Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 3

2001

```

Now that I have entered

Into the kingdom of ecstasy,

My God-manifestation-life

Is my topmost priority. ```

2002

```

Upward I fly

To see my Lord’s Feet.

Inward I dive

To become my Lord’s Heart. ```

2003

```

You will have a complete

And satisfactory answer

To your life’s questions

If you every day open your heart-book

And read the love-page.

```

2004

```

God tells me that

My mind’s love-letters

Are sweet,

My heart’s devotion-letters

Are sweeter

And my life’s surrender-letters

Are sweetest.

He also tells me that

Every day

He expects at least one letter

From me.

```

2005

```

Finally I have become

An ever-climbing aspiration-heart.

Therefore,

God has blessingfully made me

A choice instrument of His Vision-Eye.

```

2006

```

If only one man

Can satisfy God unconditionally,

Then he expedites humanity’s evolution.

```

2007

```

Because of my heart’s gratitude-tears,

My life is ever so close

To my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

2008

```

Just by imagining

That my every breath

Is a beautiful flower,

I enjoy tremendous satisfaction-delight. ```

2009

```

My life’s each forward step

Is a special Blessing

From my Lord Supreme.

```

2010

```

When you have

A sincerity-purity-flooded

Devotion-heart,

God will beckon you to join Him

In His Heart-Garden.

```

2011

```

Prayerfully and soulfully

My service-trees

Feed my Lord Supreme.

```

2012

```

The life

Of an unconditionally surrendered seeker

Happily and unreservedly enjoys

Mountain-zenith-joy. ```

2013

```

The doubting mind

Has to be totally obliterated

If you want to make satisfactory progress

In your spiritual life. ```

2014

```

May my life grow into

My Lord’s

Compassion-Manifestation-Breath.

```

2015.

```

Be wise!

If you cannot illumine

Your past misdeeds,

Then completely forget them,

For they are worse than useless.

```

2016

```

At every moment

My spiritual life depends on

My Lord’s

Compassion-Miracle-Smile. ```

2017

```

My mind desires

Thunderous success-applause.

My heart desires

A running river of progress. ```

2018

```

O my heart’s ever-blossoming faith,

You are my life’s

Pole-star.

```

2019

```

I never knew

That insecurity-thorns

Are so destructive.

```

2020

```

By praying to God,

I deliberately avoid drinking

My mind’s doubt-poison.

```

2021

```

By meditating on God,

I soulfully drink deep

My heart’s faith-nectar.

```

2022

```

Before I wanted sound

To capture my life.

Now I need silence

To embrace my heart. ```

2023

```

God wanted us to obey

Our higher Self.

But, alas, we are doing

Just the opposite!

We are obeying the commands

Of our lower self. ```

2024

```

My mind and I are determined

Not to be vulnerable anymore

To jealousy-invasion.

```

2025

```

God has already given us

A free access to His Heart-Garden.

We do not know why, but alas,

We hesitate and delay entering. ```

2026

```

There was a time

When the sadness of failure

Tortured my life.

But alas,

Now the gladness of success

Is also torturing me

In a peculiar way.

```

2027

```

An act of God-defiance

Has completely uprooted

His God-service-tree.

```

2028

```

You will not be able to enjoy

God’s infinite Affection and Love

If your life remains

A deep-rooted insecurity. ```

2029

```

Purity

Is a perfect stranger

To a jungle-mind.

```

2030

```

God wants from my body, vital,

Mind and heart

An unselfish love

And not a slavish devotion. ```

2031

```

The divine in me

Is simply shocked

To see my cheerful and complete

Identification

With my pseudo-self.

```

2032

```

O seeker,

How can you be such a fool

To cater to the proud demands

Of your vital? ```

2033

```

A self-imprisoned mind

Knows

No hope.

```

2034

```

A breath that knows

No love of God

Is not a real breath.

```

2035

```

My mind’s marching thoughts

I shall turn into

A God-loving will.

```

2036

```

O my God-loving heart,

You are infinitely stronger

Than my God-doubting mind.

I want you to conquer my mind

Once and for all,

Here and now. ```

2037

```

No human heart

Can forever escape

Ruthless anxiety-tortures.

```

2038

```

Even his outer life

Has become one with

His inner life’s

Deeply rooted God-faith. ```

2039

```

God looks for me

Only inside

My gratitude-heart-tears.

```

2040

```

My heart uses

Devoted whispers

To speak to God.

```

2041

```

My mind uses

Proud drumbeats

To speak to God.

```

2042

```

In the spiritual life,

A wild ambition-destination

Is lifeless and useless.

```

2043

```

The God-serving heroes

Will definitely be honoured

By God Himself

At His choice Hour. ```

2044

```

God has made

A new invitation list.

He has added my life

Of unconditional surrender. ```

2045

```

O universal peace-dreamers,

My mind wants to know

If you are real.

If so, where are you?

How are you?

```

2046

```

To the aspiring heart only,

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is always visible.

```

2047

```

Aspiring souls

Always hunger for God’s Love —

More, ever more.

```

2048

```

A God-dreaming heart

Embodies

A God-living life.

```

2049

```

Alas, most human beings

Either consciously or unconsciously

Forget

Their gratitude-prayers. ```

2050

```

Although poor God ceaselessly knocks

At my mind-door,

My mind is utterly complacent

And reluctant to answer. ```

2051

```

My love of God

Not only silences

But also slices my mind.

```

2052

```

A God-loving heart

Knows

What intensification is.

```

2053

```

A God-searching mind

Knows

What clarification is.

```

2054

```

My ignorance-freedom-fighter-heart,

You are my soul’s

Hero supreme.

```

2055

```

I shall not try to escape

From my mind.

I want to be brave

And fight for

My jungle-mind-forest’s

Complete transformation. ```

2056

```

I prayed to God

To bless me

With an invisible mind,

But God blessed me

With an invincible heart instead.

```

2057

```

Alas,

A lonely heart

Longs for a hope

That is not yet born. ```

2058

```

Our heart’s streaming tears

Play hide-and-seek

With the blossoming Smiles

Of Heaven. ```

2059

```

Within, the invisible acts

Of God-Compassion.

Without, the visible acts

Of God-Satisfaction. ```

2060

```

O seeker,

Lengthen and strengthen

Your God-devotion-tears.

```

2061

```

Finally I am able

To awaken

My God-denying mind.

```

2062

```

From my heart-room,

One by one I release

My God-manifestation-promises

Here on earth. ```

2063

```

God is forced to live

Behind the curtain

Of our mind.

```

2064

```

God gives your heart humility

To increase

Your God-manifestation-abilities.

```

2065

```

An indolence-life

Cannot easily be transformed,

Even by the astonishing power

Of miracles. ```

2066

```

Every day

God gives you a new opportunity

To please Him,

But because of your faith-empty heart,

You may not recognise it.

```

2067

```

Earth-born knowledge

Is afraid

Of God.

```

2068

```

Heaven-born wisdom

Is fond

Of God.

```

2069

```

Inside the body of time,

Nothing can ever

Be perfect.

```

2070

```

Beyond the mind of time,

Perfection grows, glows

And flows.

```

2071

```

My aspiration-heart

Deeply values

Even a fleeting Smile

From God’s Eye. ```

2072

```

No matter how beautiful

And how long-lasting

God’s Smile is,

My dissatisfaction-mind disdains it. ```

2073

```

God’s Compassion-Height

And His Forgiveness-Delight

Shall always remain unfathomable

And, therefore, unteachable. ```

2074

```

If happiness-sky you want,

Then gratitude-tears

You must first become.

```

2075

```

Alas, my ego and my pride

Feel that whatever they do

Is always right and just.

```

2076

```

My desire-life

Does not know

What real happiness is.

```

2077

```

My aspiration-heart

Shall never surrender

To a failure-life.

```

2078

```

O God,

Had I been wise,

I would not have played, sung and danced

With ignorance-king. ```

2079

```

A surrender-life

Does not take it as a challenge,

But as a blessing,

To live up to God’s Standard. ```

2080

```

Do not blame your life

And do not blame your mind,

But only blame yourself

For all the bad choices you have made

Over the years.

```

2081

```

A regularity-attendance-seeker

I appreciate.

A punctuality-attendance-seeker

I admire. ```

2082

```

God wants you to stop

Immediately

Your unaspiring train of thought.

```

2083

```

I am so fortunate

That I cannot even remember

When I was an ingratitude-mind.

```

2084

```

Your heart-tears are so powerful

That they can easily drown

Your mind’s fears.

```

2085

```

My happiness

My God-ascending dream.

```

2086

```

My promise

My God-descending reality.

```

2087

```

My Lord has promised

That the next time He visits,

He will bring me

His Silence-Sunrise-Beauty. ```

2088

```

It is not the quantity,

Not even the quality,

But the sincerity

Of my surrender-life

That pleases my Lord most.

```

2089

```

Every day

My life-boat plies

Between my God-realisation-shore

And

My God-manifestation-shore.

```

2090

```

Sincerity makes my life

God-lovable.

Purity makes my heart

God-enjoyable. ```

2091

```

Falsehood fearfully accepts

The challenges of life.

Truth smilingly accepts

The challenges of life

And declares its victory supreme.

```

2092

```

If we can peacefully live

In our inner self,

Then we can proudly live

With our outer self. ```

2093

```

The Enlightened Ones

Do not import and export Divinity.

They just spread Divinity

All-where. ```

2094

```

Desire is a bird

That we can never

Actually catch.

```

2095

```

Aspiration is a bird

That offers its wings

So that we can

Proudly fly. ```

2096

```

The doubting mind

And the strangling vital

Will never be able to see

The face of happiness. ```

2097

```

God has some

Supremely chosen instruments

Who can definitely turn

The ignorance-tide. ```

2098

```

You are a rank fool

If you expect the whole world

To follow you all the time.

```

2099

```

You are wisdom incarnate

If you do not lead,

If you do not follow,

But side-by-side

Walk with the rest of the world.

```

2100

```

O my aspiration-flames,

Because of you

My heart is divinely beautiful

And my life is supremely fruitful. ```

2101

```

Every morning

When I wake up,

My Lord Supreme blesses me

With a new happiness-heart-flute. ```

2102

```

Every day

New blooms and new blossoms

Take birth

In our God-serving life. ```

2103

```

My Lord tells me

That if I do not unlearn

My earthly information-book,

Then He will not bless me

With His Illumination-Smile.

```

2104

```

If you are rich in faith,

Then God Himself comes down

To show you the way

To your Destination. ```

2105

```

My Lord, when You allow me

To sit at Your Feet,

I never question You.

But when You allow me

To look at Your Eye,

I do question You.

My Lord, then why do You allow me

To look at Your Eye? ```

2106

```

God has given me

His full Assurance

That nothing in my life

Will ever be expelled

From His Grace.

```

2107

```

Frustration angrily chases

My greatness-mind.

Satisfaction proudly follows

My goodness-heart. ```

2108

```

By virtue of my prayer-life,

All my sweet dreams of God

I shall turn into

God-Victory-Songs. ```

2109

```

O seeker,

Do not allow depression

To come into you.

Even your yesterday’s failure-life

You must take as a remote incarnation.

```

2110

```

My prayers are my tears,

And my tears

Are my only satisfaction.

```

2111

```

I give my Lord

My aspiration-cries.

My Lord gives me

His Satisfaction-Harvest. ```

2112

```

Today’s patience-heart

Will become

Tomorrow’s peace-life.

```

2113

```

A oneness-life

Has always proved to be

The victor over insecurity.

```

2114

```

When we speak ill of others,

We definitely enter into

Our mind’s darkest abyss.

```

2115

```

Each time I satisfy my Lord Supreme

In His own Way,

I become my soul’s

Rainbow-beauty-smile. ```

2116

```

A disobedience-mind

Is forced to walk

Along the destruction-road.

```

2117

```

I always try to listen

To my heart’s

Sweetness-flower-beauty-whispers.

```

2118

```

If we do not aspire,

Then we remain

A useless, empty vessel-life.

```

2119

```

O my mind,

Wake up, wake up!

Do you not think

That it is too late to continue sleeping?

Wake up

From your eyeless ignorance-sleep! ```

2120

```

A difficult task, indeed,

But I have done it.

I have thrown insecurity

To the winds. ```

2121

```

Self-offering is the master-key

That can open up

Each and every human heart.

```

2122

```

Even the unutterable mistakes

In our lives

Can be rectified and illumined.

```

2123

```

Everything can be achieved

If we can have sterling faith

Both in God and in ourselves.

```

2124

```

God is

A twenty-four-hour

Compassion-Server.

```

2125

```

If you do not surrender your life to God

Happily and cheerfully,

Then your life will always be found

In the dust. ```

2126

```

The sooner you close your eyes

To darkness,

The better you will be able to see

The beauty and divinity of Light. ```

2127

```

Desire-drum

I was.

Aspiration-whisper

I am. ```

2128

```

If you really want to succeed

In your spiritual life,

Then you must not dance

With hesitation-legs. ```

2129

```

God-obedience-seekers

Are the products

Of God’s own Hands.

```

2130

```

What you should be looking for

Is not God’s Compassion,

Not even His Forgiveness,

But His Oneness-Delight. ```

2131

```

O seeker,

Do not waste time!

God’s Patience-Clock

May, before long, stop. ```

2132

```

God keeps His choice Hour-Door open

All the time

Only for those who deeply

And unreservedly value

His Compassion-flooded Eye.

```

2133

```

When I pray and meditate sleeplessly

And breathlessly,

God blesses my mind

With a moonlit sea of peace. ```

2134

```

God is always ready

To feed my hungry heart,

Not my greedy mind.

```

2135

```

A doubt-treasuring mind

I was.

But now a faith-blossoming heart

I am. ```

2136

```

God is extremely fond

Of my heart-tears,

No matter how short-lived they are.

```

2137

```

God-dreams do not allow God

To walk alone.

They most faithfully follow Him

Wherever He goes. ```

2138

```

I wanted to sail on a cruise ship,

But my Lord said to me,

“My child, what you need

Is an aspiration-sailboat.” ```

2139

```

Now that my heart

Is replete with faith,

Doubt is extremely eager to leave me

Once and for all. ```

2140

```

I do my job:

I greedily cling

To my desire-life.

God does His Job:

He sleeplessly dreams

Of my perfection-life. ```

2141

```

God tells me

That if I feel I am really great,

Then I must face my own face,

Not others’ eyes. ```

2142

```

Yesterday

I threatened my anxiety-mind

So that it would leave me alone.

Alas, today my pride-mind

Is telling me

That it will never let me live alone. ```

2143

```

My mind,

It is high time for you

To look for a new place to live.

For such a long time

You have been living

In your old despair-house. ```

2144

```

Yesterday

I thought that my desire-life

Was stronger than the strongest.

Today

I am convinced that my aspiration-life

Is sweeter than the sweetest. ```

2145

```

My Lord, I beg of You,

Do come and fix my will-power.

How long will You allow it

To remain out of order? ```

2146

```

My soul is cautioning my heart

Not to wear out

My Lord’s Compassion.

```

2147

```

Wake up, wake up,

O my sleeping mind!

Can you not hear

God’s Compassion-Concern-

Alarm Clock

Ringing and ringing? ```

2148

```

Watch out!

The doubt-tiger is running fast,

Very fast,

To devour your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life.

```

2149

```

Do not worry about your connection

With Heaven.

Worry only so long as it is necessary

To revive your aspiration. ```

2150

```

Now that I have cornered

My doubting mind,

Nothing in my life can remain

Unattainable. ```

2151

```

Hesitation obstructs

Our forward-looking vision

More than we can ever imagine.

```

2152

```

Alas,

Anticipation of failure

Is devouring his life-breath.

```

2153

```

May my world-transformation-promises

Devotedly and powerfully

Thrive.

```

2154

```

O seeker, you fool!

You must always pay attention

To your soul’s sweet whispers

And not to your mind’s loud drumbeats. ```

2155

```

You want God to be proud of you,

But can you supply Him

With even one solitary reason?

```

2156

```

If your heart accepts God

On His own terms,

Then He will immediately give you

His private Telephone Number. ```

2157

```

God tells me

That each approach I make to Him

Is, indeed, unique.

```

2158

```

O seeker,

You suffer precisely because

You do not keep your heart-engine

All the time running. ```

2159

```

The mind’s obscurity

Either hides or always speaks ill of

The heart’s humility.

```

2160

```

An unaspiring life

Is nothing other than

An insignificant ant-promise.

```

2161

```

You are apt to misunderstand

Your third eye.

Therefore, God is compelled

To blindfold it. ```

2162

```

A hopelessly useless day

Is the day that I do not offer

My gratitude-heart

To my Lord Supreme. ```

2163

```

God tells me

That He will be highly pleased with me

If I pay all attention

To my own divinity’s reality

And not to my mind’s false specialty.

```

2164

```

How can there be any willingness

In the mind

When there is no soulfulness

In the heart? ```

2165

```

You will never be able

To succeed triumphantly

In your spiritual life

Until you feel God’s Heart

Is your only home.

```

2166

```

Each God-manifestation-dreamer

On earth

Is a supreme herald

Of a new age. ```

2167

```

Keep asking whomever you meet

For directions to God’s Heart-Home.

Someday,

Someone will definitely be able

To help you.

```

2168

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity

Are God-messengers.

They are not supposed to play the role

Of actors. ```

2169

```

If you want to enjoy

The thrill of silence,

The thunderous sound-life

You must shun. ```

2170

```

Do not try to correct

People who do wrong things.

It will be worse than useless.

Only support and help

Those who are doing the right thing.

```

2171

```

When my desire-life sees

God’s Light-flooded Palace,

It gets frightened to death.

```

2172

```

When my aspiration-heart sees

God’s Light-flooded Palace,

It just runs there

And becomes a permanent resident. ```

2173

```

God suffers more than you do

When you think of your failure-life.

You love God.

Why, then, torture poor God? ```

2174

```

May my heart every day

Swim in the sea

Of my God-longing tears.

```

2175

```

Alas, my doubt-mind-patient

For years and years

Has been hiding

From my faith-heart-doctor. ```

2176

```

God’s Compassion-flooded Will

Will never be understood

By humanity’s mind.

```

2177

```

The unavoidable consequences

Of our actions

Can be avoided

If we can bring down the Smiles

Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

2178

```

God immediately rewards my heart

Lovingly, cheerfully and abundantly

Whenever my heart offers something

Prayerfully and soulfully

To Him.

```

2179

```

Our search for world-peace

Will one day

Be crowned with success,

Without fail. ```

2180

```

My Lord tells me,

“My child, I have come to you

With My most blessingful Gift:

Poise.” ```

2181

```

Peace

Is not a new invention.

Peace

Is a very, very old discovery. ```

2182

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart-Door

Is open every day

For twenty-four hours.

```

2183

```

A God-surrendered life is blessed

With unparalleled capacities

For God-manifestation.

```

2184

```

My heart’s ever-increasing tears

And my soul’s ever-blossoming smiles

Have pleased my Lord Supreme

Far beyond my imagination. ```

2185

```

If we do not use the aspiration-cries

Of our heart,

Then we are bound to lose them.

```

2186

```

He who always follows closely

God’s Will

Will succeed in his outer life

And proceed in his inner life. ```

2187

```

Nothing good and divine

Can ever be accomplished

Without God’s Compassion-Sea,

Or at least God’s Co-operation. ```

2188

```

The very nature

Of the unaspiring mind

Is to misunderstand and belittle others.

```

2189

```

How stupid the human mind is!

It does not even mind being buried

Under an avalanche of worthless

And useless facts. ```

2190

```

Each disobedience-breath

Is extremely dangerous

To the God-longing aspiration-heart.

```

2191

```

Today I am so happy and proud

Of myself

For telling the world

That my very breath

Is only for God to use.

```

2192

```

O my mind,

What are you doing?

How do you dare to dance

With the doubt-dragon? ```

2193

```

If we worship God’s Will

As our own, very own,

Then God will declare us

His choicest representative

On earth,

Him to please and fulfil

In His own Way.

```

2194

```

God-realisation and God-manifestation

Have to be for God’s Satisfaction,

And for nothing else.

This divine message has been told

And retold

Down through the centuries. ```

2195

```

God’s Compassion knows only nearness,

Oneness and fulness,

And never aloofness.

```

2196

```

Disobedience belongs to those

Who are already lost

Or going to be lost

In the battlefield of their spiritual life. ```

2197

```

When I use God’s Forgiveness

Inside my mind-jungle,

It is perishable.

When I use God’s Forgiveness

Inside my heart-garden,

It is imperishable. ```

2198

```

Each time I become the possessor

Of a divine thought,

I immediately jump

Into the cosmic Beyond. ```

2199

```

To my greatest joy,

My God-willingness-heart

Is blooming and blossoming

With sweetest fragrance. ```

2200

```

Sympathise only with those

Who are weak

Yet, at the same time,

Are trying to be strong

In their spiritual life.

But never sympathise with those

Who treasure their disobedience-life.

```

2201

```

Only a very poor seeker

Keeps his aspiration-heart

Always under construction.

```

2202

```

God claims us as His own,

Very own,

Not only when we are at the summit

Of our aspiration-height,

But also when we and our consciousness

Live together in the abysmal abyss. ```

2203

```

My marathon boasting

Puts my Lord Supreme

To most peaceful sleep.

```

2204

```

Carelessness is not only painful

But also destructive —

Far beyond our imagination.

```

2205

```

Just a fleeting Smile

From my Lord Supreme

Has built a new foundation

For my aspiration-life. ```

2206

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

And His Compassion-Eye

Are infinitely dearer and closer

Than our breath. ```

2207

```

Neither the God-reasoning mind

Nor the God-doubting mind

Will ever be able to understand God.

```

2208

```

Secretly, happily and proudly

God uses His private Door

To enter into my aspiration-heart.

```

2209

```

May my life grow

Into the beauty

Of a rainbow-dawn.

```

2210

```

God

Never pays any attention

To the God-hesitating mind.

```

2211

```

In the spiritual life,

An aspiration-power failure

Is so common!

```

2212

```

You have simply no idea

How powerful a single doubt can be.

It can destroy our sterling faith

In the twinkling of an eye. ```

2213

```

A self-giver

Is God’s

Own extended Hands.

```

2214

```

The more tears you shed for God,

The sooner you will be able

To please Him

And claim Him. ```

2215

```

God and God’s Ears

Eagerly wait for

Your love-devotion-surrender-whispers.

```

2216

```

Since God has come to you,

Make up your mind!

Give Him either your crying heart

Or your doubting mind —

Or you can give Him both!

```

2217

```

God the Mother you can please easily

With your soulful smiles

And tearful eyes.

```

2218

```

When I finally claimed God

As my own, very own,

Heaven stood up

With roaring applause. ```

2219

```

I frequent my Lord’s House

And take His Newsletters

To distribute to the world.

```

2220

```

You can expect a heavy downpour

Of Grace from Above

If you give God implicitly

The beauty, purity and divinity

Of your heart.

```

2221

```

My Lord, only one thing

I need from You:

A moment of bliss-flooded peace.

```

2222

```

His mind’s doubt-storm

Has ruthlessly shocked

His faith-built heart-foundation.

```

2223

```

Humanity and unfulfilled

God-manifestation-promises

Shall always be found together.

```

2224

```

It is never too late

To sit for

Our God-satisfaction-examination.

```

2225

```

My whole being is drawn into

The beauty and fragrance

Of a new age.

```

2226

```

My heart is resolved

To be more devotedly involved

In God-manifestation-activities.

```

2227

```

You can climb up the highest heights

Provided you do not forget

To take your Lord’s immeasurable Help.

```

2228

```

All our differences disappear

When our mind’s readiness,

Life’s willingness

And heart’s eagerness

Work together.

```

2229

```

May each breath of my heart

Help me turn my life

Into a God-temple.

```

2230

```

We must learn once more

That human life

Is the melody of a universal song.

```

2231

```

God’s unconditional Grace

Has transformed his barren

Nothingness-life

Into a colourful and powerful

God-manifestation-smile.

```

2232

```

Every day I would like to be

A new-born devotion-creation

Of God.

```

2233

```

The life of a seeker

Has to be guarded

Every day, without fail,

Against impurity-attacks. ```

2234

```

I want to enshrine my life

Not by continual sacrifices,

But by constant love of God.

```

2235

```

Never too late to regain

One’s aspiration-cries

And dedication-smiles!

```

2236

```

If you forget to offer

Your morning tears and cries

To God,

Then you will sigh the entire day. ```

2237

```

The more he increased

His faith in God,

The more soulfully his heart

Was able to worship God. ```

2238

```

Whenever there is a sad dispute

Between my mind and my heart,

God always takes the side

Of my heart,

For God knows that the heart

Has a clear vision of reality’s life. ```

2239

```

Poor seeker!

At long last you feel and believe

That God has a special Blessing,

Special Love and special Concern

For you.

```

2240

```

Do not give up!

God will definitely

One day come to you

And clasp your eyes

With His Fondness-Smile.

```

2241

```

Can you win your life’s battle

Against the undivine forces?

Yes, you can,

If you say “Yes” to God

Long before the battle begins.

```

2242

```

My soul has drawn

My body, vital, mind and heart

Into the beauty of a new dawn.

```

2243

```

Our longing for God

Has to be

Both urgent and permanent.

```

2244

```

O seeker, you cannot have

A God-smiling heart

If you enjoy

A man-hating mind. ```

2245

```

Alas, in vain I say

Good-bye and good-bye and good-bye

To my God-disobedience-mind.

```

2246

```

It is not enough

To trim negative thoughts.

Negative thoughts have to be buried!

```

2247

```

O my mind, you can easily escape

At every moment

From the clutches of giant doubt

By taking shelter at the Feet

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

2248

```

God-fulfilment-opportunities

Will arrive at our aspiration-door

Again and again every day,

If we can keep our heart’s devotion-cries

On the increase.

```

2249

```

His sleepless aspiration

Has pleased God to such an extent

That God Himself has built

A God-Satisfaction-Nest

For him to live in.

```

2250

```

If you are a sincere seeker,

Then fear and anxiety

Are bound to chase

All your pleasure-indulgence-thoughts. ```

2251

```

The human life has its ups and downs,

But the divine life is blessed

Only with God’s ever-brightening Smiles.

```

2252

```

You are good when you strive

For your perfection,

But you are infinitely better

When you strive for God-Satisfaction

Only.

```

2253

```

No matter what happens,

Today I am determined

To bid farewell

To my mind’s brooding doubts. ```

2254

```

When my life is only for God,

I clearly see

That God is ready to feed

All my needs. ```

2255

```

O seeker, do not despair,

Do not despair!

Despair is an all-devouring,

Ferocious tiger. ```

2256

```

Meditate on God’s Compassion-Eye

While you are driving

Through the streets of life.

Lo, God will not allow

Fear, doubt and anxiety

To accompany you. ```

2257

```

God is always eager

To crown us with His divine Love,

Joy and Pride.

But, alas, we are never ready! ```

2258

```

The deplorable fate of humanity

Is that it is apt to bathe

In a sea of unfulfilled promises.

```

2259

```

May my life become

A perfect slave

To my God-fulfilment-desire.

```

2260

```

My God-satisfaction-life

Is made by

The Tears of God’s Heart

And the Smiles of His Eye. ```

2261

```

There is no difference,

Absolutely none,

Between a desire-land

And a wasteland. ```

2262

```

All my God-fulfilment-promises

Were born from my heart’s

Heaven-climbing hopes.

```

2263

```

We know that our lives

Are made of endless shortcomings.

But do we know or even care to know

That God’s Life is made of

Endless and endless Forgiveness?

```

2264

```

The more I pray and meditate,

The clearer I hear God’s Voice

Saying that I am a choice

Manifestation of His Will. ```

2265

```

When I pray soulfully,

I unmistakably see

That God’s Compassion-Eye

Is watching me, protecting me

And guiding me

All the time. ```

2266

```

Without God’s unconditional Grace,

I could not have even dreamt

Of terminating my age-old relationship

With the darkness-ignorance-prince. ```

2267

```

Negativity’s turbulent sea

You can easily escape

By taking shelter inside

Your faith-heart-fort. ```

2268

```

Beauty is our face

When our life becomes

Its purity-heart.

```

2269

```

Alas, we do not know

Why somehow we enjoy

Our life’s sorrow-bound journey.

```

2270

```

When God and God’s Compassion-Eye

Come to visit me in my heart-room,

I immediately enjoy

An indescribable ecstasy-thrill. ```

2271

```

In a twinkling,

The disobedience-mind

Has the capacity to capsize

Our life’s God-happiness-boat. ```

2272

```

The soul is the only

God-representative-singer

Authorised by God Himself.

```

2273

```

I am perfectly fine

Only when I realise

That God is not only mine,

But everybody’s. ```

2274

```

Every single Smile from God

Shortens the distance

To my God-Destination-Shore.

```

2275

```

Only a God-Satisfaction-dreamer

Can be

A universal oneness-lover.

```

2276

```

Obedience and surrender

Are lesser-known

Virtues.

```

2277

```

He has made the fastest progress

On the strength of his inner poise

And outer courage.

```

2278

```

Familiarity with God’s

Compassion-Eye

Is sweetness indescribable.

```

2279

```

We fail to make the fastest progress

In our spiritual life

Because so often we oscillate

Between inner strength

And outer weakness.

```

2280

```

Our academic accomplishments

Quite often stand in our way

When we want to dive deep

Into the spiritual life. ```

2281

```

We must not try to escape

The mind-abyss.

We must illumine the mind-abyss

For peace and bliss to live in. ```

2282

```

I strongly feel that

When I lose the riches

Of the outer world,

I shall gain the riches

Of the inner world.

```

2283

```

My Lord Supreme

Is extremely proud

Of my soul’s limitless harvest

Of His God-Smiles. ```

2284

```

The undivine forces give us

Disobedience-lessons

And compel us to walk along

The destruction-road. ```

2285

```

May my aspiration-heart

Remain ever-beautiful

And my dedication-life

Remain ever-bountiful. ```

2286

```

God wants me to take

My past mistakes

As remote incarnations,

And pay no attention to them. ```

2287

```

God tells me that if I sing

My aspiration-songs well,

Then He will be inspired

To teach me

Realisation-dances.

```

2288

```

My Lord Supreme,

Never allow my mind

To suffer from

Inspiration-exhaustion. ```

2289

```

My Lord Supreme,

Never allow my heart

To suffer from

Aspiration-shortage. ```

2290

```

Do not depend

Either on time or space.

Depend only

On God’s ceaseless Grace. ```

2291

```

O seeker, do not be a fool!

Never, never dispute

With God’s Compassion-Eye

On any subject. ```

2292

```

He who turns away from God’s Grace

And thinks he can protect himself

In the inner life by his own efforts,

Will meet with perdition —

To his great shock.

```

2293

```

Jealousy, insecurity and impurity

Have no access

To my heart-home.

```

2294

```

Smile, smile, O world, smile!

You have to replace your heart-tears

With your soul-smiles.

```

2295

```

Our frightening and threatening destiny

We must challenge and transform

Into an enlightening destiny.

```

2296

```

As our enthusiasm and success

Live together,

So also do our obedience and progress.

```

2297

```

Life’s sorrows and joys

Are but

Revolving doors.

```

2298

```

My Lord tells me

That my task is to satisfy Him

With my surrender-heart,

And His Task is to perfect my life

With His Compassion-Sea.

```

2299

```

My readiness-mind, my eagerness-heart

And my willingness-life

Have won today

God’s Victory-Chariot. ```

2300

```

I shall never return

To my mind’s

Depression-frustration-country!

```

2301

```

Without loving God first,

If you try to improve the world,

Then you are only going

To prolong the life

Of your own stupidity-mind.

```

2302

```

You do not have to go

To the forest.

Only keep your mind

Out of the forest.

Your heart-garden is beckoning you.

Immediately respond. ```

2303

```

Do not feed

Your fawn-curiosity.

Feed your genuine

Aspiration-necessity. ```

2304

```

At last I am so happy

Because I am returning everything

To its real Owner:

God. ```

2305

```

It depends entirely

On us

Whether we make our body

A friend or an enemy. ```

2306

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am unimaginably happy

When I sincerely feel

That I am a slave of Your slave. ```

2307

```

Out of His infinite Compassion,

My Lord Supreme has allowed me

To touch His Feet.

Therefore, all my desires

And earthly wishes

I have totally forgotten. ```

2308

```

Your false spirituality

Can govern only

Your outer life of doubt,

And never your inner life

Of faith.

```

2309

```

If you want God’s Grace

More than anything else,

Then happily and proudly

Remain seated at God’s Feet. ```

2310

```

If your mind is not caught

By pleasure and pain,

Then God Himself will come down

And unchain your life. ```

2311

```

My hungry desire-life

Has ceased.

I am now ready for

The real spiritual life. ```

2312

```

How can I have any fear and doubt

Now?

I clearly see my Lord Supreme

Is coming —

Singing and dancing.

```

2313

```

God tells me to be wise

And to welcome smilingly

Whatever befalls me.

```

2314

```

We came into the world

To enjoy the beauty and fragrance

Of calm delight

While manifesting God’s Light

On earth.

```

2315

```

My Lord,

Do You really love me?

Then do not allow me

To part from You.

From now on, I shall gladly

And proudly

Do Your Bidding.

```

2316

```

I have unmistakably departed

From my desire-life.

My soul is the witness.

```

2317

```

My Lord says to me:

“My child,

You are under no obligation

To allow your desire-mind

To torment your life.”

```

2318

```

I have replaced my illusion-mind

With my aspiration-heart —

To my greatest joy!

```

2319

```

O my Inner Pilot Supreme,

Do allow not only my heart,

But also my eyes,

To rest at Your Compassion-Feet

Forever.

```

2320

```

Only one Compassion-Touch

Of my Lord Supreme

Has changed the course of my life

Altogether. ```

2321

```

The moment I woke up,

I saw my soul

Singing and dancing

In ecstasy. ```

2322

```

We usually do not mind

When our Heavenly visa expires,

But we feel miserable

When our earthly visa expires. ```

2323

```

O my mind, come with me!

Let us both retire

Into the heart of silence.

```

2324

```

An aspiration-heart

Is the brightest Smile

Of God.

```

2325

```

God does not mind

Giving us repeated chances

If He sees each time

That our sincerity increases. ```

2326

```

Every day we must clean

Our mind-room

In the hope that our Lord Supreme

Will pay a short visit. ```

2327

```

The moment our mind

Became a victim to insecurity,

We were thrown off

The spirituality-track. ```

2328

```

The divine in us

Smilingly wants to serve.

The human in us

Proudly wants to be served. ```

2329

```

O seeker,

Do not let your insincerity-mind

Try to escape from the world-eye,

If you long for perfection. ```

2330

```

As an encouragement-flower

Inspires all,

Even so, a criticism-thorn

Hurts all. ```

2331

```

The more worries and anxieties

Speak about God,

The more they get lost

In the land of nowhere. ```

2332

```

My mind’s bitterness-hatred

Cannot help loving

My heart’s sweetness-smile.

```

2333

```

When my aspiration-heart

Sleeps,

My illumination-soul

Helplessly weeps. ```

2334

```

Man quite often forgets

The consequences

Of his tempting and tempted fate.

```

2335

```

God keeps His Promise:

He comes down

With His Compassion-Smile.

Man does not keep his promise:

He does not go up

With his aspiration-cry. ```

2336

```

The very nature of obstacles

Is to mount.

But who asked you not to surmount?

```

2337

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Becomes His Sadness-Heart

When His lost children

Do not care for

His all-illumining Light.

```

2338

```

My God-aspiration-cries

Are, indeed, beautiful and fruitful.

But my God-manifestation-life

Is all satisfaction. ```

2339

```

My heart-approach to God,

I feel,

Will definitely allow me to avoid

Future Himalayan blunders. ```

2340

```

My heart-peace-home

Is deep inside

My soul-power-fortress.

```

2341

```

The unaspiring mind always thinks

That God’s Standard

Is unnecessarily high.

```

2342

```

The aspiring heart feels

That God’s Standard

Could have been infinitely higher

If God’s Justice-Light

Had prevailed.

```

2343

```

A blessingful God-Touch

Powerfully awakened

My sleeping life.

```

2344

```

God asks me to judge everything

With my heart’s tears

And not with my mind’s frowns.

```

2345

```

May each heartbeat of mine

Be a sacred Dream

Of my Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

2346

```

A sincerity-mind

And

A purity-heart

Are truly fond of each other. ```

2347

```

A man of prayer

Eventually becomes

A heart of silence-delight.

```

2348

```

Today’s God-Compassion-dreamer

Will be tomorrow’s

God-Satisfaction-achiever.

```

2349

```

My heart’s ceaseless tears

And my life’s sorrowless smiles

Are making a passport for me

To enter the highest Heaven

When the final hour strikes.

```

2350

```

I want to listen to God

Not with my mind-disobedience-ear,

But with my heart-obedience-smile.

```

2351

```

My Lord,

How can I touch Your Feet

With my impure mind?

```

2352

```

God is stretching out

His Oneness-Heart

To me.

```

2353

```

Desire-trips

Are always

Unbelievably dangerous.

```

2354

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is always eager

To navigate our life-boat.

But where is our readiness? ```

2355

```

God’s Lion-Victory

Shall dawn in our life

When we long for

His Omnipresence-Love,

And not His Omnipotence-Power.

```

2356

```

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Smile

Is the pole-star

Of my aspiration-life.

```

2357

```

God asked me if I needed anything

From Him.

I said to Him,

“My Lord, only one Boon:

While repeating Your Name,

I want to declare my journey’s close.” ```

2358

```

O my seeker-friend,

God can definitely erase

All your past failures.

I am, indeed, a radiant example! ```

2359

```

A God-realised person

Is he who can inundate

The whole world

With His God-realisation-light

And delight.

```

2360

```

One seeker says to another,

“My friend, be not discouraged

On the way.

I have taken millions

Of faltering steps

To arrive at the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.”

```

2361

```

Hope,

My secret and sacred hope,

Let us ascend together

For God-realisation. ```

2362

```

Promise,

My challenging and daring promise,

Let us descend together

For God-manifestation. ```

2363

```

Nobody is condemned

To be a victim

To spirituality-drought.

```

2364

```

Nobody is condemned

To a slow and dangerous

Spirituality-voyage.

```

2365

```

To insulate ourselves

From the outer world

Is definitely not the right way

To please God. ```

2366

```

God is extremely proud of him

Because his days and nights

Are punctuated by prayers

And meditations. ```

2367

```

My lotus-heart

Has only one place

To bloom and blossom:

At my Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```

2368

```

Infinity’s silence sleeps inside

The beauty and fragrance

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

2369

```

I am so happy and excited

That my Lord Supreme and my soul

Have arrived together

To unveil my heart-shrine. ```

2370

```

The God who has given you

The capacity to dream

Has also given you

The capacity to execute.

So begin your task here and now!

```

2371

```

Give and give and give

Ever-increasingly

If you do not want to

Impoverish yourself. ```

2372

```

The beauty of my outer smile

Entirely depends on

The fragrance of my inner faith.

```

2373

```

May my soul’s delight

Reign supreme

In my life.

```

2374

```

We must realise that our inner strength

Is infinitely stronger

Than any outer incidents.

```

2375

```

My forgiveness-heart

Is always rewarded

By my Lord Supreme

Far beyond my imagination. ```

2376

```

Is there a single aspiration-heart

That does not long for

Peace?

```

2377

```

Is there a single desire-mind

That ever longs for

Peace?

```

2378

```

I have made my life

Happy and peaceful

By expecting the unexpected.

```

2379

```

Do not look out;

There is nothing.

Turn within;

There is everything. ```

2380

```

My prayer-heart

Has finally transformed

My barren desert-life

Into a blossoming heart-garden. ```

2381

```

In God’s Eye,

Everything is His own

Beauty’s Touch.

```

2382

```

It is the same God

Who decreases my desire-life

And increases my aspiration-heart.

```

2383

```

Our God-obedience in small things

Makes big things

Infinitely easier to achieve.

```

2384

```

My Lord,

May I claim everybody’s heart-beauty

As my own?

“My child,

Certainly you can and you must.”

```

2385

```

God gives me His Inspiration,

And I give Him my heart-song

In return.

```

2386

```

Alas, every day I argue

With my mind.

My mind wants nothing

But new degrees of greatness-height.

What I want my mind to have

Is goodness-depth. ```

2387

```

The difference between

My mind and my heart

Is this:

My mind is a self-styled

God-talker,

And my heart is an accomplished

God-lover.

```

2388

```

My greatest discovery

Was my love-devotion-surrender-recovery

From ignorance-night.

```

2389

```

The distant shore

Towards which we sail our life-boat

Is within, and not without.

```

2390

```

If you are planning to graduate

From your desire-course

And go on to a higher aspiration-course,

Then immeasurable will be

God’s Joy.

```

2391

```

Ineffable

Are man’s ascending tears

And God’s descending Smiles.

```

2392

```

From now on I shall cherish

My new blossoming

And blossomed dreams,

And not remain in the valley

Of my forgotten dreams.

```

2393

```

Once you enter into the spiritual life,

You must take your life as God-belief,

And your heart as the God-believer.

```

2394

```

A love of beauty

I was.

The beauty of love

I am. ```

2395

```

Peace-dreamers and peace-lovers

Are God’s first-class representatives

On earth.

```

2396

```

May my aspiration-heart

Become once more

An earth-illumining lamp.

```

2397

```

Be not afraid of the storms of life.

The rainbow of time

Will soon be visible.

```

2398

```

When you aspire,

You bring to the fore from within

The celestial beauty of your future.

```

2399

```

My heart’s pitiful tears

Are my life’s questions.

My soul’s bountiful smiles

Are my life’s answers. ```

2400

```

Why do I not listen to my Lord Supreme?

Is it because He is too familiar,

Or too unfamiliar?

```

2401

```

What kind of seeker are you

If you are not blindly,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

For God? ```

2402

```

Even when sorrows cloud his heart,

He meditates on God’s Compassion-Eye

And Protection-Feet.

```

2403

```

We are totally mistaken

If we feel that God has disowned us

For our impossible misdeeds.

He has not yet learnt the art

Of disowning His creation.

```

2404

```

Be not proud!

If you think your aspiration

Is unsinkable,

You may be utterly mistaken. ```

2405

```

We must wash our suspicion-mind

With our heart’s tears

If we want to see rainbow-beauty

In our spirituality-sky. ```

2406

```

My Lord Supreme

Is extremely proud of me

Because my heart is no longer

Attacked by insecurities. ```

2407

```

Alas, the desire-mind

Has no inkling

Of the aspiration of the inner life.

```

2408

```

Frustration-days and nights

Are so familiar

To the unaspiring mind!

```

2409

```

God’s unconditional Compassion

Has taken away completely

My desire-hunger.

```

2410

```

My joy knows no bounds

Now that I have become

A newborn

God-fulfilment-eagerness-child. ```

2411

```

I am so grateful to my soul

For never allowing me

To neglect my heart-shrine.

```

2412

```

I must never forget

That God wants me to have friends,

And not fans.

```

2413

```

I have come to realise

That there are many things invisible

That can play the roles

Of invincibilities. ```

2414

```

God is not at all impressed

With my outer success.

What He wants from me

Is perfection-flooded progress. ```

2415

```

When saints and sinners mix together,

God becomes His Heart’s

Ecstasy-Song.

```

2416

```

I have known

Since the beginning of time

That God never gives up on us,

No matter how worthless and useless

We are.

```

2417

```

Be not proud

Of your mind-jungle.

Can you not see that

You have lowered

The God-aspiration-standard

Of humanity? ```

2418

```

God’s express Compassion-Train

Knows no

Ultimate station.

```

2419

```

God wants to bless each human being

With a perfection-tower,

But alas, our receptivity

Is nowhere to be found. ```

2420

```

When we embark

On our spiritual journey,

We embody the beauty

And reveal the fragrance

Of our own divinity.

```

2421

```

If you cannot break through

Each and every ego-obstacle,

Then you will not be able

To place the victory-crown

At the Feet of your Lord Supreme.

```

2422

```

God tells me to be a volunteer

In the battle for

God-manifestation-height

And God-satisfaction-depth. ```

2423

```

Without serving mankind,

You can never become a member

Of God’s immediate Family.

```

2424

```

His sleepless devotion

To his Lord Supreme

Has devoured

All his doubt-anxiety-enemies. ```

2425

```

O my mind,

How long do you want God to wait

For you to launch your life-boat

On His Compassion-Love-Sea? ```

2426

```

The seeker’s God-satisfaction-attempts

Cannot forever remain

Unfulfilled.

```

2427

```

Do not expect

The outer world’s sympathy

To liberate you.

It is unmistakably absurd! ```

2428

```

Once a self-giving heart

Starts giving,

It only continues and continues,

And never stops. ```

2429

```

I am winging and winging

The vault of the blue sky

To hear God’s Victory-Song.

```

2430

```

Humour

Is my life’s

Fear and tear-killer.

```

2431

```

I have finally liberated

My insecurity-heart

To walk, march and run

Along God’s sunlit Road

To arrive at the Destination.

```

2432

```

Success comes from

Enthusiasm.

Progress comes from

Self-giving. ```

2433

```

The only solace

In my anxiety-ridden life

Is that my Lord Supreme

Truly and sleeplessly loves me. ```

2434

```

He who holds goodness in his heart

Feels at once

God’s Fondness and Fulness.

```

2435

```

Human life

Desperately tries to keep

The flickering hope-flame

Alive. ```

2436

```

God wants my inspiration-mind

To patronise my aspiration-heart.

But what my mind is doing,

Instead of patronising,

Is antagonising.

```

2437

```

Alas, I claim to be a God-lover,

Yet so often

I dare to disagree with Him.

```

2438

```

My heart’s aspiration-song of today

Will tomorrow turn into

My life’s dedication-dance.

```

2439

```

You must become a God-dreamer

First.

Then you can become a God-lover.

```

2440

```

A God-lover is

A blooming and blossoming

God-representative on earth.

```

2441

```

If I really feel

God’s Love for me,

Who or what

Can ever disturb me? ```

2442

```

The mind definitely needs

Divine Illumination.

The heart unmistakably needs

Universal Oneness. ```

2443

```

In the spiritual life,

Nothing can be as valuable

As unconditional surrender

To God’s Will. ```

2444

```

If you cannot claim others’ happiness

As your own,

Then you will not be able to enjoy

Your own happiness unreservedly. ```

2445

```

If there is a competition between

A God-questioning mind

And a God-aspiring heart,

I am sure the heart will prevail. ```

2446

```

Each moment can be

The blossoming

Of a new life.

```

2447

```

Obedience

Paves the way

To ecstasy-sea.

```

2448

```

The mind can conceive

Great things.

The heart can do

Good things. ```

2449

```

I am happy

When I can sincerely believe

That my Lord Supreme is for me.

```

2450

```

I am perfect

When I can prayerfully

And devotedly feel

That I am for God only. ```

2451

```

A genuine prayer carries in itself

Joy in abundant measure.

It does not have to wait

For its fulfilment. ```

2452

```

I am praying to God

For my aspiration, dedication,

Surrender and gratitude

Always to remain in full measure. ```

2453

```

Unless you have

A fulness-heart-fragrance,

You cannot have

A newness-life-beauty. ```

2454

```

I am praying to God

Not for a mind-exciting

Experiment,

But for a life-illumining

Experience.

```

2455

```

Since life itself is an art,

We must pray to God

To make us His choice artists.

```

2456

```

Nobody really likes to mix with doubt,

Yet we are neither brave

Nor eager enough

To cast aside all doubts

From our mind.

```

2457

```

When I lose sight of

God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart,

I am hopelessly lost —

Like a street beggar!

```

2458

```

To a certain extent,

My mind can tolerate the person

Who does not appreciate

Anything great in others. ```

2459

```

It is impossible

For my heart to tolerate anybody

Who cannot admire

The good things in others. ```

2460

```

Your receptivity-heart

Must never give shelter

To your negativity-mind.

```

2461

```

Our unwillingness to accept

The world as it is,

Is an unnecessary extra obstacle

That stands in the way of

Our happiness-life.

```

2462

```

I am determined to transform

My heart’s pitiful tears

Into my life’s blissful smiles.

```

2463

```

My Lord,

Please do not forget to do one thing:

Do give me the capacity

To enter into the storms of time

To proclaim Your supreme Victory.

```

2464

```

If you can fill the day

With devotional songs,

Then God promises to strike

His Victory-Gongs. ```

2465

```

When we criticise others,

We mistakenly feel that we are

Mature adults.

When we try to understand others,

We unmistakably feel that we are

Younger than an infant. ```

2466

```

The outer music

Can at times puzzle our heart,

If not our mind.

But the inner music

Is our life’s invaluable strength

And treasure. ```

2467

```

God has given my soul

A very special task:

Wherever God goes

My soul smilingly and dancingly carries

The Keys to God’s Kingdom.

```

2468

```

God’s Compassion-Heart-Door

Remains always wide open.

Alas, everybody comes in,

Save and except

The intellectual giants.

```

2469

```

If you can respect and love

The present hour,

Your future years will fly towards you

With confidence-delight. ```

2470

```

We really do not know

What we do and why we do it.

This moment we see that our life

Is nothing other than an endless sleep.

The next moment we feel that our life

Is an aimless run hither and thither. ```

2471

```

A self-giving heart

Constantly bubbles

With ecstasy’s height

And ecstasy’s depth. ```

2472

```

May my life’s cry

Fly

With my heart’s prayer.

```

2473

```

My soul’s God-manifestation-dream

Is immortalising

My life.

```

2474

```

My God-willingness only

Has the capacity to challenge

The pride of disobedience-wall.

```

2475

```

My fountain-flow-meditation

Is inspiring me to sing

The song of self-transformation.

```

2476

```

My God-gratitude-heart

Has said a determined good-bye

To ignorance-night.

```

2477

```

If you are wallowing

In the pleasures of ignorance

On earth,

How do you expect a front row seat

In Heaven

At your journey’s close? ```

2478

```

God wants you to sow

Aspiration-dedication-seeds.

Is there any reason

Why you are not abiding

By His Request?

```

2479

```

May every second of my earth-life

Be transformed into

A self-offering-song.

```

2480

```

Self-doubt is

The drowning moment

Of our spiritual life.

```

2481

```

My Lord,

Your divine Greatness

Is trying to save me.

```

2482

```

My Lord tells me

That I must offer Him

Every single day

My devotion-intensity-heart. ```

2483

```

My Lord,

When You do not fulfil my desires,

Somehow I accept my fate.

But when You pretend

That You do not know me,

I just swim in the sea of despair. ```

2484.

```

My Lord, You are proud of me

When my humility is sincere.

My Lord, You are proud of me

When my gratitude is pure. ```

2485

```

My Lord, my heart is full

Of anxious longing.

Do You get pleasure

By remaining always beyond my reach? ```

2486

```

My Lord,

Detachment is what You want

From me.

But I also want something

From myself:

Patience. ```

2487

```

My Lord,

It seems that You love

To bring things to a crisis.

“My child,

Your intuition needs immediate repair.”

```

2488

```

My Lord,

My austerities do not please You.

My repetition of Your Name

Does not please You.

What, then, will please You?

“My child, your sleepless,

Smiling surrender to My Will —

That is all!” ```

2489

```

My Lord, it is up to You

To accept me or reject me,

But until You decide,

My eyes are going to feast

On Your Feet.

```

2490

```

I deeply enjoy

My Lord’s Sweetness-Smile.

My Lord blessingfully enjoys

My openness-heart. ```

2491

```

As it is true that I have spent

Most of my life

Away from my Lord,

It is equally true that I shall spend

The rest of my life

At my Lord’s

Compassion-Forgiveness-Feet.

```

2492

```

Alas, I have increased my earthly ties

To make me happy,

And my Lord has decreased

His Heavenly Smiles

To make Him happy.

```

2493

```

I have come to realise

That my mind’s false gladness

And my heart’s true sadness

Are not far apart. ```

2494

```

My doubting mind,

Why do you torment me

When I sing my Lord’s high praises,

Why? ```

2495

```

“My Lord,

What do You think of my two resolves:

I want to love You sleeplessly;

I want to serve You breathlessly.”

My Lord smiles and smiles

And smiles. ```

2496

```

My Lord,

I have only one desire,

And that desire

Is to be in Your blessingful Presence

Once a day.

Since it is a good desire,

May I not expect a positive response?

```

2497

```

My Lord repeatedly asks me

Not to subscribe to the view

That something will definitely happen

Because it is so destined. ```

2498

```

Because of my unaspiring mind,

My life and I were doomed

To suffer.

```

2499

```

Because of my aspiring heart,

My life and I are destined

To prosper.

```

2500

```

When I do not aspire,

Time chases me ruthlessly.

When I aspire,

The same time surrenders to me

Smilingly.

```

2501

```

God loves me,

But He loves my child-heart-smile

Infinitely more.

```

2502

```

Divine love

Eventually becomes

Illumination-perfection.

```

2503

```

If you really love God,

Then you cannot remain a stranger

To God-manifestation.

```

2504

```

In the beginning,

We think that God-realisation

Is impossible.

But after some time,

We feel that God-realisation

Is inevitable. ```

2505

```

I asked God

The actual meaning of devotion.

His immediate reply was

“Life-breath.” ```

2506

```

God wants a personal answer

From us.

He does not believe in

Answering machines. ```

2507

```

An obedience-mind

And a gratitude-heart

Epitomise and immortalise

Our God-necessity-life. ```

2508

```

I studied at belief and faith-school.

Therefore, it is extremely easy for me

To welcome God the Compassion.

```

2509

```

Alas,

My heart has been crying and crying

And crying

Through the darkness of my mind. ```

2510

```

If we are able

To love God inwardly,

Then we shall be able

To manifest God outwardly

Also.

```

2511

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Knows no foreigner

And has no stranger.

```

2512

```

God never forces us

To do anything.

He only waits and waits and waits

Until we wake up. ```

2513

```

If you do not take exercise

To develop your oneness-muscle,

Who can and who will do it for you?

```

2514

```

We must offer our Heaven-born

Oneness-heart

Here, there and all-where.

```

2515

```

I have no idea

When satisfaction will dawn.

But I do know that someday,

Somehow,

It will dawn on earth.

```

2516

```

You can easily ignore

All doubt-suspicion-

Phone calls.

```

2517

```

When I go to God

To make an appointment,

He says to me:

“My child, you do not need

An appointment.

Just come and talk to Me

And unburden all your problems.”

```

2518

```

A wisdom-flooded heart

Does not mind waiting

For satisfaction to dawn.

```

2519

```

O seeker,

Open the door and see who is knocking.

“I am the doubt-marcher.”

“I am the faith-singer.”

Command the doubt-marcher:

“Off with you!”

Embrace the faith-singer

And invite him to come in. ```

2520

```

My heart-home has two names:

God’s Tears

And God’s Smiles.

```

2521

```

We must offer God

Our most significant

And our most insignificant moments

Happily. ```

2522

```

We are supposed to work only

And not judge the value

Of our work.

```

2523

```

Every atom

Embodies the smiles and tears

Of the whole world.

```

2524

```

The human question is:

“My Lord, do You really love me?”

The divine Answer is:

“You are the only one whom I love.” ```

2525

```

I really do not know

How long I shall have to remain

A perfect slave to my earthly tears.

```

2526

```

It is quite common

For the unaspiring mind to reject

All the invitations that it receives

From God. ```

2527

```

On the whole,

Humanity’s suspicion-mind

Roams in the abysmal abyss.

```

2528

```

If I have to make a choice

Between my heart-cottage

And my mind-mansion,

I shall immediately choose

My heart-cottage.

```

2529

```

God’s Heart does not measure

Anything.

It only treasures

Everything. ```

2530

```

On a regular basis,

My Lord consoles, feeds and strengthens

My orphan-hope.

```

2531

```

I asked God

If I should stay at His Door,

Like a dog,

Or if I should sit beside His Throne,

Like a prince.

He said to me:

“If you claim Me to be your own,

Then you must sit beside Me.” ```

2532

```

O Time,

The great devourer,

Do come and devour

My heart-sorrows. ```

2533

```

I never allow my heart

To remain in the prison-cell

Of expectation.

```

2534

```

I have been trying and trying

To replace my desire-mind

With my aspiration-heart.

I do not know why I am not succeeding. ```

2535

```

My heart expects,

My mind demands

And my soul surrenders —

Surrenders to God’s Will. ```

2536

```

In my Lord’s

Compassion-Heart-Garden,

I enjoy tomorrow’s

Perfect freedom. ```

2537

```

Every day

I wish to fly in the sky

Of my imagination-beauty-heart.

```

2538

```

Always be careful!

Doubt can at any moment

Lord it over you.

```

2539

```

My acceptance of the spiritual life

Is not a whim,

But a supreme necessity.

```

2540

```

My Lord Supreme Himself

Has paved

My heart-walkway.

```

2541

```

Every day

I must use my will-power

To keep my mind and vital

Under full control. ```

2542

```

I am desperately trying

To regain my heart’s

Simplicity-sincerity-purity-touch.

```

2543

```

The mind wants to free us

With its counterfeit wisdom.

The heart wants to free us

With its snow-white love. ```

2544

```

I want to have a sleepless

Thought-evolution-life,

And not an endless

Thought-revolution-mind. ```

2545

```

We are mistaken

If we think that certain human beings

Have a monopoly

On God’s Compassion-Affection. ```

2546

```

God’s most favourite

Food:

Man’s gratitude-heart-smile.

```

2547

```

O my Lord,

Do come and bring me out of

My heart’s insecurity-cave.

```

2548

```

We never realise

That desire-disasters

Can be so imminent.

```

2549

```

I seek Grace

In every step I take

To see the Face

Of my Beloved Supreme. ```

2550

```

O seeker,

If you really dislike

Your doubting mind,

Then why do you give

Your doubting mind

Your company? ```

2551

```

You are a failure

Because you are not turning

In the direction

Of the all-illumining Light. ```

2552

```

How can I express any concern

For humanity

Before I show my sleepless concern

For God? ```

2553

```

If you do not resist

Your own divinity,

Then your life is bound

To have a smooth sailing. ```

2554

```

If you are a sincere seeker,

Sooner or later

You are bound to get

A sincere Master. ```

2555

```

A real God-lover

Does not find it difficult at all

To cling to his Master’s feet.

But to abandon his Master’s feet

Is, indeed, an impossible task for him.

```

2556

```

Even when your inner poise

Is shattered,

Do not give up!

At God’s choice Hour

God will definitely come

To your rescue. ```

2557

```

If you want to remain happy always,

Then do not tell the world

What you want,

Or even what you need. ```

2558

```

If you feel you are coming

To your Master on equal terms,

Then you have not found a real Master

Or your Master has not found

A real student.

```

2559

```

If you beg a Master to lift you up,

Be careful!

If he is a false Master,

He may drag you down.

Have faith in yourself first,

And also have faith in your Master. ```

2560

```

A spiritual Master is he

Who scatters confidence-light

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the sinking world. ```

2561

```

In Heaven God always smiles.

It is the bounden task

Of the spiritual Masters

To make God smile on earth. ```

2562

```

A spiritual Master

Says to his spiritual children:

“I have changed my name for you.

My name has become

Compassion-height.

Now I want to change your name

For humanity.

Your new name will be tolerance-light.” ```

2563

```

We must never hide

From good people,

For their very nature

Is to help us

And not chide us.

```

2564

```

If we love God wholeheartedly,

Then His invisible Forces

Will prove to us

That they can be visible as well. ```

2565

```

The more I can give myself

To my inner life,

The more I can expect

From my outer life. ```

2566

```

If God the inner Voice

Is your only choice,

Then God will bless you

With His outer Voice

As well.

```

2567

```

God asks me to uncover myself

First,

Before I try to discover myself.

```

2568

```

The unaspiring mind

Enjoys

Bewilderment-thunder.

```

2569

```

The aspiring heart

Loves

Enlightenment-flute.

```

2570

```

To show a confidence-smile

Without first establishing your oneness

With God’s Will

Is empty bravado. ```

2571

```

How do I prove

That I do not desire desires anymore?

Just by accompanying aspiration

Wherever it goes. ```

2572

```

If you do not conceal or protect

Your insincerity-life,

Then God Himself will come

And embrace your sincerity-heart. ```

2573

```

If you desperately need God’s Help,

Then wait for His Help

Before you take it upon yourself

To solve your problem.

If you do not wait for God’s Help,

He may not value your future requests. ```

2574

```

If you all the time pretend

To love the world,

You may never get the chance

To love the world sincerely. ```

2575

```

Try to prove

To your outer life

That you are not

An insincerity-mind.

God’s Compassion-Eye

Will definitely support you. ```

2576

```

Until we have developed the capacity

To proclaim victory over ourselves,

It is sheer stupidity

To declare victory over others. ```

2577

```

God tells the seeker

That His Task is to invent

And the seeker’s task is to discover.

Therefore, the seeker must not

Reverse the game.

```

2578

```

If you have an inner

Profundity-heart,

Then you cannot have an outer

Futility-life. ```

2579

```

Do not ask truth to understand you.

Truth has already understood you.

It is you who are unwilling

To understand the truth

The way it is supposed to be understood.

```

2580

```

I give my Lord what I have:

My obedience-heart.

My Lord gives me what He is:

His Pride-Breath. ```

2581

```

The human mind

Loves

Even distant thunder.

```

2582

```

The divine heart

Loves

Only instant silence.

```

2583

```

His vital is afraid of saints.

His mind is afraid of sinners.

God tells him:

“My child,

Do not be afraid of either.

Both saints and sinners

Are My own creations.”

```

2584

```

We come to a spiritual Master

For him to take care of us.

Alas, very soon we feel

That we can deal with our own lives better.

But we do not forget to keep him

As a figurehead. ```

2585

```

The divine in us says “Hello!”

Even to the undivine

Around us.

```

2586

```

The undivine in us

Has only two words in its dictionary

For the divine:

“Good-bye!” and “Begone!” ```

2587

```

The mind’s separation-worlds

Exist

Because we do not persist

In bringing to the fore

Our unification-hearts.

```

2588

```

“I do not believe in ignorance-night!”

Just repeat this mantra

Day in and day out.

Soon there shall come a time

When the pride

Of Himalayan ignorance-night

Will force it to leave you.

```

2589

```

The Inner Pilot is eagerly waiting

To whisper something to you.

Just give Him a chance

Only once. ```

2590

```

The higher life says

To the lower life:

“Please follow me.

I want both of us to come

To our Lord Supreme

To make Him supremely happy.” ```

2591

```

The lower life says

To the higher life:

“Either follow me blindly

Wherever I go,

Or I shall chase you

To your destruction-doom!” ```

2592

```

Even to feel

That you can one day become

A good God-seeker

Is, indeed, a most remarkable start. ```

2593

```

Modern doctors

Are

Experiment-lovers.

```

2594

```

Ancient doctors

Were

Experience-dreamers.

```

2595

```

Success and progress can go together

Provided success sincerely longs for

Progress,

And progress sincerely admires

Success.

```

2596

```

You want to lead?

Easy!

Just read the self-discovery-book

First. ```

2597

```

We think that we can change the world.

God tells us:

“My children, certainly you can.

But do Me a favour first.

Just love the world unreservedly.”

```

2598

```

I am so surprised to see

That my soul does not believe in

My mind’s interpretation of truth.

```

2599

```

I am simply astonished

That my Lord does not believe in

My imperfection

At all. ```

2600

```

My ability to hear God,

My ability to follow God,

My ability to surrender to God

And my ability to become one with God

Are definitely my birthrights.

```

2601

```

My hopeful heart

Secretly

Beckons me.

```

2602

```

My hopeless mind

Openly

Marshals me.

```

2603

```

You may succeed in deceiving

The minds of the world-citizens,

But you will never be able to deceive

The God-oneness-child

Of your own heart.

```

2604

```

Damaging thoughts

Think they can destroy the world

If they want to.

God says to them:

“Is that so?

Just try and prove it!” ```

2605

```

Aspiring thoughts

Feel they can at least

Try to unburden the world.

God says to them:

“My children, amen!”

```

2606

```

You have become

Your life’s streaming tears

Because you have neglected

Your God-dreaming heart. ```

2607

```

We try to judge

Right and wrong,

Good and evil.

God tells us:

“My children,

Why bother?

I have plenty of time

To do My own Work.” ```

2608

```

What does a wrong thought do?

It darkens our mind

And imprisons our life

Immediately. ```

2609

```

What does a right thought do?

It inspires our heart

And liberates our life

Unmistakably. ```

2610

```

If your life is touched

By Divinity’s Compassion-Eye,

Then your life will remain untouched

By humanity’s frustration-vital. ```

2611

```

Surrender, God will embrace you.

Surrender, God will need you.

Surrender, God will claim you

As His own.

Surrender, God will fulfil

All His infinite Dreams

In and through you.

```

2612

```

Sometimes I wonder

When I say that I need God’s Help,

Do I really mean it,

Or would I even welcome it? ```

2613

```

If you want to create

A new Divinity for the world

By dint of your personal will,

You are definitely going to be

The most deplorable failure.

```

2614

```

If you want to reveal yourself

Again and again as a new Divinity

By obeying God’s Will,

You are bound to succeed. ```

2615

```

The doubting mind says:

“Not only are human beings

My problem,

But God is also.

Perhaps He is my problem

Number one!” ```

2616

```

The aspiring heart says:

“O world, because I have accepted

All your problems as my own,

God is so kind to me, proud of me

And fond of me.

Therefore, O world, my heart is

All gratitude to you.”

```

2617

```

Imaginary happiness tells me

That there shall come a time

When I shall unmistakably become

Real happiness

In all its beauty and splendour.

```

2618

```

Real happiness tells me

The secret of secrets:

God the infinite Happiness

Is constantly knocking

At my heart’s door.

I just have to open it. ```

2619

```

My mind is sad

That it cannot possess

The world.

```

2620

```

My heart is extremely sad

That it has not yet allowed God

To be its sole possessor.

```

2621

```

Can you imagine!

Even fear thrills me

When I am about to open

God’s Heart-Door. ```

2622

```

God has only two Commands for me:

He commands my soul to come down

To spread

His two Delight-flooded Wings

All over the world.

He commands my heart to climb up

High, higher, highest,

As fast as possible,

To feed His own Heart.

```

2623

```

Concentrate.

Nothing will remain

Unattainable.

```

2624

```

Meditate.

Nothing will remain

Unimaginable.

```

2625

```

Self-enlightenment

Purposely remains

A perfect stranger

To self-aggrandisement. ```

2626

```

Human self-aggrandisement

Is an instant

Balloon-burst.

```

2627

```

Divine contentment

Is a God-prepared

Feast.

```

2628

```

When I declare that my way

Is the only way,

God pleads with me

To see if His Way

Is a little better.

```

2629

```

The darkest night

Wants to convince the world

That it is the brightest light.

```

2630

```

The brightest light

Enjoys a vow of silence,

And in silence reveals

Its God-bestowed

World-transformation-promise.

```

2631

```

The doubting mind has played

Its role:

It has veiled the Truth.

The aspiring heart is now

About to play its role:

It shall unveil the Truth. ```

2632

```

Anxiety gets frightened

And leaves the mind

When you one-pointedly try to discover

Who you really are. ```

2633

```

I depend heavily on my friends

Who thrust courage upon me

For God-manifestation here on earth.

```

2634

```

You think that you know

Everything about everything.

But a day shall dawn

When you will realise

That you know nothing about anything.

```

2635

```

Your mind-jungle remains dangerous

Just because you do not dare

To come out and run

Into your heart-garden. ```

2636

```

Poor God does not know

What to say or what to do

When we unnecessarily blame others

For our own misdeeds.

He is totally lost

Between our ignorance

And their innocence.

```

2637

```

My mind and I have decided

To explore the world

Outside us.

```

2638

```

My heart and I are resolved

To discover the Real

Within us.

```

2639

```

The divine in us invites

The human and the animal in us

To come to it

For their transformation.

The human in us says:

“I do not trust you.”

The animal in us says:

“I am perfectly all right.

My big brother,

What you should worry about

Is your own satisfaction.”

```

2640

```

Real delight comes into existence

Only when the human in us

Gladly and unreservedly wants to play

With the divine in us. ```

2641

```

The human in us

Cannot become divine

If the soul loses its sovereignty.

```

2642

```

It seems that the more I give

Freedom to my mind,

The quicker I imprison

My spiritual life. ```

2643

```

My God-disobedience-mind

Tells me that I do not need

The spiritual life.

```

2644

```

My God-obedience-heart

Tells me that the spiritual life and I

Need each other at every moment.

```

2645

```

The mind-train usually travels downhill

And arrives at

A nowhere-station.

```

2646

```

In the inner world,

Happiness-runners are by far

The fastest runners.

```

2647

```

The more I love

The beauty of the inner world,

The less I need

The wealth of the outer world. ```

2648

```

“Love me, my Lord! Love me

At every moment!”

This is how I begin my prayer,

And this is how I end my prayer. ```

2649

```

If you have not studied the first lesson,

How will you succeed in learning

The last lesson?

The first lesson is

Your sleepless love of God.

The last lesson is

Your unconditional surrender

To God’s Will. ```

2650

```

Cry, cry,

At every moment cry

For God’s Compassion

And God’s Satisfaction.

Otherwise, your life-vessel

Will always remain empty. ```

2651

```

O seeker, since you have not

Cried for God,

How do you expect to be able

To smile at God? ```

2652

```

My fearless vital

Is not challenging the ignorance

Of the outer world,

But is only attacking

Day in and day out

My poor aspiration-heart. ```

2653

```

Negative thoughts are so powerful

That they can easily turn back

Our heart’s aspiration-clock.

```

2654

```

To reach the Goal,

You must here and now

Start celebrating

The divinity of the Goal. ```

2655

```

My gratitude-heart

Keeps my dedication-life

Active and dynamic.

```

2656

```

The obedience of the mind

And the enthusiasm of the vital

Are two inseparable,

God-cherished friends. ```

2657

```

Although the body, vital and mind

Work together,

They want to maintain

Their individuality.

But when the heart and soul

Work together,

The heart simply swims and swims

In the sea of the soul’s light and delight. ```

2658

```

Disobedience-pleasure

Is always

Unimaginably shallow.

```

2659

```

Insecurity does not have

The capacity

To walk happily

Around the life-track. ```

2660

```

Every day I take

A morning walk

With my faithful heart-dog:

Obedience. ```

2661

```

A day of unconditional obedience

Is the most perfect day

To sow peace

Inside our heart-garden. ```

2662

```

How I wish my mind

Would commit to the prayer-life

The way my heart

Has committed to the meditation-life! ```

2663

```

I feast on the beauty

And fragrance

Of my soul’s peace-song.

```

2664

```

My heart’s aspiration-strides

And my life’s dedication-strides

Are extremely exhilarating.

```

2665

```

We need aspiration-flames

That cannot be touched

By wild emotions

In order to run the fastest

In our spiritual life.

```

2666

```

When there is any dramatic battle

Between darkness and Light,

Darkness may win in the beginning,

But the ultimate victory

Goes to Light.

```

2667

```

You are unwilling to leave

Your Master’s protection-feet.

Indeed, this is an achievement

Of achievements. ```

2668

```

The Master unfolds his Divinity

According to the disciple’s

Readiness, willingness

And eagerness-life. ```

2669

```

Why do you search

For an ideal hero?

Is not your faith in God

By far the best

Of all heroes?

```

2670

```

Pray and meditate,

Meditate and pray

For as many hours as you can

Every day.

If not, you will be doomed

To a life of self-oblivion. ```

2671

```

The loveliness of your face

Comes from the God-nearness

Of your heart.

```

2672

```

God tells me

That my heart-tears

Are purer than purity itself.

```

2673

```

When I have to make a choice

Between a blameless life

And a fearless heart,

I will always choose a fearless heart. ```

2674

```

O my heart, if you are willing

To manifest your soul’s smile,

Then start doing it —

Immediately and dynamically! ```

2675

```

We have to entirely depend on

Our eagerness,

And not our restlessness,

For the Vision of God. ```

2676

```

O seeker,

When your Master’s words

Pierce your heart,

You are fully accepted

By your Master.

```

2677

```

Every morning God comes in

And rings my faith-bell

To awaken my heart.

```

2678

```

The clearer I see

The beauty of my soul,

The easier it becomes for me

To manifest my Lord’s Light

On earth.

```

2679

```

My soul tells me

That while I am indulging

In ignorance-sleep,

It will keep intact

My heart’s great yearning

To reach God’s

Transcendental Heights.

```

2680

```

I ask God to end

His Silence-Vow.

God tells me to plough

My heart-garden first,

And then He will listen

To my prayer. ```

2681

```

My Lord, You know how I love

Your Sweetness-Whisperings.

How is it that You forget me

So often? ```

2682

```

Alas, will my striving

To conquer all my doubts

Ever end?

When will success-sun

Dawn on me?

```

2683

```

O my mind, if you do not pass

Your sincerity-test,

Then God will never trust you

In the spiritual life. ```

2684

```

My heart, your long absence

From the meditation-life

Is destroying all my love for God.

```

2685

```

I keep my mind under control.

Therefore, I do not allow

Wild desire-wind

To blow through it. ```

2686

```

We can never buy spirituality

With our material wealth.

We can only acquire spirituality

With our inner wealth:

Love, faith and obedience.

```

2687

```

Once and for all,

My mind and I

Have stopped crossing

The doubt-strait. ```

2688

```

Satisfaction comes to me

Automatically

When I listen devotedly

To my obedience-heartbeat. ```

2689

```

May the river of my hope-dreams

Carry me every day

Towards the ever-increasing beauty

Of the Golden Shore. ```

2690

```

O my insecurity-heart,

Can you not do anything better

Than cry, weep, moan

And sigh?

I am sure you can!

```

2691

```

When I asked my soul

If I should start taming my mind,

I received from my soul

And my soul’s friends

Roars of approval.

```

2692

```

If I allow my doubting mind

And my strangling vital

To remain as they are,

Then I know I am foolishly risking

My soul’s disfavour.

```

2693

```

Your mind is ignorant,

Your heart is wise.

Therefore, God teaches only your heart

How to read His Handwriting. ```

2694

```

God sings and dances

Right in front of me

When I study

The self-improvement books

Written by Him.

```

2695

```

I do not trust my mind;

I do not trust even my heart.

I trust only my soul.

Therefore, I beg my soul

To coordinate my day.

```

2696

```

My gratitude-heart-bird

Has two

God-happiness-wings.

```

2697

```

Learn by heart

Your life-surrender-prayers.

God will lift you up immediately

To His own Transcendental Heights. ```

2698

```

God secretly tells

His unconditionally surrendered seekers

How to spread His Manifestation-Light

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world.

```

2699

```

If you are ready to cry at God’s Feet,

Then God will be ready to bring you

Inside His Heart

To smile. ```

2700

```

Time hangs heavily

Only on those who have not learnt

How to use it properly.

```

2701

```

My Lord Supreme,

My ever-blossoming surrender-life

Bows to Your birthless Cry

And deathless Smile. ```

2702

```

My Lord Supreme,

My ever-increasing gratitude-heart

Bows to Your birthless Silence

And deathless Sound. ```

2703

```

If one has a devotion-heart,

Then an iota of God’s Compassion

Can create a miracle.

```

2704

```

To become a choice instrument

Of God,

I must become an expert

In the love-devotion-surrender-game. ```

2705

```

The third-class disciples

Receive a special message

From their Master:

“God is in Heaven.

I am His sole representative on earth

For you.” ```

2706

```

The second-class disciples

Receive a very special message

From their Master:

“God and I are eternally

And absolutely one.”

```

2707

```

The first-class disciples

Receive a very, very special message

From their Master:

“I am the Way; I am the Goal.” ```

2708

```

God’s Heart-Door

Is always wide open

For our humility-life

To enter. ```

2709

```

Intensity is the secret of secrets

To expedite the seeker’s journey

Towards his destined Goal.

```

2710

```

Oneness with humanity,

Minus God,

Is, indeed, a most miserable

Frustration. ```

2711

```

I am God’s; God is mine:

This feeling comes

From our lofty awareness

Of God’s Transcendental Will. ```

2712

```

Sweetness

Is the outer name

Of a gratitude-heart.

```

2713

```

Fulness

Is the inner name

Of a surrender-breath.

```

2714

```

Let us cultivate faith

More and more

In our everyday life,

So that God can illumine

Our jungle-minds.

```

2715

```

My heart’s determination

Will forever remain

Far beyond the boundaries

Of joy-devouring frustrations. ```

2716

```

The heart’s aspiration

And the life’s dedication

Do have the capacity

To please God in His own Way. ```

2717

```

I love to love my little “i”.

But then what happens?

Lo, I am millions and billions of miles

Away from God. ```

2718

```

I love to love my big “I”.

And then what happens?

Lo, my Lord Supreme

Embraces me. ```

2719

```

You will never miss

The God-track

If your heart is flooded

With devotion. ```

2720

```

Once aspiration disappears,

We become

Veritable beggars

In the inner world. ```

2721

```

Without devotion,

You can never succeed

In touching God’s Feet

Or in clasping God’s Eye. ```

2722

```

When we live in our mind,

We haughtily expect God to surrender

To our commands and demands.

```

2723

```

When we live in our heart,

We cherish only one code of life:

We are of God and we are for God

Only. ```

2724

```

My Master asks me:

“Where is your past?”

Master, I do not know.

“How can you know, my child?

I have cast it aside.”

```

2725

```

My Master asks me:

“What is your present doing?”

Master, to be honest,

I really do not know.

“My child, how can you know?

I keep it inside my heart.” ```

2726

```

My Master asks me:

“Where is your future?”

Master, how can I say

Where my future is?

“My child, that is not your problem.

Leave it to me.

Happily I shall deal with it.”

```

2727

```

It is a real insult

That we hurl upon our soul

When we worry about our future

While sailing in our Master’s

Golden Boat.

```

2728

```

Become a God-devotion-heart.

Yours is the life

That will grow into

The fastest progress-delight. ```

2729

```

When I am with my devotion-heart

At God’s Feet,

The sweetness and fulness

Of the universe

Immediately embrace me.

```

2730

```

My prayer-life and my meditation-heart

Have taken full responsibility

For placing me permanently

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme. ```

2731

```

God asks the Master

To exercise his full Divinity

Only in the lives of those

Who believe in him implicitly. ```

2732

```

Self-doubt and God-doubt

Are the most deplorable results

Of God-disobedience-thoughts.

```

2733

```

God tells the Master

That he has to perform

Miracle after miracle in the inner world

Secretly

To keep the world-aspiration

In perfect order. ```

2734

```

Alas, how often I see my Lord Supreme

Touching not just my heart,

But even my feet,

To make me do the right thing

And become the right person.

```

2735

```

The devotee who inspires

Other devotees

Becomes infinitely more devoted —

An immediate reward from God Himself. ```

2736

```

I hear the sweetness-whispers

Of the New Millennium

Inside my Heaven-climbing heart.

```

2737

```

My Lord, do give me the capacity

Every day

To renew my promise

To accept You and fulfil You

In Your own Way.

```

2738

```

Spirituality is never a matter

Of mind-understanding,

But it is ever a matter

Of heart-feeling. ```

2739

```

O world-mind, I beg of you,

Do keep inside your mind-cave

Your God-criticism-poison!

Do not spread it

Inside my heart-garden.

```

2740

```

God’s chidings

Are only for those devotees

Who beg God to help them

Make the fastest progress. ```

2741

```

My God-commitment

Is the only commitment

That I must embody, reveal

And manifest. ```

2742

```

Golden opportunities

Are God’s unconditional Gifts

To mankind

For mankind’s immediate outer success

And immediate inner progress.

```

2743

```

Spirituality has always been

A one-way ride.

There is no round-trip ticket.

```

2744

```

Sincerity must always be fed

By faith —

Faith in our God-hunger,

Faith in our God-banquet. ```

2745

```

At the dawn of each day,

Let us make our hopes

And promises

As sincere and powerful

As possible.

```

2746

```

We must not misunderstand

The role of discipline.

Discipline is not torture.

It is our most reliable

Safeguard.

```

2747

```

Discipline at once illumines

The unlit in us

And fulfils the unfulfilled in us.

```

2748

```

Every day you must repeat,

Prayerfully and soulfully,

One thing:

“There is no such thing

As insignificant disobedience.”

```

2749

```

Each aspiration-song

Of our heart

Embodies fragrance exquisite.

```

2750

```

The Master tells us,

And we must believe him,

That he is nothing but a mouthpiece

For the Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

2751

```

If you have

A beautiful hope,

Make it sleepless.

```

2752

```

If you have

A powerful promise,

Make it breathless.

```

2753

```

God inundates our life

With opportunities.

Either we do not value them,

Or we are afraid of their enormity. ```

2754

```

Often we take God’s blessingful Requests

Very lightly.

Therefore, our spiritual life

Has become most painful

And difficult.

```

2755

```

To become a perfect instrument

Of my Lord Supreme,

I must harmonise my outer dedication

And inner aspiration. ```

2756

```

We suffer from excruciating pangs

Because harmony is nowhere

To be found —

Either in our inner life

Or in our outer life.

```

2757

```

When we become spiritually weak,

Our very first love-step

Is extremely difficult.

```

2758

```

If I love my Master

Sincerely and self-givingly,

Then my obedience-life

Is bound to follow him. ```

2759

```

My God-obedience-eagerness

Is my Lord’s

Fulness-Heart-Smile.

```

2760

```

When the love-devotion-surrender trinity

Was ignored by us,

God was forced to add a new step,

Easier than the easiest —

Obedience.

```

2761

```

If we lovingly and self-givingly

Place our foot

On the God-obedience-rung,

We will be able to confidently

And easily climb up

The love-devotion-surrender-steps

To reach the highest Height.

```

2762

```

The mind is unable to enjoy purity

Because undivine thoughts

Every day

Supply the mind with impurity-food. ```

2763

```

When we establish our oneness

With God the Power

Before we have established our oneness

With God the Love,

God tells us, “My children,

I am afraid you are going to misuse Me.” ```

2764

```

Once you establish your oneness

With God’s Compassion-Eye,

God tells you that yours will be

The power infinite

To conquer the pride of ignorance-night.

```

2765

```

I am happy

Because I have offered my love

To the Compassion-Heart

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

2766

```

I am perfect

Because I have offered

My love-devotion-surrender-life

To the Forgiveness-Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

2767

```

A surrender-heart is the only thing

We are supposed to offer

To the Highest in us

For the transformation

Of the lowest in us.

```

2768

```

An impurity-thought-mind-train

Is creating countless problems

For each and every human being.

```

2769

```

A morality-bound sincerity

Is not enough.

A spirituality-bound sincerity

Placed at the Feet of God

Is what we need

To satisfy God in His own Way. ```

2770

```

The Absolute Supreme

Is always eager to nullify

All our misdeeds,

But alas,

We are still not awakened enough

To call upon Him. ```

2771

```

You will be not only safe,

But also fulfilled completely

If you allow God to take care of

Your constant obedience. ```

2772

```

We must become our own

Unalloyed devotion-heart

To please our Lord’s

Compassion-Forgiveness-Feet. ```

2773

```

When we offer our sincerity-mind

And purity-heart to God,

He proudly gives us two rewards:

His Sweetness-Smile

And His Fulness-Heart.

```

2774

```

Spirituality is infinitely higher

Than so-called morality.

God’s highest Divinity works

Only in and through spirituality. ```

2775

```

I give my Lord Supreme what I have:

My simplicity-life.

My Lord Supreme gives me what He is:

His Infinity’s Heart. ```

2776

```

We can become

Choice instruments of God

Only by

Thinking of Him alone,

Loving Him alone,

Devoting ourselves to Him alone

And surrendering our very existence

To Him alone,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly.

```

2777

```

Earthly power

Consciously embodies

Separativity-supremacy.

```

2778

```

Heavenly Power

Smilingly embodies

Oneness-fulness.

```

2779

```

First we must touch the Feet

Of God the Creator

Before we can become the Heart

Of God the creation. ```

2780

```

Spirituality is not

A compulsory course.

It is the blossoming

Of an inner urge. ```

2781

```

No mind-made force

Can ever equal

A heart-born power.

```

2782

```

You must study at your heart-school,

And nowhere else,

If you want to become

A universal being. ```

2783

```

In life, there is always a challenge

When we want to do something great.

The challenges become

Infinitely more difficult

When we want to do something good.

```

2784

```

My mind’s readiness and willingness

I need

To prove my greatness.

```

2785

```

My heart’s eagerness and self-givingness

I need

To prove my goodness.

```

2786

```

Invoke the poise of your soul

To quiet

Your restless vital-horse-life.

```

2787

```

When luminosity enters,

The restless vital becomes dynamic

To fulfil God in His own Way.

```

2788

```

Outer success can have

A very special meaning

If inner progress

Starts blossoming first. ```

2789

```

Just repeat again and again:

“I am the soul, I am the soul.”

You will definitely be able

To unburden yourself

Of anything standing in your way.

```

2790

```

It is the Immortality of the soul

That has and is the power

To lift the burdens of humanity.

```

2791

```

The insecurity of the heart

Makes us helpless.

The impurity of the mind

Makes us useless. ```

2792

```

The mind wants

To teach the world

Endlessly.

```

2793

```

The heart wants to study

At God’s Heart-School

Eternally.

```

2794

```

Name and fame can turn us insane

Long before we are fully awakened

From ignorance-sleep.

```

2795

```

God wants me and my aspiration-heart

To arrive at His Satisfaction-Zenith

As soon as possible.

```

2796

```

For me, an iota of peace

In my mind

Is of supreme importance,

And not a plethora

Of earthly achievements.

```

2797

```

When I use my heart-eye,

I clearly see

That my today’s destination

Is my tomorrow’s starting point. ```

2798

```

Everything in the outer life

Eventually fails,

Because the outer life does not have

An abiding inner hunger. ```

2799

```

World-peace entirely depends

On our inner hunger

And outer service.

```

2800

```

To solve any problem in life,

Do not just arrest it,

But illumine it —

Immediately! ```

2801

```

Your own earth-knowledge

Will one day oppose

Your forward march,

your upward flight

And your inward dive.

```

2802

```

Everybody else will be able to rise

To the heights of God-satisfaction,

But not a man of pride.

```

2803

```

Your goodness-heart

Will bring sweetness-dreams

When sleep descends on you.

```

2804

```

Your self-giving heart

Will be able to perform

A transformation-miracle

In your life. ```

2805

```

A new light from within

Is embracing and illumining

His confusion-mind.

```

2806

```

Abandon,

Abandon as soon as possible

Your jungle-mind

And attachment-life. ```

2807

```

A spiritual Master quite often

Cries pitifully and helplessly

In the land of the deaf.

```

2808

```

My devotion-heart every day

Decorates the Feet of my Lord

With lotus petals.

```

2809

```

Do not ever allow your enthusiasm

To burn down

If you want to make continuous progress

In your spiritual life. ```

2810

```

If you do not aspire,

Then your spiritual death-door

Will revolve open

Right before your inner eye. ```

2811

```

Always remain on your guard.

Do not allow yourself to be exiled

To oblivion’s cave.

```

2812

```

Quick, march within!

Your Lord Supreme will proudly come

And embrace you.

```

2813

```

Alas, I am suffering and suffering!

Is there no soul to soothe

My God-forgotten heart?

```

2814

```

Off with you,

O my unsatisfied and dissatisfied

Vital and mind!

```

2815

```

Every day my heart and I

Stand united against ignorance-enemy

To conquer it once and for all.

```

2816

```

The sole purpose of my life

Is to find God,

For Him to bind my heart

And blind my mind. ```

2817

```

Our life is

Divinely meaningful

Only when we soulfully pray.

```

2818

```

Our heart is

Supremely fruitful

Only when we self-givingly meditate.

```

2819

```

Physical suffering

Is not

A God-lover.

```

2820

```

Physical suffering

A ruthless invader.

```

2821

```

Our mind can get astounding answers

To its questions

If it is ready to surrender

To a new light. ```

2822

```

There are infinitely better things to do

Than surrender

To our lethargy-indulgence.

```

2823

```

Our life’s age-old road must surrender

To the new road

That is sweetly beckoning us.

```

2824

```

If you are sincerely aware

Of your emptiness-life,

Then God’s Fulness-life

Will speed towards you. ```

2825

```

If we are divinely lovable,

Only then are we teachable

By God Himself.

```

2826

```

God feels sad when I ask Him

How long the distance is

To the Destination.

He says:

“See not the destination-distance,

But be the destination-satisfaction.” ```

2827

```

Sleeplessly think

Of what you can do for God,

And never for a fleeting second

Think of those

Who stand against

Your Godward journey. ```

2828

```

“My way is the right way!”

So does the mind

Broadcast.

```

2829

```

“God’s Way is the only way!”

So does the heart

Whisper.

```

2830

```

God may one day come to me:

This was my old way

Of thinking.

```

2831

```

God has already come:

This is my new way

Of feeling.

```

2832

```

God will claim you

Only when you do not try to escape,

But brave the confusion-world.

```

2833

```

Not by challenging and not by fighting,

But by loving the world,

We raise not only our individual standard

But the human standard as well. ```

2834

```

God will ask you

To write the preface to His Autobiography

If you can dwell far above

Your surface mind

And sleeplessly sing the song

Of self-transcendence. ```

2835

```

You will never be able

To love the world

With your understanding mind.

```

2836

```

The clearness of the mind

Is, indeed,

The nearness of God.

```

2837

```

The desire to proclaim your outer victory

Has extinguished

All your aspiration-heart-flames.

```

2838

```

You want to possess the world;

The world wants to possess you.

But you do not see

That both you and the world

Are already possessed

By God’s Universal Oneness-Heart. ```

2839

```

The mind wants God’s Help

But when God’s Help arrives,

The mind does not welcome it.

```

2840

```

To know who you truly are,

You must first claim God

To be your own, very own.

```

2841

```

My God-worshipping days

Are coming back once more.

Therefore, I am swimming

In the sea of ecstasy. ```

2842

```

I came into the world

For God the Lover,

And not for man

The ignorance-dreamer. ```

2843

```

Add everything divine and inspiring

To your aspiration-heart

To fulfil God.

```

2844

```

Subtract everything

Undivine and disheartening

From your division-mind

To please God. ```

2845

```

If you are afraid of your past,

You will not be able to blossom

Beautifully and satisfactorily

In the heart-garden of your present. ```

2846

```

My Lord,

Do bless me with the capacity

To fill my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

With Your Silence-Light.

```

2847

```

God’s express Command:

“You must leave

Your ignorance-rented apartment

Immediately!” ```

2848

```

If you are a real seeker,

You must try to realise

The unity-ocean

In the midst of diversity-waves. ```

2849

```

If you think that by isolating yourself

From the world

You will make fast progress

In your spiritual life,

Then you are only blinding your mind

And misleading your life. ```

2850

```

The chant of the New Millennium:

“The world’s heart-home

Is the Beauty and Fragrance

Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.” ```

2851

```

Alas, we do not know

How we can ever succeed

In escaping

The age-old, false god:

The mind.

```

2852

```

We must long for God

From the very dawn of our life,

If we want to realise Him

And fully manifest Him on earth. ```

2853

```

Every day

God comes to me

With His childhood Friends:

Love and Joy. ```

2854

```

God has been waiting for us

With infinite Patience

For a long time.

At last we are now ready

To accept Him

With our aspiration-heart

And dedication-life.

```

2855

```

I long not for God

The limitless Power,

But for God the sleepless Presence.

```

2856

```

Humanity’s powerful

God-awareness-body

Is religion.

```

2857

```

Humanity’s spirituality

Is the express result

Of God’s Self-Transcendence-Dream.

```

2858

```

The mind-lord

We can never please.

The heart-lord is always

Pleased with us. ```

2859

```

Every day we must write

A newness-mind-song

And sing

A fulness-heart-song. ```

2860

```

In God’s Eye,

Humanity’s tears

And Divinity’s Smiles

Are of equal importance. ```

2861

```

Unless and until you have developed

A heart inundated with compassion,

Do not sit on the seat of judgement.

```

2862

```

In the inner world,

God tells us what to do.

In the outer world,

God teaches us how to do it. ```

2863

```

We are eager

To see God’s beautiful Face.

God is eager

To give us His bountiful Heart. ```

2864

```

Each solitary day

Is a golden opportunity

For us to make a fresh approach

To our Lord Supreme. ```

2865

```

With our desire-hunger,

We try to capture and possess

The world.

With our aspiration-hunger,

We try to create God-hunger

For the whole world. ```

2866

```

At the final end of our journey’s close,

God will ask us to show Him

Only one thing:

Satisfaction. ```

2867

```

The science-lord tells his devotees,

“My children, I shall teach you

How to perform an endless series

Of miracles.” ```

2868

```

The spirituality-lord tells his devotees,

“My children, let us dream

Of a higher dream

And a better creation.” ```

2869

```

If we devote ourselves

To inner exploration,

Then we shall never suffer

From outer dissatisfaction. ```

2870

```

My outer education

Is confusing my God-searching mind.

My inner education

Is feeding my God-hungry heart. ```

2871

```

Your goal is the highest

Self-transcendence-height.

No lesser goal must you accept!

```

2872

```

God-realisation

Is an extremely difficult task.

God-manifestation

Is infinitely more difficult. ```

2873

```

The seeker’s only security

Is the Smile

Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

2874

```

We must shut down

Our mind’s

Animal-confusion-disobedience-zoo.

```

2875

```

The easiest and most effective way

To see God

Is through our soul’s

God-satisfying light. ```

2876

```

What is the source of our mind’s

Inspiration-flood,

If not our heart’s aspiration-sea?

```

2877

```

Meditation

Is my heart-expansion.

My heart-expansion

Is my God-satisfaction.

My God-satisfaction

Is my life-perfection.

My life-perfection

Is the world-progression. ```

2878

```

A simplicity-mind, a purity-heart

And a humility-life

Are of supreme importance

In expediting

Our aspiration-dedication-journey.

```

2879

```

When God’s Name

Resounds inside our heart,

We find peace all around us.

```

2880

```

Although the mind lives

Inside a tiny ego-cage,

The mind acts like a sovereign.

```

2881

```

Futility, even absurdity,

Are the products

Of intellectual discussion.

```

2882

```

The beauty of devotion

And the fragrance of surrender

Are the two God-satisfying messages

Of the heart. ```

2883

```

God had given us shoulders

Long before

Man gave us burdens.

```

2884

```

Each purity-thought

Deepens our love

Of God.

```

2885

```

You do not need God’s invitation.

You do not need God’s permission.

What you need is your own eagerness

To enter into God’s Heart. ```

2886

```

God’s Forgiveness

Is my heart’s only

Peace-shrine.

```

2887

```

To see the Feet of God,

I shall have to offer

My heart’s silence-tears

To God first. ```

2888

```

My Lord, if You really love me,

Then humiliate me

Here, there and everywhere

For my fastest progress. ```

2889

```

If you want to be familiar

With God’s Will,

Then stop cherishing your mind’s

Ignorance-dream. ```

2890

```

God is not interested in counting

My years.

He is interested only in counting

My self-giving moments. ```

2891

```

Confession does not really solve

Our problems,

But an adamantine determination

Can solve all our problems. ```

2892

```

Determination

Can bravely and forcefully change

The deplorable past into real dust.

```

2893

```

Quite often

Outer friendship-boats

Are nothing other than

Inner rivalry-boats. ```

2894

```

Punishment properly used

Is the sure beginning

Of enlightenment.

```

2895

```

Our mind needs every day

The Forgiveness

Of our Lord’s Vastness-Heart-Sky.

```

2896

```

Divinity’s Touch

Is far beyond

Humanity’s imagination.

```

2897

```

The sweeter our heart-cries,

The sooner our Lord Supreme

Will arrive.

```

2898

```

The tears of my heart-sea

Are transformed into

The smiles of my soul-ocean

By a single glance of my Lord Supreme. ```

2899

```

The concern of humanity’s mind

For human oneness

Is, indeed, the biggest joke!

```

2900

```

Each seeker has many bodyguards,

But a one-pointed devotion

To our Lord Supreme

Is by far the best bodyguard. ```

2901

```

My Lord smiles and smiles

When I ring my heart’s

Sweetness-devotion-bell.

```

2902

```

A surrender-life

Is the first messenger

To bring God-news

Down to earth

From Heaven.

```

2903

```

The arrows of attachment-life

Are destroying

The real beauty and real joy

Of the whole world. ```

2904

```

My mind, I cannot believe

That you missed deliberately

Your God-appointment-hour.

```

2905

```

The doubting mind can enjoy

The fresh air of freedom

If it starts making excursions

Into the countryside of the heart. ```

2906

```

Ignorance first blinded my eye

And then stabbed my heart.

Therefore, I am totally useless.

```

2907

```

My sorrow-flooded life

Slowly and slowly dies

All day long.

```

2908

```

My delight-flooded soul

Flies and flies

In the infinite vastness

Of the sky. ```

2909

```

Every time the heart receives something

From our Beloved Supreme,

The mind shamelessly demands

A lion’s share. ```

2910

```

God-obedience is our giant strength

To make both God and ourselves

Supremely happy.

```

2911

```

In each heartbeat,

My life-breath I offer

To my Lord Supreme

Through my devotion-songs. ```

2912

```

Always encourage and inspire

Your fellow travellers

To follow their inner dictates

And abide by their soul’s decisions. ```

2913

```

What is my surrender,

If not my cheerful and breathless oneness

With God’s Will?

```

2914

```

If you claim your Master wholeheartedly,

He will definitely come to you,

Without fail,

When your life-boat is sinking. ```

2915

```

If you please your Master

In his own way here on earth,

Then in Heaven,

His plane of consciousness

Will be all yours.

```

2916

```

O seeker, you come and go

To serve God the creation

Here on earth

And God the Creator

There in Heaven.

```

2917

```

If you remain inside

Your Master’s heartbeat,

His very name will give you

Infinity’s Nectar-Delight. ```

2918

```

Today I am determined

To fly far beyond

The domain of self-criticism

And world-complaints. ```

2919

```

Do not worry about

What people will say.

Your life is your life.

You will be held accountable

For what you do

Only to God. ```

2920

```

If you are planning to have

A God-fulfilling future,

Now is the very best time

To embark on your new life. ```

2921

```

If you have implicit faith

In God,

Then your God-proximity

Is assured. ```

2922

```

You have heard God’s Philosophy

Again and again,

But poor God is waiting,

With all His Patience,

For you to live His Philosophy.

```

2923

```

My Lord, may I live every day

And every hour

In the blossoming fragrance

Of Your Heart-Garden. ```

2924

```

By this time

You would have been

A super-excellent seeker,

If you had not alienated yourself

From your soul’s company.

```

2925

```

God is all ready to accept

Your volcano-anger,

But He begs you not to use it

Against any human being. ```

2926

```

When your dear ones run towards

The Light infinite,

Replace your human jealousy

With your divine pride. ```

2927

```

You may be well-established

In your outer life,

But who knows, in your inner life

You may be absolutely bankrupt! ```

2928

```

You can embrace the outer life

Only after you have founded yourself

In the heart of your spiritual life.

```

2929

```

When the Master speaks

About devotion,

A false disciple’s

Disbelief-unwillingness-temperature

Goes sky-high.

```

2930

```

When the Master speaks

About obedience,

The Master becomes a victim

To a false disciple’s

Wild criticism.

```

2931

```

When the Master speaks

About surrender,

A false disciple thinks

Only of forced surrender,

And not of cheerful, self-giving

Surrender. ```

2932

```

Your outer success

Has made you enormously proud,

But do you care to know

That inwardly

You are a most deplorable failure?

```

2933

```

Because you are not truly

Spirituality-bound,

Outer world-temptations

At a tiger’s speed

Are fast approaching you.

```

2934

```

There is no separativity

In surrender.

The finite simply

Recognises its own Infinity

And becomes inseparably one with it.

```

2935

```

Do not be a member

Of a spiritual circle

That underrates the true value

Of obedience, love, devotion

And surrender.

```

2936

```

If you are totally dedicated

To your Master’s will,

Then your Master’s guiding hands

You will definitely feel,

Not only in this incarnation,

But also in future incarnations. ```

2937

```

When God created humanity,

He had the full intention

Of transforming humanity’s life

Into Divinity’s Heart. ```

2938

```

At times

The affectionate emotional demands

God’s choice children

Make on Him

Are immeasurably sweet.

```

2939

```

Share your sorrowful heart

With God.

He will immediately

Share His blissful Heart

With you.

```

2940

```

If you are a true God-seeker,

Then God is bound to ask you

To sow peace-blossom-plants

Here, there and all-where. ```

2941

```

The more we can concentrate

On our inner needs,

The sooner we shall be able

To free ourselves

From our outer desires.

```

2942

```

When you sing devotion-songs,

Try to hear your own heart-melodies

Resonating in your entire being.

```

2943

```

May my life

Become

A Mother Earth-service-tree.

```

2944

```

I do not know

When my ignorance-life

Shall die at Your Feet,

But I do feel

It will definitely die one day.

My Lord, do me the biggest favour:

Do expedite the hour!

```

2945

```

The more I tell God

That I am nothing,

The more He tells me

That I am His equal —

A unique manifestation

Of His Dream-Reality. ```

2946

```

God’s Compassion

Is an ever-running river

Carrying me

To my Golden Shore-Destination. ```

2947

```

Yesterday

My Lord Supreme came to me

As His Vision-Light.

Today

He has come to me

As His Reality-Delight. ```

2948

```

My Lord tells me

That my gratitude-heart

His Eye and His Heart

Treasure

More than I can ever imagine.

```

2949

```

When I talk to God,

Quite often He does not listen.

But when I sing for God,

He smilingly, lovingly and unreservedly

Enjoys my heart-songs.

```

2950

```

Every day

Has a special beauty

In my God-aspiration-dream.

```

2951

```

When I am peaceful

In my heart-home,

My mind runs away

Through the emergency exit. ```

2952

```

Even if you are a last-minute seeker,

God’s Heart-Door

Will remain open to you.

```

2953

```

My Lord, I look at Your Eye

To be divinely happy.

My Lord, I listen to Your Heart

To be supremely perfect. ```

2954

```

My Lord is extremely pleased with me

Because my heart

Is a short-time speaker

And my mind

Is a long-time listener.

```

2955

```

Negativity may not be superiority.

Negativity may not be inferiority.

But it definitely is futility.

```

2956

```

God allows only my prayer-tears

To wash His Feet

Every day.

```

2957

```

Spirituality is not something

We can push forward.

No, spirituality is a force

That has its own rhythm and course. ```

2958

```

The mind-jungle never thinks

That there can be a heart-shrine

Anywhere on earth.

```

2959

```

My soul has taken upon itself

A most painful responsibility:

To awaken my sleeping body

And illumine my strangling

And doubting mind.

```

2960

```

Every day

God the Compassion

Comes to me,

But I turn Him into

God the Rejection.

```

2961

```

When it is a matter of surrender,

I immediately feel

My surrender to God’s Will

Is long overdue. ```

2962

```

My life is the creation

Of my Lord’s Vision-Eye.

Therefore, willingly or unwillingly,

I must abide by His Will. ```

2963

```

If you are a true God-lover,

Then either today or tomorrow

You have to become

A self-indulgence-conqueror. ```

2964

```

I have realised

That no matter how poorly

I behave in the spiritual life,

My Lord’s Compassion-Smiles

Will never run short.

```

2965

```

Life is not for eating and drinking.

Life is not for struggling and working.

Life is for God-realisation,

God-revelation

And God-manifestation.

```

2966

```

My ever-blossoming faith and I

Are determined to dethrone

My doubt-mind-king

Once and for all. ```

2967

```

Aspiration-heart-children

Solely live on

Good meditation-food.

```

2968

```

Each time an Avatar

Comes into the world,

He is at least a thousand years

Ahead of his time. ```

2969

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That from now on

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Must be found

In the midst of the here and now. ```

2970

```

May my heart’s

God-worshipping tears

Flood my doubting mind-jungle.

```

2971

```

My mind has a secret

And sacred name:

God-reliance.

```

2972

```

My heart has a secret

And sacred name:

God-obedience.

```

2973

```

My life has a secret

And sacred name:

God-satisfaction.

```

2974

```

I have two secret

And sacred names:

God the tearful Eye

And

God the cheerful Heart.

```

2975

```

An unconditionally surrendered seeker

Is the treasurer

Of God’s Heavenly Dreams.

```

2976

```

O seeker,

Be sleeplessly on your guard!

At any moment,

Your desire-mind-currents

Can carry you away

To the land of nowhere. ```

2977

```

My mind has written

A great many books

On many subjects.

My heart has written

Only one book:

God’s Earth-Tears and Heaven-Smiles. ```

2978

```

My heart’s happiness

Is my life’s

Disobedience-bulldozer.

```

2979

```

My self-offering

Is nothing other than

The Heaven-climbing songs

Of my heart. ```

2980

```

My prayer-heart-tears

Come directly from the purity

Of Mother Earth.

```

2981

```

A seed-thought

Is the source

Of a huge life-fulfilling idea.

```

2982

```

If your faith in God

Is dwindling,

Then your spiritual life

Will suffer from total deterioration. ```

2983

```

My mind’s constant suggestions

I take

As giant transgressions.

```

2984

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Tells me where to go.

God’s Forgiveness-Eye

Tells me how to go.

God’s Justice-Eye

Tells me why to go. ```

2985

```

I am so happy

That I have been living

In my God-Presence-

Remembrance-moments. ```

2986

```

My God-manifestation-promises

Are the results

Of my blooming mind

And blossoming heart. ```

2987

```

My aspiration-heart

Is always from the country

Of God-manifestation-promises.

```

2988

```

When God plays

His Compassion-Flute,

Man’s justice-thunder

Immediately stops. ```

2989

```

My Lord, do whatever You wish

With my heart’s aspiration-cries

And my life’s dedication-smiles.

Like me,

They are all ready to please You

In Your own Way. ```

2990

```

One way I can please

My Lord Supreme

Is to devotedly and gladly bow

To His Justice-Commands. ```

2991

```

When my soul

Is pleased with me,

My heart becomes

A garden of paradise. ```

2992

```

When Compassion rains down

In torrents,

My hope-bird flies

In the sky of fulfilment. ```

2993

```

Keep your consciousness high

All the time,

And then add inspiration-flight

And enthusiasm-delight.

Everything else divine will follow.

```

2994

```

My Lord, when I look at the beauty

Of Your Eye,

I find it extremely difficult

To remove my eyes. ```

2995

```

My Lord, when I smell the fragrance

Of Your Feet,

My heart and I are caught,

Caught forever. ```

2996

```

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Are all excited

To see the Face of God smiling

And the Heart of God dancing.

```

2997

```

When you whisper prayers

In God’s Ears,

God swims in the sea

Of ecstasy. ```

2998

```

Beauty non-pareil has blossomed

In the heart of

The subtle atom-tapestry.

```

2999

```

A day shall dawn in the remote future

When the ignorance-darkness-ink

Of the mind

Will nowhere be found. ```

3000

```

The zenith-glories

Of the seeker’s aspiration-heart

Are only for the Absolute Lord Supreme.
