Disobedience,
Time is up!Now, you shut up,
Pack upAnd go away!
```Disobedience,
You have destroyedMy life's beauty
And my heart's fragrance. ```There is no such thing
As negligible disobedience. ```Disobedience,
You are always intolerable,But you are never, never
Invincible. ```Disobedience-thoughts
Are responsibleFor the total loss
Of my heart-beauty's eyes. ```Sleeplessly and breathlessly
Protect yourselfFrom disobedience-dragon,
O God-lover. ```Today's disobedience
IsTomorrow's
Calamity-thunderstorm. ```Disobedience unlimited
IsYour stupidity-hunger.
```This world of ours
Is full of disobedient people.Can you not try
To be an exception?Try!
Certainly you can succeed. ```With hope
God built this world.With disobedience
Man is building his world. ```A disobedience-seeker
Is doomed to enter earlyInto his spirituality-empty grave.
```Disobedience,
God may come to youWith His Forgiveness,
But never, never with His Pride. ```Obedience says to God,
"Father, please tell meHow I can please You more,
Infinitely more."Disobedience says to God,
"God, if You are reallyThe Possessor
Of infinite Compassion,How is it that You cannot
Make me happyIn my own way?"
```In the inner world,
The seeker's disobedienceIs dangerous.
In the outer world,The seeker's disobedience
Is contagious. ```Poor God!
I feel sorry for You.I am sure You never even dreamt
Of my disobedience. ```Disobedience,
Look what you have done to me!You have turned
My aspiration-flame-dreamsInto my frustration-ashes.
```My Lord, I beg of You,
Do give me the capacityTo end my long acquaintance
And associationWith disobedience.
```Disobedience,
Do you not realiseThat you make my Lord cry?
Can you not seeThat you have devoured
God's Mountain-Hopes for me? ```O my mind's disobedience,
O my heart's ingratitude,Do tell me,
Who instigated whom firstTo displease God?
```Alas, my life-boat plies
BetweenMy life's disobedience
AndMy soul's embarrassment.
```Obedience prayerfully
Cares to seeGod's Happiness-Heart.
Disobedience proudlyDares to see
God's Volcano-Eye. ```God-disobedience
IsThe universal ignorance-sleep.
```Obedience is
Earth-heart-evolution.Disobedience is
Earth-life-revolution. ```My Compassion-Lord
Has promised meThat He will hold my hand,
Even in my disobedience-hell. ```I was a fleeting dreamer
Of God-disobedience-force.But now I am
A permanent dwellerIn God-obedience-delight.
```Disobedience,
God is infinitely more displeasedWith you
Than you can ever dareTo imagine!
```Disobedience,
What you want is constantAttention-appreciation
From God,But what you need is constant
Illumination-perfectionFrom God.
```Disobedience
IsTo make extravagant demands
Upon God. ```Disobedience,
Shame on you!You are
The worst possible extremistIn God-rejection.
```Disobedience of my mind-sword,
I do not want you.Obedience of my heart-flute,
I love you and I need you. ```Disobedience,
You have deserted spirituality.Disobedience,
You have discarded integrity. ```Disobedience-pride, hide!
My frustration-anger is all readyTo chide you ruthlessly.
```Disobedience means
The mind's bold refusalTo bow to the illumined heart.
```Disobedience means
The mind's shameless tug-of-warWith the blameless God.
```Disobedience means
The heart'sUniversal oneness-promise-destruction.
```Disobedience
IsA hardliner God-doubter.
```Disobedience enjoys
Self-imposed exileFrom God.
```Disobedience,
You are blind!Can you not see
That you are heading towardsAn uncharted wilderness?
```In the spiritual life,
Two real beasts:Disobedience, the mad elephant,
AndSuspicion, the hungry wolf.
```Disobedience
IsNegativity's
Supreme authority in action. ```Disobedience
IsSpirituality's
Completely paralysing fall. ```Disobedience
IsA barking God-doubt-dog.
```Disobedience,
You are more thanAn aspiration-starvation.
You are more thanAn aspiration-death.
You are indeedAn aspiration-grave.
```Disobedience,
You teach meHow to dislike God
AndHow to reject God.
But I clearly seeThat your days are numbered,
For God'sCompassion-Illumination-Satisfaction
Will ultimately be victoriousIn and through my life.
```Disobedience,
Are you not lucky?God has not given up,
Even on you. ```Disobedience,
I am telling you once and for all,Do the right thing:
Look at God'sCompassion-flooded Eye.
Be the right thing:God's Forgiveness-seeker
AndGod's Fulfilment-lover.
```Disobedience,
God the Compassion whispered.You did not care to respond.
Now God the Justice thunders:"Surrender you must!
No escape!No escape!"
```Disobedience,
Yesterday God stoodIn front of you
As a street beggar.Today the same God stands
In front of youAs the Absolute Lord Commander Supreme.
```Disobedience,
God's rival you are.Do you know what God does?
In spite of knowingWho you are —
Destruction-dreamer,Destruction-lover,
Destruction-enjoyer —He claims you as His own,
Very own. ```Disobedience,
Can you not try to beGod's worthy rival
By offering Him yourIgnorance-mountain
AndIgnorance-ocean?
Can you not try to becomeHis Eternity's choicest instrument,
Him to love,Him to fulfil in His own Way?
Do not forgetThat you are of God.
Do not forgetThat you are for God
ONLY. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Disobedience, time is up!, Agni Press, 1994
