Nothing can be sweeter
Than my life'sUnconditional God-surrender-sweetness.
```God-love is the only love
That quenchesOur satisfaction-desperate thirst.
```If you allow your mind
To blindfold you,How can you ever see
God's Compassion-illumination-FootprintsOn your aspiration-life-shore?
```You are bound to miss God's Boat
Sailing to the Golden ShoreIf your life is empty of
Smiling eagerness-surrender. ```O my life's service-boat,
On you sail at the lightning-speedOf your willingness-mind
And your eagerness-heart! ```God protects me
From jumping out of His BoatWhen I shun
My love of ignorance-choice. ```You are a rank fool
If you want to love GodOnly after waiting
For all other loveTo fail you first.
```The belief of the doubting mind
Is indeed bondage.The belief of the self-giving heart
Is indeed oneness-freedomAnd fulness-delight.
```For my perfection-life
I need only the GodWho reprimands my mind
And commands my heart. ```God wants me to tell Him
What I know about the world-heartAnd not what I think of the world-mind.
```If you are happy
With your fleeting moments,Then God will make you happier
By blessing youWith His everlasting Day.
```The courage to live in God
I have.What I now need is the courage
To live for God. ```If you cannot have implicit faith
First in GodAnd then in the spiritual life,
Sooner or laterYou will collapse under the weight
Of worries and anxieties. ```God does not know
The meaning of lending.He knows only the meaning
Of giving, giving and giving. ```I want to live between
My soul's blessingsAnd my heart's gratitude.
```In the spiritual life
Every day what we needIs the renewal of our
God-gratitude-fulness. ```My Lord, the moment I look at You,
My desire-thoughts disappearIn Your Compassion-Light-Eye.
```The human childhood
Does end,But the divine childhood
Does not and cannot end. ```Our desire-mind conceals
But our aspiration-heart revealsThe grandeur-face of our soul.
```My Lord, my only prayer
Is to have YouIn every heartbeat
Of my aspiration-breath. ```When I please God in His own Way,
He brings to the foreA million Smiles from His Heart
To bless me. ```O my mind,
I want you to swimEvery day
In the sea of my life'sGod-dedication-bliss.
```O my seeker-friend,
You must realiseThat your faith in God
Will definitely silenceYour mind's doubt-storms.
```Nothing can pierce
The mind's happinessAs ruthlessly
As a negative thought! ```If you are an obedient seeker,
Then God and God's CompassionWill always remain
At your disposal. ```Every day
God deposits His Compassion-SmilesInside my heart-bank,
And He never makes a withdrawal. ```How can you expect
God's Compassion-EyeAnd His Satisfaction-Heart
To play with youIf you do not care
To obey Him? ```I am so happy
That I have reached at lastThe point of no return
On my God-Destination-Road. ```O pride,
Do you have anythingTo be proud of
Except your shameless stupidity? ```My heart says to my mind,
"O mind, tell meAll about your plans.
In how many ways are youPreparing yourself
To break my Master's heart?" ```I am fated to doom
The moment I think ofDesire-fulfilment.
I am destined to bloomThe moment I meditate on
God-manifestation. ```God has Himself said
Many, many timesThat His full manifestation on earth
Will definitely take place,In spite of the blind unwillingness
Of unreceptive mankind. ```Is there any human being
Who does not wantComplete fulfilment
Without having to meetAll of God's requirements?
```When you have a free access
To God's Heart,Everything that you say and do
Will be from your firsthandExperience-light.
```If you reject yourself all the time,
How can you be fulfilled?Again, if you respect yourself unduly,
How can you be happy? ```God's blessingful Smiles
In our aspiration-lifeAre always more numerous
Than we can ever imagine. ```If you do not keep
Your heart's aspiration-flamesAlive every day,
Then your soul's soaring dreamsWill fade into oblivion.
```O seeker, be careful!
If you want to continueTo please God in God's own Way,
Then never loseYour aspiration-heart-door-key.
```If you live inside
Your doubting mindAnd strangling vital,
Your God-manifestation-dreamsWill be completely shattered.
```No desire lives forever.
Therefore, do not surrenderTo your desire-mind.
At God's choice HourYour own aspiration-heart
Will come to bless and embrace you. ```O seeker,
God never wanted you to liveAn unhappiness-attachment-life.
O seeker,Since you are wallowing
In your weakness-enjoyment,What right do you have
To criticise God? ```My mind has given up
Its bitterness.It has invited the sweetness
Of my aspiration-heart. ```God's Smile does not want
To destroy our mind.It wants only
To illumine our mind. ```The most I can do for God
Is remain silentWhen the outer world
Does not understandMy love for Him.
```The self-giving goodness
Of the heartIs the pure beauty
Of life. ```The sooner you realise
That expectation is your true enemy,The better for you.
```O my stupid mind,
How can you ever be happyIf you long for happiness
On your own terms? ```A God-searching mind
Needs sweetness.A God-longing heart
Needs happiness. ```God-necessity
Will always be fedBy fulfilment-capacity.
```Do not forget to return
God's Compassion-CallsIf you really value
His Eternity'sGolden Boat-Journey.
