```Are you a thief
That you have to run awayFrom negativity?
No, stand before negativity.Challenge and conquer it
Once and for all. ```My Lord,
You gave me countless chances,Yet I am not strong enough
To surrender myselfTo You.
```As long as you are afraid
To surrender,Your goal will never be within
Your easy reach. ```All my desires are useless!
I know it, I know it.Yet uselessness has its own attraction
And power. ```May my aspiration-flames
Climb upRight from the ground
To the sky. ```My Lord,
Your PatienceUnmistakably astonishes me.
“My child,
Your impatienceEqually astonishes Me.”
```Come here, my mind, come here!

On your self-surrender. ```I had a glimpse
Of my Beloved Supreme.I now claim to be His,
Only His. ```Self-giving is the power
That can easily conquerThe mind’s insecurity.
```Self-giving is the light
That can easily illumineThe heart’s insecurity.
```Not a sudden move towards God,
But a slow and gradual moveTowards God
Is needed to realise God. ```Alas, my mind’s God-indifference
Is so embarrassingTo me!
```The stupid heart thinks
That God may withdraw His ConcernFrom the heart
Whenever it makes a mistake. ```God’s Compassion-flooded Smile
Draws humanity’s heart every day,Every hour, every minute
And every second. ```Who needs God most:
The undivine in meOr
The divine in me?Definitely, the divine in me.
```What does God need most from me?

Only inside my heart-gardenAnd nowhere else.
```My vital, you are talking too much.
Can you not see that GodHas covered His Ears?
```God does not blame
My arrogance-vital.He just feels sad

There are countless questions.Only one answer satisfies
All the questions:Love God unconditionally.

To God,God removes the lower present
From man. ```God is always favouring

If you want to remember,Then remember only one thing:
God’s unconditional Forgiveness. ```My heart,
If you want to remember,Then remember only one thing:
That God’s Love needs youFor God to be manifested
Here on earth. ```It is always most painful
When we say good-byeTo Mother Earth
OrTo Father Heaven.

Every secondWe must dare and dare
To climb up the pinnacle-heightsWith our aspiration-heart.
```You can never be spiritually rich
If you are dissatisfied and displeasedWith anything here on earth.
```All the things that we have in the world

Of your over-confidence. ```You cannot guide others,
You cannot steer others’ life-boats,Until you are successful
With your own life-boat. ```Do not fool yourself!
You do not have the capacityTo steer your life-boat.
It is only God who can —And He will!
```My Lord has given me
His Heart.How can I give Him
My mindAnd not my heart?
```O my mind,
Follow your leader-heart.Why?
Precisely because your leader-heartFollows God the infinite Beauty,
Infinite LightAnd

At His Peace-TableOnly when I vehemently refuse
To talk to ignorance-night. ```Negativity has no place
Either in God’s HeartOr even in God’s Mind.
```Ultimately
There is only one thing,And that is God-obedience.

Who does not need God’s ForgivenessIn abundance
Every day? ```O seeker,
Can you not seeThat you are bending your knees
Before ignorance-night? ```If doubt can baffle our faith
In God,Then I do not consider it

To take down dictation.He only allows my realisation
To take His dictation. ```Poise

Empty-handed. ```God is not a strict disciplinarian.
No, never!His Philosophy is very simple:
If you want to be truly happy,Then there is only one way —
Make God happy first. ```The mind loves to succeed
At any cost.The heart loves to proceed
To please God in His own Way. ```May my heart-sky be flooded
With my gratitude-tearsAnd smiles.
```Since life is not mine,
How do I dareTo waste it?
```Even in the darkest chambers
Of the human mind,There is light
That wants to expand. ```When we feel God,
His Heart sheds tears of joy,But we do not have the vision.

With a determination-brick wallThat no doubt will ever dare
To penetrate. ```God the Happiness

```When you meditate
On God,Meditate for a oneness-heart.
```Every day
I ply my life-boatBetween
My willingness-mind-shoreAnd
My eagerness-heart-shore. ```When my heart and I together
Start clearingOur mind’s darkness-jungle,
God invariably comes to assist us. ```Life is not a brief candle.
Life is the infinite achievementOf Immortality’s Sun
Within us. ```God tells me

```How can you expect
To lose the heavy weightOf your mind,
If you do not surrenderYour mind-possessions
To your Lord Supreme? ```Each time I sing
A God-service-song,I enjoy an hour
Of calm and peace. ```My Lord,
You need not tell meThat I am not aspiring.
My painful heartHas already given me
The message. ```Alas, how is it that we do not realise
That our possessivenessStarves our divine existence
On earth? ```No mind-made resolution
Or mind-discovered resolutionCan or will ever be final.
```By constantly analysing
Yourself,You are only paralysing
Your mind. ```No more shall I house

The faith-multiplying heart. ```O my mind,
Be not afraid of dreaming God-dreams.Your God-dreams will illumine you
And not threaten you. ```Nothingness can be nothingness

In the inner world. ```From inner nothingness-silence,
The outer fulness-soundAppears.
```The limitations of the mind
Must never be ignored.They must be fully illumined.
```The self-styled mind
Confidently tells us thatGod does not care for the world.

Says that God is the only oneWho cares for the world.
```My sound-mind,
I am now determinedTo change my loyalty
Once and for all. ```My silence-mind,

That your God is my GodAs well.
```If I do the right thing,
Then my God-satisfaction-heartImmediately comes to the fore.
```I am mistaken if I think
That God is only insideMy happiness-heart.
God is also insideMy misery-stricken mind.
```You can plunge into a sea of delight

Shorter. ```No matter what happens,
I shall not give upCalling my Lord Supreme
My own, very own. ```My aspiration-wings fly
Only when my dedication-lifeIs all unconditional.
```The mind and the mind’s greed
Focus only on one thing:Achievement.
```The heart and the heart’s service
Focus only on one thing:Self-offering.
```My very first sight of God
Was unimaginably beautifulAnd fruitful.
```God comes to meet me
And helps meOnly when I am on
My upward climb. ```God and man:
Man is the lover.God is the Self-Giver.
```Do not be afraid
Of your mind’sDoubt-rain.
Use your heart’sFaith-umbrella.
```Every hope-step
Brings a seeker closerTo his Lord Supreme.
```When you are planning
To go to see God,Do not walk,
Do not run,But sprint!
```Only in your heart-home
Will you be able to enjoyThe meal
Supplied by God Himself. ```Our God-eagerness-heart
Surrenders to God’s WillMore easily and more quickly
Than anything else. ```It is not my mind’s ignorance-night
That depresses me.It is my unwillingness
To conquer my ignorance-nightThat depresses me most.
```You may know everything
That the world can give,Yet you may fail
In the God-examination. ```You can pass the God-examination
Only by virtue ofYour self-offering.
```The purity of the heart
Is indeedA divinity-music.
```Do not confront
A doubting mind,But reject it altogether
Immediately. ```Life’s ignorance-veil
Can be removedOnly when the heart yearns
For God-Satisfaction. ```Aspiration-flames
Are impartial.They can burn in every heart,
Provided we allow them. ```Aspiration means:
God-Fountain-Love,God-Fountain-Cries
AndGod-Fountain-Smiles.
```I am happy,
Infinitely happy,Unimaginably happy,
Only when I am lostIn the sky of dreams.
```God every day
Helps us drinkHis Sweetness-Forgiveness-Nectar.
```What the mind has
Is nothing moreThan a flickering lamp
Of reason. ```Life is a long series
Of extremely laborious stepsTowards God’s Palace.
```Without our sleepless and breathless
Faith in God,Our life is barren
Of significance. ```When we live
In the desire-life,We become the pride
Of gigantic self-hallucination. ```The heart has to be
Always a happy flood of loveFor God.
```The heart houses
Boundless potential,Boundless possibilities
AndBoundless God-fulfilment.
```To be reborn
Perpetually and significantlyIs the message of life.
```God calls humanity
To look beyondAnd not behind.
```At long last
My mind is havingA God-willingness-meal.
```O my desire-life,
Wake up!Wake up from your
Self-indulgence-coma. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Happily and proudlyGives shelter
To my homeless heart-cries. ```Alas, the faith of the mind
Is so deplorable.It debates and separates
AndSeparates and debates.
```When God comes to visit me
In my mind,He shakes hands with me.
```When I go to visit God
In His Heart,Immediately He embraces me.
```The faith of our aspiring heart
Can easily puzzle the prideOf the doubting mind.
```Start by loving God-lovers.
Then only you will be successfulIn loving God Himself.
```The mind desperately and cleverly
Tries to escapeAt the momentous moment of truth.
```O my doubting mind,
Your end is imminent,For my heart and I
Are commissionedBy God Himself.
```God wants us to abide
By the requestOf the sweet, beautiful
And powerful heart. ```O my mind,
Your worries and anxietiesWill eventually become
A funeral pyre. ```The heart knows
What is in betweenThe heart and God:
Satisfaction. ```The mind knows
What is betweenThe mind and God:
Confusion. ```O my mind,
Nobody has forced you to carrySad and unhealthy memories
Of the past. ```God Himself cradles our heart
Inside His ownForgiveness-Heart.
```How cruel
The mind can be,Nobody will ever know.
```Every seeker has to traverse
The aspiration-heart-skyTo grow into
Divinity’s Goodness. ```We must enjoy
Not the length of timeBut the strength of time.
```May I live between
My heart’s pitiful criesAnd
My soul’s beaming smiles. ```Our meditation-silence alone
Can extinguish the burning flamesOf our desire-life.
```Like Lord Shiva,
May my heart, mind, vitalAnd body
Enjoy the beauty and fragranceOf self-oblivion.
```God wants us to lose
All our littlenessSo that He can bless us
With His Eternity’s JoyAnd
His Infinity’s Pride. ```To escape
From the cycles of natureIs extremely difficult,
No doubt,But not impossible.
```A self-giving life
Is a guaranteed ticketTo Heaven’s highest heights.
```A heart that is not attacked
By insecurityWill be a choice instrument
Of God. ```May my aspiration-life
Be the ever-rising sunOf oneness-beauty.
```We have to add new realities
To humanity’s conventionsTo make life
More colourful, fruitful, inspiringAnd illumining.
```A desire-life
Is always a stranger toComplete satisfaction.
```Happiness-kingdom
Is well guardedBy oneness-peace.
```Each God-seeker
Is a unique merchantOn aspiration-ocean.
```Activity-vitality
Must invade the body’sLethargy-country.
```My God-surrender
Has solvedAll my life’s uncertainties.
```If you do not
Violently slam the doorOn your self-doubts,
You will not be able to makeAny satisfactory progress
In your spiritual life. ```O seeker,
If your heart is sculptedWith purity,
Yours will be a lifeOf God-satisfaction.
```The desiring mind sees
That it is homelessWhen the aspiring heart
Has its home everywhere. ```My heart
Has finally silencedMy confusion-sound-world.
```Enthusiasm
Has to be founded uponA purity-heart
To make the fastest progressIn the spiritual life.
```We must carry the world
With our hearts’ concern-lightFor the betterment and improvement
Of the world. ```His spiritual life
Compelled him to cast asideA good many things
That he once cherished. ```A seeker is he
Who treasures aspiration-dreamsAnd
Dedication-realities. ```God is proud
Of my silence-whispersAnd not of my sound-drums.
```Each purity-thought
Carries the messageOf oneness-peace.
```May my soul
Be immeasurably proud ofMy aspiration-heart
AndDedication-life.
```There is no
Proper substituteFor a gratitude-heart.
```When we are perfect strangers
To doubts,God’s Happiness
Knows no bounds. ```God always employs
A self-giving lifeTo take down
His Blessing-Messages. ```If there is no indomitable will,
The seeker cannot go farIn the spiritual life.
```Let each moment offer
Its prayers and meditationsTo God
For the improvement of humanity. ```An unseen ringing bell
Inside my heartIs giving me unfathomable joy.
```Look within and behold,
You are of your heart-tearsAnd for your life-smiles.
```Only in a peace-kingdom
Can the hunger of the aspiration-heartBe fed and nourished.
```Humanity is divided by
The mind’s insanityAnd
The heart’s sanity. ```My Lord tells me
That each new secondIs a new possibility for me
To realise Him, reveal HimAnd manifest Him.
```When the confusion of the mind
Increases,The aspiration-flame of the heart
Decreases. ```Failure,
My life is no longerYour possession.
```When I am at the foot
Of God’s meditation-tree,God not only visits me
But also embraces me. ```You came into the world
To serve your Master.Alas, you are compelling your Master
To serve you instead. ```My Lord Supreme
Is working very hardTo keep my mind-gloom
Far awayFrom my life-doom.
```God does not create problems for us.
It is we who create problemsFor ourselves.
God comes to us as an opportunityTo solve all the problems
Of our life. ```Finally
My Lord Supreme has decidedThat He will no longer preside
Over humanity’s complaint-court. ```You do not have to confess
Your inadequacies to God.You just confirm them
AndGod is sure to assist you.
```My Lord,
Do not forgive me,If You do not want to.
But never try to forget me,My Lord, never!
```My mind always remains
Unfamiliar to me.My heart and I are extremely familiar
With each other. ```When I tell God
That I have nothing to offer Him,God tells me,
“Give Me, then, your willingness.I assure you, My Fulness
Will be all yours.” ```When we go to God as we are,
God, with tremendous Pride,Transforms our mind-hallucinations
Into our heart’s hopes and promises. ```My Lord Supreme,
Only one thing of YoursI treasure —
Your express Command. ```We all must cry
For freedom-light,For freedom-delight
AndFreedom-flight.
```May my Lord’s Smile
Be my life’sBe-all and end-all.
```O my soul,
May you be my life’sOnly boatman.
```O my heart,
May you be my life’sOnly boat.
```A God-service-life
Is indeedA God-Satisfaction-Pride.
```My gratitude-heart hails
From my Lord’sCompassion-flooded Feet.
```My Lord,
I want to have You personallyAs my Teacher Supreme.
I really do not want to go throughYour correspondence courses.
```Spirituality
Means the mind’s immensityAnd
The heart’s intensity. ```My mind’s ego-boasting
Never impressesMy Lord Supreme.
```Attention, O God-lovers,
God is descendingIn satisfaction-showers.
```Eventually, if not immediately,
I will becomeA faithful and devoted friend
Of my heart. ```May each and every divine thought
Be a successful turning pointIn my spiritual life.
```No matter how hard we try
To cultivate gratitudeIn our heart,
It seems that we are livingIn an age of ingratitude.
```The choice of illumining wisdom
We must make,And not the choice of precise knowledge.
```Freedom we need
From the outer world-distractions.Freedom we need
From the inner world-dissatisfactions. ```Only the stark fools
Want to wait until the next lifeFor God-realisation
AndTheir nature-transformation.
```There is no other way to thrive
Than to striveHappily and sleeplessly.
```A seeker gets a real promotion
Only when he increasesHis love of God immensely.
```O seeker,
Listen to God’s radio broadcastEvery day.
He always broadcastsHappiness-news,
Illumination-hopesAnd
Fulfilment-promises. ```O my doubtful mind,
Can you not try faithFor a little change?
```God wants us
To depend on Him solelyWhen we want to defend ourselves
Against ignorance-attacks. ```Only a fool can think
That an aspiration-heartIs also limited
Like everything else. ```The human mind
Is nothing short ofImpoverished thinking.
```The human heart
Is nothing short ofGod-fearful loving.
```There shall always be
Limitless troublesFor an insincerity-mind.
```Slowly, steadily and unerringly
My soul-smilesAre healing all my heart’s
Tear-wounds. ```God never becomes bitter
No matter how unwillingWe are.
```Our God-dissatisfaction
Knows no boundsWhen our brooding desires
Are not fulfilled. ```My surrender-breath
IsA most valuable treasure,
Cherished by God Himself. ```We must focus
AlwaysOn the path of soulfulness.
```When a desiring mind makes a change
In a seeker’s life,It ends in a most deplorable failure.
```If you like the heart’s way,
Then the distanceFrom captivity to liberation
Is quite short. ```An aspiration-heart creates always
Sunshine-cheerfulnessFor humanity.
```Only dynamism has the capacity
To severOur lethargy-bindings.
```If there is no inner wealth,
There can be no outer, powerfulSmile-spring.
```Eagerness-electricity
Definitely addsTo our aspiration-intensity.
```Poor God,
When will He receiveLove-gratitude-letters from us
Instead ofAbsurd complaint-letters?
```Yesterday
God was satisfiedOnly with my aspiration.
```Today
God tells meThat He will be satisfied
Only if I add dedicationTo my aspiration.
```Tomorrow
God will be satisfiedOnly if I long for His full manifestation
On earth. ```Insecurity disappears
When the aspiration-heartProperly blossoms.
```What does God do?
He always winks atMy most deplorable shortcomings.
```The divine in me loves God
For everything He doesAnd
He does not doFor me.
```The human in me blames God
For anything that goes wrongIn this world.
```The divine in me
Is extremely grateful to GodFor allowing me to participate
In His Cosmic Game. ```God waited and waited for me
To give up my long associationWith ignorance-night.
```All the questions about God
Can be answeredBy using four words:
“I love God only.” ```We forget to remember God.
Therefore our life on earthRemains uninspired, unillumined
And unfulfilled. ```A conscious self-giver
Yesterday I was.A precious God-receiver
Now I am. ```Wisdom is of little value
If it does not obeyGod’s Command,
For everything is being done on earthBy God.
```The mind gets frightened to death
When it receives an invitationTo dine at the table of Truth.
```If you want to steer your life-boat,
Not over-confidence,Not self-reliance,
But God-realisation-reliance aloneIs of supreme need.
```To help others go
In the right direction,We must go in that direction
First. ```O seeker,
God sleeplessly meditates on you.Can you not sleeplessly think of Him?
```God-willingness-freedom
Has no parallel. ```To conquer the mind’s insincerity,
A purity-heartIs of tremendous need.
```My Lord,
Over the years I have given YouMany things.
You have blessingfully accepted them.Only one thing more I have to give You:
My Himalayan pride.Be pleased to accept it.
```God declares:
Humanity’s lifeIs a oneness-heart-family.
```Give up your fear
Of divingDeep within.
```Experience is not as deep
As realisation.Realisation is not as beautiful
As revelation.Revelation is not as powerful
As manifestation. ```Experience becomes
A slowRealisation-preparation.
```Realisation becomes
A slowerRevelation-preparation.
```Revelation becomes
The slowestManifestation-preparation.
```Transcend
Your mind-boundariesHere and now.
```Surrender-flowering first,
And thenGod-discovery.
```What is new?
God smiled at meFor the first time.
```What else is new?
God claimed my heartAs His own, very own.
```We all know
That God is great.We all know
That God is good.But do we know
That God is our ownHighest Self?
```Make not peace
With ignorance-night.No, never!
```Each time I see
My Master’s eyes,I learn something inspiring.
```Each time I feel
My Master’s heart,I become something illumining.
```Spirituality is a game.
Love, devotion and surrenderAre the rules.
```Surrender is infinitely more
Beautiful and powerfulThan self-esteem.
```Renunciation is good.
Acceptance for transformationIs infinitely better.
```Pleasure
DeservesNo respect.
```God’s Voice
MeansOneness-choice.
```A fairness-mind
Is a very rare productOf God.
```My outer life
NeedsGod’s Forgiveness-Heart.
```My inner life
NeedsGod’s Compassion-Eye.
```My Lord,
My life knowsThat You are
Your Compassion-Eye. ```My Lord,
My mind has to knowThat You are
Your Forgiveness-Heart. ```Surrender, surrender, surrender!
All your dreamsShall come true.
```We cannot gloriously
Journey through lifeWithout accepting the world.
```Love, love,
Love the lifeOf acceptance.
```Embrace, embrace,
Embrace the heartOf surrender.
```Wisdom-light
BecomesSatisfaction-delight.
```A complete life-acceptance
IsA perfect heart-performance.
```Smile-producers
Are the richestWealth-owners.
```Do not fool yourself into believing
That God will come to youOn His own
Even if you do not pray and meditate. ```Right here and now
I must start pleasing GodIn His own Way.
```Life is void
Because we do not dareTo look deep within.
```Faith is not exhibition.
Faith is not even description.Faith is self-absorption.
```Every day
God wants me to cryWith His streaming Heart.
```Every day
God wants me to smileWith His ever-blossoming Soul.
```Today’s highest goal
Is tomorrow’s new beginningFor an ever-transcending goal.
```Life has no limits.
It is the mind that createsLife’s so-called limits.
```If you really want to realise God,
Then God will give youEvery opportunity to succeed.
```Compassion says:
“I can easilyDo it.”
```Forgiveness says:
“I have alreadyDone it.”
```Judgement-light
Is no match forCompassion-delight.
```Without aspiration,
We must feel our lifeIs incomplete and complicated.
```To pursue our golden dreams,
We must silenceOur hesitation-mind.
```To forgive others
Is the real bloomingOf our wisdom.
```To forgive ourselves
Is the perfect blossomingOf our wisdom.
```Our mind’s resentments
Consume our life-energyMost shockingly.
```The mind says:
“I do not want God.I do not need God.”
```The heart says:
“I only want GodThe only Reality.
I only need GodThe only Reality.”
```Conscience
Is not my inspector.Conscience
Is my teacher.Conscience
Is my tutor. ```Simplicity,
You my mindConstantly needs.
```Sincerity,
You my heartDesperately needs.
```Wisdom
Passes far beyondDesire-limits.
```From wisdom we come to learn
How to grow intoInfinity’s Smile.
```Wisdom is studying
And giving at the same timeSelflessness-lessons.
```Wisdom means
Travelling cheerfullyAlong Eternity’s Road.
```Wisdom
Is our constantGod-dependence-choice.
```Wisdom is the abundance
Of streaming tearsAnd
Beaming smiles. ```Wisdom is
The most beautiful floweringOf aspiration.
```By executing even small actions,
We can arriveAt Infinity’s Door.
```God wants me to prove to myself
That ‘impossibility’ is onlyA dictionary word.
I must deny its very existence. ```Boundless light
We have within.We must strive
To access it. ```The flower-heart of a seeker
Is not only beautiful and fragrant,But also a supreme treasure.
```We must be prayerful,
To meet with God’sExpress Needs.
```Each good thought
Is a sweet dreamThat is carrying us
To Heaven. ```O my mind,
Can you not seeThat you are gambling
With my Lord’sCompassion-Flood?
```For a spiritual Master,
Nothing is more difficultThan to say “No”
To his dear disciple. ```The louder noise I make
In my outer life,The more silent
My Lord becomes. ```Today’s desire-seed
Will tomorrow germinateAs sorrow.
```Follow I must my soul,
And neverThe other way around.
```When I am happy,
God tells meThat I am supremely good.
```When I am happier,
God tells meThat He will share
Some of His absolute SecretsWith me.
```When I am happiest,
God tells meThat He has decided to make me
His representative here on earth. ```All my dreams shall fly
Far beyond my mind’sImagination-flights.
```God does not want me
To rememberMy failure-life.
```God wants me
To rememberOnly my God-surrender-breath.
```Unlike my outer life,
My inner life is predictable,For it lives in God, with God
And for God. ```Sad and painful
DisappointmentsI had.
```Strong and fruitful
DetachmentI have.
```Glorious and precious
EnlightenmentI now am.
```You cannot predict your Master’s
Outer life-movements,Not to speak of
His inner life-moments. ```If you cannot carry
Your inner happiness everywhere,Your outer life will remain
Terribly unbalanced. ```If you allow your mind to roam,
God will not visitYour heart-home.
```My heart’s tears
Will always precedeMy life’s smiles.
```Each human being
Has many enemies.Disappointment is by far
The worst. ```Night after night
We dream sweet dreams.Day after day
We lament, miserably lament. ```God is God’s powerful Eye
Only when I do not loveHis creation-beauty.
```God is God’s all-giving Heart
When I sincerely startServing humanity.
```God is God’s blissful Eye
When my heart and ILive together.
```God and Eternity are one.
Yet Eternity is quite uninspiringTo me.
```If you want to remain
Always the best,Then never desire rest.
```The moment I see my heart smiling,

Starts,My hesitation-mind
Departs. ```My favourite

```The human mind
Will never understandWhat the divine mind perceives.
```The mind can never know
The full truth.It only knows a fraction
Of the truth. ```We all must discover
Our inner sunsTo replace mind-knowledge
With heart-wisdom. ```Every day
God encourages usAnd inspires us
To uncoverOur inner treasure-delight.
```Either we must find ourselves
Inside God,Or we must lose ourselves
At the Feet of God. ```Nobody can properly define
The lengthOf the mind’s ego.
```When the mind talks,
It talks meaninglesslyFrom the other side
Of life. ```The only thing to possess:
Our heart’s sleeplessAnd breathless
God-hunger. ```By virtue of our prayers
And meditations,We must grow into
An indivisible whole. ```The mind’s nothingness
Is nothing otherThan the life’s fulness.
```Humanity is moving
Between two extremes:God-hunger
AndMind-pleasure.

```When I am strict
With myself,I see God’s Beauty,

```O my stupid mind,
How do you dare to defendYour constant misbehaviour
In the world of aspirationAnd
In the world of dedication? ```When we pray and meditate
Self-givingly,Our heart gets the capacity
To enter into Divinity’s Sea. ```The mind’s doubt-workers
Are not allowed to workInside the heart’s
God-producing factory. ```I am so happy and so proud
Of myselfThat every morning

```The stupid mind
Always wants to remainIn the thickness
Of ignorance-cloud. ```We all must join
God’s ArmyTo conquer the hostilities
Of the lower worlds. ```We must totally forget

```Alas,
It takes a very long timeFor us to know
That a doubting mind is, indeed,A dead ant.
```Surrender is magic indeed
To turn all difficultiesInto pearls.
```Spirituality is
A strong edificeAnd not a sand castle.
```God always loves
To dream in me,Through me,

```Vacation in the spiritual life
Is the beginningOf a seeker’s failure.
```Anything that is dormant,
Either spiritual or material,Spirituality will awaken.
```Is there any human being
Who does not sufferFrom exorbitant expectation?
```Spirituality has to be rock solid
In a seeker’s life.If not, his spirituality will be
Nothing short of futility. ```Opportunity is
The beauty and fragranceOf each aspiring moment.

Hope says I can doBecause God has already done it
For me. ```Every day I must try
To enjoy the companionshipOf my soul.
```If you carelessly run
Inside the mind-forest,God will cry and cry
