Silence speaks, part 5

1.

```

Each day your snow-white heart-life

Can claim a blue soul-dream.

Each day your sweet Lord is building

In you another Supreme. ```

2.

```

To wear the bright crown

Of Immortality,

You must challenge the strength

Of fatality. ```

3.

```

O, trust and trust

Your heart of love.

It is your own soul's

Precious dove. ```

4.

```

In your life is

Nowhere oneness.

Only your ego's

Deathless darkness! ```

5.

```

With all my might

I shall plunder

My blighting mind's

Destruction-thunder. ```

6.

```

Yesterday you were awaiting

God's Compassion-Arrival.

Today you are enjoying

God's Peace-Bliss-Festival. ```

7.

```

Pray not: you live

In the sombre lap of death.

Do pray: you grow

Into Immortality's Breath. ```

8.

```

Your purity-heart gives thanks to God,

Your purity-heart gives thanks,

Because you are a stranger to

Your mind's impurity-pranks. ```

9.

```

Your heart has to make

Only one commitment:

To spread the divinity

Of your soul's enlightenment. ```

10.

```

If you heed not your soul's

Determination-call,

You will soon suffer

A bad failure-fall. ```

11.

```

Inside your Lord's

Protection-Ring

His Victory-Song

Sing and sing. ```

12.

```

Live inside your heart's

Gratitude-tower.

You will be the hero

Of God's God-Hour. ```

13.

```

Your mind is unready;

Your body is asleep.

God's Nectar-Delight

How can you drink deep? ```

14.

```

Love more and more

Your heart's morning hopes

If you want to untie

Your life's binding ropes. ```

15.

```

Your first

Aspiration-preparation:

To doubt

Give simply no reception. ```

16.

```

The time has not yet come

To see God's Face.

But the time has come and gone

To clasp God's Grace. ```

17.

```

In the Heart of God

Daily my life is growing.

To the Light of God

Daily my mind is surrendering. ```

18.

```

Squander not

Good mornings

If you want

God-Blessings. ```

19.

```

You are at home

In the sea of self-pity.

Therefore you are

Your life's futility. ```

20.

```

My heart once more

Has touched God's Feet today.

My life once more

Is learning gratitude-play. ```

21.

```

Between abyss and summit

My life travels cheerfully.

I think and hope and dream

Of perfection eternally. ```

22.

```

Since you are building

Your own monument,

You cannot expect God

And His Enlightenment. ```

23.

```

Every day my good friend

Purity I hire

To extinguish regularly

My desire-fire. ```

24.

```

Live not alone.

Live in the world's

Oneness-zone. ```

25.

```

I shall calmly welcome

Even serious pain

If I need it to ride

On the progress-train. ```

26.

```

In our mind-jungle

Doubt-plants grow.

In our heart-garden

Beauty-smiles flow. ```

27.

```

I must daily send my heart

To shop for oneness-light.

I must daily send my mind

To shop for newness-height. ```

28.

```

Tell me,

Why do you worry needlessly?

Tell me,

Why do you not cry sleeplessly? ```

29.

```

In his inner life

He is a oneness-lover.

In his outer life

He is a doubt-conqueror. ```

30.

```

Ask your soul to teach your heart

To become a sincerity-flow.

Ask your soul to teach your mind

To become a purity-glow. ```

31.

```

Arrest your mind

With its doubt-blindness.

Teach it to love

Your soul's bright fulness. ```

32.

```

You are your heart's

Oneness-prayer,

And not your mind's

Eyeless player. ```

33.

```

O sing, my heart

Of silence, sing,

And claim today

Your oneness-ring. ```

34.

```

Surrender not

To cries and sighs.

You are your soul's

Gold promise-skies. ```

35.

```

If your mind takes

A purity-bath,

You will escape

The dark doubt-path. ```

36.

```

Who is your leader,

Who is your chief?

No, not your sombre

Vital-thief. ```

37.

```

My seeker-friend,

There is nothing to fear.

Your dark mind-jungle

Your Lord will clear. ```

38.

```

A doubting mind surrenders

To devouring night.

A seeking heart drinks deep

God's God-Delight. ```

39.

```

His aspiration-heart

Is no longer alive.

His dark suspicion-mind

Will forever thrive. ```

40.

```

You may not be

A peace-creator,

But you can be

A peace-promoter. ```

41.

```

I begin again

With each ending line,

To make my life

God's Choice divine. ```

42.

```

To do something great,

Your mind must cry.

To be something good,

Your heart must try. ```

43.

```

No difference between your mind

And destruction-blow.

No difference between your heart

And God-oneness-glow. ```

44.

```

O seeker-friend of mine,

To know your soul's blue nest,

You must dauntlessly climb

The inner Everest. ```

45.

```

Because you are not one with

Your Pilot's Oneness-Plan,

Within, without you still remain

Eternity's unlit man. ```

46.

```

To doubt is to drink

From poison-cup.

No more doubt-sleep.

Wake up, wake up! ```

47.

```

Run, run, daily run

On aspiration-road!

Your new life will discard

Your old life's ignorance-load. ```

48.

```

Since your surrender-list

Is very long,

Your Lord will teach you

His Smile-Song. ```

49.

```

I live, I live,

In my ignorance-tree.

God lives, God lives,

In His Forgiveness-Sea. ```

50.

```

My hopes shall not fail,

My dreams shall not fade,

Because the right choice

My heart and I have made. ```

51.

```

God will grant you

His brightest Satisfaction-Look

If every day you study

His Earth-Transformation-Book. ```

52.

```

You and you alone

Can determine your earthly life

By challenging every day

The world's destruction-knife. ```

53.

```

God will descend

Every day from Above

If you will accept

His Gift: Oneness-Love. ```

54.

```

To receive the best

From the coming day,

Become God's partner

In self-giving play. ```

55.

```

Remember, you are not

Your mind's ego-mountain.

What you are is your heart's

Constant oneness-fountain. ```

56.

```

Have patience, have joy

And have determination.

You will be visited

By God the Liberation. ```

57.

```

If you want to see

God's Cosmic Ray,

Then sing a song of gratitude

Every new day. ```

58.

```

Our deepest longings

Will be answered someday.

Let us soulfully join

Our Lord's Cosmic Play. ```

59.

```

My seeker-friend,

Keep the Goal always in sight.

Do not be afraid

Of ignorance-darkness-fight. ```

60.

```

Nothing can be achieved

Without God's Grace.

This I have learned

From my life's inner race. ```

61.

```

If your life can become

One long stillness-prayer,

God will teach you to be

An ignorance-slayer. ```

62.

```

Every long step I take

Brings my Lord nearer.

Every God-thought I think

Makes my mind clearer. ```

63.

```

Start each day

With determination-fire.

Your high sun-goal

The world will admire. ```

64.

```

If you purely love

Below, Above,

God will make you

His fondness-dove. ```

65.

```

Even an infant-step

Of progress-light

Can bring you eventually

To God's ultimate Height. ```

66.

```

Earth's final song

Is surrender-light.

Heaven's first song

Is Compassion-Delight. ```

67.

```

Oneness is the name

Of the seeker-soul.

God's Love-Fulfilment

Is its supreme goal. ```

68.

```

If you can find

No time to pray,

How can God save you

From ignorance-clay? ```

69.

```

Do not roam

In the futile fields of yesterday.

God has come

To teach you His Perfection-Play. ```

70.

```

Within and without

You pretend not to see

Your own creation:

The ignorance-tree. ```

71.

```

When your heart learns

Aspiration-skill,

Your life will enjoy

Perfection-thrill. ```

72.

```

God's Compassion is searching for me.

What am I doing?

God's Forgiveness is looking for me.

Why am I hiding? ```

73.

```

My soul is my God's dream-seed,

My life His reality-tree.

Therefore, within and without

I am a blue bird ever free! ```

74.

```

O seeker, be not

A promise-breaker.

You are your world's

Destiny-maker. ```

75.

```

Never attend

Ego-exhibits, never!

Enjoy only

Oneness-delight forever! ```
