Emperor-smiles. Orphan-tears

1.

```

I give God

A piece of good news.

God gives me

His Emperor-Smiles. ```

2.

```

I give God

My proud views.

God gives me

His Orphan-Tears. ```

3.

```

God the creation-lover

Is

A universal citizen.

```

4.

```

My self-giving drill

Is

God's Heartbeat-Thrill.

```

5.

```

My heart feeds

On God's Compassion-Will.

God's Heart feeds

On my world-concern. ```

6.

```

My gratitude-heart

And God's Beatitude-Eye

Deeply love

Their interdependence. ```

7.

```

I bid adieu

To my self-indulgence.

God gives me back

My self-effulgence. ```

8.

```

Sleeplessly

My aspiration-heart

Enjoys the Beauty

Of my Lord's starlit Feet. ```

9.

```

My God-surrender

Is shepherded

By God's constant Concern.

```

10.

```

The mind-prayer

Is a long-distance call

To God.

```

11.

```

The heart-meditation

Is a local call

To God.

```

12.

```

Frustration

Is a useless zero. ```

13.

```

Enthusiasm

Is a real hero. ```

14.

```

I must begin my life

Once again

By dreaming the impossible.

```

15.

```

Things that money-power

Cannot buy:

God's Pride

And

God's Satisfaction.

```

16.

```

Is there anything on earth

As unreliable

As the human mind?

```

17.

```

To be God's favourite,

The seeker must cherish

God's firm Grip

On his life. ```

18.

```

Today's impossible dreams

Tomorrow give birth to

Not only possible

But also inevitable realities. ```

19.

```

God does not trust you

Unless

You trust yourself first.

```

20.

```

God needs you

Only when you love Him

The way God wants you to.

```

21.

```

As God feeds my heart,

Even so,

God's Feet free my heart.

```

22.

```

A faith-boat

Is always

Smooth sailing.

```

23.

```

The clever mind proves to be

The worst fool

When it fails to see

Its destination. ```

24.

```

The Whispers of God's Heart

Awaken my heart,

Inspire my heart,

Energise my heart

And

Immortalise my heart. ```

25.

```

The ancient sincerity

Is needed

For the modern peace.

```

26.

```

May my God-gratitude-heart

Be my full

Soul-satisfaction.

```

27.

```

Superiority is a total loss

And not even an iota

Of gain.

```

28.

```

May my life be a

Constant,

God-comforting smile.

```

29.

```

Today I must unearth

My long-buried

Heart-riches.

```

30.

```

You can never have

An iota of peace

If you are not willing

To wrestle with your doubts. ```

31.

```

God tells me that

My surrender-life

Is the brightest star

In His Divinity's Firmament. ```

32.

```

My starlit

Marathon meditations

Are paving the way

To my God-realisation. ```

33.

```

My readiness,

My willingness

And my eagerness

Are the blossoming buds

Of my life-tree.

```

34.

```

Self-doubt means

A thick forest of fears. ```

35.

```

Aspiration's summit-rewards:

My life-mastery

And

My God-discovery. ```

36.

```

Man dreams

Of drinking ambrosia

While enjoying

The lap of inertia. ```

37.

```

God increases

His Love-Power for us

Infinitely more

When He sees our heart

Diving inward,

Our mind marching onward

And

Our life flying upward. ```

38.

```

God's miraculous achievement

Is my unconditional

Surrender-life.

```

39.

```

A self-giving heart

Grows younger

Every new day.

```

40.

```

World-shakers

Are world-misguiders. ```

41.

```

World-lovers

Are instant

God-discoverers.

```

42.

```

An unseen God-server

Is undoubtedly

The God-Heart-winner.

```

43.

```

The mind

Is a broken sleep. ```

44.

```

The heart

Is a golden dream

```

.

45.

```

Ambitions

Can be devoured

By a giant doom.

```

46.

```

Aspiration

Can be embraced

By instant bloom.

```

47.

```

Every morning

God makes a new selection

Of His crew members.

```

48.

```

There is only one

True sanctuary:

The fulness of peace.

```

49.

```

He who puts God-service

On hold

Will never be embraced

By God's Heart

Of gold.

```

50.

```

God-devotion

Has the power to be

Infinite expansion.

```

51.

```

Prayer-cries

Strengthen. ```

52.

```

Meditation-smiles

Enlighten. ```

53.

```

Prayer-fulfilment

Is a future tense. ```

54.

```

Meditation-fulfilment

Is a present tense. ```

55.

```

God cradles me

Between

My morning sunrise-prayers

And

My evening sunset-meditations.

```

56.

```

God every morning asks me

To keep an eye on my mind,

My vital and my body,

Specially on my mind. ```

57.

```

As it is true

That my life was

A God-ingratitude-gloom,

Even so,

My life is now

A God-gratitude-bloom. ```

58.

```

God-aspiration-beauty

I was. ```

59.

```

God-realisation-fragrance

I now am. ```

60.

```

My Lord,

If You really love me,

Then every day

You must bless my heart

With the Sahara-thirst.

```

61.

```

My mind wants

Immediate

World-attention.

```

62.

```

My heart needs

Fond

God-Affection.

```

63.

```

My mind,

Run, run!

Hide, hide!

Pride is fast approaching you. ```

64.

```

Each time I go to visit

My mind-desert,

My Beloved Lord Supreme

Brings me back

And most compassionately

Helps me bathe

In my heart-river.
