```
Love is to know something.Devotion is to do something.
Surrender is to give something.But gratitude is to become something.
``````
Why is surrender so great?Surrender is great because it accepts cheerfully
What it does not understand remotely.Also, it does not care to understand vaguely
Anything whatsoever.It only believes and obeys, and obeys and believes.
``````
What is the matter with you?You cannot even say “hello”
To God’s Forgiveness-Heart. ``````
Believe it or not, every dayMy Beloved Supreme
Gives me His Vision-Kite to fly. ``````
With a single surrender-stepI reached God’s Satisfaction-Heart-Palace.
``````
The smile of your self-givingInspires God to dance for you.
``````
Love, devotion, surrender, how far?How far? How far?
I am crying, I am dying for you three.Make me a oneness-seed.
Make me a oneness-plant.Make me a oneness-tree.
``````
With love I discover God.With devotion I feed God.
With surrender I fulfil God. ``````
I cherish only one strength,My cheerful surrender
To God’s Will. ``````
I love God to see His Face.God loves me to feel my heart.
``````
Love can tell you where God is.Devotion can tell you what God is.
Surrender can tell you who God is. ``````
Love is action.Devotion is practice.
Surrender is experience. ``````
Love is the meaning of life.Devotion is the secret of life.
Surrender is the goal of life. ``````
Love will outlive the destruction-mind.Devotion will outlive the uncertain heart.
Surrender will outlive the negative life. ``````
You tell me that you do not wantTo fall any more.
You want to rise, only rise.I tell you the secret of secrets:
This moment cry like a child,Next moment smile like a child.
This is the way you can rise and riseAt every moment.
``````
Obedience is the perfection of the heart.Obedience is the salvation of life.
``````
Every dayMy heart teaches my life
A new gratitude-song. ``````
No entrance fee is neededTo enter into God’s Compassion-Heart.
```Be always a candidate
For God’s Satisfaction-Smile. ``````
The quicker I unlearn,The wiser I become,
The better I loveMy Beloved Supreme.
``````
A sacred heart-flowerIs
A secret treasure-fruit of God. ```My heart needs
Only one freedom,The freedom to dream.
```A depressed heart means
A confessed failure. ``````
The farther away I amFrom my inner hunger,
The greater is my outer insecurity. ``````
Look, the entire worldIs in favour of your
Becoming another God. ```My own gratitude-heart
Is all that matters. ``````
Peace begins when expectation ends. ```Peace: humanity’s heart-flower,
Divinity's soul-fragrance. ``````
I am happy when I love my friends.I am fulfilled when I serve my friends.
```Sweet, sweeter, sweetest;
Pure, purer, purestAre gratitude-tears.
```I want my life's pendulum to swing
Upward and inward,Not backward and forward.
``````
To love moreIs to discover the Truth sooner.
```Do not blame the world;
Find a solution. ```Peace is God’s constant Grace.
War is man’s immediate disgrace. ``````
I bow to the infinite Compassion-OceanOf my Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme.
``````
Cheerfulness is progress.Progress is satisfaction.
Satisfaction is God Himself. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Makes me a millionaire.My happiness-heart
Makes God a multi-millionaire. ``````
I am a seven-year-old boy.I am my Master’s choicest toy.
``````
I am a seven-year-old girl.My Master’s light all-where I hurl.
``````
I multiply my morning aspiration-heartBy my evening surrender-life.
``````
There was a time when I wasAn aspiration-heart specialist.
Now I am a dedication-life specialist.Soon there shall come a time when I shall be
A gratitude-surrender specialist. ``````
O my mind, O my mind,Why do you not confess
Even once your countlessDoubt-crimes?
``````
Because of your oneness-heart all-where,You will soon be released from ignorance-slavery.
``````
Soulfully live within, powerfully live without,Beyond the imperfection-world’s thunder-sound.
```Impossibility always bows
To humanity’s patience-mountain. ``````
O my mind, when will you startPraying and meditating
At the foot of my soul’sPeace-mountain?
``````
Every morning and eveningI am determined to sing and dance
On the highest peakOf my sun-flooded aspiration-mountain.
``````
Every day I do two things:I make a hope-garden
Inside my heartAnd I create a promise-mountain
Inside my mind. ``````
My doubting mind deservesAn early death.
My self-giving heart imploresGod’s Nectar-Breath.
```Don’t expect, don’t expect.
Give, give and giveIf you want to really survive.
```The seeker’s confidence-heart,
The seeker’s surrender-life,Shall play together
The complete perfection-gameIn God’s Vision-Home.
``````
Since I am one of the supremely fortunateChosen few,
My Lord Beloved Supreme,Out of His infinite Compassion-Light,
Is telling me that He will definitely finish mySelf-perfection-journey.
I just have to start, here and now:Here, at this angel-blessed place;
Now, at this gratitude-blossomed moment. ```The New Year will be the man-awakening
And the life illumining God-Hour.The eyeless will see the Vision-Eye
Of the Absolute Supreme,And the heartless will feel the Compassion-Heart
Of the Absolute Supreme. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Impossibility bows, 1995
