```
What I need is a God-breathing heartAnd not a man-pleasing mind.
``````
My life is a daily commitmentOnly to God-obedience-light.
``````
Never, never be a strangerTo your gratitude-heart-joy.
``````
I pray, I pray,I pray with my sunshine-heart.
``````
I meditate, I meditate,I meditate with my rainbow-soul.
``````
Failure can and willAccompany my doubting mind,
But not my loving heart. ``````
My soul leads my heart by commanding.My heart leads my mind by pleading.
``````
My earthly life is in betweenMy public smiles and my private tears.
``````
What I need is a permanentPeace-permit
From my Lord Supreme. ``````
You may not be perfect,But as long as you remain
Perfection-bound,You are pleasing God.
``````
Escape, escapeFrom the mind’s
Concentration camp. ``````
God-manifestation-teamworkIs infinitely better and happier
Than any other teamwork. ``````
Compassion, perfection and satisfaction:These are the three real strangers in this world.
``````
Every morning my LordAmplifies my silence-heart
And simplifies my sound-life. ``````
Never, never,Never make foolish mockery
Of God’s Compassion-Sun. ``````
Ingratitude-monarch,I am no more
A helpless slave of yours. ``````
O my smiling soul,O my crying heart,
Be not a tall pyramid of expectation. ``````
No more shall I see the fall,But only the rise
Of my heart’s faith-stock. ``````
Surrender, surrender, surrender.You will be in the galaxy of delight.
``````
There is no,There can be no
Gratitude-replacement. ``````
O my mind, lead me notInto the chasm of suspicion-night.
```O God's Compassion-Eye,
Do give me a powerful pushTo enter into the life divine.
``````
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,Your one blessingful Smile
Is worth my ten thousand prayerful tears. ``````
Who can tell me how heavyThe weight of my impurity is?
``````
My heart, be not lostIn earth’s ingratitude-forest.
``````
Expedite, expedite!I shall expedite the demise
Of my frustration. ``````
Talent, if I have any,I gave it to myself.
Virtue, if I have any,God gave it to me.
``````
Where do I live?I live in between
My morning panicAnd my evening despair.
``````
Breathe, breathe,Breathe every day
A new life intoYour aspiration-cry.
``````
Alas, alas, alas,Every day my life becomes
A familiar face of frustration. ``````
My wisdom-soul is dumbfoundedAt my mind’s unending stupidity.
``````
A sincerity-mindHas direct access to God.
A purity-heartHas an immediate access to God.
``````
Not needed by God: my insincerity-mind.Not needed by God: my impurity-heart.
Not needed by God: my ingratitude-breath. ``````
My mistake-free lifeIs fast approaching.
```At long last I have climbed
Out of my mind’s abysmal abyss. ``````
Short on heart-meditation,Long on mind-confusion.
``````
As God knows how to hide,Even so, a God-lover knows how to find.
``````
No more my ego-indulgence, no more. ``````
O my high voltage eagerness-heart,Where are you?
``````
Smiling soulfullyAnd soaring speedily
Go together. ``````
Keep your mind-door open:You need God.
Keep your heart-room open:God needs you.
``````
When time creates me, I am the loser.When I create time, I am the winner.
``````
Two impossible liars:My doubtful mind and my fearful heart.
``````
The tourist in meRemains the old division-life.
The traveller in meBecomes the new oneness-heart.
``````
Offer your oneness-breathAnd build a fulness-nest.
``````
No heart-flower-fragranceCan remain unwanted.
``````
A self-assertion-mindI was.
A self-correction-lifeI am.
``````
O my dream-seeds, you are everywhere.O my reality-tree, you are nowhere.
``````
Earth-bound cryI was.
Heaven-free smileI am.
``````
Every day I drink and drinkNectar-hope.
``````
A stainless mind I need.A selfless heart I need.
A chainless life I need. ``````
My Lord, I need Your Thunder-WillAnd not a blunder-thought.
``````
My Lord, let me not sleepIgnorance-sleep again.
``````
A purity-heartStays forever young.
``````
May my heart be an aspiration-mountain.May my life be a dedication-fountain.
``````
With the smiles of my soulAnd the tears of my heart
I am arriving at the reality-shore. ``````
My aspiration-heartAnd God’s Satisfaction-Smile
Are two inner world travellers. ``````
My Lord Supreme,Will You ever tell me
Why You sleeplessly love me? ``````
My mind desiresEarth-possession-supremacy.
My heart requiresHeaven-oneness-ecstasy.
``````
Process I shall change if I have to,But never my Goal Supreme.
