Part I — Poems 1 to 100

EB 1-100. Poems 1 to 100 were written on Pan Am Flight 100 from New York to London on June 21, 1974, in London and in Cambridge, England.

1. Why I love you

```

I love you

Because

Yours is the heart

Of an ice-melting flame.

I love you

Because

Yours is the life

Of a love-radiating sun.

I love you

Because

Yours is the soul

Of a compassion-flowing moon. ```

2. My Lord's favour

```

My Lord's favour

Has caused me tremendous worries.

I am afraid

At any moment I may lose His favour.

My Lord's disfavour

Has given me tremendous determination.

I am certain

I shall someday win His favour. ```

3. My success and my failure

```

My success has built

My ego-palace.

My failure has built

My humility-nest.

O my ego-palace,

You are my life's transcendental disgrace.

O my humility-nest,

You are my divinity's eternal rest. ```

4. Yesterday, today, tomorrow

```

Yesterday

He was open-eyed;

Therefore

God and His transcendental Vision blessed him.

Today

He is open-minded;

Therefore

God and His infinite Peace bless him.

Tomorrow

He will be open-hearted;

Therefore

God and His immortal Bliss shall bless him. ```

5. Four indefinable things

```

Four are the things

I shall never be able to define:

Heaven's endless Dream,

Earth's sleepless aspiration,

God's universal Compassion,

Man's transcendental ingratitude. ```

6. His life has failed

```

Do you know why his life has ended?

His life has ended

Because

His eyes have lost their God-smile.

Do you know why his life has failed?

His life has failed

Because

His proud arms did not surrender

To God's Knowledge-sun.

```

7. No one

```

You are asking me

To open my eyes.

Tell me, who is there to appreciate

The God-beauty of my eyes?

No one, absolutely no one.

You are asking me

To use my arms.

Tell me, who is there to appreciate

The God-duty of my arms?

No one, eternally no one.

```

8. The master

```

You be the master of your every hour.

God will definitely be the master

Of your every moment on your behalf,

Cheerfully, devotedly

And

Unconditionally.

You be the master of your soulful smile.

God will definitely be the master

Of your heart's excruciating pangs on your behalf,

Smilingly, sleeplessly

And

Unconditionally. ```

9. Your agelong hunger

```

Lord, today You are

My most distinguished guest.

Alas, how can I offer You my food,

My ignorance-night?

"Son, I am terribly hungry;

Just give Me what you have.

My cosmic hunger cares not for taste;

It cares only for food.

Soon I shall invite you to be My guest.

I shall give you My food, Nectar-flood.

Like Me, you too must not care for taste,

But for the satisfaction

Of your agelong hunger."

```

10. Man the saviour supreme

```

Be pure like the golden dawn.

You can and shall easily be

Man the seeker supreme.

Be sure like the dauntless noon.

You can and shall unmistakably be

Man the lover supreme.

Be true like the dutiful earth

And

The dutiful sun.

You can and shall eventually be

Man the saviour supreme.

```

11. O life

```

O animal life,

Be considerate and not passionate.

O human life,

Be living and not dying.

O divine life,

Be compassionate and not hesitant. ```

12. From ancient times

```

From ancient times unto this day

He has not seen a smile

That resembles his God-smile.

From ancient times unto this day

He has not felt a heart

That resembles his universal heart.

```

13. They do not have to insist

```

God does not have to insist;

He just smiles and smiles.

Man does not have to insist;

He just cries and cries.

Life does not have to insist;

It just surrenders and surrenders.

Love does not have to insist;

It just becomes and becomes. ```

14. My soul's festival

```

My heart was at my soul's festival.

My mind's sense of inferiority

Did not allow my mind to appear.

My vital's sense of superiority

Did not allow my vital to appear.

My body's sense of total unworthiness

Did not allow my body to appear.

```

15. Hours

```

The holy hour is silence-nun.

The unholy hour is sound-fun.

The human hour is God-expectation.

The divine hour is man-salvation,

Earth-perfection

And

God-satisfaction.

```

16. To see her

```

To see her in the morning

Is to be breathless with aspiration.

To see her at noon

Is to be continuous in adoration.

To see her in the evening

Is to be ceaseless in dedication. ```

17. My life's helpers

```

An ant's determination

Can save my life.

A drop's surrender

Can illumine my life.

A grain's aspiration

Can immortalise my life. ```

18. When God is happy

```

God is happy only twice:

Once when

Heaven's Vision

And

Earth's determination

Need each other;

Once when

I row my dream-boat

And

God shows me His Reality-shore. ```

19. Self-proclamations

```

My soul says:

"I am that birthless and deathless thing."

My heart says:

"I am that eternally aspiring thing."

My mind says:

"I am that forever dissatisfied thing."

My vital says:

"I am that endlessly desiring thing."

My body says:

"I am that sleeping, snoring and dreaming thing." ```

20. They wait

```

My heart waits

For the pure choice.

My soul waits

For the sure voice.

My Lord waits

For my unconditional surrender.

My life waits

For my transcendental acceptance. ```

21. Totally even

```

Lord, You and I

Are together once more;

Let us not fail this time.

Let me give You unconditionally

The cries and sighs

Of my bleeding heart;

You just give me

Your Satisfaction-smile.

Lord, this is the only way left

For us to be totally even. ```

22. Do not forsake me

```

Infinity, do not forsake me;

I love your infinite Joy.

Eternity, do not forsake me;

I love your eternal Silence.

Immortality, do not forsake me;

I love your immortal Life.

God, do not forsake me;

I love your transcendental Smile.

I really do.

```

23. My God is lonely

```

My soul is lonely.

Today, without fail,

I am going to console my soul

With my assurance-height.

My God is lonely.

Today, without fail,

I am going to console my God

With my acceptance-light. ```

24. My ignorance

```

My ignorance-heart

Will be washed in life.

My ignorance-feet

Will be washed in death.

My ignorance-dream

Will be washed in Reality:

Oneness-reality,

Perfection-reality. ```

25. One place to live

```

You want to know

Where your confusion is.

I tell you

It has only one place to live:

It is in your mental light.

You want to know

Where your aspiration is.

I tell you

It has only one place to live:

It is in your psychic light.

You want to know

Where your realisation is.

I tell you

It has only one place to live:

It is in your surrender-light.

```

26. Reality

```

My mind-thought

Has no reality.

My life-actions

Have some reality.

My perfection-surrender

Is the final Reality. ```

27. I love death

```

I love death

Because

I am renewed by death.

I love life

Because

I am inspired by life.

I love love

Because

I am energised by love.

I love God

Because

I am examined,

Perfected

And

Fulfilled by God. ```

28. Let us be alone

```

You be alone.

You are past correction.

Let him be alone.

He is above God-realisation.

Let me be alone.

My life needs correction,

My heart needs God-realisation.

```

29. You are the goal of everything

```

Your life tells me

You are the end of everything,

The final man.

I feel it is unmistakably true.

Your soul tells me

You are the goal of everything,

The universal God.

I know it is supremely true. ```

30. Voices

```

The voice of my soul

Is always energising.

The voice of my heart

Is always encouraging.

The voice of my mind

Is always discouraging.

The voice of my vital

Is always challenging.

The voice of my body

Is always trembling. ```

31. Tired and sick

```

My tears are tired

Of God's delay.

My frustrations are sick

Of earth's display.

I am tired and sick

Of my life's ignorance-clay. ```

32. Only one smile

```

Only one sigh of mine

Has the capacity

To stretch God's Compassion-net.

Only one smile of God's

Has the Infinity

To perfect and immortalise my earth-role.

```

33. Before I forget

```

Let me play with God

Before I forget.

Let me cry with the poor earth

Before I forget.

Let me fly with my flying soul

Before I forget.

Let me become

Heaven-light

And

Earth-pride

Before I forget.

```

34. My true disgrace

```

O my unguarded mouth,

You are my true disgrace.

O my unopened heart,

You are my real disgrace.

O my unfulfilled soul,

Don't hide your face.

I shall soon manifest you

With my surrender-embrace. ```

35. My silence

```

Soul, my soul,

You are my sunlit silence.

Heart, my heart,

You are my half-lit silence.

Mind, my mind,

You are my unlit silence.

Life, my life,

You are my totally unconscious silence. ```

36. The right person

```

Heaven-born freedom

I know not

Whom to share with.

Ah, I know the right person.

I shall share with my brother, man.

Earth-born bondage

I know not

Whom to share with.

Ah, I know the right person.

I shall share with my Father, God.

```

37. I have lost it

```

The smile that wins, I had;

But alas, I have lost it.

Actually, my soul has lost it.

The cry that wins, I had;

But alas, I have lost it.

Actually, my heart has lost it.

The will that wins, I had;

But alas, I have lost it.

Actually, my vital has lost it.

Alas, alas! ```

38. Not too late

```

Not too late to see a new world.

Start trying!

Not too late to create a new world.

Start crying!

Not too late to please the Absolute Supreme.

Start smiling! ```

39. Our earth-journey

```

We start our earth-journey

With a never-ending cry.

This cry is our Divinity's soul.

We end our earth-journey

With an ever-glowing smile.

This smile is our Reality's goal.

```

40. Loving

```

Loving

Is seeing;

Therefore

I try to love.

Loving

Is knowing;

Therefore

I try to love.

Loving

Is becoming;

Therefore

I try to love.

Whom do I love?

My old good Friend,

My Eternity's Supreme.

```

41. Two things to do

```

My love for God has two things to do:

It has to see God,

The eternal Beggar,

Crying for me.

It has to see God,

The eternal Emperor,

Smiling at me.

The first thing is almost being done.

It seems the second thing

Will take a very long time.

```

42. Those who believe

```

Those who believe, embrace.

What do they believe?

They believe that they are

Of God.

Those who embrace, believe.

What do they embrace?

They embrace

God's immanence,

God's permanence

And

God's transcendence.

```

43. What was and what is

```

What was, still is:

My heart's inner cry

For Infinity's Truth.

What is, shall remain so:

My surrender-life

To Eternity's Love.

He has no fear.

Yours is the soul

Of mysterious bliss;

Therefore

You are really great.

His is the heart

Of generous peace;

Therefore

He is really great.

Mine is the life

Of prosperous surrender;

Therefore

I am really great. ```

46. A mounting possibility

```

A mounting possibility:

Your God-realisation.

A mounting possibility:

Your life-transformation.

A mounting possibility:

Your oneness-manifestation.

A mounting possibility:

Your God-satisfaction.

Therefore

Lose not hope, try. ```

47. Appeals to God

```

The mind's appeal to God:

Father, do not keep the heart

Always above me.

I am also Your child.

The heart's appeal to God:

Father, do keep the soul

Always above me.

I love its satisfaction-light,

I adore its realisation-height,

I treasure its vision-might. ```

48. Two things

```

He is proud of one colossal thing:

His life's experience-tree.

Calm persistent vision

Is his soul-life.

Sweet persistent mission

Is his heart-life.

Quick persistent illusion

Is his mind-life.

Strong persistent frustration

Slow persistent destruction

Is his body-life. ```

One flame of hers

Brought down Heaven.

```

Who can save me

From the problem-game of birth?

Nobody, save and except

The God-lover in my heart.

Who can save me

From the problem-game of death?

Nobody, save and except

The God-seeker in my life. ```

52. United souls, united lives

```

Two united souls:

One soul offered

The love of perfection;

The other soul offered

The perfection of love.

Two united lives:

One life discovered

God's little flame of the finite life;

The other life discovered

God's Eternity-sun in Infinity's Smile.

```

53. Easier for him

```

Easier for him

To forget his own name

Than to surrender

The measureless pride of his mind.

Easier for him

To remember his own God-height

Than to conquer

The feeble insecurity of his heart. ```

54. Where is your perfection-home?

```

Where is your perfection-home

If not inside

Your God-smile?

Where is your satisfaction-heart

If not inside

Your selfless duty?

```

55. Ecstasy's sky

```

Ecstasy's sky,

How to climb?

Give up your desire-life.

Illumine the heart-cave

Of your aspiration-life.

```

56. Earth-hour, Heaven-hour

Unimaginable!

Far surpassing my earth-reality.

```

"Long for Heaven-descent."

My God's Will:

"Daughter, I am tired.

Replace Me!"

```

58. Height, depth, length

```

The height of silence

My soul and I knew.

The depth of sound

My life and I know.

The length of ignorance-sleep

My body and I do not know. ```

59. My life's knowledge

```

My desire-life

Knows not what vastness is.

My aspiration-life

Knows not what narrowness is.

My realisation-life

Knows what God's Compassion is.

My perfection-life

Knows what God's Forgiveness is. ```

60. My capacities

```

You want to know

The capacity of my hope?

I tell you

My hope has great capacity

To chant God's name ceaselessly.

You want to know

The capacity of my dream?

I tell you

My dream has sufficient capacity

To make me another God,

A real God. ```

```

Even now

When I think of my doubt

I am blindly confused.

Even now

When I think of my fear

I am ruthlessly bound.

Even now

When I think of my insecurity

I am shamelessly useless.

```

64. A wicked thing

```

A downright wicked thing to say:

Earth-life is not for a good man.

A downright wicked thing to do:

Withdraw deliberately from earth-life.

A downright wicked thing to become:

The man of one's own necessity. ```

65. I love your light

```

I love, I love,

I love your light

Because

Your light is my source.

I love, I love,

I love your shadow

Because

Your shadow inspires me to follow you

And reach my destined Goal.

```

66. O sweet forgiveness

```

My anxious desire

Is to have you in my own way,

My eager desire

Is to be your master-employer,

My immediate desire

Is to surpass you in every possible way,

O sweet forgiveness

Of my Eternity's ignorance. ```

67. A sudden desire

```

A sudden desire

Made him a devouring tiger.

A sudden aspiration

Made him a soaring seeker.

A sudden realisation

Made him a glowing lover. ```

68. A born dreamer

```

When he is in his body

He is a born sleeper.

When he is in his vital

He is a born fighter.

When he is in his mind

He is a born doubter.

When he is in his heart

He is a born sacrificer.

When he is in his God

He is a born dreamer. ```

69. The messages of time

```

My earth-bound time tells me

I am not ready

And I shall never be ready

For God.

God is seeing Himself through me,

God is manifesting Himself through me,

God is transcending Himself through me,

For me, for me alone.

```

70. A fool's love

```

Don't love the past.

Are you a fool?

Don't you see that the past

Has disappointed you

And

Deserted you?

Don't love the future.

Are you a fool?

Don't you see that the future

Is ignorant of you

And

Indifferent to you?

Don't love the present.

Are you a fool?

Don't you see that the present

Is not pleasing you

And

Not fulfilling you? ```

71. Life's lessons

```

Yesterday's animal life

Gave me the lesson

Of an everlasting doom.

Today's human life

Gives me the lesson

Of an everlasting gloom.

Tomorrow's divine life

Shall give me the lesson

Of an everlasting bloom.

God's Supreme Life

Shall give me the lesson

Of His ever-expanding,

Ever-loving,

Ever-fulfilling

And

Everlasting Heart-room.

```

Who is

In the land of desire?

Not I, but you

And

Your impotent stupidity.

Who is

In the land of aspiration?

Who else, if not I

And

My significant necessity.

```

74. Love is nectar

```

Insecurity

Is a subtle poison.

Doubt

Is slow poison.

Jealousy,

Is fatal poison.

Courage

Is without poison.

Love

Infinity's Smile,

Eternity's Face,

Immortality's Race.

```

75. Her way of measuring

```

She lowered her head

While measuring the height

My secret hope:

My Master will one day love me.

As his very own.

My Master will one day

Be pleased with me

In this lifetime. ```

77. Clear answers

```

Your dear question:

"Where is God?"

His clear answer:

"God is in your dream-life."

Your dear question:

"Who is God?"

His clear answer:

"God is humanity's beggar-starvation

And

Divinity's Emperor-feast." ```

78. Two dying wishes

```

A dying father's wish:

"Son, be great like me."

A dying mother's wish:

"Son, be good like me."

The dying son's reply:

"Father, I have tried to please you.

Lo, I have succeeded.

Mother, I have tried to please you.

Alas, I have sadly failed."

```

79. Repetitious lives

```

Your doubt-life,

A useless repetition.

Your fear-life,

A hopeless repetition.

Your jealousy-life,

A soulless repetition.

Your desire-life,

A Godless repetition. ```

80. No more smiles

```

You have not listened to me;

No more smiles from my lips.

You have not listened to your soul;

No more smiles from my heart.

You have not listened to God;

No more smiles from my life. ```

81. When I prayed to live

```

When I prayed to live,

My desire-comrade embraced me,

My body.

When I lived to pray,

My aspiration-compeer embraced me,

My heart.

When I lived for God-victory,

When I prayed for God-victory,

My realisation-soul embraced me,

My soul. ```

82. Earth-Mother

```

Earth-Mother, your smile

Is a perpetual dawn.

Earth-Mother, your love

Is a perpetual noon.

Earth-Mother, your blessing

Is a perpetual day. ```

83. An endless gulf

```

A mystic gulf

From silence to sound.

A yawning gulf

From faith to doubt.

An endless gulf

From desire-frustration

To aspiration-satisfaction.

```

84. Songs of man

```

The song of an obscure man:

"God is not for me."

The song of an impure man:

"I do not need God."

The song of a pure man:

"God is all Compassion."

The song of a sure man:

"I have discovered God

In the flowering of my life divine."

```

85. Two questions

```

I have two questions.

My first question:

Why am I not God?

God, either You answer

Send me someone

To answer this unanswerable question.

My second question:

Did You know, God,

That I would prove to be Your stupendous failure

Before You dreamt of creating me?

God, either You answer

Send me someone

To answer this answerable question.

```

86. Tears

```

There was a time

When my tears filled my years;

Therefore

I clearly saw God's Heart

Of infinite Beauty.

But now

My tears have empty years;

Therefore

I carry my heavy life

Of inescapable duty. ```

87. Ancient and modern splendours

```

Three are the splendours

Of the ancient world:

Faith-moon,

Concern-sky,

Sacrifice-sun.

Three are the splendours

Of the modern world:

Indifference-house,

Doubt-walls,

Suspicion-gate.

```

88. My depths

```

I like my mind-depth

Because

I have already fathomed it.

I love my heart-depth

Because

It is yet to be fully fathomed by me.

I adore my soul-depth

Because

It defies my capacity

And

Eternally remains unfathomable.

```

89. Who can escape?

```

Who can escape my cries?

No, not even Satan.

Who can escape my smiles?

No, not even the Lord Supreme.

Who can escape my command?

No, not even Death.

Who can escape my obedience?

No, not even the Vital-lord. ```

90. I have more to give

```

I have more light,

Just wait and see.

I have more light to give,

Just empty your mind and receive.

I have more love,

Just dive within.

I have more love to give,

Just smile and achieve. ```

91. My cherished possessions

```

My light is my light;

No prince of gloom can take it away from me.

No, not even Satan himself.

My ignorance is my ignorance;

No prince of wisdom can take it away from me.

No, not even the cosmic gods.

```

92. No more

```

My body's perpetual procrastination

No more can I brook.

My vital's perpetual betrayal

No more can I brook.

My mind's perpetual prevarication

No more can I brook.

My heart's perpetual hesitation

No more can I brook.

My soul's perpetual withdrawal

No more can I brook. ```

93. God is proud of him

```

He is devoted;

Therefore

God's Heart of Love

And

God's Soul of Light

Are fond of him.

He is concentrated;

Therefore

God the Creator

And

God the Creation

Are exceedingly proud of him. ```

94. He is my all

```

My world

Is his celestial smile.

My heaven

Is his terrestrial attention.

My aspiration

Is his glowing compassion.

My realisation

Is his flowing affection. ```

95. Hope's children

```

Why do you wait without hope?

If you wait without hope

In a dark abyss

Your life will always grope.

Wait with hope.

Lo, hope gives birth to

Reality's seed,

Eternity's tree,

Infinity's flower,

Immortality's fruit. ```

96. Too many Masters

```

Too many Masters.

Whom to choose?

Ah, I shall choose the one

Who has yet to realise God.

He and I will keep good company!

Too many disciples.

Whom to choose?

Ah, I shall choose the one

Who is on the verge of realisation

So that I do not have to work so hard.

```

97. The witness

```

His outer violence-sound

Has destroyed his inner world.

His Spirit's Silence-height

Has revived and immortalised

His inner world.

And who was the witness?

None but God the Justice, Himself.

```

98. Eyes

```

Eyes have their own silence.

Only a Heaven-aspiring heart

Has the capacity to love them.

Eyes have their own sound.

Only an earth-enamoured vital

Has the temerity to admire them.

```

99. A willing server

```

He is a willing server:

Far will he go,

Much will he do

For both God and man.

God will crown him

With His Blessing-heights;

Man will crown him

With his gratitude-depths. ```

100. A victory supremely decreed

```

Vital, my vital,

You have reigned for a long time.

Let the sleeping body reign

At least for a day.

Mind, my mind,

How long will you allow

The wild vital to reign?

Arise, awake!

Declare your unquestionable supremacy.

Heart, my heart,

Ignorance-mind is fast asleep.

This is the time for you to conquer

The blind and wild vital with your soul-light.

With your heart,

It is I who see through your heart.

When you see

With your eyes,

It is you who see through your eyes."

201. Sweet Heaven, my haven

```

Lord, how many years more

Have I to write earthly poems?

When will You inspire me

To write Heavenly poems?

"Poet, why do you make an absurd request?

How can you expect to write poems

That belong to Heaven?

I shall take your case into consideration

Only when you come back to Heaven."

Lord, in that case, at this very moment

I am leaving for Heaven,

Sweet Heaven, my haven.

```

202. I have a dry soul

```

I have a dry soul;

Therefore

Heaven has no concern for me.

I have a dry heart;

Therefore

Earth has no need for me.

I have a dry life;

Therefore

God hesitates to smile at me.

```

203. Burn me, O Lord

```

Burn me, O Lord,

With my teeming desires.

With my serving body. ```

```

Lord Supreme, You revealed Your Love to me

While I was in Heaven.

Now do re-reveal Your Love.

To fulfil your snow-white desire." ```

You are God's.

That is all you need."

I am sorry, but my heart-door is open

Only to God-lovers."

```

207. Your soul's accomplishments

```

You want to know who I am

And what I have of late accomplished.

Well, I am your soul.

I have recently done

Quite a few striking things:

I have forsaken your body-cage

Because

It is too dirty,

I have forsaken your vital-window

Because

It is unbearably naughty,

I have forsaken your mind-door

Because

It is very mean,

I have forsaken your heart-cave

Because

It is too weak.

```

208. All that I long for

```

Father, to please You

In Your own way

Is all that I long for.

Father, to belong to You,

Only to You,

Is all that I long for.

My representative on earth

Is all that I long for." ```

The smile of the morning-light.

My arms love

The power of the midday-height.

The silence of the night-splendour. ```

Suspicion-room,

Salvation-room.

Your body loves temptation-room;

Don't forget that!

Don't forget that!

Your mind loves suspicion-room;

Don't forget that!

Always remember that!

I bless you with My Gratitude-strength

And My Perfection-length."

```

The more I need You.

"Why, daughter, why?"

A Satisfaction-smile from You.

The more I love You.

"Why, daughter, why?"

Because I need

A Perfection-sky from You.

```

216. When I was a sea of desire

```

When I was a sea of desire

And nothing else

I was so happy

That my desire-power

Drowned God and His best daughter, Light.

When I shall be a sea of aspiration

And nothing else

I shall be so happy

That my aspiration-power

Shall drown Satan and his best daughter, Power.

```

217. You have forgotten your promise

```

"Daughter, how can you see My Truth-Face

If you keep your eyes tightly shut?

"Daughter, how can you feel My Love-Heart

If you keep your heart tightly shut?"

Father dear,

You have forgotten Your Promise.

Father sweet,

You have forgotten Your Promise.

It was You who told me

That You would open

My blind eyes and my closed heart.

My heart of aspiration

And

My life of dedication. ```

221. Pomp and wealth

```

Earth-friend,

Here is the difference

Between

Your pomp of wealth

Frightens even an emperor;

Your wealth of pomp

Is not deserved even by a beggar. ```

222. Earth's life I need

```

Earth's little, feeble life

I need

To show my supremacy-strength.

```

Father, why have You

Crushed my pride?

"Daughter, so you will mingle and dance

With the dust."

Your humility-heart

To be My victory-banner,

Your purity-life

To be My tallest mast."

```

Lord, because You have

Your infinite time for me,

I call You Father, my good Father.

```

If you love me,

Then why do you cry?

If you love the Supreme in me,

Then why do you sleep?

Has He not been knocking at your heart-door

All the time? ```

God's business, not mine.

Is acclaimed by Heaven's

Thunder-clap.

Father, do You care for my tear-sacrifice?

"No, Daughter, no!"

Father, do You care for my smile-sacrifice?

"No, Daughter, no!"

Your oneness-realisation with My Eternity's Life.

```

298. My sufferings

There was a time

When I suffered

An ocean of nothingness:

His life in his soul. ```

Of man.

301. Three are the guides

```

Three are the guides that lead us

To the stairs of hell:

Mind's doubt-poison,

Vital's jealousy-frown,

Body's ignorance-crown.

Three are the guides that lead us

To the stairs of Heaven:

Soul's love-sky,

Heart's devotion-moon,

Life's surrender-sun.

```

302. God descended

```

When he fasted,

God did not care to descend.

Slowly and steadily

God descended.

When he cried,

Immediately and unreservedly

God descended.

```

303. You want to develop power

```

You want to develop

Vision-power;

Then look upward.

You want to develop

Mission-power;

Then look forward.

You want to develop

Perfection-power;

Then look inward.

```

304. Silence reigned

```

When he died

Silence reigned in Heaven,

Silence reigned on earth.

Earth-silence

Was another name

For earth's ignorance-indifference.

Heaven-silence

Was another name

For Heaven's gratitude-pride. ```

```

Above my head

Is the illumining multitude.

Within my heart

Is the weeping multitude.

Around my body

Is the strangling multitude.

Below my feet

Is the sleeping multitude. ```

To live,

To cry

And succeed.

God gave me the light of heart

To be,

To smile

And proceed. ```

```

My life fearfully awaits

The unwanted guest:

Death.

My mind reluctantly awaits

The unexpected guest:

Man.

My heart devotedly awaits

The ever-expected guest:

God.

```

Soul-eyes are not here

In this ignorance-kingdom.

Love-heart is not here

In this ignorance-kingdom.

Life-perfection is not here

In this ignorance-kingdom.

God-satisfaction is not here

In this ignorance-kingdom. ```

309. Then and now

```

Where did I live then?

I lived between life-conception

And love-creation.

Where do I live now?

I live between world-frustration

And death-destruction.

```

310. When he is frustrated

```

His body knows not

What frustration is.

When

His vital is frustrated

When

His mind is frustrated

He blames the indifference of Heaven.

When

His heart is frustrated

He blames the forest of his weakness.

```

311. A journey to no end

```

A journey to no end

Was my animal life's destruction-journey.

A journey to no end

A journey to no end

Shall be my divine life's aspiration-journey.

A journey to no end

Shall be my God-life's manifestation-journey. ```

Let My just sincerity also speak:

You are not even worthy

Of My presence."

"Seeker, since your false sincerity is speaking,

Let My just sincerity also speak:

Your life is not even worthy

Of My consideration."

```

The clouds of my tears

Are offering me

An immortal perfection-earth.

```

Lord, bless me with a cry,

And let my cry come to You

Immediately.

Lord, bless me with a smile,

And let my smile come to You

Slowly

And

Steadily.

Lord, bless me with a surrender-heart,

And let me place my surrender-heart at Your Feet

Cheerfully,

Unreservedly

And

Unconditionally. ```

316. Only for you

```

Not for me the Ultimate Vision.

It is for you, and only for you.

Believe me, my heart-sincerity

Speaks through my mouth-receptivity.

Not in me the capacity for God-perfection.

It is for you, and only for you.

Believe me, my heart-sincerity

Speaks through my mouth-receptivity. ```

317. I am tired

```

In Heaven I am tired

Of my dream-reality.

On earth I am tired

Of my reality-dream.

In myself I am tired

Of my lasting futility.

In God I am tired

Of my undying stupidity. ```

318. I shall not resign

```

Although

I did not fulfil my task well

In Heaven,

I did not resign.

Why?

I felt God-light would eventually

Give me the needed capacity.

Although

I do not fulfil my task well

On earth,

I shall not resign.

Why ?

I feel God-Compassion will undoubtedly

Give me the promised capacity.

```

319. I sail my boat

```

In Heaven

I sail my dream-boat.

On earth

I sail my hope-boat.

In God

I sail my promise-boat.

In myself

I sail my destruction-boat. ```

Further from Light,

Nearer to night.

Further from life,

Nearer to death.

Further from God,

Further from your own reality's Self. ```

321. His soul's journey

```

An iron body-life

Brought his soul

Into the bleeding earth-heart.

A diamond heart-life

Shall return his soul

To Heaven's ecstasy-palace.

```

322. My mission, my vision

```

My mission reappears

Here on earth:

I shall fulfil God

In His own way.

My vision reappears

Here on earth:

God-light is doing everything

In and through me. ```

I need a God-shake

To come out of

My ignorance-dream.

I need a Titan-shake

My God-Promise

To the Absolute Supreme. ```

In you truth-life is unborn.

O my Heaven-life,

```

At last

My inner world is changed.

At last

My outer world is changed.

My inner world is changed

Into the cry of God-Beauty.

My outer world is changed

Into the smile of God-Duty. ```

326. Two secrets

```

O my mind,

I tell you an open secret:

Truth-life you may evade,

But

Never falsehood-breadth.

O my heart,

I tell you a sacred secret:

Falsehood-life you may evade,

But

Never truth-depth.

```

327. Son of man and son of God

```

The son of man

Is afraid of Truth-light

In Heaven.

The son of God

Is afraid of Falsehood-night

On earth.

God-compassion embraces

The son of man.

God-determination energises

The son of God. ```

328. When they open their doors

```

When

My heart-faith

Opens its door,

My truth-conviction

Comes in.

When

My mind-doubt

Opens its door,

My life's frustration-destruction

Comes in.

When

My soul-bird

Opens its door,

My Lord's God-Perfection

Comes in.

```

329. A thousand hopes

```

A thousand hopes

Embody

A thousand fearful Earth-tears.

Again,

A thousand hopes

Embody

A thousand fruitful Heaven-smiles.

```

330. Don't you feel it?

```

Mind, don't you feel

That you are totally polluted

By your impurity-elephant?

Heart, don't you feel

That you are completely rejected

By your insecurity-ant?

```

331. Which side to take

```

Night warns us

Of light's exaggerated claims

And

Impossible dreams.

Light reminds us

Of night's ignorance-poison

And

Destruction-prison.

Alas,

Our unawakened life

Knows not which side to take.

```

332. I must not deny them

```

I must not deny my body.

```

333. I am equally happy

```

In the morning

I am happy

Because

I am a visible heart-cry.

In the evening

And in the evening

I am equally happy.

```

334. My God-Life on earth

```

My God-life on earth

Is not only a perpetual possibility

But also a

God-inevitability.

Is not only a rare possibility

But also a

God-impossibility. ```

335. Divinity will crown you

You have exercised real bondage;

Therefore

Satan is proud of you,

Death is fond of you.

Now you can exercise real freedom;

Therefore

Humanity will enthrone you,

Die to the fullest.

So says fast-approaching

And

Life-devouring

Death.

```

I was deaf to God,

Thinking that I could easily challenge

His omnipotent Power.

But

I was all ears to God,

Knowing perfectly well

His transcendental and universal

Love.

```

345. Who is Who?

```

Who is Who?

God is man's eternal slave,

Man is God's eternal Dream.

And who am I?

I am the eternal cry

And

The eternal smile

Of God-silence.

```

346. Something is bound to happen

My surrender-light

To Father-Heaven. ```

347. What I expected

```

Do you know

What I expected

From my earth-life?

I expected an unmistakable chance

To challenge Heaven's Crown.

Do you know

What I expected

From my Heaven-life?

To challenge ignorance-frown.

I shall always energise you.

Body, my body, sigh no more.

From now on

349. You

```

The outer world feels

You are a saint of perfection.

The inner world knows

You are a prince of deception.

God declares

You are His Dream-fulfilling preparation. ```

350. I have taught

```

I have taught

My heart to sing God-songs.

Look how soulfully

My heart is singing!

I have taught

My mind to dream God-dreams.

Look how beautifully

My mind is dreaming!

My vital to fight God-battles.

Look how dauntlessly

My vital is fighting!

My body to serve God-life.

Look how devotedly

My body is serving! ```

351. O Ignorance

```

O Ignorance,

You do not have a heart.

Try to have a heart.

It will awaken and inspire you.

O Ignorance,

You do not have a soul.

Try to have a soul.

O Ignorance,

You do not have a mind.

You do not need one either.

Alas, what you have

Is a strangling vital

And

A sleeping body. ```

352. What I care for

```

I do not care

What earth thinks of me.

I do not care

What Heaven thinks of me.

I do not care

What even God thinks of me.

But

I do care for earth-transformation,

I do care for Heaven-expansion,

I do care for God-manifestation. ```

353. The message of knowledge and wisdom

```

His knowledge-experience declares:

Each woman is a flood of temptation.

Her knowledge-experience declares:

Each man is a flood of aggression.

His wisdom-life whispers:

Each woman is wanting in God-realisation.

Her wisdom-life whispers:

Each man is wanting in God-perfection. ```

354. If you believe

```

Be careful

If you believe

In the power of the mind.

It will instigate you

To see night in Light.

Be not forgetful

If you believe

In the power of the heart.

It will inspire you

To transform night-cave into Light-palace.

```

Helplessness of ages

You are bound to feel

If you live in the body.

Aggressiveness of ages

You are bound to feel

If you live in the vital.

Blindness of ages

You are bound to feel

If you live in the mind.

Fruitfulness of ages

You are bound to feel

If you live in the heart.

Ah, my soulful heart!

Who else can be?

Nobody! ```

367. Two hosts

```

When my vital

Was a host to Ignorance,

I felt and saw how generous I was.

God's transcendental Music

In His own Room. ```

His ant-will to God's Elephant-Will.

```

```

Orders are lovely and gracious things

When they come from God.

Why?

God orders me

Because He loves me,

Because He wants to perfect me.

Orders are clever and dangerous things

When they come from man.

Why?

Man orders me

To quench his own quenchless thirst,

To feed his own sleepless hunger. ```

At long last

My heart-belief has conquered

Excess of blindness carried him

To the stone world

Where he belonged.

Excess of helplessness carried him

To the plant world

Where he belonged.

Excess of aggressiveness carried him

To the animal world

Where he belonged.

In the human world

Where he belongs.

"As long as she knows that she is of Me,

She does not need a mind.

She can do without a mind."

God illumines her with His latest invention:

"As long as he knows that he is for Me,

He does not need a heart.

He can do without a heart." ```

404. The modern Yogis

```

Every ancient Yogi

Concentrated, meditated, contemplated

And

Realised God.

Every modern Yogi

Has revealed

And

Manifested God.

Now, what more remains?

Just one thing:

God-realisation.

Every ultra-modern Yogi

Has succeeded in becoming

A multimillionaire.

Now he has to succeed only in one more thing:

He has to see the entire humanity

Kiss the dust of his feet

Eternally.

```

Because

You have given me what you really have:

Nectar, immortalising Nectar.

```

Heart, I am really sick

Of your credulity-song.

For my sake, for God's sake,

Of your futility-lecture.

For my sake, for God's sake,

Stop lecturing.

If you do not stop lecturing

I shall lose all my divinity. ```

True,

You have not written

Any masterpiece,

But I tell you,

Any masterpiece,

But I tell you,

Your life-dedication, without fail,

Is God's Masterpiece. ```

411. My dry soul

```

You are a tiny heart-world.

Who made you?

The world-aspiration

And

God-compassion.

```

414. My soul survives

```

Why does my soul survive?

It survives

Because it knows

It is of God-transcendence

And

It is for God-immanence.

Why does my body fail to survive?

It fails to survive

Because it thinks

It is of ignorance-night

And

It is for pleasure-height. ```

415. My heart-hopes have fooled me

My heart-hopes have fooled me,

My mind-dreams have fooled me.

My earth-achievements have disappointed me,

My Lord's Heaven-promises have disappointed me. ```

I teach my sighs

How to smile.

A disciplined body,

A dynamic vital,

An awakened mind,

A liberated heart,

An all-loving soul

And

An unquestionably real God.

```

419. Your eye

```

My body-life

Is afraid of your fixed eye.

My vital-life

Is afraid of your fiery eye.

My mind-life

Is afraid of your tranquil eye.

But

My heart-life

Is not afraid of you,

Not even of your trance-eye.

```

When my world is in the mind

I think I love God

More than God loves me.

When my world is in the heart

I feel God loves me

More than I love Him.

When my world is in the soul

I know,

Because God has taught me,

How to love Him

Equally,

Eternally

And

Supremely. ```

423. Voices

```

If you live in the mind-cave

The voice of your soul-life;

You cannot and will not hear

The voice of your ever-transcending Self.

```

424. Another chance

```

I am tired of this world.

The world is tired of me.

What shall we do?

Perhaps we should give each other

One with the flow of your life.

"Seeker, my seeker,

This time I shall unconditionally surrender

To your soul-glow."

```

I give birth to thunder-noise

When I challenge the pride

Of ignorance-night.

I give birth to silence-voice

When I sleep in the heart

Of my aspiration-light.

```

426. Action is freedom

```

Live in the vital.

There action is freedom.

Live in the soul.

There action is freedom.

But

Your vital-freedom

Leads you into destruction-night,

While

Your soul-freedom

Elevates you into God's transcendental Height. ```

427. Your history

```

Your body-history

You do not know.

Your vital history

You have forgotten.

Your mind-history

Disheartens you.

Your heart-history

Inspires you.

Your soul-history

Satisfies you. ```

```

I am totally lost.

My earth-time is perishing,

My Heaven-time is ignoring,

My God-time is sleeping. ```

429. The only way

```

I use my surrender-light

To see the Face of God.

His faith in his soul's aspiration.

```

Dream not of any other world;

This world really loves you.

Think not of Heaven-God;

Who is Heaven-God?

Promise.

Who is earth-God?

Hope. ```

```

He is always attacked

By Heaven-how

And

Earth-why. ```

In God's vast creation

Only three things I really like:

God's perfect forgiveness,

```

His vital says to him:

"God-realisation is as easy

As lying to children;

His mind says to him:

"God-realisation is as difficult

As climbing the Himalayas;

Therefore

It is beyond your capacity to perform

Such a difficult task." ```

467. Enjoying my company

```

When I had a face

Without a heart,

The animal-kingdom

Deeply enjoyed my company.

Shall deeply enjoy my company. ```

Love the world;

This evening you will be beside the immortals

God-perfection

Gifts. ```

604. Ignorance

```

Simple ignorance:

I am for myself.

Complex ignorance:

I am of ignorance-night.

Treacherous and dangerous ignorance:

God is not for me. ```

605. Are we not even?

```

The sweet bonds of remembrance:

You gave me, Lord,

Your supreme Treasure:

Compassion.

I gave You, Lord,

My supreme treasure:

Surrender.

Are we not even?

```

I am afraid of you.

Divine fate,

I am fond of you.

Human fate,

You remind me

Of the things I cannot do,

Which are far beyond my capacity.

Divine fate,

You tell me

That nothing is beyond my capacity,

Absolutely nothing,

For I am of God-Height

And

For God-Depth.

```

608. Earth's glance, Heaven's glance

```

Earth's hurtful glance

Has tortured me,

My body,

My life,

My all.

Alas, I know not

When and how or even why

Heaven's soulful glance

Will liberate me from my ignorance-body-life

And manifest me

In my wisdom-soul-life.

```

609. It is high time

```

Hope, sleep no more;

You have slept for a long time.

It is high time for you

To open your eyes.

Doubt, work no more;

You have worked for a long time.

It is high time for you

To close your eyes. ```

610. Why do You hide?

```

God, why do You hide?

"I hide because

You are afraid of My infinite Love-power.

I also hide because

I want you to use

Your aspiration-light

And make Me supremely proud of you."

```

611. Daughter, such a long delay

```

"Daughter, such a long delay.

How do you account for it?"

I am embarrassed, Father.

I was having a heart-to-heart talk

With ignorance-night.

"Ignorance-night?

God bless you,

Since I dare not bless you." ```

612. Father, such a long delay

```

Father, such a long delay.

How do You account for it?

May I know?

"Certainly you may, My daughter.

I am sorry and embarrassed to say

That for a long time I have been living

In My Justice-Room,

And

Not in my Compassion-Palace."

```

By humanity.

You do not love God,

You are useless.

You do not need God,

You are worse than useless.

Because

God loves you,

One day He will make you useful.

Because

God needs you,

One day He will make you more than useful.

And I tell you,

That golden day

Is fast approaching. ```

```

Unlike others,

I have two hearts:

A hiding heart

And

A crying heart.

My hiding heart shall feed

My earth-curiosity.

My crying heart shall feed

My Heaven-necessity.

```

616. When I wait for God

```

When I wait for God

He may delay and delay,

But finally He comes;

He at least comes.

But when I wait for man

He simply never comes,

And he never will.

```

```

God's Heart

May be big for humanity,

But not for me.

I tell you why:

I have easily concealed it,

I can easily reveal it.

Something more

(This time I shall have to tell

You in a whispering voice):

I shall reveal

God's Heart to you

Only to perfect you,

Fulfil you.

```

619. His own friend and enemy

```

When he failed to serve God,

When he failed to love God,

When he failed to meditate on God,

He was felled by his own

Earth-generous friend: doubt

And his own Heaven-treacherous enemy: doubt.

Alas, alas!

```

620. Too weak

```

Too weak to watch

God-Smile,

Too weak to feel

Too weak to achieve

Inner cry.

I proudly claim

I am of God

And

I am for God.

When I was complete

In desire-life.

There was a time

When I was complete

The philosopher in him knows

All about Heaven-capacity

And

Earth-possibility,

But does not know

What is inside his heart-room.

The poet in him can tell you

All about God,

But he can never correctly tell you

Where God is.

The lover in him does not want to know

Who God is

And

Where God is;

It is enough for him

That God really is. ```

Yesterday I saw

The same Compassion-God

If you think

That God comes down and immediately

If you feel

That this life gains an experience

Of God-Light

In the heart of God-Universality

When it dies. ```

677. A great Light-distributor

Nobody!

Who believes

In his God-realising aspiration?

Nobody!

Indeed, this is fate.

Needless to say

God's Pride is for him,

For him alone. ```

679. The Himalayan ignorance-crest

```

If you aspire and then die,

Your life enjoys purposeful rest.

If you desire and then die,

Your life becomes a purposeless rest.

If you desire only to live

An animal life

A human life,

Then you are living

On the Himalayan ignorance-crest. ```

680. A God-sound

```

No joy in a slow sound,

No joy in a quick sound,

I admire

The God-necessity in your life.

```

683. I feel really sorry for you

```

Your heart-purity is snared

By the ignorance-world.

I feel really sorry for you.

Your mind-clarity is ridiculed

By the ignorance-world.

I feel really sorry for you.

Your vital-temerity is despised

By the ignorance-world.

I feel really sorry for you.

Your body-humility is misunderstood

By the ignorance-world.

I feel really sorry for you.

```

684. God is all gratitude

```

God gave me a receptive life.

Therefore

I am all gratitude to him.

I gave God a deceptive smile.

Yet

God is all gratitude to me.

He says

At least I have given Him something.

There are countless souls on earth

Who have given Him

And will give Him

Nothing.

```

685. Your golden today

```

Don't be a liar!

Your yesterday was never golden.

Don't be a fool!

Your tomorrow can never be golden.

Be sincere, be wise!

Your today is unmistakably

And supremely golden.

```

686. The plunge

Fruitless sound-prosperity.

My soul-reality

Has plunged in God's

Fruitful Silence-divinity.

```

I have no need

For a sweet tongue.

My heart is enough.

I have no need

For a brilliant mind.

My heart is enough.

I have no need

For two strong arms.

My heart is enough.

I have no need

For two seeing eyes.

My heart is enough.

```

688. Weeping

```

Yesterday I wept

Because

I was not realised.

Today I weep

Because

I have not yet manifested God.

Tomorrow I shall weep

Because

I shall have failed to fulfil my

God-ordained tasks. ```

689. I am caught

```

I am caught by an animal.

Therefore

I am ruthlessly commanded to surrender.

I am caught by man.

Therefore

I am unconditionally forced to offer.

I am caught by God.

Therefore

I am lovingly asked to love.

Why?

Because God wants me to become another God.

Why?

Because He wants me to be

His main partner

In His cosmic Game.

```

690. Too proud

```

He was too proud to die,

He was too proud to live.

God said to him:

"Since you do not want to die,

You may as well

Work for me on earth.

Since you do not want to live,

You may as well

Sleep all day and night."

```

691. The saga of my prayer

```

The saga of my prayer:

My prayer secretly comes down

From God-Compassion

And openly enters into the field

And

My evening prayer is for world-perfection. ```

At the end of my morning service. ```

695. Chaos grows thick

```

Chaos grows thick

As my body snores.

Chaos grows thicker

As my vital roars.

Chaos grows thickest

As my mind doubts.

Chaos grows thicker than the thickest

As my heart shouts. ```

696. In the painted world

```

In the painted world

Who wants to live

Indefinitely?

Not I, at least!

In the painted world

Who does not want to play

The role of a saviour?

Needless to say,

I volunteer myself to be

The first saviour. ```

697. Supreme command, supreme prayer

```

O my mind's doubt-life,

Leave me immediately.

Indeed,

This is my supreme command.

O my life's surrender-light,

Guide me, guide me.

Indeed,

This is my supreme prayer.

```

Proceeds

And

Transcends.

Every dedication-moment of mine

Adds a new lustre-soul

To God-Beauty.

Every perfection-moment of mine

```

Two are the darlings of Heaven:

Light and Delight.

Two are the darlings of God:

You and I.

But you must never breathe

This secret supreme to anyone. ```

In my prayer.

I pray only to my Lord Supreme.

```

702. To deny their existence

```

Do you want to deny

The existence of death?

Then start loving the heart of light.

Do you want to deny

The existence of Satan?

Then start becoming another God.

```

703. A seat for death

```

In my soul-room

There is no seat for death.

In my heart-room

There is a seat for death.

But very often my heart

Does not allow death

To occupy its seat.

And what does my mind do?

My mind just welcomes death

And offers him any seat he desires. ```

704. What matters?

```

What matters if I stand alone

And challenge the pride of falsehood?

Nothing!

What matters if I stand alone

And drink deep earth-poison?

Nothing!

What matters if I stand alone

And wait for God's Hour?

Nothing, absolutely nothing!

```

705. Four divine servants

```

Simplicity

Washes his body.

Sincerity

Cleanses his heart.

Purity

Purifies his breath.

Duty

Immortalises his life. ```

706. How can I?

```

How can I teach the world

When it is so ignorant?

How can I feed the world

When it is not hungry?

How can I love the world

When it treasures ignorance? ```

707. Paths to God

```

What is Life divine

If not a straight path to God?

What is Light divine

If not a sunlit path to God?

What is Love divine

If not a straight, sunlit short cut,

A supreme short cut

To God? ```

708. Partners

```

Who are you?

You are God's silent partner.

Who is he?

He is God's active partner.

Who am I?

I am God's sleeping partner.

Who is God?

A Reality-fulfilling Dreamer. ```

709. Three visions of Christ

```

In his Humility

I saw Father Joseph's little son.

In his Compassion

I saw Mother Mary's big son.

In his Perfection

I saw his Heaven-Father's Smile. ```

710. He loves his dreams

```

He loves his dreams

Because

They are thriving.

He loves his realities

Because

They are crying.

He loves his God

Because

He is always transcending.

```

711. Desires unfulfilled

```

Desires unfulfilled,

He dared to fling defiance at God.

Desires unfulfilled,

He trained himself in the denial of God.

Desires unfulfilled,

He at once became

God-indifference

And

Man-indifference.

```

712. Alone with the Master

```

When you are alone with your Master,

You are not happy.

You feel sad that nobody is there

To appreciate you,

To admire you,

To consider you exceptional.

When you are in a group with your Master,

You are not happy.

You feel sad that you have to share

Your Master's presence with others,

His smile with others.

You are one of the many,

And in no way exceptional.

```

713. Your inner sun

```

Earth has allures,

Earth has mirages.

Be careful.

Are you looking for your

Own safeguard against

The aggression of your vital,

The suspicion of your mind,

The disintegration of your heart?

Then invoke your inner sun.

Your inner sun will offer you

Its clear shining.

It will, without fail,

Immortalise you.

```

714. Your unflinching adherence

```

You want to embody me,

You want to reveal me,

You want to manifest me.

But how will you do all that?

By your unflinching adherence

To truth-silence,

To love-oneness.

```

715. I shall do it for you

```

Daughter,

You do not have to think;

I shall do the thinking for you.

You do not have to pray;

I shall do the praying for you.

You do not have to meditate;

I shall do the meditating for you.

You do not have to surrender;

I shall do the surrendering for you.

I shall do everything for you.

Just give Me a smile,

A soulful smile every day. ```

716. Your Heaven

```

Daughter,

Your Heaven is on earth.

Your Heaven is not a song-life,

Your Heaven is not a dance-life.

Your Heaven is your heart's oneness-life with Me.

Your Heaven is in your acceptance

Of God-light from Me.

Your Heaven is your real 'I'

In Me.

```

717. Where our danger lies

```

Where does your danger lie?

Your danger lies in your self-importance.

Where does his danger lie?

His danger lies in his pleasure-indulgence.

Where does my danger lie?

My danger lies in my world-rejection. ```

718. Whom to blame?

```

Why do you blame your circumstances?

Why do you blame others?

Why do you blame God?

You can blame and criticise

Only one person,

And indeed,

That person is you,

The ignorance-feeding

Dissatisfaction in you.

```

719. You fail to claim God

```

You have seen God.

Therefore

You want to see God again.

You have loved God.

Therefore

You want to love God again.

You have surrendered to God.

Therefore

You want to surrender to God again.

But you have not done one thing:

You have not claimed God.

Therefore

You fail to claim God now.

Try to claim God;

Lo, God is proclaiming you. ```

720. What you need

```

You do not need the trophy

Of your life-victory.

You do not need the appreciation

Of your life-story.

You do not need the recognition

Of your earth-bravery.

What you constantly need

Is your soul-flower.

What you breathlessly need

Is your heart-fragrance. ```

721. In your case, in my case

```

Twice my sincerity

Unreservedly speaks:

In your case,

It has taken you countless years

To learn some spiritual truths.

In my case,

Not some, but all spiritual truths

Come in a flash of glorious revelation.

You may verify this with God.

I do not mind at all. ```

722. Easy lessons

```

When we deny God,

When we betray God,

He teaches us no easy lesson.

When we love God,

When we serve God,

He teaches us all easy lessons.

How?

Just by making all lessons easy,

Including even

Our God-realisation lesson. ```

723. God is listening

```

God is listening;

Just speak quietly.

God is listening;

Just speak devotedly.

Believe me,

God is not and cannot be deaf

To your heart-longing.

His Compassion-perfection

Has caught the very first faint cry

From your oneness-heart.

God is listening;

Just speak quietly and devotedly. ```

724. We are happy

```

You are happy

Because

You share with God

All the happenings,

Little and big,

In your life.

He is happy

Because

He loves God

Untiringly and unconditionally.

I am happy

Because

I have a real need for God.

```

725. My supreme life

```

I pray and God grants:

Indeed, this is my human life.

I am of God and I am for God:

Indeed, this is my divine life.

I have and God is:

Indeed, this is my supreme life. ```

726. The immediate assurance

```

I have seen the heart-tears

Of my sorrow-flooded life.

I also know that

Light-flooded God-Life

Is awaiting me —

The immediate assurance

Of my acceptance of God-Love.

```

727. A truly willing guest

```

When my Lord Supreme

Is a truly willing guest,

He brings with Him His matchless treasure:

Compassion to me, His host.

When I am a truly willing guest,

I carry with me my long-forgotten treasure,

In fact, my only treasure:

Gratitude to God, my Host. ```

728. He came to God

```

He came to God

With his business-filled days.

Yet

God-joy claimed him unreservedly.

God said: "Ah, My son has come at last."

He came to God

With his pleasure-filled nights.

Yet

God-joy claimed him immediately.

God said: "Ah, My long-lost son

Has come.

Today I am really complete."

```

729. I knock, I plead, I cry

```

I knock

Because

My sweet Lord

Has once shown me His Heart-Door.

I plead

Because

My sweet Lord

Has once shown me His Soul-Room.

I cry

Because

My sweet Lord

Has once shown me His Silence-Throne. ```

730. The link

```

Father, I know who You are,

But I wish to hear it from You.

Do tell me who You are.

"Daughter, I am the link

Between

Your head and feet."

Father, I know who I am,

But I wish to hear it from You.

Do tell me who I am.

"Daughter, you are the link

Between

My Heaven-vision and Me,

My earth-mission and Me."

```

731. My bosom-friends

```

Varieties and separativities:

These are my bosom-friends

In my earth-existence.

Eternity and its trance,

Infinity and its smile,

Immortality and its life:

These are my bosom-friends

In my Heaven-existence.

```

732. My partner

```

God, I need Your help only twice.

Please don't forget to help me.

When I live in ignorance-night

I wish You to remain with me

As my silent partner;

And when I want to leave ignorance-night

I wish You to be my

Active,

Dynamic

And

Victory-winning partner.

```

733. Old story, new story

```

The story of my soul-sea

Is a very old story.

Therefore

My Lord Supreme does not want

To hear it anymore.

The story of my body-drop

Is absolutely a new story.

Therefore

My Lord Supreme is sleeplessly

Dying to hear it from me.

```

734. God has dawned

```

God has dawned on my chaos-life;

Therefore,

From now on His cosmos

Shall remain perfection-light,

And my cry has found

A footpath to my world-peace,

My world-bliss.

```

735. The Throne of God-Compassion

```

He sees the Throne of God-Truth.

Alas,

It is too high for him.

He sees the Throne of God-Light.

Alas,

It is too high for him.

He sees the Throne of God-Silence.

Alas,

It is too high for him.

He sees the Throne of God-Compassion.

Ah,

It is within his easy climb.

Lo, how unreservedly and perfectly he is enjoying

The blue-white

Throne of God-Compassion. ```

736. Bewilderment

```

My soul is bewildered

When it sees my earth-ignorance.

My body is bewildered

When it sees my Heaven-plenitude.

My love of God is not bewildered

Even when it sees

The Infinitude of God.

```

737. Immortal dawns, Immortal nights

```

Immortal dawns

Of supreme excellence

I enjoyed with God in Heaven,

Unreservedly and unconditionally.

Alas,

Here on earth

Ignorance-sea has forced me to enjoy

Immortal nights

Of perpetual destruction-death.

O Compassion-Lord Supreme,

Where are You,

Where am I? ```

738. I weep

```

I weep for man's sake

Because

Man never learns,

Man never surrenders.

I weep for God's sake

Because

He has no other choice

Than to confide in me

The failure of His earth-promise.

```

739. My earth is Heaven

```

My earth is Heaven

When my heart is all gratitude

To You, my beloved Lord Supreme.

My Heaven is earth

When I do not offer You,

My beloved Supreme,

My earth-transforming promise. ```

740. If tomorrow fails me

```

Yesterday failed me.

Therefore

My eye was on today.

Today is failing me.

Therefore

My eye is on tomorrow.

If tomorrow also fails me,

Like yesterday and today,

Then my eye shall be

On the Eternal Now.

Who is whispering?

Ah, my sweet Lord.

What is He whispering about?

He is offering me His Confidence-assurance. ```

741. Why so cruel?

```

Yesterday,

Why are you so cruel?

Why have you thrown yourself

Against my poor today?

Today,

Why are you so undivine?

Why are you throwing yourself

Against my poor tomorrow?

O human in me,

Why are you so stupid?

Why don't you throw yourself

Into God's eagerly awaiting

Compassion-Illumination-Sea?

```

742. A high wall

```

Man has raised a high wall

Between

Man and man.

God has built a solid bridge

Between

Man and God.

And I have established a powerful link

Between

My animal destruction

And my human frustration. ```

743. Three immortal friends

```

On earth I have not one,

But three immortal friends:

Doubt, insecurity and despair.

In Heaven I have not one,

But three immortal friends:

Dream-boat, Confidence-soul, Promise-shore. ```

744. The manager

```

He knelt.

Therefore

God blessed him.

He wept.

Therefore

God embraced him.

He prayed.

Therefore

God employed him.

He surrendered.

Therefore

God made him the manager

Of His cosmic Factory. ```

745. His Heaven-palace

```

Death struck

His earth-home

When he forgot to pray.

But God built

His Heaven-palace

With His Compassion-Ray. ```

746. Two rarities

```

You are a Master

Rarer than radium.

I am a seeker

Rarer than radium.

God is the Forgiver

Of my blind folly

And

Your wild treachery. ```

747. On Earth, in Heaven

```

On earth

I am a prisoner

Of animal wants

And

Human needs.

In Heaven

I am a darer

Of God-vision

And

God-satisfaction.

```

748. My Heaven-smile

```

My Heaven-smile

Silenced my earth-cry

When it became too loud.

My earth-dedication

Fed my Heaven-dream

When it became too hungry.

```

749. Our fate

```

You sail out to reach the shore

You are meant to reach.

He sails out to miss the shore

He is meant to miss.

I sail out to die;

I am meant to die. ```

750. Because you cried yesterday

```

Because

You cried yesterday,

Today you can smile.

Because

You are smiling today,

Tomorrow you, and nobody else,

Shall bring down

The Kingdom of Heaven

On earth

For God to enjoy His earth-rest

And man to enjoy his life-nourishing

Peace-nest. ```

751. Into the life of perfection-love

```

My desire-life plunged

Into the life of destruction-sound.

My aspiration-life plunges

Into the life of satisfaction-silence.

My realisation-life shall plunge

Into the life of perfection-love. ```

752. New creation, new creator

```

I don't want beauty,

I want power.

I don't want power,

I want love.

I don't want love,

I want light.

I don't want light,

I want God.

I don't want God,

I want a new creation

With the new creator: C.K.G.

```

753. Because of you two

```

Morality, you are too narrow,

Too limited.

Spirituality, you are too rigid,

Too strict.

Because of you two

My sweet beloved Supreme

Has become too compassionate,

Too indulgent. ```

754. A more sincere student

```

Although

God does not love me,

I love God.

Although

God does not need me,

I need God.

I am sure one day God will realise

His sad folly

And start loving me and needing me,

Perhaps as a more sincere student

Than I am.

```

755. Loud questions, silent answers

```

Earth's loud question:

Does God exist?

My loud question:

Is God alive?

Heaven's silent answer to earth:

God does exist,

But

Not for you.

Heaven's silent answer to me:

God is alive,

But

Not in you. ```

756. The heart of tempting future

```

The animal in me tells me

How powerful I shall be.

The human in me tells me

How soulful I shall be.

The divine in me tells me

How fruitful I shall be.

Alas, I am doomed to live

In the heart of tempting future. ```

757. Our two signatures

```

Your signature embodies

Earth-aspiration.

My signature embodies

Heaven-compassion.

Don't think I am proud.

Only one thing

I want you to know:

If I don't dare to be sincere

To you,

Who else will and who else can? ```

758. Claims

```

Day-king claims my eyes

To be of service to him.

Night-queen claims my heart

To be of service to her.

I claim my life

To be of service to God-Dream

And

Man-transformation. ```

759. Perpetual failure

```

I dream of nothing else

But a perpetual morning.

I see nothing else

But a perpetual evening.

I am nothing else

But a perpetual failure. ```

760. The marathon of my fears

```

Lord, my fears are tired.

They need some rest,

They deserve some rest.

I hope You agree with me

Totally.

If not, my fears shall continue

To run their endless marathon.

```

761. One step ahead

```

My aspiration-dreams

Have cancelled

My desire-dreams.

Therefore

I am happy with my life

At long last.

My Lord Supreme

Is one step ahead.

Behold, He is mightily proud of me.

```

762. Creation-power

```

Man-power

Wants to create a new universe.

God-power

Wants to create a new man.

My power

Wants to create

A strict God

And

A perfect man.

```

763. Before God's Feet

```

Before God's kind Heart

I am half-stone.

Before God's strong Arms

I am half-animal.

Before God's clear Eye

I am half-human.

Before God's compassionate and forgiving Feet,

I must say, I am more than half-divine. ```

764. Wings

```

Satan claims to have

Imperious wings.

Heaven claims to have

Precious wings.

Earth claims to have

Generous wings.

God refuses to claim

His gracious Wings. ```

765. I know, I know

```

I know, I know

He is the only ideal of my life.

I know, I know

He is the only thing real in my life.

I know, I know

His Compassion-smile

Is my Eternity's all.

```

766. My armour

```

My faith in God

Was my yesterday's armour

Against world-temptation.

My patience in God

Is my today's armour

Against world-aggression.

My surrender to God

Shall be my tomorrow's armour

Against world-destruction.

```

767. Be careful where you joke

```

Be careful!

Don't joke at earth's gate.

Earth will bind you and blind you.

Be careful!

Don't joke at Heaven's gate.

Heaven may not accept you,

Heaven may not bless you.

Be careful!

Don't joke at God's Gate.

He may employ you to guard His Gate,

He may burden you with all

His endless responsibilities.

```

768. Earth-time, Heaven-time

```

When earth-time sings,

I cry and cry.

I have failed, and no time is left.

When Heaven-time sings,

I cry and cry.

True, I have failed

And I am extremely tired,

But

Cruel Heaven-time

Neither discharges me

Nor grants me any rest.

```

769. I have discovered

```

Man's unconditional cry

I have felt.

God's unrevealed Smile

I have seen.

God's unmanifested Love

I have discovered. ```

770. This time I shall not forget

```

This time I shall not forget

To ask my morning-brother to give me

His beautiful eyes as a gift.

This time I shall not forget

To ask my noon-father to give me

His powerful arms as a gift.

This time I shall not forget

To ask my evening-mother to give me

Her peaceful heart as a gift.

```

771. I hope one day

```

Earth-sincerity meditates with me.

Therefore

I hope to see

One day

God's Face.

Earth-dedication meditates with me.

Therefore

I hope to be

One day

In God's Heart.

```

772. My songs

```

My earth-songs

Devotedly find me.

My Heaven-songs

Soulfully illumine me.

My God-songs

Triumphantly immortalise me. ```

773. The heart that cannot fail

```

His is the tongue

That cannot tell lies.

His is the life

That cannot ignore.

His is the mind

That cannot deceive.

His is the heart

That cannot fail. ```

774. The empty heart of night

```

When I am one

With the empty heart of night,

I offer her God's Heaven-light.

When I am one

With the heavy heart of night,

I offer her God's earth-sacrifice.

```

775. His Eternity's goal-manifestation

```

HIS ETERNITY'S GOAL-MANIFESTATION

His Eternity's voyage-dedication

Is good.

His Eternity's pilgrim-realisation

Is better.

His Eternity's goal-manifestation

Is still unpredicted,

Nay, undecided.

```

776. Our fate

```

Slowly you glowed

But

Quickly you sank.

Alas, that is your fate.

Do you want to know

What my fate is?

I never glowed

And never shall.

I have been sinking and sinking.

Do you know when I started sinking?

Long before the birth of Time.

```

777. Heart and soul

```

The heart is better

Than the mind.

The mind knows it

But

It does not want to admit it.

The soul is better

Than the heart.

The heart knows it

And admits it.

Plus,

It takes great pride

In the sublime achievements

Of its ever-loving superior. ```

778. An iota of will

```

I do not need

Factory-thoughts

To help me

In my self-discovery.

I need only

An iota of will

For my self-discovery,

God-victory

And

Earth-mastery. ```

779. See if I am right

```

Who says

Ignorance-life is

Beyond transformation?

Not true!

If you do not believe me,

Just enter into my past-room

And see if I am right.

Who says

God-discovery is

Beyond realisation?

Not true!

Just enter into my present-palace

And see if I am right. ```

780. They shield my life

```

My God-faith shields my life

From despair-tornado.

My soul-faith shields my life

From doubt-clouds.

My heart-faith shields my life

From jealousy-frowns. ```

781. His decay

```

When

He and doubt became good friends

His earth-aspiration decayed,

His Heaven-satisfaction decayed,

His God-compassion decayed,

His heart-perfection decayed. ```

782. God-forgiveness

```

Ugliness is his inner life,

Deceitfulness is his outer life.

God-forgiveness transforms

His inner life

And

God-forgiveness perfects

His outer life.

```

783. Warnings to pride

```

O proud mind,

Be careful!

Humiliation is chasing you.

O proud vital,

Be careful!

Destruction is nearing you.

O proud body,

Be careful!

Ignorance-tiger is observing you.

```

784. In God's Compassion-world

```

In God's Compassion-world,

My heart-cry

And

God's Love-smile

Together meet.

In God's Compassion-world,

My surrender-ascent

And

God's Immortality-descent

Together meet.

```

785. Why to worship you

```

Just because

You have realised God

I do not have to worship you.

Just because

You are revealing God

I do not have to worship you.

Just because

You are manifesting God

I do not have to worship you.

Just because

You love me more

Than I love myself

I shall worship you soulfully,

My heart shall worship you eternally,

My soul shall worship you unconditionally. ```

786. Even while dying

```

Even while dying

He was praying to Heaven

For world-transformation.

Even while dying

He was praying to earth

For earth-satisfaction.

Even while dying

He was praying to God

For death-illumination.

```

787. My Master

```

My Master knew me imperfect,

Yet

His heart loved me.

My Master knew me unworthy,

Yet

His soul blessed me.

My Master knew me ignorant,

Yet

His life embraced me.

```

788. When I surrender

```

When I pray

I discover my long-lost God-Height.

When I meditate

I discover my long-lost God-Depth.

When I surrender

I discover my long-sought God-Satisfaction. ```

789. My death is irreparable

```

Your death is inconceivable.

Only Heaven is aware of it.

His death is incomparable.

Only death is aware of it.

My death is irreparable.

Friends, do not mind!

At times I allow my pride-horse

To play its usual role. ```

790. Climb down, climb up

```

Heaven climbed down

To measure his feet.

Earth climbed up

To measure her head.

I climb up to assist

Earth in her aspiration-flight.

I climb down to assist

Heaven in his dedication-dive. ```

791. A bright affirmer of God-Love

```

Yesterday

Made your mind a dark denier

Of God-Love.

Today

Your heart has made you a bright affirmer

Of God-Love.

Tomorrow

Your soul shall make you grow

Into the ever-illumining God-Love.

```

792. My different lives

```

Heart-joy

Is my embracing life.

Mind-peace

Is my spreading life.

Vital-dynamism

Is my ignorance-challenging life.

Body-beauty

Is my climbing life. ```

793. Soldiers

```

Earth-hope

Is a dreaming soldier.

Earth-faith

Is a challenging soldier.

Earth-aspiration

Is a Truth-winning soldier.

Earth-love

Is a God-manifesting soldier. ```

794. Be careful!

```

Be careful!

Doubt-power is contagious.

Be careful!

Jealousy-power is outrageous.

Be careful!

Depression-power is dangerous.

Be careful!

World-power is suspicious. ```

795. It is another thing to fall

```

It is one thing to love,

Another thing to fall.

It is one thing to look up,

Another thing to fall.

It is one thing to become,

Another thing to fall.

But

It is not two things

To escape and fall.

```

796. The forgiver

```

God has not forgiven

My suspicious mind.

It is God's Indulgence

That has forgiven.

God has not forgiven

My ferocious vital.

It is God's Compassion

That has forgiven. ```

797. My hunger

```

Yesterday

I was a power-hungry animal.

Today

I am a peace-hungry man.

Tomorrow

I shall become

A love-hungry God.

```

798. He becomes a perfect God

```

When

He smiles,

He is a perfect Buddha.

When

He cries,

He is a perfect Ramakrishna.

When

He dances,

He is a perfect Krishna.

When

He prays,

He is a perfect Christ.

When

He meditates,

He no longer remains an Avatar;

He becomes another God,

A perfect God.

```

799. Too much respect and love

```

You have too much respect

For the world.

I wish the world could give you

Something in return.

You have too much love

For the world.

I am sure God will crown

Your earth-dedication. ```

800. You are armed

```

You are armed in mind-honesty.

You will go far.

You are armed in heart-purity.

You will go farther.

You are armed in soul-beauty.

You will go farthest.

You are armed in God-receptivity.

You will grow into the ever-transcending

Divinity's Reality.

```

Part IX — Poems 801 to 900

EB 801-900. Poems 801 to 900 were written in Vasteras, Uppsala and Stockholm, Sweden, and in Paris, France.

801. Life's younger brother

```

He was Life's younger brother.

Therefore

He was always given special attention

In the world of Life.

He was Death's elder brother.

Therefore

He had to take care

Of his younger brother.

This is the only reason

He used to spend so much time

With his younger brother, Death.

```

802. My transformed life

```

Imperfections can be transformed

Into perfect perfections.

Look, every morning

My transformed life

Prays to God

And

Meditates on God.

Every evening

My transformed life

Speaks about God

And

Serves God-food

To God-hungry souls.

```

803. Old Master, new Master

```

At last he remembers

His old Master's name.

Justice-height

Is his old Master's name.

Alas he has forgotten

His new Master's name.

Compassion-light

Is his new Master's name. ```

804. Your obedience

```

You fool,

Your obedience does not

Humiliate you.

Your obedience illumines you,

Your obedience takes you

To your own long-forgotten heights.

Your obedience

Is your earth-life's

And

Heaven-life's

Friend unparalleled.

```

805. Unmistakably so

```

Unbelievably but unmistakably,

I shall become another God.

Unmistakably yet unbelievably,

It is I who can

And will grant you realisation

After I have perfected

Your life within, without.

```

806. Just wait and see

```

Yesterday

I was the devouring desire of my animal life.

Today

I am the frustrated desire of my human life.

Tomorrow

I shall be a desire-liberated cosmic god.

Just wait and see,

Just see and wait

For your own hour.

```

807. Enough!

```

Hope, enough of your mockery!

Stop!

Doubt, enough of your treachery!

Stop!

Ignorance, enough of your bravery!

Stop!

Fate, enough of your slavery!

Stop! ```

808. I do not doubt

```

I do not doubt man.

Why?

Am I a fool

To doubt my today's self?

No, I can't be that kind of fool.

I do not doubt God.

Why?

Am I a fool

To doubt my tomorrow's self?

No, I can't be that kind of fool.

```

809. Always I am left behind

```

Always

I am left behind

Because

I think too much.

Always

I am left behind

Because

I speak too much.

Always

I am left behind

Because

I love so little.

Always

I am left behind

Because

I serve so little. ```

810. The eyes

```

The eyes of night

I was.

My vital life tempted the whole world.

The eyes of light

I am.

My heart-life is illumining the whole world.

The eyes of God

I shall be.

My perfection-life shall immortalise the whole world.

```

811. Roads

```

Lord, the road to Heaven —

I must say,

My fear does not like it.

"I see."

Lord, the road to hell —

I must say,

My pride does not like it.

"I see."

Lord, the road to earth —

I must say,

My curiosity likes it.

Therefore

Here is my existence-light.

"I see." ```

812. To make me happy

```

My soul

Embraces earth-essence

To make me happy.

My body

Embraces Heaven-essence

To make me happy.

My Saviour-God

Embraces earth-substance

To make me happy.

My beloved God

Embraces Heaven-substance

To make me happy.

```

813. I do not blame him

```

His Compassion-wisdom failed.

Therefore

He left earth-reality

For Heaven-dream.

But I do not blame him.

Earth doubted

His Consciousness-light

Ruthlessly.

Earth challenged

His authority's divine authenticity

Sleeplessly.

```

814. It really happened

```

It really happened:

God asked me to come down

And work for Him on earth.

It really happened:

I begged Him not to throw me

Into the Truth-devouring,

Light-devouring earth.

It really happened:

God told me that my service-light

Was badly needed for earth-transformation,

And that I was supremely chosen

By His own Height supreme.

```

815. A common weakness

```

A common weakness:

To love ignorance.

A common weakness:

To doubt the existence of the soul.

A common weakness:

To forget God.

A common weakness:

To exaggerate Heaven-bliss.

A common weakness:

To ignore earth-beauty. ```

816. When suspicion wakes

```

When

Aspiration wakes,

Suspicion sleeps.

When

Suspicion wakes,

Destruction jumps,

Life-beauty starves,

Heart-love dies. ```

817. Out of sheer generosity

```

Death, it is out of sheer generosity

And not out of necessity

That I give you my body.

Heaven, it is out of sheer generosity

And not out of necessity

That I give you my soul.

Earth, it is out of sheer God-necessity,

And my necessity too,

And not out of generosity

That I give you my God-achievements. ```

818. Wishes

```

My soul's dear wish

Is to make my heart see

Heaven-light.

My heart's dear wish

Is to make my soul see

Earth-night,

Earth-cry,

Earth-tears.

```

819. Daughter, you are

```

Although I am finite,

Am I not Yours, Father?

"Daughter, you are."

Although I eat ignorance,

Am I not Yours, Father?

"Daughter, you are."

Although I forget to love You,

Am I not Yours, Father?

"Daughter, you are.

My daughter sweet, you are." ```

820. I and death

```

My body saw death

Without fear.

My heart conquered death

With love.

My soul embraced death

With compassion.

I employ death

With no hesitation. ```

821. From now on

```

Heaven, for God's sake, do not accuse

My poor body any more.

My body

Is determined to aspire.

And I assure you,

It will aspire from now on.

Earth, for God's sake, do not accuse

My poor soul any more.

My soul

Is determined to reveal its light.

And I assure you,

It will reveal its light from now on. ```

822. My life-beauty

```

My life-beauty knows no ignorance,

My heart-light knows no death,

My mind-peace knows no sound-life,

My vital-force knows no pleasure-life,

My body-surrender knows no sorrow.

```

823. I run to death

```

I run to death

Because

Death loves my body,

If not my entire being.

Death runs to me

Because

I love death's silence,

If not its entire philosophy. ```

824. The throne of hell

```

You do not have to go to hell

To see the throne of hell.

Just ask your suspicion-mind

To show you the throne of hell.

Your mind will not only show you,

But make you sit

On the throne of hell

With no charge at all.

Further, it will gladly allow you

To keep the throne

For your daily use.
