Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 17

16001

```

The golden future is blossoming

At every moment.

Watch it

With your aspiration-heart-eye. ```

16002

```

To take the most beautiful

Picture of God,

What we need

Is a devotion-camera. ```

16003

```

Devotion itself

Is an extraordinary experience

To fulfil God here on earth.

```

16004

```

God wants us

To accompany Him

Lovingly and faithfully

From epoch to epoch. ```

16005

```

Be happy, be cheerful,

Be self-giving!

Only then God will bless you

With the capacity to climb up

To God’s Heart-Summit.

```

16006

```

If you have God’s Grace

In infinite measure,

Then in the inner world

You are bound to win

Each and every race.

```

16007

```

Each day

Is a golden opportunity

To love the divine in us

And serve the divine

In others.

```

16008

```

The proper meaning

Of obedience

Is paradise.

```

16009

```

A true God-server

Does not have the word

‘Hesitation’

In his life-dictionary. ```

16010

```

God assigns

Each spiritual Master

An almost impossible task.

```

16011

```

My mind,

How cruel you are!

In season and out of season

You malign my poor, pure heart. ```

16012

```

May each human being sleep

Deep in God’s

Forgiveness-Light.

```

16013

```

Our implicit faith in God

Is the all-protection-umbrella

Against our life’s adversities.

```

16014

```

A tiny mind

Is governing

A huge body.

```

16015

```

A happiness-flower-heart

Is always found

In a self-offering life.

```

16016

```

My mind,

Smile, smile, smile,

If you really want God

To speak well of you. ```

16017

```

Cry, my heart, cry,

If you really want God

To accept you

As His sleepless server. ```

16018

```

If you walk with humility,

You are bound to inhabit divinity

In abundant measure.

```

16019

```

O my heart,

Can you not gaze upon

My Lord’s Feet

Twenty-four hours a day? ```

16020

```

May my life-boat ply

Between my heart’s gratitude-shore

And my mind’s illumination-shore.

```

16021

```

I owe everything

That I have and I am

Only to God the Compassion.

```

16022

```

God loves immensely

To play

With my surrender-life.

```

16023

```

Alas, my mind,

Can you not see

That God’s Patience-Heart

Is weeping? ```

16024

```

God tells me

That nothing can ever reside

Beyond my God-surrender-reach.

```

16025

```

Not God the Power

But God the Love

Always keeps in close touch

With my heart. ```

16026

```

When God looks at me,

He always looks

With the Eye of His Hope.

```

16027

```

When I look at God,

I must look always

With the eye of my promise.

```

16028

```

God’s Philosophy is

Immediate enlightenment.

Man’s philosophy is

Postponement, postponement,

Postponement.

```

16029

```

My aspiration-heart

Tells my mind

That God-remembrance

Is the only real joy. ```

16030

```

O my mind,

Be not a fool!

Do not miss even a fraction

Of your Master’s

Compassion-flooded lesson.

```

16031

```

God wants us to sing

The song of illumination

And not to watch

The dance of temptation. ```

16032

```

If it is real faith,

Then it is bound to have

Deep, very deep roots.

```

16033

```

In our inner life,

There are only four seasons:

Aspiration, dedication,

Revelation and manifestation. ```

16034

```

God expects us to give

Our heart-room to Him

Free of charge.

```

16035

```

It is up to us every day

Either to stand on the edge

Of attachment-sea

Or to stand on the brink

Of illumination-ocean

And then dive deep into the ocean. ```

16036

```

Each morning meditation

Is a sacred God-experience

In God’s own Way.

```

16037

```

If you are a true God-lover

And God-server,

Then tiredness has to live

Farther than the farthest

From you.

```

16038

```

At long last

My mind is flooded

With self-giving, positive thoughts.

```

16039

```

Not self-worship

But God-worship

Is my only religion.

```

16040

```

Be wise!

Your mind must never be found

On doubt’s doorstep.

```

16041

```

Unless you breathe in

Obedience-breath,

Your spiritual death

Is imminent. ```

16042

```

If you run into God today,

Then give Him immediately

Your gratitude-heart-tears.

```

16043

```

If you love God,

Then your faith-life

Can never be a fiction.

```

16044

```

My Lord,

When I talk to You,

My mind’s deliberate interruptions

Totally destroy

My God-love-experience.

```

16045

```

Every morning

My mind must pass

Its God-obedience-inspection.

```

16046

```

Every morning

My heart must pass

Its God-oneness-examination.

```

16047

```

Every morning

My life must pass

Its God-satisfaction-manifestation.

```

16048

```

In a real seeker’s spiritual life,

Doubts and suspicions are indeed

Earthquakes and eclipses.

```

16049

```

A negativity-moment

Is destined

To utter failure.

```

16050

```

God’s unconditional Love

Is the keeper

Of my heart’s mounting flame.

```

16051

```

He who depends on God

For everything

Self-givingly

Is bound to receive everything

From God

At God’s choice Hour. ```

16052

```

The mind and the heart

Can never see the real Reality

In the same way.

```

16053

```

May every morning

I fly

In my heart’s

Gratitude-sky. ```

16054

```

If gratitude-seeds

Do not germinate,

Then God-realisation

Remains an impossible task. ```

16055

```

When readiness pushes the mind

Into willingness

And willingness pushes the mind

Into eagerness,

God comes and stands

Right in front of

Readiness, willingness and eagerness.

```

16056

```

God may not forget,

God may not ignore,

But He definitely forgives.

```

16057

```

The devotion-chain

Is the strongest chain

That binds God’s Feet

To our hearts. ```

16058

```

We do not have to become a saint

To do God’s Will.

We can fulfil God’s Will

With our present life

Of teeming weaknesses

And imperfections. ```

16059

```

What we need

Is a determination-mind

To revolutionise

Our failure-life. ```

16060

```

Every day we pray to God

To give our heart

The capacity to veto

All our mind’s division-plans. ```

16061

```

My unconditional surrender-life

Proudly introduces me

To God.

```

16062

```

We must never allow

God’s Compassion-flooded Will

To recede into

The remote distance. ```

16063

```

God’s Forgiveness

Is as birthless and deathless

As God Himself.

```

16064

```

My God-obedience

Does not need any promotion.

It only needs

God-satisfaction. ```

16065

```

O my mind,

Like my heart

Go and enjoy

God’s Compassion-Feast. ```

16066

```

The cheerfulness of the heart

And the determination of the mind

Can perform any miracle

They want to. ```

16067

```

My Lord’s Love

Shall blossom inside my heart

Only when I am always available

In my heart. ```

16068

```

When meditation gives me

The God-oneness-exercise,

Only then am I perfect

In my own estimation. ```

16069

```

God does not want anybody

To come into His Heart-Land

With a visitor’s visa.

```

16070

```

A life free from all resentments

Expedites

The highest possible enlightenment.

```

16071

```

God wants to be nowhere

When I enjoy

My frustration-mind-sighs.

```

16072

```

Each aspiring human being

Is a unique creation of

God’s Transcendental Vision-Eye.

```

16073

```

There is no earthly fear

That can torment

The Heavenly soul.

```

16074

```

God has never said

That one has to be a saint

In order to please God

In God’s own Way. ```

16075

```

God’s Grace

Has infinite power

To help us empty

Our imperfection-sea. ```

16076

```

If I can serve God

Self-givingly,

Then I can be

A God-pleaser. ```

16077

```

To serve God

I need

No special qualification.

```

16078

```

A leap of faith

Will definitely have

A smooth and safe landing.

```

16079

```

If we do not have

Aspiration-dedication-chains,

Then we shall never be able

To bind God’s Heart. ```

16080

```

May my heart revolutionise

My idleness-body

And

My failure-life. ```

16081

```

Our aspiration-heart

Lovingly and affectionately

Introduces us

To our God. ```

16082

```

Everything that is in

The unaspiring mind

Can easily be misleading.

```

16083

```

We have to believe

In a higher power.

Only by believing

In a higher power

Can we go beyond and beyond

Our limited human capacity. ```

16084

```

God tells me

I must not tell anybody

That He is tired,

As we human beings are

All the time.

```

16085

```

May each breath of mine

Grow and glow

To touch the Eye

Of God’s Compassion-Tears. ```

16086

```

The human mind

And

The divine heart

Always look at life

In a different way.

```

16087

```

God and our God-surrender

To God’s Will

Will never look at reality

In a different way. ```

16088

```

Never blame God

For the depression

In your mind.

```

16089

```

If you depend on God entirely,

God will definitely guide

Your every breath

And every step. ```

16090

```

The cheerfulness of the mind

And the determination of the heart

Together can accomplish

Their God-satisfaction-task. ```

16091

```

No other exercise

Can make us as powerful

As our oneness-heart-exercise.

```

16092

```

May our morning meditations

Be as pure as

Our God-oneness-heart.

```

16093

```

Nothing gives me as much joy

As when I come and stand

At God’s Doorstep.

```

16094

```

At every moment

May my mind be

The embodiment

Of willingness. ```

16095

```

At every moment

May my heart be

The embodiment

Of enlightenment. ```

16096

```

To be a fully-blossomed heart-lotus,

What we need is

Deathless aspiration and dedication.

```

16097

```

God-obedience

Always gives us

Adamantine will-power.

```

16098

```

If it is true surrender,

Then that surrender

Does not need

Any outer promotion

Or even recognition.

```

16099

```

May my heart soar

Bravely and blissfully

In the sky

Of my God-satisfaction-heart. ```

16100

```

Although God

Is everywhere,

His Satisfaction-Heart

Is nowhere. ```

16101

```

We must shut down

Our mind’s unaspiring

Thought-life.

```

16102

```

May my life

Be a total stranger

To all resentments.

```

16103

```

The mind

That does not love God

Is indeed

A dry and withered flower. ```

16104

```

My Lord,

You always make me

Feel important

In everything that I say and do.

Such is the way

Of Your Compassion-Eye. ```

16105

```

God takes very special care

In feeding

Our gratitude-heart-tears.

```

16106

```

Fortunate is he

Who lives in

God’s Compassion-Fragrance-Heart.

```

16107

```

Disobedience

Is nothing short of

Darkness-invasion.

```

16108

```

Do you want progress?

If so, never, never

Be afraid of any obstacle

On your way. ```

16109

```

Every day God comes to me

With the hope that

He will be able to see

The beauty and fragrance

Of a new smile from me.

```

16110

```

God wants each seeker

To have an unfading

God-surrender-smile.

```

16111

```

We please God

With our simplicity-mind

And purity-heart

More than anything else. ```

16112

```

Only our sincerity-prayers

Can save us

From our aspiration-drowning life.

```

16113

```

It is we who must

Take the responsibility

For being estranged

From our soul-awareness. ```

16114

```

The very desire to be

A perfect citizen

Is indeed

A lofty God-pleasing awareness. ```

16115

```

God begs us

At every moment

To smile away

Our troubles. ```

16116

```

Nobody has the capacity

To take away

Our heart’s happiness,

Save and except

Our God-doubting mind.

```

16117

```

Our all-conquering smiles

Take birth only

In our God-fulfilment-souls.

```

16118

```

Our prayerful songs

Express the Vision

Of God’s ultimate Height.

```

16119

```

Alas, we have been serving

For countless years

Ignorance-root.

```

16120

```

My mind thinks

Of world peace.

My heart dreams

Of world peace.

And I expedite

God’s Vision-Fulfilment-Reality. ```

16121

```

Never go slowly

If you want to arrive

At the Destination.

```

16122

```

You must know what you want.

Do you want to jump

Into the unknown

Or do you want to enjoy

The pleasure-life of the known?

```

16123

```

O my mind,

When will you stop thinking

Of mundane matters?

```

16124

```

Quite often

God’s Compassion-flooded Eye

Surpasses our fondest hope.

```

16125

```

To please God in His own Way,

We must never allow

Our heart’s aspiring fire

To die away. ```

16126

```

When you are planning

To fulfil

The divine purpose,

God definitely approves of it

In His celestial Silence-Light.

```

16127

```

He who is empty of hope

Will never get

A Satisfaction-Smile

From God. ```

16128

```

Not God’s Justice-Light

But God’s Compassion-Height

Recruits His manifestation-team.

```

16129

```

The mind-boat

Quite often capsizes

Before it reaches the shore.

```

16130

```

God is so displeased

With the human mind

That He asks the divine heart

To find a burial for the mind. ```

16131

```

Upward, my heart,

If you want to see

God the Powerful.

```

16132

```

Inward, my heart,

If you want to feel

God the Peaceful.

```

16133

```

My broken heart,

You and I,

Let us incessantly

Cry and weep together

For the loss of our

Implicit faith in God. ```

16134

```

When we are in the heart,

We know how

To harmonise.

```

16135

```

When we are in the mind,

We know how

To philosophise.

```

16136

```

Yesterday

Sincerity became

A scarcity in his life.

```

16137

```

Today

Purity has become

A scarcity in his life.

```

16138

```

I am sure tomorrow

Even simplicity will become

A scarcity in his life.

```

16139

```

My mind dreams

Inner riches.

```

16140

```

My heart lives

Inner riches.

```

16141

```

A surrender-heart

Is an emperor-crown

In God’s Heart-Life.

```

16142

```

My mind,

Do not dare

To undervalue

My heart’s poise-treasure. ```

16143

```

The stronger we are

In our inner life,

The greater responsibility

We get from God. ```

16144

```

Everybody thinks

That his God-satisfaction-hurdles

Are too high.

```

16145

```

Not my outer strength

But my inner joy

Has cleared away

My mind-jungle. ```

16146

```

A God-surrender-life we need

To brave

All our ego-mind-turbulence.

```

16147

```

My Master,

Help me to take care of

My gratitude-heart-plant.

```

16148

```

A real seeker

Will try his utmost

To remain invisible

To the lower vital forces. ```

16149

```

When he saw his Master

For the first time,

His heart-eye emptied

A flood of tears. ```

16150

```

The cynicism-boat

Is bound to capsize

Long before it completes

Its voyage. ```

16151

```

Each God-serving heart

Is a fountain of joy

To God.

```

16152

```

My Lord tells me

That I shall have

A most splendid time

If I swim in the heart-river. ```

16153

```

Do not think of the past

All the time

If you want to keep yourself

Liberated from the binding chains

Of the past.

```

16154

```

The thoughts of the mind

Are always apt

To flock together.

```

16155

```

The climbing cry

Of the aspiration-heart

Can never be on sale.

```

16156

```

Never neglect

The God-responsibility

That God has entrusted you with.

```

16157

```

God’s sleepless Concern

Has made me

What I now am:

A world-oneness-heart-cry. ```

16158

```

What I need is a sunrise-heart

To run faster than the fastest

Towards my ultimate Destination.

```

16159

```

The mind loves

To concentrate

Only on itself.

```

16160

```

The heart wants

To contemplate

Only on God.

```

16161

```

O seeker,

If you want to be

A God-singer,

Then your heart-songs

You have to learn perfectly.

```

16162

```

My mind-marathon-runner

Knows no destination

Whatsoever.

```

16163

```

O my vital,

You are such a fool

That you never want

To abandon

Anxiety-worry-baggage.

```

16164

```

My gratitude-heart

Is ignorant

Of my mind’s zigzag course.

```

16165

```

Our aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Must fly and reach

The highest God-excellence. ```

16166

```

Ingratitude and disobedience-songs

Hurt God

Ruthlessly.

```

16167

```

The easiest way

To meet God’s Heart

Is to have a life

Of unconditional surrender. ```

16168

```

My Lord, do tell me,

What is the thing that I need most?

“My child, determination,

Determination, determination!” ```

16169

```

No failure

Can be

A lifetime sentence.

```

16170

```

My pride has blinded me.

Therefore I miss

All the beauty,

Inner and outer,

Of the world.

```

16171

```

I have many rooms,

But my heart-room

Is where I always smile.

```

16172

```

I have many rooms,

But my mind-room

Is where I doubt, suspect

And destroy all my joy. ```

16173

```

My Lord,

Every day, every hour

I hear the sweet whispers

Of Your Compassion-Eye. ```

16174

```

When I invoke my Lord,

He immediately comes down

And inspects the depth

Of my heart

To see if it is all pure.

```

16175

```

My soul-fruits,

My heart-flowers

And my life-leaves

Breathe only

The breath of God-love.

```

16176

```

We have to dig and dig

And go far beyond

The human mind

To enter into

The divine heart.

```

16177

```

When we choose

Our aspiration-heart,

Everything is bound

To go right. ```

16178

```

My heart’s eyes

Are always appreciating

And admiring

The beauty and the fragrance

Of the world-heart.

```

16179

```

No disharmony

Can ever abide inside

A genuine aspiring heart.

```

16180

```

Heaven’s bliss-panorama

Shall be yours

If your life is a sleepless obedience

To God’s Will. ```

16181

```

Each spiritual Master

Is an everlasting blessing

On earth

For his spiritual children. ```

16182

```

If you live the desire-life,

Then yours will be

An aspiration-deficiency-life.

```

16183

```

You have to be

Physically, vitally,

Mentally, psychically strong

If you want to walk along

Eternity’s surrender-road.

```

16184

```

Only the unaspiring vital

Can murmur against

God’s adamantine Will.

```

16185

```

Doubt

Is life’s

Heavy roadblock.

```

16186

```

My surrender-heart

And God’s Compassion-Eye

Are extremely fond of each other.

```

16187

```

God’s Satisfaction-Eye

Approached me

The moment I discontinued

My friendship with the doubting mind. ```

16188

```

My compassionate Lord Supreme

Is always eager to escort me

Far beyond the boundaries

Of impossibility. ```

16189

```

Alas,

We try to please God

Without seeking God’s

Wisdom-Light

First.

```

16190

```

At long last I have learned

How to adore and worship

The golden dust

Of my Lord Supreme’s Feet. ```

16191

```

How I wish I could have

An insatiable hunger

To please God

In His own Way! ```

16192

```

When we are in

A prayerful consciousness,

We see that life is full of

Divine promises. ```

16193

```

Be not afraid of Truth.

Truth is your true friend

And not

Your veritable torturer. ```

16194

```

God’s Compassion-Heart

Will never examine

The sincerity of our worship.

```

16195

```

My Lord asks my heart

Not to weep.

He says that before long

He will grow peace-plants

Inside my heart.

```

16196

```

Disobedience

Uproots our heart’s

Aspiration-tree.

```

16197

```

My whole purpose in life

Is to be of service to mankind.

This I can do only

By offering inspiration

On the strength of my oneness.

```

16198

```

What can the doubting mind

Do to me?

The doubting mind

Turns me into

A helpless seeker.

```

16199

```

Can you not see that

God is crying and smiling

Only for you?

```

16200

```

We are

What we secretly

And sacredly have

Deep within us. ```

16201

```

Never believe in your mind,

Specially the self-doubting mind,

If you want to make any progress

In your spiritual life. ```

16202

```

My Lord,

Everything else may disappear

From my life,

But do not allow

My gratitude-heart-tears

To disappear from me. ```

16203

```

If it is love unconditional,

Then it can overcome

All barriers.

```

16204

```

An aspiration-heart

Does not need

Any outer language

To communicate. ```

16205

```

There can be

No true love

Without true devotion.

```

16206

```

The soul gives

Infinitely more importance

To our inner needs

Than our outer deeds. ```

16207

```

Every day,

Either consciously

Or unconsciously,

The mind tries to deceive

The heart.

```

16208

```

Never allow

Your hope-flowers

To wither.

```

16209

```

Undivine qualities

Can be contagious,

But they cannot spread all-where

Like the divine qualities. ```

16210

```

If you are a true seeker,

Then every day you have to be

In a very close connection

With your soul. ```

16211

```

I meet my indifference-mind

With my kindness

And patience-heart.

```

16212

```

Injustice and tragedies

Are to be found everywhere

In the world.

```

16213

```

Hope is

Our inner beauty.

Hope is

Our outer sweetness. ```

16214

```

We can never succeed

In our spiritual life

If we do not develop

An insatiable thirst

For God.

```

16215

```

May our heart’s

Genuine sincerity

Try to cure

The suffering humanity. ```

16216

```

Our outer rivalries

Destroy

Our inner beauties.

```

16217

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Showed me the way

To come into the world.

```

16218

```

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Heart

Will show me the way

To my Heaven-Home.

```

16219

```

It seems certainty

Is a perfect stranger

To this world.

```

16220

```

O world,

God’s Patience

Is working for me.

You do not have to worry

About me.

```

16221

```

Infinite

Is our promise.

Infinitesimal

Is our fulfilment. ```

16222

```

When falsehood

Proclaims,

Truth remains silent.

```

16223

```

When Truth

Proclaims,

Falsehood frowns.

```

16224

```

When God wants

To be entertained,

He always invites my heart

And never my mind, vital

And body.

```

16225

```

Alas, every day

We give God

Only our leftover concern

And satisfaction. ```

16226

```

Every day

My Lord compassionately

Monitors my life

So that it does not loiter. ```

16227

```

Alas, our hearts

Have become victims

To our minds’ ruthless torture.

```

16228

```

Alas, when will I be tired

Of my self-styled

Glorification-mind?

```

16229

```

I do not have any faith

In the mind’s surrender,

For it can easily revolt.

```

16230

```

May my desire-life

Be a stranger

To my aspiration-heart.

```

16231

```

If you live in your aspiration-heart,

Then you are bound to develop

The capacity to excel.

```

16232

```

God’s unconditional Compassion

Has performed

A stupendous miracle

For me. ```

16233

```

My mind no longer crawls

But runs

In my spiritual life.

```

16234

```

God the Justice

Is cross with me today

Because I have not really valued

God the Compassion. ```

16235

```

My God-obedience

Is my life’s

Fear-extinguisher.

```

16236

```

When God opens the door,

He does not allow our fear

To accompany us.

He allows only our confidence

To accompany us.

```

16237

```

A God-thinker

Has two little legs

To walk.

```

16238

```

A God-lover

Has two mighty wings

To fly.

```

16239

```

God loves and treasures

Our golden dreams

Infinitely more

Than we do. ```

16240

```

My God-intensity-tears

Disappear

When I find myself

In a pleasure-earth-society. ```

16241

```

God wants us to realise

That our ups and downs

Belong to Him only.

```

16242

```

God replaces

Our humility

With His own Power.

```

16243

```

Any weakness

On any plane

Is lack of faith.

```

16244

```

If we are afraid

Of God-examination,

It will be our soul’s

Mightiest frustration. ```

16245

```

Since our life is made of

Only a few days and nights,

We must love and serve God

To the greatest extent

Of our capacity.

```

16246

```

When we allow the doubting mind

To come forward,

Our imagination-bird’s wings

Are clipped

And its flight is over.

```

16247

```

Alas, we prefer

Our mind-safety

To our soul-assurance.

```

16248

```

The human in us

Is quite comfortable

In our mind-prison.

```

16249

```

The freedom of the mind

Is indeed

The prison of the soul.

```

16250

```

The divine in us

Is living incognito

Only for a short while.

```

16251

```

If you become

A love-giver,

Then God will become

Your praise-spreader. ```

16252

```

When God’s Compassion-Eye

Works in and through us,

Everything is impeccable.

```

16253

```

Every day

I must keep my mind’s enthusiasm

At its peak

To keep my Lord Supreme happy. ```

16254

```

God does not mind

If you criticise Him.

But if you criticise

His dear devotees,

You are bound to face

His Anger-Eye. ```

16255

```

God laughs at us

When each individual

Tells God

That he loves God only. ```

16256

```

Alas, we are such fools!

In season and out of season

We cherish a grudge

Against humanity. ```

16257

```

If God wants you

To play a special role

In His Cosmic Play,

Then He will never

Relieve you

Of responsibility. ```

16258

```

The mind

A public problem-maker.

```

16259

```

A surrender-life

Is the beginning

And the end

Of your journey. ```

16260

```

Go forward!

Stave off the feelings

Of regret. ```

16261

```

Believers will always believe

And

Disbelievers will never believe.

But my faith in God

Is infinitely stronger

And more fruitful

Than any proof I can offer.

```

16262

```

A purity-heart

Does not need a lawyer

To prove its authenticity.

```

16263

```

Human life is nothing short of

A desire-expectation

Which ends in futility.

```

16264

```

The human mind

Desires to remain

Ever a stranger

To peace. ```

16265

```

Every day

God makes His Prayer

Shorter and shorter

For humanity. ```

16266

```

Every day

God shortens

The meditation-hour

For humanity. ```

16267

```

We must not remain

Always on the surface.

We must dive deep

To see the deepest dimensions

Of our aspiration-heart.

```

16268

```

The human life

Is like a shuttle

Between

Blooming doubts

And

Blossoming faith. ```

16269

```

Do not walk

On the desire-tightrope.

You are bound to fall down

And injure yourself badly. ```

16270

```

Life has to become

An endless enlightenment,

But it has become

Endless postponement

Instead.

```

16271

```

Practise spirituality.

If not, your life will remain

A lifeless heart.

```

16272

```

Self-doubt diminishes

Your own divine qualities

Sooner than the soonest.

```

16273

```

May God’s Will

At every moment

Take the place

Of my earth-bound wishes. ```

16274

```

Goodness:

My heart knows

And loves it

Now and forever. ```

16275

```

A spiritual life

Cannot be separated

From optimism.

```

16276

```

God never takes us seriously

Until He really sees

That our earth-existence

Is only for Him. ```

16277

```

At every moment

God wants me to look

Towards the infinite Beyond.

```

16278

```

My Lord,

Do You really want to please me?

If so,

Turn me into

The dust of Your golden Feet.

```

16279

```

Infinite is the distance

Between man’s speech

And deeds.

```

16280

```

At every moment

Perfection desires us

To be perfect citizens

Of the world. ```

16281

```

If God should ever withdraw

His Concern for humanity,

Humanity would go back

To its ancient beasthood. ```

16282

```

Tolerance always

Brings forth

A bumper crop.

```

16283

```

Ingratitude will always

Remain indebted

To God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

16284

```

Every day I invite

My Lord Supreme

To come to my heart-garden.

To my greatest surprise,

Every day He comes.

```

16285

```

What is God-obedience,

If not your best

Life-preserver?

```

16286

```

Patience

Brings forth peace

In abundant measure.

```

16287

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Holds my surrender-life

In its divine embrace.

```

16288

```

The human mind

Is always unjust

To God’s

Compassion-flooded Will. ```

16289

```

My surrender-heart

Looks at only one place:

God’s Beauty-Fragrance-Feet.

```

16290

```

My gratitude-heart

Is leading me to the Feet

Of my Lord’s infinite Bliss.

```

16291

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do fill my mind to the brim

With Your Surrender-Light.

```

16292

```

Any problem

That God faces

Is supremely bewildering.

```

16293

```

Faith always brings

Deeper faith

To the fore.

```

16294

```

God cradles

My aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

In His Satisfaction-Delight. ```

16295

```

My gratitude-heart

God Himself preserves

For my fastest progress

And His mightiest Success. ```

16296

```

Do not sleep!

Can you not see that

God is talking to you,

Trying to save you

From your ignorance-sleep?

```

16297

```

Whatever the Inner Pilot says

Is always

Blessingful and blissful.

```

16298

```

Retirement is not imposed

By God’s Will,

For God wants each life

To sing

The message of enlightenment.

```

16299

```

Patience pulls us

Fast, very fast

To Eternity’s vastness.

```

16300

```

When I am in my heart,

I am allowed to embrace

My Lord Supreme.

```

16301

```

When I am in my mind,

God does not allow

My mind or me

To touch and disgrace Him. ```

16302

```

The mind always enjoys

Fighting

With the heart.

```

16303

```

The heart is always eager

To embrace

The mind.

```

16304

```

My Lord,

My soul and my heart

Every day offer me to You

With a new hope

And a new promise.

```

16305

```

Each and every word

From the Heart

Of my Lord Supreme

Blesses my life abundantly. ```

16306

```

If you live in your heart,

That means

You are spiritually smart.

```

16307

```

If you are in your heart,

That means you are asking

Your mind

To quickly depart. ```

16308

```

In the spiritual life,

We need only the beauty

And the fragrance

Of our aspiration-heart

To please God in His own Way.

```

16309

```

If you want to satisfy God

At every moment,

Then never respond

To your mind’s wishes. ```

16310

```

Did I tell you

That every day

God rescues me

From the abysmal abyss? ```

16311

```

Each heart

Is a temple

Of God-blossoming silence.

```

16312

```

The doubting mind

Has to take the final exit

From ignorance-stage.

```

16313

```

The outer life

Is nothing but

A desire-show.

```

16314

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do make

Even a short appearance

At my heart-shrine. ```

16315

```

Unhappiness

Is the result

Of my self-created chains.

```

16316

```

If we do not have

Faith in God,

Our life’s will-power

Will suffer from

A paralytic stroke.

```

16317

```

If you are

A sincere seeker,

Then you must bring pride

To dust. ```

16318

```

Usually, when we enter

Into the spiritual life,

We take a long pilgrimage

Of many incarnations

To realise God,

But there are a few exceptions. ```

16319

```

Every day

A seeker must offer

Endless gratitude-thoughts

To the Supreme. ```

16320

```

It is always unsafe

To take

A doubt-boat-journey.

```

16321

```

When I live

An unconditional life,

I enjoy the paradise

Of perfect happiness. ```

16322

```

Our heart’s peace-prayers

Have the capacity

To reach the farthest corners

Of the globe. ```

16323

```

Jump, my mind,

Jump into the sparkling

Enthusiasm-river!

```

16324

```

Self-mastery tells me,

“I have.”

God-discovery tells me,

“I eternally am.” ```

16325

```

If you are a wise seeker,

Then you must never lose touch

With your soul.

```

16326

```

The mind-curtain

Has to be torn open

For good.

```

16327

```

May my heart-boat

Every day sail and sail

To God’s Satisfaction-Shore.

```

16328

```

A true God-server rightly thinks

That his pleasure-rest-life

Is the most severe punishment.

```

16329

```

Doubt-waves are available

Everywhere,

But alas,

Where are the faith-shores? ```

16330

```

God Himself records

All my soulful calls

In His Eternity’s Book.

```

16331

```

What is the human mind?

The human mind

Is nothing short of

An unwillingness-fort. ```

16332

```

Nobody suffers more than God

When it is a matter of man’s

Indifference-silence.

```

16333

```

Our earth-gardens

Need peace-downpour

From Heaven.

```

16334

```

Disobedience

Defiance-poison.

```

16335

```

The Master

And his compassion-eye

Cannot be separated —

Never! ```

16336

```

The heart-swimmers

Eventually arrive

At the Golden Shore.

```

16337

```

Not the frustration-night

But the aspiration-sun

Must travel the whole world.

```

16338

```

The unaspiring mind

Represents the past.

The aspiring heart

Represents not only the present

But also the future.

```

16339

```

A doubting mind

Is bound to fly

In endless hesitation-circles.

```

16340

```

A devotion-heart

Is nothing other than

A bliss-intoxicated life.

```

16341

```

The God-searching mind

Is helped

By the meditation of the heart

For liberation from the mind’s

Thought-treadmill.

```

16342

```

May my aspiring heart

Every day enjoy

Soaring soul-songs

Of Infinity’s Melody. ```

16343

```

The eagerness of the heart

Always tries to give the mind

A God-willingness-push.

```

16344

```

Do not blame God,

Do not defame God

For your abrupt spiritual descent.

```

16345

```

God feels miserable

When we fall behind,

Far behind,

Our God-pleasing soul. ```

16346

```

We do not realise

That when we do not pray and meditate,

We are nothing short of

Spiritual criminals. ```

16347

```

Insiders constantly

Fear outsiders.

Outsiders constantly

Defy insiders. ```

16348

```

Do not fall behind my heart,

O my mind,

If you really want to be happy.

```

16349

```

When you look through the window

Of aspiration,

You are bound to see

God the Realisation. ```

16350

```

Alas, I do not know

How to deal with

Shameless disobedience-seekers.

```

16351

```

Each aspiring soul

Has a most fascinating

And illumining story

To tell. ```

16352

```

My Lord,

May I bask every morning

In Your Blessing-Smile.

```

16353

```

May my mind’s inspiration

And my heart’s aspiration

Illumine my mind’s cloudy day.

```

16354

```

Every day

A seeker has to try to stay

In the flow

Of higher consciousness. ```

16355

```

O seeker,

Fire your mind-supremacy-boss.

Have a new boss: your heart,

Who has ecstasy

In measureless measure.

```

16356

```

When you enter the heart-temple

Through the devotion-door,

You are bound to see

That God has been waiting for you. ```

16357

```

God wants you

To serve and serve

And never, never swerve.

```

16358

```

Our faith-bird dances

To our God-pleasing

Heart-songs.

```

16359

```

Today’s aspiration-boat

Must land

At tomorrow’s dedication-harbour.

```

16360

```

True humility

Is an elephant-strength

That likes to walk lightly.

```

16361

```

Every day

Is a blessingful birth

Of a new dawn.

```

16362

```

The undivine

And hostile forces

Are quite surprisingly

Attractive. ```

16363

```

God does not want the Master

To be frustrated

Or doomed to disappointment

When trusted disciples

Astonishingly misbehave.

```

16364

```

I am safe and perfect

Only when I live

In my Master’s heart-grip.

```

16365

```

When eagerness flows,

Fulness grows. ```

16366

```

O seeker,

Do not allow your enthusiasm

To stall

In your mind’s milieu. ```

16367

```

Both primitives and sophisticates

Abound

In this world.

```

16368

```

In the beginning

The inner divinity murmurs,

And then it roars.

```

16369

```

My soul

Was painfully embarrassed

When my mind

Disobeyed God. ```

16370

```

My mind

Deliberately plays host

To unwanted

And undeserving guests. ```

16371

```

How can you receive God

If your heart-smile

Is unavailable?

```

16372

```

The boomerang-thoughts

Shall return to your mind

If you do not allow your heart-light

To enter into your mind. ```

16373

```

Alas, I do not know

How I can prevent

My mind-unwillingness

From dogging me. ```

16374

```

Unhappiness broods

Because we do not allow

Happiness to blossom.

```

16375

```

God’s Forgiveness

Gives us full freedom

To do the right thing

From now on. ```

16376

```

Negativity at best

Surrenders

To compromise.

```

16377

```

The human mind

Is definitely useful

Only when it is faithful

And truthful. ```

16378

```

God wants

Each and every seeker

To be a God-exponent.

```

16379

```

Repetition of God’s Name

Can only strengthen you

And never weaken you.

```

16380

```

God compassionately feeds us,

But do we adequately heed?

Never!

```

16381

```

To believe in God

Is to part from

Ignorance-disaster.

```

16382

```

Age

Is no barrier

To an eagerness-hero.

```

16383

```

Each seeker

Has to love and serve God

In his own inimitable way.

```

16384

```

We are crying for newness

And fulness.

Therefore, we must not be

The slaves

Of our tiredness.

```

16385

```

Even by ordinary standards,

Our aspiration-heart

Has no parallel

In our spiritual life. ```

16386

```

Let us call a halt

To this nonsense

That the transformation

Of the mind

Is an impossible task.

```

16387

```

Our life

Is a life of disobedience.

Therefore, disgust

Is our soul’s name. ```

16388

```

Do not waste time,

Do not!

For only this moment

Is granted to you. ```

16389

```

My expectation-greed

My Lord’s exasperation-need.

```

16390

```

God wants me to keep

His correspondence

With my heart

Extremely secret. ```

16391

```

Never go back!

Ecstasy is always

A future song.

```

16392

```

No matter what

The spiritual Master does

For his children,

Ingratitude greets him. ```

16393

```

The human in me cries

And

The divine in me sighs

At my stupidity. ```

16394

```

My Lord Supreme,

In our own inimitable way,

We shall live inside

Your Benediction-Heart. ```

16395

```

God wants me to tell Him

How many God-eagerness-hearts

I have touched

And not

How many God-curiosity-minds.

```

16396

```

To believe in God

Is indeed

The mightiest relief.

```

16397

```

Your hesitation-mask

Will not allow you to come

To your real destination.

```

16398

```

We must follow God

As long and as far

As He leads us.

```

16399

```

Willingness

Must travel

To the endless distance.

```

16400

```

May my heartbeat

All the time dream of

God-Victory-Dream-Sail.

```

16401

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Eternity’s Compassion-Eye

Is all I have.

```

16402

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Immortality’s Forgiveness-Heart

Is all I need.

```

16403

```

My self-pity

Magnifies

Others’ faults.

```

16404

```

My Lord,

May I be reborn

In the cradle

Of sweet dreams. ```

16405

```

The human vital

Has to be liberated

From frustration-demons.

```

16406

```

No human being

Can forgive the unforgivable.

But God alone can and does

Forgive the unforgivable. ```

16407

```

Alas, the unaspiring mind

Always puts a damper

On everything

That the aspiring heart does. ```

16408

```

Doubt prolongs the distance

Between man’s aspiration-heart

And God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

16409

```

May each God-seeker

Blossom

In devotion-songs.

```

16410

```

I must without fail

Unyoke myself

From the age-old

Ignorance-bondage. ```

16411

```

God tells me

That He truly loves

My two flaming devotion-eyes.

```

16412

```

The human in us

Loves

To compete.

```

16413

```

The divine in us

Loves

To complete.

```

16414

```

God loves to play

Hide-and-seek

With my heart-tears.

```

16415

```

The obedience

Of the heart

Is fragrant.

```

16416

```

The disobedience

Of the mind

Is flagrant.

```

16417

```

Whenever we go

To do something

For humanity,

We must receive full authority

First from God.

```

16418

```

When I am extremely strict

With myself,

God becomes

Softer than the softest. ```

16419

```

As expectations end

In frustrations,

Even so, God-illumining dreams

End in God-fulfilling realities. ```

16420

```

It seems that

The mind enjoys

A thick fog of confusion.

```

16421

```

My top priority

My perfection-manifestation.

```

16422

```

Feed faith sleeplessly.

You will find yourself

Out of doubt’s territory.

```

16423

```

The silence-fragrance

Of the aspiration-heart

Remains unparalleled.

```

16424

```

God does not want

His children to remain

Outside His vast

Forgiveness-Territory. ```

16425

```

Sooner or later,

The expectation-boat

Is bound to capsize.

```

16426

```

A life of service

Enables the body

To make the fastest progress.

```

16427

```

A God-hungry heart

Is he who has

Ever-increasing tears

For God. ```

16428

```

Each God-Victory-singer

Must learn without fail

Obedience-songs.

```

16429

```

To save us,

God at times

Even begs us.

```

16430

```

God literally runs

To our heart-garden

To enjoy

Its exquisite beauty. ```

16431

```

A seeker’s heart

Is always stronger

Than his arms.

```

16432

```

Each day of self-discipline

Eventually becomes easier,

Infinitely easier.

```

16433

```

God-obedience

And

God-faith

Can never be separated. ```

16434

```

My gratitude-heart

Is indeed

A source of inspiration

To my Lord Supreme. ```

16435

```

God pushes

My mind

Vehemently.

```

16436

```

God pulls

My heart

Ceaselessly.

```

16437

```

We are so fortunate

That God’s Compassion-Eye

Is infinitely stronger

Than His Justice-Hands. ```

16438

```

When we live

In our aspiration-heart,

We come to realise

That God’s Answers

Precede all our questions.

```

16439

```

Not God’s Greatness

But God’s Goodness

I wish to see

In every face I meet. ```

16440

```

The joy

Of believing

Is unsurpassable.

```

16441

```

God is

Never my teacher

To examine me.

```

16442

```

God is

My private tutor

To help me learn everything

Most satisfactorily. ```

16443

```

With our aspiration-heart

And dedication-life,

God wants us to enjoy

The mountain-top experiences. ```

16444

```

Music that is found in silence

Easily will be able

To conquer the heart

Of the entire world. ```

16445

```

We learn to love God

Only by loving.

There is no other way.

```

16446

```

Prayer loves

To watch

The Greatness of God.

```

16447

```

Meditation loves

To feel and grow into

The likeness of God.

```

16448

```

Obedience is the purest,

Easiest and best

Way of life.

```

16449

```

Be always slow

To judge others. ```

16450

```

Be always fast,

Very fast,

In consciously becoming one

With the tears and smiles

Of this entire world.

```

16451

```

Be quick, be quick,

If you sincerely and really want

To perfect yourself.

```

16452

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Have no expiration date.

```

16453

```

If you pay all your attention

To miracles,

Then you will be the one to lose

In the battle of life. ```

16454

```

Not the mind but the heart

Is a genuine authority

On happiness, newness

And fulness. ```

16455

```

Every morning without fail

We must rise at our Lord’s

Victory-Trumpet-Call.

```

16456

```

Each mind has to be liberated

From the storms

Of ruthlessly restless desires.

```

16457

```

Humility-foundation

Is extremely solid

And everlasting.

```

16458

```

We all have

To smash asunder

The self-attachment-pride-mountain.

```

16459

```

Detach yourself

From yourself. ```

16460

```

May every breath

Of my heart

Be a God-song.

```

16461

```

An uncontrollable mind

Is what

A human being is.

```

16462

```

Do not pay

Any attention

To your ego-mind.

```

16463

```

Pay all attention

To your

Oneness-heart.

```

16464

```

For us,

Everything

Is an impediment.

```

16465

```

For God,

Everything

Is the blossom

Of attainment. ```

16466

```

The supremacy

Of the division-mind

We all know.

```

16467

```

The intimacy

Of the oneness-heart

We all must learn.

```

16468

```

God tells my heart

Never to stand

Near an unwillingness-mind.

```

16469

```

From time immemorial,

This world of ours

Has been spiritually impoverished.

```

16470

```

What I need

Is a burning desire

To unlearn

All that I have learned

From the desire-mind.

```

16471

```

Be not shackled any more

By the unaspiring

And unwilling past.

```

16472

```

The unaspiring vital

Quite often enjoys

A demonstration

Of wild defiance. ```

16473

```

Wherever you go,

Your mind must carry

A pure vibration.

```

16474

```

If you have an iron resolve,

Then your destination

Cannot remain

A far cry. ```

16475

```

Quite often the mind suffers

From the agonising

God-Grace-disbelief.

```

16476

```

Do not go

To the land of self-oblivion,

Never!

```

16477

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Immediately responds

To distress signals.

```

16478

```

May my heart’s

Sorrow-songs

Become my soul’s

Delight-melodies. ```

16479

```

O ancient

God-lovers,

Where are you?

```

16480

```

O modern

God-philosophers,

Where are you not?

```

16481

```

I must bring back to life

Once more

My heart’s God-devotion-seed.

```

16482

```

God does respond

To our heart’s

Melancholy-signals.

```

16483

```

Do not reject the aggressive

And destructive vital.

Ask your vital to become

Constructive and dynamic.

Your vital will do

Many good things for you. ```

16484

```

God-obedience

Is not the very end.

It is just

The starting point. ```

16485

```

God is proud of me

Precisely because

Every day I dream

Golden God-dreams. ```

16486

```

We must sleeplessly

And breathlessly

Seek to learn what pleases

Our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

16487

```

A true God-lover

Does not mind

When his weaknesses

Are exposed. ```

16488

```

To me,

A God-prayer is

God-praise.

```

16489

```

To me,

A God-meditation is

God-discovery.

```

16490

```

When my hope sleeps,

My Lord

Comes to me.

```

16491

```

When my reality wakes,

I go

To my Lord Supreme.

```

16492

```

Sympathise with the suffering

Of your enemies.

This is indeed a secret and sacred way

To make the fastest progress. ```

16493

```

When God’s Hour finally strikes,

There can be no

Acceptable excuse.

```

16494

```

O my treacherous mind,

Can you not see

What you have done

To my vital and body? ```

16495

```

The Supreme uses His Will-Power

When He is willing

To give you something.

But you also have to be willing

To receive it.

```

16496

```

The day I do not please God

In His own Way

Is the saddest day

In my Lord’s Heart-Calendar. ```

16497

```

My Lord,

My mind is beyond my control.

But please, please

Never allow my heart

To go astray

Like my mind. ```

16498

```

If love of God is permanent,

Then failure

Can never be destined.

```

16499

```

My mind,

You are such a fool

That you want to lead me

Without knowing how to guide me. ```

16500

```

He who laughs

At the excessive obedience

Of the God-lover

Is unforgivable,

For there is no such thing

As excessive obedience. ```

16501

```

May each thought

Of mine

Be a life-transforming dream.

```

16502

```

God’s choice warriors fight

Against the darkest ignorance-night

For God’s Satisfaction.

```

16503

```

The Master is an all-crying heart

And an all-illumining smile

From Heaven.

```

16504

```

Each progress-step of a seeker

Is thunderously applauded

By God Himself.

```

16505

```

The soul can easily

Escape

All ignorance-snares.

```

16506

```

During meditation

The mind-room has to be

Totally locked.

```

16507

```

A devotion-heart

Is run by

Spirituality-electricity.

```

16508

```

When we receive

A happiness-certificate

From the soul,

It lasts for a very, very long time. ```

16509

```

Each prayer

Shortens

Our God-distance.

```

16510

```

Each meditation

Sees no distance

Between man and God.

```

16511

```

A powerful meditation

Can liberate us

From thought-torture.

```

16512

```

My obedience-moments

Are God’s

Satisfaction-Smiles.

```

16513

```

I must find myself

Always inside my Master’s

Fragrance-heart-garden.

```

16514

```

Every day I soulfully pray

For my Lord’s

Compassion-Heritage.

```

16515

```

Do not live

In the mind’s

Division-world.

```

16516

```

Live

In the heart’s

Oneness-ecstasy.

```

16517

```

God’s Justice-Light

Does not use

God’s Compassion-Microscope.

```

16518

```

God does not want me

To destroy my ego.

He wants my ego to be

God’s most obedient slave. ```

16519

```

Trust me, my Lord,

Only once more.

From now on

I shall never fail You. ```

16520

```

A failure-life is forgiven,

But not

A reluctance-mind.

```

16521

```

Whether I believe it or not,

My thoughts affect the world

Immediately.

```

16522

```

My Lord,

Were You ever a seeker?

“My child,

I am Eternity’s Seeker.” ```

16523

```

My Lord,

Why is my realisation hiding?

“My child,

Your realisation is hiding

Because your heart is not crying.”

```

16524

```

I give all importance

To the divine

In me.

```

16525

```

I offer all gratitude

To the Supreme

In me.

```

16526

```

During the day

I am

A God-soldier-life.

```

16527

```

At night

I am

A God-seeker-heart.

```

16528

```

Each positive thought

Carries with it

The beauty and power

Of cheerfulness. ```

16529

```

Meditation intensifies

Our sweetness-oneness-feelings

For God.

```

16530

```

An intense God-lover

Can never sleep through

The God-Alarm.

```

16531

```

I am who I am.

I am definitely

A God-surrender-tree-leaf.

```

16532

```

Aspiration

The heart’s forte.

```

16533

```

God has special Love

For my moment-to-moment

God-satisfaction-effort.

```

16534

```

I do not have faith

In my mind’s certainty —

Not at all!

```

16535

```

I never thought that

My Master’s nectar-eye

Would fulfil and satisfy me

All at once. ```

16536

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

My spirituality-alphabet teacher.

```

16537

```

God’s Justice-Light

My life-university professor.

```

16538

```

God never does

His research work

In any mind-laboratory,

No matter how developed

The mind is.

```

16539

```

My unwillingness-mind

Immediately disagrees

With my willing heart.

```

16540

```

Your heart and your life

Know what prayer and meditation are.

Prayer and meditation

Are the Life-Breath of God. ```

16541

```

Has a negativity-mind

Ever gained anything special?

No, never!

```

16542

```

My gratitude-heart has always been

The first visitor

To my Lord’s golden Feet.

```

16543

```

Your sterling faith

Is bound to be reflected

In your Heaven-climbing

Aspiration-eyes. ```

16544

```

Pray and meditate

For the joy

Of selfless inner running.

```

16545

```

Every morning God comes

To wipe your tears,

But only on rare occasions

Does He succeed. ```

16546

```

An unaspiring mind

Means a non-stop

Ignorance-train.

```

16547

```

My illumination-soul

And my aspiration-heart

Live in the selfsame room.

```

16548

```

My heart’s peace-tree

Has been felled by

My mind’s frustration-storms.

```

16549

```

We are

Our

Aspiration-valley.

```

16550

```

God is

God’s

Satisfaction-Summit.

```

16551

```

If we remember

All our good qualities

And all the good things

We have done,

Then we will receive

Tremendous inner strength and joy. ```

16552

```

If you are a great aspirant,

Then God will bring down

His Satisfaction-Summit

For you. ```

16553

```

Mankind’s self-offering

Shockingly limited.

```

16554

```

The mind does not know

It is cherishing

A desire-futility-life.

```

16555

```

May my life

Every day remain a verb

And not a noun.

```

16556

```

If you truly love God

In all sincerity,

Then you can never act

In accordance

With your lower vital.

```

16557

```

Alas, the human mind

Treasures,

Either consciously or unconsciously,

Thoughts that are quite

Detrimental.

```

16558

```

The unaspiring human beings:

Purposelessly they come,

Purposelessly they go

Their own way. ```

16559

```

An embittered mind

Cannot make

Even an iota of progress.

```

16560

```

When we obey

The dictates of the mind,

We see that the path of the mind

Is full of pitfalls. ```

16561

```

Like my heart,

May my mind also live

In receptivity-silence.

```

16562

```

When our self-offering

Comes to the fore,

Loneliness

Is bound to disappear. ```

16563

```

Retirement

Does not necessarily mean

Pleasure-enjoyment.

```

16564

```

Retirement

Is a new entrance

Into a new world.

```

16565

```

Every morning

My Lord Supreme moves around

The sacred field

Of my heart. ```

16566

```

God forgives the mind

Only when it stops playing

The self-doubt-game.

```

16567

```

Not our desire-life

But our indifference-mind

Has distanced us

From God. ```

16568

```

God the Guest

Enjoys my heart-cave

And not my mind-palace.

```

16569

```

Instead of trying all the time

To be a man minus desires,

Try to be all the time

A man plus aspirations. ```

16570

```

Remember your highest meditation.

Then with your determination

And eagerness,

Give life to that imagination. ```

16571

```

Always try to conceal

Everything that you have

And you are

From the mind. ```

16572

```

Always happily,

Self-givingly and proudly

Reveal yourself to the heart.

```

16573

```

O my mind,

God has not appointed you

To sound the depth of your soul.

That is God’s task. ```

16574

```

Every day

My heart prays to God

To embolden my life

To live only for God. ```

16575

```

The human mind

Is utterly stupid

When it carries,

Quite willingly,

The heavy burden of resentment.

```

16576

```

God compels the unaspiring mind

To open Eternity’s Door

For the heart.

```

16577

```

If you are a true seeker,

Your true Master

Is definitely ordained.

```

16578

```

The mind

Is always concerned

About its reputation.

```

16579

```

The heart

Is always concerned

About its God-illumination.

```

16580

```

The body-lease expires.

The soul’s stay in God’s Heart

Is permanent.

```

16581

```

We kill

Our God-fulfilment-eagerness-heart

When we forget to love humanity

In God’s own Way. ```

16582

```

We came into the world

Not to justify

But to rectify.

```

16583

```

Fault-finders

Find fault with everybody.

Even poor God

Is no exception! ```

16584

```

He who serves God

Faithfully

Commands ignorance

Powerfully. ```

16585

```

The sorrowful tears of the heart

Have a long life,

But not an eternal life.

```

16586

```

The powerful smiles of the soul

Are always

On the increase.

```

16587

```

Surrender is a journey

From the outer turmoil

To the inner peace.

```

16588

```

The suspension

Of desire-life

Is infinitely lower

Than the illumination

Of desire-life.

```

16589

```

If we fail to believe

That God is the sole Doer,

Then our life is bound to stumble

From failure to failure. ```

16590

```

The commotion-mind

Watches God’s Eye

With tremendous fears.

```

16591

```

The devotion-heart

Washes God’s Feet

With sweetness-tears.

```

16592

```

Alas, a negative mind

Can easily cripple

The positive heart

If the positive heart

Is not always on the alert.

```

16593

```

Alas,

Quite often I turn my face

To the cloudy mind-sky.

```

16594

```

It seems that almost all

Human beings

Are habituated to living

With the darkness-mind. ```

16595

```

The doubting mind

Every day tries so hard

To deprive the heart

Of God-meditation-food. ```

16596

```

Alas,

When are we going to realise

That insecurity and jealousy

Are so time-consuming? ```

16597

```

God proudly listens

To the sacred songs

Of our heart.

```

16598

```

God secretly reads

The history

Of our mind.

```

16599

```

He who can read

The human mind

Is indeed great.

```

16600

```

He who can love

The human heart

Is not only good,

But perfect. ```

16601

```

Pay no attention to the mind.

It deliberately tells lies

Almost all the time.

```

16602

```

God asks me to give Him

Only one thing:

My heart-beauty’s love.

```

16603

```

O my vital,

If you want to plunge

Into the river of despair,

You can do so.

Nobody is going to come to your aid.

```

16604

```

My Lord Supreme

Eagerly welcomes

My heart’s climbing flames.

```

16605

```

My Lord,

Can You not see

That I am all the time living

In a peace-empty mind? ```

16606

```

Cultivate friendship

With all the seekers

Who are soulful

And devotional. ```

16607

```

Nothing pleases my Lord more

Than my heart’s throbbing

God-fulfilment-promises.

```

16608

```

There was a time when I was bound

To the desire-futility-life.

Now, to my greatest joy

And satisfaction,

I am bound to the golden dust

Of my Lord’s golden Feet. ```

16609

```

Sailing and sailing,

My soul brought me

To a new world.

```

16610

```

Sailing and sailing,

At God’s choice Hour

My soul shall take me back

To my Eternal Home. ```

16611

```

Those who trouble God

For proof

Will be deplorable losers.

```

16612

```

You needs must have

An overwhelming aspiration

Twenty-four hours a day

To please God in His own Way. ```

16613

```

God wants me to tell the world

That each human being

Must follow

His own unique path

Inside his heart-realm.

```

16614

```

God is everybody’s

Beloved.

This is indeed in theory.

```

16615

```

God is the Beloved

Of the totally surrendered seekers.

This is indeed in practice.

```

16616

```

God-Satisfaction

And my ego-enlargement

Are poles apart.

```

16617

```

Even God’s Forgiveness

Finds it difficult

To open humanity’s mind-eyes.

```

16618

```

Each soul was born

And brought up perfectly

By God’s Will

To play a destined role

In God’s Cosmic Play.

```

16619

```

I lose faith in God time and again.

This is no news.

But if ever God loses faith in me,

Then that will be the most

Heartbreaking news for me.

```

16620

```

My Lord,

My heart is all gratitude to You

For blessing me

With the eternal privilege

Of loving and serving You.

```

16621

```

A life of surrender

Knows how to drink deep

God-Nectar.

```

16622

```

Do not allow

Your mind’s doubt-fire

To be prolonged.

```

16623

```

The fulness of silence

The mind can never

Dare to possess.

```

16624

```

Sleeplessly we must feed

The inner urgency

And immediacy

To realise the Absolute Supreme. ```

16625

```

Each prayer-breath

Has to come

From heart-purification.

```

16626

```

God-obedience

An ever-encompassing goal.

```

16627

```

The sunshine-smile

Of the heart

Is for world-liberation.

```

16628

```

You are a stark fool

If you separate your life-activities

From God’s Compassion-Eye

And Concern-Heart. ```

16629

```

Dive deep within.

Lo, God’s sunlit Road

Is beckoning you.

```

16630

```

God wants me to cancel

My lifelong contract

With ignorance-night.

```

16631

```

Indeed, how, O seeker,

How can you even dare

To say your life is too busy

For God-manifestation-satisfaction? ```

16632

```

Do not blame God for your sad fate.

It is you who do not want

To enter into

His Heart’s golden Gate

And remain in Infinity’s Bliss.

```

16633

```

No matter what form

God’s Will takes,

I shall always be ready

To abide by His Will. ```

16634

```

My heart’s eagerness

Can never be afraid of

God’s fastest speed

In my life. ```

16635

```

Our heart’s intensity

Does have the capacity

To release a torrent of desire

Whenever it wants to. ```

16636

```

Whenever God

Is extremely pleased with me,

He blesses me with golden days

And silver nights. ```

16637

```

God never allows

Our sincere efforts

To be wasted.

```

16638

```

God,

Do bless my heart

With a smile

That never stops growing. ```

16639

```

Lord,

Do bless my life

With a cry

That never stops climbing. ```

16640

```

How can we ever be precious

To God

If we are totally oblivious

To His world? ```

16641

```

The blossoming souls

Are God’s

Ever-expanding Visions.

```

16642

```

Failure is forgivable,

But not

Unwillingness.

```

16643

```

When God’s Silence-Eye

Fails,

He uses His Sound-Arms.

```

16644

```

Every day God wants me

To accompany Him

Into the battlefield of life

For my perfection

And His Satisfaction.

```

16645

```

When we follow the principle of

Give and take,

Not only do we see Heaven everywhere,

But we also live in Heaven everywhere. ```

16646

```

I am fed

By God-hunger

And by nothing else.

```

16647

```

The world is perfect

When you see the world

With your heart’s eye

And not with your mind’s eye. ```

16648

```

My devotion-heart

Is a pathfinder

Of my summit Goal.

```

16649

```

God is pleased because

I am desperately trying

To manifest

All the dimensions of my soul

To proclaim His Victory

Here on earth. ```

16650

```

Discover God:

This is what

A beginner needs to do.

```

16651

```

Rediscover God

Every day, every hour, every minute:

This is what an advanced soul

Needs to do. ```

16652

```

God tells a blossoming soul:

“My child,

You are My Life’s peerless treasure.”

```

16653

```

Never give up

Your baby-heart-cries

If you want to make

The fastest progress. ```

16654

```

The outer beauty

Dies

Before it is born.

```

16655

```

The inner forgiveness

Is at once

Birthless and deathless.

```

16656

```

A self-giver

Is a perfect stranger

To the mind’s

Disappointment-river. ```

16657

```

O my mind,

You can be different

If you want to,

But never be indifferent. ```

16658

```

What is depression,

If not an unmistakable

Failure-confession?

```

16659

```

Every day

God wants my heart

To export tears.

```

16660

```

Every day

God wants my soul

To import smiles.

```

16661

```

If you are not pleasing God,

God alone, every day,

Then how do you expect God

To be your sole Companion

Throughout Eternity?

```

16662

```

A totally surrendered soul

Knows that there is nothing

And there can be nothing

That is really an obstacle

In the spiritual life.

```

16663

```

Every day

I receive in abundant measure

And preserve with utmost care

The nectar-dust

Of my Lord’s Feet.

```

16664

```

No problem can ever be solved

Unless and until

Humanity has evolved

In God’s own Way. ```

16665

```

God has always been

The greatest Lover

Of the heart-learner.

```

16666

```

Beautiful, soulful, fruitful

Are the small hours

Of my morning prayers.

```

16667

```

He who has fallen

Is destined to rise again,

Not today, not tomorrow

But in the farthest remote future. ```

16668

```

All my life

I would like to remain

A God-remembrance-seeker.

```

16669

```

You have to know

That when you are disinclined

To meditate,

You are inclined

To ignorance-life.

```

16670

```

The heart does not mind

When the mind lives

In a palace.

```

16671

```

The mind makes fun

Of the heart

When it sees that the heart enjoys

Its hermitage-life. ```

16672

```

There is no such thing

As non-essentials.

Everything is essential.

Therefore we must be sincere

In all that we approach

Or undertake. ```

16673

```

God wants you

To run on His Track

At full speed

In utmost silence. ```

16674

```

Why do you hesitate

In asking God

To steer your life-boat?

He is all ready

And all eager.

```

16675

```

Without having an inner impetus

For transformation,

We can never please God

In His own Way. ```

16676

```

My heart immediately

Leaps with joy

The moment it sees the arrival

Of my soul. ```

16677

```

Not to appreciate

God’s Beauty in Nature

Is an offence

To God the creation. ```

16678

```

Be a constantly

Self-giving seeker.

The far-away blue horizon

Is bound to beckon you. ```

16679

```

The mind does not want to solve

Its own problems.

Foolishly it wants to engage itself

In solving others’ problems. ```

16680

```

If you are a genuine seeker,

Then every evening

You must take stock

Of your progress. ```

16681

```

The dawning and blossoming

Of faith

Are of paramount importance

In a seeker’s heart. ```

16682

```

Alas, a constant tug-of-war

Is going on

Between doubt and faith.

Faith is in the lead. ```

16683

```

The life-boat

Of a self-giving seeker

Is always steered

By the Heavenly stars. ```

16684

```

Gratitude loses

All its beauty and fragrance

Through expectation.

```

16685

```

If we are true God-lovers,

Then the absence of God

Has to be most agonising.

```

16686

```

When we do everything

For God’s sake,

Lovingly and self-givingly,

God blesses us

With a most glorious

Heaven-climbing journey. ```

16687

```

I am assailed

By a miserable frame of mind

The day I fail to dive deep within

In my meditation. ```

16688

```

The mind does not realise

Why it is overweight

With problems and difficulties.

An inner cry

Is the only answer.

```

16689

```

We must all come to grips

With our own

Imperfection-failures.

```

16690

```

I do not know how

The vital all the time endures

The company of the doubting mind.

```

16691

```

If you do not have

An iota of self-confidence,

Then your success and progress

In the spiritual life

Shall remain an impossible task.

```

16692

```

He who wants to perfect the world

Without perfecting himself

Is the greatest fool on earth.

```

16693

```

Do not reject the doubting mind.

Make your mind clear and pure;

Teach it to think positively.

Your mind will become

A real help to you.

```

16694

```

The big soul-bird

Is always inspiring

The little heart-bird

To fly along with it. ```

16695

```

Each time we find fault

With the world,

Our inner darkness-circle

Gets wider. ```

16696

```

Every day we have to go

To our heart-garden

To see a beautiful inspiration-rose —

Not yesterday’s rose

But today’s rose.

```

16697

```

If my ego

Is not obliterated,

Then my life

Will never be liberated. ```

16698

```

God has hidden Himself

Not because we are all undivine,

But because He wants us

To develop

A deeper God-hunger.

```

16699

```

Be a wisdom-flooded seeker.

Stand aside

And let God work

In and through you. ```

16700

```

When we are in

Our deep meditation,

Each earth-bound thought

Is a little hammer-blow. ```

16701

```

I am not alone

Facing the ignorance-darkness.

My Lord Supreme is with me,

In me and for me. ```

16702

```

The division-mind has played its role

For a very long time in my life.

Now my oneness-heart starts

Playing its role. ```

16703

```

My Lord Supreme wants me

To wave His Victory-Banner

Ceaselessly and proudly.

```

16704

```

My Lord,

Your physical absence

With greatest difficulty

I can endure.

But Your spiritual absence

I shall never be able to endure. ```

16705

```

My Lord, do tell me

How I am supposed to welcome You:

With my devotion-heart,

With my surrender-life

Or with my gratitude-breath?

“My child, use all three

At the time you want to welcome Me.”

```

16706

```

My Lord, although I am

In ignorance-night,

You are the only Light

That I would like to live by. ```

16707

```

My obedience has won

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

My surrender has won

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

16708

```

I have only one desire:

I wish to be a lifetime member

Of my Lord’s

Love-devotion-surrender-circle. ```

16709

```

No more shall I live,

Even for a fleeting second,

In the heartlands

Of ignorance-night. ```

16710

```

My heart has the capacity

To establish

An inseparable oneness

With my Lord’s Heart. ```

16711

```

I deeply and sincerely deplore

My mind’s labyrinth-connection

With God.

```

16712

```

Today’s disobedience

Has the strongest connection

With tomorrow’s catastrophe.

```

16713

```

When temptation whispers,

Our hearts

Are immediately polluted.

```

16714

```

The mind’s determination-sword

Must never be allowed

To sleep.

```

16715

```

Hesitation-journey will always have

An imperfection-start

And an imperfection-end.

```

16716

```

My heart is tinier than the tiniest.

Therefore, it cannot house

God’s big Smile.

```

16717

```

God wants me to increase

Every day

My devotion-paradise-hunger.

```

16718

```

Those who live only

For God’s sake

Are the supremely chosen

Sons and daughters

Of God’s Victory.

```

16719

```

Peace

Is the harvest

Of our aspiration-heart.

```

16720

```

God came, God sought.

Yet I am unwilling

To be caught.

```

16721

```

My Lord delights in everything,

But His Delight in my heart

Always remains unsurpassable.

```

16722

```

My happiness

And God’s Satisfaction

Can never be separated.

```

16723

```

May my heart be

A fountain

Of God-enthusiasm-victory.

```

16724

```

Since you are a God-lover,

Then all the God-lovers

Must immediately win

Your heart. ```

16725

```

May my aspiration grow and grow

Every day

At a very striking pace.

```

16726

```

Alas, the unaspiring human beings

Do not know that they live

In their mind-nightmare-existence.

```

16727

```

My Lord Supreme expects me

To worship Him

At my angel-adorned heart-shrine.

```

16728

```

God allows only

The unconditional God-lovers

To storm

Impossibility-gates. ```

16729

```

God becomes His Forgiveness-Power

Only when I become

My life’s surrender-tower.

```

16730

```

Only the Master and God know

Why God wants the Master

To plant devotion-plants

In our desert-life. ```

16731

```

There are many desire-boats,

But there is only one aspiration-boat,

And the Boatman is beckoning

My heart. ```

16732

```

What is desire,

If not an eventual

Dead body-corpse?

```

16733

```

Doubt wants me to live

Far, very far, from

God’s Compassion-flooded Smile.

```

16734

```

My mind is a perfect stranger

To all that I have

For God.

```

16735

```

The desire-man is half man

And half animal.

The aspiration-man is a full man,

Growing into divinity’s superman. ```

16736

```

My Lord, every day

May my aspiration-heart

Ring Your Victory-Bell.

```

16737

```

God wants only

The self-giving seekers

To teach peace-melody

To the aspiring world. ```

16738

```

God uses

His Compassion-Eye-Smile

To welcome humanity’s heart.

```

16739

```

My devotion-love-surrender-

Gratitude-heart

Is a valid proof

Of God on earth. ```

16740

```

God loves everything

That I have and I am,

But He loves my silence-mind

Infinitely more than anything else. ```

16741

```

My Master’s scolding

And his encouragement

Are the obverse and reverse

Of the same oneness-reality. ```

16742

```

My success

Comes from

The river of my tears.

```

16743

```

My progress

Comes from

My ocean of smiles.

```

16744

```

God invites all and sundry

To come and play with Him

In His Heart-Garden.

```

16745

```

In divine friendship,

Good qualities are blessed

And enhanced

By the Source: the Supreme. ```

16746

```

Wherever there is a heart-cry,

There is bound to be

A life-fulfilment.

```

16747

```

No human being

Can ever remain away

From God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

16748

```

God wants us to enter into

His Heart-Empire

And roam and roam,

Singing God’s Victory-Songs. ```

16749

```

God’s omnipotent Will

Never comes to us

Incognito.

```

16750

```

God encourages us

At every moment

To empty our mind

And feed our heart. ```

16751

```

The desire-life

Is bound to be scorched

By worry and anxiety-fever.

```

16752

```

To me, God means

His irresistible

Nectar-Feet.

```

16753

```

O my mind,

At least for a solitary, single day

Put aside all your desire-toys.

```

16754

```

God’s Heart is all sadness

When He sees our lives

Are nothing short of

God-forgetfulness-slumber. ```

16755

```

If our faith in God is genuine,

Then it can easily stand

The test of time.

```

16756

```

Aspiration is at its lowest ebb

When we criticise

God the creation.

```

16757

```

God wants

Each and every seeker to be

His Victory-manifestation-drum.

```

16758

```

I call it my self-giving.

God calls the same thing

His Happiness-Pride.

```

16759

```

Do not live

In the ashes of expectation.

Just live

In the tree-branches of aspiration. ```

16760

```

All that you need

May not be before you

Or around you,

But all that you need

Is definitely within you.

```

16761

```

Love wants to be loved.

Devotion wants to be loved.

But surrender,

Unconditional surrender,

Knows only how to love,

How to serve

And how to surrender.

```

16762

```

God loves my surrender-hermitage

Immensely.

He vehemently dislikes

My colossal ego-edifice. ```

16763

```

My Lord Supreme,

Believe me when I say

I love You only

And I need You only.

“My child,

Believe Me when I tell you

To take Me only,

Take Me only.” ```

16764

```

God has blessingfully offered us

Not one but many chances

To satisfy Him.

```

16765

```

God can do anything He wants to.

If He wants to lose His Patience,

How can we dare to prevent Him?

```

16766

```

God most attentively listens

When I say that

He owns me.

```

16767

```

God sings and dances

The moment I tell Him

To claim me and own me.

```

16768

```

To me,

Pride is nothing short of

Violence.

```

16769

```

To me,

The unaspiring mind

Is nothing short of

Insolence. ```

16770

```

God wants our divine qualities

To be part and parcel

Of His Infinity’s Delight.

```

16771

```

Be not afraid of telling God

What you are suffering from.

Your suffering heart immediately

Doubles God’s own Sympathy-Heart. ```

16772

```

We try to uncover

What does not belong

To us.

```

16773

```

Alas,

We do not try to discover

What truly belongs to us.

```

16774

```

God says to the end:

“Look, look!

Here is your new beginning.”

```

16775

```

The divine in me

Loses

When the human in me

Chooses. ```

16776

```

To try to make

The impossible possible,

We must complete

Our surrender-life first. ```

16777

```

God wants us to stop

Our mindless activities

And not our selfless activities.

```

16778

```

God wants me

To steer my boat

Both devotedly

And self-givingly. ```

16779

```

O my aspiration-heart,

You are already so good,

But try to be better!

```

16780

```

We must always be ready

To vanquish

All our impurity-mind-attacks

Once and for all. ```

16781

```

My Lord enjoys

My devotional song-offering

Infinitely more

Than I can ever imagine. ```

16782

```

A frustration-seeker

Is bound to suffer

From a complication-pride.

```

16783

```

We must increase

Our love of God

Every day without fail

If we really want to eradicate

Our unwanted worries

And anxieties. ```

16784

```

Constant God-attention-seekers

Fail in the long run

In pleasing God.

```

16785

```

We must not pay any attention

To temptation-distraction

Along our way

To the God-Destination. ```

16786

```

My Lord,

Never allow me

To be in the company

Of the spiritually homeless

Human beings.

```

16787

```

He who does not have

Awareness-concern

For all humanity

Cannot make fast progress

In his spiritual life.

```

16788

```

A God-surrender-soul

Is indeed a bouquet

Of Heavenly qualities.

```

16789

```

I am not dreaming

Of a hope-victory-life.

I am just dreaming

Of a hope-survival-life. ```

16790

```

If you are wise,

Then you must go

To a problem-eliminating Master

And not

To a problem-solving seeker.

```

16791

```

I wish to be found

In the assembly

Of world-peace-dreamers

And seekers

And not in the assembly

Of peace-victory-warriors. ```

16792

```

Only an ever-increasing

Gratitude-heart

Can enjoy a flight

In a cloudless ecstasy-sky. ```

16793

```

Only a true God-lover

Can claim to be

A true ignorance-fighter.

```

16794

```

O seeker, every day

Try to measure the depth

Of your aspiration-hunger.

```

16795

```

My Supreme,

I do not want my love of You

Ever to remain unexamined.

```

16796

```

As Your Love for me

Is boundless, my Lord,

Even so

My love for You

Is sincere and genuine.

```

16797

```

God does not mind

If you fail in His Examination,

But He does mind

If you ever give up. ```

16798

```

My Lord,

What is the meaning of true love?

“My child,

True love means practical

And not theoretical.”

```

16799

```

My Lord,

When will You come to me?

“My child,

Even if I come to you right now,

You will not recognise Me,

Because you are infinitely

More interested

In your ignorance-life

Than in Me.”

```

16800

```

My Lord,

Why do You appreciate

And admire me?

Am I not unworthy of You

In every way?

“My child,

That is your way of thinking.”

```

16801

```

My Lord,

You do not command me.

Is it because I am not ready?

“My child,

Not because you are not ready,

But because for you

The Hour has not struck.”

```

16802

```

My Lord,

Will You choose for me?

“No, My child.

You have to choose Me first.

Then only

I shall choose for you.” ```

16803

```

The human in me

Is an imperfection-seeker

In others.

```

16804

```

The divine in me

Always remains a God-searcher,

God-seeker and God-lover

In others. ```

16805

```

My Lord,

Do You want me

To change my life,

Or do You want me

To realise You first?

“My child, first realise Me.

First thing first!

Then only think

Of your transformation.”

```

16806

```

God wants me to think and feel

That each thought

Is a miracle-giver and receiver,

And not a miracle-monger. ```

16807

```

My heart has an eager desire

To take shelter in my soul.

Alas, my mind never, never cares

To take shelter in my heart. ```

16808

```

My Lord,

How can I remain always

Ever-young and ever-new?

“My child, easy!

Just look at yourself

With your heart-eye.” ```

16809

```

My Lord,

When will be the right time for me

To broadcast Your Victory?

“My child,

The right time for you

Will be when you feel

That you are destined to outlast

Your ignorance-life.” ```

16810

```

My Lord,

Which one will be easier for me:

To love You or to serve You?

“My child,

Now do not think

Of loving Me or serving Me.

Just think of Me as Someone

Whom you sleeplessly, breathlessly

And eternally need.”

```

16811

```

If you want to go to God

Out of desperation,

Then you are not ready

For the spiritual life. ```

16812

```

If you go to God

Because of your inner hunger,

Then you are ready

For the spiritual life. ```

16813

```

O seeker, be careful!

God cannot and will not

Wait for you forever.

```

16814

```

My Lord,

Why do I have to invite You

To come to me?

“My child,

If I come to you uninvited,

You will not take Me

Seriously.”

```

16815

```

My life’s progress-river

Can sleeplessly flow

Towards the ocean

If every day

I increase my God-hunger.

```

16816

```

God does not want us

To swim in ignorance-sea.

Every day, every hour, every minute

He is asking us

To leave the ignorance-shore.

```

16817

```

My Lord,

Which kind of service

Do You appreciate the most?

“My child, a sleepless

And reward-expectation-empty

Service.” ```

16818

```

As dynamism is needed

To cure outer lethargy,

Even so

A burning faith in God is needed

To illumine inner lethargy.

```

16819

```

If you are

Divinely daring,

Then you can be

Supremely creative. ```

16820

```

To feel

That God is attainable,

You must feel

That God is only lovable. ```

16821

```

God does not mind

If I do not love Him,

But He does mind

If I do not prefer

My self-giving life

To my world-perfecting mind. ```

16822

```

We may betray

The divine in us,

We may even deny

The divine in us,

But we cannot forget

The divine in us. ```

16823

```

God hears all my heart-songs,

Specially

My gratitude-heart-songs.

```

16824

```

If you do not follow God’s Will

To the very end,

How are you going to succeed?

```

16825

```

In supreme silence

The soul drinks

God’s ambrosial Will.

```

16826

```

If you want

To understand spirituality,

Then you are never going

To succeed. ```

16827

```

If you live in your soul,

Then God’s Will

Can never petrify you.

```

16828

```

The mind is a fool.

It does not obey

Spirituality’s traffic lights.

```

16829

```

What I need desperately:

A God-ordained

Seeker-life.

```

16830

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do make my life a patience-tree

With ripe fruits.

```

16831

```

Every morning

My aspiration-heart

Dresses itself

In rose blossoms. ```

16832

```

In the spiritual life,

A life of simplicity,

A mind of sincerity

And a heart of purity

Always win the race.

```

16833

```

Like my heart,

I want my mind also

To be a seeker

In my soul-temple. ```

16834

```

My soul immensely loves

My heart’s commitment

To the Highest.

```

16835

```

The love-power of the heart

Conquers

All the mind-enemies.

```

16836

```

May my life-river

Flow into

My soul-sea of illumination.

```

16837

```

To climb the tree of liberation

You must win

The peace-award first.

```

16838

```

Every day my Lord measures

My mind’s success-life

And

My heart’s progress-breath. ```

16839

```

If the mind does not aspire

Every day,

Then the mind will be totally lost

In confusion-thoughts. ```

16840

```

God will bless you with

His complete Satisfaction-Reward

When you conquer your impurity-mind.

```

16841

```

A gratitude-heart

Is indeed

A perfect stairway

To Heaven. ```

16842

```

Spirituality

Means

A darkness-daring smile.

```

16843

```

God is always eager

To bless me with

His Heart’s Fulness-Happiness,

But alas, I am never ready. ```

16844

```

If your aspiration died young,

Then pray to God to bless you

With a new aspiration

That will last indefinitely. ```

16845

```

If you want to be perfect,

Then you must satisfy God

With your aspiration-heart

And service-life equally. ```

16846

```

May each thought

Produced by my mind

Become a blossoming

Rainbow-happiness. ```

16847

```

When the mind leads us

To a new place,

It invariably leads us

Through complaint-fields. ```

16848

```

My surrender-life

Is the pioneer

Of my Lord’s Happiness-Heart.

```

16849

```

Always be ready

With your sincerity-mind

And purity-heart

To obey the Lord Supreme. ```

16850

```

If you cannot please God today,

Then forget about pleasing God

Tomorrow,

For it will be a more difficult task. ```

16851

```

A true seeker

Does not belong to himself.

His each and every breath

Belongs to God Himself. ```

16852

```

God wants my life to change

Not under His commanding Eye,

But under His loving Eye.

```

16853

```

My God-crying heart

Is used by God Himself

In a special way.

```

16854

```

My only choice

Is to remain a perfect stranger

To my mind’s

God-ingratitude-voice. ```

16855

```

O my mind’s determination-lion,

Where are you roaming?

Why are you not roaring?

```

16856

```

The old mind

Does not accept

Anything new.

```

16857

```

The new heart

Does not accept

Anything old.

```

16858

```

A true seeker-hero

Will definitely survive

All his downfalls.

```

16859

```

Alas,

My ego-mind

Does not show

Any sign of leaving. ```

16860

```

Alas,

My oneness-heart

Has not yet started

Dreaming of a oneness-world. ```

16861

```

Alas, in vain

Heaven has been waiting

For countless years

For the arrival

Of the perfect human being.

```

16862

```

God is extremely proud

Of the seeker who knows

How to play breathlessly

His God-surrender-game. ```

16863

```

My ingratitude-life

Is indeed a terrible disservice

To my Lord Supreme.

```

16864

```

You do not need to be unusual.

You have just to be natural

To please God

In His own Way. ```

16865

```

God-lovers

Cannot be other than

Ignorance-fighters.

```

16866

```

God loves your heart’s

Aspiration-hunger

Infinitely more

Than you can ever imagine. ```

16867

```

Those who are afraid

Of failure

God will never examine.

```

16868

```

God tells me that

He has given me

The right to invocation,

But He Himself keeps

The right to illumination.

```

16869

```

God laughs at me

When I tell Him that

I am so inadequate

And insufficient. ```

16870

```

True God-love means

For God I can do both

The unimaginable

And the unthinkable. ```

16871

```

I want my dedication

To be a perfect stranger

To expectation.

```

16872

```

My Lord, to think of You

Inside my mind

Is to celebrate You

Inside my heart. ```

16873

```

The animal in me

Demands.

The human in me

Reprimands.

The divine in me

Commands. ```

16874

```

God commands our mind

Only when we disregard

Our heart’s love of God.

```

16875

```

Attachment I had.

Renunciation I have.

My acceptance of the world as such

I need. ```

16876

```

God does not want us to extol Him

All the time to the skies.

Sometimes He only wants us

To love Him. ```

16877

```

My soul asks God

Always to do the needful.

My heart asks my soul

Always to do the needful. ```

16878

```

Do not fulfil

Any desire of mine

If You really love me,

My Lord. ```

16879

```

God loves

My baby steps,

And I love

God’s giant Heart. ```

16880

```

My Lord, I promise

That I shall choose You.

“My child, look, look!

I have already chosen you!” ```

16881

```

My soul’s divinity-flood

Follows

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

16882

```

O seeker, never be afraid

Of the hurtful life

If you really want to arrive

At your destination. ```

16883

```

My Lord asks me to be

Neither a miracle-monger

Nor a miracle-performer.

```

16884

```

He who performs miracles

Day in and day out

Cannot truly be a God-lover.

```

16885

```

I do not need

A miracle-performer.

I need a natural

God-lover and God-seeker. ```

16886

```

My Lord, I shall never choose

Anyone else

Other than You.

Therefore, for me to leave You

Is out of the question.

```

16887

```

He who chooses

Eventually loses

In the battlefield of life.

```

16888

```

My Lord, if You really love me,

Do not make any request of me.

Just command me.

I shall be at Your behest

All the time.

```

16889

```

My Lord, You are asking me

Not to wait for anybody,

For everyone will reach Heaven

At God’s choice Hour. ```

16890

```

May my heart be strict

With my mind

The way my soul is strict

With my heart. ```

16891

```

God definitely needs the God-seeker

Who dreams

Of world peace.

```

16892

```

God treasures the God-lover

Who identifies himself

With world-worries and anxieties.

```

16893

```

Where are my conscious

And unconscious blunders?

They are at the Lotus-Feet

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

16894

```

People think that

I deliberately want to hurt them.

Nothing can be as false as this.

```

16895

```

Even if the whole world

Does not think that I am serious

In my God-devotion,

I shall not mind.

I shall continue, my Lord,

The way I have been showing You

My devotion.

```

16896

```

Obedience is always

The most promising virtue

In our life.

```

16897

```

God is

Astounded

At my God-rejection-capacity.

```

16898

```

Alas, I have been looking upward

For a long time

To see a drop of peace-rain.

```

16899

```

At every moment

We must be serious,

Extremely serious,

In pleasing God

In His own Way.

```

16900

```

God the Compassion

Introduces us

To God the Will-Power.

```

16901

```

If anybody tries hard,

Then he can definitely

Be among the fortunate few.

```

16902

```

If you want to realise God,

Then you must unearth

Your inner treasures.

```

16903

```

We must realise

That our God-appointments

Are never meant

For our God-disappointments. ```

16904

```

Today,

As in centuries past,

I shall try to love and serve

My Lord

In His own Way.

```

16905

```

God-love, God-devotion

And God-surrender

Are the safest and surest

Investments. ```

16906

```

My Lord,

May I exist only

For Your constant Satisfaction.

```

16907

```

No matter how many times

I fall,

I shall selflessly try to be

My Lord’s choice instrument. ```

16908

```

From the very start

To the very finish,

I shall please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way. ```

16909

```

If you are only for God,

Then you will definitely

Satisfy God

At all costs. ```

16910

```

Peace-hunger

Is the greatest event

Of the twentieth century.

```

16911

```

Deliberately the mind tries

Not to please God,

Not to have God in its life.

```

16912

```

My gratitude-heart

Is an open door

To my God-fulfilment-longing.

```

16913

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Plants a new aspiration-seed

Inside my heart.

```

16914

```

Silence embodies

Both the beauty of hope

And the fragrance of promise.

```

16915

```

The songs of my heart

Are inspiring

Even my physical body

To open to God’s Light. ```

16916

```

My enthusiasm-heart,

You must never be associated

With my mind’s

Frustration-tears. ```

16917

```

God becomes sweet,

Sweeter, sweetest

In the devotion-heart

Of a seeker. ```

16918

```

A heart of God-devotion

Is inundated with the capacity

To fly from heart to heart.

```

16919

```

My heart, march and sing

And enter into

Our soul’s eternal spring.

```

16920

```

I need the hope

That has the capacity

To illumine

Even the God-reluctant

Human beings.

```

16921

```

I greet every morning

With my life’s simplicity,

My mind’s sincerity

And my heart’s humility. ```

16922

```

Only in my aspiration-heart

My God-gratitude-sweetness

Lives.

```

16923

```

My heart not only tries

But also succeeds

In looking beyond

Ignorance-night. ```

16924

```

Actually we are not fools,

But our desire-life

Unfortunately makes us so.

```

16925

```

The heart that is born anew

Can be of real service

To world-transformation.

```

16926

```

My aspiration-heart’s long,

Very long, silence

Has finally blossomed.

```

16927

```

Yesterday’s inspiration

Was needed for yesterday.

But today’s inspiration

We need for today.

Always we have to look forward

And enjoy the beauty, fragrance

And purity

Of today’s flower. ```

16928

```

Because he has an aversion

To worldly pleasure,

He has now become

God’s choice treasure. ```

16929

```

A true God-lover will never say

That he is overburdened

With duties.

```

16930

```

When silence prevails

In my inner life,

I sail my outer life-boat.

```

16931

```

God tells me time and again

That He will give me

The enlightenment I long for

Only at His choice Hour. ```

16932

```

If you do not have peace of mind,

Then the hostile forces

Can easily shake your mind’s

Equanimity-foundation. ```

16933

```

I came into the world

Not for the fulfilment

Of my desire-will,

But for the fulfilment

Of my Lord’s

All-Illumination-Will. ```

16934

```

If it is a true aspiration-heart,

Then it has to be endowed

With exceptional inner beauty.

```

16935

```

O my mind, like my heart,

Can you not spend

At least a short time

With my God-manifestation-dream

On earth?

```

16936

```

No heart is as beautiful

And powerful

As God’s constant

Forgiveness-Dream. ```

16937

```

If you are a real seeker,

Then you must enjoy

Each and every God-duty.

```

16938

```

If our God-devotion is strong,

Then no problem

Can ever remain unsolved.

```

16939

```

This morning I made

A solemn promise

To my Lord Supreme

That I will have

No further contact

With ignorance-night. ```

16940

```

The heart does not have to

Understand God’s Will.

It feels God’s Will

And wants to execute God’s Will. ```

16941

```

O my mind,

Be a stranger to complexity,

O my heart,

Be a stranger to impurity,

If you want to receive

An invitation from God Himself

To His Palace.

```

16942

```

Every aspiration-heart

Knows how to speak well

God’s language.

```

16943

```

If we are not enthusiastically

And eagerly devoted

To God’s Will,

Our God-realisation-attainment

Will remain a far cry.

```

16944

```

Not only now but all the time,

Not only here but everywhere,

We must solely depend

On God’s Will. ```

16945

```

I have seen

God’s Forgiveness-Feet

Infinitely more than

I have seen anything else on earth. ```

16946

```

My God-gratitude-heart

Is the greatest thing

That my Lord has seen

In my life. ```

16947

```

We must use every free moment

To pray and meditate,

To love and serve God.

```

16948

```

God gets tremendous satisfaction

When we powerfully meditate

To become acquainted

With God’s Will. ```

16949

```

When God comes down

From His Throne

To bless me,

I feel He expects me

To make another throne

For Him. ```

16950

```

O my mind,

Dive into the silence-sea,

For that is the place

You actually belong. ```

16951

```

My mind likes

To explore.

My heart loves

To implore. ```

16952

```

I am so happy that now

God wants to be extremely strict

With my inner responsibility

And outer duty. ```

16953

```

If my love for God

Is absolutely genuine,

Then He will proudly become

The inner Ruler of my life. ```

16954

```

My mind has finally decided

That it will no longer repeat

Mechanical prayers.

```

16955

```

Whenever God

Wants to speak to my mind

On the inner phone,

My mind is always busy. ```

16956

```

Think of God’s favourite children:

Harmony, peace and bliss.

Indeed, this is the simple secret

Of pleasing God. ```

16957

```

God does not allow

His Heart-Satisfaction-Sun

Ever to set.

```

16958

```

Temptation and frustration

Came in

By the same door.

```

16959

```

Dynamism awakens

My outer life.

Surrender awakens

My inner life. ```

16960

```

A self-giving seeker

Is nearer than the nearest

To God’s Heart.

```

16961

```

To please the Absolute Lord Supreme

Is infinitely easier

Than to please

The doubting mind. ```

16962

```

When God’s unconditional

Grace descends,

We cannot play any more

Our life’s futility-game. ```

16963

```

This world

Is flooded with

Desire-fulfilment-cries.

```

16964

```

The mind is never satisfied

Unless and until

It leads us in zigzag ways.

```

16965

```

The more we are willing to kneel,

The quicker we shall receive

Light from Above.

```

16966

```

Each time God smiles at us,

He blesses us

With a very special present

From His Heart. ```

16967

```

Each God-manifestation

On earth

Is a festive celebration

In Heaven. ```

16968

```

Every morning

God wants to hear from us

That we are willing and eager

To proclaim His Victory

In and through us.

```

16969

```

My simplicity is

The beauty of my heart

And the fragrance of my soul.

```

16970

```

What I at every moment need

Is the capacity of a fully

God-surrendered seeker

And

God-surrendered lover.

```

16971

```

Genuine God-lovers

Do not grow

Like mushrooms.

```

16972

```

A true God-lover

Does not know

What expectation is,

Not to speak of demand. ```

16973

```

If your God-love, God-devotion

And God-surrender

Are not one-pointed,

You will never be appointed

By God.

```

16974

```

True God-love

Cannot be separated from

True God-Fulfilment-Satisfaction.

```

16975

```

Enthusiasm is not excitement.

Enthusiasm must come

Either from the soul or the heart.

```

16976

```

We must not be afraid

Of conquering either

A life of fear

Or a life of self-doubt. ```

16977

```

Every day

Ignorance-resistance

Is of paramount importance.

```

16978

```

If you do not value

Your spiritual life,

Not only human beings

But even God will be unwilling

To value you.

```

16979

```

Do not allow any force

To pull you back.

Use your faith only

To march forward. ```

16980

```

O seeker, be careful!

One day God may force you

To be extremely strict

With your God-obedience-life. ```

16981

```

Whatever you do,

Remember that

Your Divinity’s big Eye

Is watching you. ```

16982

```

My love of God

Unmistakably enlightens

My inner life.

```

16983

```

If you listen

To your inner voice,

Then you are bound

To always make the right choice. ```

16984

```

God finds it so difficult

To believe

That you treasure

Your frustration-mind

Over His Compassion-Heart.

```

16985

```

If you are afraid

Of your spiritual revolution

In your progress-march towards God,

Yours will be the life of utter failure. ```

16986

```

My Lord, do tell me,

How long will I have to remain

Enamoured of ignorance-night?

```

16987

```

O divine swimmer,

Be careful

Of ignorance-shore.

```

16988

```

Each time I give undue importance

To my mind,

I create a stronger problem

For myself. ```

16989

```

O seeker of the Highest,

Be brave to challenge

The pride of the lowest.

```

16990

```

To sing one line soulfully

Is to receive from God

The quintessence

Of one hundred pages

Filled with inspiration,

Aspiration and delight. ```

16991

```

Every day my heart prays to God

To be as beautiful

As a basket of celestial blossoms.

```

16992

```

Unconditionally you must bloom

Where God’s Compassion-Eye

Plants you.

```

16993

```

God always pays

Special attention

To the kneeling seeker’s request.

```

16994

```

When God creates

A spiritual Master,

He gives the Master

His own outstretched Arms

Of Compassion.

```

16995

```

May each heartbeat of mine

Offer a new thrill

To my Lord Supreme.

```

16996

```

God has blessed me with

An ever-galloping eagerness-heart.

I must never, never lose it.

```

16997

```

I bask in the sunshine

Of God’s Love.

Therefore, I have nothing else

To ask for. ```

16998

```

May I become

A new and ever-blossoming

God-manifestation-thrill.

```

16999

```

On tiptoe, my Lord Supreme

Enters into my heart

And finds that my heart

Is singing

God’s Victory-Songs.

```

17000

```

Surrender to God’s Will

Is the invaluable jewel

Of our earth-existence.
