The New Millennium

Part I — Poems

1.

```

Twenty-First Century, the New Millennium!

No more the old sorrows and joys-compendium.

God's Heart, God's Eye, a new hope and a new promise!

O run and dive and fly — Bliss, Infinity's Bliss!

The world shall cheer the road with a God-surrender-song.

Creator's Silence-Hearts, creation's sound-lives throng. ```

2.

```

O New Millennium,

You come and stand before me.

For me, you are a divine guest.

You come to me with love divine.

I call you my own.

The moment you appear before me,

In you I feel my ever-growing newness

And ever-fulfilling oneness. ```

3.

```

We usher in the New Millennium

To grow into

Its beauty and fragrance

Infinite. ```

4.

```

Each blossoming century

Begins with a new Hope

From God's Heart

And a new Promise

From God's Eye.

```

5.

```

The 21st Century

Shall begin its stupendous journey

With an amazing heart-cry

For God's Forgiveness. ```

6.

```

In the 21st Century

God is asking me

To follow Him untiringly,

For He is planning to place

Our mutual victory-crown

On my head. ```

7.

```

Where shall I live in the 21st Century?

I shall live in two places:

God's Sweetness-Heartbeat

And

Man's pilgrim-heart-temple.

```

8.

```

The 21st Century

Is fast approaching.

May each human being remember

His Himalayan promises to God

And start fulfilling them.

```

9.

```

May the New Millennium

Usher in God's new Dream,

God's new Promise

And God's new Satisfaction,

To liberate humanity

From the throes

Of ignorance-bondage.

```

10.

```

In the 20th Century

Every day I woke up

With streaming tears

In my eyes. ```

11.

```

In the 21st Century

Every day I shall wake up

With blossoming smiles

In my heart. ```

12.

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Is making a solemn Promise to me

That every day He will come to me

With a fountain of His choice Blessings

To help me manifest His Light

Everywhere

Under the rainbow-smile-sky

Of the 21st Century. ```

13.

```

The truth-seekers and God-lovers

Will undoubtedly be given

Special opportunity

To spread their hearts' sunshine

Everywhere

In the New Millennium. ```

14.

```

The New Millennium will teach me

That the endless Goal

Is inseparably one

With the endless Journey. ```

15.

```

The devotion-musician in me

Is all ready to play

God's Song of Love

Upon my heart-strings

In the New Millennium.

```

16.

```

My Lord,

May I see the arrival

Of the New Millennium

Through my wide-open heart-door

And not through my closed mind-window.

```

17.

```

My Lord Supreme whispers

Deep within my heart

That only my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Shall be rooted and grounded

In the most fertile soil

Of the 21st Century.

```

18.

```

May all uncomely memories

Of the 20th Century

Fade away from my mind

As rapidly as possible! ```

19.

```

I wish to remember only one thing:

That I was made only of God's Joy

To become God's toy

In the New Millennium. ```

20.

```

One desire I had;

The same desire I still have.

I am sure the fulfilment of that desire

Shall take place in the New Millennium.

And what is that desire?

My constant companionship

With my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

21.

```

From the aspiration

Of the New Millennium

I shall come to learn

That it is impossible

To love God too much.

```

22.

```

In the 20th Century

We have not succeeded

In conquering the godless spirit

Of our age.

But in the 21st Century

We shall undoubtedly succeed. ```

23.

```

It is the bounden duty

Of the truth-seekers and God-lovers

Of the New Millennium

To transform the old decadence of the mind

Into a new renaissance of the heart.

```

24.

```

Lo, what is leaving us

Upon the arrival of the 21st Century?

Our impoverished doubt-mind.

And lo, what is embracing us?

The plenitude of a faith-heart.

```

25.

```

The old millennium says

To the New Millennium:

"My Brother,

Do not make the same mistakes

That I made!"

```

26.

```

I hear the sweetness-whispers

Of the New Millennium

Inside my Heaven-climbing heart.

```

27.

```

The New Millennium is commanding me:

"Smile, smile, smile!

Lo, I have brought you

A hope-sea and a promise-sun." ```

28.

```

In the 20th Century

I was my mind-drum.

In the 21st Century

I shall become my heart-flute.

I am sure my Lord's Compassion-Smile

Will pass through me. ```

29.

```

I want to be a child

Of the next century,

When I will be a genuine self-giver

For the full manifestation

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

30.

```

Each God-manifestation-dreamer

On earth

Is a supreme herald

Of a new age. ```

31.

```

My life, be not afraid!

Be brave!

God Himself will hail

Each and every forward step of yours

Into the heart-country

Of the 21st Century. ```

32.

```

God wants me to grow and glow

In the aspiration-heart

Of the New Millennium.

```

33.

```

Let us be prepared to welcome

The fast-approaching promise-blossoms

Of a new century.

```

34.

```

My prayer-eye

I shall devotedly turn upward.

My meditation-eye

I shall unconditionally turn inward.

This, indeed, is my solemn promise

To myself

In the 21st Century.

```

35.

```

In the New Millennium,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

God will give us the capacity

To recapture

Our sweetness-moments with Him.

```

36.

```

Today, what I call

Communion with God,

Tomorrow that very thing

Will become God's and my

Ultimate reunion.

```

37.

```

I wish to be oblivious

To each and every thing

Save and except my God-worship

In the New Millennium. ```

38.

```

O 21st Century,

I would like you to be a witness

While my Lord and I

Feed and nourish each other

With the exchange of our smiles.

```

39.

```

O divine flames

Of the 21st Century's love,

Do burn my past here and now.

Carry me and place me

Inside your ever-blossoming heart.

```

40.

```

A new century is a new life.

A new life is a new second.

A new second is a new opportunity.

A new opportunity is a new Blessing

From the Infinite Supreme.

```

41.

```

I can clearly see

That the 20th Century's

Phantom-nights

Will soon be cleared away

By the fast-approaching

21st Century. ```

42.

```

God's Compassion-Rain descended

In measureless measure on humanity

In the 20th Century.

Humanity did not rejoice — nay,

Did not even take notice of it.

```

43.

```

In the New Millennium

God's Compassion-Rain shall again descend

In measureless measure.

And this time it will be greeted by

Humanity's wide-open receptivity-heart-door.

```

44.

```

God tells us

That He has already erased

His dissatisfaction-memories.

How is it that we

Are not doing the same?

Why?

Why do we have to wait

For the arrival of the next century? ```

45.

```

Today's God-climbing cry

And tomorrow's God-descending Smile

Cannot live without each other.

```

46.

```

O seeker,

God will definitely be proud of you

If you can make even an iota of progress

With your tiny aspiration-dedication-steps

In the New Millennium.

```

47.

```

On the eve of the New Millennium,

A new consciousness is dawning on earth.

God once again is inspiring

Each creation of His

With new hope, new light, new peace

And new joy. ```

48.

```

In the New Millennium

May God the Creator

Be victorious

In the life of God the creation. ```

49.

```

The New Millennium

Shall be the embodiment

Of sacred hopes

And lofty promises. ```

50.

```

The fulfilment of the mind

Has been the hope

Of the past few centuries.

Now the fulfilment of the heart

Will be the hope

Of the next generation

And of all generations to come.

Indeed, this will be a unique contribution

Of the 21st Century to humanity.

```

51.

```

In the New Millennium

Humanity in general will follow

Its unerring intuition,

Not its confusing, confused,

Binding and blinding mind.

```

52.

```

The 20th Century has been

A large quantity of the mind's

Unfulfilled hopes.

```

53.

```

The 21st Century will undoubtedly be

An unlimited quantity of the heart's

Illumining and fulfilling hopes.

```

54.

```

God has already commanded

His heart-children

To confiscate all the self-doubt

And God-doubt-books

Written by the 20th Century mind.

```

55.

```

God wants the heart to write

In the New Millennium

An infinite number of self-faith,

World-faith and God-faith-books. ```

56.

```

In the 20th Century

Humanity prayed

With the thunder-sound

Of the mind. ```

57.

```

In the New Millennium

Humanity shall pray

With the sweetness-dreams

Of the heart.

God and God's Heart

Shall give an immediate

Satisfaction-Pride-Response.

```

58.

```

In the 20th Century

Humanity's weak faith

Could not see things

That were not only visible

But also clearly within sight.

```

59.

```

In the 21st Century

Faith will unmistakably see

Not only things

That are totally out of sight,

But even things invisible.

Faith will see

The beauty and power of Light

Everywhere,

Even in the farthest corners of the globe.

```

60.

```

In the 20th Century

The mind-jungle produced nothing

But worthless and useless weeds.

```

61.

```

In the 21st Century

The heart-garden will produce

Divinity's Blooms

And Immortality's Blossoms. ```

62.

```

If we are true God-lovers,

Then no mind-obscurity can block

Our God-manifestation-horizon

In the 21st Century. ```

63.

```

May we all pray

Only for God's Leadership

In the life of humanity

In the 21st Century. ```

64.

```

God always gives us the freedom of choice.

Quite often we do not make the proper choice.

But in the 21st Century

We shall not only make proper choices,

But also utilise them to the fullest extent.

```

65.

```

May I both consciously and unconsciously

Do always the right thing

And not disappoint my Beloved Supreme

Even once

In the New Millennium.

```

66.

```

If we do not happily leave behind

The achievements of the 20th Century

And go forward,

We shall not be able to welcome

Lovingly and self-givingly

The arrival of the 21st Century. ```

67.

```

The 21st Century

Will definitely respond

Readily, willingly and unreservedly

To those who are in need

Of beauty, power, light and delight.

```

68.

```

O Supreme Pilot of the New Millennium,

Do make my heart and my life

Your two most faithful dogs

And Your two fastest deers. ```

69.

```

My whole being

Is eager to devour

The beauty and fragrance

Of the New Millennium. ```

70.

```

My Lord,

Do give me the champion-speed

To reach the heart

Of the New Millennium

Sooner than the soonest.

```

71.

```

In the 20th Century

I enjoyed my life

In an unillumined way.

But in the New Millennium

I shall have only one way:

The way of my Inner Pilot. ```

72.

```

In the 20th Century

The human in me

Did many unpleasant things

To both humanity and Divinity.

But in the 21st Century

The divine in me

Will have no time for anything else

But to please God. ```

73.

```

Every day I shall make

My determination infinitely stronger

To offer something supremely worthwhile

To God

For His full manifestation here on earth

In the New Millennium. ```

74.

```

From the New Millennium

I shall come to learn

That my aspiration, my dedication,

My salvation, my realisation

And my liberation I shall receive

From my complete God-dependence. ```

75.

```

Alas, my heart is now very feeble

In God-devotion.

But I strongly promise to myself

That the beauty and fragrance

Of my unconditional devotion

Shall, without fail, reach God's Feet

From the new year on.

```

76.

```

In the New Millennium

I shall not allow

Either self-doubt or God-doubt

To cast its shadow

Over my God-aspiring

And God-serving existence. ```

77.

```

In the New Millennium

I shall find my life-boat

Being steered by God Himself

Between

My God-affirmation-prayer-life-shore

And

My God-affirmation-meditation-heart-shore.

```

78.

```

Where can my dying hope

Have a new life,

If not in the heart

Of the New Millennium? ```

79.

```

Where can my unfulfilled

God-manifestation-promise be fulfilled,

If not in the heart

Of the New Millennium? ```

80.

```

O New Millennium, O New Millennium!

You are your blue sky's thunder-drum!

Hope-mountain climbing,

Promise-fountain dancing.

Earth's peace and Heaven's Bliss

Call me, "Come, come, come!" ```

81.

```

Twenty-first Century,

A fully blossomed tree.

Twenty-first Century,

A oneness-heart free.

Twenty-first Century,

A fulness-life-sea. ```

82.

```

Twenty-first Century,

No more hungry penury.

Twenty-first Century,

A newness-fulness-glory.

Twenty-first Century,

World-transformation-story. ```

83.

```

Twenty-first Century,

I shall become the worshipper

Of Truth Absolute.

Twenty-first Century,

I shall become the beckoning hand

Of the world-liberation. ```

84.

```

Twenty-first Century!

O Heaven's Beauty and Fragrance,

Do come down, come down,

Chasing darkness. ```

85.

```

Twenty-First Century, Twenty-first Century,

Twenty-first Century!

You are the abode of mankind's dream.

Twenty-first Century, Twenty-first Century,

Twenty-first Century!

In the vastness of the blue sky,

You are the liberation-kite of humanity's new heart.

Twenty-first Century, Twenty-first Century,

Twenty-first Century!

You are at once the Hunger unfathomable

And Satisfaction immeasurable

Of the universal and transcendental Father Supreme.

Twenty-first Century, Twenty-first Century,

Twenty-first Century!

You are Infinity's Compassion-Eye.

Do come and steal my heart! ```

86.

```

What shall I do in the 21st Century?

I shall only fly and fly

On my life's newness-wings

And fulness-smiles

To please my Beloved Lord Supreme.

```

87.

```

Twenty-first Century, Twenty-first Century,

Twenty-first Century!

You will utterly destroy the darkness-wall

Of ignorance-night.

The delicate softness-touch of your new light

Shall awaken the slumbering world.

Your Infinity's immortal Satisfaction

Heaven and earth shall together treasure and enjoy. ```

88.

```

Tomorrow's joy is fast approaching

To transform our today's suffering.

Let us not suspect tomorrow's smile.

Let us embrace and be embraced

By tomorrow's aspiration and dedication

In the New Millennium. ```

89.

```

Alas, so far this world of ours

Has not cried for God

To God's Satisfaction.

In the New Millennium

May it powerfully compensate!

```

90.

```

In this century

We are only plagued by our conscience,

And nothing more.

But in the forthcoming century

Our aspiration and dedication

Shall offer abundant joy

To our God-oneness-conscience-will.

```

91.

```

The New Millennium

Will never demand of us

A mountain-silence-sanctuary,

But a fountain-silence-sound-life-experiment

And life-enlightenment-laboratory.

```

92.

```

In The New Millennium

We shall learn something unprecedented:

How to accomplish invaluable things

Without hurting a single human being. ```

93.

```

In the New Millennium

We shall receive strength from God

That will be abundantly greater

Than the difficulty of our circumstances. ```

94.

```

In the New Millennium

The truth-seekers and God-lovers

Shall proclaim something

Divinely great and supremely good:

The demise of the reasoning mind

And the rise of the oneness-heart. ```

95.

```

To our great joy and satisfaction,

In the 21st Century our ceaseless wrestling

With our mind and vital

Will come to an end.

Soon even our vital and mind will join us

When we embark on anything new

And support our every progress-effort.

```

96.

```

The 20th Century taught us

That killing the senses

Would please our Sweetness-Lord.

Alas, it was a false teaching. ```

97.

```

The 21st Century will teach us

That the acceptance, illumination

And transformation of the senses

Can and will please our Sweetness-Lord. ```

98.

```

Alas, humanity has not responded

To God's beckoning Eye

In the 20th Century.

```

99.

```

My prayer-life and meditation-heart

Tell me that humanity

Will definitely heed

The beckoning heart

Of the New Millennium.

```

100.

```

God became His invisible

Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

In the 20th Century. ```

101.

```

God shall become His visible

Satisfaction-Eye

And Pride-Heart

In the 21st Century. ```

102.

```

In the 20th Century,

To our greatest sorrow

And misfortune,

Even humanity's readiness

Sadly failed to keep

Its eye on God. ```

103.

```

In the 21st Century,

To our greatest joy

And satisfaction,

Mankind's readiness,

Willingness and eagerness,

And all its other divine virtues,

Shall focus only on God.

```

104.

```

The 20th Century has shown its capacity

By proving to the world

That the power of destruction

Is unlimited.

But the 21st Century shall prove

That the power of world-loving,

World-illumining

And world-transforming creation

Is unlimited.

```

105.

```

We are on the brink

Of a New Millennium.

Are we ready to welcome

The New Millennium

With the newness of our mind

And the fulness of our heart?

Alas, no, no, no!

```

106.

```

O humanity, stop ignoring God!

Pay all attention to your inner voice.

Each day of the New Millennium

Can prove to be an excellent opportunity

For you to please God.

```

107.

```

My Lord Supreme,

May the birth of the New Millennium

Herald Your supreme Victory

In and through Your obedient,

Self-giving and satisfaction-loving

Children. ```

108.

```

How I wish each and every human being

Would strive to make

The Absolute Lord Supreme happy

In the 21st Century,

Unlike in the present one!

```

109.

```

We have all along known

That pride is a deadly roadblock

To our inner progress,

Yet we have done nothing

To conquer the volcano-pride

Of our mind.

But the 21st Century,

Right from the beginning,

Shall smash the mind's pride

Into millions of pieces

So the God-seekers and God-lovers

Can run the fastest

Towards the Destination Supreme.

```

110.

```

In the New Millennium

I shall tell my mind

To shut up

Once and for all! ```

111.

```

In the New Millennium

I can clearly see that my heart

Will always stand up for me,

No matter what I say and do. ```

112.

```

As the New Millennium

Enters into our aspiration-heart,

We needs must develop

An insatiable hunger

To please God and fulfil God's Will.

```

113.

```

I am sure my prayers

Will not end in vain.

I shall unmistakably live

Under the direct guidance

Of God's Will

In the 21st Century. ```

114.

```

I shall no longer

Make the same mistake

In the New Millennium.

I promise to God and to myself

That I shall never dare to measure

The immeasurable Compassion and Forgiveness

Of my Lord Supreme

With my limiting thoughts and words. ```

115.

```

Self-doubt and God-doubt

Have hindered humanity's aspiration

For a very, very long time.

In the New Millennium

Self-doubt and God-doubt will be replaced

By self-surrender and God-faith. ```

116.

```

May mankind's faith

Be the direct God-representative

Of the 21st Century.

```

117.

```

Each human being has suffered ruthlessly

From doubt-assaults

In the present century.

But the forthcoming,

Fast-approaching 21st Century

Will be a most powerful faith-citadel. ```

118.

```

I clearly envision

That the doubting mind will be compelled

To take a back seat to the aspiring heart

In the next century. ```

119.

```

In the 21st Century

The God-seekers will no longer undervalue,

But will cherish and treasure

Their heart-diamond. ```

120.

```

In the 20th Century

Power and helplessness

Are in action.

```

121.

```

In the 21st Century

Love and Light

Will be in action.

```

122.

```

The oldness

Of the 20th Century

Is staggering.

```

123.

```

The newness

Of the 21st Century

Will be skyrocketing.

```

124.

```

The oldness

Of the 20th Century

Finds it extremely difficult

To be part of

Readiness, willingness and eagerness.

```

125.

```

The newness

Of the 21st Century

Will have readiness, willingness

And eagerness

As prominent members

Of its peaceful and fruitful family. ```

126.

```

Attachment-bondage-body-chains

Have bound the earthly body

Of the 20th Century.

```

127.

```

Detachment-freedom-soul-delight

Shall inundate the earth-arena

In the 21st Century.

```

128.

```

Enthusiasm-life

Is a perfect stranger

To the present-day world.

```

129.

```

Tomorrow's world

Shall be founded upon

Enthusiasm-breath.

```

130.

```

Today's world

Is desperately fighting

To be at the top of success-glory

And enjoy the supreme victory. ```

131.

```

Tomorrow's world

Shall discover the supreme truth

That what we call the ultimate height

Is only the beginning

Of a new, ever-transcending height

Which embodies

The ever-increasing Beauty and Fragrance

Of God the Seer, God the Lover

And God the Beloved.

```

132.

```

In the 20th Century

Humanity is

What humanity wanted to be:

World-destruction-trumpeter. ```

133.

```

In the 21st Century

Humanity will become

What humanity should be:

World-peace-grower. ```

134.

```

Today's

Vision-empty world

Belongs to

Division-hunger. ```

135.

```

Tomorrow's

Vision-blossomed world

Will belong to

Oneness-feast. ```

136.

```

The 20th Century's

Mighty contribution

Is success-zeal.

```

137.

```

The 21st Century's

Mighty contribution

Will be progress-thrill.

```

138.

```

Yesterday

My Lord Supreme

Smilingly celebrated

My God-embodiment-gratitude-heart. ```

139.

```

Today

My Lord Supreme

Is proudly celebrating

My God-revelation-gratitude-life. ```

140.

```

Tomorrow

My Lord Supreme

Will happily, proudly,

Majestically and unreservedly

Celebrate

My God-manifestation-gratitude-breath. ```

141.

```

My Lord Supreme

Has repeatedly told me

That my gratitude-heart

Is my fastest

Success-progress-vehicle,

And I am bound to prove it true

In the 21st Century.

```

142.

```

May each and every

Human being on earth

Be a happiness-blossom

Of God-fulness-faith

In the New Millennium.

```

143.

```

O truth-seekers and God-lovers,

Do not give up,

Do not give up!

The 21st Century

Will help you find your way Home.

```

144.

```

Yesterday

My hope-life was hopeless.

Today

My hope-life is beautiful.

Tomorrow,

In the New Millennium,

My hope-life will blossom

Into a God-certainty-garden. ```

145.

```

Today God is

His towering Compassion

For man.

Tomorrow the same God will be

His highest Satisfaction

In man. ```

146.

```

What will God do every day

Of the next century?

Every day He will reinforce

Our love for Him

And give us extra Compassion

To develop our power of God-reliance. ```

147.

```

Once we are in the heart

Of the New Millennium,

We must realise that any thought

That is not aspiring

Can waste precious time

On our God-discovery-journey. ```

148.

```

I am putting an end

To my self-criticism-life.

The New Millennium is beckoning me

To become a member

Of the God-reliance-committee.

```

149.

```

Each century has

Something special to offer.

The special offering

Of the 20th Century

Is that despair shall not mark

Its journey's close. ```

150.

```

The 20th Century

Has blessed me with

A Heaven-climbing heart.

```

151.

```

The 21st Century

Shall bless me with

A Heaven-sacrificing life.

```

152.

```

In the present century

Each seeker is

A God-joy-song to humanity.

```

153.

```

In the forthcoming century

Each seeker shall be

A God-manifestation-perfection-satisfaction

For humanity. ```

154.

```

In the 20th Century

Self-indulgence

Is what we are.

```

155.

```

In the 21st Century

God-effulgence

Is what we shall become.

```

156.

```

Today's promise-world

Is an unthinkably hurtful

Hollowness-night.

```

157.

```

Tomorrow's promise-world

Will be an unimaginably beautiful

Fulness-delight.

```

158.

```

Today's ignorance-drunk mind

Says:

"God's Presence is redundant!"

```

159.

```

Tomorrow's wisdom-flooded heart

Shall say:

"God's Presence is sleeplessly

And breathlessly indispensable." ```

160.

```

The 20th Century's success

Mostly depends on

Money-power-exploitation.

```

161.

```

The 21st Century's progress

Shall solely depend on

Heart-power-expansion.

```

162.

```

Ambition-competition-winner-banner-flyer

Marks the 20th Century. ```

163.

```

Newness-soulfulness-oneness-fulness-lover

Shall mark the 21st Century. ```

164.

```

"I do what I want!"

This is indeed

The motto of the 20th Century.

```

165.

```

"God wants me to become perfect.

Therefore, I shall!"

This will indeed be

The motto of the 21st Century. ```

166.

```

"Find and become

The all-devouring greed."

This is precisely what I have learned

From the 20th Century. ```

167.

```

"Become and feed

The all-transcending need."

This is what I shall blessingfully learn

From the 21st Century. ```

168.

```

In the 20th Century

Spirituality has become

Earth's heartbreaking sigh.

```

169.

```

In the 21st Century

Spirituality will become

Earth's Heaven-climbing smile.

```

170.

```

In the 20th Century

My face

Reveals my name.

```

171.

```

In the 21st Century

God's Grace

Shall reveal my name.

```

172.

```

O seeker,

Do not lose heart!

The 21st Century will bring back

Your two long-lost Friends:

God and God's Compassion-Eye.

```

173.

```

In the New Millennium

I shall miss my Beloved Supreme most.

Therefore, I shall find Him nearest.

```

174.

```

The New Millennium has commenced

Its momentous journey today.

From today on, I shall not offer

My volcano-ambition to the world.

I shall offer the world

Only my moonlit heart's

Flaming aspiration.

```

175.

```

The chant of the New Millennium:

"The world's heart-home

Is the Beauty and Fragrance

Of the Absolute Lord Supreme." ```

176.

```

The God-love and God-devotion-boats

Are sailing slowly and steadily

Towards the Destination.

The God-surrender-boat

Is still fast asleep.

But in the New Millennium

These three boats

Will sail unimaginably fast

Towards the Golden Shore

For the transformation of human life,

The perfection of the human heart

And the manifestation of

God's Light and Delight

In every corner of the globe. ```

177.

```

Indefatigable God-lovers and God-servers

Shall walk the soil

Of the 21st Century

Lovingly, soulfully and self-givingly. ```

178.

```

In the 20th Century

We have left God

To be with ourselves.

```

179.

```

In the 21st Century

We shall leave ourselves for God

And we shall live

Only for God, only for God. ```

Part II — New Millennium songs

Twenty-First Century, the New Millennium!¹

```

Twenty-first Century, the New Millennium!

No more the old sorrows and joys-compendium.

God's Heart, God's Eye, a new hope and a new promise!

O run and dive and fly — Bliss, Infinity's Bliss!

The world shall cheer the road with a God-surrender-song.

Creator's Silence-Hearts, creation's sound-lives throng.

```
