To do only one thing:To radiate Love Divine
In all directions. ```God wants to have only one thing
From my heart:He wants my heart every day
To make for HimA most beautiful Victory-Garland.
```The way back to God’s Home
Is through my sleepless loveAnd breathless devotion.
```When I aspire,

```When I serve,
My life and God’s LifeLive for each other.
```My Lord,
I have only one request:Please feed my heart every day
With Your Sunshine-Smiles. ```The Universe
Is the beauty of God’s Vision,The thrill of God’s Revelation
And the skill of God’s Manifestation. ```Every day
I need flying feet-speedTo obey my Lord’s
Each and every Command. ```We came into the world
Not to renounce the world,But to announce

```Each time I contemplate,
A new God-TreeI admire and treasure.
```Do God-loving good things
Sooner than at once,Or you may not have a chance
To do them at all. ```The philosophy

“Go forward!You will see everything.”
```Spirituality tells me:
“Dive inward!You will become everything.”
```Science is both
Construction and demolition. ```Spirituality is both
Vision and union. ```Silence wisely speaks.

On the man-made road. ```Silence runs
Along Eternity’s Road. ```Sin is an experience
Avoidable. ```Virtue is a realisation

In your unconditional surrenderTo My Will?”
```God tells me
That I deserve everything from HimWhen I live far beyond

He is eagerly waitingAnd waiting and waiting
For me to discover HimOnce and for all.
```God wants from me
A very special favour:He wants me to teach my mind
How to smile all the time. ```I must love God more and more
Instead of imagining how much loveGod has for me.
```My heart cries and cries
For God’s Infinity.God’s Heart cries and cries
For my ever-expanding receptivity. ```God asks me to tell Him correctly
How old is my unconditional surrenderTo Him.
```God wants me to pray to Him
While He is playingInside my heart-garden.
```I want my life
Every dayTo be inundated
With the fulness of newness. ```My Lord’s Heart-Boat
Is never overloaded. ```To love God,
Unconditionally and self-givingly,Is a golden lifetime-opportunity.
```God does not come to me
Precisely because my heart-homeIs empty of eagerness.

Away from me. ```I pray and cry
For the removalOf world-sighs.

Cheerfulness and eagerness.Then you will find yourself
Standing before God. ```My flaming devotion
Every day I placeAt the Lotus-Feet
Of my Lord Supreme. ```It is not true that every seeker
Has to travel to GodThrough desert-paths.
If you can accept the path of self-giving,Devotion and surrender,
And practise it sleeplessly,You can avoid the desert-path.
```Each unconditional seeker
Not only resembles GodBut represents God on earth.
```Everything on earth
Will be divinised and transformedAt God’s choice Hour
Without fail. ```The time has come
For us to silenceThe age-old ignorance-frown.
```Eagerness hastens everything
That we want to doIn our life of aspiration and dedication.
```A desiring mind
Helplessly and hopelesslyTravels all around.
```Today’s man-seed
BecomesTomorrow’s God-Tree.
```My only qualification is:
I am God’sCompassion-devourer.
```In our aspiration-life,
Awareness playsA most significant role.
```Alas, we are forced
To watchPeace-famine!
```Each soulful
And melodious songCarries us nearer
To God. ```Every day
I try to expand and enlargeMy gratitude-heart-garden.
```Our outer capacities
And inner qualitiesWe can lose
In the twinkling of an eye. ```Our heart has the capacity
To give usInfinity’s Peace.
```Fulfilment is not very far;
It is within our easy reach. ```To my greatest joy,
My mind is no longerA domineering pride.
```Separation
Is the clear indicationOf doubt-entrance.
```Poise and courage
Live and workTogether.
```We must terminate
Our old friendshipWith doubts, jealousies
And insecurities. ```Insecurity-victims
Are availableHere, there and everywhere.
```We need divine smiles
To wash awayOur human tears.
```My Lord,
I have talked enough!Can You not say
Just a few wordsTo encourage me
And illumine me? ```I always carry with me
My gratitude-heart-tearsWhen I go to visit
My Lord Supreme. ```A oneness-heart
IsA destroyer of loneliness.
```No fear have I,
For I feel my Lord’s PresenceIn the depths of my heart.
```God’s withdrawal is,
Indeed,A heart-breaking experience.
```An unconditional surrender-road
Is waiting for me.Alas, what am I doing?
```Where do I see Heaven?
I see HeavenIn my Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And nowhere else. ```Mine is the soul
That can multiply God’s LoveFor my heart, mind, vital and body.
```This time
God has come into my life,Never to leave.
```How can a heart
Burdened with despairEver succeed
In the spiritual life? ```Who can give me
Joy divineOnce more, who?
```The role of discipline
In our spiritual lifeIs extremely important.
```A God-willingness-heart
Keeps the body young. ```God-remembrance
IsMy life’s greatest victory.
```Everything will eventually
Be transformedInto God-willingness.
```To my greatest joy,
All my Lord’s NeedsHave awakened
My slumbering life. ```Love, devotion and surrender
Live togetherAnd selflessly work together
For God. ```What I always need
Is to love the SourceOf my ecstasy-heart.
```A hope-light-heart
Knows no evening. ```The inner world
Is full ofSilence and beauty.
```The outer world
Is full ofSad misunderstanding.
```Earth
Is man-preparation.Heaven
Is God-satisfaction. ```God’s Compassion-Eye-River
CarriesMy soulful heart away.
```Without a moment’s hesitation,
I must bravely runTowards my Destination.
```I must find my aspiration-heart
Inside the BreathOf my Lord Supreme.
```The devotion-heart
Discovers the Truth. ```The surrender-life
Uncovers the Truth. ```Our soul’s
Enthusiasm-engineNever stops.
```We are wanting
In God-Beauty-supplies. ```Sleeplessly and breathlessly
Our hearts followOur Lord Beloved Supreme.
```Aspiration-flame
Is my real name. ```To quote the mind
Is in no wayAdvantageous.
```To arrive
At God’s Heart-Home,We must take the soul-road.
```Inspiration-prince
My mind was. ```Aspiration-king
My heart now is. ```To reach higher planes,
Our heart’s aspiration-flamesMust challenge and dare.
```Offer your all
To meet your Lord SupremeWithin.
```We must surrender
To God’s WillOut of sheer love,
And not becauseHe will eventually force us.
```Cry, cry when you pray.
Smile, smile when you meditate. ```If I do not love God wholeheartedly,
Then I cannot expect God’s ArrivalAt my heart-door.
```Heaven is both
Complete silenceAnd
Perfect sound. ```My heart cries
And ceaselessly pliesFor a special love of God.
```My Lord lives
On the same planet as I do:Earth.
```The hall of fame
Is at times followed byThe hall of shame.
```The mind-guest questions.
The heart-host answers. ```God may ignore
My mind-impurityTo some extent.
```God never ignores
My heart-insincerity. ```We can easily cultivate
Our capacity to love GodMore, infinitely more.
```Deep meditation means
The stupendous delightOf the heart.
```God’s first Name:
Dreamer. ```God’s last Name:
Lover. ```Each sincere prayer
Does have the capacityTo increase the speed
Of our Godward journey. ```A feeling heart
Carries usTo God’s Heart-Home.
```A kneeling life
Brings GodInto our heart-home.
```Try to worship God
Not only when you arePraying and meditating,
But also while you are sleeping. ```My heart and I
Feel miserableIf we cannot talk to God
At least once a day. ```I never ask God
For any favours,But I do beg Him
For His Grace, unlimited Grace. ```Self-reliance-people
Dig their own graves. ```God-reliance-people
Are entrusted with the capacityTo build God’s Palace.
```We are excited
And at the same time worriedAbout our self-creation:
Our mind-built caskets. ```There was a time
When I livedUnder my mind-guidance.
```Now I live only under
God’s constant GuidanceAnd express Command.
```God feeds
The human in usCarefully.
```God feasts
The divine in usSumptuously.
```The mind is forced
To participateIn life’s obstacle-course races.
```My life can completely fall
Into God’s HandsWhen I powerfully come out
Of ignorance-cave. ```When my life becomes
A beautiful heart-flower,I start breathing
God’s Compassion-Breath. ```The power of meditation
Will definitely transform the earth-planetAt God’s choice Hour.
```If I do not gladly and powerfully
Ignore my own failings,I will not be able to go forward
A single step. ```The mind never thinks
That GodIs the most important Being.
```My soul-garland
Is made ofMy heart’s gratitude-tears.
```We must always be on the alert.
At any moment we may be electrocutedBy ignorance-shock.
```The eye of the heart
Always looks upwardTo the Highest.
```Is there anyone
Who does not blame God,Either secretly or openly?
```By exercising our adamantine will,
We can bringThe distant future to us
Infinitely faster than otherwise. ```The silence-room is not fierce —
It is all-lovingAnd all-protecting.
```When you speak to your Master,
Speak with your heartAnd never with your mind.
```There is no greater miracle
Than our conscious effortsTo become good human beings.
```Wherever the aspiration-heart is,
It is all fruitfulness. ```Only one desire I have:
A fleeting glimpseOf my Lord’s Eye.
```Self-giving means
God’s Satisfaction-Eye. ```My Lord, I have tried;
I have failed.Now please come and open
My heart-door! ```Every day
I use God’s personal Name:Sacrifice.
```We must please God
Out of sheer loveAnd not out of fear.
```The heart happily announces
The arrivalOf God’s Peace.
```The mind
Is eagerly waitingFor peace-departure.
```Prayer-beauty
And meditation-fragranceCan easily be the birthright
Of any human being. ```In my case,
Offering is not an obligationBut the fulfilment of my aspiration.
```If you see only me,
You will be a total failure. ```If you see God in me,
Then yours will beUnbounded victory.
```The mind loves to visit
Each separation-island. ```The heart loves and becomes
The pride of oneness-land. ```The mind loves to enjoy
Thought-traffic-gridlock. ```The heart loves to enjoy
The ocean-vast peaceAnd bliss.
```Each sincere seeker
Has God’s FingerprintsNot only inside his heart,
But also upon his body. ```An obedience-heart
Hears God’s sweet Flute. ```A disobedience-mind
Hears onlyGod’s Thunderbolt.
```God wants me
Only to cry for Him. ```God does not want me
To spy onHis spiritual children.
```A stupid seeker
Tries to deceive God. ```A wise seeker
Tries to receive God. ```God is a confirmed
Pacifist. ```Alas,
I am a meaninglessAnd useless activist.
```God is humanity’s
Progress-Dreamer. ```Man is Divinity’s
Arrival-implorer. ```I may not take up
The God-Satisfaction-Smile-challenge,But I am sure there are others
Who can certainly do it. ```God pretends to be
Very far awayFrom me.
```I pretend to be
Very closeTo God.
```Everything about God
My heart feels is beautiful. ```Everything about God
My life feels is merciful. ```Everything about God
My soul knows is bountiful. ```Ego demands
And reprimands. ```Humility
IsGod’s Heart-Sweetness.
```Gratitude-songs
Are totally differentFrom all other songs.
```I must follow God
As the morning followsThe dawn.
```There should never be a moment
When it becomes too lateTo please God
In His own Way. ```My Lord asks me not to worry.
When the mind-door shuts,The hear-door opens,
And the heart-doorIs infinitely better.
```Millions and millions of years ago,
My Lord dreamtOf my God-manifestation on earth.
How can I disappoint Him? ```The service of a sleepless
God-seekerIs a service of the first magnitude.
```God has proved
Time and again in my lifeThat His Compassion
Is an endless Reality. ```Forgiveness-depth
And wisdom-heightAlways love to live together.
```Everything that my mind does
Is a mystery to me. ```Everything that my heart does
Is a supreme mysteryIn my life.
```Only an unconditionally
Surrendered seekerHas access
To Divinity’s Summits. ```When it is a matter of God-satisfaction,
Each moment of my lifeI must be absolutely ready.
```In God’s Eye,
My heart’s soulful smileIs matchless.
```Every day I must cover
A very long inspiration-aspiration-distanceTo please my Lord Beloved Supreme.
```Silence gives us joy.
This is totally true. ```Silence itself is joy.
This truth comes downFrom the loftiest Heights.
```God is everywhere,
But my heart-tears discover HimSooner than at once.
```I pray to God daily
To keep my heart-joyInside His Protection-Eye.
```My Lord secretly
And proudly hidesInside my aspiration-eye.
```When God’s Eye
Calls me,I start running immediately.
```When God’s Heart
Calls me,I start diving into my heart rapidly.
```When God’s Feet
Call me,I run the fastest
To reach His Feet. ```Aspiration means
To raise the consciousnessOf centuries.
```Aspiration means
To prevent the fallOf our present century.
```My Lord Supreme,
It is me again.This time I shall not disappoint You,
I promise! ```My heart does not talk
To the empty mind-talkers. ```If we are extremely genuine
In our aspiration,Then the hustle and bustle of life
Can do us no harm. ```For a seeker,
God-unawarenessIn any limb of the seeker’s body
Is sheer torture. ```God-satisfaction-days and nights
Have to be absolutely real,Within and without.
```O seeker,
Never go backTo your entirely self-dependent life.
```There is nothing —
And there can be nothing —Worse than giving up
The spiritual life. ```We cannot bribe
God’s Compassion,But we can certainly imbibe
God’s Affection. ```I must tame my mind
To have implicit faithIn my Lord’s Compassion-Eye
AndHis Forgiveness-Heart.
```The sunrise comes to me
With God’sInfinite Beauty.
```The sunset comes to me
With God’sEver-blossoming Silence.
```My Lord says to me
Only one thing:“Remember why
You came into the world,Why!”
```My Lord begs me first,
Then He commands me. ```One can have all the qualifications
Of the outer world,But that does not mean
One is very close to God.No, it can be just the opposite.
```O my mind,
The Lord has spoken to you.What is your answer?
The mind says:“I shall remain the same.
I do not want to change!” ```My life gets invited
By God aloneOnly if my heart invokes God.
```We are safe only when
We are completely occupiedBy God-thoughts.
```My heart’s constant surrender
To God’s WillIs my life’s conscious God-study.
```The source
Of my God-conviction-lifeIs God’s Heart-Infusion
Into my life. ```Our God-hunger
Has to be extremely strongTo please Him at every moment
In His own Way. ```When God touches
The human in me,I immediately wake up.
```When God touches
The divine in me,I run and run
Towards my Destined Goal. ```How I wish I could be
A captiveIn my Lord’s ever-increasing
Compassion-Chains. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 36, Agni Press, 2004
