Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 27

26001

```

Faith-fortress

Laughs

At doubt-storms.

```

26002

```

Hesitation

Means

Progress-smile-starvation.

```

26003

```

I must try

To make my life empty

Of disobedience-blunders.

```

26004

```

The ultimate winner

Is he who plies his life-boat

Beyond ignorance-sight.

```

26005

```

My heart becomes

A sea of ecstasy

When it sees

God the Commander-in-Chief. ```

26006

```

I pray to God

To give my mind

A moment of gratitude-flash.

```

26007

```

No more

Loud mind-preachings,

No more!

```

26008

```

Silence-heart-prayers

More, ever more. ```

26009

```

Heaven descends.

My heart soulfully welcomes

Peace-light.

```

26010

```

Surrender-heart-ecstasy

And

Life-perfection-excellence

Go together. ```

26011

```

The mind knows

Only one thing:

A stubborn unwillingness.

```

26012

```

The outer beauty

Dreams. ```

26013

```

The inner beauty

Becomes. ```

26014

```

Meditation

Is my heart’s

God-Game-participation.

```

26015

```

A dynamic

God-service-roar

Knows no equal.

```

26016

```

We must know

That our God-quest

Is older than the ages.

```

26017

```

I am always available

To my wisdom-soul. ```

26018

```

The Goal can disappear

From the mind’s sight

But not

From the heart’s vision. ```

26019

```

The doubt-venom-dart

Is a perfect stranger

To my heart.

```

26020

```

The silence of the mind

Is quite shallow. ```

26021

```

The mind of silence

Is unfathomable. ```

26022

```

Man needs

God’s smiling Face. ```

26023

```

God needs

Man’s dreaming heart. ```

26024

```

The inner eagerness

An upward movement.

```

26025

```

Devotion-songs

Thrill the heart. ```

26026

```

The sufferings

Of the heart

Can be measured.

```

26027

```

The delight

Of the soul

Can never be measured.

```

26028

```

To live constantly

In the mind

Is to be out of God’s Favour.

```

26029

```

The aspiring heart

Is always drawn

To God’s Eye-Beauty

And Heart-Fragrance. ```

26030

```

O my mind,

Do not poison this world

With your wild criticism

And ugly sarcasm. ```

26031

```

O my heart,

You are sleeping too long!

God-manifestation-train

Is leaving soon. ```

26032

```

My heart-expansion

And

My God-manifestation

Go together. ```

26033

```

Suffering

Can easily

Be traced.

```

26034

```

The cause of suffering

Is extremely difficult

To trace.

```

26035

```

God-duty

The privilege of privileges.

```

26036

```

He who misses

God-duty

Is, indeed, a stark fool.

```

26037

```

When I look at my mind,

What I see

Is a flameless aspiration.

```

26038

```

A oneness-family

Is the world’s

Mightiest family.

```

26039

```

Enthusiasm and eagerness

Are two of God’s

Fondness-Doves.

```

26040

```

My mind looks for

A newness-world. ```

26041

```

My heart looks for

A oneness-world. ```

26042

```

When I am in my body,

Lethargy

Is my capacity.

```

26043

```

When I am in my vital,

Blindness

Is my capacity.

```

26044

```

When I am in my mind,

Doubt

Is my capacity.

```

26045

```

When I am in my heart,

Faith

Is my capacity.

```

26046

```

I am not immortal,

But my love of God

Is definitely immortal.

```

26047

```

My mind-quest

For God

May not be perfect.

```

26048

```

My heart-tears

For God

Are undoubtedly perfect.

```

26049

```

When a disciple decides

To examine the Master,

The Master becomes

Ecstatic. ```

26050

```

When the Master decides

To examine the disciple,

The disciple thinks

It is unrealistic. ```

26051

```

Impurity

Secretly stabs him.

Purity

Openly steps out. ```

26052

```

The mind-pride

Stabs him.

The heart-love

Steps out. ```

26053

```

Ignorance

Stabs him haughtily.

Wisdom

Steps out smilingly. ```

26054

```

To listen to self-doubt

Is to embrace

Hell-torture.

```

26055

```

There is only one thing

I love to do:

I love to chain my thoughts

To my Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```

26056

```

The heart, mind, vital and body

Must establish

A oneness-orchestra.

```

26057

```

Devotion-heart-melodies

Are

Extremely haunting.

```

26058

```

God-realisation

Has to be at once

A seeker’s inner

And outer choice. ```

26059

```

The mind disturbs

God the Doer

And

Man the deed

Simultaneously.

```

26060

```

God watches

My ignorance-sleep,

Only to weep and weep

And weep. ```

26061

```

Do not trust

Your mind-guide.

It is not trustworthy.

```

26062

```

I am extremely eager

To hear from my Lord

His world-awakening Stories.

```

26063

```

My mind enjoys sailing

On life’s

Deception-sea.

```

26064

```

The heart enjoys swimming

In life’s

Illumination-sea.

```

26065

```

My weeping heart

Easily clasps

God’s Feet.

```

26066

```

Willingness-start

And

Eagerness-speed

Are the successful beginning

Of God-manifestation

On earth. ```

26067

```

God whispers

To my devotion-heart. ```

26068

```

God thunders

At my suspicion-mind. ```

26069

```

Our God-longing heart

Never tires of God. ```

26070

```

Alas, my heart’s

God-gratitude-days

Have long departed.

```

26071

```

My Lord,

Give me success

If You want to.

Give me failure

If You want to.

I shall embrace them

With my heart’s equal joy.

```

26072

```

My Lord’s

Compassion-soothing Eye,

Where are You,

And where am I? ```

26073

```

Hesitation-whispers

Are

Worse than useless.

```

26074

```

The vital means

Excessive

Attachment-stupidity.

```

26075

```

The mind means

Excessive

Attachment-uncertainty.

```

26076

```

God secretly desires

My life’s

Outer changes.

```

26077

```

I inwardly desire

God’s inner Approval

And outer Blessings.

```

26078

```

Mankind’s peace run

God takes very seriously

And proudly.

```

26079

```

When I am in my heart,

God comes

With His openness.

```

26080

```

When I am in my mind,

God comes

With His one-pointedness.

```

26081

```

No opportunity missed

Can forever be lost. ```

26082

```

My Lord’s Strictness-Eye

And His Fondness-Heart

I love to treasure equally.

```

26083

```

My Lord gave me

His Oneness-Smile

When He saw me returning

To my heart-home. ```

26084

```

God tells me

That He will never forget

My parting smile

From ignorance-life. ```

26085

```

I must never listen

To my mind’s

Procrastination-whispers.

```

26086

```

Never open letters

That come from ignorance-night.

They are undoubtedly dangerous.

```

26087

```

To my great joy,

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Is planting a devotion-plant

In my heart-garden. ```

26088

```

God-obedience

Perpetual rapture.

```

26089

```

Mind-disobedience

Beginningless and endless

Torture. ```

26090

```

When we walk

With God’s Will,

A spontaneous thrill

Accompanies us. ```

26091

```

What my mind actually wants

Is, indeed, a riddle.

Even poor God

Fails to solve it. ```

26092

```

The heart has

Many special qualities.

Two are uppermost:

It knows how to care;

It knows how to share.

```

26093

```

The mind

Wants to know

The meaning of bliss.

```

26094

```

The heart

Is eager

To devour bliss.

```

26095

```

My God-pleasing eagerness

Runs and runs and runs.

It never hops.

Needless to say,

It never stops.

```

26096

```

The mind

Loves to cling

To its own opinion.

```

26097

```

The heart

Loves to cling

Only to God’s Will.

```

26098

```

The mind

Loves to cover

What it has.

```

26099

```

The heart

Loves to uncover

What it is.

```

26100

```

The mind

Loves to veil

The facts.

```

26101

```

The heart

Loves to unveil

The truth.

```

26102

```

Do not allow yourself,

O seeker,

To be carried away

By the world’s wild ignorance-tide. ```

26103

```

When I stretch

My eagerness-heart,

I see God is all ready

To be embraced

By me.

```

26104

```

God’s Request

Whispers. ```

26105

```

God’s Command

Thunders. ```

26106

```

God really loves to have

Two things from me:

My living aspiration-heart

And

My living dedication-breath.

```

26107

```

Once the wings

Of the God-manifestation-bird fly,

They never stop.

```

26108

```

My Lord

Will You forgive me

If I forget You?

“My child,

I thought I had been doing

That very thing all along.” ```

26109

```

While you are in the desiring mind,

You must abandon

Your God-satisfaction-hopes.

```

26110

```

I say to God,

“My Lord,

Embrace my heart.”

God says to me,

“My child,

Capture My Heart first.” ```

26111

```

Alas,

My stone-heart

Does not know

How to shed tears

For God.

```

26112

```

Of all my friends,

Only my God-Friend

Thinks of me

All the time. ```

26113

```

I was born

To live

The aspiration-life.

```

26114

```

Sincerity has to be always

A living reality

In my existence.

```

26115

```

Desire multiplied,

Aspiration deducted. ```

26116

```

Desire-enjoyment

Means

Aspiration-unemployment.

```

26117

```

Desire-clouds

Chase me. ```

26118

```

Aspiration-sun

Beckons me. ```

26119

```

God opens up

My gratitude-heart-presents

Long before He opens up

Any other presents. ```

26120

```

Alas,

Even now God has not become

A familiar name

In my mind-world. ```

26121

```

I must slay

My jealousy-dragon,

I must.

```

26122

```

I enjoy watching

The world-kaleidoscope-life. ```

26123

```

My heart and I

Must stand

For the unloved ones.

```

26124

```

May my heart-room

Be always empty

Of anxieties and worries.

```

26125

```

The mind knows

How to multiply

Adversities.

```

26126

```

The heart knows

How to nullify

Adversities.

```

26127

```

Whenever God gives us

Something to do,

He gives us clear-cut directions.

```

26128

```

O my body,

I beg of you,

Do not lag behind

My dynamic vital. ```

26129

```

O my vital,

I beg of you,

Do not lag behind

My illumining mind. ```

26130

```

O my mind,

I beg of you,

Do not lag behind

My God-crying heart. ```

26131

```

O my heart,

I beg of you,

Do not lag behind

My God-fulfilling soul. ```

26132

```

The mind-delusion

Does not succeed

In masquerading

As reality. ```

26133

```

Alas,

No matter how hard I try,

I cannot escape

My old self. ```

26134

```

Whenever God comes

To visit my mind,

It is never to be found.

```

26135

```

Be daring

In your inner journey. ```

26136

```

Be caring

In your outer journey. ```

26137

```

The penalty

For my idleness

God has not yet decided.

```

26138

```

This time

When God takes me back home,

I will never argue, never find fault

With Him. ```

26139

```

The mind

Has tremendous love

For complexities,

Alas. ```

26140

```

The soul is always comfortable

With any task from God

It undertakes.

```

26141

```

I take insecurity

As something contagious

And ferocious.

```

26142

```

Difficult, but not impossible,

To escape

The mind-attachment-circle.

```

26143

```

Anxiety eventually

Can take the form of

Negativity.

```

26144

```

Selflessness

A very rare quality.

```

26145

```

My Lord’s special Dream

Is the perfection

Of my earthly dream.

```

26146

```

I have taken name and fame

Out of

My God-pleasing list.

```

26147

```

God loves to travel incognito,

But not His Compassion

And Forgiveness.

```

26148

```

The mind never admits

That there is no joy

Behind its darkness-confusion-curtain.

```

26149

```

Quite often

The unruly vital

Takes pride

In self-destruction. ```

26150

```

God’s Silence-Light

Says everything

Without opening its mouth.

```

26151

```

I would just like

To touch the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme —

That is all. ```

26152

```

I cried and cried

When I was able to touch

God’s Heart.

```

26153

```

God cried and cried

When He had to leave

My God-disobedience-mind.

```

26154

```

When God sees

My humility-life,

He immediately gives me

The royal treatment. ```

26155

```

My inner thrills run

Like electric current

The moment I unmistakably feel

God’s Presence

In the very depths of my heart.

```

26156

```

One moment

We talk about peace,

And the very next moment

We fight. ```

26157

```

Impurity and insecurity

Are extremely fond

Of each other.

```

26158

```

Self-hatred

Is the very beginning

Of a life-disaster.

```

26159

```

Only one message

We receive from Above:

Stop the mind.

```

26160

```

In ordinary life

Our dreams are

All mental hallucinations.

```

26161

```

I shall never allow

My God-belief

To leave me.

```

26162

```

Temptation and desire

Love to play

Hide-and-seek.

```

26163

```

God-tributes must come

From the breath

Of God-gratitude.

```

26164

```

One good deed

In the outer world

Covers a very long distance

In the inner world. ```

26165

```

Each of us has

The most significant,

Most meaningful and most fruitful task:

To fulfil our Beloved Supreme

Here on earth.

```

26166

```

We must not delay

In closing the door

On self-doubt.

```

26167

```

O my mind,

You are all the time

Preoccupied with yourself.

How are you ever going

To get real satisfaction

In life? ```

26168

```

Alas, friendship is as brittle

As a mirror.

Friendship exists

Only in Heaven. ```

26169

```

With our aspiration-heart

And our dedication-life,

We can build

A most satisfactory Heaven

Here in the world-arena.

```

26170

```

If you give me a smile

And I give you a smile,

In our sweet smiles

We give so much to each other. ```

26171

```

Devotional singing

Melts the heart.

It takes us to another world.

```

26172

```

There is only

One kind of faith:

Constant love of God.

```

26173

```

God does not care

For His Lordship.

He cares only

For my friendship. ```

26174

```

A true God-lover

Finds his treasure

Outside the domain

Of money and power. ```

26175

```

You can become your own saviour

If you can remember

Your golden days

Of inspiration and aspiration. ```

26176

```

God’s Blessing-Blossoms

Are dropping on us

Ceaselessly.

```

26177

```

Each divine thought

Is one step forward

Towards the Goal.

```

26178

```

God gets boundless joy

When our hidden talents

Come to the fore.

```

26179

```

My heart,

Like my soul,

You must also give

Your progress report

To God every day.

```

26180

```

With our heart’s love, joy

And devotion,

We create a magnetic pull

That allows us to receive from God

Far, far beyond

Our imagination’s flight. ```

26181

```

The human in us

Loves

Self-glorification.

```

26182

```

The divine in us

Loves

God-satisfaction.

```

26183

```

Your childlike heart

Has made you

A sweetness-flute.

```

26184

```

His powerful vital

Has made him

A dynamo-drum.

```

26185

```

Give lovingly.

God will give you

Seventy out of one hundred.

```

26186

```

Give lovingly

Plus anonymously.

God will give you

One hundred out of one hundred. ```

26187

```

Morning meditation

Makes everything new. ```

26188

```

Evening meditation

And the descent of peace

Live together.

```

26189

```

Each meditation

Must clear the road

To God-realisation.

```

26190

```

I shall not allow

Yesterday’s failures

To haunt me any more today.

```

26191

```

There is only one Friend

In your life:

Your Eternity’s Lord Supreme.

```

26192

```

If you are divinely happy,

Then anything you do

Becomes part and parcel

Of your meditation. ```

26193

```

We cannot separate

Our soulful songs

From our Godful prayers.

```

26194

```

Because of our heart-cries,

No crisis can forever prevail. ```

26195

```

Nothing can be as sweet,

Illumining and fulfilling

As our gratitude-heart.

```

26196

```

If you do not ring

God’s Victory-Bell,

Then life is nothing

But hell. ```

26197

```

When the Master does not answer

Your complicated question,

It does not mean he approves of

Your self-styled plans. ```

26198

```

If the Master’s outer answer

May cause problems

For the seeker,

The Master remains silent. ```

26199

```

We must fight

With each and every

Unaspiring thought.

```

26200

```

Alas, will there ever be a time

When ignorance-influence

Will just fade away?

```

26201

```

Next to my Lord Supreme,

I love my soul

Without fail.

```

26202

```

Every morning

My Lord wants me

To share with Him

All my sweet dreams

Of the previous night.

```

26203

```

We have the right

To do the right thing

And be the right person,

And never to do the wrong thing

And be the wrong person.

```

26204

```

Those who are dear to God

Are examined by God’s Eye

And loved by God’s Heart

Every day in a special way. ```

26205

```

I love God

Because that is the only thing

Worth doing.

```

26206

```

I am more than willing

To be homeless

Rather than heartless.

```

26207

```

I have everything

That the outer world can give.

What I need now

Is my inner world-fulfilment. ```

26208

```

Do not be proud.

Do not be ashamed.

Go forward with humility

And courage. ```

26209

```

The mind

Enjoys being

A God-fault-finder.

```

26210

```

The heart

Enjoys being

A God-Truth-establisher.

```

26211

```

Do not try

To imitate God.

You will badly fail.

```

26212

```

Do not try

To interpret God.

You will sadly fail.

```

26213

```

Love God and become God.

This is all God wants

From you.

```

26214

```

My mind,

Stop paying attention

To ignorance-night.

```

26215

```

When I look at

My unaspiring vital,

I see that

It is all topsy-turvy. ```

26216

```

Anything that is excellent

Is beautiful and powerful

Forever.

```

26217

```

God tells me

That my heart-tears

Are made of

His own Sweetness. ```

26218

```

We must always

Come to grips

With all adversities

Within and without us. ```

26219

```

The power of imagination

Can never

Be measured.

```

26220

```

Man’s mind

Showed me the existence

Of death.

```

26221

```

God’s Heart

Shows me the existence

Of Immortality.

```

26222

```

Since we live under the same

God-Compassion-flooded sky,

Can we not all sing together

God’s Glory all the time? ```

26223

```

I came into the world

For the perfection of my life,

And not for the correction

Of humankind. ```

26224

```

From the spiritual point of view,

Desire itself

Is an inner disaster.

```

26225

```

The mind’s aversion

To God-obedience

Is shockingly deplorable.

```

26226

```

O my mind,

Try to live beyond

The world of rumour,

If you want to have peace

In your heart.

```

26227

```

Every morning

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Draws a very big circle

To protect my body, vital, mind

And heart.

```

26228

```

How far do I have to go, my Lord?

“My child,

You do not have to go anywhere.

Just stay where you are and become

What I want you to become.”

```

26229

```

Shut the mind-door,

Shut,

As hard as possible!

```

26230

```

Open the heart-door,

Open,

As quickly as possible!

```

26231

```

Without God-awareness,

Our life is empty

Of God-fulness.

```

26232

```

Smile and smile and smile.

You will win the race

Against your enemies.

```

26233

```

I do not know why and how

I am now out of touch

With my Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart.

```

26234

```

No more shall I allow

My mind

To be haunted

By ceaseless doubts. ```

26235

```

The moment I enter

Into my heart,

It shows me its garden-beauty.

```

26236

```

The moment I enter

Into my mind,

It shows me its desert-barrenness

And futility. ```

26237

```

God comes every morning

To carry us and place us

At the top

Of our aspiration-tower. ```

26238

```

To my great joy,

My self-indulgence-time

Has expired.

```

26239

```

I must put an end

To my desire-life —

I must!

```

26240

```

The divinity of my soul

Towers above the rest

Of my spiritual family.

```

26241

```

God tells me that

I must not be less

Than the very best.

```

26242

```

The divine in me

Is sleeping.

The human in me

Is hiding

From God’s Life.

```

26243

```

My Lord, do give me

Indomitable inner courage

To fight against

All my outer difficulties. ```

26244

```

I must do everything today,

Here and now.

What if tomorrow’s dawn

Never arrives? ```

26245

```

Without newness-discovery,

We cannot grow into

The prosperity of fulness.

```

26246

```

Simplicity, sincerity and humility

Always get less credit

Than they rightly deserve.

```

26247

```

The very process

Of the mind’s thinking

Is useless.

```

26248

```

God calls,

But I am either busy

Or I do not answer.

```

26249

```

The impatience of the vital

A destruction-force.

```

26250

```

The insincerity-impurity-thieves

Have to be caught

Red-handed.

```

26251

```

As there are infinite realities,

Even so,

There are infinite possibilities

And infinite ways

To achieve our goals.

```

26252

```

Perseverance

Never accepts

Defeat.

```

26253

```

I am sure

God will become crazy

If He accepts

All my mind-complaints. ```

26254

```

God expects

Every human heart

To be

A God-hero-warrior. ```

26255

```

If I really love God,

There can be no invisibility-curtain

Between me and God.

```

26256

```

Take your heart with you

On your way

To God’s celestial Abode.

Then you will not get lost. ```

26257

```

Alas, every day

My mind refuses to accept

God’s open invitation.

```

26258

```

Everybody’s life

Is being shaped

By the invisible hand

Of fate. ```

26259

```

The heart is always

In search of

The soul’s garden.

```

26260

```

God does want to have

Ready-made seekers,

But where are they?

```

26261

```

God wants me to have

A love that knows no limits

And knows no end.

```

26262

```

Perfection

Always comes

With tiny progress-steps.

```

26263

```

Someday

Is the wrong word.

Here and now

Are the right words. ```

26264

```

I clearly remember the day,

The hour and the moment

When my soul awakened

My sleeping heart. ```

26265

```

In the spiritual life,

We must never be afraid

Of the distance

While we are walking along

Eternity’s Road.

```

26266

```

How carefully

My Lord has preserved

My soul-treasures

Inside my heart. ```

26267

```

A gratitude-heart

Means

A true happiness-life.

```

26268

```

A oneness-heart

Invariably spreads peace

All-where.

```

26269

```

We ask God questions

Without answering

His questions.

```

26270

```

Right from today

I must reduce

My world-possession-greed.

```

26271

```

I simply adore

The mind that knows

No complaints.

```

26272

```

Every morning God asks me

If my eagerness-heart

Is in working order.

```

26273

```

I have replaced

My mind-ambition

With

My heart-aspiration. ```

26274

```

My Lord,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Has given me

The inner strength and courage

For any crisis.

```

26275

```

A God-intoxicated seeker

Knows not

Attachment-fetters.

```

26276

```

Infinite thrill

Takes me to the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

26277

```

My Lord’s Vision-Eye

Has irresistible

Sweetness-Beauty.

```

26278

```

To have a living Master

Is to have

A safe harbour.

```

26279

```

Only the aspiring heart

Can hear

God’s pindrop Silence-Footsteps.

```

26280

```

When I feel

Love-devotion-surrender

In the depths of my heart,

I see God

Right in front of me.

```

26281

```

Loyalty and surrender

Are two most

Rare achievements.

```

26282

```

If we do not have the inner strength

To plunge deep within,

Our goal shall always remain

A far cry. ```

26283

```

A oneness-heart

Is the beauty and perfection

Of fulness.

```

26284

```

Each soulful song

Comes down

From a very sublime height.

```

26285

```

The beauty and fragrance of faith

Shall carry us

To our cherished Destination.

```

26286

```

When God sings in my heart,

I do not have to go

To the Destination.

The Destination itself

Comes to me.

```

26287

```

O my mind,

You know only one thing:

Obligation, obligation, obligation.

```

26288

```

O my vital,

You know only one thing:

Pressure, pressure, pressure.

```

26289

```

God shows me

His Forgiveness-Feet,

But alas,

Where is my remorse-heart? ```

26290

```

God-doubters

Will suffer

Fulfilment-starvation-death.

```

26291

```

The very nature of the heart

Is to love God the Creator

And serve God the creation.

```

26292

```

O my mind,

There will be no next time.

Therefore,

Do not wait for the next time. ```

26293

```

May my gratitude-heart-fragrance

Spread throughout

The length and breadth

Of the world. ```

26294

```

Separativity

Is bound to have

The taste of insecurity.

```

26295

```

God-Love-Laws

Must soon be established

On earth.

```

26296

```

Each ego-thought

A destructive blow.

```

26297

```

Greatness

Loves to be published

Immediately.

```

26298

```

Goodness

Loves to remain unpublished

Permanently.

```

26299

```

A quality cherished

By very few human beings:

Optimism.

```

26300

```

What can poor God do?

He is always occupied.

Therefore, He has no time to listen

To my constantly barking mind. ```

26301

```

We must remove

The doubt-ghost

From our mind.

```

26302

```

Be careful, O seeker!

When great honours

Are thrust upon you,

You may forget the very existence

Of God.

```

26303

```

A gratitude-heart

Remains

Unparalleled.

```

26304

```

There is no such thing

As the penalty

Of a failure-life.

```

26305

```

Every day pray

At least three times

Along with

All your outer activities. ```

26306

```

Do not display,

O mind,

Your hesitation-exhibit.

Nobody is going to appreciate you. ```

26307

```

Finally

My vital is emerging

From its self-imposed depression.

```

26308

```

I do not know

How I tolerate myself

When I do not fight against

The senseless waste of time. ```

26309

```

I live between

My God-attention-mind

And

My God-devotion-heart. ```

26310

```

God tells me that He dislikes

My answering machine

Far beyond my imagination.

```

26311

```

To go within

Is to see peace.

To dive and live within

Is to become peace. ```

26312

```

May my heart-boat

Sail perpetually

On the rainbow of hope.

```

26313

```

God-eagerness

The fastest elevator.

```

26314

```

Do not go to the length

Of disliking the outer life.

The outer life has to be

The perfect replica

Of the inner life —

The life of light and love. ```

26315

```

Be not a stark fool.

Your God-anger

Will accomplish nothing.

```

26316

```

Remember —

Earth is God’s Body.

Be extremely careful and soulful.

```

26317

```

When the heart implores,

God asks the heart

To explore.

```

26318

```

God is always eager

To give His Address

To redress our suffering.

```

26319

```

O my mind,

Stop plotting.

Start listening

To the Voice within. ```

26320

```

O my mind,

You will get nothing

By examining God’s way of life

In minute detail. ```

26321

```

Finally I have given up taking

My mind’s side.

I shall now only take

My heart’s side. ```

26322

```

Alas,

My spiritual life

Has been under renovation

For a long time. ```

26323

```

We must ask our devotion-heart

To faithfully escort us

To God’s Feet.

```

26324

```

Faith invokes God’s Grace.

God’s Grace transforms

Man’s life.

```

26325

```

Even an iota of self-pride

Can destroy

All our divine virtues.

```

26326

```

A curiosity-life

An unhealthy experience.

```

26327

```

He who desires only miracles

In his life

Will not attain anything significant.

```

26328

```

We must compose

Our heart-songs

With all our devotion.

```

26329

```

To experience

The beauty of life,

We must develop

A oneness-heart. ```

26330

```

The mind cannot measure

The pinnacle-height

Of humility.

```

26331

```

O my vital,

Nobody forces you

To remain all the time

Alone and discouraged. ```

26332

```

Never believe in the life called

Permanent God-dissatisfaction. ```

26333

```

Since I do not pray and meditate

Regularly,

How can I expect God’s Arrival

At my heart-door? ```

26334

```

Our aspiration can be busy

Doing other things,

But God’s Compassion

Is never busy. ```

26335

```

God-withdrawal is

The worst possible suffering

In a seeker’s life.

```

26336

```

My Lord of Compassion

Saves me every day

From my own inner storms.

```

26337

```

God-separation-misery

Is impossible to describe. ```

26338

```

My soul, my heart,

My mind, my vital,

Even my body,

Are jointly doing everything

To hasten our Lord’s Arrival.

```

26339

```

If we pray and meditate

Every day,

Then we will not suffer from

God-separation-starvation. ```

26340

```

O seeker,

You have two clocks:

The inner and the outer.

Nothing will happen

If the outer clock fails,

But if the inner clock fails,

You will be totally lost.

```

26341

```

If you want God-heroism

In your life,

Then shun your egoism.

```

26342

```

For self-improvement,

The tears of the heart

Must come to the fore.

```

26343

```

If faith is real,

Then it does not brook

Any delay.

```

26344

```

We cannot exhaust

The Compassion

Of God’s Vision-Eye.

```

26345

```

Any fear

A tragic experience.

```

26346

```

God does not want me

To drown in the sea

Of my tears.

He wants me to offer

My sleepless tears to Him.

```

26347

```

Proceed,

My God-forgetful lethargy-body,

Proceed.

All the lights are now green. ```

26348

```

The best surprise

We can give God

Is to become

A God-willing heart. ```

26349

```

A gratitude-heart

Can never displease God. ```

26350

```

Slowly, steadily and devotedly

We must walk

Towards the destined Goal.

```

26351

```

When I speak ill of the world,

I just add more pain

To God’s headache.

```

26352

```

Selflessness is

A seeker’s

Greatest speciality.

```

26353

```

If we have a positive mind,

Then nothing will be able

To stop us

From loving God. ```

26354

```

I must sweep clean

My heart-temple

Every day.

```

26355

```

My God-adoration-love

Has to be intense. ```

26356

```

My life is for

God-amusement. ```

26357

```

God’s Life is for

My enlightenment. ```

26358

```

Every good thought

Is a lap around

My aspiration-track.

```

26359

```

My heart every morning

Cries for the Presence

Of my Beloved Supreme.

```

26360

```

I need a burning yearning

To see the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

26361

```

The mind has

Its clever ways

To surprise the heart.

```

26362

```

The heart has

Its wise ways

To astonish the mind.

```

26363

```

A good many years ago

My Lord Supreme arrived.

Alas, where was I then?

```

26364

```

Every day offers a new hope

That I will become

A choice child of God.

```

26365

```

May my heart every day

Collect and treasure

The dust

Of my Lord’s Feet. ```

26366

```

To God,

Nothing is more important

Than my heart’s smiles.

```

26367

```

God promises to me

That He will keep

My aspiration-life

Under the protection

Of His omnipotent Will.

```

26368

```

God-surrender

Jumps over

All the hurdles of life.

```

26369

```

My heart is

A faithful student

Of my Lord’s Feet.

```

26370

```

Anything that God does,

He does tirelessly

And self-givingly.

```

26371

```

God summons.

My obedience-heart

Jumps up in ecstasy.

```

26372

```

God loves us more

When we intrude upon

His solitude.

```

26373

```

Every morning

God becomes

His boundless Compassion-Net.

```

26374

```

In my inner life,

What I need

Is courage.

```

26375

```

In my outer life,

What I need

Is encouragement.

```

26376

```

Ignorance hates

My gratitude-heart

And

My cheerfulness-mind. ```

26377

```

A truly aspiring heart

Knows no negativity

Or criticism.

```

26378

```

God’s Forgiveness-Hour

Is decided by

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

26379

```

My heart celebrates

My Lord’s Victory

With every breath.

```

26380

```

God’s Will wants us

To be cheerful and peaceful

All the time.

```

26381

```

My heart immediately obeys

Not only God’s Commands,

But also His Whims.

```

26382

```

The greatest prize

A seeker can win

Is God’s Sunburst-Smile.

```

26383

```

From life to life

My soul sings

In God’s Heart.

```

26384

```

An aspiration-heart

Must shun the babbling

And gossiping mouth.

```

26385

```

Unveil insecurity.

It will immediately

Disappear.

```

26386

```

Yesterday’s

Expectation-dreams

Have today become

Oblivion-realities. ```

26387

```

I must spend

All my time

With my silence-friend.

```

26388

```

When I disobey God,

I just expand

My own ego-graveyard.

```

26389

```

The mind loves

To remain captured

In confusion-snare.

```

26390

```

On my God-pleasing list

I place my gratitude-heart to God

First.

```

26391

```

Remain silent.

Your patience will do the work

Infinitely better.

```

26392

```

I am

A God-messenger

Of optimism.

```

26393

```

Exciting, illumining

And fulfilling

Is my self-discovery-voyage.

```

26394

```

Surrender

Is my life’s

Unfinished task.

```

26395

```

My aspiring heart

Has nothing to do with

The God-criticism-mind.

```

26396

```

My mind likes to enjoy

Self-glorification

All the time.

```

26397

```

Whoever plays

For God

Is bound to win.

```

26398

```

My life trains

With two champions —

The soul and the heart.

```

26399

```

When the worst crisis

Takes place,

The mind becomes

The prime suspect. ```

26400

```

I am extremely proud of

My doubt-deceiver-mind. ```

26401

```

The vital and the mind

Mulitply each other’s sufferings

Immeasurably.

```

26402

```

May my mind

Be not confined

By thought-boundary.

```

26403

```

A child’s heart

Is, indeed,

God’s true delight.

```

26404

```

God drinks

His most energising Drink

In the purity

Of a child’s heart. ```

26405

```

Every morning

Is the new beginning

Of a beautiful hope

And a powerful promise. ```

26406

```

If we do not pray

And meditate regularly,

Then we are bound to lose

Our final breath of hope

To realise God.

```

26407

```

The mind needs

An ever-green

Enthusiasm.

```

26408

```

The heart needs

An ever-blue

Eagerness.

```

26409

```

Oneness

Is an unlimited

Self-expansion.

```

26410

```

Every day there is

A monumental tug-of-war

Between life and death.

```

26411

```

The human in me

Knows how to cry

Ceaselessly.

```

26412

```

The divine in me

Knows how to smile

Eternally.

```

26413

```

The unaspiring life in me

Knows how to sigh

Sleeplessly.

```

26414

```

We must not hide anything

From our Master.

He is not our examiner.

He is a constant well-wisher

And constant self-giver-reality.

```

26415

```

Very carefully

We have to unlearn everything

That the doubting mind

Has taught us. ```

26416

```

God’s Presence

Is most prominent

In my silence-breath-heart.

```

26417

```

The mind talks about God

All the time

With no love.

```

26418

```

The heart talks about God

All the time

Lovingly and self-givingly.

```

26419

```

We all have

Sufficient inner hunger

To realise God.

```

26420

```

Rumour

And falsehood

Are roommates.

```

26421

```

Never too young,

Never too old

For God-realisation.

```

26422

```

God does not leave us

When we speak ill of Him,

But it is we who leave Him

Eventually. ```

26423

```

Each seeker must keep

His loyal promise

To his Master’s will.

```

26424

```

Simplicity

Appeals to God

More than anything else.

```

26425

```

Alas, we do not know

How and why we enjoy

Being in the lap

Of ignorance-sleep. ```

26426

```

God will never allow us

To come to Him

If our life wears

The mask of falsehood. ```

26427

```

Not indifference-victory,

But detachment-victory

We all need.

```

26428

```

God fondly watches

My heart’s baby steps

Towards Him.

```

26429

```

May my life-river

Flow always towards

The truth-ocean.

```

26430

```

God plants the seed

Of unshakeable faith

In each seeker’s heart.

```

26431

```

God and God’s Smile

Are very near

My aspiration-heart-tears.

```

26432

```

When I am happy,

The whole world

Prospers.

```

26433

```

When I am unhappy,

The whole world

Helplessly descends.

```

26434

```

When I am surcharged

With enthusiasm,

I achieve tremendous success,

Not only in the world of being,

But also in the world of becoming.

```

26435

```

An unthinkable thing

Has happened.

My life has given up spirituality.

```

26436

```

We all need a mind

Of total emptiness

So that fulness can grow

Inside emptiness. ```

26437

```

I need a heart

That will build a bridge

Between

The inner world of aspiration

And

The outer world of dedication. ```

26438

```

Every day my Lord comes

With His Compassion-Eye

To awaken me

From my ignorance-sleep.

Alas, I do not allow Him to succeed.

```

26439

```

Each heart adds

To God’s Beauty

And Fragrance.

```

26440

```

Here and now

Is the key

To the real victory.

```

26441

```

God’s Hour is coming

Closer and closer,

But my mind is thinking

Of running away

Farther and farther.

```

26442

```

The tears of the heart

Are not sorrowful —

They are extremely cheerful.

```

26443

```

In the mind,

Everything

Is unpredictable.

```

26444

```

One moment

With the Master

Is a soulful hope

And a fruitful promise. ```

26445

```

Only be happy, happier and happiest.

If you can make yourself happy,

God will give you one hundred

Out of one hundred. ```

26446

```

Each breath

Embodies

Divinity’s wealth.

```

26447

```

May my heart

Be a new song

For every new dawn.

```

26448

```

If my God-hunger is real,

Then God will definitely give me

The fastest speed to reach Him.

```

26449

```

Jealousy

Feels incomplete

Without pride.

```

26450

```

The mind-complaints

Cannot destroy the beauty

Of our heart.

```

26451

```

The mind and the vital

Can successfully meet

Only after the death

Of the ego. ```

26452

```

God needs me:

That is more than enough.

He does not have to plead with me

For anything. ```

26453

```

Each unaspiring moment

Can delay

Our God-manifestation-victory.

```

26454

```

Each soulful moment

Can be a solid step

To our own divine victory.

```

26455

```

Suspicion

Is the quickest

Degradation.

```

26456

```

O my mind,

How do you dare to deny

That every day

You make my Lord cry? ```

26457

```

Aspiration

Means the weakening

Of desire-life.

```

26458

```

Aspiration

Has to be always careful.

Desire can weigh it down

Low, very low. ```

26459

```

Where is the truth?

Only in our constantly

Self-giving heart.

```

26460

```

We are limited

By our limitless

Ignorance-hunger.

```

26461

```

Happiness comes

From renunciation,

And not from possession.

```

26462

```

God deserves

A thunderous ovation

For the infinite Love that He has

For His creation. ```

26463

```

Hurry up, O my mind!

Hide inside my heart.

Worries and anxieties

Are fast approaching. ```

26464

```

I cannot breathe

Without being with

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye —

Indeed, this is my firm conviction. ```

26465

```

My soul has only

One message for my heart:

“Stop not, stop not,

Until you have won the Goal!” ```

26466

```

Do not be doomed

To disappointment.

All your sufferings

Will blow away like the wind. ```

26467

```

A dangerous disease:

Not to allow others

To go higher.

```

26468

```

Be careful of your sulking mood.

It is apt to find fault

With God.

```

26469

```

My mind-limitations

Bind me. ```

26470

```

My heart-exaltations

Liberate me. ```

26471

```

Do not cry, do not cry!

If you cry constantly,

You will be forced to die.

```

26472

```

Destroy expectation!

Build the aspiration-tower

Higher and higher.

```

26473

```

Even millions of years

May pass by

Before the desire-world dies.

```

26474

```

Be grateful to God

For each

Pure thought.

```

26475

```

A heart-singer

A newness-happiness-bringer.

```

26476

```

My soul blesses

My aspiration-heart.

Lo and behold!

My heart quickly ascends. ```

26477

```

You can beg your Master

To favour you,

But you can never, never

Force him. ```

26478

```

Self-pity

Extremely dangerous.

```

26479

```

Now is the only time

To join

The God-willingness-team.

```

26480

```

To conquer your lower self

With your higher self,

Aspire sleeplessly

And breathlessly. ```

26481

```

When God is missing,

We live in

Empty life-days.

```

26482

```

God’s highest Satisfaction

Lives in man’s

God-invocation.

```

26483

```

I need only two things:

A God-searching mind

And

A God-crying heart. ```

26484

```

Alas, I have been living

In my mind.

Therefore, my aspiration

Is now a distant memory. ```

26485

```

Even a flicker of disobedience

Destroys a seeker’s joy

Totally.

```

26486

```

God does not believe

In shaking the world.

God believes only

In inspiring and embracing

The world.

```

26487

```

Aspiration

Means

Celestial vision-reality.

```

26488

```

Anything that helps us fly

To our Heaven-Destination

Is our immediate choice.

```

26489

```

My life is claiming

My heart’s world-oneness-dream

As its own, very own.

```

26490

```

We must keep

The torch of spirituality

Always in proper condition.

```

26491

```

Although the mind

Races like the wind,

The silence of the heart

Runs infinitely faster. ```

26492

```

Is it a dream

That every night

God comes to me?

```

26493

```

Is it a reality

That every day

My mind tries to escape

From God’s Embrace? ```

26494

```

The mind lives between

The river of life

And

The ocean of death. ```

26495

```

The highest wisdom-light

Compassion-height.

```

26496

```

My mind

Selects

Itself.

```

26497

```

My heart

Selects

God’s Feet.

```

26498

```

Waste not

Even a fleeting second

In rumour-spreading.

```

26499

```

God has only one Message:

“My child, think of Me more,

Infinitely more.”

```

26500

```

I have only one message for God:

“How is it possible, my Lord,

That You are still

So far away from me?” ```

26501

```

Alas, anything divine

Is undervalued

In this world.

```

26502

```

Like my soul,

I want my life

To be unfettered.

```

26503

```

The real prosperity

Is in the expansion

Of the aspiration-heart.

```

26504

```

Self-examination

Is of paramount importance. ```

26505

```

My heart-existence

Is the vivid expression

Of my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

26506

```

Without my Lord’s Compassion,

I shall never dare to learn

The art of self-mastery.

```

26507

```

Each time

I think a good thought,

I illumine my inner path.

```

26508

```

To be rich

Is to give a smile

With no expectation

Of return. ```

26509

```

I shall always keep

My mind-room

Absolutely empty of doubt.

```

26510

```

God tells me that

My heart-tears

Are everything that I need.

```

26511

```

No matter where I go,

I see ample evidence

Of my Lord’s Forgiveness.

```

26512

```

O my mind,

Move forward

To conquer the pride

Of doubts. ```

26513

```

O my heart,

Dive inward

To see the Face

Of God. ```

26514

```

Our gratitude-heart

Needs no vacation. ```

26515

```

Cheerfulness

Indicates

The nearness of God.

```

26516

```

Fear-invader I am.

Doubt-invader I am.

God’s Love-discoverer

I now shall be. ```

26517

```

I really do not know

How to please God

In this topsy-turvy life.

```

26518

```

Alas, my mind and vital

Are swimming together

In confusion-current.

```

26519

```

Success and pride

March together.

Progress and humility

Grow together. ```

26520

```

A new day

Is the new beginning

Of humanity’s promise

To God. ```

26521

```

Do not believe in impossibility!

Do not give up!

Continue trying and striving.

```

26522

```

Determination

Can challenge impossibility

And offer victory

To the Lord Supreme. ```

26523

```

Entanglement

Is another name

For human nature.

```

26524

```

Enthusiasm and eagerness

Can definitely create

New opportunities.

```

26525

```

Alas, how rarely I see

A blossom of hope

In my heart-garden.

```

26526

```

Not newness

But fulness

Is of paramount importance.

```

26527

```

The song of the cosmos:

Give what you have to God

And become

What God eternally is. ```

26528

```

I speak to God the Father

And God the Mother

While the moon speaks

To the stars. ```

26529

```

When God comes,

My hopes and promises

Flood the sky.

```

26530

```

It is quite common

That people do not

Understand each other,

But all hearts

Can feel one another.

```

26531

```

My Lord, if I have joy,

Then it has all come

From the dust of Your Feet.

```

26532

```

Remember,

Our God-manifestation-song

Is not over.

```

26533

```

Human life means

A bundle of fears

And cheers.

```

26534

```

Impurity in the mind

Is undoubtedly

The worst possible poverty.

```

26535

```

God wants me to look inside

For everything solid,

Tangible and progressive.

```

26536

```

Truth is found

Not around me

But inside me.

```

26537

```

Doubt knows

How to enter into the mind,

But it does not know

How to come out. ```

26538

```

Do not compare!

Spirituality is not comparison.

Spirituality is a oneness-heart-sky.

```

26539

```

Life lives both

In a tiny heart-muscle

And in Infinity’s sky.

```

26540

```

To know the truth

Is to bow

To the truth.

```

26541

```

Obedience and obeisance

Are two totally

Different things.

```

26542

```

A wrong desire

In the mind

Cuts and damages

The heart. ```

26543

```

The mind-master

Is, indeed,

A monster.

```

26544

```

Disobedience-pride

Has

A very short breath.

```

26545

```

Pride weakens

And humility strengthens

Our life.

```

26546

```

Today’s expectation-seed

Tomorrow becomes

Frustration-tree.

```

26547

```

I believe

In both entertainment

And enlightenment.

```

26548

```

Entertainment

Pleases

The human in me.

```

26549

```

Enlightenment

Pleases

The divine in me.

```

26550

```

O seeker, keep your eyes

Always and always

On the ever-transcending Beyond.

```

26551

```

To be yourself

Is to make friends

With God’s Will.

```

26552

```

The inner friendship

Does not need

Any outer word.

```

26553

```

At times victory shows us

How weak we are

In our inner life.

```

26554

```

Only he who listens

Has the right

To speak about God.

```

26555

```

If we do not pray

And meditate regularly,

Then we are bound to face

An army of misfortunes. ```

26556

```

The loneliness of yesterday

Must not torment me

Today.

```

26557

```

Surrender to God’s Will itself

Is the highest reward

In the spiritual life.

```

26558

```

My life-boat plies

Between my newness-life

And

My fulness-heart. ```

26559

```

Do not wrestle

With your problems.

Try to illumine them.

```

26560

```

To succeed,

I must never follow

The old way.

```

26561

```

I am a God-follower,

And not

A man-prisoner.

```

26562

```

I must clear

My mind-jungle

Before I do anything else.

```

26563

```

The vital needs

Anti-depression

Vitamins.

```

26564

```

The mind needs

Anti-frustration

Vitamins.

```

26565

```

The heart needs

Anti-insecurity

Vitamins.

```

26566

```

Happiness

Is self-giving

With no strings attached.

```

26567

```

Every human being

Is invited to take part

In God’s Cosmic Play.

```

26568

```

You can achieve

Whatever you want to,

Provided it is all for God.

```

26569

```

My mind,

There is no more time left for you

To make further complaints.

```

26570

```

To be true to oneself

Is the hardest test

Of life.

```

26571

```

My Lord,

So far You have shown me

Your Compassion-Eye.

Today please show me

Your Forgiveness-Heart.

```

26572

```

May satisfaction

On earth

Begin with me today.

```

26573

```

I am shining today,

Not with my understanding mind

But with my self-giving heart.

```

26574

```

Do not allow your ego-mind

To push your heart

Into a corner.

```

26575

```

Physical violence ends.

Mental violence

Quite often lingers.

```

26576

```

By demanding from God,

We will delay

Our Heavenward journey.

```

26577

```

Our unconditional surrender

To God’s Will

Can easily turn back

The hands of time. ```

26578

```

God sheds tears when He sees

That we do not want

To be near Him.

```

26579

```

Alas,

My life has become something

That is not who I really am

Inside my heart. ```

26580

```

Unlike us,

Our Lord Supreme speaks

Only from heart to heart.

```

26581

```

A life without God

Is a life

Not fully lived.

```

26582

```

My soul always

Looks at me

With motherly concern.

```

26583

```

My heart always

Looks at me

With sisterly affection.

```

26584

```

It seems that patience

Is not born

In the human mind.

```

26585

```

At long last

I have thrown ignorance-night

Out of my mind.

```

26586

```

My aspiration-heart

Knows nothing

Of failure.

```

26587

```

The mind always

Plays the role

Of a fault-finder.

```

26588

```

The heart always

Plays the role

Of a truth-seeker.

```

26589

```

My mind,

Do not forget to look

At your abysmal abyss-life.

```

26590

```

Only one thing I need

From my heart:

To love the world constantly.

```

26591

```

To look for desire-fulfilment

Is unconsciously to invite

Mental punishment.

```

26592

```

I have lost my surrender-key

To God’s Heart.

Out of His infinite Bounty,

He is giving me another one. ```

26593

```

From my personal experience,

The desire-mind

Eventually surrenders

To the aspiration-heart. ```

26594

```

Alas,

My mind has no room

For my heart.

```

26595

```

My heart has always

Ample room

For my mind.

```

26596

```

There is no need

To remember

The empty, useless past.

```

26597

```

A devotion-heart

Is made of

Aspiration-fire.

```

26598

```

God wants my heart

To grow

Along with the world.

```

26599

```

In my heart-dream,

There can be no

Mind-frustration.

```

26600

```

My doubting mind,

I beg of you,

Listen to my heart.

Unlike you,

It does not tell any lies.

```

26601

```

I must not drag down

My Lord’s

Compassion-Eye any more.

```

26602

```

My heart has only one prayer:

My Lord, do teach me

How to love You more,

Infinitely more. ```

26603

```

My life has only one prayer:

My Lord, do teach me

How to serve You more,

Infinitely more. ```

26604

```

We never give God

The needed opportunity

To satisfy us.

```

26605

```

Every day I pray to God

To teach me

One new heart-soaring song.

```

26606

```

Love God first.

Then think of God

And talk about God.

```

26607

```

My surrender-life

Is God’s

Most favourite toy.

```

26608

```

We must never belittle

Others’ faith.

It is a serious crime.

```

26609

```

My heart knows that

God’s Arrival

Is always punctual.

```

26610

```

Negativity-criticism-weeds

Must be uprooted

Every day.

```

26611

```

Be careful!

Ignorance-forces

Throw punches

Right and left

At our aspiration-life.

```

26612

```

A self-giving heart

God’s greatest Joy.

```

26613

```

To see and feel

God’s Presence

In every human being

Is undoubtedly

The supreme achievement

In a human life. ```

26614

```

My gratitude-heart

Does not want to hear

Anything wrong

About the world. ```

26615

```

To talk about anything

Other than God

Is worse than useless.

```

26616

```

There shall come a time

When the suspicion-mind

And the aggression-vital

Will both surrender

To the aspiration-heart.

```

26617

```

A sincerity-heart knows

It is not a difficult task

To grasp God’s Will.

```

26618

```

My heart is more than ready

To wait indefinitely

To touch God’s Feet.

```

26619

```

My Master dwells

Inside the breath

Of my surrender-life.

```

26620

```

Every day

I must increase my faith

In my Master

So that I can climb up

Higher and higher

In my God-quest. ```

26621

```

Alertness

Is of supreme importance

In the spiritual life.

```

26622

```

My Master tells me that

He is definitely going to help me

To become his heartbeat.

```

26623

```

The inner life

Knows

No boundary-limits.

```

26624

```

God tells us that

We need both optimism

And dynamism

At the same time. ```

26625

```

A spiritual person

Has to be always natural

In his inner life

And

In his outer life.

```

26626

```

Love and surrender

Are essentially and eternally

Only one thing.

```

26627

```

Love

Is the beauty

Of surrender.

```

26628

```

Surrender

Is the fragrance

Of love.

```

26629

```

The doubting mind

Tries very hard

To give my purity-heart

A very short life. ```

26630

```

Every day

The mind eagerly visits

The desire-festival.

```

26631

```

Alas,

My God-realisation-shore

Is still out of sight.

```

26632

```

When I enter into the mind,

The wrongdoings of the mind

Are appalling.

```

26633

```

When I enter into the heart,

The right longing of the heart

Is exceptionally inspiring

And encouraging. ```

26634

```

The mind and its friend —

Ever-deepening night —

Are always together.

```

26635

```

The heart and its friend —

Ever-increasing delight —

Are always together.

```

26636

```

The mind’s prayer:

“Give me everything

That You have, O God.”

```

26637

```

The heart’s prayer:

“O God,

I need nothing from You

As long as You remain

In my aspiring heart

And I remain

In Your forgiving Heart.”

```

26638

```

God is extremely sad

At my mind’s continuous

Rest-request.

```

26639

```

My pride-balloon

Is always found

In the maya of worthlessness.

```

26640

```

May my body, vital, mind and heart

Join my soul

In its sleepless God-manifestation-quest.

```

26641

```

God cheerfully carries us

Through the trials of life

Only when He sees that

Our love, devotion and surrender

Are genuine.

```

26642

```

When my mind-life

Is completely broken,

God and I see the opening

Of my new heart-life. ```

26643

```

Divine love alone

Knows

What unconditional surrender is.

```

26644

```

Many can see

The Truth

But few, very few,

Can be the Truth. ```

26645

```

God shows me His Pride

When I smile

Even after I have lost.

```

26646

```

I pray to God

For my intensity-mind

And immensity-heart

To remain close together. ```

26647

```

Each good thought

Safeguards

Our sacred heart-home.

```

26648

```

Not skin-deep

But God-deep

Have to be

Our daily prayers

And meditations.

```

26649

```

I know full well that

God is only

One heart-phone call away.

```

26650

```

When my Lord blows

The obedience-whistle,

Many soulfully come,

Many ruthlessly disdain. ```

26651

```

Nobody has to wait

For long

In God’s Waiting Room.

```

26652

```

God is eager to share

His Oneness-Secrets

With all.

```

26653

```

From the depths

Of my devotion-heart

I must pray

To my Lord Supreme. ```

26654

```

I am totally lost between

My greedy mind

And my needy heart.

```

26655

```

Be not afraid of problems!

Accept them, challenge them

And conquer them.

```

26656

```

We all must swim across

The ignorance-sea

To arrive at our destined Goal.

```

26657

```

The closer you come

To the Lord Supreme,

The sweeter becomes your heart.

```

26658

```

My aspiration-cry

Is the living affirmation

Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

26659

```

My soul has finally convinced

My mind

To surrender to God’s Way.

```

26660

```

Alas, I do not know

When and how

I can arrive at my Lord’s

Compassion-Heart-Goal. ```

26661

```

God’s Forgiveness-Tower

Is infinitely taller

Than we can ever imagine.

```

26662

```

When you say

“Good morning!” to God,

Say it with all your heart’s

Enthusiasm. ```

26663

```

We must recognise

The boundless love

That our souls have

For our Lord Supreme. ```

26664

```

Each good thought

Is a divine guest

From the higher worlds.

```

26665

```

A gratitude-heart

Is the most important achievement

In a God-seeker’s life.

```

26666

```

I shall never look at

My yesterday’s face.

This is my solemn promise

To myself. ```

26667

```

All creations

Of the restless mind

Are fragile.

```

26668

```

The curiosity-roar

Extremely loud.

```

26669

```

A brief flash

Of inner happiness

Can awaken us fully

To our Lord Supreme. ```

26670

```

I am praying and praying

To gain back

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart. ```

26671

```

Each moment I must take

A big purity-breath

To manifest God’s Will

Here on earth. ```

26672

```

Our life-tree

Has to grow

In our faith-soil.

```

26673

```

May my gratitude-heart-boat

Every day

Sail on my life’s

Surrender-river. ```

26674

```

God’s Heart-Home

Is our only

Real home.

```

26675

```

There is only one song

That can silence the mind,

And that song is my life’s

God-surrender-song. ```

26676

```

May God save me

Every day

From my prison-mind.

```

26677

```

The soul obeys

Only God’s Laws. ```

26678

```

Only stark fools

Can enjoy

Flattery-feast.

```

26679

```

Gratitude

Is by far the best song

For every heart.

```

26680

```

Finally even my mind

Is embarking

On truth-search.

```

26681

```

We need

A very deep-rooted determination

To succeed

In our spiritual life. ```

26682

```

We must keep

Our Lord Supreme

At the forefront

At every moment. ```

26683

```

There is always an opinion-collision

Between my aspiring heart

And my doubting mind.

```

26684

```

Our inner faith

Is the constant reminder

Of our Lord’s Presence

In the depths of our heart. ```

26685

```

My heart basks every day

In my Lord’s

Sunny Sweetness-Smile.

```

26686

```

Every seeker must feel

That it is his obligation

To liberate humankind.

```

26687

```

Patience

Is the cure

For all our failings.

```

26688

```

We must treasure

The rare privilege

Of our spiritual life.

```

26689

```

There is no need to travel anywhere

To increase our love of God.

We can increase our love of God

Right here where we are. ```

26690

```

We must remain

Always busy

With our higher life.

```

26691

```

O seeker, do not take

Anything for granted.

You must work hard

If you want to achieve

Something momentous

In your life. ```

26692

```

The constant fear of God

Is always wrong,

Either in the outer life

Or in the inner life. ```

26693

```

My Master’s smile

Radiates all the time

Deep inside my heart.

```

26694

```

Everything divine within us

Must come to the fore

To express God’s Love

Everywhere. ```

26695

```

O aspiring heart-bird,

Fly high, higher, highest

If you want to see

God’s Heart-Home. ```

26696

```

My heart of gratitude

Takes me by the hand

To my Lord Supreme.

```

26697

```

When my Master smiles at me,

It is the most precious moment

In my life.

```

26698

```

Alas,

My Lord’s outer Presence

Frightens me.

```

26699

```

To my greatest joy,

My Lord’s inner Presence

Cradles my entire being.

```

26700

```

No negativity-mind

Can open

My heart’s hope-door.

```

26701

```

Do not wait

For an aspiration-heart.

Just cry and cry.

Aspiration will run into your heart. ```

26702

```

Everybody has a unique task

To perform.

Some succeed,

While others do not. ```

26703

```

When the Inner Pilot

Asks you to do something,

Never delay,

Even for a fleeting moment. ```

26704

```

Never give up!

If you give up your Goal,

Then God-realisation

Will remain a far cry. ```

26705

```

Once we embark

On the spiritual journey,

There is no such thing

As a time limit.

We will arrive at our Goal

At God’s choice Hour. ```

26706

```

If your heart is made of faith,

Then your life is bound to be

A life of action.

```

26707

```

Anything divine you want to do,

Rest assured,

Your Inner Pilot

Long ago approved of it. ```

26708

```

Love originality

All the time.

Dislike imitation

All the time. ```

26709

```

Originality is freedom.

Imitation is bondage

From the beginning

To the end. ```

26710

```

Do not deny yourself.

You will without fail

Find a way

To reach the Goal. ```

26711

```

Do not allow disbelief

To grow

Under your dreams.

```

26712

```

If you believe

That God loves you,

Then you must also believe

That He definitely has

A very special Plan for you.

```

26713

```

Without humility,

No prayer

Can ever succeed.

```

26714

```

Decision

Our heart’s real friend.

```

26715

```

Indecision is an enemy

Not only of our heart

But also of our

Heaven-climbing life. ```

26716

```

Others may fail,

But you are not others.

You belong to yourself only.

```

26717

```

All opportunities

Are within

Our easy reach.

```

26718

```

Knowledge

Pond-deep.

```

26719

```

Wisdom

Ocean-deep.

```

26720

```

We must get happiness

By helping others first.

Only then will our happiness

Have true meaning. ```

26721

```

Like my soul,

I too do not have

Any limits.

```

26722

```

Take each of your failures

As a springboard,

And nothing else.

```

26723

```

If you are ready

To risk failure,

Success itself

Will run towards you. ```

26724

```

Do not believe in excuses

If you really want

Your outer life to be all success

And

Your inner life to be all progress.

```

26725

```

This world

Does not need people

Of merely good intentions.

```

26726

```

This world

Needs people

Of immediate actions.

```

26727

```

Silence punishes severely

Not only the outer critic

But the inner critic as well.

```

26728

```

Be ready!

When?

In the immediacy

Of this very moment. ```

26729

```

If you anticipate misfortune,

Misfortune will knock

At your life-door

Sooner than at once. ```

26730

```

To have determination

Is to be halfway

To the goal.

```

26731

```

Do what you must,

And not only

What you can.

```

26732

```

Surround yourself

With those who need you,

And not

With those who want you. ```

26733

```

Day in and day out

God has only one Command:

“Arise, My child, arise!”

```

26734

```

There is no such thing

As the perfect moment.

Every moment is perfect

In a very special way. ```

26735

```

No human being

Is bereft

Of divine esteem.

```

26736

```

Our God-surrender-life

Is by far the best swimmer

To cross ignorance-sea.

```

26737

```

Our God-devotion-heart

Can see

Far into the future.

```

26738

```

Those who care only

For book-knowledge

Are completely lost

In the mists of the mind. ```

26739

```

Purity blossoms

From the very depths

Of God-devoted thoughts.

```

26740

```

The unaspiring mind

Quite strangely loves to live

In uncertainty-quagmire.

```

26741

```

Like my soul,

I must develop universal sympathy

If I really want happiness

From my life. ```

26742

```

Words

Do not really embody

Solace.

```

26743

```

Solace

Is in

Silence-prayers.

```

26744

```

Scepticism and cynicism

Were not allowed to take birth

With the heart.

```

26745

```

Anyone that comes to God

And takes shelter

Will have the joy of unhorizoned peace

And bliss. ```

26746

```

My Lord,

I beg of You to grant me

Two favours:

Bend me to Your Feet;

Bind me to Your Heart.

```

26747

```

The doubting mind

Has problems.

The aspiring heart

Has the cure. ```

26748

```

Giving your best

Has its own satisfaction. ```

26749

```

True satisfaction

Can never be found

In desire-fulfilment.

```

26750

```

As the road is endless,

Even so, our aspiration-heart

Has to be tireless.

```

26751

```

What God wants

To hear most from me

Is my surrender-heart-song.

```

26752

```

If we live in the mind,

Then our hope

Is goalless.

```

26753

```

If we live in the vital,

Then our promise

Is pointless.

```

26754

```

A God-gratitude-heart

Knows

No exhaustion.

```

26755

```

I am happy

Only when my heart and I

Walk behind our Lord

With obedience-steps. ```

26756

```

In pleasing God,

Gratitude and surrender

Have no parallel.

```

26757

```

The faith-mountain

Is not only inspiring

But also fascinating.

```

26758

```

Time and again

I have asked my mind

Not to talk to God,

But to remain seated at His Feet. ```

26759

```

Each God-thought

Embodies

God-Concern.

```

26760

```

God feels miserable

When I think

That He is only in Heaven

And not on earth. ```

26761

```

The heart

Does not need

Expression.

```

26762

```

The heart

Needs only

Expansion.

```

26763

```

Expansion

Is the best form

Of expression.

```

26764

```

If you demolish

Your pride,

Then God will abolish

Your self-doubt. ```

26765

```

Purity is the constant remembrance

Of God’s Presence

In the depths of our heart.

```

26766

```

I am so happy

That my mind has now become

The beginner

Of a oneness-life. ```

26767

```

There is a God-song

For every

Aspiring heart.

```

26768

```

There is a man-story

For every

Unaspiring mind.

```

26769

```

My heart feeds only

On my God-faith. ```

26770

```

There is only one home,

And that home

Is our love of God.

```

26771

```

A deep purity-breath

Can destroy

Thousands of doubt-insects.

```

26772

```

Silence descends

When

Meditation ascends.

```

26773

```

The mind

Loves to blind God

With anger.

```

26774

```

The heart

Loves to bind God

With love.

```

26775

```

He who does not have

Faith in himself

Is bound to be

Helpless and hopeless. ```

26776

```

The vital enjoys

Exasperation. ```

26777

```

The mind enjoys

Frustration. ```

26778

```

The heart enjoys

God-union. ```

26779

```

My ignorance

Has now a new name:

God-surrender.

```

26780

```

Reality speaks.

Only silence

Can hear.

```

26781

```

Divinity speaks.

Only heart-tears

Can hear.

```

26782

```

God speaks.

Only soul-smiles

Can hear.

```

26783

```

Each calamity

Strengthens the faith

Of a true God-seeker.

```

26784

```

The mind-walls

Are bound to dissolve

In the sea of the heart’s light.

```

26785

```

Like passing clouds,

Passing thoughts

Are also powerless

And useless. ```

26786

```

At long last

My wandering mind

Has found its heart-home:

God-surrender. ```

26787

```

Pray only for God’s sake.

Lo, a whole new world

Is welcoming you.

```

26788

```

I love not

My Lord’s

Mild Request.

```

26789

```

I love only

My Lord’s

Command-Voice.

```

26790

```

To touch the Heart of God,

We must sit at the Feet of God

First.

```

26791

```

My heart needs only

Village-life-simplicity

To make the fastest progress.

```

26792

```

My volcano-aspiration

Terrifies

My mind-ignorance-oppression.

```

26793

```

My heart has been

Begging and begging my mind

To pray and meditate.

Alas, now it is exhausted

To its very last breath.

```

26794

```

Temptation

Challenges aspiration. ```

26795

```

Aspiration

Accepts the challenge

Of temptation.

```

26796

```

God takes the side

Of aspiration.

He makes aspiration win.

```

26797

```

The human in us

Is afraid of God’s Face

But not of His Heart.

```

26798

```

When we love God’s

“Yes” and “No” equally,

God runs towards us

To crown us. ```

26799

```

If we give God

One hundred per cent,

God will give us

His Life-Beauty

And Heart-Fragrance.

```

26800

```

Every morning

God wants each seeker

To hoist

A fulness-truth-flag. ```

26801

```

My Lord,

I am longing for the Beauty

Of Your Compassion-Eye.

“My child,

I am longing for the fragrance

Of your aspiration-heart.” ```

26802

```

Nobody can ever be

Outside the boundary

Of God’s Compassion.

```

26803

```

Work hard.

God the Smiler

Is watching you.

```

26804

```

God does not accept me

When I bring only my heart.

He accepts me

Only when I bring Him

My body, vital, mind and heart

Together. ```

26805

```

The first time,

God blesses you

With ample opportunity.

The next time,

You have to earn

The opportunity. ```

26806

```

Stop crawling.

Get up!

Walk, march, run, sprint!

God is calling. ```

26807

```

I accept no limits

Because I come from

The limitless One.

```

26808

```

My heart-joy

Deeply enjoys

All my soul-songs.

```

26809

```

Work is prayer

Where there is

No expectation.

```

26810

```

I must please my Lord Supreme

Slowly, steadily and unerringly

At every moment.

```

26811

```

Aspiration springs from

Inspiration-enthusiasm. ```

26812

```

Forget all about tomorrow.

God blesses us day by day

With His boundless Affection

And Compassion. ```

26813

```

An indulgence-moment

Invites

Crisis after crisis.

```

26814

```

Every day

I pray to my Lord Supreme

To strengthen and lengthen

My prayer-meditation-life. ```

26815

```

When the doubting mind attacks,

Even a sincere seeker loses faith

Either in God or in himself,

Or in both. ```

26816

```

My heart becomes a real child

The moment I receive a Smile

From my Lord Supreme.

```

26817

```

Life

Is nothing but

A river of hope.

```

26818

```

I am no longer

A fault-finding-enjoyment-seeker. ```

26819

```

All mind-doubt-attacks

Must be challenged

And conquered.

```

26820

```

If you want

Outer satisfaction,

Then you must turn inward first.

```

26821

```

God secretly tutors my heart

In how to win

The Godward race.

```

26822

```

We can and we must exclude

Name and fame

From our aspiration-heart-list.

```

26823

```

In the course of time,

My mind, like my heart,

Will run towards

God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

26824

```

God’s mind-examination-hall

Is larger than the largest. ```

26825

```

God’s heart-examination-room

Is tinier than the tiniest. ```

26826

```

Aspiration-flight

Is a real victory

For human hope.

```

26827

```

I can clearly see

That my ignorance-arrogance-mind

Cannot reign forever.

```

26828

```

The omnipresence

Of ignorance-night

Shall be replaced before long

With wisdom-light

And satisfaction-delight.

```

26829

```

My Lord tells me

That He is no longer interested

In my every day

Excuse-crying mind. ```

26830

```

My aspiration-heart has to be

A non-stop race

To the finish line.

```

26831

```

Poor God cannot sleep!

Our heart-tears keep Him awake

All the time.

```

26832

```

Only time

Has the capacity

To illumine

Our mind-confusion. ```

26833

```

We must see things

As they are,

And not as we want to see them.

```

26834

```

My cheerfulness-heart

Whistles

Even in the mind’s darkness-night.

```

26835

```

Ignorance-night-road

Is infinitely more frightening

Than we can ever imagine.

```

26836

```

My soul tells my heart

That it must square its accounts

With God —

The sooner the better! ```

26837

```

I have decided not to have

My mind’s insecurity-chapter

In my life-book.

```

26838

```

Tolerance is, indeed,

A supremely superior quality

In our life.

```

26839

```

Our desire-life

Keeps our soul

Always on the alert.

```

26840

```

Although the mind is always negative,

The heart is always consumed

By its concern for the mind.

```

26841

```

The moment I woke up this morning,

I saw my Lord’s shining Eye

Upon my face.

```

26842

```

May my Lord’s Compassion

Sparkle

Through every second

Of my life. ```

26843

```

He who allows his yesterday

To take over his today

Is, indeed, a stark fool.

```

26844

```

Do not hesitate!

If you hesitate,

You are bound to fade away. ```

26845

```

As soon as I start praying,

My Supreme Lord comes to me

Out of the blue.

```

26846

```

O my mind,

I shall not allow you

To enter into

The world-complaint-abyss. ```

26847

```

After a long time

My heart-tears see God’s

Charming and smiling Face.

```

26848

```

Why do we blame God

For every little

Unhappy moment?

```

26849

```

We must rise far above

The differences

Of the world.

```

26850

```

My soul is pleading

With my mind

To build a peace-temple.

```

26851

```

God will give you

His mobile phone number

If you are sincerely satisfied

With your present life. ```

26852

```

O mind, do not think

That I do not know

What you have done to me.

You have turned my life

Into desire-slavery.

```

26853

```

One magic purity-touch

Is enough to change our life

Altogether.

```

26854

```

I read only the books

That are on God’s

Bestseller list.

```

26855

```

Patience:

This is actually what my mind needs.

Reliance:

This is actually what my heart needs.

Surrender:

This is actually what my life needs. ```

26856

```

A perfection-life

Needs

Regular and punctual practice.

```

26857

```

May each thought of mine

Live on the banks

Of aspiration-heart-river.

```

26858

```

Where aspiration is concerned,

There can be no such thing

As too much.

```

26859

```

The newness of life

And

The sweetness of the heart

Are my two real friends. ```

26860

```

Is there anything

That can make me truly happy

Other than making my Lord happy?

```

26861

```

God always wants us to win

The ignorance-fight

Even before it starts.

```

26862

```

God does not actually punish us.

He only knows how to show

His Concern for us

All the time. ```

26863

```

When the mind does not speak,

Its unspoken words

Are extremely powerful.

```

26864

```

If there is inner purity,

Then the outer beauty

Will be unparalleled.

```

26865

```

God does not allow me

To come near Him

Unless I smilingly

And self-givingly

Dare to shake hands

With Him. ```

26866

```

God does not allow me

To speak to Him

Unless I speak

Lovingly, soulfully

And self-givingly.

```

26867

```

No darkness

Can ever prevent us

From seeing the stars

In our heart-sky. ```

26868

```

There are millions of ways

To tell God:

“My Lord, I love Your Heart.

I need Your Breath.” ```

26869

```

Who can understand the Goal?

Nobody.

Who can realise and become the Goal?

Everybody. ```

26870

```

God has His constant Compassion-Eye

Upon you.

You cannot fail Him.

```

26871

```

God never wants me

To question Him

Unless real necessity demands.

```

26872

```

A desireless life

The richest life.

```

26873

```

My Lord,

What more can I give You?

“My child,

You have not given Me anything

To start with.

How can you say ‘more’?” ```

26874

```

God is proud of us

Precisely because we are so greedy

For His Compassion-Smile.

```

26875

```

Because of my fully blossomed

Heart-lotus,

I enjoy the Beauty

Of God’s Life

And the Fragrance

Of God’s Heart

Here, there and everywhere.

```

26876

```

My Lord’s fleeting Smile

Has saved

My sinking heart.

```

26877

```

God gives great, greater,

Greatest importance

To each and every dictate

Of our spiritual life. ```

26878

```

Love and argument

Are like

The North and South Poles.

```

26879

```

Only a God-surrendered life

Can successfully deal with tomorrow

And tomorrow’s problems.

```

26880

```

The light of the soul

Can illumine

Even the darkest night

Of the vital. ```

26881

```

The greatest teacher knows

And feels

That he is an eternal student

In God’s primary school. ```

26882

```

To win the divine race,

We must look ignorance-night

In the face.

```

26883

```

I take my Lord’s scoldings

As nectar-delight,

And never as bitter poison.

```

26884

```

It is extremely difficult

For any human being

To please God

All the time. ```

26885

```

My Lord,

I am sorry to tell You

That when I worship You,

My heart does not cry,

Does not weep,

Does not bleed. ```

26886

```

The mind chases happiness.

The heart creates happiness.

The soul is happiness

And it spreads happiness

All-where.

```

26887

```

When I do not please God

In His own Way,

I sincerely feel that I am all alone

In this vast universe. ```

26888

```

Truth, love and joy

Are such rarities

In the human life.

```

26889

```

My Lord,

Am I doing the right thing

By praying to You

For the outer strength of an elephant

And the inner power of a lion?

“My child,

You are absolutely doing

The right thing.” ```

26890

```

Once you offer —

Lovingly, sleeplessly

And self-givingly —

Your aspiration-heart-tears

To God,

There can be no turning back. ```

26891

```

Be sure that your devotion

Is not out of fear

But out of pure love.

```

26892

```

If our aspiration is not constant,

Then we may lose the beauty

Of our heart-shrine.

```

26893

```

Do not force the heart-door open.

Just knock as mildly

And as soulfully as possible.

Lo and behold, your heart-door

Is now wide open.

```

26894

```

May my Lord come in

And not allow any thought

To enter into my mind unchecked.

```

26895

```

You may argue to your heart’s content.

God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Will not surrender to you. ```

26896

```

When time plays with our lives,

God just watches.

When our hearts play with time,

God smiles and smiles

And dances and dances.

```

26897

```

All my heart-dreams

I have anchored

At the reality-shore.

```

26898

```

The entire world has forgotten

God’s Grace,

But it still remembers well

God’s Face. ```

26899

```

To the desiring mind,

The pressures of the world

Are too much.

```

26900

```

To the God-loving heart,

The pressures of the world

Are quite insignificant.

```

26901

```

O my mind, watch out!

You are sinking into

A complete abyss.

```

26902

```

The mind expects God

To do everything for it

Without being asked.

```

26903

```

As soon as I came out

Of ignorance-night,

I saw hope for the first time.

```

26904

```

Self-mastery

Is an accomplishment

Unparalleled.

```

26905

```

We should be grateful

For what we have

And for what we have not.

Everything might change

For the worse.

```

26906

```

The after-effect

Of indulgence

Is a very painful experience.

```

26907

```

If you do not have love

For your fellow human beings,

God will considerably reduce

His Love for you. ```

26908

```

Love, devotion, surrender —

They have to be equal

In every aspect of my life.

```

26909

```

I must

Keep up with

My aspiration-heart.

```

26910

```

Doubting is a foolish thing

To do.

Aspiring is a good thing

To become. ```

26911

```

Challenge negative forces

To close combat.

You are bound to win.

```

26912

```

The Master depends on

The disciple’s

Aspiration-cries.

```

26913

```

The disciple depends on

The Master’s

Satisfaction-smiles.

```

26914

```

O my mind,

Whether your smile

Is sincere or not,

God still loves you. ```

26915

```

Alas,

We are all unaware

Of our God-heritage.

```

26916

```

You cannot succeed in life

If your mind has

A patience-deficiency.

```

26917

```

My soul and my heart

Study at God’s

Very special School of Delight.

```

26918

```

We cannot properly search

For the ultimate Truth

Without God-devotion.

```

26919

```

When you are insincere,

You tremble at the very thought

Of meeting

With your Inner Pilot. ```

26920

```

Unconditional surrender

Has to be my only name

If I want to become

The most treasured child

Of my Master.

```

26921

```

I must not waste my time

On outer problems.

My Inner Pilot is waiting for me.

```

26922

```

I must cry

Day in and day out

For my Lord’s Grace.

```

26923

```

Your efforts are half-hearted.

How can you conquer

Your self-indulgence?

```

26924

```

My aspiration-heart

Is painfully aware

Of its shortcomings.

```

26925

```

When we lose our attention,

Even for a moment,

It is impossible to succeed.

```

26926

```

Like this time, my Master,

I wish to come into

Your spiritual family

In my next incarnation. ```

26927

```

May my love of God

Be entirely free

Of insecurity and jealousy.

```

26928

```

Every day

I recharge my eyes

With my heart’s delight.

```

26929

```

I never like God’s Requests,

But I love, admire and adore

God’s Commands.

```

26930

```

He who loves

God the Creator

Must also love

God the Creation. ```

26931

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Love-Elevator

Has elevated my entire life

Breathlessly. ```

26932

```

When I aspire every day,

God extends a new possibility

To my life.

```

26933

```

We must not allow

Anything to stop

Our gratitude-heart-river-flow.

```

26934

```

Love not only wants

To see the truth,

But also wants

To become the truth. ```

26935

```

May our inner love of God

Quickly open our outer eyes

To bask in the sunshine

Of our Master’s smile. ```

26936

```

Alas, I do not know

How my life

Is so badly burdened

By weaknesses. ```

26937

```

Ignorance-night wants me

Always to rest

With no motion involved.

```

26938

```

Desire-dreams

Can hurt us

Very deeply.

```

26939

```

God wants me to count

All the bad things

That I have given up

To make God exceptionally happy. ```

26940

```

God has reserved my seat

Right beside

His Compassion-Feet.

```

26941

```

Without having

The meditation-key,

Nobody can open

Any ignorance-shut door. ```

26942

```

When I come to realise

That nothing depends

On my will,

But everything depends

On God’s Will,

Then my life-boat

Plies faster than the fastest.

```

26943

```

My soul is praying to God

So that my life does not

Have to get lost

In ignorance-corridors. ```

26944

```

My aspiration-plane

Every morning

God very carefully checks.

```

26945

```

My dedication-train

Every morning

God very carefully checks.

```

26946

```

My Lord,

May I place at Your Feet

My heart’s lotus blossoms?

```

26947

```

Each life-plant

Has many hopes

And many dreams.

```

26948

```

We are mistaken.

God-duties are not heavy.

They are extremely light.

```

26949

```

Humanity

Means

A tearful heart.

```

26950

```

Humanity

Means

A sorrowful life.

```

26951

```

Humanity

Means

A Godful hope.

```

26952

```

There can be no success,

No progress,

For a complacent life.

```

26953

```

When we pray and meditate

Soulfully,

God does not sit

On His Justice-Throne.

He sits only

On His Compassion-Throne

To show us

His abundant Joy and Pride. ```

26954

```

Silence is at once

Mind-illumining

And

Heart-fulfilling. ```

26955

```

My mind,

Never be in the company

Of desire-intruder.

```

26956

```

Our impatience can be

Transformed into poise

If we learn the art

Of constant surrender

To God’s Will.

```

26957

```

At long last

I am enjoying

A very prolonged vacation

From my self-doubt. ```

26958

```

God has tremendous Concern

For my mind,

A novice in spirituality.

```

26959

```

A doubting mind

Suffers from

Chronic dissatisfaction.

```

26960

```

At every moment

A special emphasis

On willingness and eagerness

Is of paramount importance. ```

26961

```

A truly God-loving heart

Does not find it difficult

To keep pace with God’s Will.

```

26962

```

The long dispute between

My vital and my mind

Weakens me

Far beyond my imagination. ```

26963

```

We have difficulties.

God has Compassion.

When He uses

His Compassion-Power,

Our difficulties

Pale into insignificance. ```

26964

```

God dislikes

Rumour

Vehemently.

```

26965

```

God likes

Humour

Immensely.

```

26966

```

Every day the gap between

What I can do

And what I shall do

Is narrowing. ```

26967

```

Happiness

Is the birthright

Of every human heart.

```

26968

```

The God-surrender-school

Does not charge any fee.

It is all free.

```

26969

```

Alas, we do not care

For the safest way

That God shows us

To arrive

At His Heart-Home.

```

26970

```

Ambition

Unconsciously

Invokes troubles.

```

26971

```

Aspiration

Is by far the best

Trouble-shooter.

```

26972

```

O my Lord,

Do give me the capacity

Once and for all

To tear down

My world-dissatisfaction-tent.

```

26973

```

It seems that

Jealousy-hours

Are indefinitely long.

```

26974

```

No human being

Can ever successfully count

God’s Compassion-Tears.

```

26975

```

At long last today I see that

My God-obedience-mind

Is fully awake.

```

26976

```

My mind deliberately

Starts limping

When it goes to see God.

```

26977

```

My heart immediately

Starts running

Fast, faster, fastest

When it goes to see God. ```

26978

```

A spiritual seeker

Does not add anything

To world-ignorance-stories.

```

26979

```

A spiritual seeker

Only adds

To world-satisfaction-smiles.

```

26980

```

The mind gets

An immediate thrill

When it sees dark clouds.

```

26981

```

The heart gets

An immediate thrill

When it sees a cloud-free sky.

```

26982

```

God runs away

The moment I try to offer Him

My excuse list.

```

26983

```

How I wish

I could have a mind

That knows no fear or doubt!

```

26984

```

Love can devour

Any insult

Thrust upon it.

```

26985

```

No difference between

God’s Compassion-Eye

And

His Justice-Hand. ```

26986

```

Whenever God comes to me,

He comes to me through

My life’s humility-doors.

```

26987

```

God came to invite me

To His Heart-Home.

Alas, my mind and I

Were out of town. ```

26988

```

Our lives

Came into the world

To grow divinely.

```

26989

```

Our hearts

Came into the world

To glow eternally.

```

26990

```

My aspiration-heart

Sleeplessly longs

Only for one thing:

The dust of God’s Feet. ```

26991

```

When the mind

Starts remembering God,

This world of ours

Will have a new face. ```

26992

```

My mind-room

Is always empty.

Nobody comes to visit.

```

26993

```

My heart-room is always full.

The supreme gods and goddesses

Visit my heart-room

On a daily basis. ```

26994

```

Joy is nowhere else

Save and except

In my devotion-heart.

```

26995

```

Each soulful meditation

A God-fulfilling opportunity.

```

26996

```

My indifference-mind

Is empty of

God-gratitude-flowers.

```

26997

```

I just heard a rumour

That God is extremely annoyed

At the world-stupidity.

```

26998

```

Enjoy the beauty

Of your heart now.

You may not get another chance.

```

26999

```

God is eager to grant me a boon.

Alas, both my mind and my vital

Are preventing Him.

```

27000

```

My God-surrender-will

Is picking up speed

Very rapidly.
