IsGod-realisation-assurance.
```Obedience means

```God-realisation
Is not a destination;It is a stopover on the way
To God-manifestation. ```Soulfulness is needed
When we serve mankind. ```Happiness is needed
When we play with the world. ```This world
Is unimaginably beautifulExcept to the self-styled critics.
```My Lord never minds,
No matter how many timesI go to Him,
Under any pretext. ```Do not try to defend yourself,
But try to blend yourselfWith the rest of the world.
```I came to God
As a tiny, insignificant drop,But He tells me that

Cleverness is foolishness —Foolishness, indeed!
```Attachment and sorrow

```No matter how hard I try
To catch God unprepared,I fail each and every time.
```God simply turns back

```God simply comes running

An invitation. ```God keeps ringing His Heart-Bell

Becomes Heaven-bound. ```Earth

I am of GodAnd I am for God only.
```God wants the heart
To teach the mind,But the mind wants to learn
Only from jealousy-king. ```The doubt-attacker
Is no matchFor a genuine God-lover.
```Difficulty surmount,
Progress-amountStart to count!
```When my mind speaks
One nice word about God,God immediately brings down
For my mindHis Mountain-Summit-Bliss.
```Do not complain,
Do not explain —God loves you
Only to entertain Him. ```The heart does not need
Any exit,Because it wants to remain
Inside the Heart of GodPermanently.
```The mind needs exits.
ThereforeThey are sorrowfully provided.
```If you become
A fast-climbing seeker,God will become immediately
The fast-descending Lover. ```God’s Compassion-Height
And His Justice-LightAre interchangeable.
```What does ignorance do
To my salvation?It just sneers at it.
```God is
God’s torrential Grace. ```I am my terrestrial
Bewildered face. ```My heart’s mounting pain
Takes shelterIn my Lord’s dancing Rain.
```The difference
Between God and meIs this:
I love to smile at God;God loves to smile for me.
```Two things we need:
Cleverness-transformationAnd
Wisdom-illumination. ```I wish to spend my time
BetweenMy heart’s eagerness-blooms
AndMy life’s enthusiasm-blossoms.
```No matter which way my heart looks,
God immediately comesAnd stands before my heart.
```Love is God’s
Most successfulEarth-extension.
```Sacrifice is God’s
Most powerfulHeaven-extension.
```Disobedience-treachery
Is a disgraceUnto itself.
```God’s Love
Is my heart’sInsatiable hunger.
```My heart
Is God’sFondness-doll.
```Power
Is neverPeace.
```Peace
Is alwaysPower.
```The mind wants
Either everythingOr nothing.
```The heart loves
To embodyEverything of everything.
```The mind chooses
Only to lose. ```For the sake of God,
The heart eagerly wantsTo lose everything.
```O my God-Heart-Fragrance-Home,
For a long timeI have been away.
Do take me back! ```My God-worshipping
Vision-plantCan never be uprooted.
```God’s Heart
Breathes inThe dream of world-transformation.
```God’s Heart
Breathes outHis transcendental Promise:
Illumination. ```God eagerly waits
For the readiness of my life’sLove-devotion-surrender-game.
```I always see
Advancing beautyIn God’s Command.
```My heart is deep,
My soul is high,And I am hungry —
God-hungry. ```The human in us
Only praysWhen necessity demands.
```The divine in us prays,
For there is nothing elseWorthwhile.
```My heart
Is made ofGod’s Compassion-Throbs.
```My soul-bird
Is a constant travellerBetween earth’s beauty
And Heaven’s Fragrance. ```Courage alone
Is not enough —Courage needs guidance.
```Nobody likes to give shelter
To the doubting mind,Even for a fleeting moment.
```The world
Desperately needsHeart-angels.
```The world
Never needsMind-giants.
```Every day
We must tryTo make at least one person
Happy. ```My Lord,
May I do everythingOnly to please You
In Your own WayFrom now on!
```My Lord lives everywhere,
But He livesInside my heart-tears
More prominently. ```At least sit
For a few hours a dayAt your God-loving heart-shrine.
```We do not have to find
Our way home.We are home.
```Every single desire
Is nothing other thanAn inner enemy.
```As everything multiplies
In the wrong way,Even so, we have the capacity
To make everything multiplyIn the right way.
```As we are free to descend,
Even so,God has given us
The freedom to ascend —High, higher,
As high as we want! ```Self-applause
Is the immediate graveOf a seeker.
```Only a fool like me
Can sayThat God is only for others,
And not for me as well. ```Every single breath
Is a God-experienceFor the betterment of our life.
```Opportunity comes,
But it does not stayIndefinitely.
```A stupid person
Does what his mindWants him to do.
```A wise person
Clearly seesThat God is doing everything,
In and through him. ```The vital and the mind
Always wantTo have everything done
In their own way. ```I know
My mind will one day beTired of God-resistance,
And I also know that dayIs fast approaching!
```We must not
Renounce the world —Never!
```We must only announce
God’s VictoryAt every moment
Here on earth. ```Disobedience
Is backward sprintingWith no destination.
```I do hope the next generation
Far surpassesThe present generation
In doing the right thingsTo please God in His own Way.
```I have heard
From God HimselfThat I am doing exceptionally well
In my self-giving life. ```Ignorance-hunger
And ignorance-thirstAre insatiable.
```Why do you have to remain
A loser all the time?Work hard, work harder,
With a pure mind!You will be a winner
In your spiritual life. ```O my mind,
I clearly see that your guidanceWill lead me
To utter destruction. ```No divine goal
Can be achievedWithout constant,
Sleepless love of God. ```I allow
Only aspiration-seekersTo encircle my soul.
```Everyone needs a rest.
I need my restOnly amidst the dust
Of my Lord’s Feet. ```O my mind,
Do not wander any more through life.Just turn, and be inside
Your own heart-home.Happiness will be there for you
In boundless measure. ```Who is pulling on me,
If not my self-createdBondage-limitations?
```Our heart-dreams
Never fail us. ```We must depend on
Our simplicity-mind,Purity-heart and self-giving life
To bring about God’s VictoryHere on earth.
```Once we truly surrender
Our lifeTo God’s Will,
We cannot take it back! ```Patience
Is the supreme secretTo achieve what we really want.
```Hope, O sweet hope,
You are still keeping humanityAlive!
```God lives most proudly
Inside the purityOf a child’s heart.
```I envision
Each thought of mineInside my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.
```O my heart’s
God-obedience-wings,Fly high, higher, highest!
```May my heart
Be a completely fertile fieldFor my self-giving life.
```My God-devotion
Is a very rich realityIn my life,
To make me happy. ```When the heart-tears
Invite God,God immediately runs
Towards the heart-tears. ```Enthusiasm and cheerfulness —
They keep GodAlways happy.
```The mind
Never stops complaining.Why pay attention
To the complaining mind? ```God started visiting me
The moment my heartStarted blooming.
```Not retirement,
But enlightenment —This is what my aspiration-heart
Wants and needs. ```God’s Compassion-Torrent
Has always fulfilledMy Heaven-climbing cries.
```No matter how many times a day
I see my Lord,Each time
I get an enormous thrill. ```God the Commander
Does not succeedIn my life.
```Only God the Lover
SucceedsIn my life.
```Meditation
Constantly reminds usOf our perpetual journey
To God’s Heart-Home. ```My Lord tells me
That I must live on earthNot to become,
But only to give and give. ```Happy thoughts
Keep even the mindVery strong.
```Every day
The heart-explorersWill find new,
Supremely high Heights. ```God-manifestation-possibilities
Must be every dayOn the increase.
```If I see God smiling
In every face,Then I am truly advanced
In my spiritual life. ```May I see
My Lord’s Love-AuraInside
My aspiration-heart. ```The heart thrives enormously
The moment it feelsThe Presence of God.
```My heart
Is everywhereTo please God.
```My mind is nowhere.
It cares notWhere God is
Or where God is not. ```God does not need
A monument;He needs only
Moment-to-moment serviceFrom me.
```O my mind,
Stop wanderingFoolishly and aimlessly
In the streets of failure-life. ```God cries and cries
When He seesOur counterfeit love,
Counterfeit devotionAnd counterfeit surrender.
```My silence
IsMy ever-listening
To God-Whispers. ```God’s Name-repetition
Is a most sacred wayTo realise God.
```God does not dictate.
He only asks usTo dive deep within
To dedicate ourselves. ```God-longing
IsSweetness itself.
```What we need
IsA God-receptivity-cry.
```What we need
IsA God-receptivity-smile.
```To live divinely
And supremely on earth,We must sleeplessly give.
There is no other way. ```Every day
I come closer and closerTo the familiar shores
Of Delight. ```Surrender-depth
IsImmeasurable.
```O my mind,
You are never home,No matter how many times
My Lord comes to visit you! ```Whatever God tells me
Is ancientAnd, at the same time,
Ever-new. ```When God governs my moments,
I feel Heaven is nowhere else —Heaven is not only inside my heart,
Heaven is in my life itself. ```Patience-virtue
IsUnparalleled.
```Do not focus
On your weaknesses. ```Focus only
On your God-lovingStrengths.
```At least for a day,
Let me love, only love,Only love the world!
```May my heart’s
Happiness-wavesOnly rise and rise and rise.
```When I heard my Lord Supreme
Singing in my heartFor the first time,
I saw Infinity’s SmileInside a weeping heart.
```If you do not face the truth
About your own self,Then you will never be able to be near
God’s Heart-Home. ```When my Lord rings the bell,
I do not walk,I do not run,
I just fly and flyWith my soul.
```If it is a oneness-heart,
Then it has to beLove-made.
```My heart-tears
Have finally endedMy mind’s arrogance.
```My heart
Has only one task:God-fulfilment.
```O my mind,
The more you dislike the heart,The more you are going away
From God. ```My Lord tells me
That if I need beauty in my eyes,Then I must establish
Purity in my heart. ```Love comes
Only to liberate usFrom fear.
```When God smiles,
I immediately feel who I am:The choice child of God.
```I pray and pray for God
Never to leave meEver again!
```I wish to remain
Inside my heart’s brightnessAnd my soul’s fulness
All the time. ```My God-awareness-breath
IsThe height of my spirituality.
```Meditation
IsThe smasher of temptation.
```The heart encourages
The mind, the vital and the bodyTo see the Light,
Feel the LightAnd become the Light.
```The mind discourages
Everything and everyone.Finally, it discourages
Its own existence-reality. ```God gives us
Again and againChances for a better start
And a more fulfilling finish. ```Each God-thought
Has tremendous fragranceIn it.
```When I touch my Lord’s Feet,
My every heart-breathDances with delight.
```Every time God speaks to me,
I engrave His MessageOn my heart.
```When I cry for God,
I seeHis fastest Speed.
```To make me happy,
My eyes have to seeOnly positive realities in life.
```The soul’s luminosity
ShattersThe mind’s stark darkness.
```The Lord
Of my ancient Heart-HomeHas summoned me.
```No matter how badly
The world misunderstands me,I shall not abandon the world.
```Today
I am enjoyingThe bonfire
Of my old weaknesses. ```My Lord,
For aeons I have deliberately forgottenYour Compassion-Eye
And Forgiveness-Heart. ```Countless are the times
That I forget my LordEach day.
```The outer beauty
PleasesThe outer world.
```The inner beauty
PleasesGod.
```The mind-abyss
Does not believe in acceptingThe light from the soul.
```Silence is not dead —
Silence has the capacityTo roar
Like thousands of lions put together! ```No matter how much we do
For the world,The world thinks it is too little.
```No matter how little I do for God,
God says:“My child, you have pleased Me
More than I could ever imagine!” ```We laugh at sleepwalking
Only when we are fully awake.If not, we enjoy sleepwalking!
```When we do not listen to God,
God at times cries,God at times thunders.
```When the mind
Is the listener,God needs
An interpreter. ```When the heart
Is the listener,God does not need
Any interpreter. ```The heart
Understands GodEasily.
```No matter which language
God uses,The heart can understand.
```We see the Light,
We know the Light,We also see the Light beckoning us —
Yet we do nothing for the Light!We remain completely silent.
```God scolds me
Only to make me good,So that He can play
His Flute of RhapsodyInside my heart.
```My Lord,
Do possess meAs soon as possible.
I am regressing very fastIn the inner world.
```The more the heart practises
To please God,The more the mind preaches
To please itself. ```We pretend
To know everythingThat God does.
```God pretends
That He knows nothingWhen we do something wrong,
Absolutely wrong. ```At this rate,
To realise God,To reveal God
And to manifest GodIs almost an impossible task.
```God gives
His chosen childrenHis Heart-Fragrance.
```My heart is full
Of Heavenly dreamsTo raise the consciousness
Of the earth. ```God is all the time
Dreaming His sweet DreamsInside the aspiration-heart
Of each seeker. ```Happiness and satisfaction
AreTwo inseparable friends.
```Every day
I live in the heartOf my soul’s hope-dawn.
```A simple mind
And a sincere heartAre among the very special children
Of God. ```I become truly happy
Only when I place my proud headAt the Feet of my Lord Supreme.
```I live in between
My inner faithAnd
My outer courage. ```God’s Compassion-Flood
Every day we receive,Yet we fail to change our nature!
```The eyes of my heart
Are all-seeing,Whereas the eyes of my mind
Are totally blind. ```God the Supreme Magician
Has turned my unaspiring lifeInto His choice instrument.
```God’s Concern
Sees everything in usAnd does everything for us.
```I want my heart
To be filledOnly with God-gratitude-tears.
```We must never take
God’s Compassion and LoveFor granted.
```God’s Will
Is bound to be successfulIn my life
At the end of my earth-journey. ```My God-obedience
Has free accessTo all the planes of consciousness.
```My surrender-life
Is the fulfilmentOf my Lord’s
Secret and sacred Dreams. ```God’s Inspiration-Joy
AndMy eagerness-heart
Are always found together. ```It is high time
For me to completely shunMy doubt-flooded mind.
```Alas, my self-doubt
Has cost meDearly!
```God is extremely proud
Of my illumining mindAnd adoring heart.
```When my Lord moves an inch
Towards me,My heartbeats sing and dance
Immediately. ```May our devotion
Flow from our heartTo God’s Heart,
The way God’s LoveSpontaneously flows
Towards us. ```The mind is so stupid —
It even resistsGod’s unconditional Smile!
```My mind always finds fault
With the world —Unnecessarily and uselessly.
```My Lord Supreme,
You have not onlySeen and felt my heart,
But alsoYou have captured my heart taut!
```God wants me
To fly and flyOn the beautiful wings
Of my soul-bird. ```Every day
I read ten pagesFrom my God-gratitude-heart-book.
```God’s Gratitude-Field
InvitesA sleeplessly self-giving heart
To sow the seeds of Immortality. ```My Lord,
In every field of my life,You claim me as Your own.
Therefore, my heart is all gratitudeTo You.
```Life needs
Ups and downsFor complete God-Victory.
```Each thought of mine
Will be totally transformedFor God-manifestation.
```May my heart
Be a fully-blossomedAspiration-flower.
```If you see the world
With your mind’s eye,You are bound to be disappointed.
```If you see the world
With your heart’s eye,You will see
So much that is good and inspiringHere on earth.
