Greet the morningWith your heart’s aspiration-cry.
Greet the eveningWith your life’s gratitude-smile.
At night, God will grant you His Eternity’s Loveand His Infinity’s Peace.
``````
The inner battle will definitely endThe day I turn my entire life
Into a God-surrendered song. ``````
God will choose your lifeBlessingfully and proudly
If you just choose your soulCheerfully and unmistakably.
``````
The outer success-roadIs short and full of apprehension.
The inner progress-roadIs long and full of illumination.
``````
Only one song to sing:My heart’s oneness-song.
Only one dance to dance:My mind’s surrender-dance.
``````
Success is measuredBy the outer joy.
Progress is measuredBy the inner peace.
``````
Each time I pray,I see inside my heart
A peace-tree growing.Each time I pray,
I see inside my heartA peace-flower blossoming.
``````
My Lord Supreme asks me to be happyIn my inner life of aspiration
And my outer life of dedication.He tells me that I do not have to strive
To prove to Him that I love Him and need Him. ``````
The mind is fond ofGod the Powerful.
The heart is fond ofGod the Merciful.
The soul is fond ofGod the Peaceful.
``````
The heart that loves God unconditionallyIs the heart that radiates eternally,
Both in Heaven and on earth. ```God’s Pride knows no bounds
When my heart singsA fountain-sweetness-song.
``````
The beauty of the morning inspires us.The beauty of the evening purifies us.
``````
What I need is indomitable strengthIn my mind.
What I need is inimitable surrender-joyIn my heart.
``````
There are many boatsThat sail fast, very fast,
But the heart’s surrender-boatAlways sails the fastest.
``````
God wants from us onlyGratitude-heart-tears
And not countlessGratitude-gift-offerings.
```Where is my mind’s freedom?
It is inside my heart’s peace.It is inside my life’s surrender.
``````
I have come to learnThat my Lord’s Forgiveness-Song
Has no final note. ``````
A surrender-life ascends.A gratitude-heart expands.
``````
My mind wants success-procession.My heart wants progress-acceleration.
``````
No mind-power, no success.No heart-power, no progress.
``````
The aspiration-heart began.The dedication-life has to complete.
``````
In the morningI pray to God’s Compassion-Eye.
In the eveningI meditate on God’s Forgiveness-Heart.
``````
You may not be thinking of GodFor His Satisfaction-Heart,
But God is thinking of youFor your perfection-life.
``````
Prayer is my heart-song.Meditation is my soul-dance.
``````
No love-devotion-surrender-strideAlong the path of spirituality
Can ever be too short. ``````
Unless your heart is a dance of hope,How can your life be a song of peace?
``````
Each prayer goes up toGod the Power.
Each meditation brings downGod the Peace.
``````
As every day my life grows shorter,Even so, every day
My gratitude-heart becomes longer. ``````
My soul every day teaches my heartA new and soulful tolerance-song.
``````
Once God becomes real to you,Yours should be every day
A God-preoccupied heart. ``````
God does not want usTo sound the success-trumpet,
But to play the progress-flute. ``````
Do you want to be happy?Then offer to God your heart’s
Permanent invitation. ``````
Do you want to make GodReally happy?
Then never give up your hopeOf becoming absolutely perfect.
``````
Two instruments I practise every morning:Mind-inspiration-piano and heart-aspiration-flute.
``````
My Lord, may my life begin every dayWith an aspiration-song
And a dedication-dance. ``````
God smiles at my readiness.God sings for my willingness.
God dances in my eagerness. ``````
God Himself has told meThat there are no speed limits
On my self-transcendence-road. ``````
God sings for me many, many songs,But He enjoys His Compassion-Songs the most.
``````
EventuallyEach and every seeker
Will run along the roadOf unconditional surrender.
``````
My Lord, do show me every morningMy sincerity’s gratitude-heart-sunrise.
```The mind’s obedience-smile is beautiful.
The heart’s oneness-dance is perfect. ```May my soul’s dance be
Heaven’s gift to earth.May my heart’s song be
Earth’s gift to Heaven. ``````
May my heart never stop dreamingEvery night
My life-transformation-dream. ``````
My prayer-handsTouch God’s Feet.
My meditation-eyesFeel God’s Heart.
``````
Today I have dancedMy final suspicion-mind-dance.
Today I have dancedMy final hesitation-heart-dance.
Today I have dancedMy final unwillingness-life-dance.
```God tells me that He will definitely
Be successful with me;Therefore, He has been extending
And extendingMy life’s transformation-deadline.
``````
When I pray,God gives me the Joy of His Eye.
When I meditate,God gives me the Love of His Heart.
``````
In the morning,God and I meet together
To exchange our compassion and aspiration.In the evening,
God and I meet togetherTo exchange our forgiveness and gratitude.
``````
May my mind becomeA success-story of God.
May my heart becomeA progress-song of God.
``````
You are beautiful, more beautiful,Most beautiful
Only when you join your soulIn dancing in God’s Heart-Garden.
