Down the sweep of centuries
God-dreamers have hadA very special place
In God’s Heart-Home. ```Whenever I surrender
To God’s Will unreservedly,God gives me the rare permission
To enjoyA grand tour of Heaven.
```The world does not have to worry,
For God’s Eye will neverRun out of Compassion.
```My God-hunger
Is God’sEcstasy-Feast.
```My streaming tears follow
God’s Compassion-FeetOn Eternity’s Road.
```My gratitude-heart
Enables God to bless meWith the dust of His Feet.
```God’s Name
Is my mind-purifierAnd heart-liberator.
```May my aspiration-heart
Spread eagerness-flamesWherever it goes.
```A newness-heart
EmbodiesA rainbow-beauty.
```For a long time
My heart has been searchingFor a silence-peace-home.
```Whenever God has a plan,
The mind immediatelyResists.
```The mind’s knowledge-fog
EclipsesOur heart-sun.
```The mind loves
To walkOn reason-feet.
```The heart wants
To flyOn surrender-wings.
```Every day God expects
From every human beingAn abundant progress-crop.
```Unlike the mind,
The heart has a free accessTo God’s inner Chambers.
```The aspiration-heart
Has dreaming eyesFor God’s Beauty.
```Nectar-delight-dawn
Will appearAt the end of ignorance-night.
```God blesses
Each heartWith abundant aspiration.
```God alone knows
At what timeWe may be helplessly caught
In a temptation-tornado. ```Finally I am returning
To my long-neglectedHeart-home.
```I am begging my mind
Not to surrender to doubt,But my mind refuses to listen.
```The heart-flute
Plays onlyAngel-notes.
```I desire
Only to becomeGod’s Affection-Heart.
```Wisdom tells us
That we must keepThe unaspiring human beings
At a distance. ```Finally,
I have liberated my lifeFrom attachment-prison.
```My heart smiles
At God’sDevotion-children.
```We cannot be truly happy
Until the last doubt-shadowHas disappeared.
```When silence settles
In my heart-room,God becomes
My next-door neighbour. ```O my mind, do you think
That I am not awareOf your secret rendezvous
With doubt? ```The continuation of aspiration,
And not retirement,Is my only goal.
```Nothing shocks God,
Not evenMy God-criticism.
```When I apply
For God’s slave-position,God suffers immeasurably.
```God is always
Accustomed toOur sad and mad news.
```The human in us
Is afraid ofGod’s Justice-Light.
```The divine in us
Is equally fond ofGod’s Justice-Light
AndGod’s Compassion-Height.
```If you are not on the alert
Against negative forces,How can you ever be successful
In your spiritual life? ```If you cannot take God
Wherever you go,Then at least take His Will
Wherever you go. ```We must pray to God,
Even if it is afterA long interval.
```Desire-life
Is nothing short ofSelf-inflicted misery.
```Do not destroy your life’s
Perfection-recordBy mixing with life’s
Frustration-insecurities. ```The unaspiring mind
Loves to see everythingShrouded in confusion.
```God-surrendered souls
Are humanity’s last hopeFor salvation.
```God’s Will
Can easily be graspedWhen we starve to death
Our own will. ```I cannot win God over
By flattery,But I can win God over
With my own self-mastery. ```There was a time
When I loved to liveIn ego’s deserted land,
But no more. ```A child-heart
Has only one message:Unification.
```Lethargy and unwillingness
Are extremely fondOf each other.
```God’s Ears
Are farther than the farthestFrom jealousy.
```Alas, I do not know
Why my mind is boundBy countless attachment-ties.
```If you take even one single step
Beyond the confines of the mind,Your happiness
Will know no bounds. ```Have little,
Need less:This is the way
To inner peace. ```No sincere prayer
Can remainUnanswered.
```My service
IsGod-satisfaction visible.
```All our good deeds
Can never turnTo dust.
```The mind
LovesThe trophy.
```The heart
LovesThe race.
```It is absolutely true
That we can lose GodThrough a single blunder.
```Love-devotion-surrender-coins
Are only usedIn God’s Heart-Kingdom.
```The aspiration-heart
Has to jump overThe mind’s negativity-fence.
```My mind,
Never be bankruptOf enthusiasm!
```My goal is
To reachThe sun-embraced heights.
```Genuine praise
Is, indeed,A scarcity.
```The heart always likes to be
In close allianceWith God.
```We must eagerly
Move forwardWith our heart’s
Intensity-fire. ```The soul’s sunlit path
Is a short-cutTo God-realisation.
```The mind’s behaviour
Is incorrigibleAnd utterly shocking.
```Nectar-gratitude-river
Flows onlyFrom a God-devotion-heart.
```O my mind,
Take an oathThat from now on
You will never listenTo ignorance-newscast.
```The intellect is compelled
To enjoyA joyless life-journey.
```Alas,
When Heaven comes downTo touch us,
We are fast asleep. ```Each time we meditate,
We must try to transcendOur previous meditation-height.
```Because of humanity’s prayers,
This world has stillAn all-illumining lustre.
```I keep always my heart-temple
Ready and eagerFor my Lord’s unexpected visit.
```Receptivity means
An astonishing increaseOf all our capacities.
```Today’s
Aspiration-age,Tomorrow’s
God-satisfaction-sage. ```In the purity-heart,
ProblemsEventually die.
```When God blesses us
With His Patience-Crown,He creates
A totally new world. ```I do not define God.
I just claim HimTo be mine.
```God loves equally
A cheerful mindAnd a tearful heart.
```Hell is where
The divine in meSighs.
```Hell is where
The human in mePitifully cries.
```God treasures
Our mind’sEnthusiasm-waves.
```God
Does not believe inOur promises.
```God
Believes only inOur fulfilled dreams.
```No rose garden
Can ever growFrom disobedience-soil.
```An obedience-heart
PrecedesA surrender-life.
```God
Is not disturbedBy our imperfect lives.
```God
Is disturbedOnly by our unwillingness.
```If you are a true seeker,
Then you must beA desireless seeker.
```To be God’s
Success-Banner,I must first become
A heart-giver. ```To love the desire-mind
Is to surrenderTo confusion-infusion.
```There is not a single problem
That cannot be illuminedWith our aspiration-candle.
```I have come to realise
That nothing can substituteFor my Lord’s
Endless Forgiveness-Heart. ```The outer sun
RemovesThe outer darkness.
```The inner sun
IlluminesAll inner weaknesses.
```If your hope-bird
Has disappeared,Then bring it back
With your heart-tears. ```We must strengthen
Our God-lovingPrayers.
```We must lengthen
Our God-fulfillingMeditations.
```When we dare to dream,
Reality kisses the dustOf our feet.
```My heart cries and cries
For the transformationOf my mind.
```My mind
Denies the existenceOf the soul’s delight.
```No more outer advice,
But inner prayers I needFrom this world.
```My heart-expansion
MeansGod’s true Satisfaction.
```My Lord,
Your single TouchHas given me new hope
And new promise. ```Each desire
Is, indeed,A mind-torturer.
```Weakness has
Its own strengthIn an unknown way.
```If we hate ourselves
All the timeAnd are not pleased with ourselves,
God cannot be of any help to us. ```God smiles and smiles
At my openHeart-door.
```Each man has
An earthly mindAnd a Heavenly heart.
```Every day I pray to God
To bless my heart-gardenWith new aspiration-seeds.
```God feeds only those
Who need everythingOnly for Him.
```The desire-mind
Assails and fails.The aspiration-heart
Sails and sailsTo the Shores unknowable.
```My mind wants to sleep
All the time.Yet all the time
It loves to reap. ```If a life does not have discipline
As its real friend,Then it can neither succeed
Nor proceed. ```My Lord,
May I be my heart’sGod-gratitude-hunger.
```May each thought of mine
Be a burning fireOf God-love.
```From time immemorial,
God’s Compassion-Eye has claimed meAs its own, very own.
Can I not claim God’s Compassion-Eye,Even for a fleeting second,
As my own, very own? ```To be perfect,
Each nerve of mineMust serve God.
```Depression
Is the proud possessionOf a sick mind.
```Life’s self-indulgence
Will never be able to seeThe soul’s God-Effulgence.
```Our hearts
Are infinitely strongerThan our mind’s God-doubts.
```Each God-surrender-step
Brings us closer and closerTo God.
```Meditation
Powerfully takes us awayFrom our mind-darkness-cave.
```Once you accept the spiritual life,
You must shut down your mind’sWorry-anxiety-factories.
```Aspiration
Is when we flyIn God’s Heart-Sky.
```Desire
Is when we helplessly cryIn our mind-cage.
```In everything
We must give gratitudePriority.
```What is human life,
If notSelf-imposed suffering?
```What is human life,
If notSelf-imposed misunderstanding?
```If you are in the habit of compromising
With ignorance-night,Then you will never succeed
In the spiritual life. ```My ingratitude-heart
Is a wasteOf God’s Breath.
```God definitely loves
My imaginary conversationsWith Him.
```Each one has to be
A dauntless HerculesIn the inner world
To fight against the ignorance-nightOf the outer world.
```When we ignore our inner divinity,
Sooner or later we shall be buffetedBy the hostile fate.
```When sadness-sorrows
Creep over me,God’s Compassion-Eye
Is my only solace. ```If we do not use
Our God-Protection-prayer,God does not play the role
Of the Saviour. ```God loves and admires
Our aspiration-efficiency. ```To rid the world
Of worries and anxieties,We must bid adieu
To our love of ignorance-night. ```If you do not have hope
In your prayer,How can God succeed
In and through you? ```All God-theories
Must be examinedIn our outer life.
```He who does not believe in
God’s Fragrance-HeartAnd Compassion-Eye
Is, indeed, a fool with no equal. ```Do not ask God all the time
Questions that are uninspiring,Agonising and annoying.
```To become energy personified,
We must first strengthenOur God-faith.
```He who lives in the mind
Is definitely incapableOf God-devotion-sweetness.
```Alas,
Will the unaspiring mindEver subside into
The silence-depth of Divinity? ```A seeker’s only travel guide
IsHis God-gratitude-heart.
```God does not believe in
Our elaborate plans.He believes only in
Our immediate actions. ```God wants me to take
His matchless AdviceLong before
My aspiration-journey begins. ```Life needs
The newness-heart-songOf God-eagerness.
```Our life can be unfettered
If we become once moreA childlike heart.
```May my aspiration-heart
Be imprintedWith God’s ever-increasing
Compassion-Zeal. ```I must become an early riser
To flyHigher and higher.
```You must ignore negativity
If you want to reachThe Golden Shore.
```We must weather
The inner stormsWith our soul’s adamantine will.
```We must try to discover
The grain of truthIn everything.
```To resist the urge
To criticise othersIs, indeed, a most difficult task.
```When my life becomes
A sleepless prayer,I see God’s Fingerprints
On everythingIn God’s creation.
```We must make progress.
Time does not waitFor anyone.
```Divine thoughts
Eventually grow intoDivine deeds.
```The Beauty
Of God’s CompassionTakes my breath away.
```At every moment
We must take a devotion-stepTowards God.
```May my aspiration-heart
Soar to God’sVastness-Horizons.
```May my God-hunger
Never cease,Never!
```Every morning
God wants me to singAt least three heart-soaring songs.
```Limitless can be
The stupidityOf a human mind.
```God never comes
To a seekerEmpty-handed.
```God dearly loves
The self-givingOf an aspiration-heart.
```Sooner or later,
A negativity-mindHas to change.
```I am alive
Because God’s ForgivenessBreathes in me.
```Nothing is as charming
As the smileOf a seeker’s heart.
```Forgiveness
IsCompleteness-joy.
```Surrender is the key
To openGod’s Forgiveness-Heart-Door.
```I strive day and night
To have a glimpseOf God’s Eye.
```Be careful!
God’s Justice-LightDoes not sleep.
```When we are faithful
To our inner existence,We establish a free access
To God’s Heart. ```Until God decides
To come,I shall self-givingly wait.
```God proudly loves
To cradleMy surrender-heart-life.
```The unloved ones
Get God’sVery special Love.
```No oneness-heart,
No fulness-smile. ```We must stoically put an end
To all our connectionsWith the doubting minds.
```Only one God —
The sleeplesslySelf-giving One.
```O seeker,
Do not allow your mindTo be sullied
By your self-doubts. ```This earth-planet
Is teemingWith sorrows and joys.
```God does not accept
A God-lover’sResignation.
```Fulness is available
Only at God’sCompassion-Feet.
```In a devotion-heart,
The love of GodBlossoms.
```Aspiration-flames
KnowNo failure-life.
```Let me conquer
My desire-mindBefore it devours me.
```If we soulfully meditate,
God Himself unfoldsOur inner qualities
AndOur outer capacities.
```A humility-mind
Is a perfect weaponAgainst pride.
```Each life
Is, indeed,An unanswered question.
```No desire-abyss
For a trueGod-lover.
```Like the heart,
The mind tooMust pray in silence.
```I touch God’s Feet
With my heart’sGratitude-tears.
```Each good thought
IsA heart-expansion.
```Without delay,
We must abandonOur desire-mind-jungles.

```Today is the day
That I am relinquishingAll my life’s sighs and moans.
```Today is the day that I shall promise
To my Lord SupremeThat from now on I shall never, never
Run short of faith,Either in Him or in myself.
```My Lord Supreme sees today
Two shrines:The sincerity-shrine in my eyes
AndThe purity-shrine in my heart.
```No more shall I light
A temptation-conflagrationIn my aspiration-life.
```Today I am blessed
With the capacityTo keep my distance
From desire-life. ```My Lord,
Do give me the capacityTo take
My willingness and eagerness-runTowards You.
```The human body needs
A dynamic pushAt every moment.
```Every morning
I keep my heart-flowersOn my God-devotion-shrine.
```Only the heart-singers
Are always in tuneWith their Lord Beloved Supreme.
```Never accept
The mind’sDiscouraging and frustrating thoughts.
```Human life is always under
God-Compassion-constructionTowards perfect Perfection.
```A soulful smile
Decreases and negatesThe power
Of the undivine forces. ```Love the hope-star
In your heart-skyAll the time,
So that it can never disappear. ```Each seeker
Needs blazing aspirationTo burn out all his desires.
```I breathe in
My Lord’sNectar-Heart-Fragrance.
```I breathe out

```The happiness of the heart
Does have the capacityTo put an end
To the depression of the mind. ```Each human being

```Each human being
Is meant to beA God-manifestation-gong.
```Every day
I listen without failTo God-Broadcasts
On my soul-divinity-station. ```If I do not place myself totally
Inside the Heart of my Lord Supreme,How can I ever claim Him to be

In His own Way,I am forced to hear

To accomplishBefore the suns of our lives
Go to sleep for good. ```A day of complete surrender
To God’s WillIs, indeed, a red-letter day,
Not only for the God-loverBut also for the God-Beloved.
```Self-doubt
Is the arch-enemyOf our inner progress.
```There is a secret and sacred way
To purify our mind,And that is through observing
The purity-moon of our heart. ```Disobedience
IsSelf-destruction-inevitability.
```O my mind,
Never allow your God-enthusiasm-engineTo stall.

In a God-service-sailboat. ```Like my soul, I shall also be
Immortality’s ignorance-challengerAnd ignorance-destroyer.
```We must receive our

```Do not be a fool:
God HimselfHas not given up on you
As yet. ```The path of the heart
Is not only straightBut also vast,
Very vast. ```A clever mind
Cannot prevailFor long.
```A pure heart is blessed

Our achievements. ```Great men
Always feel thatThey are very great.
```Good men
Never feel thatThey are good enough.
```The human mind
Monopolises. ```The divine mind
Visualises. ```The human heart
HasThe God-dream.
```The divine heart
ManifestsThe God-Dream.
```Our dreams
Are nothing short ofOur personal stories.
```Opportunities
Do not wait for usIf we treasure
Our too-much thinking. ```One of the main faults
Of a foolIs that he never changes
His mind. ```He who thinks and feels that
Every changeHas a special significance
Is, indeed, extremely wise. ```I love doing good things
Because I want to,And not because
I am compelled to. ```Here and now
Is the only real time.Dream not of a better time.
```May my God-thirsty mind
And God-hungry heartForever live together.
```Long before
My heart starts hungeringFor God,
God’s Compassion-Eye comes downTo feed my heart.
```In the outer world,
Everything isExpensive.
```In the inner world,
Everything isExpansive.
```Whenever you give,
Give generouslyPlus anonymously
To please GodIn His own Way.
```Do not shout!
God has big Ears. ```Do not shout!
Humanity has no ears. ```The animal in us
Wants to rule us. ```The human in us
Wants to ruleThe world.
```The divine in us
Wants to loveThe world.
```Go forward!
Dive inward!Fly upward!
Daring is the best formOf loving God.
```The divine in us
Sees everythingThrough the heart-telescope.
```The human in us
Sees everythingThrough the mind-microscope.
```Hope has the capacity
To see the beautyAnd enjoy the fragrance
Of the future. ```Rise early.
Achieve abundantlyDuring the day.
```Sleep early.
Dream sweetlyEvery night.
```If we cannot control
Each and every thought,We are forced to become
The perfect slaves of thought. ```Things could be worse:
This is, indeed, a real wayOf seeing light
In everything. ```I give myself away
Because I want to,Not because I am supposed to.
```If you pay all attention
To pleasing God,God will definitely come
To your heart-door. ```If you want to be perfect
In your life,Then do not allow anything
To remain a mystery. ```Power enjoys power.
Happiness enjoys happiness.I enjoy my Lord’s Feet.
```If you are not honest
With yourself,God will not be Himself
With you. ```Every day
Illumine your mind-wayWith your heart’s searchlight.
```If your heart
Does not reach down,How can your life
Lift any human beingOn earth?
```Joy is something
We giveAnd also something we look for
To make ourselves perfect. ```Happiness shared
IsMaximised.
```Sadness shared
IsMinimised.
```My aspiration-heart-happiness
Has no parallel. ```Opinion has only
One very weak eye. ```Facts have
Two perfect eyes. ```Reason and faith
Start walking together.After some time,
Reason gets tired.Faith continues
And reaches the destination. ```The outer education
Gives usInformation.
```The inner education
Gives usGod-illumination.
```Hope is
Our most faithful friend.It dies only when we die.
```Do not allow
Your mind’s darknessTo contradict and challenge
Your heart’s wisdom-light. ```Remember, by any means,
The day you first prayedTo God
With all your heart. ```You are the one
To encourage the divine in youTo far surpass
Not only the undivine in you,But also the human in you.
```Strive for
Your God-closeness-heart.You will succeed.
```Strive for
Your God-surrender-life.You will succeed.
```Strive for
Your God-satisfaction-breath.Lo, your success is
Right in front of you. ```There is always room
Inside our aspiration-heartFor humanity to enjoy
A heart-delight-vacation. ```Anything divine
That we want to giveTo the world
Must be given spontaneously. ```If your heart
Is interested in others,Then your life
Is bound to be interesting. ```Our way of perfection
Does not guaranteeGod-Satisfaction.
```Our prayer-life
Must not beA beggar-life.
```Our prayer-life
Must beA God-fulfilment-choice.
```Forget yesterday,
If you want to beA perfect enjoyer
Of today. ```Those who criticise
Do not know howTo fertilise
Their heart-ground. ```When we do something
For the bettermentOf the world,
Enlightenment beckons us. ```No divine thing
Has to be defined.It has only
To be recognised. ```Our inner silence
PreservesOur outer dignity.
```If you really want
To love and serveThe world,
Then you must take the worldAs it is.
```If you forget to dream
Of higher realities,The higher realities
Will never be manifested. ```To please God
And to offer Him happinessAt every moment,
What I need is utmost eagernessIn my aspiration-heart.
```To bring newness and freshness
Into the dry mind,Humour is of paramount importance.
```My Lord,
You are telling meThat I am not supposed to know
The future,But please tell me
If You will have any objectionTo my walking with You
Early in the morning and in the eveningWith my heart-tears and my soul-smiles.
```God tells me to keep aside
My reasoning mind.He wants me only to obey
The promptings of my soulInside my heart.
```The seeker has to be
Completely flexibleTo make genuine and fast progress
In his spiritual life. ```God leads us
In unexpected ways.We must have implicit faith in Him.
His Compassion-EyeWill never guide us amiss.
```I love to watch
My Lord’sBeaming Smiles.
```My Lord loves to become one
With my heart’sStreaming tears.
```My Lord unconditionally
Wants to beMy burden-bearer.
```I want to be my Lord’s
UniversalVictory-proclaimer.
```Perseverance, perseverance,
Perseverance!You can turn me into
A genius. ```God inspires me
Not only to battleThe difficulties,
But also to overcome them. ```It seems that no force
Is as strong and destructiveAs fear.
```No true seeker can say
That truthWill not be available
To him. ```When we are willing
To change a little,We enter into
A new horizon of bliss. ```The past cannot be improved.
But the presentAnd the future
Can easily be improved. ```If you cannot laugh
At your stupidity,It will be difficult for you
To be really happy. ```God will bless us most powerfully
When we keep our birthdaysSoulful and not powerful.
```Always try something different,
If necessity demands,To arrive at the goal.
```If you sincerely care for the world,
Your eyes and heartWill definitely be able
To prove it. ```We must not allow age
To command usTo slow down.
```Stop blaming
Everybody.Start claiming
Everybody. ```Anything worth having
Is not risk-free. ```No matter how long it takes,
There shall come a timeWhen right will definitely
Be able to defeat might. ```O my heart,
Row awayFrom my mind-rocks.
```Quickly grow
In the inner world ofWorld-inspiration
AndWorld-service.
```When I am in my mind,
I pray to God to give meA quality-mind.
```When I am in my heart,
I pray to God to give meA quantity-heart,
For the heart has already the quality. ```Mine is the unwavering faith
In my Beloved Supreme.Therefore, He has chosen me
To sound His Victory-Trumpet. ```The mind
Is fully responsibleFor the body’s inadequacies.
```To doubt our own abilities
Is to dineWith stupidity.
```Think big thoughts
To untie the mind’sWorld-binding knots.
```My Beloved Supreme
Has played His RoleBy placing
His Compassion-flooded HandsUpon my heart.
I must now play my role:I must never, never draw back.
```The more we think
Of the future,The sooner we can forget
The past. ```When the mind-door
Is shut,Everything improves.
```When the heart-door
Is open,Everything reaches its destination.
```Every day
God asks my mindTo spread
Newness-beauty. ```Every day
God asks my heartTo spread
Happiness-divinity. ```Do not compromise
With the ignorance-world,If you want to receive
God’s highest PrizeFrom God Himself.
```True, we cannot create God,
But we can definitelyFind God.
```Every time we start
To criticise the world,We must stop ourselves.
```To reach your goal is difficult.
But to tell othersAbout reaching your goal
Before you have,And then to try to reach the goal,
Is infinitely more difficult. ```If you do not learn
To enjoy silence,God will not employ you.
```Challenge the fear
Of trying.You will succeed.
```When things go wrong,
Do not follow them.Stand against them.
```Do not let
Your mind-nightsEnter into
Your heart-days. ```New joy enters into my heart
When I declare myself to beA student of life.
```Enjoy patience.
Before longYou will be inundated
With world-conquering energy. ```A greatness-mind
Can fool us,But a goodness-heart
Can never. ```God wants me
To keep track ofMy success-life.
```God tells me
That He keeps track ofMy progress-heart.
```Silence
Speaks the truth.Silence
Can never be misquoted. ```When life is simple,
Very simple,God starts nearing it fast,
Very fast. ```Do not give up your spiritual life
Because of your repeated failures.Do not give up!
Eventually victory will be all yours. ```To the mind’s autocracy,
Do not give in,Never!
```We do not need
Any other teacherThan history,
And this teacherTeaches us for free.
```The power of patience
Is incalculable. ```When we talk
Soulfully,God hears us
Immediately. ```Imagine you are a good seeker.
God will immediately support you.Who cares if others do not see
Eye-to-eye with God? ```When we strive
For excellence,God does not deny us
Our satisfaction. ```Knowledge has the power
To take us awayFrom ourselves.
```Wisdom has the power
To bring usTo our heart-home —
Eternity’s Home. ```No God-dream,
No heart-progress. ```No heart-progress,
No life-perfection. ```If you want to have
A free access to God,Then open your heart completely
And keep the mind extremely busy. ```Life is
A forward movementAnd not
A backward involvement. ```Tell others
When you love them.This will really make their lives
Worth living. ```My mind,
God is infinitely nearerTo me
Than you think. ```My heart,
God is infinitely dearerTo me
Than you feel. ```My life,
God is infinitely more forgivingTo me
Than you can ever imagine. ```My gratitude-heart
And my surrender-lifeAre divine twins.
```I came into the world
Not to blame,But to claim God
As my own, very own. ```There is only one time
To be happy,And that time
Is now! ```Smilingly,
God gives usThe message of equality.
```Without having a God-surrender-life,
We can never createA peace-bridge
Between earth and Heaven. ```Ruthless obstructions
Are man-made. ```Fruitful encouragements
Are God-made. ```To hope is to live.
To live is to seeGod’s Happiness —
Here, there and everywhere. ```Who cannot give God
A little more?At the same time,
Who cannot claim GodMore, ever more?
```Rise early.
God clearly tells youThat both you and He
Have so much to do. ```When we control our thinking,
God immediately startsExtolling us.
```I have made
My God-gratitude-lifeA practice,
A daily practice. ```Like death,
Can we not seeThe whole world
With our equality-vision? ```God never asks us
To define Him.He always asks us
To recognise Him. ```Silence gives us
Three most significant rewards:Simplicity, sincerity and integrity.
```You can truly become
The person of your dream,Certainly you can.
```When you strive
For self-mastery,God-discovery does not remain
A far cry. ```You may forget everything,
But do not forgetYour God-dreams.
```Life can be both
Caring and daring. ```I say what I really mean:
‘I love God only.I need God only.’
```Carry patience
Wherever you are,To receive from God
His proudest Smile. ```Is there anybody
Who cannot arriveAt God’s Abode
By looking aheadAnd walking forward?
```Always carry
Your identification:God-Compassion.
```Unlearning
Is much more difficultThan learning.
```If the past has the capacity
To entangle you,Even so, the future has the capacity
To liberate you. ```If we do not cherish
Our God-dreams,How can we ever
Manifest them? ```Let bygones be bygones.
I shall never speak illOf God the creation.
```You cannot force
The worldTo love you.
```Certainly, you can force
YourselfTo love the world.
```The unkind mind
Instigates us to quitBefore the finish line.
```Try to remain always
Your heart’s choiceAnd
Your life’s voice. ```We must keep
Renewing ourselvesTo see the new beauty
And lightIn our inner life.
```God’s Compassion-Eye
Wants us to grow all the timeIn our outer life
And glow all the timeIn our inner life.
```Open your heart-gate
For God’s EntranceAnd immediately become
The master of your fate. ```Praise humanity’s
Aspiring heartLoudly.
```Claim humanity’s
Searching mindLoudly and openly.
```The heart has a very special way
To see the worldWith the help of something adorable:
Faith. ```When love, devotion
And surrender come,Celebrate them immediately.
```Be one with God’s Will.
God wants to give youNot just a second chance,
But many, many more chances. ```Be as close as possible
To be embracedBy God Himself.
