My Lord,
I am safeOnly in You.
I am strongOnly for You.
I am gladOnly when I am
With You. ```I decorate my heart-road
AlwaysWith God’s Victory-Banner.
```When my surrender-beauty
Is pure,God’s Pride in me
Is sure. ```My self-giving
MeansMy God-access-delight.
```Only the highest aspiration-climbers
Can be blessedBy God’s Sunshine-Smile.
```Each soulfulness-heart
Is the promiseOf an ever-blossoming bliss.
```May my heart’s God-love-boat
Sail every dayBeautifully, smoothly
And gloriously. ```God the Smiler
IsGod’s Satisfaction-lover.
```Do not think
Of your own incapacity-tears.Think only
Of real satisfaction-cheers. ```My Master,
How can I please you?“Just ask your body to move
A little fasterAnd ask your heart to dive
A little deeper.” ```My Lord, do You love me?
“Yes, My child.I love you most when you are
A sincerity-mindAnd
A purity-heart.” ```My heart-inspiring prayers
Brighten my lifeImmediately.
```Faith is the only protection
That we needFrom our mind’s doubt-invasion.
```We must not ignore —
On the contrary,We must adore —
Our heart’sClimbing cries.
```My Lord Supreme autographs
Only two books:My enthusiasm-mind-book
AndMy surrender-eagerness-book.
```There is no mind-hurricane
That cannot be silencedBy our heart’s
Soul-oneness-power. ```The silence of meditation
IsThe expansion of a happiness
And fulness-heart. ```Nothing can be as beautiful
As the gratitude-tearsOf a devotion-heart.
```God and God’s Smiles
Are always foundInside my heart-tears.
```Difficult, but not impossible,
To dethroneThe proud ego-king-mind.
```O my heart’s silence-peace,
My Lord every day invitesYou and me
To join HimIn His Satisfaction-Feast.
```Frustration looms large
Only in a God-doubtingAnd
World-suspecting mind. ```Go beyond the domain
Of the mind.You will be able to shine
In the galaxyOf happiness-stars.
```Each inspiring thought
Is bound to be saturatedWith God-Blessing-Delight.
```My Master’s only hobby
IsHide-and-seek.
```Every day
We must protect ourselvesFrom the disobedience-monster.
```A self-giving life
IsA God-manifestation-victory.
```Aspire, aspire, aspire
Always to beA choice instrument of God
And to remain soForever and forever.
```Silence the mind!
The Bliss of our LordShall claim you
Immediately. ```Always be prepared
To fight againstYour stark ignorance-enemies.
```The Compassion-Eye
Of GodWatches us.
```The Forgiveness-Heart
Of GodWaits for us.
```A God-surrender-life
Is more than sufficientIn every way.
It does not need anythingFrom the rest of the world.
```Our prayerful tears
Can bring back our hopeTo please God
In His own Way. ```God wants my mind
Either to remain silentOr to live
Farther than the farthestFrom my aspiration-heart.
```Willingness and eagerness
AreFrustration-despair-proof.
```He who sincerely aspires
Will have no time to findEven an iota of imperfection
In God’s entire creation. ```Transformation and perfection-games:
These are the two gamesGod enjoys playing all the time
For humanity. ```It matters not
How much we knowAbout God.
It matters onlyHow much we have given
To God. ```When disobedience arrives,
It is always accompanied byA ruthless tornado.
```Today’s complacency-laughter
IsTomorrow’s unavoidable ruin.
```Love, devotion, surrender —
These are the three pathsThat lead to
Infinity’s fulfilment. ```Each path has its own length.
Surrender-pathHas the shortest length.
```My Lord is
My Lord’sCompassion-Fountain.
```I am
My mind’sFrustration-chain.
```The mind is the voice
That always speaksTo itself.
```The heart is the voice
That always speaksTo God,
Seated at God’s Feet. ```The beauty of each life
Has to be spreadThroughout the length and breadth
Of the world. ```My Lord, please tell me
How much You will miss meIn my absence.
“My child, I am already missing you,Even in your presence.”
My Lord, I do not understandWhat You mean.
“My child, the divinityThat I once saw in you,
Alas, no more is visible.I really miss your divinity.”
```As millions of stars
Sing and dance togetherIn harmony,
Even so, our body,Vital, mind and heart
Must sing and danceIn harmony.
```In the Sight of God
There is no uncomelyHuman being —
No, none. ```To see ourselves as God sees us
Shall forever remainAn impossible task.
```Each human being
Is a special musicOf the invisible soul.
```An act of faith
IsA God-Palace
Entrance ticket. ```God asks me to go and mix
Only with thoseWho do not ask Him
Either for greatnessOr for goodness,
But only for God-oneness. ```Be brave!
You can easily conquerThe absolutely ferocious, voracious,
Destructive tigersInside you.
```It is faith-medicine
That easily curesInsecurity-jealousy-bites.
```Just exercise
Your meditation-muscleTo become inwardly strong,
Stronger, strongest. ```When we pray and meditate,
We can not only feelBut also see what is happening
In the inner world. ```When we pray and meditate,
We come to realiseThat there is only one thing we need:
Peace. ```Peace means satisfaction.
Alas, this world has everythingSave and except
Peace. ```If we have peace,
We will be satisfiedWith whatever God wants
For us. ```Lo, it is peace
That gives usTrue satisfaction-delight.
```To better oneself
Means to beA good citizen of the world.
```To be a good citizen of the world
Means I am not only for myself;I am for the rest of the world.
```Peace
Is notIn material accumulation.
```Peace
Is in inner awakening,And this inner awakening
We must shareWith the rest of the world.
```If I do not accept myself
As imperfect,How am I going to transcend
My limitations? ```If I do not accept
The world’s imperfections,How can I be a member
Of the world-transformation-team? ```Let us not forget to be integral,
Giving due importanceTo the body, vital, mind, heart
And soul. ```Truth-seekers
Accomplish everythingFrom their prayer-life
AndMeditation-life.
```God-lovers
Accomplish everythingOnly by God’s Grace.
```Our philosophy
Is progress.In our self-transcendence
Is our tremendous joy. ```Individual self-transcendence
Collectively inspiresHumanity at large.
```Only when we are inspired
Do we do nice things for ourselvesAnd also for others.
```Only when we aspire soulfully
Do we give happinessTo the rest of the world.
```My God-meditation is the trunk
Of my life-tree;My world-service-activities,
The branches. ```We try to get joy by dividing,
But real joyComes from uniting.
```To separate ourselves
From others,To lord it over others,
Is the way of ignorance. ```When there is a feeling
Of supremacy,There can be no peace,
For peace is only in oneness. ```Happiness
Is of supreme importance.When I am really happy,
I have no timeTo find fault with others.
```When we are unhappy,
We speak ill of othersAnd do things we should not do.
```If we pray,
God will guide us.If we do not pray,
Our mind will misguide us. ```The mind is misleading us
Along the barren pathOf division,
Supremacy and separation. ```The heart is leading us
Along the fruitful pathOf union and oneness.
```Only to feel
The Presence of God,Each human being worships
In his own way. ```The inner peace and the outer happiness
Must go together.When we do not have even an iota
Of peace,We are bound to be unhappy.
```If there is peace-beauty,
Then there isHappiness-fragrance.
```Unhappiness
Is always apt to speak illOf others
And to tryTo destroy others.
```Only happiness
Has the capacityTo accept the whole world
As its own, very own. ```Morning is by far the best time
For my God-searching mindAnd
My God-aspiring heartTo play together
And sing together. ```Evening is by far the best time
For my surrender-lifeAnd
My Lord’s Satisfaction-HeartTo embrace each other.
```Our Lord’s Satisfaction-Heart
Is onlyFor the self-giving seekers.
```When we take life seriously,
We get either extreme joyOr extreme sadness.
```When we achieve something great,
We get tremendous joy.When we become really good,
God gets tremendous joyAnd satisfaction.
```Eagerness and intensity
Accomplish many things,But only patience gives us
Real joy. ```What the divine in me
Calls determination,The human in me
Calls sheer greed. ```Beware!
At every momentSelf-doubt may come
To take awayYour joy.
```If we quite often
Violate wisdom,Lo, we are in serious trouble!
```Knowledge is good.
Wisdom is infinitely better.Self-offering to the Lord Supreme
Is by far the best. ```Determination
Sometimes tells wisdom:“You can go one step forward;
You can still climb one step higher.” ```A true disciple must not forget
To value the Master’sInner presence.
```To meditate on and enter into
The Master’sTranscendental consciousness
Is to truly valueThe Master’s inner presence.
```The Master’s
Transcendental consciousnessIs all-pervading
And fulfils a true disciple’sEvery need.
```Alas, we are begging our unhappy mind
To make us happy.Let us knock at our heart-door,
The right door,Which can and shall make us happy.
```My Lord,
I know, I know,It is You who have increased
All the divine qualitiesIn my life.
```Who gave me the capacity
To do the right thing?My Lord Beloved Supreme.
```If we are happy
With our achievement,We have to give gratitude
To the OneWho has invisibly prepared us
Inwardly. ```Every day
We must cry and cry and cryTo find shelter at the Lotus-Feet
Of our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```When you realise God,
God will be happy that He can putSome of His heavy responsibilities
On your shoulders. ```The more inner communication
You can establish with the Supreme,The more He will have confidence
In you. ```Every morning my soul
Educates my heartTo satisfy my Lord
During the entire day. ```God is so proud of the realised souls
And so proud of HimselfThat He has moulded and shaped them.
```By becoming one
With God the Infinite,You become the true pride
Of His cosmic Energy, LightAnd Delight.
```God will never become bankrupt,
But only richer and richer,When you grab His Peace, Light
And Bliss. ```The greater your Master’s
Confidence in you,The higher your responsibilities.
```He who has raised his consciousness
Will be appreciated, admiredAnd adored
By his soul, his Master and the Supreme. ```He who develops oneness
With the MasterHelps his Master immeasurably.
```Yesterday
God gave me a smile.Today
God may give me a frown,But I know it is all for my good.
```Whatever God gives me
Or does not give me,Always God knows best.
```What else is God-satisfaction,
If not thinking of GodAnd loving Him ceaselessly?
```What else is God-satisfaction,
If not singing God-songsFor the world-audience?
```What else is God-satisfaction,
If not inspiring othersAnd being inspired by them?
```O my life-boat-Pilot,
Finally I am all ready.You may immediately start.
```What can take away
All our inner poison?Just one smile.
```The Supreme powerfully helps me
With His Blessings, Love,Compassion and Joy.
```I serve the Supreme
UnconditionallyWith my love, devotion
And surrender. ```The Master reveals
Not for himself,But for his spiritual children.
```The Master just throws himself
Into the Universal ConsciousnessTo enter into
His spiritual children’s hearts. ```Because of his identification-oneness,
Where his spiritual children are,The Master is there.
```My Lord wants me to be
A contemplative seekerAnd not a pride-flooded
Superlative seeker. ```I am praying to God
Only for one thing:His Smile.
```In the morning,
If God smiles at us,Then everything
Will definitely go wellDuring the day.
```Every day my Lord asks me
Only one thing:“What do you think
Will make you happy,My child?
I shall give it to you.” ```Good seekers,
Without fail,Have to become
Better than the best. ```For sincere seekers
There is only one way:Forward, forward, forward.
```Alas, if bad seekers do not want
To become good,They are bound to become
Worse than the worst! ```Only your aspiration-heart
Will knowThe sacred and secret promises
You are making to your Lord Supreme. ```If we are really committed
To the spiritual life,We will try to fulfil
Our inner promisesIn our everyday life.
```If you self-givingly pray
To the SupremeFor a drop of His Compassion,
He will give youAn ocean of Compassion.
```If you make a sincere effort,
God will give you much moreThan you ever asked for.
```You have to go step by step
And cheerfully waitFor God’s choice Hour.
```First surrender to God’s Will
And practiseA different kind of life.
Then God will do everythingFor you.
```If there is sincerity in our surrender,
We do not have to worry.God will forgive all our past mistakes.
```Alas, why are you wallowing
In the pleasures of comfortWith no inner urge to go up?
```The highest meditation comes
Through unconditional surrenderTo God’s Will.
```The highest meditation comes
Through self-givingAnd selfless service
To the world. ```If you really make
Tremendous spiritual progress,You are bound to feel it.
```If you are going downhill
Spiritually,You are bound to see and feel it.
```The wild strength of your mind
Convinces youOf nothing but false reality.
```It is the aspiration-heart
That can tell youWhether you are doing
The right thing,Whether you are becoming
The right person. ```Value your Master’s
Inner capacity and inner strength,And you will be the real winner!
```Value the inner divinity
In your Master.Lo, your progress will be
Unimaginable! ```Consciousness
Is the ocean-vastness.Delight
Is the ocean-depth. ```Consciousness
Is the huge tree.Delight
Is inside every leaf and branch. ```Consciousness and Delight
Go togetherLike the beauty and fragrance
Of a flower. ```The One Absolute Supreme
Has become many,And the many are now consciously,
Devotedly, soulfully, sleeplesslyAnd breathlessly
Longing for their long-lost onenessWith the Absolute Lord Supreme.
```My heart’s ever-growing gratitude
I am offeringTo the length and breadth
Of the whole world. ```God has not made anybody
Indispensable.Only out of His infinite Bounty
He gives us opportunitiesTo become
Good citizens of the world —To become
His divine, supreme instruments. ```O God,
Do stay insideMy small heart
And not insideMy big mouth.
```If you want to get the full quantity
Of God’s Blessings,Just try to make a little progress,
Based on your oneness-heart. ```India and America are two wings
Of the universal soul-birdThat flies up into the high, higher
And highest region of consciousnessAnd becomes inseparably one
With God’s transcendental VisionOf the ever-transcending Beyond.
```Do you want to carry God’s Feet
To Heavenly heights,Or do you want poor God to stay
Here on earthWith your unconsciousness
And inconscience? ```We are all leaves, flowers
And fruitsOn the different religion-branches
Of the birthless and deathlessLife-tree.
```When God does something for you
Most soulfully and self-givingly,Prepare yourself
To have the utmost receptivityAnd
To be the most sincere seeker. ```While you were singing
The forgiveness-songFrom the inmost recesses
Of your heart,Your Lord Supreme was swimming
In the Sea of Ecstasy. ```If we obey God,
We play the most significant role.At that time His infinite Compassion
Makes us feelThat we are indispensable.
```In the spiritual life
A seeker must be extremely brave,For he has to acclimatise
To all inner altitudes. ```If you work soulfully
And devotedlyWith a oneness-heart,
You will becomeThe dear, dearer, dearest
Instrument of God,And God will be
Infinitely more proud of youThan you can ever imagine.
```Only by serving
The Absolute Lord SupremeDo we participate
In His divine manifestation. ```I get boundless joy
And satisfactionJust from trying!
```O seeker,
You have expressedYour genuine longing
For world-peace.That means you have opened the door
For others to make spiritual progress. ```If you hurl division-arrows
At God,He will definitely give you a zero,
And that zeroWill be your worst punishment.
```It is so easy for us
To blame our enemies.Can we not increase
Our capacitiesAnd strengthen ourselves
To illumine our enemies,So that they can claim us
As their very own? ```My Lord Beloved Supreme,
I am offering YouFrom my very heartbeat
A gratitude-life-energy-plant. ```My whole heart
Cries for humanity,And the whole humanity
Cries in my heart. ```Humanity’s cry goes to the Supreme
For constant, sleeplessForgiveness.
Because of His sleepless Forgiveness,Each human being can still live
On earth. ```No other divine quality
Does God need as much as peaceFor His full manifestation
On earth. ```I gave my Lord Supreme
A most special message:“My Lord,
As long as I am on earth,My heart’s gratitude-plant for You
Will every day grow tall,Taller and tallest.”
```My Lord Supreme gave me
This sacred and secret Message:“My child,
While I am in Heaven,My Blessings for you will grow
Powerful, more powerfulAnd most powerful.”
```It is only through
Soulful invocationThat at God’s choice Hour
Peace will descendAnd inundate
The body, vital, mind and heart. ```There is no human being on earth
Who cannot bring to the fore his soulThat is inundated with peace
And offer this peaceTo the world at large,
If he most sincerelyWants to.
```It is through peace
That God offers Himself.Again, it is through peace
That God receives. ```The earth-receptivity God creates
Only according toThe earth-gratitude
To God. ```My earth-cries
And my Heaven-smilesBoth come to the fore
From withinTo satisfy
My Lord Beloved Supreme. ```Through our soulful songs,
We offer the messageOf aspiration, dedication,
Realisation and onenessWith our Beloved Supreme.
```I invoke the Supreme
And His ForgivenessFor humanity,
And I invoke humanity’sSincere desire to manifest
The Light of the Lord SupremeHere, there and all-where.
```What did our Lord Supreme tell
His chosen children?“My children,

In My Heart of PrideAnd My Soul of Love and Delight
Forever.” ```What did our Lord Supreme tell
His chosen children?“My children,
Because of your completeIdentification with Me,
Gratitude is My Name,And gratitude is My Home
Where you all will always live.” ```When my heart
Becomes inseparably oneWith humanity’s cry,
My Lord gives me a new name:Perfection.
```The fully illumined soul feels
It is its sole responsibilityTo long for peace
For its body, vital, mind and heartFrom the Absolute Supreme.
```Every day a soulful song blossoms
From the very depthOf my aspiration-heart
To satisfy my Lord SupremeIn His own Way.
```If you sing self-givingly
In the farthest corner of the world,Then somebody meditating
Inside the Himalayan cavesWill feel your song’s sublime divinity.
```When we appreciate the good qualities
In the height and depth of a country,Its soul gets the inner strength
To awaken againThe members of its own family:
Its countrymen. ```There are some special seekers
Who believe in the existenceOf the soul
As the absolute secretAnd sacred reality
For God-manifestationHere on earth.
```When God brings forward
Your soul’s spiritual qualities,The soul gets an extra chance
To manifest its divine qualitiesIn and through the body, vital,
Mind and heart. ```Try to invoke, then embody,
Then reveal and then finally manifestGod on earth.
So many steps to climb up,But if you believe in the uniqueness
Of the first step,Then immediately start!
```If there is no enthusiasm and eagerness
Behind your self-giving,Then where is your oneness
With your Lord Beloved Supreme? ```Your genuine feeling for your nation
Is absolutely necessary.Then you and your nation
Together will sing the songOf self-transcendence
To completely satisfyYour Lord Beloved Supreme.
```May my outer expression
