My God-commitments

1.

```

Every day

My soul reminds me

Of my God-commitments.

```

2.

```

God proudly treasures

The beauty

Of my God-aspiration,

The purity

Of my God-dedication

And the divinity

Of my God-manifestation.

```

3.

```

To be a better aspirant,

I helplessly cry within

And

Powerfully smile without. ```

4.

```

If you do not want

To listen to God

Even once a day,

Why should God allow you

To remain inside

His Heart-Garden? ```

5.

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do ask my heart

Not only to forgive my mind,

But also to lead

And guide my mind

To reach the golden

Destination-Shore.

```

6.

```

From now on

I am determined

To love and serve God

Sleeplessly, blindly

And unconditionally.

Who cares if my ex-friend,

Ignorance,

Suffers? ```

7.

```

Each serious mistake

Leads to either

An outer punishment

Or an inner enlightenment,

Or both.

```

8.

```

My soul-friend

Wants me to make progress

Only through

My inner and outer

Happiness.

```

9.

```

The inner experience-height

Is the beginning of

The outer freedom-delight.

```

10.

```

Very happily and proudly

God watches

My humility and His Divinity

Playing together. ```

11.

```

Can there be anything

More fruitful than

My sweetness-fragrance

Progress-heart-home? ```

12.

```

Why do I love and look at

The beauty and purity

Of the world?

Because

They take away instantly

My own ugliness

And impurity

For my much-needed

Transformation.

```

13.

```

Ignorance-torture

Unconsciously

Has awakened me

To pray for God-rapture. ```

14.

```

The world

Is really beautiful

Because

So my heart

Has imagined it.

```

15.

```

God will never allow

A true God-seeker

To waste time,

For each moment

In God-aspiration,

In God-realisation

And

In God-manifestation

Is so important.

```

16.

```

Even from an iota

Of my patience,

I have come to learn

How wise, illumining

And fulfilling

God eternally is. ```

17.

```

If you are a true seeker

And

Want God-manifestation,

How can you then enjoy

Your chronic

Self-absorption? ```

18.

```

No matter

What the world

Thinks of me,

I am, indeed,

A God-lover

In my own right. ```

19.

```

Gratitude

And surrender-flights

Know no turbulence

In the sunlit sky. ```

20.

```

My heart and I

Are so happy

That insecurity

Has finally drawn

Its last breath.

```

21.

```

Surrender, surrender,

Surrender unconditionally!

Yours will be an inner

Ecstasy-flooded life. ```

22.

```

Alas,

How I wish

Somebody would tell me

What my heart's

Daily true needs are!

```

23.

```

Every day

I meet God

In His Heart's

Silence-Illumination-Sea. ```

24.

```

Alas,

It is my own jealous mind

That destroys

My heart's

Sweet hope-dreams.

```

25.

```

O my unaspiring mind,

You are neither needed

Nor wanted.

You are just tolerated. ```

26.

```

What I always need

Is not a publicity-mind

But a purity-heart.

```

27.

```

O my silence-rainbow,

May I fly

With your

Heaven-climbing wings? ```

28.

```

If you are

A chosen God-dreamer,

Then before long

Your life's

Ignorance-nightmare

Will come to an end. ```

29.

```

Only

A tranquillity-flooded heart

Can be the possessor

Of beautiful, soulful

And fruitful tears.

```

30.

```

As love of God

Without prayer

Is impossible,

Even so,

Peace of mind

Without meditation

Is impossible.

```

31.

```

Harmony shall echo

And re-echo

Throughout the length

And breadth of the world

When each human being

Values the beauty

And divinity

Of self-offering. ```

32.

```

In my universal

Oneness-heart-nest,

No earth-bound desire-bird

Will ever be allowed

To take rest.

```

33.

```

Nothing is impossible.

There shall come a time

When I shall definitely

Be able

To move my searching mind

From ignorance-pathways. ```

34.

```

The unwillingness

Of the mind

Has to surrender eventually

To the streaming tears

Of the heart.

```

35.

```

O my mind,

I do not think anybody

Is willing to pay attention

To your

Ruthless and shameless

Indifference-life. ```

36.

```

God neither imposes

Nor exposes.

He just proposes

Out of His infinite

Compassion-Light.

```

37.

```

O my mind,

Do you not remember

That there was a time

When you loved God

Most dearly?

If you do not

Remember the time,

Let me tell you.

It was before the time

When you made friends

With fear, doubt,

Anxiety and despair. ```

38.

```

O my life, O my life,

My heart must do

What it has to do.

You cannot and must not

Stand in my heart's way.

```

39.

```

My Lord,

Please tell me why

You have created thoughts:

To punish me

Or to illumine me?

"My child,

The thoughts

That your mind creates

For you

Are for your punishment.

The thoughts

That I create for you

Are for your

Enlightenment." ```

40.

```

When God comes to you,

He brings with Him

His transcendental Dream.

When you go to God,

You should take with you

Your earth-liberated reality. ```

41.

```

As a glimpse of God

Can give you

A taste of trance,

Even so,

A glimpse of God

Can make you

His direct representative

On earth. ```

42.

```

I have two teachers:

The soul and the mind

The soul teaches me

God-acceptance-songs.

The mind teaches me

Life-possession-dance. ```

43.

```

God and God's Peace-Hours

Are fast approaching me

Because

I am now grown into

My heart's

Unconditional breath. ```

44.

```

Every day

My Lord Supreme

Wants me to multiply

My heart's

Sincerity-purity-smiles.

```

45.

```

Alas,

I do not know why and how

I have lost

My heart's

Aspiration-hunger

And my life's

Dedication-thirst.

```

46.

```

The indomitable

Power of faith

Will eventually conquer

All mountain-barriers

Of our desiring and

Unaspiring mind. ```

47.

```

God does not want

To expose

Your mind's stupidity

And your heart's impurity.

He just wants to plant

His own Divinity

Inside your Heaven-longing

Necessity. ```

48.

```

O my mind,

You are helping

The wrong parties

If you are siding with

The haughtiness

Of your vital

And

The laziness

Of your body.

```

49.

```

May invisible inspiration

Be found inside my mind.

May invisible aspiration

Be found inside my heart.

May invisible enthusiasm

Be found inside my vital.

May invisible awareness

Be found inside my body.

May invisible perfection

Be found inside

All that I do

And all that I become. ```

50.

```

The God-hunger-song

Of the ancient sages

Must be learned

By the modern world

To please

The Absolute Lord Supreme

Once more in His own Way.

```

51.

```

What I need

Is a quenchless thirst

For the perfection of

My mind

And the satisfaction of

My Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

52.

```

There can be

No iota of confusion

In the shrine of my heart.

But confusion

Can be endless

Inside my mind-temple. ```

53.

```

My Lord,

Were You looking for me?

Alas, I was in

My darkness-mind-room.

My Lord,

Will You once more

Look for me?

This time

You will definitely find me

Inside

My aspiration-heart-room.
