Each moment is a golden opportunity
To throw oneself entirelyAt the Feet of God.
```If we believe in God,
There is nothing in usThat can remain forever
Imperfect. ```A wise seeker
Every day takes shelterUnder the wing
Of his Beloved Supreme. ```A God-soldier is he
Who always has the courageTo do the impossible.
```We can see the rainbow-beauty
Only when we becomeThe breath of duty.
```God wants our heart-blossoms
To always be in touchWith Him.
```Spread happiness
Wherever you go.Become fulness
Wherever you are. ```At every moment
We need cheerfulnessTo surmount all our problems.
```I do not need
The mind-power.I need only
The gratitude-heart-flower. ```To me,
Public prayersLead me nowhere.
```Every morning I pray to God
To carry me overWorry and anxiety-sea.
```“My soul, will I ever be able
To reach your height?”My soul says, “Certainly you can.
You will be able to goEven far beyond my height
When you become implicitly oneConsciously and self-givingly
With the Absolute Supreme.” ```My deep meditation
IsMy soul’s nectar-harvest.
```Not the wings of imagination
But the wings of forgivenessAre the strongest wings.
```We need positive thoughts
To bask in the gloriesOf the meditation-sun.
```If you are intoxicated
With desire-power,For you there will be
No God-Hour. ```The human mind
Is nothing short ofA thick ignorance-blanket.
```Surrender means
To soar intoA newness-vastness-sky.
```My heart’s peace-waves
Every day carry awayAll my anxieties.
```Undoubtedly
Surrender is a short-cut,A real short-cut,
To God’s Palace. ```Each seeker must rise up
And challenge the mind’sDarkness-supremacy.
```A God-loving heart
Thrives onGod-Forgiveness-Delight.
```The spiritual life
Powerfully blossomsOnly with
Surrender-prayers and meditations. ```Our spiritual progress
Knows noDead-end road.
```When God sees that
I desperately need to go up,He Himself comes down
To bless me withHis Infinity’s Love and Blessings.
```My joy knows no bounds
When I see my Lord’sCompassion-Eye
Inside my heart. ```The deeper our gratitude,
The closer we areTo God.
```Once we are on
The God-surrender-road,God-Satisfaction will not remain
A far cry. ```If you really want to thrill God,
Then every day empty your mindAnd enlarge your heart.
```It is easy to surprise God.
Just say you have cut offAll connections with ignorance-night.
```Act as strictly as possible.
Run as quickly as possible.Your goal will not remain
A far cry. ```Do not indulge
In old thoughts.Invoke new will from Above
To reach your destination. ```An insecurity-cave
Knows not whereDivinity’s progress-waves are.
```The disobedience-grave
Always remainsBarren.
```God created us
With His own thirsty EyeAnd hungry Heart.
```The heart will show us
Where our ownDivinity’s depths are.
```The heart’s bleeding tears
Definitely expediteGod’s Arrival.
```Unlike the mind,
The heart feels and knowsThere is no long-distance God-call.
```We can see God’s
Infinite BeautyOnly when our hearts
Become all purity. ```Perfection means
Life is God-surrenderManifested.
```The aspiring heart
Is always enamoured ofGod’s Compassion-flooded Will.
```Both the Master and the disciple
Can be happyIf they can live outside
The space of expectations. ```Every day God invites us
To join HimIn self-transformation-sport.
```Each expectation of mine
Is, indeed,My peace-killer.
```If you try to resist something,
It will persist.But if you surrender to God’s Will,
Nothing can exist in your way.You will only persist
In your God-manifestation-way. ```The secret of peace
Is to stop the mindFrom finding fault
With the heart. ```God’s Eye wants us
To walk along with God.God’s Heart wants us
To go ahead of Him. ```God wants to direct us,
But He asks usTo correct ourselves.
```Think of God and claim God
As your own, very own.God will become your perfect slave.
```To see your soul
Is to know muchAbout God.
```Never allow doubt
To overtakeYour heart-dominion.
```I become God’s choicest instrument
When I make my entire lifeA God-gratitude-song.
```Every day God blesses me
With a new inspiration-birdIn my heart-sky.
```Grace is beautiful,
Grace is powerfulAt the same time.
```Today’s minor mistakes
Can easily be tomorrow’sMountain-high mistakes.
```No prayer will remain
Unanswered,But it may not be
In our own way. ```The beauty of our heart
Shows our life the highwayTo the higher worlds.
```Unlike in the mind,
God is always uppermostIn the aspiring heart.
```When I pray,
God walksWith me.
```When I meditate,
God worksFor me.
```A new destination
Reached,God-Satisfaction
Fulfilled. ```The God-journey
Has a sweet beginning.Infinitely sweeter
Is the arrival at the Goal. ```My gratitude-heart
Every day bathesIn God’s unfathomable Delight.
```Surrender and delight
Follow each otherAt different intervals.
```The divine in us
Is never tired of playingWith our Absolute Lord Supreme.
```The mind cannot sing.
It can only tellUseless tales.
```The heart not only can sing
But also dances in front ofIts Lord Beloved Supreme.
```My God-love, God-devotion
And God-serviceHave grown into
God’s transcendental Smiles. ```We all must try
To be worthyOf God’s highest Pride.
```Love encompasses
The sour mindAnd the sweet heart.
```O seeker, every day
Try to absorbEach God-intoxicated moment.
```Our slavery to ignorance-night
Must not haveA very long life.
```Alas, my disobedience
Is something that GodHas never seen before.
```My heart is always eager
To drownIn God’s Compassion-Sea.
```Everything on earth is uncertain
Save and exceptGod’s Concern for us.
```I shall not spend
Even one fleeting secondWithout staying at God’s
Nectar-flooded Feet. ```There are many possible ways
To please God.I have chosen the way
Of sleepless surrenderTo God’s Will.
```May even the sleeping mind
Be found in God’sCompassion-Sea.
```Enthusiasm
AdmitsOf no exhaustion.
```We must realise that
There can be no limitsTo making God happy
And fulfilled. ```The outer world
Is expert at blamingThe inner world.
```No more bargaining,
No more dealingsWith ignorance-night.
```If you are wise,
You will not even look atYour previous desire-life.
```God never thinks
That mankind is simplyA lost case.
```Not mistakenly
But deliberately,The mind styles itself
As perfect. ```The mind is
PerplexedBy world-knowledge.
```The heart is
RelaxedOnly by inner knowledge.
```Each seeker’s heart
Is, indeed,An aspiration-temple.
```God never gives away
The beauty and fragranceOf my devotion-heart.
```It is our devotion
That takes us cheerfullyTo God’s Heart-Home.
```God enters only
Into our heart-garden.He never enters
Into our doubt-courtyard. ```Pleasing means
Self-givingIn the Eye of God.
```You must take
SeriouslyYour God-manifestation-promises.
```If you want to know
What God’s Will isFor the second time,
Then you are notA first-class seeker.
```The unaspiring mind
Is aware onlyOf godless roads.
```An unconditionally surrendered seeker
Is far beyondAll the mountains of problems.
```Nobody is as lucky
As the seeker who is always eagerTo please God in His own Way.
```O seeker, if you really want
To please God,Then find your way back
To God’s Will. ```My prayerful and soulful gratitude
Is of immeasurable value —So says my Lord Supreme.
```The larger than the largest ocean
Is the Forgiveness-OceanOf my Lord Supreme.
```I am desperately yearning
For God’s blissfulEcstasy-Touch.
```A happiness-circle
Is, indeed,A great miracle.
```As God’s Blessings are countless,
Even so,My God-devotion-tears are endless.
```Pleasure
IsEventual self-torture.
```If prayer does not have
Action along with it,Then the prayer
Is bound to disappear. ```Meditation
Is the rootOf the aspiration-tree.
```A universal citizen
Is he who lovesGod the man.
```Earth
As seen from HeavenIs an unending promise.
```At times greatness
Can be self-destructive,But goodness, never!
```In my case, the repetition
Of my Lord’s NameIs the compass-point.
```We need our inner vision
To accept the world,Transform the world
And manifest GodHere on earth.
```At every moment
We need attitude-adjustmentTo make God happy.
```Happiness is freedom,
And freedomIs self-giving.
```If you are a true seeker,
Then God will show youHow Infinity abides
In a fleeting moment. ```The desire-mind
Quite often hoardsNegativity.
```Do not make friends
With the desire-mind.It will force you to learn
How to cry, how to sighAnd how to die.
```A publicity-lover
The mind is.A happiness-giver
The heart is. ```How do you say
That you need GodWhen you do not
Pay any attention to God? ```My heart-boat-Pilot
Always encourages meTo reach the destined Shore.
```The mind brings me always
Destruction-messages.My heart brings me always
Satisfaction-promises. ```The heart
Needs everythingThat God’s Will desires.
```If you really love God,
Then never ask HimTo reverse
His most significant Decisions. ```If it is an aspiration-heart,
Then it has to side with God’s WillAlways.
```The heart has to be always
Duty-boundTo fulfil God’s Mission
On earth. ```God will extol you to the skies
If you are always praying to GodTo grant you
What He Himself likes most:A surrender-song.
```God wants me to walk
By the shoreOf His Compassion-Sea
Every day. ```From now on
My heart shall driveAnd my mind shall ride.
```From now on
God will take the driver’s seatIn my life-car.
```In oneness
There is no fear.No fear can ever chase
My God-oneness-heart. ```Because of my God-surrender-life,
I am finally breathingThe essence of divine breath.
```We can disarm
All our fearsJust by challenging them
With a smile. ```My Lord Supreme begins and ends
His Life-BookWith Compassion, Concern and Love.
```God’s Compassion shakes hands
Not with my capacitiesBut with my surrender-smile-heart.
```O Immortality,
Do tell me why you hide.Please carry me inside
Your heart. ```I am God’s slave.
His Will to followIs my only will.
```Ignorance plays
With my lifeOnly when God goes away.
```To purify our mind’s
Thought-ocean,What we need
Is only peace. ```The mind cries for invention.
The heart cries for discovery —Self-discovery.
```Alas, when shall we realise
That all the desire-roadsAre rocky and hilly?
```Faith
Is a most beautiful flower.It descends from Heaven
To greet our tears. ```My mind
May be either here or there,But my heart is always
All-where. ```The old age taught us:
We are all children of God.The new age teaches us:
We are all Gods. ```There can be many ways,
But there is only one doorTo enter into the Forgiveness-Heart
Of our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```Heaven on earth I see
Only in my heart’sMeditation-room.
```To change the world around you,
Give the worldWhat you have
And serve the worldWith what you are.
```Loneliness fades away
The moment we start livingInside our heart-home.
```The human in me
Requires everythingFrom God.
The divine in meInspires everything
That embodies God. ```God does not want
To hide.God always wants
To be at our side. ```You just pray and meditate.
God will demonstrateYour capacities.
```My mind knows how
To attack my heart.My heart knows how
To beckon my mind. ```Alas,
When I ask my mindTo go away,
It does not listen. ```Alas,
When I beg my heartTo come and stay with me,
My heart refuses. ```If we know
Where God’s Lap is,Only then shall we be able
To readThe universal map.
```Precious and spacious
The aspiring heart has to remainAlways.
```When silence
Clears my mind,I become the power of bliss.
```Every morning
I await the clarion callOf newness and fulness.
```Do not rest
Until you find yourselfIn the heart
Of tranquillity-nest. ```I am desperately trying
To throwAll my tragedy-plays
Out of my life. ```How can we ever reach
The sublime,When we indefinitely
Waste time? ```The adamantine will
Is the challengerOf impossibilities.
```I enjoy my heart’s sunrise
And my mind’s pride-demiseAt the same time.
```My willingness means
My God-addition-smile.My unwillingness means
God’s birthless and deathless distress. ```There are only two things
To remember:I must never give up;
God is watching me. ```We shall serve God
Most satisfactorilyIf we can tolerate
The intolerable. ```God does not believe in instruction.
He believes only in illumination —My illumination.
```The human life
Loves to danceWith earthly desire-fire.
```Self-doubt
Is the very beginning of deathIn the spiritual life,
Even while we are still alive. ```The devotion of the heart
Is sweeter than the sweetestAnd faster than the fastest
To pleaseThe Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme.
```God wants
Each and every human lifeTo be absolutely equal to
His highest Commands. ```The soul is extremely eager
To observeThe seeker’s progress-breath.
```Nobody
Can properly understandLife’s countless riddles.
```Our faith
Speaks the languageOf the unfathomable.
```A devotion-heart
Is commanded by God HimselfTo run towards Him.
```To know God’s Secrets
Is not an impossible task.But if we want to make
Speedy progress,Then all our secrets
We must offer to GodOpenly, lovingly and self-givingly.
```A true seeker
Is he who adorns GodWith his heart’s aspiration-flames
And his life’s devotion-garland. ```The divine victory
Can be manifestedOnly on the seeker’s
Surrender-summit. ```I have given my heart,
I have given my breathOnly for God’s Feet
To utilise. ```Even when God tries very hard
To escape from the seeker’sGenuine devotion-heart,
He fails. ```Aspiration-fire
Is at every moment neededTo burn up
All our undivine qualities. ```God wants us to play our role
Self-givinglyAccording to our capacities.
He does not expect anything more. ```The Love of the Absolute
Beckons us at every momentTo spread it all-where.
```Not many
But only very few seekersCan enter the portals
Of world-harmony-paradise. ```The Master does have the capacity
To wipe away his disciple’sTeeming mind-doubts
At a glance,Provided the disciple’s mind
Is all sincerityAnd his life is all simplicity.
```Every day the soul is eager
To provide usWith new inspiration, aspiration
And dedication-songs. ```God whispers,
“My children, allow Me,Allow Me only to work
In and through your lives.” ```Humanity does not want to know
That it has been blindedFor aeons
By ignorance-dust-storm. ```God comes down
Only to see that man is too busyWith his desire-life.
Therefore,He cannot pay any attention
To God. ```God loves
Our devotion-heart-songsInfinitely more
Than we can ever imagine. ```Divine activities take place
Only in the heart-gardenOf the self-givers.
```Nectar-delight-paradise
Shall always remain inaccessibleTo the desiring man.
```God expects something unique
From the adorer and loverOf His Heart.
```God does not open
Our mind-letters.He opens only our heart-letters —
Immediately. ```Nobody knows when
Ignorance-funeral dateWill be decided by God.
```Our self-giving smiles
Win our Lord Beloved SupremeSooner than at once.
```Every day
A seeker must tryTo be in good
Aspiration-dedication-shape. ```The highest promises
Come from the soulTo determine our earthly lives.
```God does not mind
Paying exorbitant feesTo win our smiles.
```If you are wise,
Then judge the worldOn the basis
Of the aspiration-heart. ```No scriptures
Can totally discoverGod’s universal Heart.
```O my Master,
If you really love me,Then come and ride
On my heart’s ecstasy-waves. ```I need God’s Sweetness-Flute,
But I need God’s Thunder-JusticeInfinitely more
For my nature’s transformation. ```Always take
The mind’sPositive thought-road.
```We must not take
Anything that belongs to GodFor granted.
```The mind does not deserve
To be on the heart’sJoy-distribution-list.
```O how I wish I could be caught
Every dayIn my heart’s God-devotion-rain.
```God loves to be entertained
With the beauty and fragranceOf innocence.
```God infuses
Sweetness and fondnessInto our childlike hearts.
```What we need

Of our spirituality. ```Do not allow your mind
To buildDisobedience-walls.
```My inspiration-mind

God proudly feeds. ```Every morning
I listen to God’sCompassion-Eye-Broadcasts.
```Every evening
I listen to God’sForgiveness-Heart-Broadcasts.
```Implicit faith
Must needs beThe cornerstone
Of my aspiration-life. ```Not God,
Not God’s Compassion,Not God’s Forgiveness,
But the very God-thoughtIs my touchstone.
```Not one
But twenty-four self-giving-hoursEvery day I have
For my use. ```My aspiration
Can never fall asleepUnless I allow it to.
```God wants me to be a member
Of His Dream-Team,But my fear is consuming my courage.
```In the thicket of my mind
I see not the beauty of a dreamBut the ugliness of reality.
```The resplendence-smile of my soul
God cherishesFar beyond my imagination.
```God tells me:
“My child, do not delay.When are you going to be
A conscious passengerOf My Heart-Boat?”
```I tell God:
“My Lord,Stretch Your Dreams
On my aspiration-heart-sky.” ```An unaspiring life
Is nothing short ofThe entangled web
Of the mind. ```Alas,
Will I ever be able to unearthMy long-lost
Buried heart-treasure? ```You say you have nothing to do,
O my mind?Then start immediately wrestling
With your doubts. ```When God wants us
To eat something with Him,He always gives us
A most generous portion. ```Mine is the aspiration-heart
That needsA completely new awakening.
```O my aspiring heart,
Let us try to live,You and I,
In the springtimeOf God’s Heart.
```We must be always ready to live
In the indomitable courageOf a brave new world.

```Successful marathon meditations
Can easily be performedIf we have the beauty and fragrance
Of a purity-heart. ```Be not in a hurry
To change your life.Be only a purity-mind.
God will do the rest. ```When I do not please God
In His own Way,I become the wailing
Of an orphan-life. ```The power of doubt disappears

Is there any morningWhen I do not see myself
Deeply rootedIn the lap of indolence?

It is not actually a fallUnless I love to stay where I fall.
```Without mistakes,
Any discoveryIs an unusual experience.
```Every time a desire-mind talks,
It is nothing short ofSelf-deception.
```We get
What we rightly deserveAnd not
What we blindly desire. ```For me,
God has always beenGod the Compassion-Cradle.
```God wants only the heart
To be His authority,And not the mind.
```God’s Will
Is not His Mind.God’s Will
Is His Light. ```O world,
If you want to write to me,Then my address
Is the dust of God’s Feet. ```God enjoys telling me
Again and againThat I do have the capacity
To please Him always and alwaysIn His own Way.
```God’s Compassion-Eye
Is my life’sOnly beckoning hand.
```Self-indulgence
Has to be banishedFrom the earth-scene.
```Every day I pray to God
To inundate my heartWith the Beauty and Fragrance
Of His Love. ```Sweeter than the sweetest
Is my constantGod-remembrance.
```Each seeker shall bloom
At God’s choice Hour,But I pray to God
In all sincerityTo know when my God-Hour
Shall arrive. ```Unless and until we develop
An insatiable hungerTo please God,
We will not be able to arriveAt God’s Heart-Door.
```I need only
One power:Forgiveness-heart-power.
```May my heart-sky
Be floodedWith God’s Nectar-Peace-Stars.
```Do not find fault
With the heartsOf God-worship-seekers.
```Alas,
Only in sorrowDo I turn towards God,
And not in joy. ```To place oneself
At God’s Forgiveness-FeetIs a secret of secrets
In a seeker’s life. ```I shall no more play
The doubt-gameIn my mind.
```When we cheerfully lengthen
Our aspiration-hours,God strengthens
Our heart-ties to Him. ```In the very depth
Of my meditation-breath,I do hear
God’s Ecstasy-Chimes. ```Significant is my heart-cry.
More significant is my soul-smile.Most significant are my life-tears.
```Those who love God and serve God
Ceaselessly and self-givinglyLive in God’s own Aura.
```A soulfulness-heart
IsA God-closeness-life.
```Disobedience is
The strongest powerThat the ignorance-mind has.
```When we devour
The dust of God’s FeetWith our devotion-intensity,
We declare Divinity’sAbsolute Victory.
```Non-stop God-manifestation
Is not only practicalAnd practicable,
But it is also indispensable. ```Each life
IsA God-invitation-joy.
```If I can become
A perfect listener,God can turn me into
A God-shrine-builder. ```God tells me that
These are the final daysOf my darkness-mind.
```Each human being
Should be responsibleFor awakening the heart
Of the world. ```I must open my heart
To each moment’sSupreme necessity.
```Peace-dimension
We must addTo every experience of ours.
```Just a little patience
Goes a very, veryLong way.
```I do not need a heart
That does not enjoyHappiness in others.
```To have peace of mind,
I must stop regrettingThe inevitable.
```In the spiritual life,
We must enjoyEach forward step
Along the way. ```Each thought
Embodies a worldOf possibilities.
```O my mind,
Pay no attentionEither to fair
Or unfair criticism. ```When we do not
Pray and meditate,We are immobilised
Even by small problems. ```If you do not
Trust your heart,You cannot proceed
In the inner world. ```I must try
To fill my daysWith God-gratitude-tears.
```God does not come to me
To entertain me.He comes to enlighten me.
```Each seeker
Is responsible for creatingA lovable world.
```An unaspiring mind
Is a strangerTo God’s Compassion-Height.
```When insecurity
And jealousy rule,Nobody can ever be safe.
```I must not fulfil
The demandsOf impatience.
```Look inside any seeker’s heart.
You will see thatGod’s Compassion-Light
Is looming large. ```When we live
In the mind,Freedom can be frightening.
```When we live
In the heart,Freedom can be exhilarating.
```Ignorance dies
Of old age —Not true, never true!
```When we live
In the world of supremacy,There can be no
Safe and sacred haven for us. ```My heart is longing
For the renaissanceOf humility.
```Remind me, my Lord,
When I forget to call YouMy own.
```My only joy is to tell God
That I shall always beWith Him and for Him.
```My place is safe
Only when I liveIn the heart of humanity.
```Easier than the easiest
To deceive oneself.Difficult, more difficult,
Most difficultTo transform oneself.
```Our dreams are never lost.
God keeps them safeInside His own Heart.
```The soul of silence
Is by far the strongestIn our spiritual journey.
```God has many ways
To teach us,But He asks us
Which way we prefer. ```When my life becomes
A God-dream-beauty,My fulfilment is absolutely real.
```My life will be surcharged
With golden lightOnly when I dare to fight
Against ignorance-night. ```My Lord, can You not see
Teeming tears in my eyes?“My child, can you not see
Streaming Tears inside My Heart?” ```When we worship God
With tears in our heart,God immediately expedites
Our Godward journey. ```My God-devotion
Has dissolvedMy life-pleasure.
```There is always plenty of time
For us to growIn gratitude-hearts.
```I belong to
Today’s realityAnd not tomorrow’s dreams.
```My humility
IsMy God-dignity.
```When we care for humanity,
God blesses us withHis Gratitude-Heart-Tears.
```I must intensify
My inner feeling for GodIf I want to proceed fast,
Very fast, in the spiritual life. ```Death is everywhere,
But notIn my God-surrender-life.
```O seeker, every day
You must try to spreadThe light and delight
Of peace. ```Every day I pray to God
To give me the capacityTo run
An inner ultramarathon. ```My Lord,
Powerfully and not graciouslyBind my all
To Your omnipotent Will. ```O my God-disobedience-mind,
Do you not seeThat you will be fined heavily?
```Do not torment yourself
About tomorrow.There is no tomorrow.
It is all here and now. ```I try my very best
To keep my heart guardedBy my gratitude-tears.
```God’s Compassion-Eye
Has not only touched my heartBut also transformed my life.
```My imagination-heart
IsMy reality-life.
```Each heart-candle
Is full ofAspiration-life.
```Our earth-planet
Is full ofInner and outer threats.
```May my aspiration
Pass from heart to heartSo that we may
Realise God together. ```May my heart sleeplessly
Whisper in silenceGod-gratitude-prayers.
```Oneness
Is the BeautyOf God’s Eye.
```Fulness
Is the FragranceOf God’s Heart.
```May aspiration
Be the bridgeBetween man and life.
```Optimism
Increases powerfullyOur faith in God.
```The human mind
In vainTries to imitate God.
```The human heart
Does have the capacityTo claim God
In a very special way. ```My heart adores
The simplicity-beautyOf Mother Earth.
```My soul adorns
God’s Lotus-FeetWith all its fragrance.
```Humanity
In vain chasesSatisfaction-fulfilment.
```My faith in God
Today is applaudingThe downfall of doubt.
```God’s Justice-Light
MeansMy immediate progress.
```No ambition-goal
Is praiseworthyIn the spiritual world.
```God wants me
To studyOnly in His Heart-School.
```Only God’s Compassion-Eye
Can createSatisfaction-student.
```My heart and I love everything
That God’s Heart hasAnd God’s Life is.
```The unaspiring mind
IsA godless confusion.
```May my heart
Be the silence-peaceOf my soul’s nest.
```A God-surrender-heart
IsA Heavenly Nectar-enjoyment.
```The mouth knows how
To talkAbout peace.
```The heart knows how
To enjoyThe fragrance of peace.
```When I am in the soul
And for the soul,God gives me the capacity
To see the panoramaOf His universal Game.
```The only reward
For loveIs peace.
```My Lord, I know
Your Will-FulfilmentIs my life-enlightenment.
```It is high time in my life
To fulfil God’s WillAt every moment.
```In the inner life,
My God-surrender meansThe song and dance of delight.
```We must never lose
Our focus onThe Goal of the Beyond.
```A heart of gratitude
And a life of surrenderAre friends beyond compare.
```Let my mind
Follow the footstepsOf my God-crying life.
```Not only to shorten
But to demolish the distanceBetween me and God,
I came into the world. ```Mind
IsThe war-creator-demon.
```Heart
IsThe peace-awakener-angel.
```When I treasure doubts,
My heart lives in the nightOf sorrows.
```God’s Compassion-Tree
Every day blossoms.Alas, where is my receptivity-heart?
```My Lord, do give me the capacity
To rest in Your Protection-ArmsAnd Satisfaction-Heart.
```True,
Insecurity-diseaseIs dangerous,
But it can be cured. ```O singers of the heart,
The BeyondIs beckoning you.
```When we really need help,
God comes to usWith two human hands.
```Self-doubt is an absurdity
That ruthlessly attacksA human being.
```I ceaselessly long
To be a childOf beauty-purity-fragrance.
```My soul
Is embarrassedWhen my heart
Is empty of devotion. ```Every day I study
Detachment-lessonAt God’s Wisdom-School.
```No computerised mind
Can ever succeedIn the spiritual life.
```My God-gratitude-heart
Is a happiness-rainfallFrom Heaven.
```The smiles of my soul
And the tears of my heartAre transforming my life.
```Each soul silently
And confidently carriesGod-manifestation-messages.
```A useless
Whining mindI was.
```A useful
God-pining heartI now am.
```I know I have to cover
The longest mileTo reach
The God-realisation-goal. ```We must show
And give the worldOur heart’s purity-breath.
```The Master’s heart
Is his irresistibleCompassion-affection-tears
And smiles. ```The seeker’s disobedience-life
Fails itself,And not the Master.
```Every day
God wants me to collectMy God-remembrance-moments.
```No sincere aspiration
Will ever fail to reachGod’s Heart.
```There is not a single shore
That is untouchedBy God’s Forgiveness-Feet.
```I wish to be
An ever-wakefulGod-obedience-guard.
```Like my soul,
God wants my heartAlways to walk
Side by side with HimOn Eternity’s Road.
```We must fight
And go beyond the mind’sDoubt-boundaries.
```We must fly in the sky
Of infinite freedomWith our heart’s
God-faith-certainty. ```Every day
I try to go higherThan my previous
God-satisfaction-heights. ```I strongly feel
That it is not a far cryFor me to fly
Into God-Love-Cosmos. ```My soul nurtures
Each and every God-planted seedIn my heart-soil.

```Morning is the right time
To takeAn enthusiasm-walk.
```God allows only the crying life
And dreaming heartTo enter into
His Heart-Room. ```A self-giving life
Can definitely reachGod’s Heart-Door.
```O my mind,

Do not wallow any moreIn curiosity.
```O my mind,

```Do not be afraid
Of losing yourselfIn God’s Compassion-Heart-Sea.
It is absolutely safe. ```I am satisfied
With a single God-glimpseIn the thickest ignorance-night.
```I am haunted
By missed and unusedGolden opportunities.
```Your mind-tower,
No matter how high it is,Will be blown away one day
