I shall fly to the height
That has never been touched. ```If you are afraid
Of the battlefield of life,Then God will never claim you
To be His own. ```We need inner strength
In measureless measureTo serve humanity.
```Inspirations and aspirations
Have to become realityIn life.
```Without an indomitable will,
We cannot reachGod’s Palace.
```Each human being is unique,
For each human beingHas a special role to play
In God’s Cosmic Dance. ```The beginning
Always has to be simple,Sincere and pure.
Only then can we arriveAt the destination
Most gloriously. ```It is not the outer strength
But the inner strengthThat we need
To keep pace with God. ```Not when I am with God
But when I devourThe dust of God’s Feet,
My heart gets peace infinite. ```The willingness of the mind
AndThe eagerness of the heart
Can easily follow GodWherever He goes.
```When you are in God
And for God,There is only one direct direction.
```God wants us to be aware
Of Him,Not beware of Him.
```Possession is the descent
Of the heart. ```Sacrifice is the ascent
Of life. ```There should be a balance
Between the inner lifeAnd the outer life.
If not, life fails to succeed. ```Anger says:
“I can.” ```Peace says:
“I am.” ```If we do not care for others,
In spite of their objectionable behaviour,We will not be able to reach
Our Destination. ```Emotion is not devotion.
Devotion is the mutual magnetic pullBetween the Master and the disciple.
```God loves my secret tears
Self-givingly. ```God loves my open smiles
Proudly. ```If we do not embrace life
With enthusiasm, eagernessAnd determination,
How can we ever be faithful servitorsOf God?
```Forgive generously
To become immediatelyA God-satisfaction-heart.
```Only if God is really precious to us
Will we become really anxiousTo please God.
```When we speak with our minds,
We use the words that haveNo weight.
```Solitude communicates
With GodIn a very special way.
```A real Master
Is always anxious and eagerTo shelter us
From all the turbulent weatherOf life.
```As time goes on,
May my self-giving joy increaseMore and more.
```God does not want us
To return anything.He just wants us to increase
And increaseAll His blessingful Gifts.
```The source of God-manifestation
IsOur heart’s aspiration.
```God tells us what to do.
Alas,We do what we feel like doing.
```Both God and I
Expect attentionFrom each other.
```If I can become

```God highly appreciates
Our claimOn His Compassion-Eye.
```God wants us to be

We just have to believe it. ```My mind,
Why do you remain a prisonerOf the past, why?
Nobody is forcing you. ```When the inner necessity
Compels us to love God,We run very fast.
```We must feel the pulse
Of God’s LoveAt every moment.
```Continue, continue your aspiration.
No failure can mar the beautyOf your aspiration.
```Shun the unfair activities
Of the world. ```Mother Earth,
Full of compassion,Absorbs the sorrows
Of her children. ```The prayers of humility
God hears first. ```Generations and generations
Have waited for justice,But yet there is no hope to see
Even an iota of justice in this world. ```Plant abundant faith
If you want to succeedIn any field of your life.
```The silence of the hidden God
Illumines and fulfilsThe outer world.
```No misfortune will be able
To prevailIn the spiritual life.
```As there is no limit
To our mind-information,There is no limit
To our heart-illumination. ```When I give my mind
A closer look,I see it is completely empty
Of God. ```God comes to us
With His Compassion-Eye.We go to God
With our dedication-smiles. ```The divine in me
Always tells me one thing:God is all there is.
```God the Compassion
Surrounds the seeker’s past, presentAnd future life.
```God does His duty:
He answers my questions.But I do not listen
To Him. ```Self-giving

```How can anybody be

```God can heal any suffering.

```God wants to work

```Not moving forward means

```Be careful!
Your time also will comeTo tell the world

```There is no such thing

In the spiritual life. ```Anything that is great
May be immortal,But anything that is good
Is bound to be immortal. ```I have tried in my own way
To please my Lord SupremeMany times.
Even in my own way,I have sadly failed.
```The more we find the truth,
The more we should seekTo arrive
At a higher truth. ```There are many questions
In my mind.My self-giving is the only real answer.
```Alas,
We are blind,Even to imminent dangers.
```The mind and the vital
Are always in collusionTo disgrace the heart.
```I need badly
My soul’s high recommendationsTo my Lord Supreme.
```My Lord Supreme always wants
All citizens of the worldTo be around Him

With new, inspiring,Illumining and fulfilling gifts,
Yet we remainOur unsaid “thank you”.

```It is our choice
Whether to become a God-loverOr a God-server.
God will be equally satisfiedWith us.
```There is no specific hour
For us to studyAt God’s Heart-School.
We can join at any time. ```We cannot conquer anybody’s heart
With power,But with love we can easily conquer
Even God’s Heart. ```Alas, I waste and waste my days
In performing desire-plays. ```My outer smiles

```An ingratitude-heart
IsA first-class failure.

Of Mother Earth?Do I not see Mother Earth’s heart
Bleeding? ```Our indulgence-life
In our aspiration-heartIs always dangerous.
```Be not

```Morning gives me
Its beauty. ```Evening gives me

```The difference between

The mind is world-possession-hunger,The heart is God-union-hunger.
```A seeker must dive deep within
To see what is inGod’s Heart-Depth.
```We must not allow anything

```O my mind,
I advise you not to live any moreInside ignorance-cave.
```The life of the mind
LivesIn darkness.
```Mine is the heart
That meditates on GodFor the Smiles of His Compassion-Eye.
```The soul becomes extremely proud
Of the vitalWhen the vital wants to serve God
Sincerely. ```I cannot believe that
Humanity’s mind and humanity’s vitalAll of a sudden are running together
Towards God’s golden Abode. ```God has so many secrets
To share with us,But, alas, we do not pay any attention.
```As God knows that we have
Many problems,Even so, His Heart has
All the solutionsFor each and every problem of our life.
```If our aspiration is sincere,
God will always allow usTo fly with our soul
In His Infinity’s Heart-Sky. ```Finally my dream has come true:
My Lord has arrivedAnd my mind has departed.
```What does God love to do?
He loves to sit back and watchHis Cosmic Play.
```There is only one story

```By nature God favours

```I have completely
DestroyedMy earth-bound desires.
```My vital has decided
To live onlyFor God’s ever-protecting Feet.
```God’s Joy knows no bounds
When He sees that the doubting mindIs surrendering
To the love-faith. ```When we lighten
Somebody else’s life,God immediately enlightens
Our mind. ```The mind loves
To turn its faceAway from God.
```The heart loves to sit at God’s Feet,
To see the Beauty of God’s FaceAnd to enjoy the Fragrance of God’s
Sweetness-Heart. ```Mine is the heart
That is a devotion-bridgeTo my Lord’s Heart.
```God never keeps
His Satisfaction-Smiles Above.He keeps them here,
In the aspiring heart of humanity. ```The mind knows
That there is a sunlit path,But it refuses
To walk along the path. ```I shall never be able to go
To my Lord SupremeWithout my heart-tears.
```I do not know how the human mind
Can be so stupidAs to walk for centuries
In the wrong direction. ```What does ignorance do?
Ignorance robs our mindAnd plunders our heart.
```Right from the day I entered into
The spiritual life,I accepted God’s Will
As my only will. ```My prayer-life is satisfied
With a fewGod-Compassion-Drops.
```My meditation-heart is satisfied
Only when it getsGod’s infinite Compassion-Ocean.

```There is nothing that we will ever have
To equalGod’s unconditional Compassion.

To our Lord SupremeIs our mind’s surrender
To our Lord’s Will. ```The moment God’s Compassion-Eye
Touches my unwillingness,My unwillingness
Immediately and cheerfully surrenders. ```May my heart-cries
Always liveAt my Lord’s Feet.
```God invites our heart and mind
To come and listenTo His Discourse.
The heart immediately runsTowards God;
The mind goes to sleep. ```We are such fools!
We think that when we get angryAt God,
We will be able to achieveWhat we want.
```Poor God,
At last He has to giveMy disobedience-mind
An ultimatum. ```A gratitude-heart
Pleases GodSooner than at once.
```God cradles my surrender-life
Between His EyeAnd His Heart.
```Do not ignore
Mother Earth!She is our Lord’s Body.
```The seeker finds his obedience
To God’s WillTo be sweetness par excellence.
```My Lord whispers
And shows meWhere my heart-key
Is misplaced. ```When I tell my Lord
All about my headache,He says to me:
“My child,Your headache
Is nothing short ofMy heart attack.”
```There shall come a time
When our dry mindWill develop God-affection,
God-love and God-fondness. ```Whenever the mind
Approaches God,It is all complaints.
```Whenever the heart
Approaches God,It is all love, devotion
And surrender. ```The heart loves to kneel
At God’s FeetSelf-givingly.
```There is nothing
That cannot be accomplishedWith our constant
God-obedience. ```The mind
Is not brave enoughTo be
In God’s company. ```The heart loves
And stays inGod’s company
All the time. ```Each seeker is blessed
With thousands of promises. ```God’s Joy knows no bounds

That he will fulfil GodIn His own Way.
```Each morning

```Each morning

```God’s Concern for humanity
Is His unparalleled speciality. ```There has never been a time
When God has closed His Eyes. ```My Lord is always eager
To give my mindHis address.
My mind immediately rejectsGod’s blessingful offer.
```My mind thinks that
There shall come a timeWhen I will stop satisfying
And pleasing God —An absurd idea, indeed.
```The aspiring heart
Loves to adore GodEvery minute
In minute detail. ```Among the Heaven-climbers,
The tears of my heartAre the fastest.
```Why does God hesitate
To descend to earth?Because He feels
Humanity is not going to accept HimIn His own Way.
```Never too late
For my Godward journey. ```My vital and my body
Unfortunately take my mind’s sideIn everything.
```God wants my life to be

Every time and everywhere. ```Turbulence

By the chorus of angels. ```The devotion-life
Never ages. ```When our heads and hearts
Are united in prayer,Faster than the fastest
We run towards our Destination. ```God tells us that

```If it is a devotion-heart,
Then it must treasureGod’s Will
Above all else. ```When the inner sun
Begins to rise,Our God-realisation-road
Starts shortening. ```God shelters my heart
In His Satisfaction-Embrace. ```God’s Invitation
I takeAs His Command.
```A oneness-heart
Has noPersonality problems.
```In the spiritual life,
Desperation does not help usIn any way.
```Spiritual progress
KnowsNo final end.
```My Lord,
I feel that You areMy only own.
```Every day
I feel that I amA newborn child
In God’s Lap. ```False devotion quite often
Plays its role successfully.The seeker may not even be
Aware of it. ```Never house any regret —
This should beYour spiritual motto.
```May I be
A permanent seeker-slaveAt God’s Feet.
```God is always ready
To teach us the musicOf His Silence.
```I can never know myself
Without God’sUnconditional help.
```God tells me,
“My child,You have a sacred place
And not a secret placeIn My Heart.”
```We must see everything
From God’s point of view. ```Earthly friends,
In God’s view,Do not last for good.
```God asks me to give Him
A listOf my unanswered questions.
```My soul is ready
To live everywhere,Except in my pride-mind.
```Joy is a friend
Of myHeart-pilgrimage.
```The heart’s faithfulness
AndThe mind’s willingness
Must go together. ```The mind wants
To be pleased by God.The heart wants
To please God. ```Alas,
The vital lovesTo take depression
As its possession. ```O desire,
Will there be no timeWhen you can retire?
```Do not allow anybody
To arrest your progressTo the summit-heights.
```When I pray,
I feel God around me.When I meditate,
I see God inside me. ```You can easily wake up
From ignorance-sleep.You certainly can.
```We must break asunder
Our insecurity-chains. ```God-Victory-songs
I must singDay and night,
And no other songs. ```I must return
From my mind-jungleTo my heart’s
Aspiration-garden. ```Human life
Is full of loud sounds.Divine life
Is silence-fountain. ```God wants us
To beHis Satisfaction-Realities.
```I love aspiration-blooms
And dedication-blossomsEqually.
```The mind loves to live
In expectation-land.The heart wants to live
In hope-land.And I want to live only
In reality-land. ```The willingness-river
Of the heartMust never be allowed
To become stagnant. ```Never be afraid of
Ignorance-battle-roar. ```Do not allow
Tomorrow’s worriesTo destroy today’s joy.
```I never cared
And will never care forThe mind-path.
```I adore my heart’s
God-oneness-dreams. ```Try to run
As many miles as possibleWith your love, devotion
And surrender-smiles. ```No imperfection
Can forever last. ```I invoke
Earth’s helping hand.I invoke
Heaven’s smiling Eyes. ```I implore God
To unfold His Will to meAll the time.
```When you live
In God’s Compassion,You can never despise anybody.
```May each and every utterance
Of mineFulfil God’s Will
In my life. ```Impossible for God to cancel
His Sweetness and FondnessFor me,
No matter what I do. ```I must live
Far beyond the horizonOf tomorrow’s golden dreams.
```O my mind,
Just stand up and declareThat you are also for God,
The way my heart is. ```May God’s Will
EnterMy every thought.
```My joy knows no bounds
When I am allowedTo develop
In the dust of God’s Will. ```God is always eager
To meetWith your self-giving heart.
```Each life
Is an opportunity-gardenOn earth.
```If you want to win
God’s Heart,Then cry within
And smile without. ```To displease God
We must takeAs a serious crime.
```The doubting mind
Never achieves anything substantial.The doubting mind
Never arrives at the real goal. ```The strength of the heart
ReachesThe greatest length.
```Inside my heart-sky
I fly from the moon to the sunAnd from the sun to the moon.
```The heart and silence
Are two real friends. ```If we can swim
In the river of hope,Then we can cope
With the world. ```Every morning we must long for
Something deep, deeper, deepestAnd
Something high, higher, highest. ```O seeker,
Do not allow depressionTo possess you.
```Desire
Does not knowHow to retire.
```Desire
Does not expireUnless it is forced to.
```Our heart’s residence
Can house God,The Emperor of Emperors,
As its permanent Resident. ```It is difficult to attain peace,
And it is infinitely more difficultTo sustain it.
```Today God pleads with us
To have a life of peace.Tomorrow the same God
Will command usTo live a peaceful life.
```Where do I live?
I live under God’sProtection-Heart-Umbrella.
```I must never be found
On God’sAbsence list.
```When desire comes,
God is forcedTo disappear.
```Self-admiration
And self-dislikeAre equally unhealthy.
```If we live in the mind-cage,
Then God will not offer usThe vaster than the vastest stage
On which to sing and play. ```When you do not aspire,
You are thronged byImperfection-strangers.
```Every day
We must try to makeOur mind-forest
Free from doubt-thorns. ```Our desiring mind
And compelling egoAre devoted to praise.
```Disobedience says,
“I have.”Destruction says,
“I am.” ```God sheds bitter tears
When I leave aspiration-countryFor desire-land.
```Whatever we do,
We must put our heart-breathInto it.
```The mind
Can never learnA heart-song.
```The doubt-monster disappears
The moment we becomeMost sincere God-lovers.
```The vital is always in a rush.
Hurriedly it rushesTo nowhere-land.
```My Lord, scold me
To Your Heart’s contentIf You really love me.
```We must climb up
Inspiration-mountainBefore we can swim
In the sea of aspiration. ```My Lord, I am helpless.
Catch me by the hand quickly —I am falling.
```When I meditate well,
My heart becomesA rainbow-freedom.
```An Avatar is he
Who housesHumanity’s tears.
```My Lord,
How can I live my lifeWhen I do not feel Your Heart
Inside my heart? ```Whenever we meditate,
We expandOur heart-territory.
```God kept
His Freedom-Promise.Now I will keep
His Peace-Promise. ```God visits only
A surrender-heart-home. ```If we are not released
From our ambition-yoke,We will never be able to see God,
Feel God and claim GodAs our own.
```Forgiveness
Is the fragranceOf the heart.
```Forgiveness
Is the faceOf happiness.
```My heart
Is myGod-awareness-school.
```The outer life of doubt
Will sooner or later be oustedBy the inner life of light.
```Man is
His very short-livedSatisfaction.
```His is the heart
That has innate loveOf God.
```The abundance of humility
Has brought meExtremely close to God.
```We do not have to lose
Our inner freedom,No matter what the outer factors
Tell us. ```Man’s love-breath
IsGod’s Fondness-child.
```Concentration-train
Arrives atPower-station.
```God’s beckoning Call
Has finally awakened me.No more do I cherish
My desire-dreams. ```God’s Silence-Voice
Can be heardOnly by the aspiration-heart.
```My heart cannot endure
Even a single moment moreOf my God-separation-pain.
```If we do not battle
Against our lower self,We can never be God’s
Supremely chosen heroes. ```Each God-seeker
Is a GodIn preparation.
```How long am I going
To remainIn the prison cell
Of my insane vital? ```Self-doubt,
Your time is up! ```The moment we utter God’s Name
Is, indeed,Convincing evidence of God’s Presence Inside our hearts.
```When we ask God for devotion,
We make HimHappier than the happiest
AndProuder than the proudest.
```The mind, by nature,
Is disobedient.It does not believe
In any Master. ```Every morning
We need to be energisedBy the strength
Of our inner faith. ```The age of aspiration
Never expires. ```God expects every morning
Both tears and smilesFrom us —
Tears from our heartsAnd
Smiles from our life. ```I came into the world
Only to loveMy Master’s heart
And only to serveMy Master’s feet.
```Perfection-land there is,
Although it is nowFar off.
```Be ever attentive.
God may appearAt any moment.
```Once faith has seized
Your mind,Your mind’s darkness-night
Ends. ```God’s approval
And disapprovalMake my life.
```If you are firm in your faith,
Then even if the whole worldStands against you,
God will take your side. ```Every moment
Has to be urgentIn pleasing God.
```The wheel of justice
Has its own timeTo run its course.
```Every morning
Before we pray,We must offer our gratitude-heart-tears
To God. ```Do not try to conquer temptations.
Just place them at the Feet of God.Lo, all your problems are solved.
```Doubt tries to measure
The Truth.It sadly fails.
```Faith does not want to measure
The Truth.Therefore Truth embraces faith.
```The mind surrenders,
But alas,Never on time.
```Every day
We must be preoccupiedWith only one thing:
The inner search. ```At the end of each God-service,
There will be plenty of peaceIn the heart.
```The soul points us always
In the right direction,But alas,
We do not pay any attentionTo the soul.
```The information-facts
Are stored in the mind.The realisation-splendours
Are stored in the heart. ```When we are in the mind,
Aspiration becomesAffliction.
```When we are in the heart,
Aspiration becomesGod-glorification.
```God vehemently dislikes
Our mere displayOf devotion.
```May I live every day
Between my aspiration-heartAnd my dedication-life,
And nowhere else. ```Finally
The mind has agreed to studyIn God’s Compassion-School.
```God’s Eye
Is on twenty-four-hourCompassion-duty.
```God’s Heart
Is on twenty-four-hourForgiveness-duty.
```The heart-cave-diggers
Are the fastestGod-realisation-climbers.
```A heart empty of aspiration
Is a real failureIn the spiritual life.
```A mind empty of enthusiasm
Is a real failureIn the spiritual life.
```Be brave and wise
To acceptLife’s up and down waves
Soulfully and equally. ```Only the heart-explorers
SucceedIn the God-expedition.
```Your inner flashlight
Is always eagerTo be used by you
To see the Face of God. ```May each thought of mine
Become an ever-evolvingGod-satisfaction-hero.
```Meditation means
The silenceOf earth-bound expectations.
```Every day
Aspiration-trainingIs of paramount importance.
```Nobody else is responsible
For the rise and fallOf my dedication-life.
I am the only one responsible. ```If we have confidence
In our aspiration-heartAnd dedication-life,
God comes running towards usFaster than the fastest.
```The mind
Does not have faithIn God.
That is no news. ```The moment the heart
Loses faith in God,It becomes the news of news.
```Attachment
Is the uglinessOf our mind.
```Detachment
Is the beautyOf our soul.
```Nothing can be
As soulful and powerfulAs our heart-tears.
```A divinely happy mind
MeansSupremely fast progress
In our spiritual life. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 25, Agni Press, 2002
