Today I have given my heart
Once and for allTo the real Owner: God.
```God’s Smile
Is the Warrior SupremeTo help me win
In the battlefield of life. ```When I follow the Footsteps
Of my Lord Supreme,I become a choice instrument
Of His Love. ```There is no doubt
That God’s WillWill eventually win
In every aspect of human life. ```My Lord, what can I do
To thank You?“My child, to thank Me
Just smile and smile.” ```God loves me deeply
Because I giveA full-hearted response
To His Call. ```If receptivity is the name
Of my heart,Then God’s Grace
Will never come to an end. ```The divine Will
Is not only perfectBut also invincible.
```I must deliver myself
To the life of devotion. ```We should always be ready
To suffer for humanity.This is at times the only way
To serve God the Creation. ```Nothing is as useless
As frustration. ```God favours him
Because he is no moreIn expectation-prison.
```There can be no proper excuse
To neglect your prayer-life. ```The mind is so materialistic.
It does not care forThe inner life at all.
```The mind loves
Gloom-philosophyInfinitely more than it loves
Bloom-philosophy. ```There is only one thing certain:
God wants me to beAs great and good
As He Himself is. ```There is nothing that equals
God’s Smiles and God’s Tears,Either in Heaven or on earth.
```My heart is all the time
On the watch for new waysTo discover God.
```Nothing can remain
Beyond the reachOf God-hungry prayers.
```To obey the Master
Is to seeThe smiling Face of God.
```My heart is focused
Only on one thing:God-obedience.
```The doubting mind
NeedsAn illumining friend.
```A true seeker
Is also a God-loverAnd a God-server.
```God and I beg each other
To do the same thing:Smile.
```Each good dream
Is a big expansionOf the heart.
```The beauty
Of a morning rainbowAwakens my heart.
```It takes a very, very long time
For the realisation-dayTo dawn.
```I have decided that
I shall no more haveA painful misunderstanding
With my Lord Supreme. ```Be extremely careful!
Ignorance-nightDoes not easily die.
```Although I am so insignificant
In every way,My Lord Supreme tells me
That He needs me badly. ```My heart needs
Wisdom-exercise daily. ```Purity must reign supreme
In each human lifeTo please God.
```The ultimate failure:
Man serving the animalIn himself.
```The aspiring heart needs
Assimilation-powerEvery day.
```It is extremely difficult
To expel the hostilityOf the wild vital.
```Disobedience-audacity
Is, indeed,An explosive bomb.
```The ultimate victory:
The total transformationOf the doubting mind.
```If you want to be
A front-row seeker,Then give up your desire-life
Altogether. ```Each aspiration-stride
Gives our heartTremendous joy.
```Only the soul
Can be the perfect caretakerOf my heart.
```When the life-train carries
Only desire-passengers,The train goes off the track.
```God’s infinite Compassion
Gives me a special ticketTo fly from my heart-home
To His Heart-Home. ```To obey God
Is to stay awayFrom the mind-jungle.
```God is telling me
That He will soon bless meWith shining aspiration.
```Pride dearly loves
Only to liveIn its self-glory.
```Either today or tomorrow
The negativity of the mindHas to disappear.
```When my heart
Is all gratitude,God proudly blesses me
With God-invocation-breath. ```Only God-songs
I keep very safelyIn my heart-file.
```Cheerfulness we badly need
When we embark onLife’s inner journey.
```Slowly, steadily and unerringly
I am creating a strong, stronger, strongestAffection-bond
With my Beloved Supreme. ```My heart-door-key
God never gives to anybody.Only He uses it.
```The sunshine of my soul’s smile
Feeds my hungry heartEvery day.
```If you want to change,
You must knowThat you are doing it
Only for improvement,And for nothing else.
```Friendship-talent
Is lackingIn the human life.
```Disobedience
Is imminent danger. ```I give God
My surrender-life.God gives me
His Responsibility-Heart. ```What displeases God
Is not my weaknessBut my unwillingness.
```I shall never dine
With ignorance-night —Never, never —
For I have come to realiseThat my Lord is my All.
```Whenever God secretly
Tells me anything,I must take it to be as sacred
As God’s own Breath. ```Each aspiring moment
Of my lifeMakes God very proud of me.
```No, not even the mind
Can deny God’sMost blissful Charm.
```Who says that we cannot
Shock God,The moment we say
That God-realisationIs not meant for us?
```There are so many angels
Inside my heart.I am going to join them
To sing our Lord’s Victory-Songs. ```Nothing is as simple
As speaking highlyOf God.
```To my great surprise
My Lord’s Peace-PalaceIs within my walking distance.
```If we do not have faith
In God’s Will,We will be the loser,
Not God. ```A wee smile is needed
To make my Lord happy. ```I am so proud of my heart
That it is always readyFor God’s complete Inspection.
```Alas, what have I done?
My Lord’s PatienceIs swimming
In the sea of tears. ```God has only one wish —
My acceptance of His WillAll the time.
```Every day dive deeper and deeper
So that you can find the only wayTo God’s Nectar-Feet.
```A man of disobedience
Thinks he can fool GodAnd remain unnoticed.
```Negativity
IsA fatal disease.
```Surrender is the only thing
That God and I love to discuss. ```To my greatest joy
God trustsMy surrender-promise.
```At long last
I have learnt my Lord’s WayOf doing everything.
```When the mind says that
It has abundant peace for me,It is not convincing.
```Insecurity must be cast aside
When we embarkOn our heart-journey.
```God tells me that
No sincere God-climbing heartCan ever falter.
```My heart always tries
To stay in tuneWith God’s Compassion-Beat.
```Each step forward
Has a sacred meaningOf its own.
```For years and years
I have been cherishingA solitary desire:
I want my life to mingleWith the golden dust
Of my Lord’s Feet. ```May my heart throb
With the strongest aspirationTo please my Lord Supreme.
```Ego begins
The self-extinction-game. ```My unhappy mind
BewildersMy poor heart.
```Do not try to impress God.
It will be an utter failure. ```My tears and God’s Smiles
Mutually devourOne another.
```God’s Affection
IsMy unparalleled satisfaction.
```May my heart and I
Sport with the beautyOf morning smiles.
```God Himself asks me
Every dayTo make a fresh start.
```Every day
God invents a new GameTo keep my heart happy.
```Right after
The surrender-road,We enter into
The delight-street. ```Every day I make it a point
To keep my desire-closetVery firmly shut.
```My dawn-meditation
AwakensMy slumbering life.
```Every morning God comes down
To garland meWith His Compassion-Tears
And Satisfaction-Smiles. ```God alone knows
How eager I amTo lose my earth-existence
Completely in Him. ```Expectation-extinction
Is the fastest roadTo God.
```The real spiritual life
Has to be a perfect strangerTo pretension.
```Every morning
I bathe in my Lord’sCompassion-Forgiveness-River.
```Each time my Lord and I meet,
We exchangeOur silence-smiles.
```It is our utter stupidity
That makes us feelThat each time we think of God,
God remains away, far away. ```Truth-light
And wisdom-delightAre eternal partners.
```Without a sleepless and breathless
God-hunger,Nobody can realise God.
```May my God-oneness-heart
Never cease. ```God could have chosen
Anybody to His liking,But He chose me to be
His messenger-light. ```We must always keep
In very close contactWith our soul.
```My God-oneness-moments
I shall rememberForever and forever.
```The more I love
God’s Compassion-Eye,The more I need
God’s Forgiveness-Heart. ```My heart and I
Shall always remainGreat admirers
Of God the Superstar. ```If you waste time,
You will never be ableTo arrive at God’s Station.
```The closer I come to God’s Heart,
The less I understand,But my love of God
Immediately increasesIn infinite measure.
```May my friendship
With all seeker-friends of mineBe insecurity-jealousy-free.
```Today is the perfect day
For me to embarkOn God-discovery.
```Nobody cares for me.
Indeed, this is no news.But my Lord cares for me
All the time.Indeed, this is the news of news.
```From this very moment
I shall make myself available,No matter when I get a call
From my Lord Supreme. ```My Lord,
Alas, I have failed You again.“My child,
You can never fail Me,For I shall never accept your failure.”
```My Lord tells me that
I must not pay any attentionTo my frustration-mind.
```God wants to see my face
Only when I am eagerTo feel His Heart.
```Wherever I go
With my purity-heart,Divinity’s Beauty blossoms.
```Whenever I am with God,
Everything is instrumentalAnd nothing is incidental.
```My beauty-empty eyes
Become exceedingly beautifulThe moment God stands before me.
```Enthusiasm is
My success-assuranceIn my outer life.
```Patience is
My progress-guaranteeIn my inner life.
```My heart-expansion
And my God-manifestationGo side by side.
```God wants me to offer Him
Unfailing attentionSo that He can use me
In His own Way. ```God’s Eye
Is the SourceOf my inspiration.
```God’s Heart
Is the SourceOf my aspiration.
```God’s Light
Is the SourceOf my dedication.
```O my mind, please do me
Only one big favour:Be kind to my Lord Supreme
When He comes to visit me. ```If you do not believe
In God’s Compassion,Then He is under no obligation
To show you what He truly is. ```When I was
In my mind-cave,I was all God-negation.
```When I am
In my heart-cottage,I am all God-affirmation.
```Anything that God likes,
I shall always immediatelyLike it.
```Alas,
The divine singer in meStill remains unsung.
```God does not believe
In assessment.Therefore He does not make
Any assessmentOf my divine qualities.
```At every moment
I orient my life-breathHeavenward.
```God inspects my body,
Vital, mind and heart.Only my heart enjoys
God’s Inspection. ```My heart has a sleepless hunger
To hear good newsFrom the cosmic gods.
```I wish to be a lover
Of my heart’s aspirationAnd not a lover
Of my mind’s information. ```My Lord,
May I be allowed to weepTears of ecstasy
Before You. ```Fate is not unchangeable
When will is indomitableAnd incomparable.
```In my hour of dire need,
My Lord usesHis faster than the fastest Speed.
```Our outer success
Gives us joy.Our inner progress
Gives us peace. ```God compassionately looks
At my small thoughts. ```God proudly looks
At my long will. ```Do not hesitate.
Decide immediately:Either the human in your mind
Or the divine in your heart. ```When God stands before me,
My eyes start dancingAnd my heart starts crying.
```Pleasure has another name:
Loser. ```An outer beggar
Can easily beAn inner multimillionaire.
```Each human breath
Is a step towards death.Each divine breath
Is a step towards Immortality. ```God loves to solve my problems,
But, alas, quite oftenI love my problems
To remain unsolved. ```Confession is not
The problem-shooter.Non-repetition
Is the real problem- shooter. ```Every day
My body, vital,Mind and heart
Soulfully enjoyA God-search-relay.
```Friendship thrives
In the heartOf selflessness.
```Every day my heart needs
A new smileTo please my Lord Supreme
In His own Way. ```My mind takes everything
As an obligation.My heart takes everything
As a golden opportunity. ```Last night God missed me
Very badly.Therefore, He called on me
In the very early morning. ```May every single day
Be worthy ofMy spiritual awakening.
```God does not miss
Any opportunity to show usHis most sincere Concern.
```We must allow
Our divine dreamsTo mould and shape us.
```The more I think
Of the world positively,The more I am loved
By the world dearly. ```I never thought
That I was going to batheIn God’s Compassion-Sea.
```I wish God’s Compassion-Eye
To beMy only Authority.
```A rainbow-dawn
Every day reveals our heartTo be
As beautiful as it is. ```Appreciation is the only way
For usTo bring the good qualities of others
To the fore. ```So often we are quite unaware
Of God’s Compassion-EyeAnd His Forgiveness-Heart.
```When God makes fun of us,
We must realise that it is alwaysHis Compassion-Game.
```When God teases us,
He just shows usHis overwhelming Love for us.
```God’s Joy knows no bounds
When we think each creation of HisIs extremely sacred.
```I must follow God,
For He is the only WayFor me.
```I pray to God to correct me
And perfect meAt every moment.
```God immediately
Pays attentionTo our heart-tears.
```God takes
Immediate prideIn our life’s smiles.
```When I have pure devotion
In my heart,The distance between God and me
Becomes infinitely shorter. ```My obedience
Is my perfectionAnd God’s Satisfaction.
```Those who do not respond
To God’s CompassionAre bound to be total failures
In life. ```The supreme Consciousness
Is eagerly waiting to take birthIn our heart’s aspiration-cries.
```I love God
More than usualWhen He examines me.
```When my heart
Does not feel God’s Presence,It means that my heart
Is not in the right place. ```When I feel God is on my side,
That means I am not readyFor the spiritual life.
When I feel I am on God’s side,That means I am more than ready
To accept the spiritual life. ```God proudly counts
All the devotion-tearsIn my heart.
```We must reject and ignore
All the invitations that we getFrom our doubting mind.
```God can hear
Our heart’s most feeble cryIf He wants to.
```Devotion means
Our aspiration-heartIs in action.
```God proudly cradles
My God-manifestation-dedication-life. ```We help ourselves tremendously
When we encourage othersIn their life-activities.
```When we know
That we are of GodAnd we are for God,
We need no outer credentials. ```I love to see my heart
At every moment happy. ```My heart loves to see
My Lord SupremeAt every moment happy.
```Alas, I am so stupid to think
That my Lord’s Love for meIs something that goes on and off
Like a light bulb. ```If I am an unconditional
God-seeker,Then I must see
That God’s Love is constantlyMoving through me and around me.
```God loves me equally
Whether I am on stageOr off stage.
```God tells me that
I am infinitely moreThan what I think I am.
```All in silence
God’s Eye inventsAnd my heart discovers.
```The real torture begins
The moment I denyGod’s Concern for me.
```When God calls my heart,
It immediately starts running. ```When God calls my mind,
Alas, it does not have the capacityEven to crawl.
```Noise is another name
For our disturbingAnd disturbed mind.
```Poise is another name
For our lovingAnd aspiring heart.
```I surrender only
To the power of love,And not to anything else.
```I shall not allow my mind
To fight with my silence-heartAny more.
```Dispel disharmony
With sweetest feelings. ```Meditation means
Radiation of happiness. ```I do not have to know
The future.I want only to know God.
```My heart-tears reveal
My inner beauty. ```I shall not allow
My enthusiasm-heartTo be fragile any more.
```There is only one way
To conquer ignorance,And that way is
To look ignorance in the eye. ```Each soul has
Something special to performOn the earth-stage.
```If you cannot believe in yourself,
Then how can you expect GodTo help you?
```God wants me to have
A doubt-free mind,And not a carefree life.
```My world-transformation-dream
Must come from within. ```No belief,
No achievement. ```Mind-purity
BringsGod-security.
```May my circle of sympathy
Be widened every day,Every hour, every minute
And every second. ```Without God-devotion,
We can never succeedIn the inner life.
```A clear head
And a pure heartGo together to manifest
God’s Light on earth. ```Do not imagine
The golden future.Just throw yourself
Heart and soulInto the golden future.
```My Lord,
I wish to be alwaysAt Your Feet.
Please, spare meAny other desire.
```To enlighten my life,
I must deepen my heart. ```There is a plane
Of consciousnessWhere time is not needed.
```What is the distance
Between God and man?God is only a breath away
From man. ```No matter how big
Our problems are,Our prayers and meditations
Can easily come to our rescue. ```The greatness of the mind
Can easily mislead us. ```The goodness of the heart
Will never mislead us. ```If I really love God,
Then nobody will be ableTo stand against me.
```I must smash asunder
Yesterday’s bondage-chain. ```To achieve most significant progress,
I must have a heartThat becomes younger every day.
```Every day a good seeker
Imports Heaven’s Beauty and FragranceTo awaken the world
From its deep slumber. ```God the Dream
We quite often forget. ```A desire-man
Is his own slave. ```A God-longing heart
BecomesA God-belonging life.
```God’s Secrets
Are an open bookTo the self-giving seekers.
```Until I fulfil my promise,
God will never allow meTo sleep.
```An earth-bound mind
Can definitely becomeA Heaven-free heart.
```Each day God does not
Come to me alone.He invites opportunities
To come with Him. ```Disobedience can give us
A heart-damaging experience. ```The mind is extremely jealous
Of the great heart-soul friendship. ```When I pray
With my eyes wide open,I desire to see
God’s blue Eye. ```When I meditate
With my eyes closed,I desire to see
God’s golden Feet. ```The moment I close my mind’s eye,
I see the whole universeHelping me to reach my goal.
```Every morning I collect
Hundreds of aspiration-flowersAnd place them on the shrine.
```If you really love God,
Then you must not withdrawFrom the world.
```I know I come from Heaven,
But alas, I do not knowWhere I am heading.
```Hours seem as moments
When our devotion-heartsRest at God’s Feet.
```A oneness-heart-journey
Is the only journeyThat ultimately matters.
```Our aspiration and dedication
Help each other most remarkablyWhile we are on our way
To God’s Destination. ```Inspiration
Is a charming productOf a higher world.
```Aspiration
Is a thrilling productOf the inner world.
```The mind-recording-machine
Can at times beVery ineffective.
```To win the progress-race,
We must feedOur God-surrender-heart
Sumptuously. ```I do not want to know
Where my place isIn God’s Cosmic Plan,
As long as I know thatI am a true member
Of the Cosmic Plan. ```Each duty-free day
Gives the mindEnormous happiness.
```My Beloved Supreme,
Do give me a signThat I am chosen by You,
And not by anybody else. ```Eagerness knows no hesitation.
Everything it doesIn the twinkling of an eye.
```Desire-greed
Never makes us strong.It only makes us weak,
Very weak. ```Silence does not mind
If it is not heard. ```Sound gets furious
When it is not heard. ```Someday my Lord
Shall definitely shatterMy ignorance-mind.
```May I have a heart
That will always be hungryFor God’s Affection and Fondness.
```God gives us not only
Second and third chances,But endless chances.
```When I am in my deep meditation,
I see God and His Vision-EyeAround every corner.
```Not newness
But onenessIs perfection-bliss.
```To my great joy
My silence-hungerIs increasing
Every day. ```He who thinks
That he can be neutral about GodIs stupidity incarnate.
```The mind desires
Omnipotence-powerEvery day, every hour,
Every minute, every second. ```The heart desires
Omnipresence-loveAt each hush gap.
```Each selfless effort
Is bound to winEvery day.
```My only prayer
Is to breathe inThe constant flow
Of God’s Love. ```When my heart-candle
Is ignited,I see God here, there
And all-where. ```Be not afraid of the unknown
If you really want to manifestYour Lord Supreme on earth.
```No God-Song
Shall remain unheardBy me.
```When we are in
Our mind’s desire-jungle,The desire-fire burns us.
```When we are in
Our heart’s aspiration-garden,Aspiration-beauty and fragrance
Illumine us. ```Everything can remain insignificant
In my life,But not my devotion-heart.
```When we love God,
He opens up His EyeVery widely.
```When we serve God,
He opens up His HeartImmediately.
```I love God
Because that is the only thingI have learnt
From the moment I took my first breathOn earth.
```If I want to see God,
Then I must cry and crySleeplessly.
```If I want to serve God,
Then I must smile and smileBreathlessly.
```The sound-life
Leads us nowhere. ```The silence-heart
Takes us everywhereTo see God.
```Each prayer-fulfilment
Is a gift from Above. ```Each meditation-fulfilment
Is a gift from within. ```God repeatedly tells me
That I do not have toProve to others who I am,
As long as He knows who I amAnd I know what He wants me to do
For Him. ```I do not have to know the future,
As long as God knowsWho I am and what I stand for.
```No more time-outs.
We all needLightning speed
To reach our goal. ```My heart overflows with joy
The moment I am able to followThe Footsteps of my Lord Supreme.
```To my greatest joy I have become
The most faithful shadowOf my Lord’s Absolute Will.
```We can make no progress
If we do not keepOur spiritual health
In good condition. ```Alas, we love to feed
Our weaknessInstead of feeding
Our strength. ```My heart’s sincerity-cry
Melts God’sCompassion-flooded Heart.
```We help God considerably
When we accept the worldAs it is.
```I fail again and again
Precisely becauseMy aspiration is very frail.
```To conquer the world-heart,
I must either try againOr I must love the world more.
```God’s Victory-Chariot beckons
Only those who want to beHero-warriors.
```May my life live
On hope-rainbows. ```Amusement,
If it is innocent,Helps our aspiration-course.
```Faith is always pure
And crystal clear. ```I find peace and bliss
Only inMy Master’s silence-eye.
```A host of angels
Are extremely proud ofMy God-surrender-life.
```Extreme God-hunger
Is of paramount importanceTo expedite the spiritual journey.
```God’s Grace
Is always available,But we must long for it.
```Always believe that
God can appearAt any moment.
```My God-surrender-worship-instrument
I must playExtremely well.
```We quite often arrive
At God’s Door,But, alas, we do not knock.
```A clarity-mind
AndA spirituality-heart
Deeply enjoy their friendship. ```God tells me
Each heart of sacrificeIs, indeed, a spiritual castle.
```Ego dies only when
Our mind is eager to flyIn Infinity’s Sky.
```A real God-lover feels
There is no such thingAs sacrifice.
```Like a fruitful tree,
My aspiration-life has to branch outIn all directions.
```When I live in my soul,
I take every day as a Thanksgiving DayTo my Lord Supreme.
```There are many songs that I sing
Every day for God.He likes my gratitude-heart-song
By far the best. ```I think well of every human being,
But my love is only forMy Lord Beloved Supreme.
```The moment he sat
At the Master’s feet,He became
A totally reformed character. ```When enemies become
Real friends,Our joy is unfathomable.
```Not imagination, but true,
Absolutely true:We can hear the sound
Of our soul’s footsteps. ```Aspiration-starvation-days
Are bound to be followed byTorrential frustration-nights.
```Unconditional surrender
Is, indeed, an achievementFor Eternity.
```The word ‘failure’
Is no longer a realityIn my aspiration-climbing heart.
```My heart is all eagerness
To drinkEvery God-Love-drop.
```To listen soulfully
To God-Wisdom-LightIs to swim
In the ocean of delight. ```May my aspiration-heart-flames
Never enter intoThe world of extinction.
```Alas,
My mind does not seeWhen God arrives.
It only sees when God departs. ```When God arrives,
My heart sees and feelsThat God has not come alone —
Infinity’s ecstasiesHave accompanied Him.
```A life of true aspiration
Sees no gulf betweenThe inner aspiration-heart
AndThe outer dedication-life.
```The moment a soulful thought
Enters into the heart,It immediately starts to ride
On the waves of bliss. ```May God’s Name occupy
My inner earsAnd outer ears
Ceaselessly. ```God’s Creation
Is, indeed,His Dollhouse.
```Spiritual holidays
Are meant for more,Abundantly more,
Inner progress. ```My heart is burning
With eagernessTo please my Lord Supreme
At every moment. ```Drastically
The world must increaseIts inner hunger.
```There is not a single moment
When GodIs not watching us.
```If we want God’s honest opinion,
Then we shall have to beExtremely sincere
AndExtremely pure.
```God never believes in
Amusement-vacation.He believes only in
Enlightenment-vacation. ```There is only one person
Whom we can trust:God.
There is only one thingThat we can trust:
God’s Will. ```The doubting mind
Is always afraid ofGod’s Commands.
```Sleepless self-offering
Is a most effective approachTo pleasing God.
```Do not mingle
With ignorance-nightEven for a fleeting moment.
```Each heart-smile
Can beThe mind-problem-shooter.
```Those who sincerely care
What God has to sayWill definitely succeed in life.
```Even the unaspiring mind
Is at times temptedTo touch God’s Feet.
```The mind wants to declare
Its voice.The heart likes to treasure
God’s Choice. ```When we pay close attention
To God,Our God-separation-pangs disappear.

```The soul asks the heart
To go to GodAnd never to come back.

There is a special meaningTo everything that God says to us
And does for us. ```God wants
My sleeping enthusiasmAnd determination
To wake up. ```So much I long to know
About my Lord Supreme.Alas, so little I know.
```A heart of sympathy
Receives special BlessingsFrom God’s Satisfaction-Eye.
```God opens
His Forgiveness-DoorAnd forgets to close it.

His Heart’s partner. ```Pride never knows that
There shall come a timeWhen it will have to lie
In dust and ashes. ```Our eagerness-heart

I am beautifulOnly when
I inspire the world. ```God tells me that

```Where there is no imagination,

Not because of my outer voice,But because of my inner choice.
```Best aspiration:
Ego-extinction. ```Each aspiration-heart
IsA God-made castle.
```Patience ultimately shows us
That God is right here. ```Human incarnation:

```God wants me to have

```Inspiration runs.

```Gratitude has to be
A universal currency. ```I have employed my life
Only for one thing:God-realisation.
```The human mind
Desires education.The divine heart
Desires illumination. ```My proud mind
Tortures my heartDay in and day out.
```Aspiration

Carry me inward. ```Promises everybody makes.
Fulfilment is only forThe very few.
```I love to sit at God’s Feet,
But God wants me to sitOn His Shoulders.
```First fill your heart,
Then fulfil your promise. ```The world looks for capacity.
God looks for sincerity. ```A good start gives us joy.

```Self-doubt cannot

```The heart is always
On God’s Side,But quite often
The mind and the vitalAre on strike.
```Smiles illumine
My life. ```Tears sweeten
My heart. ```If there is no regularity,
No punctuality,Then our prayers and meditations
Will produceNext to no results.
```A dry mind
I was.A dew-heart
I am. ```We are bound to be attacked
By a swarm of worries and anxietiesIf our prayers and meditations
Are not sincere. ```We are undoubtedly victims
Of our doubtingAnd suspicious mind.
```Physical illness
Cannot destroyThe beauty and fragrance
Of our soul. ```Alas, we are afraid of

God’s highest Heights. ```A desire-mind
IsA disaster-life.
```Faith and patience
Are twins. ```Only our friendship
With GodNever ends.
```My life-desires cease
Only to increaseMy heart-speed.
```O my frustration-mind,
Why, for God’s sake,Do I have to see you
Everywhere? ```My compassionate Lord Supreme,
Why is it so difficultFor You to appear before me
Here and now,Why?
```The stronger
The aspiration,The closer
The Destination. ```Alas,
When will I be ableTo tell my Master
That he is my only saviour,When?
```A desire-mind

```An aspiration-heart
Is eager to enjoyIntimacy.
```If my God-obedience
Needs to ask “Why?”Then it is
The worst possible God-obedience. ```At God’s choice Hour
Everything is revealed —Nothing can remain concealed.
```My Lord Supreme dearly loves
God-willingnessAnd
God-eagerness-seekers. ```If I live
Inside my inner heart,Then for me there can be
No stranger. ```When I see God shedding tears
For my misdeeds,I ask myself,
“Is it really worth repeating my blunders?” ```Expectation-prisoners
AreThe worst possible sufferers.
```My heart,
Just give the worldWhat it wants
And then move onImmediately.
```Lethargy

AndEvery evening.
```God is never tired of
Answering my questions,But I become tired of
Listening to His AnswersAfter a fleeting minute.
```God asks man to listen.

```My happiness-days
Are not for my enjoymentBut for my enlightenment.
```God preserves my heart-tears
Most happilyAnd most proudly.
```The human in us wants to have
A mind of power.The divine in us wishes to have
A heart of love. ```If you cannot come out of
Ignorance-night,Then ask God for help —
He will definitelyCome to your rescue.
```Quite often

```I must practise my heart-exercises
Every morningAnd every evening.
```To my extreme joy,
My heart-tearsAre radically changing
My life. ```Optimism and enthusiasm
Are synonymous. ```God’s Victory
Is the universal languageOf all oneness-hearts.
```An optimist extols himself.
A pessimist buries himself. ```Alas, I find myself caught
BetweenEarth’s interference
AndHeaven’s indifference.
```Anything we do selflessly
Is bound to give usEnormous joy.
```I see God dancing
Behind my smiling. ```My unconditional surrender
To God’s WillIs a giant step
Towards world-elevation. ```My mind does not know
Where my heart-garden lives. ```If you are in love
With yourself,God will never be able

```On earth,
God’s only foodIs the smiles of His children.
```Every day
God wants me to weaveAt least one love-garland
For Him. ```I know who I am

When I am off stage. ```Just because God is my real Friend,
My only Friend,He does not want me to remain
In ignorance-sleep. ```The Silence from the higher worlds
Answers our prayersAnd nurtures our progress.
```The inner joy

```Fear and falsehood

```When our longing is genuine,

```If you are on God’s side,
You get everything.If God is on your side,
You get nothing. ```The mind calls it
A great responsibility.The heart calls it

```When the Referee
Blows the whistle,My doubt-mind
CrawlsAnd my faith-heart
Sprints. ```It is extremely difficult
For the mind to think and to believeThat God is for others

To feel and to declareThat God is for all,
And is not the sole monopolyOf any individual.
```Just a particle of hope

```If your inner cries are deep,
Then your outer smilesWill be most powerful.
```I must always stay
Very close toMy heart-home.
```It is simply useless

My heart’s faith-plants. ```When God beckons me,
I see myself at two different places:At the highest height
AndThe deepest depth.
```God wants to employ me
Only whenMy mind is full of poise.
```Manifestation
Built on humilityLasts
For a very, very, very long time. ```May my self-transcendence-eagerness
Never end. ```My prayer-inspiration
AndMy heart-aspiration
I deeply treasure. ```God loves me.
Therefore,I do not have to expect anything
From Him. ```In the spiritual life,
When you have a desire,Stagnation starts.
```Punctuality expedites
Our God-realisation. ```My God-devotion
Is the beauty and fragranceOf my heart.
```I must conquer
My ignorance-sleep,I must.
```My aspiration-day was born
The day I heardThe name of my Master.
```I must not see any more
False angelsAround me.
```The mind’s hostility begins
When the desire-lifeIs not fulfilled.
```Why are you afraid
Of looking at God?Is He an autocrat?
No, never! ```My soul and I have waited
A long timeFor this day —
The day of my mind’s transformation. ```Frustration,
No more.Enthusiasm,
More, ever more! ```The mind
Wants to ignore imperfections.The heart
Longs to cure imperfections. ```The mind questions
Not only GodBut His Goodness as well.
```The heart swims,
Soulfully and beautifully,In the ocean of
God’s Kindness and Goodness. ```O my mind,
I want to hear from you:Who has put you
In charge of my life? ```God most eagerly lives for
My wholehearted love. ```My spiritual breath
Has to be purifiedAnd intensified
At the same time. ```At long last
I am throwing myselfAt God’s Nectar-Feet.
```A ceaseless aspiration-heart
Is what I am supposed to be. ```The seeker’s mind does not know,
But the heart knows,When God comes and goes.
```Do not underestimate yourself
In anythingOr in any way.
```Each birthday
Reminds me ofGod’s Cosmic Play.
```Excitement
Can never beEnlightenment.
```God’s Feet
Are whereAll surrender-souls meet.
```Silence has
The most powerful capacityTo control Time.
```A bird without a song
Is a tragedy. ```Be brave! Be brave,
O my heart!You were born to be
God’s chosen childAnd not His slave.
```We must keep
Our God-receptivityIn very good condition.
```My peace-meditation
Is extremely close toMy Lord’s Heartbeat.
```The spiritual life
Is not a matter of understanding.It is a matter of self-offering
To God. ```God means
An endless supply ofEcstasy.
```Every day we suffer
Only from two things:Expectation and attachment.
```Every day
God’s Eye brings me toHis Heart-Home.
```Do not deny God.
Do not defy God.Your suffering will be
Everlasting. ```Every morning
I ignite my heartWith my prayerful
And soulful gratitude. ```Wherever you walk,
Follow your soul. ```No matter how difficult
The spiritual life is,Do not turn back.
```Only a fool would hide
From his only real Friend:God.
```I am changing my life
Only for one reason:To improve my life.
```Thirst only for one thing:
God’s Compassion. ```Disobedience is
InevitableFuture danger.
```Everything I do
Is in the interest ofMy all-illumining soul.
```No criticism-attacks
Can shatter my faithIn God.
```We can liberate ourselves
From fate-netOn the strength of
Our constant love of God. ```Happiness
IsA God-blossoming rose.
```When I love the world unconditionally,
God binds meWith His strongest Affection-Rope.
```A God-loving soul
Is a sleepless callFor God.
```I must cast aside
The flickering shadowsOf my mind.
```There is only one non-stop flight
From our aspiration-heartTo Heaven’s Heart-Home.
```Disobedience
Is nothing short ofAn exploding bomb.
```Cast aside
Your inner hostilityTowards the God-loving seekers.
```The real failure:
A man servingHis own stupidity.
```God favours him
Because he cannot live,Even for a fleeting moment,
Without God’s PresenceIn his heart.
```Frustration is
Another name forFutility.
```Offer yourself to
Your devotion-life. ```Whatever is beautiful
In your lifeTry to make invincible.
```I intimidate
Ignorance-nightWith my world-oneness-heart.
```Nothing can ever be
Beyond the reach ofMy soulful prayer.
```There is nothing equal to
A genuine heart’sGenuine cry.
```Gratitude is
My soul-beauty’s heart-flower. ```Unwillingness becomes
Disobedience-destruction-fire. ```A purity-mind
Sees purityAll-where.
```The holiness of human life
Is at the Feet ofOur Lord Supreme.
```To have faith
Is to extinguishHesitation-fire.
```No matter how wise we are,
No matter how educated we are,Before God
We are all nursery-school students. ```The inner hope sails.
The outer expectation fails. ```I am changing my name
From an ingratitude-lifeTo a gratitude-heart.
```A gratitude-heart will always be
The first-place finisherIn the Heavenward race.
```Do not allow your life-train
To carry onlyDesire-passengers.
```The unaspiring mind has
Only one philosophy:Doom-philosophy.
```Jealousy is
Nothing short ofAn inner explosive bomb.
```The heart has
Very successfulAssimilation-power.
```Not by praying,
Not by meditating,But by surrendering my all,
I have developedThe strongest affection-bond
With my Lord Supreme. ```My self-adulation
Is forced to waneBy my Inner Pilot.
```I have asked purity
To take me by the hand,And purity has come
To my rescue. ```I am releasing my mind
Into my Lord’sInfinite Love-Ocean.
```God does not change
His DreamFor anybody on earth.
```Aspiration very affectionately
And compassionatelyTeaches us to fly
Heavenward. ```No matter how gently
Or how powerfullyGod asks the mind
To be a seeker,The mind does not listen.
```My heart grows blind
The moment I doubtThe existence of
My Lord Supreme. ```My soul appears before me
Only to cureMy burning desire-fever.
```Gazing into the future,
I see a column of Light. ```God gets tremendous joy
When He tellsHis sweet children
About Himself. ```I am leaving
Yesterday’s blundersTo history.
```I must terminate
My doubt-friendshipHere and now.
```I must make
My morning prayersA must.
```Patience needs
Much appreciationFrom us.
```In my God-gratitude-heart-temple,
I am trying to growAnd glow.
```Ambition-path
Leads usTo eventual suffering.
```Desire is always
ReluctantTo leave us.
```Utter disappointment-station
Is the final destinationFor expectation-train.
```God will always help us
In establishingA oneness-heart-home.
```May my enthusiasm-mind
Fly in the skyOf Infinity.
```Ignorance has torn
My service-lifeApart.
```Do not fall
Into the abyss of pride. ```There is no depth
In an unaspiring life. ```My Lord Supreme wants me
To runStraight towards Him.
```The mind
Foolishly lovesIts zigzag road.
```My Lord of Compassion
Always loves me —What I have
And what I am. ```My surrender-life
Has multipliedMy Lord’s Love
For me. ```I do not fear
Because I am in GodAnd for God.
```Every day
I invoke confidenceTo enter into my life.
```The surrender-road
Has been waiting for meFor a long time.
```The mind takes heavy steps —
This is the only wayIt can walk.
```I can no longer brook
My Lord’s withdrawal. ```I must devour
My anxiety-monster. ```I must place my heart
And my life,Like flower petals,
At my Lord’s Feet. ```Alas,
Receptivity-bankruptcyIs my new name!
```If you do not obey God,
You will have a broken heartOf repentance.
```Day in and day out
I am searching forMy inner sun.
```Beg like a sincere beggar.
You are boundTo receive.
```With words
We cannot teach othersHow to pray.
```My Lord,
Your strongest WillIs my only desire.
```God knows my desires
Long beforeThey are born.
```It is our inner depth
That criesFor the divine Light.
```Be the listener first,
And only thenBe the speaker.
```May my life
Be betweenThe sunrise-beauty
AndThe sunset-peace.
```I keep
My God-fulfilment-promise aliveEvery single day.
```Endurance-capacity
IsOf paramount importance.
```If we do not search
With our heart,Nothing can be found.
```My heart is dreaming of
A never-ending sunrise. ```We must drink deep
From silence-delight. ```The morning rose
Is beautiful.The evening jasmine
Is peaceful. ```Heavenly visions
DescendTo adorn my sleep.
```If our tears are sincere,
Then they cannot be imprisonedBy the mind.
```Sincerity can fly.
Insincerity has to crawl. ```I am asking my sadness
To leave me alone. ```My Lord is a stranger
To my mind-degrees. ```My Lord is a stranger
To my ego-trophies. ```A negativity-mind
Is the beginning ofDestruction.
```A God-loving heart
Can easily meditate well. ```My Lord Supreme has buried alive
My disproportionate prideToday.
```My heart-tears
Can easily feelMy heartbeats.
```The doubt-dancer
BeginsBut never wants
To stop. ```Humility and progress
Go together. ```My Lord,
Please count on meWhenever You need anything
From me. ```A heart of gratitude
IsA soul-reward.
```Only a true God-lover
Can remain always happy. ```One peaceful moment
Feeds meFor an entire day.
```I want to remain
Inside my heart-templeAnd nowhere else.
```A sincerity-heart
Is not to be foundEverywhere.
```I am searching
For the heartIn everything.
```Sincerity gives
A very special thrillInside everybody’s heart.
```The world needs my help
Desperately.I must extend my hand
And my heart. ```To my greatest joy,
My Lord is proudOf my perpetual inner progress.
```Not under the pressure of fear
But under the pressure of loveI go and visit my Lord Supreme.
```The soul can remain
UntouchedBy outer turbulence.
```My heart-hunger increases
When I place myselfAt the Feet of my Lord Supreme.
```Faith is futile
When love is missing. ```My Lord Supreme,
Do illumine my lifeFrom every angle.
```My Lord,
I need Your Compassion-EyeTo free my heart
From the grip of worries and anxieties. ```May my heart’s fulness
Flourish unnoticed. ```At long last
I have found my wayTo my heart-home.
```Since the beginning of Time,
The inner silenceAnd not the outer sound
Has been prevailing. ```My soul’s dream-horizons
Never end. ```If our faith in God
Is genuine,Nobody can tarnish it.
```My Lord,
I owe You everything —Plus my very existence,
And more! ```My Lord,
May I have a heart of prayerfulAnd soulful sweetness.
```May my day and my night
Be nourishedWith my heart’s progress-delight.
```God’s Compassion
Has a way ofWorking things out.
```I love equally
God’s PunishmentAnd
His Appreciation. ```A seeker’s most glaring fault
Is that he thinks he knowsEverything.
```Never give up
Your self-transcendence ideal. ```We inwardly live by
What we outwardly give. ```Our minds are as old
As our doubts and anxieties. ```Do not think of past failures
AndDo not think of future fears.
```My heart drinks God-willingness
In abundanceEvery day.
```Only a happiness-smile
From our heartCan cure our outer life.
```I wish to grow
Only whereMy Lord plants my life.
```Fast, very fast,
We fall.Slow, very slow,
We climb. ```Ignorance cannot have
Any authorityOver my life.
```I am so happy
That finally my devotionIs emerging.
```Alas,
I do not knowHow I can be so badly caught
In attachment-wave! ```When we are happy,
We scatter peace-petalsEverywhere.
```My heart needs
AbsorptionIn my Lord Supreme.
```The heart is amazed
When the mind obeys God. ```I am lighting
My heart-candleWith my devotion-match.
```Devotion is
A God-pleasing achievement. ```I love
A rainbow-spreading delight-smileMore than I can express.
```Every day we need
God-protection-prayers. ```Gratitude always feels
God’s Miracle-PresenceIn life.
```My Beloved Supreme
Is onlyA devotion-breath away.
```God hopes to see
Only one thing:A oneness-heart-world.
