```The mind suspects
The heart’s achievements. ```The vital rejects
The heart’s achievements. ```The body inspects
The heart’s achievements. ```The soul treasures
The heart’s achievements. ```On the path of love,
We can have a free accessTo God’s Palace.
```How long
Can the mind deny God?Not very long.
```How long
Can the heart love God?Forever.
```May my heart always live
On the bank ofAn aspiration-river.
```Every morning
God visitsOur flower-beauty-heart.
```We love to tell God
All our devotion-stories. ```God loves to hear from us
Only our surrender-songs. ```To know God’s Will
In its totalityIs, indeed, the most difficult task.
```Every seeker
Has to fight againstThe mind-hostility-attacks.
```Let my outer curiosity
And my inner necessityTurn towards God.
```I must smash
The prideOf my mind-monarch.
```I must enjoy
The beauty and fragranceOf my God-surrender-life.
```Each human being
Must develop an inclinationTo excel in everything.
```God has given me
This morningHis Satisfaction-Certificate.
```God is ready to steer my life-boat
If I give upMy self-importance-pride.
```My soul wants me
To achieve the impossible:God’s full manifestation on earth.
```If we fulfil our desires,
Everything we loseAnd nothing we gain.
```There was a time
When I depended onMy physical strength.
Now I depend only onMy wisdom-light.
```My Lord,
I have only one thingTo offer You:
My love.I beg of You to accept it.
```Do not allow the desiring mind
To trampleYour beautiful heart-plants.
```The mind loves complexity
And takes pride in complexity. ```Even a baby step forward
Will eventually bring usTo the Golden Shore.
```The mind and the vital
Know how to offend. ```The soul and the heart
Know how to defend. ```My Lord’s
Only favourite timeIs right now.
```My self-giving life
Is treasuredBy God Himself.
```The heart-intensity
Always gives usA new aspiration-height.
```I never allow
My love-devotion-surrenderTo run low
On God-manifestation. ```Sincerity
Purifies the mind. ```Simplicity
Glorifies the life. ```The inner cheerfulness
IsThe outer depression-antidote.
```I am envisioning
When my mind will swimIn the sea of light.
```God supplies
My morning meditationWith His Nectar-Delight.
```Do not think of your slow start.
Remember,“Slow and steady wins the race.”
```We must every day, every hour,
Every minute, every secondIgnore
Our vital-clamour. ```Innocence
IsEternally praiseworthy.
```If we cannot rise above
Popular opinion,We cannot achieve
Anything significant. ```Each seeker’s life
IsA daring, challenging adventure.
```Raise the standard
Of your self-discipline,Raise,
Every day! ```My Lord,
Even if You do not have the timeTo think of me all the time,
Do give me the capacityTo love You, serve You and please You
All the time. ```I am collecting happiness-hearts
To give satisfactionTo my Lord Supreme.
```My Lord dictates
His Compassion-Blessing-SongsTo me.
```God tells me that,
Whether I believe it or not,I am His partner
And not His slave. ```God has no time
To listenTo my sad mind-stories.
```God has all the time
To hearMy heart-songs.
```I must experience
A never-endingGod-satisfaction.
```With love, devotion and surrender-wings
There is no heightThat you cannot scale.
```I leave my heart-door wide open
In case God comes to visit meWithout any warning.
```Catch me, my Lord Supreme,
Before I goFarther and farther
Away from You. ```We murder our heart-feelings
With our mind’s doubt-arrowsAll the time.
```To try to measure
The power of loveIs simply ridiculous.
```Whenever I sing,
God wants me to singWith my full-hearted soulfulness.
```If our life does not become
An aspiration-enthusiasm-fire,We cannot succeed in the spiritual life.
```We must accept life’s
Up and down wavesSmilingly and bravely.
```The heart-explorer
Loves God-expeditionMore than anything else.
```May my life every day fly
In the vastness-skyOf my Lord Supreme.
```There should only be a rise
And no fallIn my aspiration.
```Each heart was born
In the Delight-Heart-TempleOf my Lord Supreme.
```Each seeker
Has to grow intoA God-manifestation-hero.
```Each seeker
Has a flashlightIn the depths of his heart
To find God. ```Poor God,
Every morningHe knocks and knocks
At my heart-doorIn vain.
```God wants
Each and every heartTo be His Confidence-Joy.
```With our heart-tears
There is nothingThat we cannot accomplish.
```Heart-tears climb
Faster than the fastestTowards Heaven.
```Aspiration takes us to
An ever-climbing height:God-realisation.
```The path of devotion
Is absolutely the straightest pathTo God.
```Do not take a break
When you want to please GodIn His own Way.
```The fragrance
Of my early morning meditationCovers the length and breadth
Of the world. ```My mind-doubts
Are extremely afraid ofMy deep meditation.
```The mind
Believes inOpinion.
```The heart
Believes inGod-affirmation.
```The heart must never take
The mind’s wordsSeriously.
```With our heart’s aspiration-flames
We shall not only battleAgainst our lower self,
But we must conquerOur lower self as well.
```Any unhealthy thought
Has to be discardedSooner than the soonest.
```Without happiness
In our meditation,We cannot make
Satisfactory progress. ```Not only lovingly
But also unerringly,The heart follows the lead
Of our Beloved Supreme. ```Our outer confidence
Comes fromOur inner aspiration-awakening.
```Sleeplessly we must keep
Our spiritual lifeIn God-Love-orbit.
```Love-seeds always find
The heart-soilExtremely fertile.
```When the mind disturbs you
During your meditation,Tell the mind that God is coming
To send it into silence-exile. ```Thought-waves
Must not carry us awayWhen we start our meditation.
```Each inspiration
Is the assuranceOf a new height.
```Be careful!
Each ignorance-thoughtHas tremendous power
To weigh us down. ```Each God-seeker
Must go far beyondLife’s give-and-take game
With ignorance-night. ```May my life every day
Be structuredBy my self-discipline.
```Before we enter into
The meditation-room,We must forcefully leave
All our thoughts outside. ```Hard is it for the mind
To come out ofThe hesitation-prison.
```The aspiring mind has to be
A perfect strangerTo hesitation and indecision.
```Whenever I see that my mind
Is eager to talk to me,I simply say:
“Shut up! Shut up!” ```Whenever I see that my heart
Wants to talk to me,I just say to my heart:
“Come closer to me.Why are you standing so far away?”
```The beauty of hope
IsUnimaginable.
```The fragrance of promise
IsExtremely powerful.
```God wants my heart
To give HimA daily progress report.
My heart implicitly obeys God. ```Today’s gladness
Can easily discardYesterday’s sadness.
```If you stay too long
With your desiring mind,Then you are bound to learn
From the mindHow to make complaints.
```The aspiring heart
Has to be foundHere, there and everywhere.
```The power of the mind
Limits us. ```The love of the heart
Liberates us. ```The mind’s negativity
Is a most destructive realityIn our life.
```If we separate our aspiration-heart
From our dedication-life,Then we will never be able to make
Even an iota of progress. ```We must at every moment
Wrestle and wrestleWith each negative thought.
```Each day
God tells our heartTo rocket its aspiration
To ever-new heights. ```We must try
To doubleOur aspiration-efforts.
```Inner faith
Does have the capacityTo change
The outer mind’s course. ```God examines us
With His boundless Love. ```We examine God
With our ceaseless pride. ```To awaken anybody
From lethargy-slumberIs a most difficult task.
```To our greatest sorrow,
Our proud mind thinksGod’s Game is fathomable.
```Those who offer themselves
For the betterment of the worldAre God’s chosen champions
In the inner world. ```Nothing can be as sweet
As the heart’sGod-longing love.
```Meditation
Means creativityAnd not activity.
```God invites us
Every dayTo fly
On His Will-Wings. ```God answers our questions
With His Compassion-EyeAnd His Forgiveness-Heart.
```Eventually everything reaches
The destination,But surrender reaches
The destination first. ```Listen only to your soul.
Do not allow your vital and mindTo lord it over you
Any more. ```Two things help us immensely:
The clarity of the mindAnd the purity of the heart.
```There is nothing worth seeing
In the mind-circus. ```When God chides us,
It is the clear proof thatHe abides in us,
For us. ```God has only one duty:
To awaken us fromOur age-long ignorance-sleep.
```God wants no more
Ignorance-enjoyment-pleasure. ```There is no end
To our desire-episodes. ```The mind does not know
How to behave wellIn the presence of God.
```I shall bring my mind
Out of the doubt-prisonToday.
```Two things I love:
A God-dreaming mindAnd
A truth-seeking heart. ```We may not know where we came from,
But we do know that we are headingTowards Heaven.
```God has sent us into the world.
We must do something for HimIn return
Here on earth. ```If you wait for ignorance
To leave you alone,Rest assured,
It will never happen. ```When I write to my Lord,
I use my aspiration-inkAnd devotion-pen.
```When my heart tries to imitate
God’s Heart,God becomes unimaginably happy.
```The mind never knows
How to run short of problems. ```I am all gratitude
To earthFor its boundless patience.
```I am grateful
To HeavenFor its endless forgiveness.
```The mind deliberately wants to be
Out of touchWith the soul.
```Wherever we see ignorance-walls,
We must demolish themImmediately.
```Alas,
My life loves to sleepTwenty-four hours a day.
```Alas,
My mind loves to argueTwenty-four hours a day.
```To my greatest joy,
My heart loves to pray and meditateTwenty-four hours a day.
```We may not see the Beyond,
But we do have the capacityTo feel the Beyond
Deep within us. ```My Lord tells me
That my magnanimity-heartIs His peerless treasure.
```How my heart and I
Every day desireTo dream only God-dreams!
```Until the mind chooses
To start running towards God,God is unhappy.
```May my God-singing
Devotion-heartNever be out of tune.
```I surprised my Lord today
By coming to HimWithout an iota of self-doubt.
```Earthly pleasure
HasA very short breath.
```The nay-sayers
Are disliked by God. ```The yea-sayers
Are God’s favourites. ```The desire
That does not bloomKnows no doom.
```Hesitation-thoughts
Eventually meet withDestruction.
```May my aspiration-elevator
Go only one way:High, higher, highest.
```When I pray,
I enjoyThe joy of speed.
```When I meditate,
I enjoyThe speed of joy.
```Is there anyone
Who has no enemiesOn earth?
No, not even God Himself. ```A true seeker gets immense joy
The moment he is assignedTo do something
For God. ```My inner life and my outer life
TogetherAlways walk
The golden pathOf God’s Will.
```God is always eager
To illumine meWhenever there is some confusion
Between God and me.But alas, I do not have the time
For His Illumination. ```A self-giving seeker
Is definitely protectedBy the armour
Of God’s Compassion-Eye. ```We must invoke
God’s blessingful PresenceOn earth
For at least three hours a day. ```Like the heart,
The mind without failHas to become
A sacred God-temple. ```Until the heart starts throbbing
With God-yearning,We cannot reach God’s Feet.
```My depression
Is the enemy number oneOf my God-aspiration.
```Alas, when will my inner life
And my outer lifeBecome truly inseparable companions?
```My God-crying life
KnowsNo intimidation.
```When I tell God
That I am useless,He tells me,
“My child,I believe everything that you tell Me,
Except this.” ```To serve God all the time
Is a supreme opportunityAnd not a dreadful predicament.
```A self-giving heart
Knows no tirednessIn worshipping God.
```I want to worship God,
But God wants meTo amuse Him.
```There is only one thing
That is definite:Everything eventually leads
To the Infinite. ```Once God hires someone,
He does not knowHow to dismiss.
```Age has nothing to do
With a bountiful wisdom-light. ```Every moment unveils
A new movementTowards light.
```God’s Heavenly Drums
Are destined to be playedBy each and every human being.
```No haven
For a pleasure-enjoyer. ```Truth to see,
Truth to declareAnd
Truth to becomeAre three totally different things.
```My new home address:
God-surrenderAnd
Man-service. ```I have brought down
My countless desiresTo one:
God’s Compassion-Eye. ```God is your All.
If you do not feel it,Then He is not going to answer
Your call. ```Never look back!
Yesterday’s failure-daysMay bark at you ruthlessly.
```The human in me
Does not believe in Grace.It believes only in
The winning of the race. ```Today’s aspiration
Is yesterday’sDesire-purification.
```No heart-nutrition,
No God-vision. ```Alas,
When will God-satisfaction-nectarEver feed me?
```The human in me
And the divine in meBoth live
For God’s Compassion-Drops. ```God’s Love
And God’s Compassion-ShowerAre inseparable.
```Only a silence-sea
Can producePeace-waves.
```God does not run short
Of anything,Specially His Forgiveness
And Compassion. ```My heart thrives on
My God-Love-reminiscences. ```O seeker,
Why do you not useYour heart’s divinity-eye
To look at the FeetOf the Absolute Supreme?
```The body’s lethargy-life
Is paying no attentionTo earth’s cries
And Heaven’s Smiles. ```Each dark situation
Has a bright solutionDeep within.
```Man does not know
That God isHis constant heart-chariot-Driver.
```When God’s Compassion-Eye
Lifts me up,None can bring me down.
```There is only one thing
To look at:God’s Compassion-Eye.
```There is only one thing
To feel:God’s Forgiveness-Heart.
```There is only one thing
To become:A God-oneness-desire.
```A seeker is he
Whose life eventually becomesA God-composed song.
```When I view the world
With God’s Eyes,I see no imperfection
In God’s creation. ```Man is man’s
Emergency-mind-hospital. ```The Absolute
Has only one place to live:My gratitude-heart.
```My soul is telling me:
“Be dynamic!God cannot wait any longer.”
```I frequent the place
Where God is sleeplessly adoredBy His devotees.
```God’s Heart and my heart
LiveIn inseparable affection-oneness.
```The visible God
And my heartAre sailing together
Towards the invisible God. ```Every day
God urges usTo plant our feet
On higher ground. ```Obedience
In little thingsIs of supreme necessity.
```Each moment
IsA God-satisfaction-opportunity.
```Do not allow
Any mistakeTo grow into
An Himalayan blunder. ```Grace can be gentle,
Grace can be powerful,According to the necessity.
```Everything about God
Is inspiring,To say the least.
```I want God’s Eye
To take care of me,But God wants His Heart
To take care of me. ```When God’s Eye
I do not use,I just fail and fail.
```If we do not see
God’s creationFrom God’s point of view,
We shall miserably fail. ```There is nothing
That God will not do for us,Provided we give Him
A sincerity-heart. ```The wisdom of the heart
Cannot be fooledBy the clever mind.
```Insecurity, jealousy
And impurityAre immediate peace-killers.
```When we are insecure,
We become expertIn blaming God.
```God reveals His Heart
And gives His FeetTo the God-lover.
```Ego means
A boastful tongue. ```Enthusiasm
KnowsNo tiredness.
```According to the present situation,
Peace is justA dictionary word.
```Disobedience
Does not knowThat it walks
On the destruction-path. ```A disobedience-mind
Gives birthTo a sorrow-heart.
```My Lord,
May my devotionIncrease
With every breath. ```The difference between
The mind and the heartIs this:
The mind uses itselfTo solve world problems;
The heart uses GodTo solve all problems.
```Alas,
I am nowhere nearA clarity-mind
AndA charity-heart.
```The mind-circus
No more, no more! ```The heart-garden
More, ever more! ```Alas,
Knowingly, consciouslyAnd deliberately,
We live in the dark chambersOf our mind.
```If you want to be happy,
Open, inside your heart,God’s Forgiveness-Present.
```Joy inundates me
The moment I start fightingAgainst my suspicion-mind.
```Ingratitude is a loser
In both the innerAnd outer worlds.
```I would like to be
An obedience-studentIn God’s Heart-School.
```Our devotion-applications
God immediately accepts. ```Do not shout!
God is apt to hearEven our whispers.
```O my mind,
It is high timeFor you to shut up.
```Both God’s Patience
And my stupidityKnow no limits.
```If you are eager
To seek God’s Guidance,He is all ready.
```I am found
At two different places:On the top of hope-tree
And on promise-rock. ```My morning prayers
Save my day. ```My evening meditations
Help me to flyTo the stars.
```If we do not intensify
Our inner cry,How can our heart fly
In Infinity’s sky? ```God is God’s
Compassion-Fountain.I am my
Ignorance-mountain. ```My gratitude
Immediately increases the powerOf God’s Blessings.
```We do not need
Outer skillsTo see God.
```What we need
Is the inner thrillTo see the arrival
Of God. ```The mind jumps
On the same spotNon-stop.
```The heart runs and runs
Towards its destination. ```My heart-road is decorated
With jasmineFor my Lord to walk along.
```Humanity
Knows how to kick meAt random.
```Divinity knows
How to bless me with a SmileAll the time.
```The mind sadly fails
When it triesTo pull my soul down.
```The mind sadly fails
When it triesTo fool my heart.
```There is only one game
I love to play:The surrender-game.
```Every smile from my heart
Receives a very special SmileFrom my Lord Supreme.
```I keep obedience-joy
All the timeIn my heart-pocket.
```The crisis comes
Because we are not alwaysFor God.
```When I offer my gratitude
To God,He comes down
With a sky full of Blessings. ```Disobedience
IsA falling and failing life.
```I do not want to have
A voice of my own.God’s Voice is my voice.
```God not only gives us
New dreams.He also gives us back
Our old dreams. ```God is absolutely mine
As long as my heart loves HimAnd my life needs Him.
```My life is in between
My mind’s God-enthusiasmAnd
My heart’s God-eagerness. ```The moment we see
Doubt-weeds in the mind,We must burn them to ashes
Immediately. ```When I am in my heart,
I sing Heaven-songs. ```When I am in my soul,
I write earth-stories. ```Before we start God-manifestation,
Our life must be founded uponThe pillars of God’s Will.
```God does not want anybody
To faintWith God-hunger.
```God wants everybody
To smile, run and flyWith God-hunger.
```God is mine.
This gives meAbundant pride.
```I am God’s.
This gives meBoundless joy.
```We reach Heaven
Not because ofOur good deeds on earth,
But because ofGod’s continuous Blessing-Rains.
```I know why
God came to me.He came for the fragrance
Of my heart-beauty. ```I know why
God came to me.He came to conquer
My heart-tearsAnd win my life-smiles.
```The strength

```The power

Of the mind,The heart gets boundless joy.
```For God to forget us
Is nothing short ofImpossibility.
```Each wrong thought
Takes us one step awayFrom Paradise.
```God wants us
To pin all our hopesOn Him alone.
```God feeds
On our heart-smilesAnd heart-tears.
```Be careful,
O careless mind!Do not overtax
God’s patience. ```He who worries all the time
Will never be accepted by GodAs His warrior.
```Self-surrender
Is the only thingThat gives my soul joy.
```A man of faith
Gets boundless joyBy saying “Yes”.
```A man of doubt
Gets boundless pleasureBy saying “No”.
```Heart-meditation
IsLife-elevation.
```Belief has
Another name:Relief.
```The mind calls it
God-discovery.The soul calls it
Wisdom-recovery. ```The vital
Has to stop demandingCeaselessly.
```The movement of the body
IsThe improvement of life.
```Do not ask questions
If you are not going to be satisfiedWith the answers.
```The mind’s ingratitude
Destroys the beautyOf the heart.
```My soul has been pleading
With my heartFor a very long time
To turn towards God. ```He who has enthusiasm
In abundanceIs, indeed, a God-champion.
```Without complete surrender
To God’s Will,Nobody can sing
The God-realisation-song. ```If you want to manifest God,
You must need aspiration-tearsAnd dedication-smiles
In boundless measure. ```May my heart-nest
Always keepA gratitude-bird.
```We must bring to the fore
All our divine qualitiesAnd shine with them.
```My way of perfection
And God’s way of perfectionCan be totally different.
```Only my happiness in the inner world
AndGod’s Happiness in the higher world
Can be of great serviceTo mankind.
```The human mind
Treasures its old age.It does not want to play with God,
The eternal Player. ```Darkness-night
I definitely was.Illumination-light
I invariably am. ```God wants to establish two things
In my life:Friendship and partnership.
```God dearly loves
My sleeplessDedication-days.
```O stupid mind,
Do you not haveAnything better to do
Than to worry aboutYour future?
```We must disperse
All our worry-cloudsIn our heart-sky.
```My mind’s
Empty barrennessIs shocking.
```My heart’s
Fulness-delightIs most astonishing.
```God’s Victory-Song
Was composed by God Himself,Long before He created
The universe. ```O seeker,
Ignorance-sleepIs not meant for you
Any more. ```No more mind-dictatorship.
My God-loyalty more,Ever more.
```My heart’s devotion-songs
StirMy Lord’s Heart.
```God wants me to be
A fulfilled satisfactionOf His Vision-Eye.
```Alas,
When will I ever knowHow important it is
To pleaseMy Lord Supreme?
```I love the very depth
Of my Lord’sCompassion-flooded Will.
```Happily every morning
My heart reaches outTowards the Will
Of my Beloved Supreme. ```I do dare to give my all.
I do dare to place everythingAt the Feet
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```There is no way to fool God.
When we try to fool God,We fool ourselves ruthlessly.
```God begs us
To gaze into His EyeOf Compassion
Even for a fleeting second. ```When I have a deep meditation,
Then only can I truly knowWhat is important to God
And what is not important to God. ```I am another God.
This is God’sMost intimate Secret.
```Each seeker
Promptly must attendTo his God-service.
```When you say
That you take endless painsTo please God,
It is the height of your stupidity. ```The infinite Truth
Will ultimately be knownWithout fail.
```Cynicism blocks
Our heart’sProgress-road.
```We run away from
God’s Compassion-Eye,But do we ever succeed
In escaping? ```If we do not appreciate
God’s Hour,God’s Hour is not going to wait
For us. ```He who is wise
Flies with TimeAnd never from it.
```Blessed are those
Who consciously and prayerfullyReturn
To the heart of the Beyond. ```Like my heart,
My life has become a pillarIn the temple
Of God’s Will. ```I do not know
And I do not want to knowWhy my love for God
Is every day increasing. ```The longest journey
Is alwaysThe inner journey.
This journey knows no beginningAnd no end.
```Every day
We must consciouslyDistance ourselves
From the domain of negativity. ```My Lord, with His open Arms,
Is welcomingMy surrender-life.
```Obedience
Is the supreme secretTo please God
In His own Way. ```I do not have to look after
My life.My Lord does it for me
All the time. ```If we do not please God
With our selfless zeal,Then it is as bad
As not pleasing GodAt all.
```My gratitude-heart
Has a very prominent placeIn God’s Heart-Garden.
```Alas, we are not aware
Of the factThat our Lord Supreme
At every momentBestows divine gifts upon us.
```I eagerly place myself
And my eagerness-willAt the Feet
Of my Lord Supreme. ```My aspiration-heart
Is frequentedBy God’s blissful Eye.
```If we really love God,
Then His Will becomesTangible and visible.
```If you are determined
To please God at any cost,Then God-realisation cannot remain
A far cry. ```There is no problem
That God-surrenderCannot solve.
```We must prayerfully
And soulfully open the letterOf God’s highest Will.
```It is high time for us to exercise
Our heart-powerAnd no more our mind-power.
```Every day
God asks my soulTo take dictation from Him.
```Everything has
A deeper reality —And my heart believes in it.
```My heart’s inner silence only
Has the capacityTo silence the outer sound.
```Do not invite pleasure.
It will destroy youBefore long.
```Where can you find
Peace of mind,If not in the Eye
Of our Lord Supreme? ```Never use
The mind-boat.It is not safe at all.
```My heart thrives only
On God-attention. ```Be at every moment
A God-adventure-loverTo fly on the wings
Of positive thoughts. ```God uses His Love-Net
Every day, every hour,Every second
To catch the seeker-hearts. ```I serve my Lord
With my eagerness-eyesAnd eagerness-hands.
```My will
Has a special place:God’s Feet.
```Since God and His Will
Were not born yesterday,They can easily take care of us.
```As a thirsty man
Longs for water,My heart is thirsty
For my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```Acceptance
Is what life meansTo God.
```Ignorance-battlefield
And ignorance-soldiersCan be seen everywhere.
```If we jump into our duties
With all our eagerness-gratitude-fulness,God-realisation will not remain
A far cry. ```May my heart-garden
GleamWith secret and sacred treasures.
```At long last
My heart-faith has silencedMy mind-doubts.
```God’s Compassion-Voice
Rings outIn the wilderness.
```Fame does not go to Heaven.
Our heart’s oneness-game onlyGoes to Heaven.
```I love God-Whispers
More than anything else. ```With my inspiration-mind,
I come toMy aspiration-home.
```With my aspiration-heart,
I go toGod’s Palace.
```Silence
Is a close relativeOf peace.
```I must make
My philosophy applicableTo my life.
```Worldliness-mind
And spirituality-heartAre two perfect strangers.
```May my dedication-life
Revolve aroundMy Lord’s Compassion-Eye.
```There is only one prayer-cry,
And that prayer-cryIs to embody God.
```Once again
God wants me to be myselfInside His Compassion-Heart.
```When my mind
Wants me to be a visionary,I vehemently protest.
```When my heart
Wants me to be a saint,I immediately jump up with joy.
```My Lord,
Where can I find YouInside my life?
“My child,You can find Me easily
Inside your heart.” ```God ceaselessly whispers
Fondness to meAnd wants me to do the same.
```Godliness means
A God-oneness-life. ```God wants me
To find Him againInside my heart-cries
And nowhere else. ```Impurity
Strangles us. ```Purity
Struggles with us. ```When we listen
To God’s FootstepsDevotedly,
We take a million stepsTowards our Heavenly abode.
```To hear our soul’s message,
We must first establish friendshipWith our heart.
```Happiness is our return
To our long-soughtHeaven-home.
```My joy loves to live with God
And in God,And nowhere else.
```I must play
For many hours a dayWith my soul-child.
```The moment I touch
God’s Feet,My life pulsates
With joy ineffable. ```The mind always turns
A deaf earTo my heart-flute.
```If you want to unite yourself
With God’s Will,First you must reunite
With yourself. ```God’s invisibility
Is notA permanent thing.
```Man’s ignorance-life
Proudly relishesIts own self-sufficiency.
```We must love equally
God the OneAnd God the many.
```The real God-prayer
LivesEven long after death.
```Our prayers
Follow GodFar beyond death.
```My Lord,
Do find me once againInside my purity-heart.
```A negativity-mind
And a peace-heartAre like the North Pole
And the South Pole. ```God cannot believe
His Eye and EarsIn regard to my
God-unwillingness-mind. ```Every day and every moment
Is a very special giftFrom Above.
```I want to think the way
My Lord Supreme thinks —This world is heading towards
Perfection. ```Every day God presents us
With new waysTo fulfil Him on earth.
```God asks
Only my surrenderWhat it actually needs.
```My heart is always in need of
More of the Feet-dustOf my Lord Supreme.
```Every day I feast
On God-Forgiveness-LightAnd Delight.
```Even God is anxious to know
What I do dailyFor the betterment
Of humanity. ```To have curiosity in our mind
To see GodIs, indeed, a rare thing.
```I am extremely eager
To fulfilMy Lord’s slightest desire.
```My Lord,
I definitely knowYou cannot escape
From my longing heart-cage. ```The outer world
Is a constant problemFor the inner world.
```God definitely forgives the mind
When it truly cravesFor God’s Forgiveness-Feet.
```If the vital truly wants
To serve God,Then the vital has to be all the time
With the heart. ```Alas, I am afraid of God.
Therefore I hide.What does God want?
He wants me to ride with HimIn His own Chariot
Instead of hiding. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 24, Agni Press, 2002
