To collect the golden dustOf the Master’s feet.
```May my life reveal
God’s blessingful PresenceAt every moment.
```When I saw God
And His smiling FaceFor the first time,
I was excited. ```When I saw God
And His climbing EyeFor the first time,
I was delighted. ```When I saw God
And His descending FeetFor the first time,

IsA painful experience.
```A self-giving heart
IsA fruitful realisation.

```If you do not search
For God’s Light,Then your heart’s joy

Be our onlyCode of life.
```With a second-rate
Enthusiasm and eagerness,We can never satisfy
Our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```How strange is our mind!
It treasuresA zig-zag course!
```An aura of peace

Is our sole duty. ```There is
No such thingAs an insoluble problem.
```O my Lord Supreme,
Do anything you wantWith my poor life, my ungrateful life,
But do not disown me. ```The confusion
Of the mindIs dangerously contagious.
```Desire-life eventually
Proves to beA life of useless death.
```Impurity and insincerity
Are always engaged inMutual destruction.
```To see a constantly
Self-giving human beingIs beyond the farthest reaches
Of my imagination. ```There are so many individuals
On earthWho just pay lip-service
To the spiritual divinity. ```I must not allow

```Our lasting faith in God
Dissolves all the doubtsOf our mind.
```O my Lord Supreme,
Do hold me in the Protection-PalmOf Your Compassion-Hand.
```It is a deplorable experience
That spirituality remains remoteFrom most human beings.
```A human life comes and goes
Just like the flickerOf an eye.
```Everybody is afraid
Of ruining his reputation,But does anybody care
About buildingAn aspiration-palace?
```I must control
The mounting frustrationOf my unaspiring mind.
```Only spiritual God-lions
Can feed meAnd my self-confidence.
```I must increase every day
My heart-faith in GodSo that I can lessen
My mind-torture. ```When the ultimate time comes,
Nobody can postponeThe inevitable approach of death.
```To try to conquer self-doubt
Without God’s special GraceIs like dashing against

Of each opportunityWhen it arrives.

To do the right thing. ```The awakened mind
May show kindnessTo those who not only do not deserve it
But also misuse it — alas! ```Generosity and charity
Must be guided by the inner lightTo avoid
Even unconscious mistakes. ```To throw cold water
On poor God’s manifestationIs to drink poison.
```To prune the branches
Of jealousy-insecurity-impurity-treeIs to drink nectar.
```Emulate others’ many good qualities
Instead of maliciously bringing forwardTheir bad qualities.
```If we enter into gossip
About somebody’s inner or outer life,That is the moment we descend.
```O seeker, do not drink poison

To drink nectar with you someday. ```When we get joy,
Let us sleeplessly continueDoing the right thing
To receiveMore joy and abundant joy.
```Let not curiosity change our direction
Along the joy-roadTo a backward march.

But the right thing after all. ```Alas, a mistake can sow the seed
That grows into a poisonous plant,Producing poisonous fruits.

```God begs all His children
To give Him the responsibilityFor their lives.
```Offer your mistakes to God tearfully.
Lo, your problemsWill no more return.
```The Supreme’s Smile lasts and lasts
And takes away all sufferingAnd frustration
In the seeker’s life. ```Even if our progress lasts
For only a minute,The Supreme feels it is
A great achievement. ```Our self-giving
Is our true inner life —Our inner hunger for truth,
Delight, beauty and perfection. ```If I have a pure heart,
My outer actionsWill also be pure.
```God is both the Creator and creation,
But the Vision of God came firstAnd then the manifestation of God.
```Our physical capacity
Is the direct resultOf our inner aspiration-capacity.
```It is our inner attitude
That is of supreme importanceTo how we act and react outwardly.
```Aspiration and dedication go together.
To be precise,The inner life of aspiration
Leads and guidesThe outer life of dedication.
```If I am not guided by inner strength
And good will,Then I will be nowhere
In the outer life. ```Always I transcend and transcend.
How?Just by competing only with myself.
```In this world we are truly happy
Only when we make progress,Which gives us true satisfaction.
```If we are satisfied with what we have
And do not want to go forward,Then we will never have
Abiding happiness. ```Competition with others
May bring to the foreRivalry and destruction.
```Competition with oneself
Purifies the inner existenceIn order to improve
In the outer life. ```Self-transcendence depends
On inner purity, love, vastness,Oneness and universal good will.
```Why do we play sports?
To develop fellow feeling;To serve humanity.
```Why do we watch sports?

```As time advances,
We must defy the attackOf self-doubt, frustration
And failure. ```As time advances,
Willingness and eagernessMust remain
Our lifelong friends. ```Wisdom-light tells us
That we do not belongTo fleeting time.
We belong to Time eternal. ```We must run along Eternity’s Road,
Challenging the giant prideOf self-doubt.

Smilingly and proudlyChallenge the pride
Of impossibility. ```This world has everything
Save and except one thing,Peace,
And this peace has to blossomFrom within.

Then only can I beOf help to others.
```Not by talking, but by praying
And becoming something good,Can we offer peace to the world.
```Soulful music does not stimulate
Our vital,But increases our inner hunger,
Which is love of God. ```One peaceful moment
Can give us indomitable strengthIn our outer activities.
```In our inner life
If we have the confidence-strengthOf an elephant,
Then in our outer lifeWe can have peace.
```We are bound to be successful
When we face the outer lifeWith our inner meditation-light.
```Each religion
Is a different branchOf the same life-tree.
```My prayer and meditation
Have made me realiseThat love of God
Is the only religion. ```If we truly love God,
We will cherish all religionsIn the depth of our heart.
```If we do not love God,
There may be no endTo our quarrelling and fighting
With all religions. ```The world is indeed one family —
Sisters and brothersWith the same Father:
God. ```The world is indeed one family —
Different names and faces,But all are children of God.
```From country to country we go
To feel our onenessWith all God’s children.
```From country to country we go
To offer our brothers and sistersOur love and feeling of oneness.
```After many, many years or centuries,
Humanity will come to realiseThat without light
There can be no true satisfaction. ```How long can the world deny the light?
The day will come when the worldWill be sick of its darkness.
```Those who believe in God
Have alreadySeen the light.
```There is no end
To the amount of light we can have:More light, abundant light, infinite light.
```If we criticise those living in darkness,
Their anger will definitely delayOur own progress.
```If you offer others concern
And compassion,Their good will can only expedite
Our own progress. ```The highest philosophy
Is the philosophyOf oneness.
```We fight against the world
Precisely becauseWe do not have an iota of peace
Inside our own hearts. ```We fight against the world
Precisely because inwardlyWe feel we are weak.
```If we feel inwardly strong,
We will have no need or desireTo speak ill of others.
```If we have peace inside our hearts,
Then there will be nobodyWhom we shall not love.

Is, indeed,The possessor of abundance.

That can feed my determinationTo please the Supreme
In His own Way. ```Every morning
My mind convinces me,“It is too early,
Too early to pray to God.” ```The next moment
My mind laughs at me,“You fool, now it is too late,
Too late to meditate on God.” ```When we do not obey God,
We must pray to HimTo prepare us
To listen to Him next time. ```I do not want to conquer
Any other worldSave my own inner world.
```When I dive deep within,
I can leave my heart’s inner doorAlways open.
```Forgiveness-power
God’s Compassion-Light hasAnd always is.
```May my morning begin
With the breath of kindnessAnd sweetness.
```Every day
We must clearOur jungle-mind.
```We must not ply our life-boat
Between our heart’s aspiration-shoreAnd our mind’s desire-shore.
```May my heart-cries
Bring to the foreMy divinity within.
```I want nothing and I need nothing
When my Lord Beloved SupremeBecomes the mainspring
Of my aspiration-life. ```My inner faith is an invisible chain
That binds meTo Infinity’s Delight.
```Each new child
Is a new promise of GodTo Mother Earth.
```Nothing can be as rich
And powerfulAs the silence of the heart.
```Purity produces
A large supply of oxygenFor the temporarily sick
God-lovers. ```Every day
Keep your heart cryingSo that your mounting
Aspiration-flamesWill never be in danger.
```My mind-teacher
Teaches meWhat I do not actually know.
```My heart-teacher
Teaches meWhat I once upon a time knew.
```My mind tells me
That I have plenty of timeTo please God.
My heart tells me,“No, no, no!”
```Indeed, there are difficulties in life,
But God tells usThat each and every difficulty
Can be surmounted. ```May my heart’s surrender-breath
Be absolutely loyalTo the dust of my Lord’s Will.
```God’s Bliss every day
Feeds the tearsOf my heart.
```All I want
Is not an escape from ignorance,But a complete victory over ignorance.
```If there is true love,
Then the question of superiorityDoes not arise.
```Self-effacement
Is blissful and peacefulBeyond measure.
```God lovingly divides Himself
So that each human beingCan have enough of Him.
```My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacityTo pray to You
For the fastest recoveryFrom insecurity-attacks.
```A singer of the heart
Is a teacherOf the inner awakening.
```God wants me to be
The life-breathOf His all-illumining Height.
```My heart-preparation
Always leads meTo my life-fulfilment.
```When we pray,
The answers to our prayersChange our darkness into light.
```God is my good Friend.
God the CompassionIs my better Friend.
God the ForgivenessIs by far my best Friend.
```A true friend
Is a special Blessing-LightFrom the omniscient, omnipresent
And omnipotent God. ```A new friend
Is a newGod-Oneness-Embrace.
```An old friend
Is Eternity, InfinityAnd Immortality’s
Confidence-Assurance-Delight. ```Friendship
Is a challengeAgainst ignorance-warship.
```Friendship means
God’s blessingfulAnd cheerful Invitation
For His sweet childrenTo play inside
His Satisfaction-Heart-Garden. ```My friend,
Do you knowThat God has given you
Your two beautiful eyesTo make me and keep me
Heavenly happy? ```My friend,
Do you knowThat God has given you
Your pure heartTo make me and keep me
Always perfect? ```Friendship means
The perfectionOf a mutual faith-invention.
```One good friend
And I need no moreTo arrive together
At our destination:The Golden Shore.
```My friend,
My oneness-heart friend,I shall never question you.
I shall only love youInwardly, outwardly
And sleeplessly. ```Friendship means
Today’s God-oneness-vision.Friendship means
Tomorrow’s God-fulness-victory. ```My friend secretly tells me
Not to worry.He also tells me something else,
Which I must tell you secretly:He will gladly cover up
All my Himalayan blunders. ```Because of human friendship,
This world of oursIs still exceedingly beautiful.
```Because of divine friendship,
This world of oursIs unimaginably fruitful.
```Friendship
Does breathe in this world.Therefore,
God has absolutely no intentionOf withdrawing.
```My human friend says to me:
“Give me your heart;I shall give you my life,
My entire life.” ```My divine friend says to me:
“I am all ready to give to youMy inner world of God-cries
AndMy outer world of God-Smiles
Happily and unconditionally.Delay not!
Take me, I am all yours.” ```My enemy says to me:
“Look what you are doing!You are destroying the whole world.”
```My friend says to me:
“I am so proud of you.You are selflessly and sleeplessly
Offering yourselfFor the betterment of the world.”
```When I see a friend of mine,
Not only do I see divinityAround his entire being,
But I also feel my own divinityUnmistakably coming to the fore.
```If you are my true friend,
Then I deserve at leastRightful approval
For what I say, do and become. ```What is friendship?
Friendship is the life-beautyOf interdependence.
Friendship is the heart-fragranceOf interdependence.
Friendship is the soul-immortalityOf interdependence.
```Human friendship
Is my outerSupport-success.
```Divine friendship
Is my innerTransport-import-progress.
```The space between two friends
Is covered byGratitude-heart-blossoms.
```My friend
Is myDefeat-concealment-hush.
```What I call
My friendship-expression,God calls
His Heaven-expansion. ```In the oneness-heart
There is abiding peace.With our oneness-heart
We are all trying to createA peaceful world-family.
```Bring your heart’s inner happiness
Into your mind.In the twinkling of an eye
You will be inundatedWith inspiration.
```Not only your prayer
But the joint prayerOf humanity
Is helping humanity’s progressConsiderably.
```I am not the doer
But an instrument.I am trying every day,
Every hour, every minuteTo become a better instrument
Of God’s Will. ```When each human being becomes
A choice instrument of God,Then a world-oneness-home
Will not and cannot remainA far cry.
```I give full credit to God’s Grace.
Out of His infinite CompassionAnd Bounty,
God the OmnipotentActs in and through me
In the twinkling of an eye. ```Let us not stop.
Let us continue and continue.If we have an iota of peace,
Then let us try to have more peace,Abundant peace, boundless peace.
This is our way of transcendingAnd becoming,
Becoming and transcending. ```At every moment I love God
Without expecting anything from Him;I devote myself to His Will
Consciously and soulfully;I surrender my earth-bound life
To His Heaven-free Consciousness. ```While offering to our Lord Supreme
What we have and what we are,We receive from Him infinite Joy,
Infinite Love, infinite CompassionAnd infinite Fulfilment.
```A day will come
When this world of oursWill be liberated
From misunderstanding,Limitations and weaknesses.
It will be a happy, illuminingAnd fulfilling oneness-family.
```On the strength of our prayer
And meditation,We can come out of
Our mental prisonAnd fly in the sky
Of Infinity. ```God is all Compassion.
His Justice itself is an actOf Compassion,
To perfect our human natureAnd to expedite our spiritual journey.
```We will never limit ourselves
If we can feelThat there is Somebody deep within us
To inspire us, to guide us,To mould us, to shape us
And to take usTo an ever-transcending reality.
```We think of ourselves
As ignorance incarnate,But God thinks of us
As another GodWho is blossoming
And illumining and fulfillingHis cosmic Vision.
```God will not be satisfied
With individual successOr progress.
He wants His entire creationTo be absolutely perfect.
It is just a matter of time. ```There shall come a time
When each individualWill pray and meditate soulfully
And unconditionallyTo become God’s choice instrument,
For that is the WillOf the Absolute Supreme.
```If you can create harmony
In your own life,This harmony will enter
Into the vast world. ```At your journey’s start,
Feel that your mind is pure,Your heart is receptive
And your life is all ready to surrenderTo God’s Will.
```Once we have peace,
We feel thatWe have everything
AndWe have become everything.
```Meditation is everybody’s birthright.
In meditationWe establish our oneness
With the entire world,And our whole being is inundated
With peace. ```In my case,
It is not a matter of decision;It is a matter of obedience.
I simply listen to the DictatesOf my Inner Pilot.
```Whatever you are doing,
If you can feel onenessWith other human beings,
With the world,Then you will be successful
Far beyond your own imagination. ```Only by our positive thinking,
By our bringing the positive qualitiesOf others to the fore,
Will this world be ableTo make progress.
```In the long run
It is the lovers of mankind,Not the haters of mankind,
Who will be the real winners. ```Look only at the bright side.
The bright side meansTo have faith in ourselves and in others
And to feel oneness, oneness, oneness. ```We are all leaves, flowers and fruits
On the different religion-branchesOf the birthless and deathless life-tree.
```The soul is happier
When the body is stronger.The soul will be happier
Than the happiestIf inner aspiration is added
To outer strength. ```Everything we can get
From our aspirationInside the heart of Nature,
Mother Earth. ```The Supreme sheds ceaseless Tears
When His spiritual childrenAre complete failures.
```Alas,
The modern day machine-worldHas destroyed
The simplicity, sincerity,Purity and spontaneity
Of the golden days of yore. ```If we are in a good consciousness,
The soul watches us.If we are not in a good consciousness,
The soul does other thingsWhich are infinitely more important.
```Just silence the mind.
Lo!Cosmic energy enters
Into our entire being,And tremendous energy
Flows in and through us. ```When the inner life
Comes to the fore,It accepts, assimilates
And transformsIn order to make us perfect.
```Our prayer and meditation
Determine beforehandWhat is needed.
Then they bring to usThe things that are essential.
```Only by serving the Supreme
Do we participateIn His divine manifestation.
```God gave us the body-temple.
Now we have to be strong and pureIn every way
To prepare the heart-shrineFor the inner Spirit.
```The outer running inspires us
To dive deep within.The inner running inspires us
To keep the body-templeIn perfect condition
For our inner and outer satisfaction. ```What I give,
I try to embodyIn my life.
```With our dedicated service
We bring forwardOthers’ divine qualities,
Which are of paramount importanceFor us to lift up the world
Together. ```Misunderstanding reigns supreme
In this world.God alone can judge
Whether our motives are sincereAnd genuine.
```Try to listen
To the dictates of your heart,And try to establish
Your inseparable onenessWith the rest of the world.
```Most often we abide
By the dictates of the mind.But if we pray and meditate
Regularly, soulfullyAnd devotedly,
We listen to the dictatesOf our heart.
```This world belongs
To God the Creator.At the same time
God the Creator has becomeGod the creation.
```This is my only prayer:
To be a conscious, devoted,Cheerful and, finally, unconditional
Instrument of God. ```I prayed to God to make me
A learned man.God said to me,
“You fool,I do not want you to be
A learned man.I want you to be
A wisdom-heart.” ```A good citizen of the world
IsA world-enlightenment-inspiration.
```My Lord Supreme,
Out of Your infinite Bounty,You have given my soul
The capacityTo be in a self-absorbing trance,
To enjoyYour Immortality’s infinite Compassion.
```If you hurl division-arrows
At God,He will definitely give you a zero,
And that zeroWill be your worst punishment.
```God has not made anybody
Indispensable.But out of His infinite Bounty,
He gives us opportunitiesTo become good citizens
Of the world,To become His divine,
Supreme instruments. ```My Lord Supreme,
I do not want greatness.I do not want even goodness.
I want only to beA speck of humility-dust
To remind meOf my sleepless servitude.
```My Lord Supreme,
What is the differenceBetween faith and love?
“My child, there is no differenceBetween faith and love.
Faith is the heart of love,And
Love is the breath of faith.” ```If we obey God,
We play a most significant role.At that time His infinite Compassion
Makes us feelThat we are indispensable.
```I get joy
And satisfactionFrom trying!
```If something is
More than real,More than divine,
More than perfect,Then it is
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
May my life-boat every day plyBetween
My singleness-mind-shoreAnd
My oneness-heart-shore. ```God’s greatest and highest Vision:
The complete transformationOf man’s nature.
```At long last
I am able to yoke my mindTo my Lord’s Compassion-Will.
```My Lord,
How I wish You to manageEach and every department
Of my present and future life-store! ```To march with God
Is definitely good.To march for God
Is infinitely better. ```If you are helping others,
You are definitely servingThe Source.
Your devoted oneness-feelingIs entering into the highest Absolute.
```A divine thought is indeed
A specially divine linkBetween
Man’s aspiration-heartAnd
God’s Compassion-Eye. ```My heart’s gratitude-tears
Show me the shortest wayTo God’s Golden Shore.
```Each desire,
No matter how insignificant,Is an aspiration-failure.
```Desiring is
A thinking and sinking processOf life.
```Aspiring is
A climbing and smiling processOf life.
```A crying heart
Is the first stepTowards God-realisation.
```A surrendering life
Is the last stepTowards God-realisation.
```The real meaning of crucifixion is
Humanity’s ignoranceExposed.
```God is enamoured
Of my heart’sGratitude-flood.
```While sleeping,
I love my Lord’sHeaven-Eye.
```While awake,
I love my Lord’sHaven-Feet.
```Unhappiness is
The mind’s denseConfusion-life.
```Happiness is
The heart’s great contributionTo life.
```I do not want to have any day
In my lifeWith even a single breath
Of God-doubt. ```The mind-written books
Are emptyOf God-Love.
```Ego says
To confusion:“I have what I wanted.”
```Confusion says
To ego:“I am what I needed.”
```A desire-mind
Is indeedA homeless life.
```An unhappy mind
Receives nothingFrom Above.
```A happy face
Receives somethingFrom Above.
```A happy heart
Receives everythingFrom Above.
```The human in us
Tries to hideOur weaknesses.
```The divine in us
Tries to hideOur lofty achievements.
```The Supreme in us
Neither hidesHis Eternity and Infinity from us,
Nor revealsHis Infinity and Eternity to us,
For He wants to remain both unknownAnd unknowable.
```If you are a secret choice of God,
Then God will bless youWith His own sacred Voice.
```When the mind is wild,
The heart does not have to be mild;The heart has to be indomitable.
```When I am in my mind,
I loveDire contradictions.
```When I am in my heart,
I loveSurest convictions.
```A ruthless mind
IsA homeless creation.
```A heart of devotion
Is a matchless treasureOf God.
```No seeker can reach
His ultimate DestinationIn one incarnation.
```At every moment
I prayerfully harvestMy Master’s
Powerful commands. ```To know God’s Will
In all its totalityIs indispensable
For any God-seeker. ```To a sincere seeker,
Insincerity is an open floodgateOf anxiety.
```God believes in leading
And guiding usAnd not in chastising us.
```Either in the desire-life
Or in the aspiration-life,Depression-torture
Is shockingly unbearable. ```God says to my heart,
“Give Me a prayerful tear.I shall give you what I have
In measureless measure.” ```God says to my mind,
“Give Me a soulful smile.I shall give you
What I eternally am.” ```Although life is transitory,
God has given us the capacityTo leave behind
Our immortal achievementsOn earth.
```Rest assured,
God has not finishedWith even one single creation
Of His. ```The heart-eye
Always looks forDivinity’s blossoms
Everywhere. ```Like my heart,
May my mind also useThe God-eagerness-express train.
```Surrender
Does not renounce anything.It only announces
God’s Victory all-where. ```God-disobedience
Is the worst possibleSoul-torture.
```God-obedience
Is soul-delightPar excellence.
```O my heart, like my soul,
Can you not every dayWish every citizen of the world
Peace? ```A self-giving heart
Gives abundant joyTo God’s Heart
At every moment. ```God sings and dances
In myGod-eagerness-heart-garden.
```I must not give up,
I must not.As God is real,
Even so,My success is certain.
```My Lord Supreme,
When You reprimand me,I immediately feel
Nothing but Your SweetnessAnd Intimacy.
```I do hope that one day
My body, my vitalAnd my mind
May be worthyOf my Lord’s scolding.
```Precious beyond measure
Are my thoughtsWhen they come down
From the highest Heaven. ```My morning begins
And my evening beginsWith my heart’s
God-gratitude-tears. ```When I read spiritual books,
I feed my human mindVoraciously.
```When I pray and meditate,
God feeds my heart and lifeSumptuously.
```May my love of divinity
Take away once and for allThe breath of my world-criticism.
```May my inner pilgrimage start
With a sweet SmileFrom my Beloved Supreme.
```The difference between
The human in meAnd the divine in me
Is this:The human in me wants
To prove to the worldThat it is self-sufficient.
The divine in me wantsTo prove to the world
That it is sleeplesslyAnd breathlessly God-dependent.
```May my meditation-silence
ServeThe world-transformation-vision
At every moment. ```God-unwilling ears
Have coveredThe length and breadth
Of the world. ```I came into the world
To satisfyMy Lord’s Heart
And not my head. ```A sleepless surrender-life
Is a short cutTo God-realisation-destination.
```May my gratitude-heart-kite
Fly to the FeetOf my Lord Supreme.
```No matter what I do,
I am sure my MasterWill never withdraw
From my life-breath. ```A fleeting smile of my Master
IsAn abiding memory for me.
```In the inner world,
The hearts of the disciplesAre made of
The Master’s affection. ```In the outer world,
The lives of the disciplesAre made of
The Master’s concern. ```God wants to hear from me
Only one thing:I no longer need the satisfaction
Of ignorance-night. ```My Lord,
Please do not thinkThat You are obliged to appear
Before meEach time I offer You
My devotion-tears. ```My Lord,
May Your divine CommandsRule every detail
Of my life. ```Where do the tears
Of my outer life go?They go and take shelter
At my Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```Alas, why do we still
Allow ignoranceTo enjoy its full residence
In our aspiration-life? ```Each seeker can live
In the havenOf Heaven-ecstasy.
```Only a devotion-heart
Is thrilledWhen it catches a glimpse
Of the Master’s eye. ```Alas, my mind’s indifference
To GodAnd my heart’s closeness
To GodAre poles apart.
```I must not approach my Lord Supreme
Either with my heart’s reserveOr with my mind’s caution.
```May my God-obedience
Be alwaysSoulful and cheerful.
```My heart’s smile-blossoms
HealMy Lord’s aching Heart.
```I am so fortunate
That I am allowed to worshipThe sacred dust of my Lord’s Feet
At any moment I want to. ```May my God-satisfaction-thirst
Be sincere, pureAnd unquenchable.
```There has never been a time
When there was no peace-shortageIn the world.
```My constant surrender
To God’s WillIs by far the best
Of all my dreams. ```Eagerness
In our God-obedience-heartIs extremely precious and valuable.
```God proudly greets
My gratitude-heart-tears. ```No matter where you are,
Always keep your heart’s door openTo your Lord Beloved Supreme.
```Open your heart’s door.
Whatever you need,You will immediately receive
From God. ```Open your heart’s door.
Lo, love, devotion and onenessAre already there.
```Open your heart’s door.
Lo, you will find only you and GodInside your heart’s room.
```Once your heart’s door is open,
Surrender-plant and gratitude-plantWill grow and glow.
```The philosophy of love and oneness
Is not only God’s philosophy,But the philosophy of all
Aspiration-hearts. ```The philosophy of love and oneness
Is the philosophy of all whoSleeplessly love God
AndCheerfully serve God.
```Those who lead a prayerful life
Receive unmistakablyVery special Love from God.
```Those who lead a prayerful life
Are undoubtedlyInspiring citizens of the world.
```Those who love God
And feel oneness with His creationDefinitely belong
To His inner circle. ```Only if we feel our love
And oneness with one anotherShall our Pilot Supreme
Cherish our hearts. ```If there is no love or oneness,
God is bound to remainUnfulfilled on earth.
```Only when God showers upon us
His infinite CompassionUnconditionally
Is our progress faster than the fastest. ```Only when we draw upon
Our inner strengthCan we make tremendous and real
Outer progress. ```When we pray,
We ask God to take usTo the highest Height.
```When we pray,
God teaches usHow to climb up
The God-Tree. ```When we pray,
We beg God to come downAnd give us
His inner Treasures. ```When we meditate,
God teaches usHow to safely come down
The God-TreeWith delicious joy-fruits.
```When we meditate,
We readily share our joy-fruitsWith humanity.
```To become good citizens
Of the world,We have to love the divine
In humanity. ```Let us only care about loving God
And not worry aboutWhich religion is the best.
```We have to allow the inner world —
The world that wants to supply usWith light, joy, peace and oneness —
To come to the fore. ```If I truly love God,
I go beyond the boundariesOf religion
And feel onenessWith all God’s children.
```When we talk about peace,
Often we are only jugglingWith the word ‘peace’.
```Why is there no peace in the world?
Alas, everybody wants peaceIn his own way:
A very peculiar way. ```Many feel that if they are the lords
And others are their slaves,Then only can there be peace.
```Many want peace,
Provided they are allowed to standIn front of others.
```Many do not want to have peace
By walking alongside others.They always want to be
One step ahead. ```We can never
Find peaceBy lording it over others.
```Only when everybody
Is on the same footingWill there be peace.
```Real peace
Lies inInseparable oneness.
```If you are somewhere,
I am also there with youLovingly and self-givingly.
Indeed, this is true peace. ```If the world is going to change,
First we will have to changeIn our hearts.
```Prayer and meditation
Come from the heart,Not from the mind.
```The mind cannot give us peace.
It has to get peaceFrom the heart first.
```The soul has infinite peace.
Right now the heartHas only limited peace.
```If we pray and meditate,
Our heart will be in tune with GodAnd get peace in infinite measure.
```The heart is ready and eager
To give peace to the mind,But the mind is not receiving.
```The mind uses the word ‘peace’
But does not feelThe real necessity
Of having peace. ```Those who live in the heart
Do feelThe real peace-necessity.
```Through prayer and meditation
We expand our heartAnd bring peace
To the mind. ```All those who pray and meditate
Are helping othersWho sincerely want peace in the world.
```We cannot say that tomorrow
The whole worldWill be inundated with peace,
But we must continue sowing the seeds. ```Our prayers and meditations
Are like seeds.One day they will grow into tiny plants
And finallyInto giant banyan peace-trees.
```A man of prayer
Composes musicWith his soulful heart.
```A man of prayer
Conveys spiritual inspirationTo the world at large
Through his music. ```One thing
Is to see the highest.Another thing
Is to be in the highestAnd remain in the highest.
```One thing
Is to see mankind’s necessity.Another thing
Is to be of true help. ```When God manifests Himself
Through Compassion-Humour,It is so charming and thrilling.
```Even the very limited development
Of the aspirantGoes fast, faster, fastest
When Grace descends from Above. ```Alas, the intellectual mind
Does not want to takeEven one step towards spirituality.
```A mind with even a little illumination
Feels the supreme necessityOf world-union
And world-peace. ```The earth-bound mind
Does not want to see the lightOr go one step forward.
```When the mind is not fossilized,
The soul can make very fast progressIn and through the mind.
```Descent of consciousness
Is likeA dead existence.
```You are a fool if you think
Material success and spiritual progressAre of equal importance.
```Spiritual seekers will bring to the fore
Material successOnly if it is founded upon spirituality.
```Spiritual progress expands:
From one drop to the infinite Ocean,From an iota of light to infinite Light.
```Material success
Without spiritualityOnly takes us away
From others. ```Spiritual progress
Unites usWith the rest of the world.
```Material success
May separate usFrom the rest of the world.
```Spiritual progress does not exclude
Material success,But spirituality must always come first.
```If I make a comparison,
Spirituality is a vast ocean;My aspiration is a tiny drop.
```Manifestation brings satisfaction
When it comes fromSpiritual awakening.
```Spirituality has to be the root of life,
With inspiration and aspirationFirst and foremost.
```In the spiritual life
There is no rest.Either we have to go forward
Or our nature will take us backward! ```Progress does not depend on
What you outwardly doFor God,
But on what you inwardly becomeFor God.
```If you try to meditate on God
Without the spiritual breathInside you,
You will be totally lost. ```If you try to manifest God
Without the inner purityOf divinity,
You will be totally lost. ```Do not serve God
Even unconsciouslyWith your self-importance.
```With your inner breath
Serve and please GodIn His own Way.
```Pleasure
Sooner or laterWill meet with destruction.
```Joy
Spontaneously blossomsAnd lasts and lasts.
```Instead of enjoying ignorance-sleep,
Pray and meditateTo bring down divine Light
To solve all your earthly problems. ```The joy you receive
From your early morning meditationCan accompany you the whole day.
```The pleasure you get
From ignorance-sleepDisappears
The moment you enter intoDaily activities.
```In the morning if you do not receive
Divine Love and Light from God,You can be of no real help
To the world. ```The moment you wallow
In the pleasures of ignorance,Destruction is imminent.
```In spirituality we go beyond religion.
Real spiritualityIs the vastness of oneness.
```When the religion-bird
Flies in the spirituality-sky,It far transcends religion-limitations.
```Narrow-mindedness
Wants to see the truth-lakeIn its own way.
```New awareness and new awakening
Aspire to see the truth-oceanIn God’s own Way.
```From country to country I must roam
To offer my loveAnd feel my oneness
With all God’s children. ```Let my philosophy be love,
Good wishesAnd brotherhood.
```Those who love darkness
Will eventually be foundIn the land of nowhere.
```Those who negate God’s existence
Will one day realiseThere is no satisfaction
In the absence of light. ```God-lovers already have some light.
But they are trying to have more light,Infinite Light.
```Because we do not have peace
Inside our hearts,We love to exercise
Our supremacy. ```Because we feel inwardly weak,
We cover up our weaknessesBy showing
Our aggression-strength. ```If there is peace,
ThenThere is bound to be love.
```When my heart is pure,
I see myself within the orbitOf my Lord’s celestial Will.
```My Beloved Lord,
Let us simultaneously broadcastThat You chose me
And I chose You. ```My Lord Supreme,
YesterdayI was Your Compassion-bud.
TodayI am Your Perfection-flower.
TomorrowI shall be Your Satisfaction-fruit.
```You do not have to pray
To all the gods, goddesses, angelsAnd saints,
As long as you pray toThe Highest Absolute.
```If you pray to the Supreme,
If you go to the root,You will find all the deities
And saints there. ```The more you consciously value
God the creation,The sooner God the Creator
Will give youHis Heart, His All.
```Each intense, sincere
And soulful prayer-flameImmediately reaches
The Highest. ```If our prayer-flame is not intense,
Doubt-fear-anxiety-storm destroys itLong before it reaches the Highest.
```When I sincerely pray and meditate,
God bringsThe great temple-consciousness
To my tiny heart-home. ```Your aspiration-power
Will bring youAn entirely new
And brightly shiningLife-mirror.
