Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 16

15001

```

My Lord,

Do show me

The secret and sacred way

To Your Heart-Door. ```

15002

```

My Lord,

You are Your Kindness

And I am my eagerness.

Lo, both of us now are together

Once again.

```

15003

```

I am determined to fly

To the zenith heights

Of my love, devotion

And surrender. ```

15004

```

When I am my outstretched arms,

God opens His Heart-Door

Immediately.

```

15005

```

When I surrender my life

To God completely,

I enjoy the exquisite fragrance

Of my lotus-heart. ```

15006

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Asks our aspiration-heart

To align itself

With the beautiful angels. ```

15007

```

My satisfaction-heart

Is the primary source

Of God’s Delight.

```

15008

```

When I adore my God sincerely,

I give Him

A little peace-enjoyment.

```

15009

```

True happiness is

In preparing selflessness

And

In destroying selfishness. ```

15010

```

The aspiration-cries

Of my heart

Are far beyond

My mind’s small compass. ```

15011

```

Alas, I have learned

Many things in life

Save and except pleasing God

At all times in His own Way. ```

15012

```

An impurity-mind

Atrophies the God-aspiration-

Dedication-manifestation-muscles.

```

15013

```

God tells me that

If I really need peace of mind

And do not just want it,

Then He will without fail

Give it to me.

```

15014

```

God is absolutely

The best supporter

And admirer

Of my eagerness-heart. ```

15015

```

No matter what

The consequences will be,

I shall no longer surrender

To dauntless ignorance-night. ```

15016

```

Do you really need God?

Then claim Him

Here and now.

```

15017

```

He who hesitates to sound

God’s Victory-Trumpet

Will definitely be

A total failure. ```

15018

```

My mind,

You can do so many things.

Can you not add one thing more?

Just wish everyone happiness. ```

15019

```

What you need is patience,

What you need is perseverance

To satisfy God

In every human being. ```

15020

```

My Lord Supreme,

If You really love me,

Then do scold me frequently

For my perfection. ```

15021

```

To solve all our life’s problems

There is only one way:

God-satisfaction in God’s own Way.

```

15022

```

May my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Together travel

The whole length of Eternity’s Road. ```

15023

```

No reasoning mind has ever reached

Or will ever reach

The Lord’s Feet.

```

15024

```

Everything needs

A special preparation.

But God-satisfaction

Needs no such preparation. ```

15025

```

God loves me.

My heart tells me that

This is more than sufficient.

```

15026

```

When I am in my mind,

I become

The world-greed-possession.

```

15027

```

When I am in my heart,

I become

The God-need-aspiration.

```

15028

```

O my mind,

Be courageous!

You certainly can follow

God’s Will. ```

15029

```

May my mind’s purity

And my heart’s sincerity

Take me once more

To the Compassion-flooded Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

15030

```

May my God-crying heart

Every day

Increase its hunger.

```

15031

```

Not frequently but ceaselessly

I must run

To touch the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

15032

```

To make our aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Richer and sweeter,

What we need is a sweet Smile

From our Lord Supreme.

```

15033

```

Surrender means the immediacy

Of the present moment

And not the remoteness

Of tomorrow. ```

15034

```

Each God-loving breath

Rapidly increases

Our heart’s delight.

```

15035

```

Each time my soul tries

To feed my mind

With its illumining thoughts,

My mind rejects them summarily. ```

15036

```

Whatever we call desire

At this moment,

Next moment we must call

That very thing despair. ```

15037

```

O my pride-mind,

When are you going to stop

Blowing your trumpet?

```

15038

```

If anybody thinks

That he has a monopoly

On God,

He is indeed a rank fool. ```

15039

```

The mind’s supremacy-hunger

Is bound to harvest

Dire disappointments.

```

15040

```

O my mind,

Are you not ashamed of being late

For all your God-appointments?

```

15041

```

No matter how hard I try,

Alas, my old insecurity-jealousy-life

Still haunts me.

```

15042

```

Aspire, my mind, aspire.

You do not have to drown

In loneliness-tears.

```

15043

```

May each human life

Be the embodiment

Of God-Satisfaction.

```

15044

```

I want to discover the road

With a complete

God-Satisfaction-destination.

```

15045

```

My dedication-life-river

Does not allow anything

To remain stagnant

In my life. ```

15046

```

I have transformed

My attachment-failure-mind

Into my detachment-success-heart.

```

15047

```

I have many homes,

But by far the best

Is my God’s

Compassion-Protection-Eye. ```

15048

```

All our differences disappear

In the twinkling of an eye

When we live in the heart

And for God alone. ```

15049

```

My Lord Supreme asks me

To celebrate

My freedom of choice

At every hour, every minute

And every second.

```

15050

```

There was a time when I prayed

For God to open my heart

To see Him and know Him,

But now I pray to God

Only to please Him

Sleeplessly and breathlessly. ```

15051

```

May my God-longing

Hasten

My Heavenward journey.

```

15052

```

I have two strings

To my God-manifestation-bow:

Soulfulness and eagerness.

```

15053

```

No good can forever remain

Unattainable

If aspiration-flames

Are constantly climbing. ```

15054

```

To please God in His own Way,

Every day I must serve Him

In my fellow seekers.

```

15055

```

O my heart,

Do not give way to despair.

It does not become you.

```

15056

```

The God-realisation-search

Is at once

Birthless and deathless.

```

15057

```

If you do not want to lose

The blissful touch

Of your Master’s feet,

Then grow your life

In the Breath of silence.

```

15058

```

My Supreme,

I beg of You

To show me the way

To immediately dry

All Your Tears.

```

15059

```

My Lord,

Do not cry any more.

Allow me to console You

With my gratitude-heart-smiles. ```

15060

```

I must not interfere

With God’s Will.

He has every right to have

His own Time. ```

15061

```

The difference between my prayer

And my meditation is this:

Unlike my meditation,

My prayer expects

God-attention.

```

15062

```

An unconditional surrender

Is a must

For every God-lover.

```

15063

```

My life solely belongs

To God-surrender-society. ```

15064

```

We do not have to greet anybody,

As long as we see God

Greeting Himself

In every human heart. ```

15065

```

A deep meditation-silence

Has a nectar-voice. ```

15066

```

God feeds our aspiration-hunger

Sumptuously

When we are all attention

To His Needs,

Inner and outer.

```

15067

```

The human in me

Is deeply attached

To God’s Heart.

```

15068

```

The divine in me

Is deeply attached

To God’s Feet.

```

15069

```

God immediately dances

When He sees me ringing

My devotion-heart-temple-bell.

```

15070

```

No more shall I permit my mind

To remain a member

Of the God-non-cooperation club.

```

15071

```

Only a God-seer-heart

Can be

A true peace-pioneer.

```

15072

```

My God-appointments

I always mark

On my gratitude-heart-calendar.

```

15073

```

My ego means

Nothing other than

Limitation-bondage.

```

15074

```

My love means

An unlimited expanse. ```

15075

```

Alas, my heart-temple is empty:

The God-Throne

Is still missing.

```

15076

```

I do not want

A dictatorship-mind. ```

15077

```

I do not want

A leadership-heart. ```

15078

```

I want only

A God-worship-life. ```

15079

```

A God-loving note

Never goes flat. ```

15080

```

My God-dreaming heart

My God-pleasing life.

```

15081

```

Out of His infinite Compassion,

My Lord Himself

Has declared His Sovereignty

Over my ignorance-life-soil. ```

15082

```

When my life is in

Lethargy-world,

It desires the easiest path.

```

15083

```

When I am in

My dynamism-vital,

I long for the road only,

No matter how long it is. ```

15084

```

The mind’s desire-world

Rightly deserves

Resistance.

```

15085

```

A sincere God-acceptance

Is the burial

Of ceaseless suffering.

```

15086

```

A true God-searching mind

Can easily storm

The inner doubt-citadel.

```

15087

```

The unaspiring mind’s master

The God-unwillingness-life.

```

15088

```

My aspiration is not only electrified

But also intensified

By my Master’s severe scoldings.

```

15089

```

My heart thinks and feels

That it is its proudest privilege

To bring my God-disobedience-mind

To God. ```

15090

```

A gratitude-heart

Is the fountain

Of world-peace-prayers.

```

15091

```

May I dig deep

In my heart-awakening-soil. ```

15092

```

My soul is asking

My stupid mind

How long it is going to keep

My Lord Supreme locked out. ```

15093

```

A world-possession-life

Thrilled

My mind.

```

15094

```

A world-oneness-heart

Is thrilling

My entire earth-existence.

```

15095

```

Alas, my heart-tears

Are invisible,

Whereas God’s Smiles

Are fully visible. ```

15096

```

Silence is always

Adequate;

Words are always

Too much. ```

15097

```

You are a fool if you think

That you can express

Your love to humanity

From Above. ```

15098

```

Nobody forced us

To be locked up

Inside ourselves.

It is our own

Self-styled choice.

```

15099

```

O my Lord,

My hope I do not want

With me

But always in Thee. ```

15100

```

It is an impossible task

To arrive at

The expectation-goal.

```

15101

```

God is beautiful everywhere,

But He is most beautiful

Inside an aspiring heart.

```

15102

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To burst with eagerness

At every moment

To please You.

```

15103

```

God whispers to me:

“My child, do anything

You want to.

My Love for you is infinite

And ever-increasing.”

```

15104

```

My Lord, up until now

I have shocked You

With my mind’s bad qualities.

From today on

I shall surprise You

With my heart’s good qualities. ```

15105

```

I never thought

That my God-searching mind

Could be so sweet, pure

And adorable. ```

15106

```

There is only one thing

That can satisfy God,

And that is

My unconditional surrender. ```

15107

```

God touches and blesses

Every day

All my heart-dreams.

```

15108

```

Those who take the inner plunge

Will alone be able to please God

In His own Way.

```

15109

```

My mind is surprised to see

How fluently my heart

Can speak to God.

```

15110

```

To see my Lord smiling

Is the only thing

That I need in my life.

```

15111

```

Frustration will always

Loom large

Until I have established

My utter cooperation

With God’s Will.

```

15112

```

The best way to really please God

Is to offer Him

My gratitude-heart-blossom.

```

15113

```

An eager enthusiasm

Has no equal

In our aspiration-life.

```

15114

```

Finally I have come to learn

That what I need is

A God-excitement-vital,

A God-enlightenment-mind

And

A God-fulfilment-heart. ```

15115

```

We must invoke God’s Will

If we want to be

The conquerors

Of our bondage-life. ```

15116

```

God is asking

My heart’s devotedness

To smile more

And ever more. ```

15117

```

To smile at others

Is not a difficult

Or expensive thing.

Alas, yet we are always

Unwilling.

```

15118

```

Do not ask God

To show you His Face

But to bless you

With His Grace. ```

15119

```

O my Lord Absolute Supreme,

I am telling Your Will

That I am now

All eagerness-readiness. ```

15120

```

May I learn most devotedly

Every morning

The God-lessons the planet sun

Blessingfully offers me. ```

15121

```

My Lord, if You really want

My nature’s transformation,

Then do bless me every day

With Your Power-flooded

Scoldings.

```

15122

```

This life we must take

As preparation

For a higher life.

```

15123

```

My spirituality-heart

Shall always remain

The continuation

Of this moment. ```

15124

```

Mine is the surrender

That loves to stay tuned

To God’s infinite Compassion.

```

15125

```

O negative thoughts of my mind,

Either hide from me

Or I shall sink you!

```

15126

```

If he is a real Master,

Then he will always

Turn you back

To your own divinity. ```

15127

```

With our detachment-mind

We can easily become

A God-surrendered life.

```

15128

```

The real power

In any human life

Depends upon

Our God-invocation-choice. ```

15129

```

You are a fool if you think

That by keeping your mind

Separate from others,

You will feel special.

No, no!

You will feel special

Only when you become

A world-oneness-heart-singer. ```

15130

```

The human in me

Loves to feed constantly

The doubting mind.

```

15131

```

The divine in me

Loves to feed sleeplessly

My God-surrender-heart.

```

15132

```

To think of God,

To pray to God,

To meditate on God

And to surrender my life to God

Has always been

My early morning homework. ```

15133

```

My Inner Pilot always expects me

To remain fully self-disciplined

In my outer activities.

```

15134

```

The inner shrine

Is always proud of

The outer temple.

```

15135

```

May my heart-buds

Burst

Into my life-blooms.

```

15136

```

The strength

Of oneness-length

Is immeasurable.

```

15137

```

Each seeker must develop

The capacity

To consign his desire-life

To the all-devouring flames. ```

15138

```

The full expansion

Of my gratitude-heart

Is my supreme achievement

Of this moment. ```

15139

```

The fastest spiritual progress

Depends on the increase

Of my heart-intensity.

```

15140

```

My soul is proud of me

Because I am now affiliated

Only with my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

15141

```

Where there is purity,

There is inexhaustible

Energy.

```

15142

```

From everything that you say,

Everything that you do

And everything that you see

In your life,

Just ask yourself one question:

“Am I deriving any

Spiritual benefit?”

```

15143

```

We do not know

And we do not have to know

When God will come and knock

At our heart-door.

We have only to prepare ourselves

With our intense aspiration

To receive Him.

```

15144

```

The sooner you can withdraw

Your attention

From undivine, unaspiring things,

The better for you. ```

15145

```

Inside a sacred mantra-incantation

There is always

A revealing power.

```

15146

```

If your prayer is extremely pure

And extremely intense,

Then inside your prayer you will see

The result of your prayer. ```

15147

```

Your intense prayer itself

Will show you

Whether your prayer

Will be fulfilled by God

Or not.

```

15148

```

Just because the Hour has not yet come

For God to fulfil your prayer,

Do not give up praying.

Continue, continue, continue!

God’s choice Hour

Is bound to strike eventually. ```

15149

```

The divine forces

Are always watching us,

To see whether

We do good things

Or not.

```

15150

```

Inner nectar will be available

Only when

Aspiration is intense.

```

15151

```

If you sincerely cry

For humanity’s improvement,

Then your goodness

Will be manifested

As greatness.

```

15152

```

Let us try not

To conquer the world,

But with our oneness-power

Let us become

What God wants us to become.

```

15153

```

Look only straight ahead.

What more do you need,

As long as God is inside your heart

And you are inside God’s Heart? ```

15154

```

Eagerness

Is something that floods

Our entire being.

```

15155

```

Make your whole life

A garland of beauty,

A garland of purity,

A garland of joy

And

A garland of luminosity

And place it at the Feet

Of your Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

15156

```

Life should always be

With a capital “L” —

No matter whose life it is.

```

15157

```

You can be a very, very

Close disciple,

But if you disobey your Master,

You can be away

Farther than the farthest.

```

15158

```

Once you accept the spiritual life,

Your Inner Pilot takes obedience

And disobedience

Most seriously. ```

15159

```

Once serious disobedience

Takes place in a disciple,

The Supreme can easily snap

The Master’s connection

With the disciple.

```

15160

```

Go beyond what you see

On the earthly plane.

Otherwise you will be stuck

In the reality that your mind

Has created.

```

15161

```

The race is for the brave.

The race is for the swift.

If you are brave in the outer world,

You will be swift in the inner world,

And

If you are swift in the inner world,

You will be brave in the outer world.

```

15162

```

To be a Hanuman-like disciple,

Just say,

“I can do it.

Lo, I have already done it.” ```

15163

```

Who is preventing you

From marching forward?

Again, who is begging you

To march backward?

Who?

```

15164

```

Swiftness in the inner life

Comes from faith on your part

And Grace on God’s part.

```

15165

```

God is definitely eager

To see and to converse with

His true devotee.

```

15166

```

When you constantly live

Inside your heart,

Grace from Above descends

Most profusely. ```

15167

```

God will never remain indebted

To those who do something good

For Him on earth!

```

15168

```

Gratitude is something very sweet

That makes you feel

Your whole existence

Has offered something great

And precious to God.

```

15169

```

Purity

Is in oneness

With God’s Will.

```

15170

```

The happiness that you get

By pleasing yourself

In your own way

Is nothing in comparison to

The happiness that you get

By pleasing God

In His own Way.

```

15171

```

If you have no eagerness

To regain

All your divine qualities,

Then little by little

God will withdraw from you.

```

15172

```

All the divine qualities

Are present

In our oneness with God’s Will.

```

15173

```

Let us hasten the hour

When we can divinely

And proudly declare:

“Ignorance, no more!” ```

15174

```

The inner independence starts with

The feeling of interdependence

And most successfully ends with

The inner conviction

Of universal oneness.

```

15175

```

Inner oneness never ends;

It only grows and glows

And increases its territories

Divinely and perfectly. ```

15176

```

If we can create within ourselves

Sleepless cries

And boundless hunger

For our liberation from age-long

Ignorance-night,

We are bound to succeed. ```

15177

```

Open your heart’s eye,

The eye that cries and cries

Only for God’s Compassion

And God’s Satisfaction. ```

15178

```

When you think of the future,

You are placing upon

Your poor human shoulders

The weight of ten elephants. ```

15179

```

If you want to possess God,

You will inevitably become

A beggar.

```

15180

```

If you want to become

God’s prince,

Then allow Him to possess you

In His own Way. ```

15181

```

If you have genuine aspiration,

Then for you there is no such thing

As the future.

```

15182

```

If you become

What God wants you to be,

Then there is no happiness

That can ever be denied you. ```

15183

```

How can we transcend ourselves

If we do not challenge

Our capacities?

```

15184

```

God is inviting you

To sit upon His Wings

And help Him fly

To the farthest corners

Of the globe.

```

15185

```

Alas, when God looks at you,

He sees a sleeping lion

Instead of a roaring lion.

```

15186

```

Our mind can never understand

The meaning and significance

Of God-ordained responsibility.

```

15187

```

Transform your responsibilities

Into golden opportunities

So that you can run like a deer,

Faster than the fastest. ```

15188

```

A giant ignorance-opponent

Frequently comes to us

In the form of carelessness.

```

15189

```

If you want to escape

From the hard reality,

You can,

But you cannot escape

From the Universal Reality.

```

15190

```

Those who are always enthusiastic

About what the Master is doing

Are the Master’s crown jewels.

```

15191

```

Those who wallow in

Unwillingness and sloth

Shall receive

A larger than the largest zero

In the inner world.

```

15192

```

Have you forgotten

That the same God

Whom you are failing

So miserably in this world

Will examine you

In the other world? ```

15193

```

May our aspiration-bird

Ceaselessly fly

With its God-manifestation-wings.

```

15194

```

He who aspires sincerely

Will feel the bounden necessity

To manifest God.

```

15195

```

The day you lose your enthusiasm,

Eagerness and oneness

With God’s Will,

Hell will celebrate your failure. ```

15196

```

The day you manifest God’s Will

Smilingly and unconditionally,

Heaven will celebrate

Its victory in and through

Your aspiration-life.

```

15197

```

A true Master

Never creates

Carbon copies of himself.

```

15198

```

Still there is time

For you to wake up

From your inconscience-sleep.

```

15199

```

If you are unwilling

To be one with God,

Do you think He will be dying

To be one with you? ```

15200

```

Your cheerful oneness

With God’s Will

Multiplies your capacities

In boundless measure. ```

15201

```

God wanted you to run

Towards the Light

Like a deer,

But you have chosen

To crawl like a turtle.

```

15202

```

If your mind or vital

Is not allowing you

To be humble,

Then bring to the fore

Your soul’s light

To convince them

That humility

Is of paramount importance. ```

15203

```

The moment you are humble,

Your oneness-light will spread

All around.

```

15204

```

Follow the ancient disciplines

And pray and meditate

In the small hours

Of the morning. ```

15205

```

Follow the ancient disciplines

And soulfully recite

The sacred mantra-incantations.

```

15206

```

Follow the ancient disciplines

And soulfully sing

Soul-stirring invocations

To our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

15207

```

If you follow

All the ancient disciplines

Early in the morning,

Your mounting aspiration-flames

Will reach the Highest

Sooner than at once. ```

15208

```

Your devoted surrender to God’s Will

Can help you look at pain

From a different angle

And transform it into purest joy. ```

15209

```

If you have one foot

In one spiritual boat

And one foot in another,

You are bound to fall into

The ignorance-sea.

```

15210

```

An ageless river flows

Through the modern aspiration

And dedication-life.

```

15211

```

At every moment you have to know

Who is going to carry you to God

And

Who is going to take you away,

Farther than the farthest,

From God. ```

15212

```

You can be aware of

Your inner progress

By observing the happiness

Inside you. ```

15213

```

The Supreme has entrusted everyone

With the golden opportunity

To embark

On a new project. ```

15214

```

During your deep meditation,

If you receive a message from within,

Then spontaneously, sleeplessly

And with utmost humility and devotion,

Try to manifest it into reality.

```

15215

```

Once you enter into

The spiritual life,

You have to take each incident

In your life

As a God-given experience.

```

15216

```

If our Beloved Lord Supreme

Agrees to suffer with us,

Then we have to accept our fate

As it is. ```

15217

```

Divine enterprises exist on earth

To awaken and serve

The aspiring mankind

In accordance with

The Supreme’s Vision.

```

15218

```

Like a farmer,

God scatters inspiration-seeds

Here and there.

Who knows at which place

Receptivity will allow the seed

To germinate! ```

15219

```

God has chosen you

And you have chosen Him.

God the Flower has offered you

His Beauty and Fragrance.

Again, it is you who saw the Beauty

And breathed in the Fragrance. ```

15220

```

If you want to expedite

God’s Hour,

You must be more self-giving

And more willing to devote yourself

To pleasing Him in His own Way.

```

15221

```

Receptivity increases

Only in one way:

By shedding tears

Of gratitude. ```

15222

```

The more gratitude you can offer

To God,

The more you can create

Positive thoughts, positive ideas

And positive goals

For yourself. ```

15223

```

Our way is the way

Of heart-to-heart

Oneness.

```

15224

```

Let us run and run

Along Eternity’s Road

To reach the Golden Shore

Of the Beyond. ```

15225

```

Let us swim and swim

Across the ignorance-sea

To reach the Golden Shore

Of the Beyond. ```

15226

```

There is only one medicine

To get rid of anger-attack:

Forgive immediately

And forget deliberately. ```

15227

```

If you do not forget

Certain incidents in your life,

They will come to you

As a painful experience

Again and again.

```

15228

```

Spiritual Masters

Come into the world

With only one goal:

To lift up the consciousness

Of humanity.

```

15229

```

Our divine soul laughs and laughs

When it sees the yawning gulf

Between our present achievements

And our future contributions. ```

15230

```

Our philosophy is

To synthesise and harmonise

The inner life

And the outer life. ```

15231

```

If our Inner Pilot inundates us

With inspiration,

Then quality need not be sacrificed

For the sake of quantity. ```

15232

```

If you have no faith

In yourself,

Then you will have no faith

In anybody else. ```

15233

```

If we can all become

Good citizens of the world,

Then the face and fate

Of the world

Will be changed overnight.

```

15234

```

To rid yourself

Of inertia, lethargy,

Frustration and depression,

What you need is

Dynamism and speed

In your body, vital, mind

And heart.

```

15235

```

In the beginning,

God was formless.

Then He adopted Form

For His own sake.

When He became the Form,

A tiny portion of Him

Entered into each human being.

That tiny portion is the connecting link

Between the finite and the Infinite.

```

15236

```

Only when we have become

Consciously and totally one

With the Form of the Supreme

Can we go to the formless One. ```

15237

```

It is extremely difficult

To go directly to the Supreme

As disembodied Consciousness.

```

15238

```

The outer running may not make

The mind less doubtful,

But it may temporarily reduce

The mind’s capacity

To think undivine thoughts.

```

15239

```

Enthusiasm comes automatically

When you want to please somebody

Whom you love.

```

15240

```

Practice carries the message

Of oneness and self-transcendence,

Whereas

Competition often carries the message

Of division and supremacy.

```

15241

```

One-pointed concentration

Is the pathfinder

For a deeper meditative

Consciousness. ```

15242

```

When discouragement

And temporary lack of enthusiasm

Attack you,

Feel that all your problems

Are as insignificant as ants.

```

15243

```

I can be truly satisfied

Only when my Creator

Is satisfied with me.

```

15244

```

If my Creator is not satisfied

With me,

A day will come

When He will inject inspiration

And aspiration into me

So that I will become perfect. ```

15245

```

To cope with the disappointment

Of losing,

Just ask yourself whether

It is your mind or your heart

That is disappointed.

Immediately you will discover

That it is your division-mind

And not your oneness-heart. ```

15246

```

No disappointment on earth

Will dare to challenge

The flood of joy

That you receive

From your prayer-life

And meditation-heart. ```

15247

```

As there is always hunger

In every aspect of life,

Even so, there is always Somebody

To supply nourishment. ```

15248

```

If everything in life

Were easy,

Then we would be satisfied

With our self-complacency. ```

15249

```

What am I?

An indomitable spirit

Encaged in an earthly frame.

```

15250

```

Most human beings

Are apt to feel

That the inner realities

Cannot be manifested

In the outer world.

```

15251

```

If there is no poise,

There can be no successful

Outer movement,

For poise is unseen power. ```

15252

```

Give yourself,

Widen yourself,

Receive the vast world

And be received

By the vast world:

These are the messages

A divine heart gets

From the higher worlds

And offers to the outer world.

```

15253

```

The outer desire says:

“Run, reach

And then smile.”

The inner aspiration says:

“Smile and run,

Run and smile.” ```

15254

```

When you increase your capacities,

Automatically you establish

A glowing hope

And a soaring promise

For your fellow brothers and sisters

Of the world. ```

15255

```

In time,

Merciless criticism

Corrodes

The human capacities. ```

15256

```

The golden past

Was once upon a time

The distant future.

```

15257

```

By putting “if”

Between you and God,

You are ruining

All your prayers. ```

15258

```

God’s Capacity is limitless;

Again, He gets tremendous Joy

By challenging His Capacities.

```

15259

```

If our capacity surrenders

To our will-power,

Then at every moment

We can challenge impossibility. ```

15260

```

Why have you allowed

Insecurity-bee to sting

Your fresh mind

And your pure heart? ```

15261

```

There is every possibility

That a seeker can realise God

In the short span

Of one life. ```

15262

```

The Master’s scoldings

Are nothing but

His unalloyed concern

For his spiritual children. ```

15263

```

When you meditate,

You embody only good thoughts.

You will not find fault

With others;

You will not speak ill

Of them;

You will not be a hindrance

To their achievements;

You will not try

To surpass them. ```

15264

```

The physical has to aspire

In its own way

To increase its capacity.

Otherwise the physical

Will always remain lethargic.

```

15265

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme,

Do transport me to the land

Of limitless and ceaseless

Ecstasy. ```

15266

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme,

Do transport me

To the highest realms

Of the Beyond. ```

15267

```

Even when you are at

The entrance

To God’s divine Palace,

Temptation can pull you back. ```

15268

```

A spiritual Master has to make

Each individual feel

That they are his eternal friends

Of the same calibre. ```

15269

```

Until God sees you

At exactly His own standard —

Not even one iota below Him —

He will be sad. ```

15270

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme,

Please tell me point blank

What I am doing wrong.

```

15271

```

How I wish all mankind

Could avail itself

Of a spiritual elevator

And reach God

Sooner than at once.

```

15272

```

When you are of the heart,

You are aware of

Your Source.

```

15273

```

When you are in the heart,

You know that God-expansion

Is the only Reality.

```

15274

```

When you are for the heart,

You feel that God-manifestation

Is the only choice

Of your soul. ```

15275

```

Cheerfulness is a must

In guiding us towards

The Ultimate.

```

15276

```

When you feel inside

A kind of cheerful joy,

That joy is the expression

Of your heart’s gratitude. ```

15277

```

God sees in you

A cluster of good, divine

And flower-like qualities.

```

15278

```

When you work with enthusiasm,

You are bound to establish

A free access

To an unending flow of life-energy

And creative power.

```

15279

```

When we work very hard,

The idle mind, the clever vital

And the lethargic body

Always cry for sympathy. ```

15280

```

If you make your speed-flow

Very fast

And your concentration-power

Very penetrating,

Then daily you can accomplish

So many things. ```

15281

```

Fight with depression-intruder

And prove to God

That you are His hero-warrior.

```

15282

```

We are like helpless children

In the Lap of the Divine Mother.

It is Her divine Duty

To protect us

And take care of us.

```

15283

```

If we are absolutely dedicated

To the divine cause,

And if we can listen to the dictates

Of our inner being

At every moment,

Our inner being will create

Outer circumstances that will help us

In our spiritual life. ```

15284

```

In your absolutely best meditation,

Your entire being offers itself

To the Supreme —

Your soul with its illumination,

Your heart with its aspiration,

Your mind with its clarity,

Your vital with its determination,

Your body with its alertness. ```

15285

```

Unseal your vision

In order to see and feel

The Supreme’s Consciousness.

```

15286

```

The countless inner stories

Of a spiritual Master

Can never be recorded.

```

15287

```

Consciousness has no barrier.

Like a kaleidoscope,

It can bring the past

And the future

Before our vision.

```

15288

```

Imagination-bird

Is all the time knocking

At your mind-door.

```

15289

```

Do not bank upon

Your previous achievements.

God wants from you

Only newness. ```

15290

```

Justice itself

Has to be moderated

From time to time.

Otherwise there will be

No justice.

```

15291

```

Those who really want to

Will always discover new ways

To please the Supreme.

```

15292

```

The great beginning

Will be followed by

The greater continuation,

And the greater continuation

Will be followed by

The greatest transcendence. ```

15293

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Do bring down from Above

A celestial torrent of peace

Into my mind. ```

15294

```

As you make progress

In your spiritual life,

The supreme significance

Of your supreme achievements

Will slowly, steadily

And unerringly

Be revealed to you.

```

15295

```

Your inner achievements

Will increase the hunger-cries

Of earth

And the Satisfaction-Smiles

Of Heaven.

```

15296

```

Even one second of high meditation

Can help

Twenty other spiritual seekers.

```

15297

```

While you are meditating,

You spread divine waves

Of love and light.

```

15298

```

When we helplessly surrender

To ignorance,

Ignorance becomes infinitely

More powerful. ```

15299

```

First become God’s lamb —

Obedient, humble, simple,

Sincere and one with His Will.

Then God will transform you

Into His roaring lion

So that you can execute His Will. ```

15300

```

Wherever your earthly existence is,

Your soul-bird can fly and fly

With God’s most soulful

And fruitful Promise. ```

15301

```

Each truth-seeker and God-lover

Is a beautiful petal

Added to God’s Lotus-Heart.

```

15302

```

Many God-Requests we have fulfilled

Over the years,

But many more still we have to fulfil.

```

15303

```

Let us discover more ways to manifest

Our Lord Beloved Supreme

Most lovingly, devotedly

And self-givingly. ```

15304

```

To say that we have not tried at all

To serve God

Is the height of our false modesty.

```

15305

```

To say that we have tried hard

But we will try infinitely harder

To serve God

Is absolutely the right attitude. ```

15306

```

God will say you are mistaken

If you feel that you cannot go

One step higher, deeper or further.

```

15307

```

You can take infinite steps

Higher, deeper and further

To manifest God’s Light.

```

15308

```

May my consciousness fly throughout

The length and breadth of the world

In the skies of Infinity.

```

15309

```

How will the Supreme appreciate us

If our life-boat reaches His Golden Shore

Totally empty?

```

15310

```

If we go to God with an empty boat,

God will say, “Go back!

I do not need you

Since you have not brought

Any passengers.”

```

15311

```

Divine competition

Means excelling

In one’s own life.

```

15312

```

If we do not compete with others,

Lethargy may overpower us

And we may do nothing.

```

15313

```

While competing with others,

We see that our competition

Is actually with ourselves.

```

15314

```

By working self-givingly

If I make progress,

That is the progress

Of the whole world. ```

15315

```

When a new height

Has been achieved,

That is the progress

Of the whole world. ```

15316

```

“Nothing more”

Can never be the Philosophy

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

15317

```

The Philosophy

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme

Is only

“Beyond, beyond and beyond.” ```

15318

```

Each seeker has to discover deep within

What more he can do

For his Beloved Supreme.

```

15319

```

If you can be in

God’s Heart-Consciousness,

You will feel that you are lifting up

The burden of the entire world

Along with Him.

```

15320

```

Purity you want?

Just imagine breathing in the beauty,

Purity and fragrance of a flower.

```

15321

```

Impurity you want not?

Just breathe out fast, very fast,

All impurity-ignorance.

```

15322

```

If God is on our side,

Eventually we will win

The Godward race.

```

15323

```

Even today’s far-fetched dream

Can be manifested

As tomorrow’s reality.

```

15324

```

We must work hard,

Very hard,

For the fulfilment of our dream.

```

15325

```

How to control the mind?

Just live in the beauty

Of your heart-lotus.

```

15326

```

How to control the mind?

Just remain deeply absorbed

In the fragrance

Of your illumination-soul. ```

15327

```

When you appreciate the beauty

And fragrance of your own heart,

You will have no thoughts in your mind.

```

15328

```

For many centuries

We have been living

In our mind-room.

```

15329

```

Let us start living

In our newness-heart-room

And totally forget the mind-room.

```

15330

```

When we pray and meditate

Always in our heart,

We become choicest instruments

Of God. ```

15331

```

Where is our spiritual heart?

Where we get

The utmost joy and protection.

```

15332

```

Where is our spiritual heart?

Where we have the capacity

To pray to God

And meditate on God. ```

15333

```

Where is our spiritual heart?

Where we have the vision to see God,

Feel God and be blessed by God.

```

15334

```

Where is our spiritual heart?

Where we receive something profound

And something very sweet.

```

15335

```

Where is our spiritual heart?

Where we find our dearest

Reality and divinity.

```

15336

```

When I pray in my heart,

I feel my prayers

Are being answered.

```

15337

```

When I meditate in my heart,

I feel my meditation becomes

Very deep, illumining and fulfilling.

```

15338

```

The more you can see your Master

Inwardly and outwardly,

The greater will be

Your progress-speed. ```

15339

```

When you see your Master

And feel your Master,

You will do the right thing.

```

15340

```

The more you stay

In your heart-garden,

The more you will see and feel

Your Master’s

Meditative consciousness.

```

15341

```

If we enter into our mind-jungle,

We destroy the flowers

That are blossoming

In our heart-garden. ```

15342

```

God-realisation depends only

On God’s unconditional Compassion,

Affection and Blessings.

```

15343

```

Our duty is to pray to God.

Then God will definitely choose a day

To give us illumination-fruit.

```

15344

```

First climb up the divinity-tree

To enjoy the most delicious fruit:

God-realisation.

```

15345

```

Selflessness means

Giving something unconditionally

To the Supreme.

```

15346

```

I shall give the Supreme

My soul, heart, mind, vital and body

With no expectation.

```

15347

```

When we cheerfully give God a drop,

He proudly and delightedly

Gives us

His Infinity’s Ocean. ```

15348

```

I give God what I have and what I am

Because God is the most compassionate

Father and Mother.

```

15349

```

Can there be anybody greater

Or nicer than God?

He is only waiting for His choice Hour.

```

15350

```

Our expectation only delays

The arrival of Infinity, Eternity

And Immortality.

```

15351

```

If we rely on God,

Whatever we get

Will be sufficient.

```

15352

```

If we depend on God

For everything,

God gives us

Confidence-satisfaction. ```

15353

```

The confidence-satisfaction

That we get

From our reliance on God

Can never be taken away. ```

15354

```

All human beings suffer

From trust

And lack of trust.

```

15355

```

If we trust only the Supreme,

Then the Supreme

Will never fail us.

```

15356

```

If we trust only the Supreme,

Our faith in Him

Will give Him confidence in us.

```

15357

```

You are bound to trust yourself

Because there is Someone

Who loves you infinitely more

Than you can ever imagine. ```

15358

```

If you cannot trust God,

You will not be able

To trust yourself.

```

15359

```

If you love God,

He will give you the capacity

To trust Him in all your activities.

```

15360

```

The more your God-faith increases,

The stronger will be your faith

And your trust in yourself.

```

15361

```

I can do nothing without God:

This is my sincere

And humble conviction,

Based on my oneness

With God’s Will.

```

15362

```

When I do something inspiring

And illumining,

I know, I know, it is God who has done it

According to my capacity of receptivity. ```

15363

```

A peaceful world

We can create

By enlarging our heart.

```

15364

```

Peace means joy;

Joy means peace.

Peace and joy can never

Be separated. ```

15365

```

My mind is peaceful.

That means

My heart is blissful.

```

15366

```

My surrender is complete.

That means I am on my way

To a perfection-life.

```

15367

```

When do I get joy?

The moment I think of the entire world

As my own, very own.

```

15368

```

Until we can claim

The whole world as our own

With our love-power,

We will have no peace. ```

15369

```

The love that unites

Is inside

Our aspiration-heart.

```

15370

```

If we expand our heart

To embrace countless hearts,

Peace is bound to be ours.

```

15371

```

The embodiment-revelation-expansion

Of love

Is peace.

```

15372

```

When our prayer and meditation

Establish our oneness

With the entire world,

Infinity’s Peace shall be ours. ```

15373

```

I do not mind if my dream-boat

Sails through the stormy weather

Because my destination is assured.

```

15374

```

Alas, poor God becomes

The embodiment of frustration

When the world does not accept

His Light. ```

15375

```

When I pray to God,

God’s Blessings run and play

Inside my heart-garden.

```

15376

```

I cannot claim:

“I have done it.”

It is God who has done everything.

```

15377

```

We can be unlimited

Only when we clearly feel

That God is acting

In and through us. ```

15378

```

When the Grace descends,

Our life-drop becomes

An endless creative downpour.

```

15379

```

Everything that we do

Is infinitely more beautiful,

Illumining and fulfilling

If we live a self-giving life. ```

15380

```

If you are in inner or outer trouble,

Immediately cry for your dearest one:

The Supreme.

```

15381

```

With our human strength

We can achieve nothing

Really astonishing —

Nothing, nothing! ```

15382

```

When we pray and pray,

A higher power

Beckons us.

```

15383

```

God forgives.

Therefore my millions and billions

Of mistakes disappear.

```

15384

```

God forgives.

Therefore our world can never be lost

For good.

```

15385

```

When God forgives my mind,

My ignorance-vessel is emptied

And I become again a new vessel.

```

15386

```

When God forgives my heart,

I am ready to make a new start

And become His choice instrument.

```

15387

```

Intimacy replaces separation

When I feel I have been

Completely forgiven by the Supreme.

```

15388

```

What I need is

God’s complete Assurance

That He has forgiven me —

My past, present and future. ```

15389

```

Newness-feeling in our lives

Comes not from without

But from within.

```

15390

```

Why do we want to boost our ego?

Just because we separate our existence,

Inner and outer,

From the rest of the world. ```

15391

```

The more we can unite,

Prayerfully, soulfully and lovingly,

The more satisfaction-delight we get.

```

15392

```

Let our speciality

Be uniting,

Not separating.

```

15393

```

Spiritual Masters are special.

Why?

Because they love everybody.

```

15394

```

By becoming part and parcel

Of the whole world,

We become special.

```

15395

```

The most perfect way

To become special

Is to give God the responsibility

To take care of your life. ```

15396

```

Remember, imagination is not

Mental hallucination — never!

Imagination is a world of its own.

```

15397

```

When we pray most sincerely,

God is not on top of the Himalayas,

But inside our very heart.

```

15398

```

A spiritual Master is the true source

Of the disciple’s greatest

Inspiration-aspiration-realisation.

```

15399

```

Unwillingness

Comes from the mind

That has become very lethargic.

```

15400

```

We can overcome unwillingness

If we know we are supposed to do

Something good for God and the world.

```

15401

```

To the very end,

We have to pray

For God’s Forgiveness

And God’s Compassion. ```

15402

```

How can we know

That God has forgiven us?

Because we have not repeated

The same mistake. ```

15403

```

Even though it is we

Who are tempted

To do the wrong thing,

We blame God

For allowing us to do it.

```

15404

```

When we do something good,

We say,

“By virtue of my own talent,

Capacity and prayer,

I did it.”

```

15405

```

When we do something bad,

We immediately blame

A third party —

And that third party

Happens to be God.

```

15406

```

When you do something good

For humanity,

Try to imagine the Feet of God and say,

“It is all by Your Grace,

My Beloved Lord Supreme.”

```

15407

```

Who gives you the inspiration

To meditate early in the morning?

God Himself.

```

15408

```

One bad thought

Can eventually lower

Your consciousness.

```

15409

```

One good thought

Gives you the strength

Of an elephant.

```

15410

```

A single thought

Has the power of a bullet:

Either it can destroy you

Or it can help you

Immensely.

```

15411

```

We are all still alive

On earth

Because some good souls

Are praying and meditating. ```

15412

```

When intensity and patience

Go together,

Receptivity is bound to come.

```

15413

```

It is better and wiser

To be a discoverer

Than an inventor.

God has hidden everything

Inside us.

We have only to discover it. ```

15414

```

The hardest task on earth

Is to lift up

The human consciousness.

It is like trying to straighten

The tail of a dog.

```

15415

```

Outwardly we call it

Patience;

Inwardly we call it

Wisdom-light. ```

15416

```

The vision of a oneness-family

Will one day cover

The length and breadth

Of the world. ```

15417

```

By itself, money-power can do

Nothing spiritually great

In this world,

But heart-power can do

And does it all the time.

```

15418

```

I love God

Not because He is omnipotent,

But because He is all Love.

```

15419

```

As long as any human being

Is on earth,

Up until the very last moment,

He can make progress

By offering his gratitude to God

And his surrender to God’s Will. ```

15420

```

Just because God has given us

The capacity to please Him,

We shall offer Him

Our gratitude-heart-tears. ```

15421

```

At every moment

This precious life of mine

Is unconditionally given

To God’s Will. ```

15422

```

The moment there is

Flaming aspiration

Inside your heart,

That is your real birthday. ```

15423

```

A birthday signifies

The soul’s promise

To the Real in us.

```

15424

```

When you can consciously feel

That your body, vital, mind

And heart

Are all empty vessels,

Then only can God

Fill them to the brim

With His Divinity’s Light

And Delight-Blessings. ```

15425

```

The mind

Is like a raging furnace,

Full of uncomely

And unhealthy thoughts. ```

15426

```

On the spur of the moment,

Aspiration will take you

To your next goal,

But it cannot carry you

To the Highest immediately.

```

15427

```

In the highest meditation,

There is no seeing,

No feeling;

There is only becoming. ```

15428

```

Whatever God asks you to do —

Even if it is a most mundane thing —

If you do it with your heart,

You will see what a gift

You have given to God.

```

15429

```

When you meditate well,

Your soul-bird flies

Among the topmost branches

Of your life-tree. ```

15430

```

When you do not meditate well,

Your soul-bird lies

At the foot of your life-tree

Almost dead,

And God has to go there

And inject the bird

With inspiration and aspiration.

```

15431

```

No matter how many times

The string of your aspiration-kite

Has snapped,

You must try and try again. ```

15432

```

Sincerity is something

That the heart is

And the mind is not.

```

15433

```

God’s absolute Victory

In and through us

Comes from the feeling

That we are so fortunate

To be chosen by Him.

```

15434

```

You are so fortunate

Because your Master

Has accepted your capacities

And your weaknesses. ```

15435

```

What does God do for the Master?

He binds the Master’s whole body

With rope all around.

```

15436

```

Because of your Master’s

Striking capacities,

You can develop

Your own inner capacities

And remove

All your ignorance-shackles. ```

15437

```

When intensity comes

From the heart,

You feel, “I cannot breathe,

I cannot live if I do not

Achieve my goal.”

```

15438

```

When intensity comes

From the mind,

You feel, “If I create intensity,

I will be able to accomplish everything

Sooner than at once.”

```

15439

```

When we create intensity

With the mind,

It is like using a fire

When we do not need it. ```

15440

```

It is not because

God is displeased with you

That you have fallen;

He is displeased with you

Because you have fallen.

```

15441

```

You expect so many things

From your Master,

But can you not see

That he expects love,

Devotion and surrender

From you? ```

15442

```

I pray for the arrival

Of the cosmic goddesses

In their divine aspects

For the liberation

Of the absolutely ardent

Seekers. ```

15443

```

Do not discard imagination.

Imagination is a solid power;

Imagination is a reality

In the higher worlds. ```

15444

```

I was nothing

And

I would forever

Have remained nothing

If God’s Grace

Had not entered into

My life.

```

15445

```

When we achieve something,

The first thing that comes

Is a subtle pride.

When that pride settles

Inside us,

It becomes self-gratification. ```

15446

```

We are nothing

In comparison to

What we shall become

If we pray and meditate

For the remainder of our lives.

```

15447

```

Intensity is not something tense.

Intensity comes only

When you are hungry and thirsty

For God’s Presence. ```

15448

```

Inside you is a divine swimmer

Who is all the time

Swimming inside your heart-river

With tremendous inner joy. ```

15449

```

You, too, can invent

Something absolutely new

Which nobody else

Has invented.

What is that thing?

You will give and give

To humanity and to God,

But you will not ask

For anything in return.

```

15450

```

God always thinks of you

As His unprecedented Dream,

Which is not similar

To any other Dream of His. ```

15451

```

When the devotion-magnet

Disappears,

Gratitude soon follows

Its example. ```

15452

```

Fight against dissatisfaction

In your own life,

For dissatisfaction will take away

All your joy and energy. ```

15453

```

An unconscious mistake

Is still

A mistake.

```

15454

```

If kindness does not carry

Inner light,

Then it can be badly

Misused. ```

15455

```

One negative force can destroy

All our good qualities,

Plus compel us

To drink poison. ```

15456

```

When the mind is not

Fossilised,

The soul can make

Very fast progress. ```

15457

```

We must challenge and conquer

The giant pride of our own

Self-doubt.

```

15458

```

How long can you

Deny God?

How long can you bear

The absence of His Light? ```

15459

```

Because we do not have peace

Inside our hearts,

We fight.

Because we inwardly feel

That we are weak,

We fight. ```

15460

```

If you constantly think

Of the descent of your

Consciousness,

Then the power of that descent

Will all the time haunt you.

```

15461

```

You will ruin

Your most powerful concentration

And meditation

If you always keep your eyes

On the hands of the clock.

```

15462

```

If one is consciously indulgent

In the spiritual life,

One cannot make

Satisfactory progress. ```

15463

```

Each undivine thought

Is an insect

That has come to destroy

The most beautiful flowers

In your heart-garden.

```

15464

```

How can you do anything

That will ruin the beauty,

Fragrance and divinity

Of your heart?

Your heart is your very

Existence. ```

15465

```

Am I a fool

To destroy my heart,

Which is the most important thing

In God’s creation? ```

15466

```

When there is self-indulgence,

There is always an after-effect:

Destruction of the beautiful moon

Inside you. ```

15467

```

By diminishing your bad qualities

And by increasing your good qualities,

You can easily be the judge

Of your own life. ```

15468

```

We need a mind

That is absolutely dynamic

And alert,

And not a mind

That is numb, dull

And insensitive. ```

15469

```

Mental deception comes

When we are not fully prepared

To discipline our mind,

Our vital and our body. ```

15470

```

Illumination

Is a slow and steady

Progress.

```

15471

```

To have abundant energy,

Imagine not one

But hundreds of flames

Inside your heart. ```

15472

```

We are all pilgrims

Here on earth

And we are running

Together

Towards the Golden Shore.

```

15473

```

The day

You do not pray,

Everything is chaos.

```

15474

```

Right now

Our duty is to sow

The seeds of love

And

The seeds of compassion.

```

15475

```

The Master not only provides

The short-cut

But he also removes

All the high hurdles

In your path.

```

15476

```

Alas, just because

Our vessel is so small,

We cannot hold the Concern,

Compassion and Love

That God is pouring into us.

```

15477

```

When our God-gratitude

Increases,

A new road ahead

Immediately becomes visible. ```

15478

```

God is blessing you

Unconditionally.

That means He has also

Given you the capacity

To love Him unconditionally.

```

15479

```

On the day of our birth,

The soul says,

“I am loving God

Unconditionally.

My brother heart,

My brother mind,

My brother vital

And my brother body,

You also do the same.”

```

15480

```

If ever we allow

Our hope-dream-flame

To be extinguished,

Death will immediately come,

Smiling and dancing,

To strangle us

With death-shackles.

```

15481

```

Hope makes us

Humble.

Expectation fills us

With haughty confidence. ```

15482

```

Your own weakness

Is the magnet

That draws out

The faults of others. ```

15483

```

Whether God forgives us

Or not

Is up to Him,

But if we can pray to God

Sincerely for forgiveness,

It illumines our mind

And purifies our heart.

```

15484

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Please forgive me now

For the great mistakes

That I may make tomorrow. ```

15485

```

Our prayer-life is not only

For our past mistakes.

We can also pray for God

To remove the obstacles

That lie ahead.

```

15486

```

Your tomorrow’s problems

Can be nullified

By your today’s prayers.

```

15487

```

Never forget

That when you accepted

The spiritual life,

It was for God’s sake. ```

15488

```

When you serve humanity

Devotedly,

Your service goes to the Supreme

Directly

Across a oneness-bridge.

```

15489

```

Spread

The fountain-joy

Of your pilgrim-heart

All-where. ```

15490

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Do increase the purity and gratitude

Inside my heart

To expedite my spiritual journey. ```

15491

```

Knowledge

Can be easily contradicted,

But wisdom-light

Can never be. ```

15492

```

Everything in God’s creation

Is temporary,

Save and except peace, love,

Joy and light. ```

15493

```

Protection comes quickly

If you pray for forgiveness

At the same time.

```

15494

```

The desires of the lower vital

Can be conquered

Only by the longing of the

Higher vital

To identify itself with the Vast.

```

15495

```

Vastness

Immediately purifies,

Illumines, envelops

And swallows impurity. ```

15496

```

Those who push and pull

In the spiritual life

Will find themselves

Pushed aside

And pulled behind.

```

15497

```

God relies on

This tiny earth planet

For the manifestation

Of His Transcendental Vision. ```

15498

```

We do not value Light

Because

We do not value meditation.

We do not value meditation

Because

We do not have inner hunger. ```

15499

```

If you find your road

Is strewn with thorns,

That does not mean

That God cares for you

Less.

```

15500

```

God Himself

Is the wisdom-light

Inside you

When you are trying

To overcome

Insurmountable obstacles. ```

15501

```

The heart’s aspiration-cries

And

The mind’s dissatisfaction-frowns

Never meet. ```

15502

```

Now that my mind

Has surrendered to my heart,

I can proudly heave

A sigh of relief. ```

15503

```

Once the mind is awakened,

It overrules the dictatorship

Of doubt.

```

15504

```

What we all need

Is a failure-proof

Aspiration-heart

And a failure-proof

Dedication-life.

```

15505

```

If you consciously cherish

Your doubting mind,

Then you are bound to have

A strained relationship

With God’s Compassion-Heart.

```

15506

```

If you can surrender your human life

To God’s divine Will,

Then your divine human heart

Can have a marathon conversation

With God’s divine Eye.

```

15507

```

God does not want to see

Your tearful eyes

Inside the beauty of

Your aspiration-heart. ```

15508

```

To undo the mind’s confusion-knot,

What you need

Is a soulfully blossoming thought.

```

15509

```

Love the inner world,

Serve the outer world

Sleeplessly.

Yours will be the life

That will have no faults.

```

15510

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am all gratitude to You

For You have blessed my life

With a new reserve

Of optimism-light.

```

15511

```

Last night I was so happy

That my mind was ruthlessly struck

By self-doubt.

```

15512

```

How can you make

Any satisfactory progress

If your mind is blinded

By your negative attitude

Towards the inner life

And the ultimate Destination? ```

15513

```

God will wait for us,

Even when our mind

Is late in its awareness,

Our heart

Is late in its wakefulness

And our life

Is late in its soulfulness.

```

15514

```

My true friend is he

Who loves me

For what I inwardly am

And not

For what I outwardly have.

```

15515

```

Be kind.

Be involved in your friend’s

Outer problems.

```

15516

```

Be wise.

Be not involved in your friend’s

Inner decisions.

```

15517

```

Every day God sends

His supreme Message-Light

To me

Through my friends,

But alas, quite often

My mind is focused elsewhere. ```

15518

```

My friend is

My mind’s happiness

In my outer life.

```

15519

```

My friend is

My heart’s fulness

In my inner life.

```

15520

```

Every day

I learn so much

About myself

Just by listening

To my dear friend.

```

15521

```

To me, a seeker-friend

Is a rich supply

Of spiritual energy.

```

15522

```

Maintain friendship at any cost!

At times, even your dearest friend

May annoy you, exasperate you

And even enrage you.

Have patience.

Your friend will eventually

Change for the better

And you will be mightily happy. ```

15523

```

On earth everyone becomes our friend.

Afterwards, we come to realise

That there is only one Friend

And that Friend is God. ```

15524

```

Without friendship

This world would not exist,

Even for a fleeting second —

Whether it is human friendship

Or divine friendship.

```

15525

```

My prayer

A monologue.

```

15526

```

My surrender

A dialogue.

```

15527

```

May my searching mind

Inspire. ```

15528

```

May my loving heart

Aspire. ```

15529

```

May my strangling vital

Expire! ```

15530

```

The mind says

God can

If He wants to.

```

15531

```

The heart says

God will

Because He wants to.

```

15532

```

My heart is not perfect.

But unlike my mind,

It longs to be perfect.

```

15533

```

To be humble

And not to be appreciated

By God

Is indeed a contradiction. ```

15534

```

O my mind,

Yesterday I used you,

But today

I want to use my heart. ```

15535

```

I love my life’s

Service-mind-hours. ```

15536

```

God loves my heart’s

Surrender-result-moments. ```

15537

```

Progress

Is happiness.

Happiness

Is willingness. ```

15538

```

Aspiration

Creates.

Dedication

Reveals. ```

15539

```

My purity-heart is

A temple

With God the Satisfaction-Smile

Inside. ```

15540

```

Everything else can wait,

But not

My God-obedience.

```

15541

```

For God-lovers, divinity-lovers

And music-lovers,

Each soulful song

Is a most delicious banquet

In the inner world.

```

15542

```

Today’s confidence

Tomorrow’s progress.

```

15543

```

Two commanders:

Aspiration-commander commands,

“Go up!”

Temptation-commander commands,

“Go down!”

```

15544

```

When I am on tiptoe,

I see the Face of God. ```

15545

```

When I am on my knees,

God makes me another God. ```

15546

```

Satisfaction is not only

At the finish line

But also

At the starting line. ```

15547

```

True, your mind is unhappy.

That does not mean

That you will ask

Your unhappy mind

To destroy

Your happy heart. ```

15548

```

Love needs no sword,

No chain,

To govern me, my life.

```

15549

```

My Lord has no time

To straighten me

And my mind,

But He has all the time

To enlighten me

And my heart. ```

15550

```

You can never free yourself

If you depend only on

Man’s approval.

```

15551

```

God has time

To dance

If you have time

To sing with Him. ```

15552

```

Sympathy says,

“I am sorry

That I am not able

To help you.” ```

15553

```

Compassion says,

“I am happy

That I can be of help

To you.” ```

15554

```

Disobedience

Self-punishment.

```

15555

```

Obedience

God-enlightenment.

```

15556

```

When I try to understand God,

I make myself

Unhappy.

```

15557

```

When I try to trust God,

God Himself makes me

Happy.

```

15558

```

The mind

Wants

To see the world.

```

15559

```

The heart

Wants

To love the world.

```

15560

```

The soul

Wants

To become the world itself.

```

15561

```

Do not be afraid of tomorrow,

For God is already waiting for you

Eagerly

At the Destination. ```

15562

```

Each human being is

A Blessing-Compassion-Vision-

Promise-Song

Of God. ```

15563

```

To transcend our capacities,

Nothing is as important

As our heart’s

Eagerness-enthusiasm. ```

15564

```

The fear of the mind

Is undoubtedly strong,

But the faith of the heart

Is infinitely stronger. ```

15565

```

How can you fulfil your promises

If your mind treasures

Venom-doubts?

```

15566

```

If you want to run always the fastest

In your inner life of aspiration,

Then never allow

Your heart’s devotion-flower

To wither.

```

15567

```

If you need fulness-satisfaction,

Then you must first become

A citizen

Of oneness-country. ```

15568

```

My heart’s soulful surrender

Is my life’s first-hand

Freedom-experience.

```

15569

```

Divinity can manifest

Most perfectly

And most satisfactorily

Only when the mind becomes

A purity-powerhouse.

```

15570

```

God wants you to learn

That my goodness-heart

Is infinitely sweeter

Than my greatness-mind. ```

15571

```

Just change your thought-pattern!

Lo, the entire world loves you,

Needs you and claims you

As its very own. ```

15572

```

One lifetime is not enough

To think of God’s Forgiveness,

Meditate on God’s Compassion

And dream of God’s Perfection. ```

15573

```

A drop of purity-mind

Is a great friend of

An ocean of gratitude.

```

15574

```

O my heart,

Where are you?

You alone are

My satisfaction-tower. ```

15575

```

A true aspiration-life

Can never heave

A sigh of failure.

```

15576

```

My soul’s universal message is:

O world, be not discouraged!

My Lord Supreme has not yet

Given up on you. ```

15577

```

When my heart’s purity

Challenges my mind’s impurity,

My Lord’s Manifestation-Light

Becomes clearer than the clearest

And brighter than the brightest.

```

15578

```

There is no human life

That has not been bitten

By frustration-snake.

```

15579

```

A sincere seeker

Must always feel

That each second

Is a God-serving opportunity. ```

15580

```

God’s Heart-Temple

Is filled

With humanity’s

Ingratitude-breath. ```

15581

```

As earthly peace

Is on the increase,

Even so, Heavenly Satisfaction

Is on the increase. ```

15582

```

Expectation is sweet.

Aspiration is sweeter.

Self-offering is by far

The sweetest. ```

15583

```

Alas, the insecurity of the heart

And the impurity of the mind

Are ruling the human kingdom.

```

15584

```

May my searching mind

Be protected

By Infinity’s Silence

And Eternity’s Joy. ```

15585

```

A heart of faith

Consciously does not want

To be aware of

A mind of doubt. ```

15586

```

When I enter into

My heart-garden,

Whom do I see first?

I see my Lord,

Eternity’s Patience-Gardener.

```

15587

```

O my foolish mind,

Will you ever open

Your heart’s forgiveness-door?

```

15588

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do give me a heart

That is always open

To change. ```

15589

```

I have counted my God-Blessings.

God’s Forgiveness-Smile

Is the treasure of my heart.

```

15590

```

There are two unanswered questions:

Is God for me always?

Am I always for God?

```

15591

```

I do not want to know

The future of this earth.

I wish to see a better face

And a better heart

Of this earth.

```

15592

```

Do not inspect,

O my mind.

Do not suggest,

O my heart.

Just give what you have.

Just become

What you are supposed to be.

```

15593

```

Do not think of happiness.

Just pray for happiness

And grow into

The fragrance-beauty

Of happiness.

```

15594

```

The mind says,

“What I have

Is not for you.”

```

15595

```

The heart says,

“Not only is what I have

For you,

But I also give you the authority

To claim me as your own.”

```

15596

```

It is not once in a lifetime

That you are given the chance

To become a perfect human being.

You get the chance every day —

A thousand times.

```

15597

```

Choose your heart

And not your mind

If you want to receive God

When He arrives. ```

15598

```

A spiritual Master

Shows us how we speak to God

When we enter into

Our destructive vital. ```

15599

```

A spiritual Master

Conveys the messages of our body,

Vital, mind, heart and soul.

```

15600

```

The words of a spiritual Master

Are not something foreign

To our aspiring hearts

And searching minds. ```

15601

```

What is the remedy

For self-complacency?

Alertness.

```

15602

```

What is the remedy

For fear?

Love and more love.

```

15603

```

If you take your existence

As one with God’s,

Why should you be afraid

Of anything? ```

15604

```

As we cannot live on earth

With yesterday’s food,

Even so, we cannot please God

With yesterday’s dedicated service,

Yesterday’s prayer

And yesterday’s meditation. ```

15605

```

Ego’s root is jealousy

And

Jealousy’s root is separation.

```

15606

```

If your love for God

Is like the Ganges,

Which is constantly flowing

Down from the Himalayas,

There is nothing you will not do

For God. ```

15607

```

It is the deer-speed in us

That will enable us

To run the fastest

In the spiritual life. ```

15608

```

Like the deer who runs

To and fro

Looking for the musk,

You will discover that

The supreme Reality

Is inside your heart. ```

15609

```

God will be extremely disturbed

If we simply throw away

The Blessings

Which every day, every hour,

Every minute and every second

He is pouring into us. ```

15610

```

When you spread

The Light of the Supreme

With your fruitful soul,

Our Beloved Supreme

Will bless you

With His universal Love,

Transcendental Compassion

And immortal Pride. ```

15611

```

At the dawn of the spiritual life,

Each and every seeker’s heart

Comes forward

With the conscious promise

To fulfil the Supreme

In His own Way. ```

15612

```

Compassion gives.

Determination receives.

Dedication succeeds.

Aspiration proceeds.

The Smile of the Beyond fulfils.

```

15613

```

Your method is to do everything

Heroically and stoically,

But my method is to do everything

Sleeplessly. ```

15614

```

Since your life is not made

Of nothingness,

It can once again fall flat

At God’s Forgiveness-Feet

And say,

“My Lord, do not forsake me!” ```

15615

```

If you do not dedicate yourself,

Your aspiration will touch

Rock bottom.

```

15616

```

We have to transcend

Our height,

But alas, we have become experts

In descending. ```

15617

```

The Vedic sacred fire

Lifts up humanity’s consciousness

To the highest transcendental

Height. ```

15618

```

The Vedic sacred fire

Purifies the human in us —

Ignorance and bondage —

And illumines the divine in us —

Love, truth, peace

And bliss. ```

15619

```

The divine God-lover

Loves God consciously,

Constantly, devotedly

And unconditionally. ```

15620

```

A divine lover merges into

The infinite, eternal

And immortal Beloved Supreme.

```

15621

```

He who embodies earth’s sufferings

And carries them to the Supreme

Is a divine hero-warrior.

```

15622

```

Our soul dives into

The unfathomable depth

And brings to the fore

Peace, love, light and bliss

In infinite measure

To be of devoted service

To the Supreme

In aspiring humanity. ```

15623

```

The present connects

Our beginningless past

And our eternal future.

```

15624

```

My Lord Supreme,

You have played the role

Of aspiration in and through me.

Now You want to play the role

Of inspiration in and through

All my brothers and sisters

Of the world.

As I have placed the aspiration-seed

At Your Feet,

Even so, my brothers and sisters

Shall place the inspiration-tree

At Your Feet. ```

15625

```

Make it a point to feel

That you are the soul,

The direct representative

Of the Cosmic Self. ```

15626

```

There Above,

You are the Cosmic Self.

Here below,

You are the manifesting soul. ```

15627

```

There is nothing

You cannot accomplish

Through meditation.

```

15628

```

If you feel that meditation

Can give you something

That nobody else on earth

Can give you,

Then your meditation will be

Peerless. ```

15629

```

Sweetness embodies

Ecstasy, light, delight

And Immortality.

```

15630

```

When one becomes

Receptive,

One is endowed with

Sweetness, oneness and fulness. ```

15631

```

When we are friendly,

We appreciate.

When we appreciate,

We trust.

When we trust,

We love.

When we love,

We become one. ```

15632

```

When we are awakened

From the night of ignorance,

We come to realise

That God has given us

What He has: Love

And

He sustains us with

What He is: Love. ```

15633

```

God, the Author of all good,

Has transplanted in us

All His divine qualities.

```

15634

```

The world needs our service,

Not our help.

The moment we feel that

We are going to help the world,

We begin our superiority-game.

```

15635

```

When we devotedly serve the world,

We offer our humility,

Our capacity

And our feeling of oneness. ```

15636

```

Our prayers can be

An additional strength

To those hero-warriors

Who are fighting against

World-disharmony.

```

15637

```

With total transformation,

The entire being becomes

What God is —

Perfection. ```

15638

```

On earth and in Heaven,

Only one thing we need

And that is perfection.

```

15639

```

Consecrate yourself

Devotedly and integrally

To the inner life.

```

15640

```

The highest vow one can make

Is to realise

And manifest

The Absolute Supreme. ```

15641

```

Fortunately, God’s Compassion

And not God’s Justice

Is the last word

In our human life. ```

15642

```

If you do your selfless service

In pindrop silence

With utmost attention

And devotion,

Then it is your real

Meditation. ```

15643

```

In the spiritual world

There is no proxy;

One must do everything

Oneself. ```

15644

```

If all the world’s

Worries and anxieties

Are entering into you,

Then throw yourself

Into selfless service.

That is the only medicine

To cure you.

```

15645

```

Human concern is most often

Another name for

Unrecognised attachment.

```

15646

```

Divine concern is the result

Of our inseparable

Universal oneness.

```

15647

```

Each individual

Is a true descendant

Of God.

```

15648

```

You have the right

To do the right thing.

You have the right

To say the right thing.

You have the right

To become the right thing.

Right is the divine impetus

Within you. ```

15649

```

The day I become perfect,

Mother Earth will bless me

Because there will be

One less imperfect person

On earth.

```

15650

```

Who makes your life

Meaningful and fruitful?

Not you,

But the One who is operating

In and through you.

```

15651

```

The divine Force

Is eager to operate

In and through you

Twenty-four hours a day,

Provided you give it

The chance. ```

15652

```

If you can think of the Supreme

Infinitely more than you think

Of yourself,

All your problems will be solved. ```

15653

```

At the end of your life’s journey,

God will ask you only one question:

“What have you done for Me?”

```

15654

```

At the end of your life’s journey,

If you can say to the Supreme,

“I came into the world;

I loved You and served You

In humanity

And I surrendered

To the Inner Pilot

In humanity,”

Then God will immediately

Embrace you and place you

On His Throne.

```

15655

```

At the end of your earth-pilgrimage,

God will not listen

To all your lame excuses.

```

15656

```

Start your spiritual journey

Right from this moment.

There is no tomorrow,

There is no today,

There is not even a full day

At your disposal. ```

15657

```

It is better to know

Our own weak points,

So that we can exterminate

Those weak points

From our life.

```

15658

```

From time to time

Spiritual Masters come

To illumine the consciousness

Of the earth.

It is an eternal game

With a continuous flow

Of divine players.

```

15659

```

Humanity’s joy will come

By giving joy

To Divinity.

```

15660

```

Down the sweep of centuries,

Millions of seekers have failed

When it came time to make

Their surrender unconditional. ```

15661

```

Even if an unconditionally

Surrendered seeker

Cherishes a good desire

And God fulfils it,

That seeker will feel

That he has failed. ```

15662

```

If we really want

God’s Victory on earth,

Then all the weaknesses

That we have

We must surrender to Him

Unconditionally. ```

15663

```

An unconditionally surrendered

Disciple

Will have no aspiration-limit,

No dedication-limit

And

No manifestation-limit. ```

15664

```

An unconditionally surrendered

Disciple

Will not need any credentials.

```

15665

```

Can prayer be inferior

To anything?

Can meditation be inferior

To anything?

No, no, no!

```

15666

```

Prayer and meditation

Are the Life-Breath

Of God.

```

15667

```

Inside your heart-safe

You must keep

Your most precious treasure:

Your Beloved Supreme. ```

15668

```

The inner runner

Is always trying to offer

Inspiration and aspiration

To the outer runner. ```

15669

```

Pray with folded hands,

Devotedly and intensely,

If you want your prayer

To reach

Your Lord Supreme.

```

15670

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme,

I am invoking Your Presence

To spread Light

To the suffering human beings. ```

15671

```

One who is divinely practical

Can bring God into his life

On the outer plane.

```

15672

```

A spiritual seeker knows

What practicality is,

Because he has practically proved

In his own life

The necessity of God

And God’s Compassion. ```

15673

```

Every time you intensify

Your God-eagerness,

You receive more Blessings

From God. ```

15674

```

God tolerates

Humanity’s wrong actions

With the hope that one day

We will turn over a new leaf

And run towards the Light.

```

15675

```

Why does God tolerate

Our imperfections?

Because He Himself has sown

The seed of perfection

Deep inside us.

```

15676

```

If your aspiration is always

In ascendance,

Then you can keep

The divine Force

Permanently

Inside your heart. ```

15677

```

Faith in oneself says:

“I will always remain

In my highest.

I will always maintain

My oneness with God.”

```

15678

```

The Call has come for you

From Above

To please God and fulfil Him

In His own Way. ```

15679

```

We must carry

The Message of the Supreme

To earth

And then we must carry

The message of earth

To the Supreme. ```

15680

```

The Message of Heaven

Is Delight.

The message of earth

Is perfection. ```

15681

```

Do not deprive others

Of their chance

To reach the Goal.

```

15682

```

Try to approach God

With the good qualities

That you have

And not with the good qualities

That you do not have.

```

15683

```

To please God in His own Way

Is to do what God wants

Even before He asks.

```

15684

```

We have inside us

A miniature world

Which we are trying

To illumine. ```

15685

```

The greatest miracle

For a spiritual Master

Is to smile at the world,

Because the heart

Of a spiritual Master

Is bleeding like the Ganges

At every second.

```

15686

```

Every day we stand between

Our forgetfulness of God

And

Our conscious awareness of God. ```

15687

```

Every day comes to you

As a new hope, new promise,

New aspiration, new energy,

New thrill and new delight. ```

15688

```

You can transcend yourself

Only by discovering

And maintaining

Your joy. ```

15689

```

Every day you have to

Energise yourself

To feel new hope

And new aspiration. ```

15690

```

If you have no hope,

On that day you are

As good as dead.

```

15691

```

All the limitations

That we have,

We ascribe to God also.

```

15692

```

Individuality and personality

Disappear

Inside our universality.

```

15693

```

The sooner your shortcomings

Come to the fore,

The better.

Otherwise, they will lie dormant

In your consciousness.

```

15694

```

If you are suffering from

Ego-problems or jealousy-problems,

Do not be frightened.

Do not be disappointed.

On the contrary, be grateful

To the Supreme

For the opportunity

To free yourself from them

Forever.

```

15695

```

Each individual

Is a separate note

In the never-ending

Song of humanity. ```

15696

```

O children of the Supreme,

You are not the children of the past,

But the children of the Eternal Now.

You are the children

Of the ever-glowing Heart,

Ever-flowing Soul

And ever-illumining Body

Of the Supreme. ```

15697

```

Pure gold is your heart’s

Intense inner cry

And your life’s

Sincere self-giving. ```

15698

```

God pulls and pulls you

From within

Until you are safely

Inside His Heart. ```

15699

```

Until you have confidence

That you will stay with God,

Your life will always be

On tenterhooks. ```

15700

```

When the aspiring mind

Is filled with divine ecstasy,

It is ready to charm and illumine

The entire being. ```

15701

```

There was a time when your mind

Found it extremely difficult

To surrender to your heart.

But now, by the infinite Grace

Of the Supreme,

Your soul’s light has entered

Into your mind through the heart.

```

15702

```

Only an illumined mind

Can run together

With the aspiring heart

And the fulfilling soul. ```

15703

```

It is a tremendous achievement

For the mind to be illumined

By the soul’s light

And to be fully ready to share its wealth

With the entire being.

```

15704

```

Your aspiration-waves

Are moving around,

Like a revolving door,

But they have not yet touched

The highest Height.

```

15705

```

The inner cry creates receptivity.

Inside receptivity, gratitude flows.

Nothing else can produce it.

```

15706

```

If you work hard

On the inner plane,

You will be blessed

With gratitude. ```

15707

```

Aspiration-plant is not

The end.

Realisation-tree is not

The end.

Revelation-flower is not

The end.

Manifestation-fruit is not

The end.

There is no end, there is no end.

```

15708

```

If you keep your inner silence

As an isolated experience-reality,

It will never produce something

Soulful and fruitful in your life. ```

15709

```

If we fail even in one thing,

The hostile forces may compel us

To fail in everything.

```

15710

```

If we do not fail in one thing,

The hostile forces

Can never compel us

To fail in anything. ```

15711

```

Become a soulful member

Of the ever-aspiring

Universal orchestra

Of the Supreme’s Cosmic Game. ```

15712

```

There is no neutrality

In the spiritual life.

Either you are on God’s side

Or you are on the side of ignorance. ```

15713

```

When you mix with ignorance,

Even to budge an inch

For God’s sake

Is most difficult. ```

15714

```

When you are inundated

With Light,

Even if God asks you

To climb up Mount Everest,

You will do it easily.

```

15715

```

No spiritual Master

Of the highest height

Has failed.

They struggled hard,

And whatever humanity

Could receive

Or wanted to receive,

It has received. ```

15716

```

What we need

Is the capacity of a bird

To pierce the skies.

```

15717

```

If you want to deal with

Your present world

Wisely,

Then you need only one thing:

Oneness with God’s Will.

```

15718

```

Wisdom is not the accumulation

Of thoughts and ideas

Which are at your disposal

To offer to mankind. ```

15719

```

Wisdom is to obey

The Message of God

At every moment.

There is no other wisdom. ```

15720

```

Love, devotion and surrender —

These divine qualities

Are your inner jewels.

```

15721

```

Your divine dream-boat

Will one day touch

The Reality-Shore.

```

15722

```

The delight of the universal Self

Will eventually transform

The earth-bound consciousness

Into the Heaven-free Reality. ```

15723

```

God’s supreme Palace

Will always house and protect you

Inwardly and outwardly.

```

15724

```

Let your heart

Be the living proof

That gratitude exists

On earth. ```

15725

```

Through our prayer-life

And meditation-life,

We must immeasurably

Strengthen ourselves

To shoulder our God-ordained

Spiritual responsibilities. ```

15726

```

My Absolute Lord Supreme,

Please bless me

With confidence-clarity

And

Assurance-inevitability.

```

15727

```

In the aspiration-world

Receptivity is found

In the beautiful garden

Of devotion. ```

15728

```

If you remain all by yourself

And all for yourself,

Your soul will not take responsibility

For your actions. ```

15729

```

Our soul is like a mother

Who is always hiding

Her children’s shortcomings.

```

15730

```

Disobedience is the root cause

Of the soul’s unhappiness

And disappointment.

```

15731

```

If you do not accept

The soul’s guidance,

It is like being all alone

In the street at night

In a heavy downpour.

Desperately you are trying

To go home,

But you have lost your way. ```

15732

```

Who can say when

The soul will decide

Not to intervene any more

In human ignorance? ```

15733

```

Even a small detour

In the spiritual life

Can take you

Farther than the farthest

From the Goal.

```

15734

```

It is simply impossible

For any seeker to remain

At the same standard,

Without budging,

Either upwards or downwards.

```

15735

```

If you invoke God’s Protection

From morning to night

Every day,

Then He will never fail you. ```

15736

```

Do not depend solely

On divine Grace

For your progress.

You have to increase soulfully

Your own personal efforts.

```

15737

```

The Goal has to be won.

If it comes and stands

In front of you

At your journey’s start,

You will not value it.

```

15738

```

If you really love God,

Then wherever He is,

You have to run.

```

15739

```

Since God has taken the trouble

To come to us,

We must also take the trouble

To go to Him. ```

15740

```

He who hides from the world

In a Himalayan cave

Will discover that his own mind

Has brought scorpion-thoughts

To torture him.

```

15741

```

By withdrawing from the world

Do we accomplish anything?

No! We are only avoiding

The hurdles

That must be faced and overcome.

```

15742

```

We forget to cry for

God’s Forgiveness

When we see

That we do not get

His punishment.

```

15743

```

When you do not listen

To your soul

For the first time,

It is weak disobedience. ```

15744

```

When you do not listen

To your soul

For the second or third time,

It is bold defiance. ```

15745

```

Insecurity in the heart

Comes from

Impurity in the mind.

```

15746

```

When you discourage others,

You have to feel

That you have dropped

A most beautiful piece of glass. ```

15747

```

Without inner joy,

Everything becomes

Monotonous.

```

15748

```

You can never be an authority

On others.

You can only be an authority

On your own self-improvement. ```

15749

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I have shaken off

My God-disappointment-past.

```

15750

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I am now welcoming

My tomorrow’s golden realities.

```

15751

```

I can vividly see

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Right in front of my vision-eye.

He is telling me

That He is all-eager

To play with me. ```

15752

```

Alas, long buried in oblivion

Your aspiration-heart.

```

15753

```

If you can develop

The beauty and fragrance

Of gratitude

Every day,

Then there is nothing

That the Supreme will not do

For you.

```

15754

```

Negligible disobedience

Is like a little hole

That gradually becomes

Bigger and bigger. ```

15755

```

If you are tempted

To do something wrong,

Postpone it.

```

15756

```

If you are inspired

To do something good,

Do it immediately,

Before the birth

Of another second.

```

15757

```

Do not neglect your body.

Lethargy can give birth

To ten million hostile forces.

```

15758

```

Your old self

Is an unsatisfactory self.

And what constitutes

Your old self?

Self-doubt, insecurity

And lack of faith in God. ```

15759

```

The New Year comes

To give you another

Opportunity

To get rid of your old self. ```

15760

```

The New Year comes and goes,

But the same sad frustrations

You carry with you.

```

15761

```

There is a great difference

Between

God’s Smile of Compassion

And

God’s Smile of Satisfaction.

```

15762

```

God has infinitely more hope

For our lives

Than we have.

```

15763

```

Try to be conscious of the fact

That you exist to please God

And not vice versa.

```

15764

```

If you cherish anger

And frustration,

Like wildfire,

One day they will burn you

To ashes.

```

15765

```

Fearful willingness

And

Mechanical willingness

Are useless. ```

15766

```

Only cheerful willingness

Is of value,

For it embodies

Intense dynamism

And a self-giving life.

```

15767

```

Insincere seekers

Meditate

On the hands of the clock.

```

15768

```

Sincere seekers

Meditate

On the sound

Of their own heartbeat. ```

15769

```

Maintain your spiritual hunger

And thirst.

The feeling of complacency

Is your worst enemy. ```

15770

```

Do not surrender

To circumstances.

Spiritual seekers

Are supposed to be

Warriors.

```

15771

```

Daily ask your mind and heart

How you can please God

In His own Way.

```

15772

```

Consciously if you say,

“I want to please God

In His own Way,”

Then how can you

Unconsciously displease Him?

```

15773

```

There is not a single day

When God does not ask us

To do something unique

For Him

In the inner world.

```

15774

```

God finds it so difficult

To cultivate obedience

In His human children.

```

15775

```

The worst weakness

In the spiritual life

Is not ingratitude,

Not lack of surrender,

Not insecurity or impurity,

Not doubt or pride.

It is disobedience.

```

15776

```

It cannot be only

Your mental conviction

That God knows what is best

For you.

It has to be

Your psychic realisation. ```

15777

```

You can feel God’s Presence

By treasuring good thoughts

And good feelings,

Which are part and parcel

Of God’s Reality.

```

15778

```

If you do not want to see

God’s sadness,

Then the things

That make Him sad,

You will not do.

```

15779

```

If you really value

God’s Happiness,

Then the things

That make Him happy

You will increase

A hundredfold. ```

15780

```

Soulful communion with the God-Melody

Brings forward

Our heart’s intense cry.

```

15781

```

When we sing soulfully,

We receive the same divine benefit

As from our highest meditation.

```

15782

```

Oneness

Is much stronger

Than unity.

```

15783

```

Oneness

Is of the heart

And of the entire being.

```

15784

```

Unity

May at times

Be established

Only on a superficial level. ```

15785

```

When we sing hauntingly,

It adds so much beauty

To God’s Singing-World.

```

15786

```

When we sing soulfully,

God sees many beautiful plants

Growing in His Heart-Garden.

```

15787

```

When we do not sing soulfully,

The plants in God’s Heart-Garden

Do not become dry — they just die!

```

15788

```

Just by taking divine music seriously,

We can make

A remarkable improvement

In the musical world. ```

15789

```

Just by practising God-songs devotedly,

We can sing soulfully, powerfully,

Convincingly, charmingly

And confidently. ```

15790

```

The inner charm of our songs divine

Thrills none other than

God the Supreme Musician.

```

15791

```

God definitely considers

Singing spiritual songs

As the seeker’s true meditation.

```

15792

```

When excellent singers sing,

Their delicate subtlety

Just melts God’s Heart.

```

15793

```

Alas, the Supreme Musician

Cannot appreciate

Brilliant mental and vital

Musical jugglery. ```

15794

```

The Supreme Musician

Only appreciates music

That comes from the deepest depths

Of the inner world. ```

15795

```

What is the main representative

Of the soul?

None other than the psychic being.

```

15796

```

The psychic being

Is the most beautiful child

Inside the heart.

```

15797

```

God’s Compassion-flooded Call

Comes for us, for all of us,

Every day.

```

15798

```

God’s Call has come,

And now we must respond.

We must not do anything else.

```

15799

```

God the Supreme Musician

Blesses His unspiritual children

With earthly songs.

```

15800

```

God the Supreme Musician

Tells His spiritual children

That they are

His Heavenly songs. ```

15801

```

May the gods and goddesses

Bless my soulful songs

With celestial Compassion, Light

And Delight. ```

15802

```

To the desire-bound human beings

The Lord Supreme says,

“I am not your Guru,

But your slave.” ```

15803

```

God’s lament from Heaven:

“Those who worshipped Me,

Where have they gone?”

```

15804

```

God’s lament from Heaven:

“Those who worshipped Me,

Why have they forgotten Me?”

```

15805

```

The Master’s lament on earth:

“As soon as I am out of sight,

I am out of mind!”

```

15806

```

In every earthly

And Heavenly activity

Sincerity is of paramount importance.

```

15807

```

Capacity devotedly used

Is nothing other than

Climbing aspiration.

```

15808

```

If you do not use your divine capacity,

Then you lose God’s confidence

In you.

```

15809

```

If you want to enjoy

A vacation from God,

Then you lose God’s faith in you.

```

15810

```

God’s Music-Life

Is part and parcel

Of His Manifestation-Life.

```

15811

```

Let us make God’s Music-World

Part and parcel of our spiritual life

For our fastest inner progress.

```

15812

```

How to sing powerfully?

Think and feel

That you have just eaten voraciously.

```

15813

```

How to sing sweetly?

Practise, practise, practise

Many times daily.

```

15814

```

When delight comes,

Then power

Automatically comes.

```

15815

```

Delight

Without power

Is not delight.

```

15816

```

Each country has a soul.

The mind may not appreciate it,

But the heart will definitely

Appreciate it. ```

15817

```

Good-hearted people will see

That truth-seekers

Are trying to bring to the fore

The divine qualities of each country. ```

15818

```

The best way to serve a country

Is to bring to the fore

Its divine qualities.

```

15819

```

Life-energy is very good,

While restlessness is not.

They are two different things.

```

15820

```

Dynamism is needed,

But do not mistake restlessness

For dynamism.

```

15821

```

When we brave God’s secret scoldings,

He openly appreciates, admires

And adores

Our faster than the fastest progress. ```

15822

```

When God breaks our ignorance-life

Into millions of pieces,

It is all His Compassion —

Nothing else. ```

15823

```

When God strikes us hard,

Always the greatest Blessing descends

From the highest Height.

```

15824

```

God’s strictness brings about

The radical transformation

Of our consciousness.

```

15825

```

Tremendous interest is one thing,

But true capacity

Is another.

```

15826

```

The disciple’s ardent prayer

And meditation

Increase the Master’s capacity.

```

15827

```

The disciple’s receptivity

Can and will

Increase the Master’s capacity.

```

15828

```

O esraj, I am all gratitude to you

For bringing to the fore

The divine musician in me.

```

15829

```

O esraj, because of you

I claim myself to be an instrument

Of the Supreme Musician.

```

15830

```

There is no difference

Between our soulful songs

And our fruitful meditation.

```

15831

```

Be in a deep meditative consciousness

To feel God’s Blessings, Joy and Pride

In abundant measure.

```

15832

```

Let us be a constant and sleepless cry

For the complete satisfaction

Of our Lord Supreme.

```

15833

```

If your heart is melting

While you are singing

A soulful song,

Then it is coming

Not from the mind

But from the heart and soul. ```

15834

```

When you sing soulfully,

You will feel how high, deep

And sublime your consciousness is.

```

15835

```

If a seeker-singer imbibes

True divine nectar,

It will last and last.

```

15836

```

If we listen to the Supreme

Cheerfully,

We will make the fastest progress

In each and every field of life. ```

15837

```

If we make the fastest progress,

Naturally

We will be supremely and fully satisfied.

```

15838

```

If we are supremely and fully satisfied,

This satisfaction

Is nothing other than God Himself.

```

15839

```

If we do not have cheerfulness,

We are carrying a dead elephant

On our shoulders.

```

15840

```

God-songs definitely offer

Tremendous service

To our heart and life.

```

15841

```

God-songs

Are an express elevator

To the Supreme.

```

15842

```

Singing God-songs is like making

A telephone call on the hot line

Straight to the Supreme.

```

15843

```

Sing as part of your soulful meditation.

Automatically

Your divine qualities

Will come to the fore. ```

15844

```

God is desperately looking

And looking

For new seekers and servers

To work for Him. ```

15845

```

God is a beautiful Bird,

But His Wings are clipped

When He is not manifested on earth.

```

15846

```

Absorb the spirit

Of a divine song

To melt God’s Heart.

```

15847

```

When you sing soulfully,

God feels

That He Himself is singing

In His own Heart-Garden. ```

15848

```

Each soulful song

Is nothing short of

A special session

Of meditation. ```

15849

```

A true Master not only

Talks about progress

But proves it in his own life.

```

15850

```

A true Master is truly pleased

When each disciple

Enters into his own depth.

```

15851

```

A true Master offers sincere love

Along with his sincere criticism

Of the disciple.

```

15852

```

To sing God-songs

With a sacred feeling

Is to have spontaneous joy.

```

15853

```

Sing with beauty, purity

And simplicity

To receive God’s Heart

Of infinite Love

And God’s Soul

Of immortal Blessings. ```

15854

```

Sing with self-giving and soulfulness

To receive God’s divine Pride

In you.

```

15855

```

To achieve something

Momentous and fruitful,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

We must invoke

The Compassion-Light

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

15856

```

To manifest our Lord Beloved Supreme,

Inwardly and outwardly we must invoke

His Blessing-Light.

```

15857

```

Every day God can and does

Easily create new souls

Because He sees that

There is plenty of room

For new plants

In His Universal Heart-Garden. ```

15858

```

At every moment

Countless miracles take place

In the inner world,

But we call them mere incidents.

Yet when something unusual takes place

In the outer world,

We call it a miracle!

```

15859

```

A miracle is nothing other than

The inner light coming to the fore

To increase our faith

In our spiritual life. ```

15860

```

A miracle increases our faith

In our oneness-life

With our Inner Pilot.

```

15861

```

When God Himself manifests something

That will increase our faith in Him,

We call this a supreme miracle.

```

15862

```

We must increase our faith in God

Every day, every hour, every minute,

To make the fastest progress.

```

15863

```

Our spiritual life

Unmistakably encompasses

The outer life.

```

15864

```

We have to accept the world

To illumine and transform it into

A choice instrument

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

15865

```

When our inner qualities

Come forward,

Our outer capacities fully blossom.

```

15866

```

Our inner qualities

Are nothing other than

God’s unconditional Compassion.

```

15867

```

Our outer capacities

Are nothing other than

God’s tremendous Satisfaction.

```

15868

```

The inner life of aspiration

And the outer life of dedication

Must go together, together, together.

```

15869

```

When the highest Will wants to act,

The outer life must develop

Receptivity.

```

15870

```

When we develop receptivity,

Soulfully and devotedly we can manifest

What we have deep within.

```

15871

```

Breathlessly and unconditionally

I offer my gratitude-heart to God

For choosing me to be

An instrument of His. ```

15872

```

Identify yourself with God’s Will

To manifest His divine, supreme Will

In every action of your daily life.

```

15873

```

A spiritual seeker must give

Equal importance

To both body and soul.

```

15874

```

If we become physically strong

But spiritually weak,

We will have no peace of mind.

```

15875

```

If we become spiritually strong

But physically weak,

We will not be a fit instrument of God.

```

15876

```

When we pray and meditate,

We are not stealing God’s Strength.

We are only establishing

A free access

To everything God has and is.

```

15877

```

A truth-lover and God-server

Strives for inner awakening

As well as for world peace.

```

15878

```

When we lose enthusiasm,

Lo,

Capacity disappears.

```

15879

```

When we maintain enthusiasm,

Lo,

Capacity is extended.

```

15880

```

No cry can forever

Remain unheard

In God’s Heart-Sky.

```

15881

```

Definitely there can be roses

In my heart-garden

Without any destruction-mind-thorns.

```

15882

```

Do you want to waste your life?

If not, then keep not

Your God-surrender-bliss

Untasted. ```

15883

```

Today’s sorrowful tears

Can tomorrow reveal

Blissful cheers.

```

15884

```

If you allow your mind’s obscurity

To gain,

Then your heart’s purity

Shall wane. ```

15885

```

Every day

You must declare war

On uncomely thoughts.

```

15886

```

Real surrender

Means

The heart’s happiness-roar.

```

15887

```

Addiction to desire-life

Is nothing short of

Mind-affliction.

```

15888

```

O my Lord’s Forgiveness deep,

Keep my heart cries, keep. ```

15889

```

Why do you malign me?

My aspiration has not resigned

To ignorance-night.

```

15890

```

If you are a true God-server,

You can never have

A God-hesitation-life.

```

15891

```

The mind-investigator

Cries.

The heart-examiner

Flies and flies. ```

15892

```

Failure-days

Get depression-wages

Unsought.

```

15893

```

Either today or tomorrow

Each and every Godward race

Will receive God’s abundant Grace.

```

15894

```

A life of God-surrender

Is an umbrella against

All life-adversities.

```

15895

```

Each soulful song

Is a divine short-cut

To bring our boundless joy

To the fore

And lead us to our destination:

The Golden Shore. ```

15896

```

Where is peace?

Not in the blue skies;

Not in the vast ocean.

Peace is my next-door neighbour. ```

15897

```

Days and nights come to earth

To see us crying for God

And never to sigh.

```

15898

```

God invented me

To discover Him. ```

15899

```

My prayer-life

Knows how to devotedly lean

On God.

```

15900

```

My meditation-life

Knows how to quickly glean

From God.

```

15901

```

Mine is a bound mind

That always

Screams and screams.

```

15902

```

Mine is a free heart

That always

Beams and beams.

```

15903

```

What a rarity:

A mind of

Genuine clarity!

```

15904

```

Faith-trees

Have always

Extremely deep roots.

```

15905

```

Temptation-dances we learn

From our very old friend:

Vital.

```

15906

```

If we want to be at the Feet

Of our Lord Supreme,

Then we must voyage beyond

Our mind-horizon. ```

15907

```

A mind of God-remembrance

A heart of happiness-life.

```

15908

```

Every day

I would like to give a peace concert

To sing and play

My God-gratitude-heart-songs. ```

15909

```

O seeker,

Run fast, very fast,

To join the God-Palace-servers.

```

15910

```

God keeps His Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Always in closest touch

With our lives. ```

15911

```

Man’s philosophy of postponement

Keeps aside always

The ecstasy of enlightenment.

```

15912

```

No matter how serious our blunders are,

God does not allow us to remain

Beyond His Compassion-Reach.

```

15913

```

The divine heart

Is all identification.

The divine heart

Is telling us

To be inseparably one

With God’s Vision

And God’s Consciousness.

```

15914

```

My Lord loves

To sing and meditate

With my prayer-life.

```

15915

```

My Lord loves

To fly and fly

With my gratitude-heart.

```

15916

```

We love to play

With our ignorance-mind-armour. ```

15917

```

God loves to play

With our wisdom-heart-surrender. ```

15918

```

Only my God-gratitude-experiences

Can expedite

My Godward journey.

```

15919

```

I owe everything

To my Lord’s Compassion-Eye,

Forgiveness-Heart

And Protection-Feet. ```

15920

```

Every day

I must try very hard

To settle

My aspiration-heart’s gaze

Upon my Lord’s Feet.

```

15921

```

God never denies anybody

The opportunity

To love Him, serve Him

And please Him. ```

15922

```

No, it is not at all

A wild rumour

That God’s Arrival

Is imminent. ```

15923

```

If you have a loveless life,

Then you are bound to have

A Godless death.

```

15924

```

Pleasure-treasure

In any measure

Is dangerous and destructive.

```

15925

```

Each seeker is

God’s secret Vision

And sacred manifestation.

```

15926

```

My soul came into the world

Not to investigate

But to liberate.

```

15927

```

When I pray and meditate,

I feel that I am only

An instrument.

There is some other power

That is coming to help me,

And that power is God’s Grace. ```

15928

```

Contemplation is something

Far beyond the absolute vastness

Of meditation.

Contemplation is oneness itself. ```

15929

```

Inaction

Carries us back

To our past failures.

```

15930

```

Action

Carries us

To the dream-fulfilled realities.

```

15931

```

At long last

I have chased away

My mind’s frustration-phantom.

```

15932

```

A life of peace

Enters into

A death of bliss.

```

15933

```

Disappointed expectation:

This is what

A human life is.

```

15934

```

May my heart-sky

Be totally ignorant

Of darkness-sadness-clouds.

```

15935

```

Every day I strive to become

A choice instrument

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

15936

```

All my divine qualities

Can blossom

If I have only

A God-gratitude-heart. ```

15937

```

To my greatest joy,

All my mind-clouds

Have disappeared today.

```

15938

```

Self-doubt

Lengthens the distance

Between man and God.

```

15939

```

Be not caught

Between a desire-mind

And an aspiration-heart.

```

15940

```

Without eagerness-legs

And eagerness-eyes,

Nobody can arrive

At the Destination. ```

15941

```

Be careful:

Even a fleeting ant-desire

Can destroy

Your spiritual life. ```

15942

```

May my heart live

A thousand God-gratitude-lives. ```

15943

```

God proudly applauds

Even a tiny progress-step

Of ours.

```

15944

```

Stop not

Until you have manifested

The final God-Victory.

```

15945

```

We must all volunteer

For our inner realisation

And outer perfection.

```

15946

```

When we do not aspire,

We do feel that

We are ruthlessly chained

To a huge bondage-rock. ```

15947

```

Love-devotion-piano

I can play well,

But not my surrender-piano.

```

15948

```

There can be no temptation

When God-remembrance

Is constant and powerful.

```

15949

```

O God-servers,

I am dying to see

Your breath.

```

15950

```

God does not keep in touch with me

Nowadays.

Why?

He tells me that

I have disobeyed Him

Much more than I can ever imagine. ```

15951

```

God pleads with each and every

Unaspiring human being

To hold aloft

A world-love-peace-banner. ```

15952

```

God-devotion

And God-reward

Are the obverse and reverse

Of the God-coin. ```

15953

```

You are not a true God-lover

If you give the world

Less than your very best.

```

15954

```

He who does not dare to go

Beyond the challenges

Of ignorance-night

Will never be able to prove

That he is a choice hero-warrior

Of God. ```

15955

```

Our wisdom-light

Is only a fraction

Of the unknown Delight

Of the Supreme. ```

15956

```

The mind-king

Most powerfully

Rules.

```

15957

```

The heart-queen guides

Not only self-givingly

But also sleeplessly.

```

15958

```

If you are a student of peace today,

Then tomorrow you can become

A master exponent of peace.

```

15959

```

The Master-disciple-oneness-bond

Is indeed

A very sacred one.

```

15960

```

What causes man

To turn towards God?

His longing for God’s

Oneness-Delight. ```

15961

```

What causes man

To turn away from God?

His own self-importance.

```

15962

```

Self-sacrifice is self-sacrifice

Only when a oneness-heart-breath

Is unavailable.

If not, there is no such thing

As self-sacrifice.

```

15963

```

God does not want you to broadcast

Time and again

Your pitiful inadequacy.

```

15964

```

Your inner poverty is something

You are supposed to conquer

And not display.

```

15965

```

You must claim

Your unparalleled inheritance:

God-Compassion.

```

15966

```

A heart of soulful smile

Has indeed become

A forgotten experience

Of Paradise. ```

15967

```

What is loneliness

If not an unconscious,

Or even conscious,

Form of aloofness? ```

15968

```

God wants each and every seeker

To be fully conscious of the fact

That he is a spiritual giant

In the process of blossoming. ```

15969

```

O my mind,

Can you not develop

The habit of holiness

To be genuinely happy? ```

15970

```

If you have an indomitable faith

In your inner life,

You can challenge

The ferocious doubt-dragon

In your outer life.

```

15971

```

Discard immediately

Your mind-worn

Anxieties and worries.

```

15972

```

Discard immediately

Your heart-torn

Fears and doubts.

```

15973

```

We are running

Towards God

For His Newness.

```

15974

```

God is running

Towards us

For our uniqueness.

```

15975

```

Alas, the mind-desert

Is everywhere

To dry the heart’s

Aspiration-stream. ```

15976

```

God is always reluctant

To visit

My mind-palace.

```

15977

```

God visits

My heart-cave

On a daily basis.

```

15978

```

May my cheerful

And powerful pilgrimage

To find God

Never halt. ```

15979

```

A real service-life

Never ends,

For meditation is there

To replenish it. ```

15980

```

God is asking me

To give my doubt-mind

The earliest expiration date.

```

15981

```

Alas, how frequently

Our God-attention,

God-concentration

And God-manifestation

Waver!

```

15982

```

It is blossoming

And not brooding

That is proper meditation.

```

15983

```

To hear God’s Voice,

What we need is

An unshakable poise.

```

15984

```

My aspiration-heart

Is elated

At the very prospect of

God’s imminent Arrival. ```

15985

```

As the mind knows

How to blindfold us,

Even so,

The heart knows

How to liberate us.

```

15986

```

My heart’s God-faith teaches me

How to saturate my mind

Only with God-thoughts.

```

15987

```

The perfection of your life

Shall never blossom

If you are afraid of

Human society. ```

15988

```

When we are in deep meditation,

We realise that anything divine we do

Has a deathless essence.

```

15989

```

If I really want God’s Advice,

Then my mind and I

Must immediately rise.

```

15990

```

Practise patience every day,

At every hour, every minute

And every second,

If you want world-harmony to blossom

In your life.

```

15991

```

If we have a purity-mind,

Angels can approach us easily,

From any angle.

```

15992

```

May happiness-flowers

Sing and dance

With my aspiration-hours.

```

15993

```

Call on God, call.

No matter where you are,

He is bound to give you

His All. ```

15994

```

Every day

My heart dances

To my Lord’s

Forgiveness-Songs. ```

15995

```

May my heart-flower

Every morning float

On God’s boundless

Compassion-Sea. ```

15996

```

Alas,

When will I have the capacity

To gaze

At my Beloved Supreme

With a love-devotion-

Surrender-filled eye? ```

15997

```

The ecstasy of the heart

Is of supreme necessity

In our God-invocation-life.

```

15998

```

Every morning

I hear my Lord’s

Affection-Sweetness-Whispers

Telling me to fly upward,

Run forward and dive inward.

```

15999

```

God does not want me to separate

His holy Feet

From my heart-shrine.

```

16000

```

Tell me, God, am I the best?

“My child, who cares,

As long as I treasure you

In My Heart-Nest?” ```
