Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 13

1201.

```

The only company

My heart needs

Is the fulfilling company

Of my illumination-soul. ```

1202.

```

May I be every day

My God-pleasing

Surrender-heart-rose.

```

1203.

```

I know that

God's Compassion-Eye

Is never finished working for me.

How I wish that

My God-satisfaction-heart

Will never stop fulfilling God

In God's own Way.

```

1204.

```

God and God's infinite Compassion

Always promptly answer

My heart's Heaven-climbing prayers.

```

1205.

```

My Lord, You have given me

A heart of love.

This heart of love must needs

Follow Your Footsteps

With devotion-magnet.

```

1206.

```

My Lord, I am turning my life

Into an ever-green heart

To love Your Compassion-Eye

And serve Your Forgiveness-Feet. ```

1207.

```

My Lord,

Out of Your infinite Bounty,

You have transformed

My inner heart.

Will You not also transform

My outer face? ```

1208.

```

O my stupidity-incarnate mind,

You do not know

Or you do not want to know

How lucky you are.

Sleeplessly God and God's Life-Breath

Are playing inside you

And around you.

```

1209.

```

My soul's ancient dreams

And my life's modern realities

Are shining side by side

In my heart-eye. ```

1210.

```

Time, you will always remain

My heart's oneness-friend.

Time, you will always remain

My mind's worse-than-the-worst enemy. ```

1211.

```

My Lord Supreme,

Our lack of aspiration displeases You.

Our lack of dedication displeases You.

My Lord, is there anything we have

That does please You?

"Yes, My child,

Your heart's soul-flooded smile."

```

1212.

```

The mind is the power

Of its imagination-flight.

The heart is the tower

Of its illumination-height. ```

1213.

```

I am absolutely certain

That each gratitude-breath

Of my heart

Is an unparalleled paradise. ```

1214.

```

My Lord Supreme commands me

To grow and glow

With the life-breath of the Life universal.

```

1215.

```

I am so proud of my soul,

For it enjoys

The immeasurably longest

And the intimately closest

Companionship

With my Lord's

Transcendental Will-Power.

```

1216.

```

O my doubting mind,

Do not try to bind the flight

Of my Heaven-soaring hope.

```

1217.

```

God loves me

In my wakefulness.

I love God

In His ever-new Fulness. ```

1218.

```

God proudly salutes

His great guest:

The ever-climbing aspiration-heart.

```

1219.

```

When our Mother-Earth

Was newly blossomed,

God danced His Infinity's

Ecstasy-Dance. ```

1220.

```

My mind loves God

The cosmic Magician.

My heart needs God

The cosmic Healer. ```

1221.

```

At every moment

My gratitude-heart is prayerfully enjoying

The universal Melody

Of God's Compassion-flooded

Life-Breath.

```

1222.

```

No human mind will ever be able

To minimise or annihilate

The perfection-beauty of the soul.

```

1223.

```

God renders Himself accessible

Only to those whose hearts pine

For His Compassion-Eye.

```

1224.

```

My simplicity-life

Is always radiant

With God's own

Unimaginable Lustre. ```

1225.

```

God has unconditionally given

My aspiration-heart

The job of unfolding

All His Heaven-cherished Secrets. ```

1226.

```

God deeply appreciates

My struggling life's sincere eagerness

For His complete manifestation on earth.

```

1227.

```

Even an iota of unwillingness

Brings disgrace

To the sincere seeker.

```

1228.

```

When my Lord's Victory-Song

I sing

In my heart's silence-depth,

God immediately shows me

That I come from

His Infinity's Peace,

And I am heading towards

His Immortality's Bliss. ```

1229.

```

Each aspirant has to cross beyond

The sound-life-horizon

To enter into the silence-kingdom.

```

1230.

```

O my mind,

Do you know why you are so unhappy?

You are unhappy because

You do not even want to know

How to doubt your doubts.

```

1231.

```

Each heart is a hope-flower

That blooms and blossoms

At God's choice Hour.

```

1232.

```

Nothing can make God smile

As quickly and wholeheartedly

As my enthusiasm-mind.

```

1233.

```

God's love for your aspiration

Is so deep

That God has opened for you

A galaxy

Of God-manifestation-opportunities.

```

1234.

```

O my mind,

I am telling you the absolute truth:

Our Compassion-Lord becomes

Whatever we truly need. ```

1235.

```

I have become

My heart's constant prayer

To open God's sacred Heart-Door.

```

1236.

```

O my mind, be patient.

Continue your self-research.

Your total illumination

Is inevitable. ```

1237.

```

The difference between

My mind and my heart is this:

My mind questions God's Justice;

My heart bathes in God's Compassion. ```

1238.

```

How does one become spiritual?

Not by exercising his mind's

Independence,

Not by exercising his heart's

Interdependence,

But by exercising his life's

God-dependence.

```

1239.

```

God came and gave him

The strongest Embrace

When God saw him embracing

The world's suffering-night. ```

1240.

```

My heart's secret and sacred

Friendship with God

Has made my soul

Unimaginably happy. ```

1241.

```

When my heart's aspiration-flames

Dance continuously,

God invites me to His Palace

To dine with Him. ```

1242.

```

A unconditional surrender-life

Is the most significant achievement

In spirituality.

```

1243.

```

I must fulfil God

Instantly and constantly

To claim Him as my own,

Very own. ```

1244.

```

Only when my heart cries

Desperately and helplessly

Does God appear

Blessingfully and proudly. ```

1245.

```

God's smiling Eye in my life

Is my boundless

God-manifestation-capacity.

```

1246.

```

The poise of my God-loving heart

Can definitely silence

My mind's doubt-hurricanes.

```

1247.

```

If I do not aspire,

My life is bound to be haunted

By my own failure-calamities.

```

1248.

```

O doubt,

The very thought

Of your imminent death

Is pleasing my heart

Beyond description.

```

1249.

```

A God-smiling heart

Is indeed

The greatest of all givers.

```

1250.

```

If I am not meant to win,

So what?

As long as I am meant to fight,

I shall fight for God's Victory. ```

1251.

```

God is always

Extremely pleased

With my heart's humility-light.

```

1252.

```

You must invoke

Either God or your own soul

To free you from

Your mind-prison. ```

1253.

```

I like the God

Who tells me

I am an ambassador of peace.

But I love the God

Who tells me

I am an eternal student of peace. ```

1254.

```

God tells the world

That only a self-giving heart

Is needed

For true God-manifestation

On earth.

```

1255.

```

To enter into the Kingdom

Of Peace, Light and Bliss

Is the real purpose

Of our aspiration-life. ```

1256.

```

Treasure the beauty of hope

And the fragrance of promise

At every moment.

With hope and promise

We fulfil the Message

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

1257.

```

Our mind's individuality

And personality-clouds

Are bound to disappear

In our soul's universality-sky. ```

1258.

```

O truth-seekers and God-lovers,

You are the children

Of the ever-illumining Body of the Supreme,

The ever-glowing Heart of the Supreme

And the ever-flowing Soul of the Supreme.

```

1259.

```

The mind has taken doubt as its guard,

To open and shut

Its iron non-progressiveness-gate.

```

1260.

```

When God comes to visit

My heart-home,

The only refreshment He expects

Is my gratitude-heart-tears and smiles. ```

1261.

```

When I look into my heart-mirror,

I see only God

And the Beauty of God's

Compassion-Eye. ```

1262.

```

O my heart,

Do not act like the foolish mind.

Do not gamble away

Your God-realisation-opportunities. ```

1263.

```

My mind is always

Its false majesty.

My heart is always

Its true humility. ```

1264.

```

When you hear God's Voice

Echoing and re-echoing

Inside your heart-garden,

Your God-realisation-day

Is fast approaching you.

```

1265.

```

O my mind,

With your very last breath,

Soulfully sing a gratitude-song.

```

1266.

```

Alas, my recent aspiration-famine

Has seriously alarmed

My God-loving heart.

```

1267.

```

An unaspiring life

Will always remain

A God-question mark.

```

1268.

```

My aspiring heart

Will always adore

My God-devotion-days and nights.

```

1269.

```

I bring my aspiration-heart

To God,

Not for my fulfilment

But for my enlightenment. ```

1270.

```

I keep only a collection

Of God's divine qualities

In my heart-museum.

```

1271.

```

O my mind,

Do not be jealous.

Come and join

My heart's peace-celebration. ```

1272.

```

One drop of pleasure-poison

Is enough to destroy

The beauty and purity

Of my aspiration-heart. ```

1273.

```

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Are always pleasing and fulfilling God

In myriad ways. ```

1274.

```

What I desperately need

Is a God-belonging heart

And not

A world-possessing mind. ```

1275.

```

Why do I love God?

I love God because He is

My life's all-fulfilling

Silence-flooded Partner. ```

1276.

```

Every day

If you do not dive deep within

In your God-discovery-expedition,

How can you ever be

The darling of Heaven?

```

1277.

```

Just as day

Claims our beautiful eyes,

Even so, night

Claims our soulful heart. ```

1278.

```

The mind has two exceptional qualities

Which the wise heart does not want to share:

It loves to debate;

It loves to berate. ```

1279.

```

The heart has two exceptional qualities

Which the doubting mind cannot appreciate:

It loves to surrender;

It loves to sing a oneness-song. ```

1280.

```

Wherever I go,

I carry my God-oneness-heart-thrill,

Not proudly

But self-givingly. ```

1281.

```

My heart never needs

A recommendation from anybody

To visit God.

```

1282.

```

My mind-life

Is full of contradiction.

My heart-life

Is full of illumination. ```

1283.

```

My Lord Supreme's

Compassion-Eye

Quite often works in and through us,

Even uninvoked. ```

1284.

```

Train your mind

For transformation.

Train your heart

For contemplation.

Train your life

For perfection. ```

1285.

```

When God's Heart cries,

Nobody knows.

When God's Eye smiles,

Everybody knows. ```

1286.

```

I offer my Lord

My life's trials and tribulations.

God gives me

His Life's inner Peace

And His Heart's inner Bliss.

```

1287.

```

I tell all my aspiration-comrades

They can reach me lovingly

Only at my heart-home-address.

```

1288.

```

God definitely needs more teammates.

Therefore, my heart's aspiration-cries

And my soul's illumination-smiles

Are trying out for God's Team. ```

1289.

```

Each time my mind

Has a pure thought,

I see God enjoying

His Happiness-Heart. ```

1290.

```

My Lord's Compassion-Eye

Is always anxious and eager

To be my life's sole spokesman.

```

1291.

```

My mind literally loves

Earth's colourful confusion.

My heart sleeplessly loves

Heaven's powerful illumination. ```

1292.

```

The day I start my morning

Without a prayer,

I become a hopelessly lost child

The entire day. ```

1293.

```

It is our heart's wisdom-light

That tells us to remain always

Outside our mind-gate.

```

1294.

```

My soul tells me

That my aspiration-journey

Is a one-way trip.

```

1295.

```

When we quote

Our Lord Beloved Supreme perfectly,

His Joy knows no bounds.

When we misquote

Our Lord Supreme consciously and deliberately,

His unhappiness, too, knows no bounds. ```

1296.

```

When I am in my heart,

I like to be as playful as a child.

When I am in my mind,

I like to be as prayerful as a saint. ```

1297.

```

My Lord's Compassion-Eye

Sleeplessly feeds

Humanity's light-hunger-cries.

```

1298.

```

When I please God

In God's own Way,

The Beyond beckons me

With unbounded pride. ```

1299.

```

A soulful aspiration-heart

Is indeed

A piece of the highest Heaven.

```

1300.

```

My Lord Supreme,

Are You not displeased

With my quantity-hunger-mind?

"My child,

I am not at all displeased

With your quantity-hunger-mind.

Your quantity-hunger-mind

Is helping Me in a unique way

To swim in the sea

Of ever-increasing Delight." ```

1301.

```

My Lord Supreme,

I vividly saw Your Compassion-Eye

At my marathon journey's start.

My Lord Supreme,

I throbbingly feel Your Satisfaction-Heart

At my marathon journey's close. ```
