Every day I pray to God
To teach meHis Heart-Language.
```Believe, believe!
If you believe,God will soon
Open your eyes. ```The day God appeared in my life,
I immediately felt thatHe was not only my real Friend,
But also my only Friend. ```Every day
I strengthen my faithIn my Lord Supreme.
```Every day
I energise my lifeWith my love of God.
```I shall wait for
My Lord’s Arrival,No matter how many centuries
It takes. ```Like a child, I must give
Everything that I haveAnd everything that I am
To my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```God’s Command
Is the only joyAnd only pride in my life.
```Only a heart of constant surrender
Is allowed to sit in the LapOf my Lord Supreme.
```God is more than eager
To speak on my behalfAbout what I am doing
Here on earth. ```I do not know
How God still tolerates me.Unconsciously, even consciously,
I have spoken ill of Him. ```Anything that God cherishes
Is also the objectOf my adoration.
```God-fulfilment-promises
Never grow old. ```Alas,
Is there anybody on earthWhose path does not zigzag?
```How can there be
Any satisfaction in my lifeIf I do not please God
Every day, every hourAnd every minute
In His own Way? ```My Lord, do tell me,
When will You make meA member of Your Inner Circle?
```God-servers are my only
Brothers and sistersIn my aspiration-life.
```The more I think of God,
The sooner all my misunderstandingsLeave me.
```Doubt I have seen.
Doubt I have felt.Again, doubt is the thing
That I have totally rejected. ```Who can be worthy of God’s Love?
Nobody.But we can at least try
To be reliable for HimIn so many ways.
```We must not barter
Our love of GodFor anything else.
```God’s Heart repeatedly knocks
At my heart-door.Alas, my heart-door remains
Unanswered. ```My Lord has given me
His own HeartbeatTo play a special role
In His Cosmic Drama. ```My Lord,
What is my first necessity?“My child,
Self-offering to MeIs your first necessity.”
```Do not delay!
Choose the side you wantIn life’s tug-of-war.
```God-separation
Is the most painful sufferingTo a seeker.
```As we travel along the path
Of love, devotion and surrender,We receive abundant Light and Bliss
From Above. ```Ego-gratification
IsAspiration-heart-starvation.
```I refuse to be the slave
Of my desire-lifeAny more.
```When God comes first,
Everything in lifeIs fed by aspiration.
```I have infinite cries.
God has giant StridesTo come and console me.
```Every second
God is desperately tryingTo train me
In His own Heart-Gym. ```We must cherish —
More than our life itself —The dust of God’s Feet.
```Continue moving forward.
Life is, indeed,A forward march.
```Simplicity
Is the most powerful beginningOf spirituality.
```Day in and day out
I must take the sideOf God’s Vision-Eye.
```Purity
Ushers inThe God-Victory.
```Only Divinity’s
Compassion-flooded SmileAppeals to me and my heart.
```My surrender
IsMy God-closeness-reality.
```Each day we must try
To ascend to a higher summit-heightTo make God extremely happy
And extremely proud of us. ```God is always trying
To make meA true and unalloyed seeker.
```To my great sorrow,
Is there any dayI do not mistreat God?
```The beauty of nature
Puts us to sleepAnd helps us enjoy
Beautiful dreams. ```The fragrance of nature
Awakens usTo look Above and bring down
God’s Compassion-AffectionIn boundless measure.
```He who can live in the heart
Of the Eternal NowIs the chosen instrument
Of God. ```If my heart is full of love,
Then no outer bad qualitiesCan mar it.
```Time stops
Long before I imagineThe Golden Feet
Of my Lord Supreme. ```In my life’s aspiration-race,
One day I shall definitely be ableTo see
My Lord’s sacred Face. ```When I see clearly
That my Lord does not need me,Yet He showers me with His Blessings,
Affection, Love and Sweetness,I become happier than the happiest.
```The heart that has become
Inseparably one with God’s WillEnjoys freedom within and without.
```Every morning
I replenish my treasuryOf God-loving tears.
```Slowly and steadily
I am coming out ofMy insecurity-sea.
```I must have my feet
Solidly plantedOn the path of faith
If I want God to claim meAs His own, very own.
```Close your mind’s eye.
Open your heart’s eye.Look! Ineffable beauty from Above
Is welcoming you. ```May my mind be doubt-proof
So that my mind and my heartCan sing sleeplessly
God’s Victory-Songs. ```Each time I think of God,
I am overwhelmed byThe Sweetness-Beauty
Of His Eye. ```Because my faith is growing
Stronger and stronger,I am able to come
Closer and closerTo God’s Feet.
```Hours seem as fleeting moments
When I drink deep the BeautyOf my Lord’s Eye.
```When I desire
To see God’s Face,I use my heart-eye.
```When God wants
To see my heart,He uses His Vision-Eye.
```The only journey that matters
Is my heart’sHeavenward journey.
```I need to take
A deeper and longer lookAt myself
Before I knock at God’s Heart-Door. ```When we work for
Our God-discovery,There is no such thing
As overtime. ```Self-offering
Is the secret codeOf inseparable oneness.
```We must help purity
To increase its popularity. ```One thing I notice
Everywhere in this world,And that is peace-poverty.
```May my God-longing
Heart-incenseBurn and burn and burn,
And never stop burning. ```God wants me to enjoy
Partnership with Him,But I love to enjoy
My God-worship. ```Again and again
I sleeplessly beg GodTo take ownership
Of my life. ```I do not have to know my future.
My future I have placed lovingly,Soulfully and self-givingly
At the Feet of my Lord Supreme. ```My soul came into the world
To radiate happinessHere, there and everywhere.
```God wants each human being
To be the sunshineFor the entire world.
```Each prayer has the capacity
To strengthenMy God-loving hunger-cry.
```If my mind does not listen
To my soul,Then it will one day vanish
Into the mists of obscurity. ```We must always give
Our purity-heartThe right of way.
```Is there anybody
Who has not takenYears of preparation
To satisfy God in His own Way? ```God gives me His celestial Gifts
With open Arms,And He expects me likewise
To give Him an open heart. ```When I asked God over the phone
For Forgiveness,He said He was eagerly waiting
For a call from me. ```Does God ever
Do anythingTo delay our God-realisation?
No, never! ```I was eagerly watching God
Shattering my ego-machine. ```God never gives up
My life-transformation-responsibility,No matter what I do or what I say.
```When my God-yearning heart
Looks for God’s Light,He immediately
Shows me His LightEverywhere.
```We are aware of the fact
That we at times feedOur worries and anxieties.
```Today
God wants me to beHis newness-life-partner.
```Tomorrow
God will want me to beHis fulness-heart-partner.
```The outer suffering
Comes to an endWhen we turn ourselves
Towards the inner light. ```God’s solemn Promise
To each and every one is this:He will never withdraw
His Love from us. ```God’s Compassion
Carries its ownAbsolute Will-Power.
```God is all loving
To my surrender-life. ```We do not deserve God.
We can only faithfully preserve GodIn our aspiration-heart.
```God at His own Hour
Will bless us.This God-Hour
Is far beyond our ken. ```A self-giving life flies up
Only to seeThat God has kept His Heart-Door
Wide open. ```This world has countless things
In endless measureSave and except one thing:
Gratitude. ```My God-service
Is nothing short ofMy God-Delight-experience.
```I invoke the presence
Of a rainbow-dreamAnd revoke the license
Of the darkness-night. ```Each divine thought helps me
Spread happiness-sunshineFrom my heart.
```At the time of selection
God invariably choosesOur intense God-hunger-heart.
```Only an unconditional life
Can offer to the worldThe peak performance
Of its gratitude-heart. ```I am waiting for the day
When my Lord SupremeWill inundate this world
With Peace-BeautyAnd Bliss-Fragrance.
```Are you desperate for God’s Love?
Then give up immediatelyYour self-love-exhibit.
```In the spiritual life,
Random thinkingI must shun.
```The glow of a purity-heart
Is exceptionally beautiful. ```Desire
Does not want to seeAnything that is sunlit.
```My God-service
Is the only thingThat is keeping me alive.
```Serious stories
God does not enjoy,But He does enjoy
Humorous stories. ```Pride thinks
It is always right. ```I am sure God will feed
My God-manifestation-hunger. ```My Lord,
My heart is cryingFor any role
In Your Cosmic Play. ```God will steer my boat
Only if He seesThat I am all for Him.
```When the mind lectures,
It forgets to stop. ```God Himself tells the heart
When to start the songAnd when to stop.
```If you feel
The Presence of God clearly,Then you can go to any extreme.
```God came into my heart-room
Only to find that my heartHad gone outdoors.
```If we really love our Master,
And if our Master really loves us,Then our hearts can never, never
Grow old. ```Disobedience
Is God’sWorst adversary.
```God has forgotten
To closeHis Compassion-Door.
```God has given me many chances.
How can I not give GodAnother chance?
```My goodness and badness
God accepts equallyWith Joy and Concern.
```In my heart-sky
I see nothingBut ecstasy-stars.
```To make me
A choice instrument of His,God moves Heaven and earth.
```God tells me that
I need direct Messages from HimAnd not indirect Messages.
```I have simplified my life
To amplifyMy soul’s messages
To poor earth. ```God tells me that I must value
The presence of my soulAnd give my soul
The right of way. ```I would like to be chosen
By my Inner PilotAnd not by the outer world.
```God pretends to be looking
Somewhere else,But actually,
He is looking into my heartAnd desperately working
For my fastest progress. ```Someday I am sure
My thousand-petalled inner sunWill burst forth.
```I do not pray for a safe road.
I pray for infinitely more courageThan I now have.
```Each prayer-day of mine
Is a golden opportunityTo come closer and closer
To God. ```I shall never allow my heart-sky
To be devouredBy thick clouds.
```All my sorrows have come to an end.
Why?Because my soul has now
Full control of my life. ```God is always prepared
To walk aloneIf the world does not
Accompany Him. ```The mind is changeable.
The heart is lovableAnd adorable.
```Our downfall begins
When we claimThe body, vital and mind
As our polestar. ```Whenever God speaks
To my mind,My heart becomes
Unimaginably happy. ```Whenever God speaks
To my heart,My mind simply revolts.
```My heart-door
Welcomes everyone —It knows no strangers.
```There is a constant race going on
Between my mind’s hungerFor God-possession
And my heart’s hungerFor total submission.
```When we want to claim
Anything or anybodyOther than God,
We dig our immediate grave. ```Self-doubt means
My backward march. ```To have faith
In my own inner existenceIs to fly like a bird
High, higher, highest. ```Think at least ten times
Before you act,If you are inspired
To run away from God. ```God wants me
To forgive myselfAs soon as possible.
```If you believe in God
Most sincerely,Then He will definitely
Come to your rescue. ```Alas, God sees me
As another God,Whereas I see myself
As a most insignificant creature. ```Our mind’s anger-weapon
Is extremely dangerous. ```May my whole existence
Be rooted in conscious onenessWith my Inner Pilot.
```My soul happily and proudly
Greets meEach time I arrive
At my heart-door. ```God does not come alone.
He comes with His Satisfaction-HeartTo bless me most powerfully.
```God comes to me
To see my willingness-mind.Alas, each time He comes,
He is forced to seeMy unwillingness
And ingratitude-mind. ```I wish to live
A God-serving lifeAnd not an earth-fortunate life.
```Time either destroys
Or weakensThe evil forces.
```When God comes to me,
I must show HimThat my life is an open book
And not a closed book. ```I came into the world not to please
Multitudes of people,But to please only one Individual:
God. ```I simply lose consciousness
When God comes to meWith His breathtaking Beauty
And Fragrance. ```God wants me to take
A heart-improvement-courseAnd not a mind-improvement-course.
```My soul is forcing me
To studyIn God’s Heart-School.
```Each self-giving moment
IsA God-pleasing heart-excellence.
```I am tearing myself away
From world-flattery. ```Our body, vital, mind and heart
Must work togetherTo catch the doubt-thief
Inside the mind. ```Alas,
Depression isA revolving door.
```God does not approve
Of my austerity-life. ```I must try
To disentangle myselfFrom all earthly worries
And anxieties. ```Each pure moment
In my lifeIs a sure smile
In God’s Eye. ```A self-giving heart
Has alwaysA free access to God.
```Our very first duty
Is to accept the worldAnd not shun the world.
```At every moment
I must occupy myselfWith divine and illumining thoughts.
```I am waiting most eagerly
For my inner light to come to the foreAnd be of service to the entire world.
```I dive deep within
With each God-surrendering breath. ```If needed, I am prepared
To wait for centuriesTo realise God
In God’s own Way. ```I am saying my last farewell
To my mind and all its doubts. ```First dive immediately,
And then if you have to think,Think.
```God’s Compassion is all-where.
We do not have to goTo a special place
To feel it. ```Every day we must pass
Our love-of-God examination. ```I must see
Each and every human beingThrough my open heart-window.
```I have been brought down
To love only one Individual:My Beloved Inner Pilot.
```I must find myself
All the timeIn my heart’s inner tranquillity.
```A selfless life is satisfied
With practically nothing. ```My morning meditation
Is the timeWhen I feel I belong
Only to God. ```Too much self-reliance
Quite often grows intoGod-defiance.
```I derive satisfaction
Only from my deep, soulfulAnd fruitful meditation.
```I have drunk deep
God’s Nectar-Delight.Now I am all ready
To serve God in humanity. ```My soul takes
My progress-report cardAnd shows it
To my Lord Supreme. ```When I tell God
That I am only for HimAnd for nobody else,
Then my life becomesAn all-loving river
Of light and delight. ```If you are running
Very fastIn the inner world,
Never allow yourselfTo slow down.
```Our life has not only
Endless possibilities,But also endless opportunities.
```An ever-expanding
Hope-beautyMy life needs every day.
```Do not allow the mind
Even to be near youWhen you meditate.
```Do not allow the mind
To catch your heart’sCeaseless tear-flow.
```God does not want me
To send my aspirationBy mail.
He wants me to carryMy aspiration directly.
```If we do not depend on God
At every moment,We shall never be successful
In our spiritual life. ```My dawn has to be
Full of devotion.Only then will my heart be flooded
With the sunrise-beauty. ```God wants me to inspire the world
With my heart’s goodnessAnd not with my mind’s greatness.
```I am mightily happy
When my Lord asks meTo perform
Even a simple task. ```My Lord operates my heart
With His Compassion-HeightAnd not with His Justice-Light.
```When my heart has purity
In abundance,I see my heart flying
High, higher, highest,Like an angel.
```Complaining about others
Is the surest way of wastingOne’s precious time.
```Be not a seeker
Of short-lived promiseTo manifest God.
```I cannot see God
With my human eyes,But I can feel Him
With my human heart. ```The God-lovers
And the God-serversMust live together,
Meditate togetherAnd please God together.
```I must have full faith
In my Lord SupremeThat He will do everything
For me, in and through me,In His own Time.
```Faith is the only power
That can conquerAll our adversities.
```Since God does not believe
In retirement,I also do not believe
In retirement. ```Smiling days come
To chase awayDepression-nights.
```There is not a single question
That cannot be answeredBy the silence of my heart.
```Remain always hopeful.
God is bound to appearBefore you.
```Every day make time
To cultivate gratitude. ```My Lord,
If something pleases You,Then I am all for it.
```If we have only one Goal,
Then definitely we shall arriveAt that Goal sooner or later.
```I do not need two empty eyes,
But I do need an empty heartFor God to fill.
```Yesterday my Lord wanted me
To be the hope-dream,And I did become.
```Today my Lord wants me
To be the promise-reality.I have become.
```My Lord,
Can You not seeThat I am all alone?
Why do You have to hide? ```My Lord,
The Sweetness of Your EyeHas permeated my entire being.
```How can I miss anything,
Since nothing has come from me? ```To satisfy God
Is within my capacity,But alas, to satisfy mankind
Is an impossible task. ```I must disown the ferocious tiger
Deep within meAnd become a mild and tender lamb.
```Everything of God I treasure,
But I treasure God’s Forgiveness-FeetMost.
```To realise God,
No austerity-cave is needed. ```Each divine thought
Is my only breath-mantra. ```Desires and sorrows
Do not want to remain together. ```Devotion-intensity
Is the fastest speedIn the spiritual life.
```From now on,
My hands will only beFor God-service.
```A single heart-tear of mine
Can bring my LordInto all my problems.
```Obedience
Is the very startOf our journey.
```Obedience
Has to be brought intoOur day-to-day activities.
```I have no idea
Which is more intense:My love of God
Or my devotion to God. ```I have two prayers:
To burn my God-desire-fireDuring the entire day;
To see my Lord SupremeFace to face.
```Heaven’s Compassion-Hand
Touches everyone’s heartAnd never misses anyone.
```Peace we want
Without the smile of oneness.It is an impossible task.
```God does not mind
If I fail in the race,But He does mind
If I do not have and keepThe right attitude.
```My Lord,
Do You really identify YourselfWith what I do
And with what I do not do?“My child,
What else can I do?” ```The Destination is for everyone,
But alas, only one in a millionBelieves.
```My Lord Supreme says to me
That He is going to give meA mind of purity, a heart of sincerity
And a life of God-eagerness. ```God’s Heart-Home
Every day invites me,But I prefer to live inside
My mind’s cave.Alas, I do not accept the Invitation.
```The mind does not believe
In discovery.It believes only in invention.
```A thinker can never be
The winnerIn the inner race.
```For a God-lover,
No matter who or where he is,God sends a beautiful angel
To take care of him. ```To my great joy,
My life has becomeA very rapid Heaven-ascent.
```No outer influence
Will ever be able to shakeMy inner calm.
```To have a perfect aspiration-heart,
We must breathe in only one thing:God’s Grace.
```We think we surrender to God.
It is not true.God has already surrendered
To our God-unwillingness-mind. ```To be a saint
Is to raise the consciousnessOf the entire humanity.
```The ego
Is uselessFrom every point of view.
```My Lord, if I fail to pray to You
Even for a single day,Then do ignore me
To Your Heart’s content. ```If I feel God’s Presence all the time
In the very depths of my heart,I do not need anything else,
Either from the outer worldOr from the inner world.
```Sleeplessly and breathlessly
If we do not invoke God,God remains in the blue of His Skies.
```We make no sacrifices.
We just make our love of GodMore sincere.
```I must simplify my life
And purify my heartSooner than at once.
```My devotion-tears
Do have the powerTo bring God closer and closer
To me. ```God is pleased with me
Only when I have bound HimCompletely.
```May my meditation-heart
And my prayer-eyesChase away my desire-life.
```When I try to do
Something good for mankind,I get overwhelming Support
From my Inner Pilot. ```I tell God
Not to forget me. ```God tells me
Not to ignore Him. ```God-dreams blossom
Extremely fastWhen the mind enjoys
A deep sleep. ```My destiny’s soul
Is my adamantine will-power. ```I have been searching
For one thing:God’s Peace-Tower.
```Desires go and come back.
This is the desire-game. ```Aspiration goes upward
And upward.It carries with it
A one-way ticket. ```Each divine thought
Is a sweet awakeningOf our heart.
```Earth-challenges
Heaven takesAs an amusement park.
```The mind
Does not want to remainDuty-bound.
```The heart knows
Only one thing:God’s express Command.
```A true seeker has only one aim:
God has to be pleasedFirst and foremost.
```The mind does not know
What true happiness is. ```What is most painful is that
The mind thinks that it knowsWhat true happiness is.
```When I become
My heart’s burning cry,Only then will God come
And stand right in front of me. ```My heart’s purity-joy
Can never be marred. ```Desire-flames
Never want to be extinguished. ```Each time I keep my mind silent,
My heart-bird fliesTo a very high altitude.
```I can make each minute
Beautiful, soulful, cheerfulAnd fruitful
If I maintain my inner happiness. ```Solitude can never be
A real escape. ```Every day God sends
Countless letters of hopeTo aspiring humanity.
```God tells me that
His Compassion and my affectionAre both invaluable.
```When we please God,
He shows us the wayThat has no dead end.
```My high consciousness
Knows no ‘if’, ‘but’ or ‘why’. ```Each time God smiles at me,
I feel His Smile becomes sweeterAnd more powerful.
```This morning my Lord
Has blessed me withAn insatiable God-hunger-heart.
```My aspiration-heart
Is bound to be crownedBy my soul’s beauty and fragrance.
```If we cannot chastise the mind
For its wrongdoing,Then we shall never be able
To bring about world harmony. ```Every day God whispers
Into my ears,“My child, surcharge your heart
With the most powerful joy.” ```Each divine thought
Inspires us to walk alongThe rainbow-dawn-road.
```God wants me
To faithfully write downHis world-transformation-Dictates.
```The world gives me
Doubt-poison. ```My Lord blesses me
With faith-antidote. ```If I want to please God,
Then I must give HimMost cheerfully
Each breath of my heart. ```Unlike your mind,
Do not try to hide from God.God is all Love,
God is all Compassion,God is all Forgiveness.
```God’s universal Beauty
Awakens, illumines and fulfilsOur own divinity.
```God suffers when He sees that
We are not paying any attentionTo breaking asunder
Our earthly bondage-chains. ```My heart-devotion
And my mind-frustrationCan never be found together.
```To surrender to anybody
Other than GodIs the height of the seeker’s stupidity.
```When my heart sheds
Tears of gratitude to God,My soul starts dancing
In ineffable ecstasy. ```Each time I compromise,
I am forced to beHundreds of miles away
From Divinity’s highest height. ```I have access to God’s Heart-Home
Only when I obeyHis Heart-Whispers.
```We are all lonely
For our soul’sGod-Infinity-Vision-Light.
```I must value each moment,
For each moment is a golden opportunityFor me to realise God.
```I do not need the eye of certainty.
I need only the heart of certaintyTo know if I am really pleasing
My Lord Supreme in His own Way. ```God tells me that
My God-love must shineIn each part of my being.
```God’s Love is the only thought
That permeatesMy whole life.
```The human mind
Has no open windows.They are all closed.
```When we have
A very deep meditation,God blesses us
With His Eternity’s Breath. ```Each human being
Is compelled to take partIn the Cosmic Play.
```Inside the heart of night
There is definitelyA streak of light.
```Life marches forward.
Achievements comeAnd meet life.
```Hope is always there
To encourage usAnd inspire us.
```I always speak
To my MasterWith tears of love and devotion.
```The power of the heart
Conquers the worldWith self-offering.
```If you look out
With empty eyes,How can you see light
Anywhere? ```When we speak in silence,
We see GodSinging and dancing
For our great achievement. ```Ignorance-night
EmbodiesDeathless opposition.
```Peace and Bliss
Are the divine parentsOf Mother Earth.
```I am praying to God
For a secret and sacred touchOf the compassion-flooded
Mother Earth. ```O pilgrim on Eternity’s Road,
March on, march on!Do not give in, do not give in!
```Each soul is endowed
With unique qualitiesAnd capacities.
```When we take birth,
We enjoyA beautiful cradle.
```When we leave the world,
We enjoyA peaceful cradle.
```The morning stars
Are my fate-makers. ```Cheerfulness, soulfulness
And onenessGrow slowly and steadily
In the heart of Time. ```Patience and perseverance
Are the two main secretsOf our nature’s transformation.
```Silence descends
From the highestSummit-Reality.
```Those who do not pray and meditate
Are bound to haveHeavy and empty time-vessels.
```I can do it. I must do it.
Lo, I have done it —I have touched the Feet
Of my Lord Supreme. ```When we pray and meditate,
We expedite the birthOf beautiful heart-blossoms.
```May my love of God
Be as eternalAs the Cosmic Law.
```What I want
Is a silence-communication,Empty of words and deeds.
```Only the eye of faith
Can see the universeUnmistakably.
```Gratitude-heart-flowers
Are very rare. ```May my life-breath
Be surchargedWith the light of spirituality.
```The pride of the mind
And the humility of the heartCan never be reconciled.
```The silence and beauty
Of the sunriseInspire me to commune
With the Unknowable. ```Life is constantly blossoming,
Either in the inner worldOr in the outer world.
```When I pray,
The morning birdsSing with me.
```When I meditate,
The evening starsDance with my heart.
```My Lord, please tell me
How long will my world —Inner and outer —
Suffer from Your Absence? ```I must leave behind
All human boundariesTo enter into the divine world
Of Infinity. ```No life
Should take the mindAs its boss.
```If we live in the heart,
Only then can we valueOur life.
```Do not delay!
Start with new enthusiasm,New inspiration and new aspiration.
```My Lord,
I love Your Sound-Light,But I love Your Silence-Delight
Infinitely more. ```Alas, I do not know
How long the worldWill remain as hostile
As it is now! ```I must pray,
Not only for myself,But also for those
Who do not care to pray. ```There is only one essential prayer:
“My Lord,Let Thy Will be done.”
```I am looking for God,
While God is lookingAt me!
```The only way to pray better
Is to shed heart-tearsWhile praying.
```Every morning
My soul helps me batheIn the sea of silence.
```God does not speak
When He sees thatHumanity does not care
For His Advice. ```No risk, no life.
No life, no God-manifestation. ```There are so many roads
That lead to satisfaction.I have chosen
The surrender-road. ```Be not afraid of failure.
Cultivate an adamantine will.Immediately it will take you
Forward, upward, inward. ```While praying,
Do not forgetThe presence of humility
Inside your heart. ```Meditation
Is the only dutyThat a God-lover has.
```The heart that cries for God
Can easily haveCeaseless God-gratitude.
```A purity-heart
Feels God’s PresenceEverywhere.
```By being hard on yourself
You can accomplishNothing significant.
```Disciple and Master:
Two bodies with one heartAnd one soul.
```To make mistakes
Does not indicateA failure-life.
```You must follow your dreams
Lovingly and faithfully,If you want to arrive
At Reality’s Shore. ```Inside my prayers and meditations,
I see my Lord’sTears of Joy
And Smiles of Pride. ```Not the voice of reverence,
But the heart of devotionWe need
To please our Lord Supreme. ```He who cannot dare
To begin againWill end in a failure-life.
```To transcend curiosity,
We must remain in the beautyOf our heart-garden.
```God is blissful
And neverForgetful.
```Each soulful breath
IsA new heart-expansion.
```When I play my prayer-flute,
I see my LordCompassionately looking at me.
```When I meditate in silence,

```May my love of God
Every dayBe more and more intensified.
```My Lord’s Heart-Home

A special meaningIn each event of our life.
```I do not know how and why
So oftenFear creeps into my heart.
```God’s Forgiveness-Land

Will grow into loving heartsTomorrow.
```The bird of your heart
Will fly to God’s Heart-HomeAnd show you the way.
```What a mystery!
When I invoke God,He does not come.
But He comes uninvokedAnd sits on my heart’s throne
Happily and proudly. ```Now that I am all for God,
God has sounded His Victory-GongMost powerfully.
```When I started looking for God,
I had not the slightest ideaThat it would be so easy
To find Him. ```Every morning sees a new arrival
Of my Lord SupremeInside my gratitude-heart.
```How I wish I could claim God
The way He claims me —All the time —
As His own, very own. ```Every morning
My heart gallopsWith new hopes.
```Every night
My soul gallopsWith new dreams.
```I cast aside
All the thoughts in my head,But alas,
They return in no time! ```My mind needs
Enthusiasm-flood. ```My heart needs
Aspiration-mountain. ```I need aspiration, dedication,
Love, devotion, surrenderAnd gratitude
In boundless measure. ```Quite often
We are afraid to be unpopular.Therefore, we adopt foul means.
```Cleverness quite often
Is caughtAnd then realises how stupid it is!
```New opportunities
Are bound to dawn —Just keep your heart-door
Wide open. ```My eyes are, indeed,
In one place,But my heart
Is everywhere. ```When I do not pray and meditate,
I find myself betweenMy mind’s cleverness
AndMy body’s idleness.
```Prayerful tears
Are not only beautifulBut also blissful.
```Give away all your love
To humanity.Rest assured, infinitely more Love
Will be supplied from Above. ```If you are neutral,
That meansYou are not my friend.
```We conquer ignorance
By doing the right thingAgain and again.
```Once you have started,
No matter how slowly,You must continue to the very end.
```I ask my heart,
Can it depend solely on God?My heart says, “Yes!”
```We are afraid of going to God,
But God is always eagerTo employ us
In His Cosmic Play. ```Desire-prayers
Weaken the divineIn us.
```Aspiration-prayers
Enrich us —Our entire being.
```To hear silence
We need a special ear,And that ear is made of
God’s unreserved Compassion. ```Each divine action
Is the blossomOf a pure thought.
```If we do not lose
Our child-heart,God invites us to play all the time
In His own Heart-Garden. ```To postpone our God-duty
Is to force our heartTo starve.
```No more the thick night of darkness,
But a bright dawn of cheerfulnessI now am.
```When devotion is pure,
God’s Arrival is, indeed,A certainty.
```The heart invites the mind
To sail within the heart. ```The mind knows only one thing:
How to assailThe heart of love.
```The mind wants God
To prove what He saysIs true.
The heart needs no proof. ```My Lord’s blessingful Smile
Has removedAll my heart-tears.
```The heart only looks
At the Face of GodAnd melts.
```The affection of my heart
Is incomparable. ```Heaven’s Gate
Will never remain openFor those who love to debate.
```The clouds of the mind-sky
Ask me:“Why, why, why?”
```The sun, moon and stars of the heart-sky
Smilingly tell me:“Why not, why not, why not?”
```True understanding
Is very hard to findBetween two minds.
```Two places my heart and I live:
We live under God’s Hope-Moon;We live under God’s Promise-Sun.
```When our heart-tears
Begin to fly towards God,Our soul accompanies them.
```God tells me:
“My child, do not hide,Do not hide!
I am eager to give youAn Ecstasy-Ride.”
```Mornings are born
With promise-light.Evenings are filled
With peace-delight. ```The stupid mind
Likes to beA dark cloud of pessimism.
```When we plant love,
God collectsHis infinite Satisfaction.
```At every moment,
God is trying to untieMy entangled thoughts.
```May my self-offering
Have an endless breath. ```The sound of the mind
Collapses beforeThe silence of the heart.
```Under God’s watchful Eye,
Everything that we ownIs bound to thrive.
```A self-giving moment
ResonatesWith ecstasy-waves.
```Poverty-torture
Cannot prevent usFrom realising God.
```My communication
With my Lord SupremeIs my only companion.
```The surrender-bliss
Of a seekerIs unimaginable.
```Nothing is indispensable
Except my Lord’s Compassion-EyeAnd His Forgiveness-Heart.
```Only a God-aching heart
Can meet withIts Beloved Supreme.
```I must transform
My sweet dreamsInto perfect realities.
```High experiences
Do not needTo be understood.
```I am fully responsible
For my own fate —No one else is to blame.
```Our divine activities
Must be performedIn secrecy supreme.
```All human beings
Are longing forThe same Destination —
The Golden Shore of the Beyond —Either consciously or unconsciously.
```My Lord,
Do come to rescue me!I am living
In a very hostile environment. ```If we can live
Inside our heart-home,Only then can we be
Of real help to mankind. ```If you are sad,
Then use your soul’sAdamantine will-power
To transform your sadnessInto gladness.
```If we want to make fast progress,
Then we must take each dayAs if it were
The last day of our life. ```God has already given us
So much,Yet at every moment
Our dissatisfaction looms large. ```Renounce all negativity.
Lo, you becomeThe happiest individual
On earth. ```When we have inner silence,
Our meditations becomeMost powerful.
```God speaks to me
Only when He knowsThat my heart and I
Are all attention. ```What is the most perfect prayer?
“My Lord,Let Your Will be fulfilled
In Your own Way.” ```What I say to God
Is not important.What God says to me
Is extremely, extremely important. ```My happiness is not
My mental hallucination.My happiness is
My God-nearness. ```Each meditation
Has the capacityTo increase our heart-power.
```Only a pure heart
Can speak to GodAny time it wants to.
```God happily and proudly
Helps usWhen we want to turn
Our stumbling blocksInto stepping stones.
```The voice of devotion
Is at onceSweeter than the sweetest
AndMightier than the mightiest.
```God has placed
My wild vitalUnder house arrest.
```If we do not aspire,
Our desires will lastIndefinitely.
```The human in us
LovesComplexity-invention.
```The divine in us
LovesSimplicity-discovery.
```O seeker,
Play your heart-fluteTo conquer God’s Heart!
```God Himself
Will magnify and multiplyAll your divine achievements.
```When the heart is empty,
Gratitude remainsCompletely silent.
```When the heart is full,
Gratitude grows, glowsAnd flows.
```To be a friend of your heart,
You need courageIn boundless measure.
```Gratitude and forgiveness
Must not take anybodyAs a stranger.
```When I pray,
I must feel that I amAn innocent child of God.
```When I meditate,
I must feel that I amA choice instrument of God.
```I always say:
“My Lord, I want to please YouIn Your own Way.”
Do I really mean it?Alas, I do not know.
```My self-transcendence
Is my heart-expansionFor my Lord Supreme.
```We must give paramount importance
To what we sayAnd what we really want to become.
```God is highly displeased
When I think low of myself. ```Sooner or later,
God will find a wayTo show His infinite Compassion
In and through my life. ```My Lord Supreme
Is teaching meHow to conquer the pride
Of impossibility-mountains. ```To serve God unconditionally,
I must become the very breathOf devotion.
```The stupid mind tells us
That it has the rightTo lord it over us.
```My heart-openness
Means my God-closeness. ```My Lord, do save me
From the ruthless tortureOf ignorance-night.
```My Lord,
I am praying to You,Do bless me only
With one pure and divine qualityTo please You in Your own Way.
```Every day we must try
To go higher than our previous altitudeIn the spiritual life.
```No matter how long it takes,
My Lord assures meThat I will be able to please Him
Most satisfactorilyIn His own Way.
```May my heart
Be God-Beauty’sFountain-Song.
```The world where we shall all return
At the end of our journeyIs the world of Eternity’s Peace
And Infinity’s Bliss. ```My prayer
Is the beautyOf my heart-opening.
```My meditation
Is the fragranceOf my surrender-life.
```Aspiration has to be ever new —
Only then shall we getMost satisfactory results.
```Unconditional surrender
Is the possessorOf limitless power.
```Gratitude
Is the brightestWisdom-light.
```Imagination paves the way
That leads usTo the Reality-realisation.
```God’s Dreamland
Is the homelandOf my realisation.
```The soul can take any form,
As the occasion demands. ```Self-criticism
Is nothing short ofA heart attack.
```If the mind remains impure,
We cannot permanently keepAnything good
In our inner life. ```Hope says to promise:
“Brother, I can see the Beyond!”Promise says to hope:
“Sister, I am bringing the BeyondTo you.”
```Enthusiasm and achievement
Are like the beauty and the fragranceOf the same flower.
```Fear cannot conquer love,
But love will conquer fear —Either in the near
Or distant future. ```When we pray to God
For His Victory,He gives us not only
What we need,But also infinitely more
Than we ever thought of asking for. ```My devotion
IsMy God-intensity.
```God does not answer
When my mind vehemently knocksAt His Door.
```God answers His Door
Only when I knockSoftly, tenderly and delicately.
```My mind chooses
Expectation. ```My heart chooses
Aspiration. ```I choose
God-satisfaction. ```The heart
Pleads with GodTo come.
```The mind
Advises GodTo go.
```The mind does not realise
That quite oftenIt cherishes absurdity.
```God’s Joy knows no bounds
When we try to bring to the foreThe dignity of our divinity.
```Life comes and goes.
Heart cries and smiles.Soul sings and flies.
```Frustration is now
Taking a back seatIn my life.
```No more competing with others —
I shall competeOnly with myself.
```God may appear in countless Forms.
You just have to chooseThe Form you like most.
```Without a wholehearted effort,
We cannot makeEven an iota of progress.
```If we do not approach God
On His own Terms,How can we ever succeed?
```Success-march
I was.Progress-speed
I now am. ```We must bravely face
Our imperfections.This is the only way
To free ourselves from them. ```My soulful tears
Are the beauty and fragranceOf my heart.
```Readiness, willingness
And eagernessCan trace the hiding God.
```Every day
After my meditation,I offer world-concern
And world-sympathy-plantsFrom my heart.
```My mind must take every day
A purity-breathAs often as possible.
```Patience fortifies our hearts
And our livesTo grow into the Divine Light.
```Cheerfulness
Is of supreme importanceIn a seeker’s life.
```One single Smile
From my Lord SupremeHas destroyed my insecurity-life.
```Early in the morning,
Before I go out,I sing my God-gratitude-heart-songs.
```God wants me to develop
Soulful confidenceTo serve Him in the world.
```My faith
Is my success-strengthAnd my progress-length.
```When we are absolutely sincere,
God allows HimselfTo be easily found.
```God is desperately searching
For devotion-hearts. ```Every morning
God comes to light my path,But alas, I remain fast asleep.
```I surround myself,
Not with thoughts,But with God’s Will.
```When I see the world
With my Lord’s Compassion-Eye,I see only perfection,
And not an iota of imperfection. ```To my greatest joy,
My heart risesWith the rainbow-dawn.
```The moment I see
God’s Compassion-Eye,My heart swims
In gratitude-tears. ```May my God-service-joy
PermeateMy entire being.
```The journey upward
Is difficult.The journey inward
Is far more difficult. ```Desire talks and talks.
Aspiration actsAnd then talks.
```You must not delay
Your God-searchEven for a single minute.
```My mind thinks
That it always knowsWhat is best
For my mind. ```My heart feels
That only God knowsWhat is best
For my heart. ```My soul knows
That God not only knowsBut also does everything
For the best. ```The imperfect recordings
Of the mindCan be erased
If the mind wants. ```Only the songs of the soul
Can carry usTo the summit-height of Bliss.
```When my mind is utterly silent,
I see my heart’s aspiration-flamesClimbing high, higher, highest.
```Silence inspires me.
Silence encourages me.Silence helps me
To enter into my heart-templeAnd meet with my Inner Pilot.
```My heart’s silence-tears
And my soul’s silence-smilesAre carrying me
To a new horizon. ```Every night
I love to sailIn my soul’s moonlit boat.
```Everybody else fails me
Save and exceptMy faith-friends.
```I shall never allow
My God-manifestation-promiseTo fail.
```God’s Eye
Most lovingly and most proudlyCounts and collects
My aspiration-heart-tears. ```I tell God
That His SmilesAre most enlightening.
```God tells me
That my tearsAre most frightening.
```To have a lion-roar-satisfaction
In lifeIs to please God
In His own Way. ```Forgiveness
Helps us escapeFrom the chains of Time.
```Silence keeps a record
Of what I was,What I am now
And what I will eventually become. ```Simplicity, sincerity
And purityShorten our Godward journey.
```My Master,
Your hope in my spiritual lifeIs my progress-delight.
```For me to walk along
The sunlit path,My heart needs
Gratitude-tears. ```I do not need outer riches,
For my Lord has endowed meWith inner riches.
```When we succeed,
God does not exist in our life.When we fail,
We not only feel God’s existence,But also blame poor God
For our failure. ```My bounden
God-manifestation-responsibilityI treasure
More than anything else. ```There is no such thing as
A stroke of luck.We must work hard
To achieve our goal. ```My heart’s
God-manifestation-promiseI must fulfil
In this lifetime. ```The mind does not mind
When it descendsInto obscurity-cave.
```The outer world
Is very short-sighted. ```God gives us
Countless opportunities,Yet we do not succeed.
```I used to be
A God-interested seeker,And not a self-elevated seeker.
```When I come to God’s Palace,
I see that the GateIs wide open.
```When I enter into my heart-temple,
I see that God the PriestHas been waiting for me
For a long time. ```When I enter into my mind-market,
I see God waiting for me there,To protect me.
```When I enter into my heart-garden,
I see God is already there,To feed me
To my heart’s content. ```We must turn towards the Light —
Otherwise, this world will come to usAs a devastating blow.
```My heart is looking for my soul.
My mind is looking for attentionFrom the inner world
And the outer world. ```Every day
I hope that my heart-sunWill come to the fore.
```Every night
I hope that my heartWill sail
On a moonlit ecstasy-river. ```God is always eager
To visit my heart-home,But alas, when He comes,
I am nowhereTo be found.
```Both the old desires
And the new desiresHave only one thing to say:
“We are very hungry.” ```Forgiveness-power
Has no equal. ```An ever-blossoming
God-gratitude-eyeI desperately need.
```To place myself at the Feet
Of my Lord Supreme,I need an unfettered life.
```Every morning
God invites me to be with HimAnd spend some time
In His Heart-Garden. ```God wants me to be
Always in touchWith His Compassion-Eye.
```Every day
I make it a pointTo devotedly be in touch
With God’s Forgiveness-Heart. ```Anything that comes from
The very breath of SilenceIs illumining and fulfilling.
```Anything that I receive from God
Becomes more beautiful,More illumining and more fulfilling.
```For a true devotee,
There is only the sunrise-heartAnd not the sunset-life.
```We must cultivate
An intense needTo obey God
All the time. ```Desire-fondness I had.
Aspiration-onenessI now am.
```Heavenly advice
Every day I needTo save myself
From earthly problems. ```My mind and my heart
Have establishedA long-awaited understanding
And feeling of oneness. ```My heart thrives only on
God’s ceaseless Compassion-Rain. ```Anger can be replaced
Only with a genuine feelingOf inseparable oneness.
```The Fragrance
Of God’s smiling EyeHas saved my life
Time and again. ```The deeper we go,
The easier it becomesTo silence our mind
With our inner aspiration-flames. ```My aspiration-heart-river
Is running very fastTowards the Golden Shore
Of the Beyond. ```My Lord’s Concern-Net

```My heart-book
Has many, many sweetGod-Compassion-Stories.
```Whenever God asks me
To do extra service,My joy increases immediately.
```I am terribly afraid of
My Lord’s Dissatisfaction-Frown. ```Do not be a surface God-lover.
Be a God-loverIn the depths of your soul,
So that all your dreamsCan easily be fulfilled.
```I need

That God does not cross my path?Alas, how is it that I am still
In absolute darkness? ```Every day
We all have plenty of timeTo love God
And please God. ```I must pray every morning
With my upliftingEagerness-heart.
```God proudly takes up
Permanent residenceIn the depths of our aspiration-heart.
```I am so happy
That I am able to participateIn my Lord’s Victory-March.
```To my great astonishment,

In my defense. ```My aspiration-heart
Shields meFrom my giant ego-mind.
```We do not look for

How many miles we have covered. ```Pray and meditate
Sleeplessly and breathlessly.Your doubt-thorns will become
Faith-roses. ```Every day
God gives usHis love-devotion-surrender-

My God-love-bonds —Nobody!
```May all my days and nights
Be God-aspiring, God-servingAnd God-manifesting.
```I am so delighted
To see my prayer-lifeAnd my meditation-heart
On the rise. ```If you do not compel your mind
To surrender to your heart,Then who will,
And who can? ```When the tears of my heart
And the Smiles of God’s EyePlay their oneness-game,
There are no losers. ```Let my prayers

You have been sleepingFor such a long time.
```God’s Oneness-Heart-Sunshine
Is for all and sundry. ```It is extremely easy
To find God’s FingerprintsOn a surrendered heart.
```My heart-eyes

```There is no replacement

The ebb and flowOf my consciousness-tide.
```If we cannot be
Above our problems,Then we will never succeed
In life. ```The heart has
Only one message:“Love more and ever more.”

Sings and sings. ```There is not a single place
That my mind’s scattered thoughtsDo not cover.
```I shall have to clear everything
Out of my mindIf ever I expect God

Is obliged to spreadGod’s Light
According to his capacity. ```Each man thinks
That all the worldIs unfair to him.
```My Lord,
Do give me the capacityTo fulfil Your Needs
Even in the smallest measure. ```The flames of Heaven
Rise upward,While the flames of hell
Descend. ```My Lord,

```May my heart be
A flower petalUnder my Lord’s Feet.
```The difference between God and me
Is this:God keeps His Heart-Door open

```I explore my spiritual life

To You. ```In newness
There is a special joy. ```In eagerness
There is an immediate achievement. ```My life was born

```No matter what I do wrong,

```Dive deep within.
You are bound to hearGod’s Heartbeat.
```To be a God-observer

```If we pray to God

```My Lord,
One big favour:Just let me know who I am

```We must be
All the timeSoulful in our actions.
```Without devotion,
God-realisation is notA possible task.
```The worst thing that can befall
A seekerIs to lose faith in God

```At this point in your life,
If you talk to ignorance-night,You will cast a slur on your spiritual life.

I am longing to discoverA new way to worship God.
```To love and serve God
Soulfully and self-givinglyIs a rare capacity.
```Only one thing is absolutely sure
On earth:God’s Heart cannot forget us,
Even for a fleeting moment. ```Mine is a life
That is always starvingFor God’s Compassion-Eye.
```Do not allow yourself
To be once more caughtBy ignorance-quagmire.
```When our love-power fails,
It is useless to try —With any other power —
To transform the world. ```Expectation destroys
Our God-love-hunger. ```Our constant surrender
To God’s WillCan give us the capacity
To walk in perfect stepWith God.
```God does not appreciate
Our unwillingness.He just tolerates it.
```No desire-tree
Is empty of thorns. ```Real aspiration
Is definitelyIgnorance-proof.
```It is divine thoughts
That illumine our minds. ```God loves to see me
When I bury my heart completelyUnder His Feet.
```Frustration
IsImminent danger.
```We must not recollect
Our past failures. ```The vital
IsA wild, galloping horse.
```We must always be
Aware ofOur divine potential.
```If we do not think
Of our Lord Beloved SupremeAll the time,
How can we ever offer HimOur sleepless and breathless victory?
```When you stand in front of
A spiritual figure,Your heart is bound to throb

My Lord blesses meWith two celestial Realities:
Hope and Smile. ```Right after meditation,

```Miracles create only curiosity.
They do not really help usIn our spiritual life.
```I rush to bask in the sunshine

Is the fastest runnerIn the inner race.
```At long last
I have smashed asunderMy age-long doubt-barrier.
```I am so excited
To be on my Lord’sOneness-Delight-Team.
```Disobedience
Is the spiritual deathOf a God-seeker.
```If you make a decision
Without God’s PermissionOr Approval,
It can be very dangerous. ```I must stop
My old train of thoughts. ```God wants me to be
My heart’sEcstasy-dance.
```We do not know the danger
Of doubtful thoughts. ```Do not give up!

```In the very depths of my meditation,
I clearly see my MasterBeckoning me.
```We cannot know
The purpose of lifeUnless we have made
Our complete surrenderTo God’s Will.
```If it is God’s Will,

For a very long time at a stretch. ```How I wish my mind,

```Never question
The voice of your soul —Never!
```I want all my attachment-chains

A very peculiar wayOf judging perfection.
```Do not allow your mind
To lord it overYour heart, vital and body.
```To cry for your own victory
Is the height of stupidity. ```No matter what suggestion I offer
To my Lord Supreme,He justifiably rejects it.
```When we praise God
With our devotion-heart-songs,He blesses us
With something most significant. ```I do not want to know
What is wrong with my mind.I just want my mind
To leave me alone! ```God wants my devotion-heart
To be of service to HimEverywhere.
```Even God admires

```My Lord is so kind to me —

I must jump intoA new beginning.
```Heaven does not want to know
If earth suffersFrom depression.
```Accept God unconditionally,
For that is whatGod wants you to do.
```When fame comes,
It is extremely difficultTo remain a good player
In God’s Cosmic Game. ```The disciple’s happiness
Is the Master’s highest pride. ```Not only human beings
But even the cosmic godsCannot hide anything from God.
```In the spiritual life,
Even one step forwardIs a tremendous achievement.
```Even when God stands
Right in front of the mind,The mind does not believe it —
The mind thinks it is not the real God. ```My heart loves God the Creator
And God the CreationEqually and unreservedly.
```We need an adamantine will
To cross the mind-desert. ```If you become a victim
Of your own lethargy,Yours will be a life of misery.
```I am ready to walk
Mile after mileTo receive a smile
From a sincere seeker. ```When God sees I am insincere,
He does not acceptAny excuse from me.
```Your overconfidence
Is the rootOf your miserable life.
```No sincere aspiration
Will end in vain. ```If you desperately desire
World-recognition,Your life-illumination
Will remain a far cry. ```Do not be a member
Of the man-criticism club. ```We all have to be careful —
At any moment, we can be caughtIn temptation-trap.
```My heart-garden
Has only one plant:Gratitude.
```My Lord Supreme,
Do You feel my love?“My child, not only do I feel,
But I am hungry for,Your love.”
```To please God
In a most striking manner,Every day we must increase
The power of our devotion. ```O criticism,
Can you not take rest,Even for a short while?
```In life’s school
We must not neglectAny class.
```God’s Compassion
Is always preparedFor every emergency.
```God has many special projects,
Yet He finds timeTo think of me.
```Even the least Attention
From GodThrills my entire being.
```God and God’s Will
Have been waiting and waitingTo see the face
Of world-transformation. ```I only pay attention
To my Lord’s inner Dictates. ```Eagerness is appreciated
Both in HeavenAnd on earth.
```If we surrender
To God’s Will,Then He will give us
Time to do everythingThat we sincerely need.
```My heart-gratitude-incense
God inhalesAnd becomes exceedingly happy.
```Whenever God does anything
For me,It thrills me immediately.
```God has given us
Ample timeTo please Him
In His own Way. ```God and I enjoy
Gratitude-storiesMore than anything else.
```My gratitude-heart
Longs for only one thing:God’s sweet Smile.
```Disobedience never thinks
That God is watching. ```My God-obedience saves me
Every day, every hour,Every minute, every second.
```I sleeplessly pay attention
Only to my Inner Pilot. ```When this world was first born,
There was much more inner beautyThan now.
```I have made friends
With hope and promise. ```Each seeker derives tremendous joy
From serving GodIn a special way.
```At long last,
God and God’s WillHave shown me the fastest way
To my Destination. ```God always watches us
From deep within. ```I shall not create
Any more problemsFor the compassion-flooded
Mother Earth. ```My Lord tries
Again and again and again —So must I.
```I wish to be
A sleeplessGod-gratitude-heart.
```When God sends me Invitations,
He sends them even toMy constantly God-doubting mind.
```Love has to be
The foundation of everythingHere on earth.
```God also has
His personal whims —We must try to enjoy them!
```I constantly see
That God’s Compassion-EyeIs wiping away the tears
Of genuine seekers. ```May my life
Be aglowWith gratitude.
```God appreciates
Those who attendThe God-Bliss-Exhibit.
```My heart and I
Have been waiting patientlyAt God-Eternity’s Door.
```God-realisation
Is my heart’s onlySecret and sacred thirst.
```God is not bound
By anything.Neither is my onward
Aspiration-journey. ```Waste no time.
God is expectingYour arrival.
```Do not take a blind leap
Into the darkness-night. ```Jealousy-knife
Is very destructive. ```Nothing
Is as beautifulAs our heart-tears.
```Today I must receive
Wisdom-light in ample measureFrom Above.
```To create a perfect world
We must becomeA song of interdependence.
```Our purity-heart
Has to be guardedAll the time.
```When surrender is missing
In the spiritual life,Nothing special can we achieve.
```The Master’s compassion-heart
Is far beyondOur imagination’s flight.
```Every seeker has to wait
At Eternity’s door. ```A devotion-heart
Is the sweetness-childOf its Inner Pilot.
```May our aspiration-heartbeats
Be floodedWith nectar-delight.
```I am tired
Of beingIgnorance incarnate.
```My fate is such
That I stumble all the timeIn my mind-shadows.
```I was
An ego-mountain,But now I am
Humility-grass. ```If you think that the desire-life
Will very soon surrenderTo the aspiration-heart,
Then you are mistaken. ```From aspiration-dawn
The beauty of songsArises.
```Each seeker must develop
A burning aspiration-flameTo be at the Feet of God.
```May my cry
Fly high, higher, highestTo be in the Heart-Home
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```I am dying to be
A tiny petalOf my Lord’s Lotus-Heart-Garland.
```To love God the Creator
And serve God the CreationIs the sole purpose of my life.
```God never forces us
To open our heart-door —Never!
```All our thoughts
Must have one direction:The Golden Shore.
```Even when God is hiding,
We feel His CompassionAnd Affection.
```Each soul
Will eventually beHeaven-bound.
```Selfishness
Will never knowThe joy of oneness.
```Each moment
Is a golden opportunityTo run
And sit at God’s Feet. ```We all must have
Only one longing:God-manifestation-dream.
```The morning sun
Comes to meWith joy boundless.
```The evening stars
Come to meWith peace breathless.
```Each seeker
Is a compassion-flameOf God.
```I must never allow
My devotionTo die of starvation.
```I need
A totally different name:Prayer-heart.
```Today’s disaster
Is eager to seeAnother disaster tomorrow.
```Before God gives me
Any lessons,He first examines
The purity of my mind. ```The outer education
Is apt to puzzle me. ```The inner education
Is apt to inspire meAnd energise me
To realise my own divinity,Deep within my heart.
```Book knowledge
Is always ignorantOf the heart-wisdom.
```God loves to see
That I am desperately tryingTo become familiar with Him.
```God enjoys immensely
Cradling my heartbeat. ```The mind knows
Only one thing:How to decry others.
```My Lord is thirsty.
How is it that I cannot offer HimEven a few drops
Of my gratitude-heart-tears? ```The funniest thing God enjoys
Is this:When I think and feel
That I love GodMore than anyone else.
```Not frightening but enchanting
Are the waysOf my Lord Beloved Supreme.
```I must try to treasure
My Lord’s Compassion-EyeThe way I treasure
My own heartbeat. ```I shall fulfil
My Lord’s WillUntil I breathe my last.
```When I say I am
A God-hunger-heart,I really mean it.
```Spirituality
IsSleepless God-affirmation.
```My God-obedience-key
Can unlockGod’s Heart-Door
Easily. ```Genuine gratitude-heart-tears
Are very rare. ```I do not want God
To take the troubleOf coming down —
I must hurriedly fly and flyTo be at His Feet.
```At every second
My heart wants to beSurrounded by God-seekers
And God-lovers. ```God the Mother
Wants me to takeMore rest.
```God the Father
Wants me to workAs hard as possible
AndAs often as possible.
```In my real life,
Aspiration and dedicationAre my only friends.
```God’s Silence-Eye
Blesses meWith Infinity’s Peace.
```God’s Silence-Eye
Replaces the human in meWith His Love divine.
```God’s every Attention
Thrills my heartAnd excites my life.
```God’s world-transformation-Message
Is sacredAnd not secret.
```Simplicity is
A most preciousInner wealth.
```Hesitation lengthens
The inner roadUnimaginably.
```My Lord,
You are so compassionateTo me.
You always allow meTo place all my imperfections
At Your Lotus-Feet. ```At long last
God has decided to operate onMy disobedience-mind.
```God tells us
To go beyondThe realm of possibility.
```You do not have to
Express your devotion outwardly.Just try to feel that your inner life
Is a devotion-child. ```God is made of Joy-Toy —
I must not breakThis beautiful Toy!
```Alas,
My heart isAn unused God-cry.
```The spiritual life
Without progressIs meaningless.
```I must destroy
My mind’sUnwillingness-snare.
```I always participate
In the heart-meetingsAnd, no, never
In the mind-meetings. ```A devotion-heart
Is very sacredTo God.
```I must not celebrate
My own deplorablePast activities.
```It is extremely difficult
For a man of self-importanceTo be simple and sincere.
```I have firmly closed
My heart-doorOn fear and doubt.
```Childlike enthusiasm
Feeds usAnd makes us very strong
To fight ignorance-attacks. ```May my life become
An ever-blossoming joy. ```When the heart is divinely strong,
Fear is bound to disappearWithout a trace.
```God’s Oneness-Heart
Speaks and listensAt the same time.
```God tells me,
“My child,Dive into My Heart.
I shall show the WayTo God-realisation.”
```Only the soul
Knows how to singIn silence.
```God wants me to exercise
My divine authorityAgainst the teeming darkness
Of the mind. ```My Lord
Quite frequently visitsMy heart-throne.
```All the members of my inner family
Are acting positively,Except my God-doubting mind.
```Satisfaction
Is a very rare achievementIn the life of mankind.
```When I make progress,
I see the unseen Hand. ```Never go back
To your old,Unaspiring self.
```My Lord,
Do teach me the messageOf universal love.
```No matter how many times
I speak to God,Each time He bends down
To listen. ```Delight
Is every soul’sUnmistakable birthright.
```All your worries will disappear
If you pray to GodTo appear before you.
```God whispers every morning
A sweet SongTo each and every heart.
```O lover of God’s Victory,
Rise up — please! ```We all need faith
At every momentIn our spiritual life.
```God Himself creates us
For the fulfilmentOf His Will.
```God’s Command
Knows no holidays. ```We must water
Mother EarthWith our heart’s
Utmost reverence. ```God came down
To inspire meWith His own Heart-Songs.
```God Himself
Proudly strikesMy victory-gong.
```Whenever we are ready
To sing for God,He tells us to sing
The surrender-song first. ```My Lord repeatedly
Warned me,But I failed to pay heed.
```I love challenges.
They make my entire beingStronger than the strongest.
```My aspiration is good,
But not good enough to beA choice instrument of God.
```The path of self-reliance
Is self-destructive. ```My Lord has secret conversations
With each and every soul —He tells the souls
Not to breathe a word. ```I cannot tell anyone
What I really feelAbout the world.
```Only a pure heart
Is grantedGod’s Love-Nectar.
```The heart of devotion
Very quickly entersInto a very high meditation.
```God very quickly disappears
When He sees He is not needed. ```My mind cannot eclipse
My God-aspiration-life. ```Alas, I am totally lost —
I can neither avoid the world situationNor seek God’s Grace.
```All is God —
Both a wild elephantAnd a faithful dog —
But we shall have to chooseBetween them.
```I see the world
BlossomingAt every moment.
```Do not look at the world
With your frustration-mind.Look at the world
With your aspiration-heart. ```This world is not ready
To accept the Divine Light,Even in a tiny measure.
```The seeker’s heart
Has to be extremely vigilantAll the time.
```My Lord’s Golden Feet
Quite often wait and waitFor my heart’s devotion-flowers.
```If God knows how
To command me,Then I also know how
To obey Him. ```Superiority and inferiority
Have no placeIn our inner life.
```Enthusiasm braves the challenges
Of both our inner lifeAnd our outer life.
```I must regain
My heart’s inner criesAnd
My soul’s inner smiles. ```Everybody will be driven
To the perfection-goalAt God’s choice Hour.
```O my mind,
I urge you to be oneWith my heart’s breath.
```First cry and smile.
Finally, go and sitAt God’s Feet.
```The hardest lessons
Are by far the bestFor our fastest spiritual progress.
```Life prefers
To go in cycles. ```God wants my heart
Either to avoidOr to disregard
The attacks of my mind. ```When my heart pleases God,
In silence, God immediately becomesThe Slave of my heart.
```We really help God
When we start forgivingOur enemies.
```Life is a constant battle
Between the divine forcesAnd the undivine forces.
Needless to say, the divine forcesWill ultimately win.
```The universe is nowhere else
Save and exceptInside the heart of a God-lover.
```To think highly
And speak highlyOf this world
Is an almost impossible task. ```My Lord has forcefully lowered
The sailsOf my disproportionate pride.
```Alas, I am too afraid
To count my life’sWasted moments.
```My Lord has entrusted me
To His own Heart. ```We must cast aside doubt
Long before it tries to enterInto our mind.
```My Lord, do tell me,
Will my uselessness-lifeBe ever over?
```My Lord wants my soul
To teach me everythingAnew.
```Only a devotion-heart
Can value God’s Blessings. ```Until the God-Hour strikes,
All our efforts seem futile. ```God’s Heart shows us
The first step,And then His Eye shows us
The rest of the steps. ```My Lord,
Do allow me to drownIn Your Forgiveness-Sea.
```Since surrender to God’s Will
Is absolutely needed,Why not do it right away?
```My God-dedication
Entirely depends onGod’s Compassion.
```My Lord is all ready
To see me climbing,But alas, my fear is torturing me!
```Sincerity, humility and faith
Can never be surpassed. ```God is compelling me
To like myself. ```God is requesting my heart
To take care of my mind. ```As difficulties are increasing,
Even so, my faith in GodIs increasing.
```Meditation has its own
Secret and sacred protection. ```We must not think of
Our lost opportunities.We must create new opportunities.
```The mind adores
The heroesOf the outer world.
```The heart worships
The spiritual figuresOf the inner world.
```Our first and foremost duty
Is to listen to the dictatesOf our soul.
```Every day
We must pray to GodAt a God-appointed hour.
```God has tried countless times
To cancel my friendshipWith ignorance-night.
```God does not like the word
‘Beggar’.He likes only the word
‘Child’. ```May my heart
Swim sleeplesslyIn aspiration-tears.
```Constant God-remembrance
Leads usTo sure God-realisation.
```My golden progress-days
And nightsAre fast approaching me.
```Now that I know
That God is the sole PossessorOf my life,
I am utterly relieved. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Is visibleOnly when we search for it
From the very depths of our heart. ```May my heart
Be a paintingOf God-Delight.
```God’s Fortune-Smiles
Descend upon the seekerWho entirely depends on Him.
```The joy of an obedience-heart
Can never be equalledBy anything.
```God’s Sweetness, Kindness
And CompassionImmediately melt my aspiring heart.
```We must avail ourselves
Of all the glorious opportunitiesThat make us the choicest instruments
Of God. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 34, Agni Press, 2003
