My sisters and brothers of the world,
Are we so blind that we cannot seeGod's own Autograph
On Mother Teresa's forehead? ```Mother,
To be in your blessingful presenceIs to breathe in
A breath of living compassion. ```Mother,
A single whisper from youHas transformed thousands of non-believers
And disbelievers. ```If any dying sufferer on earth
Needs someone to cry for him,With him and in him,
Then he can unmistakably seeMother Teresa's all-embracing arms
Faster than the fastestApproaching him.
```To be in the presence of Mother Teresa
Is to establish friendshipWith invaluable moments.
```Mother Teresa tells us
That the right choice,And the only choice,
Is the Christ's Compassion-Heart. ```Mother Teresa's heart
Shall forever remain untouchedBy the shadows of fears and doubts.
```With a single glance,
Mother Teresa enlightensOur crying eyes, searching minds
And aspiring hearts. ```Mother Teresa does many, many things
For the betterment of the world,But when she washes away
The untold sufferingsOf the unloved ones
With her heart's streaming tears —That is by far the best.
```Mother Teresa is
The dreamer of happinessIn the heart of
Suffering, imprisoned humanity. ```When Mother Teresa approaches
Ill-fated sufferers,What does she say?
'Do not worry, my child, God is coming.Indeed, I see in you the living presence
Of Jesus Christ Himself.' ```Mother Teresa's life-boat plies
Between the destination-shoresOf her own grandmother-soul
And her own grandchild-heart. ```Mother Teresa tells the whole world
That a heart of loveIs Infinitely stronger
Than we can ever imagine. ```When I look at my compassion-eyes,
I clearly see that my eyesCan never be filled.
And when I look at Mother Teresa's eyes,I clearly see that her compassion-eyes
Can never be emptied. ```Mother Teresa time and again tells us
That a smile from the heartKnows no replacement.
```In her blessingful presence,
It is not she, but weWho gladly and instantly chop down
Our proud, giant mind-trees. ```Mother Teresa always reminds us
That each difficultyIs nothing short of God's Confidence
In us. ```With her Infinity's compassion-heart,
Mother Teresa is every dayEmbracing countless, sorrowful hearts
Of forthcoming centuries. ```Mother Teresa tells
Not only her suffering patients,But also each and every human being,
'The answer to life is not self-doubt-imprisonment,But self-discovery-enlightenment.
We are all God's children.' ```The moment I think of Mother Teresa,
I immediately step forward in faith,God-faith.
```Mother Teresa tells her dying patients
That God's Heart-RoomKnows no closed doors.
```Mother Teresa tells us
That if we want to succeedIn the battlefield of life,
Then we must never separateLife from compassion.
```The faith-bird in Mother Teresa
Sings and dancesLong before it sees the clearing dawn.
```What does she tell her patients?
She tells them,'Look, look, God is all ready to blossom
In you!He is His sleepless Thirst for you.'
```Mother Teresa tells her patients
That God's Dream-FulfilmentIs definitely attainable in and through them.
```Mother Teresa lovingly and tenderly
Advises usNot to hesitate in accelerating
The manifestation of our heart-smiles. ```Is there anybody on earth
Who will not see eye to eye with usWhen we say that Mother Teresa
Is indeed God's special WayTo comfort the suffering and bleeding humanity?
```Mother,
We claim to loveYour compassion-heart,
But you love to claimOur affliction-lives.
```O Absolute Lord Supreme,
You have made our MotherThe embodiment of compassion.
Do make usThe embodiment of gratitude.
```The moment I come
And stand in Mother Teresa's blessingful presence,I see nothing but waves of smiles
Flowing from her compassion-flooded eyes. ```Some pieces of advice
From Mother Teresa:Think of others first,
Always;Let faith in the power of love
Excel in your life;Remove all your self-destructive,
Negative thoughts;Every minute do something
To make all the children of GodHappy and smiling.
```Mother Teresa has numberless friends,
But her very best friendIs her heart's silence-prayer.
```In her we see the revelation
Of her Eternity's soul,And the full manifestation
Of her Divinity's heart. ```Mother Teresa tells us
To do two things simultaneously:To touch God’s Feet
With our humility-mind;To feel God’s Heart
With our purity-life. ```Mother Teresa tells us:
'Do not hesitate!It is already too late.
Put the LordIn every corner of your life
Prayerfully and self-givingly.' ```Sleeplessly and breathlessly,
With giant eagerness-strides,Mother Teresa is paving the way
For a sickness and bitterness-free world. ```Twenty-four hours a day
Mother Teresa lives insideHer golden heart and silver tongue.
```Mother Teresa shows us
How we can hold our sorrowful outer lifeUp to our own inner light
By virtue of our sincere prayers. ```Mother Teresa tells us
That in order to be truly happyWe must unreservedly feel our oneness-heart
With the breath of the poor. ```Each and every poor life
And sick bodyReceives from Mother Teresa's heart
A consolation-prizeAnd from her soul
An illumination-surprise. ```Mother Teresa reminds us
Of something extremely significant:Power itself has no true power.
Power has power only whenLove-compassion-blossoms are found
Inside it. ```How profusely and immensely
Mother Teresa inspires us to seeThe God-aspiring, God-inspiring
And God-serving life-treeInside our own heart-garden!
```The moment Mother Teresa
Approaches a poor, hungry heart,God Himself spreads
A Compassion-Feast. ```Although Mother has seen 87 summers,
Fatigue does not dare to sit On her sleepless enthusiasm.Mother Teresa is not blind to
The world's shortcomings,But her forgiveness-heart
Is larger than the largest.Therefore, she is able to house
All the world's shortcomings. ```She has a special message for mankind:
Pray and pray and prayFor the fulfilment
Of all your dreams.She also tells us:
Life is not for complaining.Life is for self-perfection.
Life is for God-satisfaction. ```It is true
That Heaven heals earth's sorrows.It is equally true
That a Heaven-born childBy the name of Teresa
Self-givingly heals earth's sorrowsIn boundless measure.
```When you are in front of Mother Teresa,
Earthbound desires leave youAnd Heaven-born desires enter into you.
These Heaven-born desires are:To feed the poor,
To serve the needy.Lo, you will see that
The redeemer and the suffererAre none other
Than Christ Himself. ```Not only unique but unsurpassable
She will forever remainIn lighting the hope-candles of countless lives
With her heart's sun-faith-flames. ```When we soulfully offer Mother
What we have:A gratitude-heart,
She blesses usWith what she is:
Her Infinity's energy-life. ```Every day Mother Teresa invites
True God-servers for the poorAnd the needy
To enjoy an ego-fat-free life,Which is the most delicious God-Bliss-diet.
```When Mother Teresa bathes
The patients fast-approaching deathWith her compassion-heart,
Compassion-eyes andCompassion-hands,
Her soul and her Lord JesusBathe in the sea of Infinity's Ecstasy.
```Service, service, service!
Mother Teresa wants us to serveGod the creation
Sleeplessly and breathlessly,And when we ask her
What will happen if we serveGod the way
She wants us to serve Him,Mother tells us:
'Come and see me!For you, I am the fastest escalator
To God's floor of Delight!' ```She tells us to fight off
The waves of constant fearWhile nursing the death-bound patients.
Lo, we become the beautyOf the Mother Earth;
We become the FragranceOf Father Heaven.
```The moment I imagine
The Mother's Eternity's service-eyes,I become the world-inspiration-starter.
The moment I feelHer Infinity's service-heart,
I become the world-champion-winner. ```Mother Teresa's blessingful message
To us is this:The end is freedom from living and dying.
The end is eternal life.Until then, patience.
```Something more she tells us:
Forgive and forgive quickly.Even slow forgiveness
Is infinitely betterThan no forgiveness.
```Finally, the most important message
From Mother Teresa Echoes and re-echoesin our aspiration-heart:
God is constantly watchingOur love-devotion-surrender-watch.
Our heart responds to His Whispering,Our life to His Beckoning.
