The Oneness-Heart-University

1.

```

The beauty of the start

Gives me much more joy

Than the bounty of the end.

```

2.

```

Nobody can reach

The perfection-pinnacle

Without studying at the

Oneness-heart-university. ```

3.

```

The mind-professors

Are not qualified

To teach

The heart-students. ```

4.

```

God’s proud heart

Broadcasts my humble

Aspiration-dedication-progress.

```

5.

```

A man of peace

Is destined to play

A most significant role

In the

World-transformation-drama.

```

6.

```

A seeker must realise

That each

Earth-bound desire of his

Is a giant destructive animal. ```

7.

```

There is no real choice

Between a self-giving heart

And a God-becoming life.

```

8.

```

No more depressing news.

There is plenty of hope

For each and every

Human being on earth. ```

9.

```

False alarm!

God and God’s

Justice-Anger-Eye

Are not coming. ```

10.

```

The outer man

Cries to increase

His earthly power.

The inner man

Cries to increase

The world’s happiness.

```

11.

```

Yesterday

My mind greedily desired

Only power.

Today

My mind is wisely desiring

Only love.

Tomorrow

My mind will be

Self-givingly desiring

Only God-satisfaction. ```

12.

```

Everybody needs a friend.

Therefore, I have decided

To have

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

As my friend,

Only friend. ```

13.

```

My illumination-soul

Is teaching

My aspiration-heart

How to live

In the Eternal Now.

```

14.

```

Jealousy is destined

To die eventually

Under the heavy weight

Of insecurity. ```

15.

```

Self-challenge:

The first glorious attempt

At perfection-excellence-

Achievement. ```

16.

```

O my mind,

Aspire, aspire!

Otherwise,

You will never be able

To come out of

The darkness-forest-thought. ```

17.

```

From each and every

Wrong deed

We are forced to wake up

One day

And complete our

One-way trip

To the God-realisation-land.

```

18.

```

Alas!

Will the negativity-mind

Of the world

Ever be transformed into

A God-receptivity-heart?

```

19.

```

How do you expect God

To bless and appreciate

Our lip-deep prayers

For world peace? ```

20.

```

At long last

I was able to say good-bye

To my

Confusion-professor-mind. ```

21.

```

Alas!

I kept my mind’s desire-door

Wide open.

And what do I see?

My heart’s aspiration-bird

Has flown away. ```

22.

```

A God-unwillingness-mind

Is not only ruthless

But also useless.

```

23.

```

Each day I love

More and more dearly

And

More and more powerfully

The God-created

God-Hunger in me. ```

24.

```

May

The morning of everything

Be beautiful,

Divinely beautiful

And supremely beautiful.

May

The evening of everything

Be peaceful,

Divinely peaceful

And supremely peaceful.

```

25.

```

What I need

Is a progressive heart

And not a possessive mind.

```

26.

```

Anger blasts.

Poise outlasts. ```

27.

```

Acceptance can freely

Go everywhere;

Rejection, nowhere.

```

28.

```

Two creators:

God and I.

God created

A togetherness-heart,

And I am creating

A separateness-mind. ```

29.

```

The mind knows how

To ask,

The heart knows how

To urge,

And the soul knows how

To whisper. ```

30.

```

The ordinary man

Is a self-binder.

The extraordinary man

Is a self-revealer. ```

31.

```

Darkness

Is a self-admirer.

Light

Is a God-adorer. ```

32.

```

God arrives

Because of

My purity-heart.

God departs

Because of

My haughty mind.

```

33.

```

God needs

My heart’s eagerness

And not

My mind’s cleverness. ```

34.

```

The mind’s hostility

Ultimately surrenders

To the heart’s humility.

```

35.

```

My mind is a

Thunder-drummer-boy.

My heart is an

Aspiration-perfection-flutist. ```

36.

```

A dry mind finds

No house anywhere.

A soft heart finds

Home everywhere. ```

37.

```

“Am I constantly

Self-giving?”

Is the question

That torments my heart. ```

38.

```

My heart’s silence-smiles

Are every day blessed

By God’s Ecstasies.

```

39.

```

A soulful meditation

Is

A powerful heart-castle.

```

40.

```

A doubting mind

Is doomed to have

A wasted life.

```

41.

```

The birth of

Aspiration-hunger

Liberates

The desire-possession. ```

42.

```

The Compassion-God

Never allows anybody

To work overtime for Him.

```

43.

```

God tells me that

He never wants me

To vegetate.

He wants me only

To navigate.

```

44.

```

God and I are sailing

In the same boat.

We have too many critics.

```

45.

```

My Lord Supreme,

Were You looking for me?

“My child,

Were you thinking of Me?” ```

46.

```

Each willingness-thought

Is a branch of

God-Fulfilment-Tree.
