```
Good God, give me perfection-advice.I am all ears, and even all willingness-heart.
``````
Every day my soulTells my heart
Many things on the Q.T. ``````
I am at a loss when I seeMy aspiration sleeping and snoring.
``````
Body, my body,Although you are a do-gooder,
I love you deeply. ``````
All is amiss, all is amiss,The moment my confusion-mind
Enters into my aspiration-heart. ``````
Both my heart and mindAre babes in the wood
When an inner problem arises. ``````
I always speak under my breathWhen I advise the God-seekers.
``````
God’s Heart has oceans of Nectar-Delight.Drink! Drink! Drink as much as you want to.
``````
Early morning is always the best timeFor children to study.
They must not burn the midnight oil. ``````
Forever you cannot remainA supreme monarch.
One day you, too, have to kiss the dust. ```Alas, my mind’s peace-discovery
Is nothing but a mare’s nest. ``````
Have you no heart of sympathy?How could you beat him black and blue?
``````
By no means shall I believe you.You are insincerity incarnate.
``````
Fear and doubt are alwaysHand in glove with each other.
``````
I showed him the doorAnd did not want to hear
His useless justification. ``````
Do not poke fun at anyone.It hurts them badly.
``````
I feel sorry for the poppycock talkers.God, give them a little light,
So that they do not open their big mouths! ``````
No comparison, no comparison.He is head and shoulders above all his friends.
``````
I am so sad thatMy father’s days are numbered.
``````
Just tell me quickly.You do not have to
Go into particulars. ``````
I do not want to win the raceBy hook or by crook.
``````
I am begging youNot to put a damper
On my project divine. ``````
I shall take you to taskIf you do not tell me the complete truth.
``````
I was on tenterhooks to know the resultsOf my aspiration-dedication-examination.
``````
I shall spring a surprise upon youBy defeating you in tennis tomorrow.
``````
For the last five years,My desire-mind and my aspiration-heart
Have not been on speaking terms. ``````
Alas, my desire-frustrationsAre going up by leaps and bounds.
``````
He will out-Herod HerodIn torturing countless lives.
``````
It would be infra dig for meTo tell you the spotted untruth.
``````
Do not nettle me.I am already surrendered
To my poor fate. ``````
How dare you stare me in the face? ``````
I badly need your help.Offer me no whys and wherefores
As to why you cannot help me. ``````
For you to be a tennis champIs like crying for the moon.
``````
Alas, alas, you are fishingFor compliments in vain.
``````
He is a past master in deceiving everybody. ``````
Since you told a blatant lie,Your life itself is at stake.
``````
Everybody knows my foolish mistakes.For God’s sake, do not rake them up now!
``````
If you need any favour from me,Then you must come to me in person.
``````
I trust him; he is always level-headed. ``````
Do not extol me to the skies.I deserve it not.
``````
If you have come here to borrow money,Then you have come to the wrong shop.
``````
He is so undisciplined.He leaves everything at sixes and sevens.
```If you believe in your life’s inner progress-delight,
Then give up at once the habit of spinning yarns. ``````
Do not hurt him, poor fellow,He is on his last legs.
``````
He has done everything wrongTherefore, he has no leg to stand on.
``````
I did give you some rope.To my great sorrow,
You have badly misused it. ``````
It is beneath my dignityTo go to the movies at any time.
``````
I am so sorry.I should have put you in the picture
About my success at the tennis tournament. ``````
It takes me three hours to finish my exercises.But, at a pinch, I can do them in two hours.
``````
Alas, my heartIs as unfeeling as rocks!
``````
Alas, your thoughtsAre as distant as the horizon.
``````
Although they are friends,Their views are as opposite as the poles.
``````
Each heartHas to be as sacred
As a shrine. ``````
Everybody has to beAs brave as Achilles.
``````
Everything he says is as trueAs the gospel.
``````
For God’s Compassion-Light,My heart is as thirsty as a sponge.
``````
His is a mind as tranquilAs the summer sea.
``````
I am always as hopefulAs the break of day.
``````
I want to be as confident as Hercules. ``````
Keep your mindAs fresh as dew.
``````
My brother is as brainless as a chimpanzee. ``````
True, my heart is aspiration-starvation.But, O my mind, shed not your crocodile-tears.
``````
I shall do my level best every day,To free my heart from my mind-jungle.
``````
The doubtful mindAnd the fearful heart
Always walk arm-in-arm. ``````
I know I have done something wrong.But you must not rub it in.
``````
You are always out of pocket.This time I am not helping you.
``````
There is no hard and fast ruleThat I cannot please God every day
In His own Way. ``````
My mind, stop speaking ill of my heart!You give me a pain in the neck.
``````
My stupid mind, how do you dareTo lead my wisdom-heart by the nose?
``````
My heart is scared to death,When it sees a well-heeled man.
``````
I need no counsel from anyone.I know what is what.
``````
Be happy, remain happy.The perfection of your nature,
Is just a question of time. ``````
You called me a liarAnd I called you a fool.
So now we are quits. ``````
You are a jack of all trades.But I love you because you and I
Are sailing in the same boat. ``````
What you are telling meGoes against the grain.
Therefore, you cannot satisfy me. ``````
When he heard his mother wasTaken to the hospital,
He went to the hospital like a shot. ``````
We were all in seventh heaven,When we won the game.
``````
You do not have to payAny attention to him.
He is no great shakes.Nobody takes him seriously.
``````
Whatever he says in company,Is always out of place.
``````
Be not rude to anybody.If you do,
You’ll have to take your medicine. ``````
When you tell him to do something,Be prepared:
He will make hay of it. ``````
Nobody came to meWhen I was down at heels.
``````
My stupid friend, where did you go?I have been searching for you high and low.
``````
When I missed my flight, I was leftHigh and dry at the airport.
``````
When I told him thatHe had won the race,
He was pleased as punch. ``````
Your desire-fulfilment is on the anvil. ``````
You are totally mistaken.I am not a small fry.
``````
The long and short of the whole matterIs that you have succeeded in awakening
Many souls. ``````
I have not studied my lessons.Therefore, I have not the ghost of a chance
Of succeeding in the examination. ``````
Badly I need your help.Do lend me a hand.
``````
The day I do good meditation,I consider that day as a red-letter day.
``````
Nobody is exemptFrom foolish activities
In his salad days. ``````
I shall give you everythingAt a sacrifice.
``````
I shall leave no stone unturnedTo help you and save your life.
``````
I know not whyYou have split up
With your best friend. ``````
Tell me my brother-friendWhose life is not full of zig-zags?
``````
Because of my aspiration-famineMy life has become zero.
Alas, it is ending in smoke. ``````
O God-lover, be a man of sincere profession.Otherwise you are no better than a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
``````
The complete surrenderOf my doubtful mind
Is an open-mouthed wonder. ``````
Because he is a down-to-earth man,He is always confident in what he says and does.
``````
No matter what he says on spirituality,It’s double Dutch to me.
``````
Be not as ambitious as Lady Macbeth. ``````
Be not as proud as Lucifer. ``````
I have heard many oratorsAs eloquent as Cicero.
``````
I need a heart as mild as a dove. ``````
I need a mind as active as quicksilver. ```My father’s mind
Is as firm as the Rocky Mountains. ``````
Nobody asked you to be as unhappy as King Lear. ``````
Nobody likes a manAs talkative as a magpie.
``````
The human mindIs as unstable as the wind.
``````
Who can feed you well?You are always as voracious as a camel.
``````
Your heart is as beautiful as the rainbow. ``````
Your mind is as arid as the sands of Sahara. ``````
Your thoughts are as rapid as lightning. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,No problem, I am my gorgeous smile, 1989
