

Supreme!

Each and every citizen

Of this world

Must cry and smile

In love and trust.

```

APR 813. These prayers were given in Kauai, Hawaii — 1 December 2001.↩

58

```

My Lord,

At every moment

I need Your supreme Guidance

To solve all my inner

And outer problems.

```

59

```

My Lord,

I must not allow my self-doubt

To mar my heart's inner peace.

```

60

```

My Lord,

I must not allow

Anxieties and worries

To eclipse my heart-sun. ```

61

```

Every day the Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Supreme

Leads me

In so many unexpected ways. ```

62

```

Every day my Lord Supreme,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Commands me

To say things and do things

Challenging, daring,

Surprising, astonishing

And startling.

```

63

```

My Lord tells me,

"My child,

Start praying and meditating

For you to reach the Summit-Goal.

I shall do the rest."

```

64

```

God tells me,

"My child,

He who is obedient

To My Voice

Is My immediate Choice."

```

65

```

My love of God

Is my only religion.

I must break through

All my mind-occupied

Religion-curtains.

```

66

```

For me

There is only one way

To reach my Goal,

And that way

Is by raising the standard

Of my self-discipline

And my God-dedication.

```

67

```

I must keep quiet.

I must keep my mind-road

Absolutely clear.

God is on His way

To come and speak to me.

```

687

```

My Lord tells me

That even if I do not see Him,

Even if I do not feel Him,

I must believe in Him

When He says

That His Compassion-Eye

Is upon me all the time

In loving watchfulness.

```

APR 824. These prayers were given in Kauai, Hawaii — 2 December 2001.↩

69

```

My Lord tells me,

"My child,

Be not overcharged

With worries and fears.

I shall gladly be

Your heavy burden-bearer." ```

70

```

I must realise

That God's Heart-Eye

Is always open

To my tears. ```

71

```

I must realise

That God's Heart-Ear

Is always open

To my cries. ```

72

```

My Lord tells me,

"My child,

Do not think

Of your tomorrow's needs.

Like today,

Tomorrow also I shall be

Your cheerful and sure supplies."

```

73

```

My Lord tells me,

"My child,

Have implicit faith in Me.

What am I here on earth for,

If I am not going to deliver you

From all your imaginary and real

Trials and tribulations?"

```

74

```

No matter what the world

Does to me,

No matter what the world

Thinks of me,

No matter what the world

Says about me,

I shall always be for the world,

For the betterment of the world,

As long as I am in the world of the living.

```

75

```

My Lord tells me,

"My child,

Be not afraid of your life's dire crisis.

I shall be your life's

All-conquering Strength.

You just carry My Victory-Banner

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world." ```

76

```

My Lord,

From now on

I shall always abide

By Your supreme Plans.

Whenever I plan anything,

I only create disaster.

Therefore, my planning

Is nothing short of my interference.

I know You are the supreme Player

And I am Your divine instrument. ```

77

```

Why does God have to tell me

What He is going to do

In and through my life?

Why?

Let Him accomplish His Purpose

In my life.

I must always walk along the road

Of ever-increasing faith. ```
