God's Heart I desire, God's Feet I choose

1.

```

I desire God's Heart

To make God happy.

I choose God's Feet

To make me happy. ```

2.

```

The untold miseries

Of a suspicious mind

Are never undeserved.

```

3.

```

There is a constant battle

Between

Inevitability-dream

And

Possibility-reality.

```

4.

```

God-Forgiveness-passport

And

God-Satisfaction-visa

We need to enter into

The highest Heaven of Bliss.

```

5.

```

Eagerness-cries

Give birth

To fulness-smiles.

```

6.

```

Searing jealousy

The desiring mind's forte.

```

7.

```

Forgiveness

Is God's Miracle-Power.

So is man's patience.

```

8.

```

My Lord Supreme,

Let me just hear from You

That I am not alone.

```

9.

```

A desiring mind

A paralysing fear.

```

10.

```

A desire-life is

An ill-fated dream

And

An ill-founded reality. ```

11.

```

While the soul

Is in the body,

We must by all means

Do what we are supposed

To do for God.

```

12.

```

God tells me

That it is up to me,

Not up to Him,

Whether I want to live

Inside my bitterness-mind

Inside my sweetness-heart.

```

13.

```

The mind swims not;

The mind sinks.

The heart sinks not;

The heart swims. ```

14.

```

Inspiration

The might of the mind.

Aspiration

The Light of the heart.

```

15.

```

Eagerness and determination

Are

Two winner-partners.

```

16.

```

Become a saint.

Your uncomely past

Cannot and will not

Remain the same. ```

17.

```

To me,

Mere mental renunciation

Is nothing short

Of mental hallucination. ```

18.

```

Your ignorance-mind

Is infinitely stronger

Than you think.

Your purity-heart

Is infinitely more illumining

Than you can ever imagine.

```

19.

```

A useless nothingness-mind

Is all I have.

A fruitful fulness-heart

Is all I need. ```

20.

```

Hope

Is not a stranger

To my desiring mind.

```

21.

```

Promise

Is not a stranger

To my aspiring heart.

```

22.

```

Humility is not

Mind-hesitation.

Humility is

Wisdom-perfection. ```

23.

```

Do not reject the mind.

Accept the mind

And transform it.

```

24.

```

Do not avoid the mind.

Catch the mind

And control it.

```

25.

```

O my mind,

Be wise.

How long are you

Going to keep yourself

Endlessly in a doubt-circle?

```

26.

```

Imagination

Is the

Power of the mind.

Aspiration

Is the

Purity of the heart.

Realisation

Is the

Divinity of the soul.

```

27.

```

An illumination-heart

And

A perfection-life

Always in each other live. ```

28.

```

Desire yesterday

Unmistakably will be proved

To be meaningless,

Fruitless

And useless today.

```

29.

```

Death

Life's

Unwanted sleep. ```

30.

```

My heart's inner silence-room,

You are the only one

To give me oneness-fulness-peace.

```

31.

```

Because of your

God-surrender life,

The blossoming of your

Satisfaction-heart

Is immanent.

```

32.

```

A life of singular discipline

A mind of intensity.

```

33.

```

A life of humility's purity

A heart of vastness.

```

34.

```

Aspiring to serve

God the Creator

Is itself its

God-service-satisfaction. ```

35.

```

O self-importance,

Look what you have done!

Because of you

My entire being

Has crumbled into dust.

```

36.

```

Aspiration is the only thing

That will illumine my heart.

Dedication is the only thing

That will transform my life. ```

37.

```

You want

A frustration-free mind.

Then cancel

Your expectation-flight. ```

38.

```

Alas,

My mind has compelled me

To develop a sea-deep hatred

For the things that remain

Unaccomplished.

```

39.

```

When I feel

That God is my all,

I immediately see

That my ultimate success

Is speeding towards me.

```

40.

```

There is only one thing

That satisfies me,

And that is the smile

From inner circle friends. ```

41.

```

Alas, what was I doing?

I was doing two things:

Collecting world-complaints

And

Enjoying God-gossip.

```

42.

```

Prayerfully cry

And

Soulfully smile.

Your inner breath

Will become one

With God's Fragrance-Heart. ```

43.

```

True encouragement

Adorns my heart.

True encouragement expedites

My heavenward journey. ```

44.

```

A purity-heart

Always lives

In a suspicion-free

Mind-neighbourhood. ```

45.

```

God,

I am afraid

You and Your Compassion

Are always stuck

With me.

My child,

I am afraid

You and your stupidity

Are always stuck

With My Dream about you.

```

46.

```

My God-reliance

Has made me

Happiness incarnate

And

Perfection consummate.
