Silence speaks, part 8

1.

```

You say your mistakes

Are all unintentional.

Should God then grant you

Pardon unconditional? ```

2.

```

You alone have made

The desire-choice.

Now you alone have to

Silence its noise. ```

3.

```

Delight you will feel

Only in self-mastery.

Oneness-song you will sing

Only with God-discovery. ```

4.

```

About yourself care

Only for God's Opinion:

You are His loving

And faithful companion. ```

5.

```

Do not doubt yourself,

Do not, I say!

Go and join once more

God's Oneness-Play. ```

6.

```

Your climbing heart-cry,

O never neglect,

If your life-smile

You long to perfect. ```

7.

```

Impossible today,

Inevitable tomorrow.

This is how man's

God-dream-seeds grow. ```

8.

```

When your mind becomes one

With your heart's obedience-light,

Yours will be the fastest

Heavenward journey's flight. ```

9.

```

Self-doubt is poison-night.

Self-doubt is destruction-gun.

Therefore, do not take part in

Your mind's long self-doubt-run. ```

10.

```

Confess your blunders

Cheerfully.

God will reach out

Powerfully. ```

11.

```

God does not want to,

But He does withdraw

When your sad earth-life

Becomes a giant flaw. ```

12.

```

Inspiration-bird flies

With beauty's wings.

Aspiration-flames mount,

Progress-bell rings. ```

13.

```

What the future holds

I do not know,

But my heart foresees

God-oneness-glow. ```

14.

```

Opportunity-flowers

Are blossoming at every moment.

Pick them at once!

Delay not your heart's enlightenment. ```

15.

```

You are carrying your life's

Heavy lethargy-load.

Yet you want to walk

On God's Perfection-Road. ```

16.

```

If your mind dreams always

Of human desire,

How can your life expect

Liberation-fire? ```

17.

```

If you are a lover

Of innocence-light,

How can you travel

In ignorance-night? ```

18.

```

Live by your inmost

Soul-sincerity

To become your Lord's

Sun-Reality. ```

19.

```

He enjoys his life's

Self-giving marathon.

Therefore, God gives him

His Satisfaction-Dawn. ```

20.

```

When his life becomes

All luminosity,

The seeker becomes

God's Heart-profundity. ```

21.

```

Your inner faith, the Blessing-Grace

Of the Lord Supreme

To help you quickly grow into

His Self-Transcendence-Dream. ```

22.

```

Your wasted years are running out

Of aspiration-time.

Are you content to never see

God's Satisfaction-Clime? ```

23.

```

If you read every day

Your mind's guilt-record,

How will you ever think

Of pleasing your Lord? ```

24.

```

Patience and tolerance —

Two lessons in life

Which save human souls

From destruction-knife. ```

25.

```

A prayer-life

Is a Heavenly passage.

A silence-heart

Is God's Oneness-Message. ```

26.

```

O sail your God-hunger-boat,

Every day sail,

Until God's own Hand lifts your

Ignorance-veil. ```

27.

```

Alas, you are your clever mind's

Mere aspiration-act.

Therefore, you will ever miss

God's Sweetness-Smile-Contact. ```

28.

```

Your silence-heart

Will grant you peace of mind.

Your oneness-soul

Will conquer turmoil blind. ```

29.

```

When my mind sees the world,

It sees only God's Face.

When my heart feels the world,

It feels His quick Embrace. ```

30.

```

A prayer-heart

Is a divine opportunity.

A meditation-life

Is God's Silence-Continuity. ```

31.

```

What humility is

If you truly know,

Then your life and deeds

Are bound to glow. ```

32.

```

God smilingly loves

Even sad failures.

His powerful Smile

With them endures. ```

33.

```

I know, I know,

I am alive today

Because my heart

Enjoys devotion-play. ```

34.

```

O my mind's wild

Desire-fire,

Today at last

You must expire. ```

35.

```

Your Lord Supreme

Created your soul

To be a partner of His Dream.

Your heart must please Him

In His own Way

To satisfy His soulful Scheme. ```

36.

```

My Lord Supreme

Is His Compassion-Tower.

My life shall be

His choice Heart-Garden flower. ```

37.

```

Be a beautiful, soulful

Surrender-infant.

God will grant your prayers

His Answers instant. ```

38.

```

God has forgiven

Your shameless meanness.

Can you not give Him

Your whole life's oneness? ```

39.

```

God's Heart of Oneness-Love

You have refused.

Therefore, you and your life

Are all confused. ```

40.

```

The human life is short.

The human mind is insecure.

The divine life is eternal.

The divine mind is pure and sure. ```

41.

```

Think not of your days of success

Nor of your failure-nights.

Just meditate and meditate

On your progress-delights. ```

42.

```

Each and every sweet dream-smile

Increases fast our true God-love

And makes us better God-servers

Within, without, below, above. ```

43.

```

Do not give up, do not give up!

Fight until the last.

You and your soul will triumph

Even in the dust! ```

44.

```

The mind attacks others

And then tries to defend itself.

The heart surrenders to God

And becomes the Universal Self. ```

45.

```

With God you found

A precious oneness-moment.

The world will build

Your perfection-monument. ```

46.

```

If you want to serve

The life of humanity,

First feel the heart

Of Compassion-Divinity. ```

47.

```

If you do not climb up

The aspiration-tree,

How can you enjoy

Your heart-life's ecstasy? ```

48.

```

You want to know where

Is my Beloved Supreme?

He is living inside

My heart's innocence-dream. ```

49.

```

With your mind's dauntless strength

The outer world face.

With your heart's oneness-love

The inner world embrace. ```

50.

```

My Lord's Compassion-Eye

Patrols my life's heart-door.

Therefore, I never hear

The world's ignorance-roar. ```

51.

```

If you keep your dreams pure

Both by night and by day,

You will soon be invited

With Divinity to play. ```

52.

```

To please your soul,

Day and night pray.

To please your Lord,

Avoid ignorance-clay. ```

53.

```

To feel His Grace

In you, you must

In God keep always

A determined trust. ```

54.

```

I tell you, my friend,

You are inwardly blind.

Therefore, God's Love-Light

You never will find. ```

55.

```

Alas, you have neglected

The Lord for man.

Your ignorance has ruined

His Vision-Plan. ```

56.

```

If you follow your mind's

Dark and unclean thought-road,

You will have to carry

Futility's great load. ```

57.

```

God knows your capacity's

Ultimate length.

You must learn for yourself

Your present strength. ```

58.

```

The right time to enjoy

Aspiration-fast: never!

The right time to enjoy

Surrender-feast: ever! ```

59.

```

O my pure and powerful

Morning meditation,

You are my entire day's

Perfect salvation. ```

60.

```

Your true longing for

Purity's newness

Is the first step toward

Your Lord's Forgiveness. ```

61.

```

Every night God empties

Your darkness-mind.

To His Compassion-Light

Be not so blind! ```

62.

```

Confidence has to be

Strong and sure.

Surrender has to be

Sweet and pure. ```

63.

```

The mind's long road

Leads to God's Justice-Light.

The heart's short road

Leads to God's Oneness-Height. ```

64.

```

Before you and God

Meet face to face,

Your dark ego-life

You must erase. ```

65.

```

A man of compromise

Is a real fool!

Impossible for him

To attend God-School. ```

66.

```

What you wanted:

An expectation-road.

What you now have:

A frustration-load. ```

67.

```

All out of proportion

Is your dark ego-life.

Soon you will be stabbed

By self-destruction-knife. ```

68.

```

The strength of harmony

Is admirable.

The power of peace

Is unfathomable. ```

69.

```

You will someday escape from

Your taut bondage-chain

If you soulfully welcome

Enthusiasm-reign. ```

70.

```

From world-competition

If you bravely refrain,

You can ride constantly

The self-transcendence-train. ```

71.

```

Now that you have put God

In full command of your life,

You cannot be threatened

By the world's destruction-knife. ```

72.

```

Who can fulfil God's

Compassion-Messages

If he has not studied

God's Love-Book-pages? ```

73.

```

Do not follow

The desire-man.

He belongs to

The peril-clan. ```

74.

```

God the Compassion

Is always adorable.

God the Forgiveness

Is always approachable. ```

75.

```

Only one thing, O seeker,

Worth proving:

That you are constantly

Improving! ```
