My song-river-heart, part 2

What I Need Is a God-Breathing Heart

```

What I need is a God-breathing heart

And not a man-pleasing mind.

```

My Life Is a Daily Commitment

```

My life is a daily commitment

Only to God-obedience-light.

```

Never Be a Stranger

```

Never, never be a stranger

To your gratitude-heart-joy.

```

I Pray with My Sunshine-Heart

```

I pray, I pray,

I pray with my sunshine-heart.

```

I Meditate with My Rainbow-Soul

```

I meditate, I meditate,

I meditate with my rainbow-soul.

```

Failure Can and Will

```

Failure can and will

Accompany my doubting mind,

But not my loving heart. ```

My Soul Leads My Heart

```

My soul leads my heart by commanding.

My heart leads my mind by pleading.

```

My Earthly Life Is in Between

```

My earthly life is in between

My public smiles and my private tears.

```

What I Need Is a Permanent Peace

```

What I need is a permanent

Peace-permit

From my Lord Supreme. ```

You May Not Be Perfect

```

You may not be perfect,

But as long as you remain

Perfection-bound,

You are pleasing God.

```

Escape, Escape

```

Escape, escape

From the mind’s

Concentration camp. ```

God-Manifestation-Teamwork

```

God-manifestation-teamwork

Is infinitely better and happier

Than any other teamwork. ```

Compassion, Perfection and Satisfaction

```

Compassion, perfection and satisfaction:

These are the three real strangers in this world.

```

Every Morning My Lord Amplifies

```

Every morning my Lord

Amplifies my silence-heart

And simplifies my sound-life. ```

Never Make Foolish Mockery

```

Never, never,

Never make foolish mockery

Of God’s Compassion-Sun. ```

Ingratitude-Monarch

```

Ingratitude-monarch,

I am no more

A helpless slave of yours. ```

O My Smiling Soul

```

O my smiling soul,

O my crying heart,

Be not a tall pyramid of expectation. ```

No More Shall I See the Fall

```

No more shall I see the fall,

But only the rise

Of my heart’s faith-stock. ```

The Galaxy of Delight

```

Surrender, surrender, surrender.

You will be in the galaxy of delight.

```

No Gratitude-Replacement

There is no,

There can be no

Gratitude-replacement. ```

O My Mind, Lead Me Not into the Chasm

O my mind, lead me not

Into the chasm of suspicion-night.

```

O God's Compassion-Eye

O God's Compassion-Eye,

Do give me a powerful push

To enter into the life divine.

```

My Ten Thousand Prayerful Tears

```

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

Your one blessingful Smile

Is worth my ten thousand prayerful tears. ```

Who Can Tell Me?

```

Who can tell me how heavy

The weight of my impurity is?

```

My Heart, Be Not Lost

```

My heart, be not lost

In earth’s ingratitude-forest.

```

Expedite

```

Expedite, expedite!

I shall expedite the demise

Of my frustration. ```

Talent, If I Have Any

```

Talent, if I have any,

I gave it to myself.

Virtue, if I have any,

God gave it to me.

```

My Morning Panic

```

Where do I live?

I live in between

My morning panic

And my evening despair.

```

Breathe, Breathe

```

Breathe, breathe,

Breathe every day

A new life into

Your aspiration-cry.

```

Alas, Alas, Alas

```

Alas, alas, alas,

Every day my life becomes

A familiar face of frustration. ```

My Wisdom-Soul

```

My wisdom-soul is dumbfounded

At my mind’s unending stupidity.

```

A Sincerity-Mind

```

A sincerity-mind

Has direct access to God.

A purity-heart

Has an immediate access to God.

```

Not Needed by 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 Life

```

My mistake-free life

Is fast approaching.

```

At Long Last

```

At long last I have climbed

Out of my mind’s abysmal abyss. ```

Short on Heart-Meditation

```

Short on heart-meditation,

Long on mind-confusion.

```

As God Knows How to Hide

```

As God knows how to hide,

Even so, a God-lover knows how to find.

```

No More My Ego-Indulgence

```

No more my ego-indulgence, no more. ```

O My High Voltage Eagerness-Heart

```

O my high voltage eagerness-heart,

Where are you?

```

Smiling Soulfully and Soaring Speedily

```

Smiling soulfully

And soaring speedily

Go together. ```

Keep Your Mind-Door Open

```

Keep your mind-door open:

You need God.

Keep your heart-room open:

God needs you.

```

When Time Creates Me

```

When time creates me, I am the loser.

When I create time, I am the winner.

```

Two Impossible Liars

```

Two impossible liars:

My doubtful mind and my fearful heart.

```

The Tourist in Me

```

The tourist in me

Remains the old division-life.

The traveller in me

Becomes the new oneness-heart.

```

Offer Your Oneness-Breath

```

Offer your oneness-breath

And build a fulness-nest.

```

Heart-Flower-Fragrance

```

No heart-flower-fragrance

Can remain unwanted.

```

A Self-Assertion-Mind

```

A self-assertion-mind

I was.

A self-correction-life

I am.

```

O My Dream-Seeds

```

O my dream-seeds, you are everywhere.

O my reality-tree, you are nowhere.

```

Earth-Bound Cry I Was

Earth-bound cry

I was.

Heaven-free smile

I am.

```

Every Day I Drink

```

Every day I drink and drink

Nectar-hope.

```

A Stainless Mind

```

A stainless mind I need.

A selfless heart I need.

A chainless life I need. ```

My Lord, I Need Your Thunder-Will

```

My Lord, I need Your Thunder-Will

And not a blunder-thought.

```

My Lord, Let Me Not Sleep

```

My Lord, let me not sleep

Ignorance-sleep again.

```

A Purity-Heart Stays Forever Young

A purity-heart

Stays forever young.

```

May My Heart Be an Aspiration-Mountain

```

May my heart be an aspiration-mountain.

May my life be a dedication-fountain.

```

With the Smiles of My Soul

```

With the smiles of my soul

And the tears of my heart

I am arriving at the reality-shore. ```

My Aspiration-Heart

```

My aspiration-heart

And God’s Satisfaction-Smile

Are two inner world travellers. ```

Will You Ever Tell Me Why?

```

My Lord Supreme,

Will You ever tell me

Why You sleeplessly love me? ```

Earth-Possession-Supremacy

```

My mind desires

Earth-possession-supremacy.

My heart requires

Heaven-oneness-ecstasy.

```

Process I Shall Change If I Have To

```

Process I shall change if I have to,

But never my Goal Supreme.

```
