```
Silence-blossoms have awakened my mind.My tears and God’s Smiles clasped I find.
``````
My orphan-tears begin my day.My princely smiles blaze the Way.
```I keep my heart’s streaming tears
Sleeplessly alive.So that my Lord's beaming Smiles
In me can thrive. ``````
Energised by my self-improvement-task,In my Lord’s Transcendent Sun-Flames I bask.
``````
Obedience longs to feed the LordInfinitely more.
Self-deleted, fastest it runs, arrivesAnd touches the Shore.
``````
I shall climb upMy soul’s dream-flooded staircase.
Endless obstacles,Dauntless my heart shall face.
``````
Fastest runs to the Goal SupremeMy Lord’s Love-Train.
Singing and dancing, therein my breath —No bondage-chain.
``````
Be not empty of light and joy,My foolproof mind.
Heavenward race you never win,Always behind.
``````
His Face, my face, my Lord together saw,And said, “Yours is perfect like Mine, no flaw.”
``````
Ecstasy-flooded is the road of Love divine,Divinity’s oneness-fulness-sun-shrine.
``````
God is weeping for you;Oh, do not cry.
You are bound to succeed;Just once more try.
``````
Each time I shake hands with hostile desires,My God-oneness-visa-delight expires.
``````
Battered by teeming doubtsAnd blinding fears,
I compel my Lord SupremeTo swim in tears.
``````
Break not your God-gratitude-promise-height;Yours will be Infinity’s Silence-Light.
``````
The starved desires that stormed my mindAre now deceased; left far behind.
```Only in God’s Orbit I choose to live,
And my mind-thorns, heart-fragrance I shall give. ```When God’s God-deep Love-Light-Fragrance appears,
To the Golden Shore his dream-life-boat man steers. ``````
Oh, if I never fail my Lord,Oh, if I never fail,
His Heart will be eager to knowMy life’s every detail.
``````
Alas, like me, God also has bad days,And more so when I doubt
His all-Compassion-Eye, Forgiveness-Heart.Totally insane I shout.
``````
God comes to mePrecisely in the Form I need.
Him I must feedThe way His Heart wants me to feed.
``````
God pressures my mindBecause of its stark unwillingness-flow.
God treasures my heartBecause of its sleepless eagerness-glow.
``````
Silence I choose to play with my heart-flames;Every single day my monkey-mind God tames.
```An immediate ‘Yes!’ to God’s every Command,
O my hesitant mind, from you I demand. ``````
Heaven is so far from the human mind,But the heart is extremely close.
Heaven commands the mind to halt its journey,And calls the heart its rose.
``````
With my gratitude-heart-tears and smiles,My Lord I greet.
My Lord gives me His All, the momentI clasp His Feet.
``````
Delight is born of obedience-willingness;Perfection born of sleepless, selfless oneness.
``````
My sunlit path, no fog, no cloud can hide.My heart-flames enjoy God’s Sunrise-Ride.
``````
My soul has silenced my stark confusion-mind;Peace-bliss-blossoms within, without, I find.
``````
Life is so brief, alas, life is so brief.Why delay in catching ignorance-thief?
``````
Before I compose my God-worship-song,My heart strikes His Compassion-Victory-Gong.
```Since God is God’s Forgiveness-Breath,
I must declare my ego’s death. ``````
Oh, permit not your ego-lion to roar,If you desire your heart-bird to soar.
``````
I know what is great is splendid;I feel what is good is candid.
Far from God, my splendour-craving mind;My heart-candour in God’s own Breath I find.
``````
My doubting mind deserves an early death.My self-giving heart implores God’s Nectar-Breath.
``````
No earthly force can be a true remedy.Only a oneness-heart ready and steady.
``````
Each time my mind I give, I fail.Each time my heart I offer, I sail.
``````
My sweet Lord is lonely for my love;I shall make Him my fondness-dove.
``````
My Lord Himself applaudsMy aspiration-comeback.
No more shall I runOn ignorance-studded track.
``````
Ever kind to me, my Lord’s Forgiveness;His Justice is all blind to my weakness.
``````
Do not destroyThe sweet fragrance of hope.
It will give youThe Heaven-climbing rope.
```Earth’s hunger-cry
One soul can feed.Earth’s progress-smile
One soul can speed. ```Mankind’s freedom-peace-discovery —
Only when no God-faith-robbery. ``````
When our earth-necessities decrease,Our real God-essentials increase.
``````
God-Satisfaction-Smile-Birds flyOnly when I have a silence-heart-sky.
``````
Doubt is afraid of silence-light.Doubt surrenders to oneness-delight.
``````
Willingness and eagerness together run the fastest.To God’s Lotus-Feet these two are the nearest.
```When God says ‘No’, my desire-mind-dog cries and cries,
My aspiration-heart-bird, high-higher-highest flies. ``````
No more shall I remainA fallen victim to desire.
Behold! I now have broughtTo the fore my inner fire.
``````
No matter where I go,My heart carries the rainbow-hopes.
In despair-night-prison,Mine is the mind that never gropes.
```Each time my Lord’s Compassion-Eye I see,
A nectar-dream blossoms in our oneness-fulness-sea. ``````
Within, without, the doubting mind lies.Below, above, the praying heart cries.
``````
Because I want to please my Lord in His own Way,Surrender-gratitude-game my life must play.
``````
Freedom complete, perfect I love to choose.To ignorance-night no more my life shall lose.
``````
Oh, where are you, my heart’s fountain-delight?I live in my ruthless mind’s destruction-night.
``````
My Lord, I need the SongOf Your Compassion-Eye
To catch my jungle-misdeedsAnd quickly nullify.
```In God’s Heart-Garden I grow
With my obedience.In my heart-nest God glows
With His Confidence. ``````
No more am I in my tear-flooded shore.I am in my heart’s God-blossoming lore.
``````
My perfection rests not upon my skill.It rests upon my Lord’s Compassion-Will.
``````
He who never forgets his GoalIs, indeed, a Heaven-chosen soul.
```My Lord’s Sun-Smile-Presence is near and dear
Only when my ego-sword I smash and tear. ```My Lord’s Nectar-Delight is not far away,
If I eat not my mind-mud and vital-clay. ``````
In secrecy supreme, my Lord I worship;I pride myself only on His Leadership.
``````
All-where the pride-monarch-titans mushroom.Behold, their fleeting bloom and sinking doom!
``````
Oh, leave no door open for doubt, I say,With God’s Heart-Joy-Smiles if you long to play.
```Oh, never trust your mind’s desire-train!
No goal it has — just bondage-chain. ```Ecstasy’s flood will soon arrive.
You keep your inner flames alive. ```When I invoke my Lord’s Compassion-Face,
His Heart forgives my disobedience-case. ``````
World-withdrawal is no solution.It thickens the jungle-mind-confusion.
``````
Breathe the fragrance of your heart-tears.Yours will be God’s Summit-Pride-Cheers.
``````
O my clever, trust-fractured mind,You have made me totally blind.
``````
Do You love me, my Lord? If so, give meYour Thunder-Feet,
The only way to keep my vital and mindAll clean and neat.
``````
God never wants you to be the loser.He always wants you to be His Smile-chooser.
``````
A self-giving joy when I earn,Every heart-message-light I learn.
``````
In each there is a little of all;The same God-Heartbeats — big or small.
``````
God is available in your own heart-clime.God is approachable — select your own time.
``````
Embark upon your inner pilgrimage.Your life will grow into God’s own image.
``````
My sound-producer-mind, be silent, mute!My Lord Supreme arrives with His Golden Flute.
``````
If God you want to know,Never, never be slow!
``````
Cheerful, cheerful, cheerful — be cheerful!If not, your life-breath will be fearful.
``````
Compassion Supreme, at You when I look,Your tearful Heart I fail to brook.
``````
If your heart is prayerless and weak,How can the Lord God ever speak?
```My heart, my sweet Lord’s Victory-Song sing!
My soul, ecstasy-bird is on the wing. ``````
My doubting mind deservesThe God who reprimands.
My heart rightly needsThe God who commands.
``````
High hopes, high ideals, high will, I dreamTo claim here and now my Lord Supreme.
``````
Love not, trust notYour vital-train.
It carries nothingBut torture-pain.
``````
My mind-roar can never silenceMy God-whispers.
My Lord Supreme dances in myGratitude-tears.
``````
Daily my promise rises like the sun:My ignorance-pleasure-dream I shall shun.
``````
To see beyond time, faith is the telescope.Faith shatters mind-doubts’ strongest bondage-rope.
``````
Impossibility is empty of meaning.God’s God-Pride in me is blossoming.
``````
The pulse of a purity-heart I need,My Supreme Lord’s Heart-Breath-Book to read.
``````
A shocking decline in my devotion am I;Yet my Lord Supreme remains His Compassion-Eye.
``````
My Lord, no moreIgnorance-worship, no more.
Mine is the heart-boatBound for the Golden Shore.
``````
God does not mindIf you stumble, even fall.
Just ignore notHis Heart’s Compassion-Call.
``````
A heart repleteWith oneness-fulness-love,
Indeed, a fondBlessing-blossom from Above.
```Only at man’s heart-station stops God-Train
To carry man’s sleepless and breathless pain. ``````
Needed: surrender-stamps to mail God-letters.Once sent, we see no more bondage-fetters.
``````
What is God-loving dedication?The oneness-love-joy in action.
``````
With pure obedience-blissOn my wings I fly.
God gives me His ownHeart-Treasure-Sky.
``````
My heart, my only aspiration-shrine,In you God’s Hope and Promise shine.
``````
Each uncomely thought is ignorance-breath.It leads our lives to destruction-death.
