Of every human being. ```God tells me
That He will makeMy aspiration-heart-wings
Longer than the longest. ```It is never too late
To return to our Lord’sHeart-Home.
```Words fail,
Silence prevails. ```Let us not worry.
God has not forgotten this world,His creation.

In my entire being.Humiliation — no, never!

I felt that all my guiltDisappeared.
```There is no such thing
As an unavoidable descentInto the darkness-abyss.

Has to be pursuedAnd fulfilled.
```Who is calling whom?
God the BeggarOr man the wanderer?
```My Lord, I may not be able
To follow You,But I do wish to follow

Of misdeeds,Just dive deep within,
And then sayWhat you have to say.
```Everything in God’s creation
Can take shelter easilyUnder the wing of God’s
Boundless Compassion. ```If anybody asks me
Where I live,I can easily say that I live
Far, far away from ignorance-cave. ```I have infinitely
More important things to doThan to believe in the power

Inside you. ```Do not fall asleep
Inside the bodyOf blind unwillingness.
```The mind
Does not wantTo try.
```The soul wants to try,
And at the same time it wants to cryAt the Feet
Of our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```My life knows
How to sleep.God’s Heart knows
How to weep. ```We must know
That our mind’s greedCan never be our heart’s need.
```Expectation suffers
Precisely becauseIt does not want to know
What dedication is. ```The mind cannot appreciate
Anything —Even God’s unconditional Grace.
```Fault-finders are forced
To take a zigzag pathTo nowhere.

Here on earthAnd there in Heaven.
```Whatever hurts us
In our outer life,Secretly blesses us
In our inner life. ```A great silence from our soul
Teaches us how to dealNot only with our inner world,
But also with our outer world. ```I do not know
How God’s LoveCan be alien to anybody.
```God expects
His worshippersTo heal this broken world.
```I must no more allow
My deplorable pastTo linger on.
```Like the fleeting moments,
I wish my life to dissolveInto the Infinite.
```Neither happiness
Nor unhappiness,But only God’s Will,
Ultimately prevails. ```Do not allow
Your mind’s dark cloudsTo eclipse
Your aspiration-heart-sun —Never!
```From the little things
That God does for us,We can clearly see and feel
How much Love He has for us. ```First we must free our mind.
Then only shall we be ableTo find God here, there
And everywhere. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Is more than ready and eagerTo protect us,
But, alas, we never value it. ```Not to expect
Is a very encouraging signOf progress.

In God-acceptanceAnd God-manifestation.
```When faith takes root,

Illumines our darkestFear-doubt-insecurity-nights.
```Never, never identify yourself
With any negative force,Even for a fleeting moment.
```A true seeker
Must never spend his daysIn forgetfulness
Of His Lord Supreme. ```Our heart-tears are singing
God’s favourite song:“Gratitude, gratitude and gratitude.”
```When you sing God-songs,
Become a sea of sweetness,From head to toe.
```The soul’s inner fragrance
And the heart’s outer dutyAre God’s two favourites.
```The heart accepts everything,
Readily and immediately. ```The mind objects to everything,
Constantly and vehemently. ```Today God has lifted

My life, my all. ```Earth’s tears
Puzzle Heaven. ```Heaven’s Smiles
Astonish earth. ```God shows me always

```When I smile,
Heaven and God watch meAnd appreciate me.
```When I cry,
Heaven and earthImmediately embrace me

```Not what my mind wants,
And not what my heart needs,But what my Lord Supreme
Wants and needs. ```Every day

```I must speak to God first,
And then I can go and restWith death.
```I pray to God
Not because I do not haveAnything else to do.
```I pray to God because
That is the only thingI must do.
```My mind dares
To challenge the world. ```My heart longs
To become the world. ```Although I am useless
In every aspect of my life,My Lord’s Concern for me
Is beyond measure. ```Whatever I preach
In my outer life,I practise
In my inner life. ```My affection-heart
Has a free accessTo God.
```When my mind and I smile,
God comes closer and closerTo us.
```When my heart and I cry,
God becomes dear, dearer and dearestTo us.
```Quite often
My outer activitiesMislead me.
```My inner activities
Thrill God. ```When God comes,
I am always busy. ```When I go to God,
God welcomes me,Leaving aside everything.
```The outer success
Does not necessarily indicateThe inner progress.
```Each God-seeker
Is specialIn God’s Heart.
```To love the world
Is to make the world perfect. ```The mind wants
God-inventionImmediately.

Although all your dreams have failed.Wake up and run and fly.
This time, you are bound to win. ```The heart wants to live
Right beside the mind,But the mind does not agree.
```Intermittent prayers
Are of no avail. ```An anti-God movement
Is the height of absurdity. ```When God scolds me,
Is it a blessing or a curse?Definitely, an unparalleled Blessing.
```We all need
An unwavering faithIn our Master.
```Only God’s Compassion-Eye
Can erase totallyAll our painful memories.
```Any progress
In our divine lifeCan only be measured
In inches. ```God’s Presence we do not value.
Alas, God’s absence alsoBecomes unbearable to us.
```If we do not love God for God’s sake,
Then we will not be able to getA Heaven-entry ticket.
```We shall have to be both
A God-loving seekerAnd
A God-fulfilling lover. ```May my surrender-life
Be in God’sConfidence-circle.
```Self-congratulation
Has to be pitiedFrom the beginning
To the end. ```If we are incapable
Of divine love,Our spiritual life
Will end in vain. ```Divine love
Means onenessWith the Universal Heart.
```Mountains give us
Silence. ```We give God
Our satisfaction-heart. ```There shall definitely come an hour
When the God-doubting mindWill be ousted from power
By our God-oneness-heart. ```There are no stop signs
On our God-surrender-road. ```When the heart kneels and prays,
The stupid mindMakes fun of the heart.
```One by one, I must conquer

```Desire-satisfaction
Is the beginningOf a new world-bondage.
```Without aspiration,
We cannot quench our mind-thirstAnd fulfil our heart-hunger.
```We are all caught ruthlessly
In the expectation-net. ```We need
An insatiable God-hunger. ```God is Delight
When I am all-lovingAnd all-serving.
```What God finds harmful,
The mind finds that very thingBlissful.
```No God-oneness-improvement
Can ever be establishedBy the mind-government.
```God-seeking has to be
Extremely sincere and intense.Otherwise, there is no hope
Of completing the race. ```My Lord asks me to exclude two words
From my heart-dictionary:Ingratitude and selfishness.
```May my flower-heart
Give my LordA little joy.
```The heart’s tears
Are always blissful. ```The mind’s smiles
Are always deceitful. ```If we are self-giving,
Then we are destined to arriveAt God’s Heart-Home.
```The spiritual life cannot be
An imagined God-hunger.It has to be
A real reality-God-hunger. ```Every human being
Has to climb upThe tolerance-ladder.

Where are you?I see your presence nowhere.
```Without choosing God first,
We must never embark on any journeyIn the spiritual world.
```My mind says that
God has forgotten me. ```My heart says that
God has enlivenedMy heart and my all.
```There is so much reluctance
In my mindWhen my heart wants to reach
God’s Feet. ```Every thought
Is an additional bondageIn my aspiration-life.
```God’s Heart is always for us,

Countless catastrophesIf we have faith in God

```No God-serving

```When we suffer
In the suffering of others,God’s Pride knows no bounds.
```If we can be happy
In the happiness of others,Then God is really acting
In and through us. ```My heart is a quenchless thirst
For God-union. ```Promise-fulfillers
Are God’s happiestAnd proudest choice.
```Selfishness has
A very long-lasting life. ```We must love God
In His own WayIf we really want to love Him
At all. ```I belong
To no religion.I belong only
To God’s Heart-Love. ```In the stillness of silence
We accomplish everythingMost significantly.
```It is so difficult
To cast aside the prideOf all our actions.
```Humanity needs
God-hungerMore than anything else.
```We must settle the quarrel
Between the doubting mind-GodAnd the loving heart-God.
```If we express our annoyance
At the mind,It will be of no avail.
```Alas,
Why do I still remain in my mind,Since I know that the mind’s operations
Are all futile? ```Each seeker must cry and cry
For a flash of divine light. ```The God-cry has to be
Relentless and sleepless. ```Hesitation

```Do not indulge in dark desires.
Before long you will be reprimandedBy God Himself.

Is an arduous taskOf the heart.
```When determination
Weakens,Life is bound
To fail. ```A man of inaction
Is not approved ofBy God.
```My Lord is a selfless Friend
To everybody.Alas, only a few are aware of Him.
```Nothing can be as beautiful
And as powerfulAs our God-surrender-joy.
```My Lord,
I beg of YouTo remove my name
From the God-disobedience-list. ```God never stops offering us
His World-Transformation-Messages,Knowing perfectly well
That we shall not heed them. ```Do not judge.
You will be the suffererIn the long run.
```God uses His Power
DrasticallyOnly as a last resort.
```May my faith
In my own spiritual lifeAlways remain
Strong, stronger, strongest. ```God wants me to be
An invincible hero-warrior. ```We must not disappoint God
By arriving lateAt God’s Heart-Door.
```God wants me
To serve HimWith my heart’s
Silence-smiles. ```If we are ready to dedicate
Our every breathTo our Lord Supreme,
Then we are readyFor the real spiritual life.
```We must value spirituality
Infinitely moreThan anything else.
```We must treasure
Our simplicity-lifeAnd sincerity-heart
All the time. ```Curiosity
EndsIn futility.
```My devotion-heart
Sheds streaming tearsTo be of service
To my Lord Supreme. ```I must clasp my Lord’s
Compassion-EyeMost devotedly
Before it is too late. ```Two things I need:
A doubt-free mindAnd
A fire-pure heart. ```At every moment
I need the dancing smileOf a child.
```May my earth-existence
Live in betweenGod’s Compassion-Eye
AndGod’s Forgiveness-Heart.
```Do not allow anybody
To destroyYour heart’s blooming hopes.
```We must shut
Our desire-hunger-vital-doorAs soon as possible.
```Alas, I do not know why
I do not give more attentionTo my Lord’s Affection-Nest.
```Each life
Must resembleOur Lord’s Vision-Eye.
```God most compassionately
Shares with my heartHis Heart’s Secrets
Every night. ```Do not ask God
For permission to rest.He knows more than anybody else
When you need rest. ```We should not allow our hearts
To be blindedBy false love and false joy.
```If we ignore the Will of God,
We shall never be ableTo enjoy God-thrill.
```Just a little hope
SavesOur most precious life.
```Alas, how many times
God has to tell meThat His Dreams
Are all mine. ```The mind-parliament
Is not boundBy justice-light.
```No determination,
No promise-fulfilment-satisfaction. ```Alas,
I have a new name:Frustration-volcano.
```We all must fly
From earth-soilTo Heaven-stars.
```My crying and weeping life
Has finally surrenderedIts heavy load
To my Lord Supreme. ```Never underestimate
The powerOf a gratitude-heart.
```We must shake off
The powerOf ruthless fear.
```Meditation
Is a genuine actOf inner dive.
```Excitement,
I want you not.Enthusiasm,
I need you at every moment. ```Each aspiration-life
Is, indeed,A hope-harvest.
```Mother Earth
Is aliveBecause she has
Innumerable hopes. ```My Lord, my only desire:
Please allow me to followYour Footsteps.
```If I cannot obey my Master,
Then sooner or laterI shall be exiled
From my Master’s heart. ```To have no disciple
Is infinitely betterThan to have an unwilling disciple.
```We all need
Heart-prayersAnd not parrot-prayers.
```If we do not
Simplify our life,Then how can God
Beautify our heart? ```God will never be satisfied
With a part-time seeker. ```Our insecurity-mind
Is justly condemnedBy our Lord’s Supreme Court.
```We do not have
The faintest ideaWhen God will arrive
And knock at our door. ```The mind does not care to know
Whether we are all God-acceptedOr God-rejected human beings.
```The soulfulness of the heart
Increases the swiftnessOf our aspiration-life.
```If we have inner poise,
Then in each and every fieldWe can achieve tremendous success.
```It seems to me that gratitude
Has not yet taken birthHere on earth.
```The purity of the heart
Is the certaintyOf our inner progress.
```Self-offering
Is the keyTo God-discovery.
```Heart-soulfulness
Is the very beginningOf God-oneness.
```Without enlightenment
We can never achieveFulfilment.
```Inside the sweetness
Of the heart,The fulness of life
Blossoms. ```My humility
Is treasuredBy God’s own Divinity.
```This universe came into existence
From God’s transcendentalAnd all-energising Delight.
```When I play my role —
The collection of my heart-flowers —God plays His own Role —
He blesses me. ```In the spiritual life,
Nothing can be as importantAs self-giving.
```Devotion quickens
The speedOf my God-realisation.
```The difference between the outer light
And the inner light is this:The outer light exposes the darkness;
The inner light transforms our darknessInto light.
```No word is as complicated
As the word “truth”.Again, no experience can be
The saviour of the worldSave and except truth.
```God-closeness is possible
Only when we put an endTo our puny “i”-ness.
```The victory of patience
Is absolutely certain. ```The sweetness of forgiveness
Is unparalleled. ```Plenitude comes into existence
In my lifeOnly when I have the certitude
That I cannot live,Even for a fleeting moment,
Without my Lord’s PresenceIn the very depths of my heart.
```God allows us to touch His Feet
Only when we are readyTo gladly surrender
Our ignorance-night and wisdom-lightTogether at His Feet,
Happily, cheerfully and self-givingly,To please Him constantly
In His own Way. ```Aspiration is an ever-mounting
Heavenward flameThat all seekers
Must needs have. ```The difference between prayer
And meditation is this:Prayer says to the world,
“Look, look, O world,How much I love God.”
Meditation says to the world,“O world, look, look,
How much God and I love each other.” ```To discover our hidden divinity,
The sincerity of the mindIs an absolute necessity.
```Perseverance
Shatters the prideOf impossibility.
```The body is a temple.
The soul is the shrine.God is the Beloved Deity
In the shrine. ```Each soulful smile
Has tremendous powerTo lessen the torture
Of suffering. ```If my heart is full of joy,
Then God saysI am all ready to become
His most favourite toy. ```The human in us enjoys
The caged bird.The divine in us enjoys
The uncaged birdThat flies and flies
In Infinity’s Sky. ```Every day we must feed
Our consciousnessWith our soulful prayers
And prayerful meditations.Only then can we please God
In His own Way. ```Quite often
Our outer success hindersOur inner progress.
```Each time we make
An inch of inner progress,Not only do we see and feel,
But we also becomeThe beauty and fragrance
Of God-closeness. ```If you are a strong server
Of God,Then God will do everything
For you. ```The sun does not forget to rise
And bless us.How is it that we forget to pray
Early in the morning every day? ```If you are not in your heart-home,
How will you ever hearGod’s extremely desperate knock?
```How I wish I could be
A worker in God’sAmusement-Park.
```My Lord’s Whispers
Awaken meAnd save me.
```My morning promise to God:
I shall not displease my LordIn any way the whole day.
```We must not enjoy self-doubt,
For self-doubtIs slow poison.
```Do not push,
Do not pull.Life is a hope-fulfilment-river.
```Only a dauntless soul
Can arriveAt God’s Heart-Door.
```For the mind
To accept surrenderIs a rare experience.
```I shall no longer accept
Ego’s supremacyIn my life.
```My Lord, give me an eye
That sees only You,And nothing else.
```O my mind,
Do not give up spiritualityWithout trying.
```Self-offering
HasThe breath of sweetness.
```The acceptance
Of failureIs the worst possible mistake.
```If you cannot completely
Give up your desire-life,You should at least try
To curtail it. ```We must discard
All the superficialities of lifeBefore we enter into
The spiritual life. ```On principle
I do not smile at the personWho enjoys self-pity.
```God’s Victory-Chariot
Is beckoning me. ```Life means
An eternal test,And not an eternal rest.
```My Lord’s Silence-Smile
Brings meUnfathomable peace.
```My Master’s will
Is my Eternity’s all. ```I must forget my past
Long before GodBeckons my life-boat.
```I need obedience
Before I pray to GodFor anything else.
```If you can sing soulfully
And self-givingly,Then God will bless you
With a permanent placeIn His Heart-Home.
```I must guard my heart
At every momentAgainst my mind’s constant attack.
```I love examination,
So that I can quicklyEnter into the higher courses
Of the spiritual life. ```The Master’s smile
IsHis compassion-heart-power.
```The tide must turn.
Once more I must becomeA choice instrument
Of my Lord Supreme. ```Be courageous.
Accept your short-term defeatCheerfully,
And then embarkOn a very long-term journey
To see the Face of God. ```I have only one choice:
Wake up, walk, runAnd sprint.
```Life can hide
Many things,But not God’s Will.
```Non-attachment
Is a very difficult taskFor any human being to accomplish.
```Surrender
Is the direct flightTo God-Satisfaction.
```I must wait a little more.
God’s Compassion is comingSoon, very soon.
```I become useless
The moment I do notInvoke peace.
```My Lord, I am fully prepared
To go with You.Just keep Your blessingful Hand
On my head. ```May each good thought
Of mineEnjoy an endless journey.
```May my heart every day
Pray to GodFor universal love.
```God-surrender
Is the highest heightOf the aspiration-mountain.
```A heart full of devotion
Is a life ofGod-satisfaction.
```Everything of my Lord I love,
But His Compassion-AuraI love infinitely more.
```I am now completely free.
I am no longer imprisonedBy my mind.
```The moment I am at my Lord’s
Forgiveness-Feet,I fly and fly in my Lord’s
Infinite Compassion-Sky. ```I have left far behind
My desire-cottage.I am now living in
My Lord’s Illumination-Palace. ```If a seeker wants to be strong
Both physically and spiritually,Then he has to be fed every day
By God-fulfilment-hopes. ```The moment I sat
At my Lord’s Compassion-Feet,The petals of my heart-flower
Fully blossomed. ```The heart enjoys
God’s scoldings.The mind cleverly escapes
God’s scoldings. ```My life-boat
Is made of only one thing:God-faith.
```Rejection
Is not the answer.Acceptance and then transformation
Is the Answer of answers. ```When my soul whispers,
I drink deepNectar-Delight.
```My Lord says to me,
“My child, do not worryAbout your imperfections.
The transformationOf your imperfections
Is My Responsibility.” ```Desire and aspiration
Come and go.But my God-surrender,
Once achieved,Never disappears.
```A desire-mind
Begins with enthusiasmAnd ends in frustration.
```My aspiration-heart-garden
Is extremely richIn hope-plants.
```Mine is the heart
That receives my Lord’sSatisfaction-Smiles
On a daily basis. ```Nobody can escape transformation —
Not even my clever mindAnd my haughty vital.
```My Lord tells me that
My dreams are notJust daydreams,
But they areHis Promise-Fulfilment-Realities.
```O my ignorance-sleep,
I tell you, your sleep-enjoymentWill end very shortly.
```To reach my Lord’s Heart-Home,
My mind must hurryAnd my heart must fly.
```My Lord, I did not think
That You would be waiting for me.Otherwise, I could have come
Much earlier. ```God and I fulfil
Our respective tasks:God counts the tears of my heart,
And I count the Smiles of His Eye. ```God always keeps
His Heart-Door wide openFor His supremely chosen children.
```My mind has completely stopped
Its age-old friendshipWith ignorance-night.
```My Lord Supreme,
Do bless me withA sweetness-child-heart
So that I can makeThe fastest progress.

After He inspectedMy heart-shrine.
```God told me
That I was His allThe moment I told Him
That I was His child. ```Today God has blessed me
With something very new:His utter Satisfaction-Smiles.
```A God-newness-dream
Was born in my heartThe moment I liberated myself
From my mind-prison. ```Self-indulgence
No more, no more.Life-transcendence
More, ever more. ```My Lord,
I have only one prayer:Do make me
An ever-climbing heart-flame. ```A deep meditation
Is the sunrise-beautyOf the heart.
```A self-giving heart
Is the God-fulfilmentOf a rainbow-life.

Is an abiding hopeIn my heart.

Have to be persistentAnd consistent.
```All our responsibilities
God cheerfully accepts,Provided we have faith in Him.
```Do not allow yourself
To be caughtBy world-headaches.

Comes fromMy Lord’s Eye.
```My strength
Comes fromMy Lord’s Feet.

Our Heavenward journey. ```I shall not allow
The comfort and pleasure-lifeTo be my master.
```My Lord,
May I look at Your FeetTwenty-four hours a day.
```Disobedience
Flows intoThe destruction-sea.
```Nothing
Can equalA oneness-heart.
```Alas, I do not know
How I spend so much timeAway from my Lord’s Feet.
```God tells me
That if I want to be perfect,Then I must love Him
And serve man all the time. ```May my self-discipline-days
Never expire. ```Mother Earth,
Do teach meHow to be detached.
```Divine deeds
Speak infinitely louderThan words.
```Each time I offer my selfless service,
My Lord allows me to comeOne step closer to Him.
```God tells me only one thing:
I must allow HimTo smile through my heart.
```The heart-pilgrimage
To our highest DestinationIs protected and guided
By our Absolute Lord Supreme. ```I shall never forget one thing:

```In my heart,
Sweetest is the feelingOf my God-surrender-breath.
```I came into the world
Not for my glories,But to spread the Glories
Of my Lord SupremeAll-where.

And meditate on God,We can clearly see
That God and we are all unitedBy an unseen cord.

I have to carry His HeartThroughout the length and breadth
Of the world. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 30, Agni Press, 2002
