Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 39

38001

```

My constant love of God

Is

My sacred secret.

```

38002

```

There is no such thing

As earthly duty

And Heavenly duty.

There is only one duty:

My God-Feet-worship-reality.

```

38003

```

God’s unseen Divinity-Magnet

Draws the aspiration-heart

With tremendous Concern.

```

38004

```

A God-longing fever

At every moment

I must cherish.

```

38005

```

May my body’s shrine

Be my heart. ```

38006

```

May my heart’s shrine

Be my soul. ```

38007

```

The inner hunger

Is much more intense

Than the outer hunger.

```

38008

```

When I am separated from my Lord,

My life-boat plies

Between emptiness and barrenness.

```

38009

```

When I start counting my mistakes,

God becomes extremely furious.

He says to me:

“My child,

Have you nothing else to do?”

```

38010

```

My Master’s life

I adore. ```

38011

```

My Master’s feet

I worship. ```

38012

```

God tells me

That I shall never lose sight

Of Him

If my heart every day

Produces tears.

```

38013

```

Any promise that God has made

In and through us,

He will definitely fulfil.

```

38014

```

Every time,

My Lord comes to me

As the Ocean of Hope.

```

38015

```

When my Lord gives me

Something to do,

My name is changed

To happiness. ```

38016

```

My Lord,

If it is true that I do not love You only,

Then do give me the capacity

At this very moment

To love You only!

```

38017

```

My sadness-separation

From my Lord Supreme’s Feet

Is a most painful experience.

```

38018

```

In my outer life,

God is not strict with me

At all.

```

38019

```

In my inner life,

God is the embodiment

Of strictness.

```

38020

```

God does not give anybody

The chance to become

His half-time attendant.

```

38021

```

Attachment

Was my yesterday’s friend

But my today’s dire foe.

```

38022

```

Defend yourself dauntlessly.

Do not allow any adversary-force

To enter into you.

```

38023

```

God

And God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Are to be found

All-where. ```

38024

```

If you cannot

Take time seriously,

Then God will not

Take you seriously. ```

38025

```

If I do not receive

A morning Smile from my Lord,

Then I fail that day,

At every turn. ```

38026

```

My Lord,

Do rescue me

From my self-styled

Pious feeling. ```

38027

```

The moment God sees

That I am afraid of Him,

He immediately withdraws

From me. ```

38028

```

I came into the world

For my Lord’s Love-Distribution

And not for earthly prosperity-accumulation.

```

38029

```

The divine Love

Does not speak —

It only acts.

```

38030

```

God values my love

More than my worship. ```

38031

```

My Lord,

If I cannot love You,

Then what is the use of living?

“My child, I want you to live!

Do not worry —

Love for Me

Will one day blossom

In your heart.” ```

38032

```

I wish to be

A tiny seed

In the Heart-Soil

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

38033

```

Life means self-giving,

From the womb to the tomb. ```

38034

```

No more my heart

Will cherish

God-forgetfulness.

```

38035

```

I have not come into the world

To become a world-shaker,

But to become a world-lover

And a world-server. ```

38036

```

As long as the desire-world

Is our friend,

We shall not be able to fulfil the promise

Of our inner life. ```

38037

```

A heart of joy is as necessary

As a life of surrender

To God’s Will.

```

38038

```

We can make

Our Godward journey sunlit

With our heart’s aspiration-cries.

```

38039

```

A criticism-mind

Is never appreciated

By kind-hearted people.

```

38040

```

Some people enjoy

Uncertainty-mind-clouds.

Fortunately, I am not one of those.

```

38041

```

The undivine powers

Oppose us

All the time.

```

38042

```

The divine Powers

Try to strengthen us

To fight against

The undivine powers. ```

38043

```

Unless we are completely surrendered

To God’s Will,

God will never be completely satisfied

With us. ```

38044

```

The unseen Face of God

Gives me

Tremendous hope.

```

38045

```

The unseen Heart of God

Gives me not only the courage,

But also the strength,

To fulfil my divine promise. ```

38046

```

Heaven descends.

Earth ascends.

I appreciate, admire,

Adore and worship them

When they descend and ascend.

```

38047

```

My friendship with earth

Embodies affection

In boundless measure.

```

38048

```

My friendship with Heaven

Reveals wisdom

In boundless measure.

```

38049

```

I must silence my mind

At every moment

To feel the blessingful Presence

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

38050

```

Not only the Unknown

But also the Unknowable

Helps us unconditionally

To become choice instruments

Of the Absolute Supreme.

```

38051

```

God asks me

To pray to Him

With an empty mind.

```

38052

```

God asks me

To meditate on Him

With my wisdom-flooded heart.

```

38053

```

God asks me

To love Him

With the darkest night

Of my mind

And the brightest light

Of my heart. ```

38054

```

Since the beginning of creation,

Many, many, many seekers were able

To love and serve God unconditionally.

I am determined to follow in their footsteps. ```

38055

```

The mind springs a surprise on God

When it says to God

That it will not doubt

The soulful activities of the heart

Any more.

```

38056

```

My Lord wants me

To think of the transformation

Of my own life,

And He will take care of His own Creation

In His own Way.

```

38057

```

When I think,

“Perhaps God does not know

What I am doing now,”

God immediately enjoys

His mightiest Laughter-Roar.

```

38058

```

My Lord,

Do I need a new prayer

And a new meditation every day?

“My child, not every day,

But when your prayers and meditations

Are not giving you tremendous joy,

Then pray to Me to bless you

With new prayers and new meditations.” ```

38059

```

O my mind,

Can you not seek God

More sincerely?

```

38060

```

O my heart,

Can you not love my Lord Supreme

With your purity-flower-devotion?

```

38061

```

O my soul,

I am most eagerly waiting for the day

When you will bless my heart,

Bless my mind, bless my vital

And bless my body

With enormous joy and stupendous pride. ```

38062

```

My Lord,

Love, devotion and surrender

You want me to develop fully.

Please tell me,

Among the three qualities,

Which quality I need first

To please You in Your own Way.

“My child,

Devotion, devotion, devotion!

Devotion is the golden bridge

Between your love and your surrender.”

```

38063

```

I enter into my Lord’s Heart-Home

Only to be bound by His Concern

And blinded by His Affection.

```

38064

```

My heart often catches

A glimpse

Of my soul’s divinity.

```

38065

```

In the spiritual life,

Regularity is not enough.

Punctuality is needed

To make the fastest progress. ```

38066

```

Love

Is my outer song. ```

38067

```

Devotion

Is my inner song. ```

38068

```

Surrender

Is my God-song. ```

38069

```

God does not have to ask twice

For a surrendered seeker

To do something for Him.

```

38070

```

Desire-darkness-mind

I was. ```

38071

```

Aspiration-light-heart

I now am. ```

38072

```

I get tremendous joy

When my prayers

Are absolutely sincere.

```

38073

```

I must throw away

My anxiety-worry-mind. ```

38074

```

My three real friends —

Love, devotion and surrender —

Are so kind to me

All the time. ```

38075

```

My Lord, do bless me

With an ever-transcending

Inner cry.

```

38076

```

A simple life

And a sincere heart

Give me the joy that I need

To realise God. ```

38077

```

No more shall I surrender

To my doubting mind

And piercing fear.

```

38078

```

Self-confidence

Is sometimes nothing short of

A wasted comfort-life.

```

38079

```

My Lord,

Please give me the capacity

To be a full-time satisfaction-server

Of Yours. ```

38080

```

As my Lord’s Compassion

Is unconditional,

Even so, I am making

My love, devotion and surrender

To my Lord unconditional.

```

38081

```

There was a time

When I used to wish for God’s Victory,

But now, not only am I wishing and willing,

But also I have thrown myself

Into God’s supreme Victory.

```

38082

```

When I pray to God,

I am, indeed, good.

When I meditate on God,

I am, indeed, better.

When I do both — pray and meditate —

I not only do the very best,

But also I am on the way

To perfect perfection. ```

38083

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do give me the capacity

To keep my receptivity-heart

Sleepless and breathless. ```

38084

```

Every morning

My heart nourishes

My God-crying and God-smiling life.

```

38085

```

A life of self-discipline

Is immediate

Progress-delight.

```

38086

```

O cheerfulness,

I am on my way to God’s Home.

Do come and lead me!

```

38087

```

The mind that does not commit itself

To God’s Will

Is bound to be a total failure.

```

38088

```

The heart that commits itself

To God’s Will

Is a favourite child of God.

```

38089

```

The soul’s timeless life

Is blessing me

With a tireless God-service.

```

38090

```

No more am I

My mind-turbulence-life.

I am now

My heart’s fulness-poise. ```

38091

```

Self-doubt

And its strength

Have surrendered

To my sleepless love of God. ```

38092

```

My soul is today celebrating

My heart’s unconditional

God-obedience-ecstasy.

```

38093

```

To fear God

Is, indeed,

A failure.

```

38094

```

To doubt God

Is

A worse failure.

```

38095

```

To speak ill of God

Is

The worst possible failure.

```

38096

```

I must never underestimate

Any divine quality

In my Lord’s most beautiful Creation.

```

38097

```

Although the mind

Tries to be most powerful,

It does not have any conviction

Whenever it does something. ```

38098

```

Self-doubt,

Just leave me alone!

I have nothing to do with you,

And I am nothing to do with you.

My life, my heart, my breath and I

Are only for our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

38099

```

If I can love my Lord Supreme

More than I do now,

Then He is bound to show me

His Divinity’s highest Height

And deepest Depth.

```

38100

```

Life is very short.

We must accomplish

As many things as possible

For our Lord Supreme

Before we leave Mother Earth.

```

38101

```

We must create the golden days

Inside our heart first,

Then bring them to the fore.

```

38102

```

Each thought can carry us

Either to Heaven

Or to the lowest plane of consciousness.

Therefore we must choose

Divine thoughts

All the time. ```

38103

```

My love of God

Is very insignificant,

But my life entirely depends on Him.

Therefore, I am very happy. ```

38104

```

Love, devotion, surrender —

These are not mere words

In the spiritual life.

They have to be taken

As seriously as possible.

```

38105

```

We come into the world

Not to break the old laws,

But to heed the laws

That will inspire us to run

Towards our own highest Divinity.

```

38106

```

My Lord, You tell me

That You are extremely proud of me.

I do not know why.

“My child, I am doing My Task —

I am telling you the Truth.

Now your task has to be

To remain silent and believe in Me.”

```

38107

```

At long last,

I am able to shun curiosity.

Now my real spiritual life has begun.

```

38108

```

The outer beauty

Has a very short breath. ```

38109

```

The inner beauty

Has a very long life. ```

38110

```

The beauty of the soul

Is at once infinite

And eternal.

```

38111

```

Outer leadership has no meaning

In my spiritual life.

It is spiritual friendship

That I need and everybody needs

To fulfil our divine task.

```

38112

```

The outer power

Thinks that it can do

Anything it wants to do

With the world. ```

38113

```

The inner power

Says that I can do only the things

That my Lord Supreme asks me to do.

```

38114

```

I do not have to know where I am going

Or how many more years I will need

To be a totally unconditional seeker.

I am just extremely happy

To be in the Boat

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

38115

```

The outer beauty

Is apt to puzzle

And dazzle us.

```

38116

```

The inner beauty

Inspires us

And aspires in and through us.

```

38117

```

Truth does not need conviction,

For Truth itself is conviction

In its own divine right.

```

38118

```

I know there are many planes

Of consciousness

Where there is no thought.

How I wish I could go and visit

Those planes of consciousness!

```

38119

```

Alas, the doubt-dog

So often

Ferociously bites my mind.

```

38120

```

At times, when I go to God,

He gets much more joy

By making fun of me

Than by giving me spiritual lessons! ```

38121

```

My Lord,

I am terribly ashamed of asking You,

Again and again,

To be on my side.

My Lord, do give me the capacity

To tell You

That I am all ready to take Your side

And will not beg You

To take my side any more.

```

38122

```

My Lord, if You really love me,

Then how is it that You never talk to me?

“My child, I do talk to you every day,

But you do not offer Me

The ears of your heart.”

```

38123

```

May my life-boat ply

Between

My tolerance-shore

And

My patience-shore.

```

38124

```

When my consciousness is high,

Very high,

I see myself singing and dancing

With the waves of the infinite ocean. ```

38125

```

Tolerance and patience

Are not on the same level

Of consciousness.

Patience lives on a much higher level. ```

38126

```

Our outer achievements

Will sooner or later

Pale into insignificance.

```

38127

```

Our inner achievements

Pave the way

To our destined Goal.

```

38128

```

The outer flames

Burn everything

That is around us.

```

38129

```

The inner flames do not burn us —

They only illumine us

And liberate us

From our age-old bondage-night. ```

38130

```

My Lord, I tell You in all sincerity:

The more You demand from my life,

The happier You make my heart.

```

38131

```

My Lord, I am ready to believe

That You love me all the time,

But I fail to believe

That my love for You is always genuine. ```

38132

```

The higher worlds have to be convinced

By my heart’s inner cries

That I have cut off completely

My associations

With my old friends:

Fear, doubt, anxiety, worry,

Insecurity, jealousy and impurity.

```

38133

```

God wants me

To please His Silence-Eye

With my heart-songs.

```

38134

```

Disobedience-thoughts

Are self-destructive. ```

38135

```

Eventually,

The heart-melodies

Will illumine

The mind-melancholy. ```

38136

```

The sleeping earth forgets

That the wakeful Heaven

Is sleeplessly watching.

```

38137

```

When my prayers go to see God,

They always want my gratitude-heart-tears

To accompany them.

```

38138

```

God says to me:

“My child,

If you really want to please Me,

Then come to Me immediately.

I do not believe in the future!”

```

38139

```

The mind’s happiest story

Is all about

Power.

```

38140

```

The heart’s happiest story

Is all about

God’s Blessing-Shower.

```

38141

```

My mind is afraid of

My heart’s

Temple-shrine.

```

38142

```

I want

My hope and my promise

To be inseparable friends.

```

38143

```

My outer wealth

Pleases my mind. ```

38144

```

My inner wealth

Pleases my Lord’s Heart. ```

38145

```

My aspiration-days

Make me feel

That my God-realisation

Is fast approaching. ```

38146

```

The inner aspiration

Does not need any help

From the outer expression.

```

38147

```

I am longing

For a beauty-moon

In my heart-sky.

```

38148

```

The higher worlds

Are constantly blessing

The lower worlds,

But, alas, the lower worlds

Are totally unaware of it.

```

38149

```

The desire-life

Unconsciously runs

Towards death.

```

38150

```

The aspiration-heart

Consciously flies

Towards the all-illumining sun.

```

38151

```

The aspiration-heart and dedication-life

Must always remain careful, cautious

And fully alert.

```

38152

```

Inspiration carries us

To a far-off beauty-land. ```

38153

```

Aspiration carries us

Deep within

And shows us

What God has in store for us. ```

38154

```

My Lord

Always magnifies

My life’s divine qualities.

```

38155

```

This morning

God has given me

My divinity’s aspiration-heart-torch.

```

38156

```

My Lord,

I need Your Protection-Feet

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

38157

```

The mind-river

Is terribly afraid

Of entering into

The heart’s vastness-ocean. ```

38158

```

God proudly shelters

And nourishes

His self-giving children.

```

38159

```

The mind-confusion

Challenges

The heart’s brightest light.

```

38160

```

My Lord’s Vision-fulfilment

Depends only

On self-giving seekers.

```

38161

```

If somebody says

That I should love God more,

I shall, sooner than at once,

Gladly accept his advice

And run the fastest towards the Goal.

```

38162

```

No more am I

In my mind-jungle.

I see all-where

My heart-garden. ```

38163

```

In the spiritual life,

To belittle others’ aspiration-achievement

Is a serious and dangerous crime.

```

38164

```

My heart

Takes every Utterance

Of my Lord Supreme

As infallible. ```

38165

```

I must decorate

My heart-home

Only with a variety of pictures

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

38166

```

Any smile from the heart

Can raise our consciousness

High, very high.

```

38167

```

When God looks at me,

The first thing He wants to see

Is if my surrender-life is doing well.

```

38168

```

True satisfaction

Comes only

From a one-pointed devotion

To God’s Will. ```

38169

```

My readiness, my eagerness

And my selflessness

Have to be sleepless and breathless

To please my Absolute Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

38170

```

Every day

I sow positive thought-seeds

In my aspiration-heart-garden.

```

38171

```

I need only one thing:

A constantly God-guided

And God-sheltered life.

```

38172

```

Only a God-surrender-heart

Can sing

With God’s Heart.

```

38173

```

O my mind,

Stop doubting the world!

You take care of yourself;

God will take care of His Creation. ```

38174

```

Every day

I must increase

The strength of my self-offering

To love and serve

My Lord’s entire Creation.

```

38175

```

Be fearless —

No obstacle can remain

Unconquered.

```

38176

```

Today

I see my Lord

Smiling and smiling all the time,

All-where. ```

38177

```

O my mind,

It is high time for you

To walk along

With my heart and soul. ```

38178

```

Not my mind,

But my heart

I trust all the time

For outer success and inner progress. ```

38179

```

I desperately want to be

A God-loving, God-serving

And God-adoring seeker.

```

38180

```

I cry for the fulfilment

Of my endless desires. ```

38181

```

God cries

Only for one thing:

My heart’s sincere smile.

```

38182

```

No matter what kind of message-light

The soul offers to the mind,

The mind can never read it.

```

38183

```

I am not crying

To be singled out by my Lord Supreme.

I am crying

Only to please Him always

In His own Way.

```

38184

```

When we plant our life-plants

Inside our heart-garden,

God visits our garden

Every day without fail. ```

38185

```

God wants me to feel

That my hopes

Will not remain unfed.

```

38186

```

No more

Desire-gratification. ```

38187

```

Aspiration-fulfilment

At every moment

I need in my life.

```

38188

```

My desire-days and nights

Can never please me. ```

38189

```

My aspiration-moments

Can easily make me

Extremely happy.

```

38190

```

God will keep His Promise

If I keep my promise —

A constant God-surrender-life.

```

38191

```

A oneness-heart-smile

Lasts

For a very, very long time.

```

38192

```

My heart-cries

Awaken me

To do God-service.

```

38193

```

Because my Master

Loves me very deeply,

He is always ready

To fight for me

Against the hostile forces

And bring me the victory. ```

38194

```

One question God asks me

All the time:

When will I take Him

As my only Friend? ```

38195

```

The eyes of the mind

Have always

A destructive vision.

```

38196

```

When it is a matter of God,

The mind becomes

Total forgetfulness.

```

38197

```

The heart

Works and works

For God.

```

38198

```

God has no importance

In the mind’s eye. ```

38199

```

Every night

I give the moon

My heart’s aspiration-cries.

```

38200

```

Every night

The moon gives me

Its unbounded peace.

```

38201

```

What I have:

A God-gratitude-heart. ```

38202

```

What God has:

Two Forgiveness-Feet. ```

38203

```

Insincerity and impurity:

These two have

A very long life.

```

38204

```

Simplicity

Is

An unparalleled wisdom.

```

38205

```

God wants His children

To be the children of joy,

And nothing else.

```

38206

```

My heart-cries

Have a free access

Both to the heart of earth

And to the Heart of Heaven. ```

38207

```

When God blows the whistle,

The heart immediately

Starts working.

```

38208

```

When God blows the whistle,

The mind pays no attention;

It just loiters.

```

38209

```

May Mother Earth produce

A very, very large number

Of aspiration-children.

```

38210

```

Let us all

Concentrate on

The hope-beauty.

```

38211

```

Let us all

Meditate on

The promise-fragrance.

```

38212

```

My Lord examines

Not my mind-capacities

But my heart-qualities.

```

38213

```

Two things I like deeply:

The life of multiplicity

And

The heart of unity. ```

38214

```

Alas,

I still do not know

What I am seeking

In my life! ```

38215

```

May my aspiration-heart

Always bring victory

To my Lord Supreme.

```

38216

```

My heart-bird

I play with

And cherish.

```

38217

```

The restlessness

Of my mind-monkey

Takes away

The little poise

My life has and is.

```

38218

```

Self-doubt

Darkens the mind. ```

38219

```

Self-doubt

Weakens the heart. ```

38220

```

Self-doubt

Takes us away from

The Feet of God.

```

38221

```

Self-doubt

Is pride incarnate. ```

38222

```

Alas,

Even in my spiritual life,

Desire is

My self-styled boss. ```

38223

```

My soul

Is

My inspiration-donor.

```

38224

```

Indulgence, to me,

Is a foreign word —

I do not want to know

Its meaning. ```

38225

```

My Lord,

You have accepted me,

My all.

How fortunate I am! ```

38226

```

Each time

A new challenge appears,

God blesses us

With added capacities. ```

38227

```

I do not dare to be

A God-supporter.

I want to be only

A God-server. ```

38228

```

God’s Heart and God’s Mind

Have not yet learned

The meaning of indifference.

```

38229

```

Every morning

My Lord blesses me

With a new Message.

May these Messages

Echo and re-echo

In the depths of my heart. ```

38230

```

Transformation you want?

Then happily accept

Your Master’s scoldings

As his blessings. ```

38231

```

There is no such thing

As small betrayal and big betrayal.

Betrayal itself

Is the destruction-harbinger. ```

38232

```

To me,

Success is nothing short of

Desire-bondage.

```

38233

```

My ego’s pride

Has to be destroyed,

Here and now.

```

38234

```

My aspiration-days

Can never be buried

In oblivion.

```

38235

```

Success

Is a heavy load

We are forced to carry.

```

38236

```

We must always

Be sincere

To our God-choice.

```

38237

```

God is

His ever-smiling

Face.

```

38238

```

God has given us

So many divine qualities.

Alas,

We keep them unused! ```

38239

```

A oneness-heart

Knows no strangers. ```

38240

```

God always calls me

By my inner name:

Aspiration-flame.

```

38241

```

Attachment-trees

Must be uprooted,

No matter where they grow.

```

38242

```

God does not want me

To retire.

His only Message to me is:

“Aspire, aspire, aspire!” ```

38243

```

My soul

Loves to measure

The depths of my aspiration-cries.

```

38244

```

Adore, adore, adore

God’s Feet!

Nectar-Delight

You are bound to drink. ```

38245

```

This moment,

God’s Eye frightens me.

Next moment,

God’s Eye energises me. ```

38246

```

My Lord,

I need constant Grace-abundance

To please You

In Your own Way. ```

38247

```

Be always ready.

God may call you

At any moment.

```

38248

```

When we go to God,

We must leave behind

Our self-doubt-torture.

```

38249

```

When I live

In my God-consciousness-heart,

No fear, no doubt, no ignorance-night

Can dare to touch me. ```

38250

```

I follow God

When I do not do well;

God follows me

When I do extremely well

In my spiritual life.

```

38251

```

I must first become

A God-believer —

Only then can I become

A God-lover. ```

38252

```

God is extremely pleased with me

Because I went to see Him

Fully prepared.

```

38253

```

I was given the chance to choose

Either ignorance-night

Or wisdom-light.

I chose ignorance-night

Because it was so tempting.

```

38254

```

I make my Lord extremely sad

When I tell Him

That the outer world

Has no meaning for me. ```

38255

```

The only purpose

Of God’s Appearance

Is not to frighten me,

But to awaken my heart. ```

38256

```

My success-life

And my progress-heart

Are all due to

My Lord’s unconditional Compassion. ```

38257

```

When I see God,

He always starts

The conversation.

```

38258

```

I am now all determination.

I shall never allow my mind

To eclipse

The beauty of my heart. ```

38259

```

Again and again,

I try to escape

From my Lord’s Heart,

Only to be caught! ```

38260

```

I am no longer

In my mind-house;

I am now

In my heart-home. ```

38261

```

Alas,

Will the day ever dawn

When I shall feel

That it is a great privilege

To work for my Lord Supreme?

```

38262

```

Some were born to be great,

While others were born to be good.

Still others were born

To establish an implicit oneness

With God.

I do believe

I belong to the third category.

```

38263

```

God becomes proud of me

When He sees that I am fully satisfied

With next to nothing.

```

38264

```

If it is true

That doubt attacks us ruthlessly,

Then it is equally true

That our faith in God

Can protect us easily.

```

38265

```

Since I am not ready

To listen to God,

How do I expect God

To be around me? ```

38266

```

Alas,

I do not know how and why

My mind, my vital and my body

Sided with ignorance-night. ```

38267

```

The mind dares

To defy God. ```

38268

```

The heart dares

To embrace God. ```

38269

```

When God hears

My child-heart-song,

He strikes

His Victory-Gong. ```

38270

```

Power does not care for light,

But light cares for power —

For the transformation of power.

```

38271

```

Power

Empty of light

Is the darkest night.

```

38272

```

God smiles and smiles

When He hears

Our sweet miracle-stories.

```

38273

```

When the mind and the heart

Are in full agreement,

World-harmony

Will not remain a far cry. ```

38274

```

The inner light

Is of paramount importance

To illumine the outer darkness.

```

38275

```

The pinnacle of all our dreams

Should be God-realisation

For God’s Sake.

```

38276

```

My purity-breath

And God’s Heart

Are two intimate friends.

```

38277

```

Every day

I must love God more and more

Until I breathe my last.

```

38278

```

I must discover

My life’s hidden treasure:

Its God-fulfilment-secret.

```

38279

```

Anything divine

Never falters;

It reaches its destination

At God’s choice Hour. ```

38280

```

My confidence comes

Not from my outer actions,

But from my self-offering

To God’s Will. ```

38281

```

I do not want

World-acclaim;

I want only

World-receptivity. ```

38282

```

God writes His Signature

Upon my heart

Only when I am ready to obey Him

In everything I do. ```

38283

```

For the past few days,

God has been telling me

Only one thing:

“Take Me, My child, take Me.

I am all yours.”

```

38284

```

The sadness

Of Mother Earth

Is unimaginably

Overwhelming. ```

38285

```

The New Year has descended

To help us ascend

To our highest heights.

```

38286

```

Man pleads with God

Not to hide.

God says to man,

“My child, it is you

Who are trying to hide from Me

All the time!” ```

38287

```

God suffers and suffers

When I show indifference

To my fellow human beings.

```

38288

```

God tells me that,

Until my surrender becomes happy,

He cannot accept me as His own.

```

38289

```

Nothing can be as sweet

As the seeker’s

Gratitude-heart-tears.

```

38290

```

The suspicion of the mind

My Lord takes very seriously. ```

38291

```

My worst enemy

Is

My lack of divine confidence.

```

38292

```

My Lord,

How can I make You truly happy?

“My child,

First make yourself happy

In a divine way.

I shall then immediately be happy.” ```

38293

```

When the mind does not think,

It does not sink —

It just starts flying and flying.

```

38294

```

Among all the earthly virtues,

Compassion stands

As by far the best.

```

38295

```

My Lord, I am crying for You.

Where are You?

“My child,

Just a little more sincerity is needed.

Then I shall appear

Right before you.” ```

38296

```

If I want to satisfy my mind,

Then I have chosen

The wrong path.

```

38297

```

Although the road is arduous,

I know I shall definitely arrive

At my destined Goal

At God’s choice Hour. ```

38298

```

It is easy to say

That God does not care for me,

But do I ever think of caring for God?

```

38299

```

God enjoys listening to me

Singing

In my heart-garden.

```

38300

```

Discouragement,

You must always remain

A stranger to my life.

```

38301

```

My Lord is coming nearer and nearer,

Precisely because my faith in Him

Is increasing —

Not by inches, but by miles. ```

38302

```

Two dangerous enemies:

Fear and doubt. ```

38303

```

Empty your heart;

God will fill it

With His Abundance.

```

38304

```

Give up what you have;

God will give you

What He is.

```

38305

```

Serve self-givingly;

God will give you everything,

Most generously.

```

38306

```

I must love myself first,

Sincerely and divinely.

Only then can I be of any service

To mankind. ```

38307

```

A man of faith

Can attain

Anything he wants to.

```

38308

```

I can succeed without fail

In my inner life,

If I do not have any pretence.

```

38309

```

The mind that goes out

Wandering

Has to be brought into

The heart of peace. ```

38310

```

When my Lord is blessing me,

I can welcome

Not only the Unknown,

But even the Unknowable. ```

38311

```

If there is no self-control,

Then we are bound to have

Misfortune-miseries.

```

38312

```

I look at my Lord

With two tearful eyes;

My Lord looks at me

With His Compassion-Beauty-Eye. ```

38313

```

First we must love the world,

See the world, feel the world —

Only then will God give us

His All. ```

38314

```

We can surmount

The greatest obstacles

If we learn the art

Of constant self-giving

To the Will

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

38315

```

Practise the feeling of oneness.

Do not try to go ahead of others.

You are bound to be supremely happy.

```

38316

```

When I sincerely pray,

My Lord lifts my heart up

To His highest Abode.

```

38317

```

No darkness-night

Can forever last —

It has to end at dawn.

```

38318

```

My mind needs faith;

My heart needs courage —

Only then can I be

A real instrument of God. ```

38319

```

My love

Is my strength.

My strength

Is my God-surrender-life. ```

38320

```

My true love of God

Can have

No fear of death.

```

38321

```

Every heart-touch

Must have God-service

In it.

```

38322

```

If we do not have faith in God,

We are bound

To either miss or lose

Everything. ```

38323

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

May I centre my heart

In Your Compassion, Sweetness

And Fondness-Heart. ```

38324

```

Have faith in God.

He will definitely do everything

In and through you

For the full manifestation of His Glory

Here on earth.

```

38325

```

We can truly help the world

If we are consecrated

To a very lofty ideal.

```

38326

```

I shall no more walk along

My darkness-mind-road.

I am determined to walk,

Run and sprint

Along my heart’s sunlit path.

```

38327

```

I must be brave —

Both in my inner life

And in my outer life.

Only then

Will my Lord have ample faith

In my constant service to His Will. ```

38328

```

Since I am a true God-seeker,

I must not forget

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

38329

```

Not my first duty

But my only duty

Is to love my Master

And please my Master

At every moment of my life.

```

38330

```

Progress —

One heart-flower

At a time!

```

38331

```

God’s omnipotent Will

Is

Inescapable.

```

38332

```

The perfection-promise of my life

I must make

To my Lord Supreme.

```

38333

```

Finally

The days and nights

Of my doubting mind

Have expired. ```

38334

```

Ingratitude

Deserves

An early grave.

```

38335

```

It is extremely difficult

To shatter

Attachment-bondage-chains.

```

38336

```

My Lord fulfils

Only my heart’s

Longing-choices.

```

38337

```

I must get approval first

From my Lord Supreme

Before I say or do anything

In my life. ```

38338

```

My Lord cherishes

My heart’s

Inner poise.

```

38339

```

I must make my heart

Absolutely pure

To receive my Lord’s

Blessing-Abundance. ```

38340

```

No more, my ingratitude-mind,

No more!

I have cut off my connection

With you. ```

38341

```

My aspiration-tears

And my dedication-smiles

I always carry with me

Wherever I go. ```

38342

```

Forgiveness

Is the height

Of wisdom-delight.

```

38343

```

Only God’s Silence-Smile

Has the power

To change my life.

```

38344

```

Humility runs

Very fast

In the spiritual race.

```

38345

```

I pray

In my outer life. ```

38346

```

I cry

In my inner life. ```

38347

```

Anything divine

Shines

With the light of

The higher worlds. ```

38348

```

Truth

Directly descends

From Heaven.

```

38349

```

God feeds us first,

And then He asks us

To speed up

Our progress-adventure. ```

38350

```

Anything that is made

By God’s Heart

I most devotedly adore.

```

38351

```

No material wealth

Can help us

In our God-realisation-task.

```

38352

```

Do not blame the circumstances!

You must rise far above

The domain of circumstances.

```

38353

```

We cannot buy

God’s Love. ```

38354

```

To lose faith in God

Is to lose

The indispensable Friend.

```

38355

```

My heart

Is immortalised

By God’s very special Presence.

```

38356

```

My Lord,

I want to give You everything,

But, alas,

I have practically nothing

To offer You!

```

38357

```

My Lord, I promise You,

I shall not fail You any more.

I shall bring You only joy,

In boundless measure. ```

38358

```

Every day

I must strengthen

My God-dedication-service.

```

38359

```

God tells me

That when I come to see Him,

I must not leave behind

Any part of my existence. ```

38360

```

I know only one thing:

I live entirely

On God’s Grace.

```

38361

```

My Lord,

My heart-tears

Cannot adequately express

The Beauty of Your Eye. ```

38362

```

God never asks me

To give Him

What I do not have.

```

38363

```

My Lord,

If You really love me,

Then bind me and blind me

To receive all Your Love, Affection,

Sweetness and Fondness

From You. ```

38364

```

My Lord,

As my desires are endless,

Even so,

The Forgiveness of Your Heart

Is also endless.

```

38365

```

My Lord,

You are Your Compassion-Eye,

Twenty-four hours a day!

```

38366

```

Dive deep within!

You will be able to make yourself

The master of your own fate.

```

38367

```

There is only one way

To be successful in life:

Always look

On the bright, brighter, brightest

Side of life.

```

38368

```

Do not get lost in books.

Get lost only

In your heart-beauty,

Your heart-fragrance! ```

38369

```

My philosophy

Is not the philosophy of hope,

But the philosophy of promise.

```

38370

```

Be careful of your age!

Age can either enrich your heart

Or impoverish your life.

```

38371

```

Let your heart-whispers

Guide your outer life. ```

38372

```

Life is too short

To think of others’

Wild criticism.

```

38373

```

I must value every moment,

For every moment

Significantly counts.

```

38374

```

No harm in trying

In a new way! ```

38375

```

No harm in trying

To love and serve the world

In a new way.

```

38376

```

No harm

In constant self-giving. ```

38377

```

No harm in dreaming

Of fulfilling God

In God’s own Way.

```

38378

```

Live your life

Deep within

Instead of asking your life

To run the fastest. ```

38379

```

O my life,

When will you come to learn

That time is most valuable?

```

38380

```

When I do not think of God,

My life immediately becomes

Boring.

```

38381

```

Make your outer life beautiful

In many, many ways.

Try to change your old lifestyle.

```

38382

```

If there is no order in life,

Satisfaction in perfection

Will never come into being.

```

38383

```

The nature of life

Is to go forward.

Why, alas,

Why am I looking backward? ```

38384

```

Sweet memories of my soul

Are strengthening my heart

And brightening my face.

```

38385

```

Find out what you are made of —

Whether you are made of clay

Or you are made of

God’s Nectar-Delight. ```

38386

```

Nothing divine

Can be

Oversupplied.

```

38387

```

O my heart’s indomitable courage,

I beg of you,

Do come back again!

```

38388

```

My Lord,

To my greatest joy

I now find myself

In Your Forgiveness-Ocean. ```

38389

```

Keep your ego

Unfed and unnoticed. ```

38390

```

I am so happy

That my mind is no more drowning

In self-doubt.

```

38391

```

Be one-pointed

In everything that you do and say,

If success is all you want.

```

38392

```

Do not allow your mind

To make fun of

Your heart.

```

38393

```

When I do not please my Lord

In His own Way,

My mind becomes

Frozen with fear. ```

38394

```

My soul, my heart and I

Are fully prepared

To become explorers

Of inner space. ```

38395

```

Each life

Is a very special

God-Heart-Song.

```

38396

```

My Lord,

When will You be happy?

“My child,

I will be happy

When I can make you

Exactly like Me.” ```

38397

```

My prayer-life

Is my Lord’s highest Victory

Over my ignorance-night.

```

38398

```

Pride-tragedies

Are constant occurrences. ```

38399

```

O my mind, you are a stark fool!

Your soul is not distant —

It is nearer than the nearest

And your immediate friend. ```

38400

```

The questions that are foremost

In your mind

Are of no consequence

To God. ```

38401

```

Do not blend in with the crowd

If you really want to offer

Something special

To the world. ```

38402

```

Do not blame humanity.

Humanity is chosen by God Himself,

And God will take care of humanity.

```

38403

```

If you are a real seeker,

Then no examination

Can intimidate you.

```

38404

```

To leave your imprint

Upon the world,

Constant self-offering

Is of paramount importance. ```

38405

```

Do not count your enemies —

Your time

Is extremely precious.

```

38406

```

Count your friends —

And then

Count on them.

```

38407

```

I have cancelled my plan.

I shall no more stand for

Greatness-supremacy.

```

38408

```

Forgiveness,

In God’s Eye,

Is a highly sought prize.

```

38409

```

Shun your desires,

Or your desires

Will eventually make fun of you.

```

38410

```

Mine is a heart

That accepts challenges

From the rest of the world.

```

38411

```

Mine is a life

Of world-torture-tolerance. ```

38412

```

Pride does not know

That its downfall

Is imminent.

```

38413

```

God’s Tears

Awaken my heart. ```

38414

```

My tears

Confuse God. ```

38415

```

If you stay for a long time

Inside your mind-jungle,

Then you are bound to get

Disastrous news. ```

38416

```

Our hearts, by nature,

Trust everyone

And everything.

```

38417

```

God loves to smile.

God loves to cry.

Everything

He loves to enjoy. ```

38418

```

Each soul

Is

A divine God-mystery.

```

38419

```

My love-ocean

Is always flooded

With devotion and aspiration.

```

38420

```

The summits

Of our divinity

We must eventually climb.

```

38421

```

God’s Manifestation-Victory

Is not

A far cry.

```

38422

```

My Lord,

Every day I give You

A hard time.

Are You not displeased with me?

“No, My child,

On the contrary, I enjoy it.” ```

38423

```

If we do not love

To our fullest heart-capacity,

How are we going to see God?

```

38424

```

My life’s progress-journey

Is quite satisfactory,

According to my Lord Supreme.

```

38425

```

My heart-relationship

With God

Is beautiful and powerful —

And will forever endure. ```

38426

```

There is only one plan

For the seekers:

A oneness-family-plan.

```

38427

```

From Heaven every day

My heart receives

Soundless Sound-Messages.

```

38428

```

Alas,

When am I going to listen

To God’s Stage-Performance-Music?

I have been hearing

Only background music.

```

38429

```

My heart’s silence-tears

Are

Extremely, extremely powerful.

```

38430

```

Without a silence-mind,

We cannot transcend

Ourselves.

```

38431

```

I do not want

The Hall of Fame

Nor, needless to say,

The Hall of Shame.

I want only

The Hall of God-Worship. ```

38432

```

My Lord wants to read

My progress-report

Every hour,

Not every day. ```

38433

```

The mind

Is

A volley of questions.

```

38434

```

The heart

Knows only one answer:

“My Lord Supreme

Knows all the answers.” ```

38435

```

Man says to God:

“My Lord,

Please forgive me.”

```

38436

```

God says to man:

“My child,

Do not forget Me.”

```

38437

```

God’s Breath

Is the life

Of all human beings.

```

38438

```

Whenever I get a chance,

I immediately go and touch

My Lord’s Feet

And clasp them

With all my heart’s

Prayerful and soulful

Love and affection.

```

38439

```

Even an iota of gratitude

From my heart

Satisfies my Lord Supreme.

```

38440

```

God does not keep

Any secrets from us.

His Heart is an open book.

But we try to keep

Everything secret from Him.

```

38441

```

The heart is the only place

Where happiness

Can easily be found.

```

38442

```

You can become

A God-seeker

And a God-seer

Only by virtue of

Your selfless action.

```

38443

```

When I bind God

With my love,

His Joy is unimaginable.

```

38444

```

When I blind God

With my affection,

His Love for me

Exceeds even His Joy. ```

38445

```

Gladly

God surrenders Himself

To our crying hearts

And weeping eyes. ```

38446

```

If we can forgive

Our fellow human beings,

God extols us —

Our divine qualities —

To the skies.

```

38447

```

It is an extremely difficult task

To empty the mind

Of suspicion and jealousy.

```

38448

```

No ritual

Will be able to take us

To God.

```

38449

```

It is our life-offering

That will take us

To God.

```

38450

```

God’s Forgiveness-Feet

And my heart-tears

Are always to be found

Together. ```

38451

```

God does not need

A great speaker;

He only needs

A good seeker. ```

38452

```

God-listeners

Are the foremost seekers

In God’s Heart.

```

38453

```

Without sleepless

And breathless devotion,

We will never be able to sit

At God’s Feet. ```

38454

```

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart

And Compassion-Eye

Have been searching for me

For a long, long time. ```

38455

```

I am going back

To my God-obedience-life

Once again.

```

38456

```

Two things I have to learn:

My Lord,

I love Your Heart;

My Lord,

I need Your Feet.

```

38457

```

Hesitation

On any plane

Is a destructive force.

```

38458

```

My soulful prayers

And my self-giving life

Are always eager

To please my Lord

In His own Way.

```

38459

```

My heart-wish

And my soul-will —

I am in between them,

Praying and meditating. ```

38460

```

To realise God

I do not need

An austerity-cave.

```

38461

```

To realise God

I need only

My heart-temple,

Where I can

Pray and meditate.

```

38462

```

Intermittent devotion

Is

A ridiculous and stupid action.

```

38463

```

When desire-life has ended,

Aspiration-life then begins —

To realise God,

To be part and parcel

Of His Vision-Light.

```

38464

```

My life has grown into

A God-blossoming

Heart-love.

```

38465

```

We must improve

Our eagerness

And our selflessness

Every day without fail. ```

38466

```

The aspiration-heart

Does not accept

Permanent failure.

```

38467

```

Lethargy

Not only delays

Our spiritual life,

Lethargy

Also destroys

Our God-hunger. ```

38468

```

No more

A giant doubt-tree,

No more!

```

38469

```

My Lord,

Do bless me,

My life,

With a faith-heart-plant. ```

38470

```

Enthusiasm

Is a dynamic force

That carries us

To our destined Shore. ```

38471

```

Self-mastery

Is of utmost importance

In the spiritual life.

```

38472

```

Deep inside

Each divine moment

There is a sincere

God-hunger. ```

38473

```

My Lord,

Your Eye is the Breath

Of all my heart-dreams.

```

38474

```

Silence soars

And

Silence roars

At God’s choice Hour. ```

38475

```

I am totally lost

Between two worlds:

The God-hunger-world

And the desire-hunger-world. ```

38476

```

When we are inside

The Heart of God,

Not only do we know everything,

But we also become everything. ```

38477

```

To discover God,

We must choose the path

That leads inward.

```

38478

```

A God-surrender-life

Knows

No boundaries.

```

38479

```

We are reaching —

Slowly and unmistakably —

Our fast-blossoming future.

```

38480

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is now helping me

To find my way back

To God’s Heart-Home. ```

38481

```

I keep

My surrender-life-door

Open

Twenty-four hours a day. ```

38482

```

Perfection-journeys

Defy

All bondage-boundaries.

```

38483

```

A pure heart

Is proudly treasured

By God Himself.

```

38484

```

Only self-givers

Are allowed to fly

To God’s highest Palace.

```

38485

```

Desire-life-villages,

Towns and cities

Are all overcrowded.

```

38486

```

Expectation,

Truly you are

Incurable.

```

38487

```

My Lord

Has stopped reading

Complaint-mail

Altogether. ```

38488

```

Only God’s Grace

Will be able to help us

Overcome

All our miseries. ```

38489

```

The human life

Is nothing short of

A success-obsessed life.

```

38490

```

Do not allow your desire-life

To bind

Your aspiration-heart.

```

38491

```

Only time will tell

Whether each individual

Is progressing.

```

38492

```

God comes to us

Not by chance

But at His choice Hour.

```

38493

```

As the wind

Is restless,

Even so, the mind

Is restless,

Extremely restless.

```

38494

```

A self-giving seeker

Before long

Will obtain

Mastery over life. ```

38495

```

At long last,

The mind wants help

From the heart.

```

38496

```

Endless God-fulfilling

Opportunities

Knock at our heart-door

Every day. ```

38497

```

Of all my real friends,

Simplicity stands first. ```

38498

```

The desire-life

Becomes

An unavoidable prisoner.

```

38499

```

From dreamland

To reality

Is not far, very far.

They are adjacent

To each other.

```

38500¹

```

Oh, My Journey’s Half!

You and I are

the silver tears

Of a God-crying heart

And

the gold smiles

Of a God-serving life.

```

ST 38500. This poem marks the halfway point in the Seventy-seven thousand Service-Trees. Sri Chinmoy began this marathon literary journey on 24 January 1998. In the first edition the poem was in Sri Chinmoy's handwriting, reproduced on a pale blue page with birds drawn all around it, signed: "Madal | C.K.G. | Chinmoy Kumar Ghose | Sri Chinmoy | Aug 27th, 2004"↩

38501

```

I enter into the mind

To make order

Out of absolute chaos.

```

38502

```

May my heart-joy

Enter into

My life-depression.

```

38503

```

Where am I?

I am always

In my God-obedience-

Protection-room. ```

38504

```

Spiritual commitment

Is not for a day

Or a month or for years.

It is for Eternity. ```

38505

```

My soul

Is now in full charge

Of my mind.

```

38506

```

I hope not for

Fleeting success

But for

Enduring progress. ```

38507

```

My heart-home

Does not permit

Anxiety-worry-messengers.

```

38508

```

My Lord,

Do not allow me to know

Your Cosmic Plan.

You have already made me

So happy.

Let me only remain

At Your Compassion-Feet.

```

38509

```

May my shaky faith

Be transformed into

An adamantine faith

In God. ```

38510

```

Surrender

Is our life’s

Greatest strength

That we offer to God. ```

38511

```

Ignorance-night

Cannot harm us,

For God unconditionally

Saves us. ```

38512

```

I wish to be

A God-service-doer

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

38513

```

Prayer

Is not

Conversational.

```

38514

```

Prayer

Is

Devotional.

```

38515

```

Each spiritual Master

Tries his very best

To bring humanity

To Divinity. ```

38516

```

I try to arrive

At God’s Palace

With my gratitude-heart-flowers.

```

38517

```

God’s Love-Whispers

Protect my life

From hostile forces.

```

38518

```

We can ask God

For anything we want.

Again, it is He

Who has to choose

Which desires

He wants to fulfil. ```

38519

```

If you are self-giving,

At the end of

Your journey’s close,

You will automatically get

Your Heavenly citizenship.

```

38520

```

I want to be

My Lord’s

Dauntless Victory-warrior.

```

38521

```

Prayer

Wants to find God

High above.

```

38522

```

Meditation

Wants to find God

Deep within.

```

38523

```

God does not mind

If we do not thank Him,

But our hearts will be tortured

By our giant stupidity. ```

38524

```

God does not want us

To explain Him.

He only wants

Our heart, mind, vital and body

To entertain Him.

```

38525

```

God will give you

His All,

Provided your receptivity

Is deep and vast. ```

38526

```

I am begging and begging God

To take me

And place me at His Feet

Forever. ```

38527

```

My Lord’s Eye

Is

The breath of my heart.

```

38528

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is more than enough for me

In this life of mine.

```

38529

```

Those who do not pray to God

And meditate on God

Only believe in

Emergency prayer. ```

38530

```

I pray to God

To enter into my heart

Most powerfully

So that I will value

My own inner life.

```

38531

```

God dearly loves

My heart’s

Gratitude-tears.

```

38532

```

If you want

To work for God

And for nobody else,

Then be fully prepared.

God may examine you

At any moment. ```

38533

```

If you love God,

Then walk along

The path of devotion.

Yours will be

The shortest distance.

```

38534

```

Move forward, move forward!

Your goal is ahead of you.

And if your speed is negligible,

No harm.

Just go forward, go forward!

```

38535

```

The heart

Cries

For God.

```

38536

```

The mind

Seeks

For God.

```

38537

```

The soul

Only wants to please God

In God’s own Way.

```

38538

```

Meditation

Deepens our moments,

And our moments

Enlighten us. ```

38539

```

A oneness-heart

Gets everything that it needs

From God.

```

38540

```

My Lord,

You are

Your Oneness-Declaration.

```

38541

```

The soul

Most sincerely tries to share

With the heart, mind, vital and body

Light and delight

In boundless measure.

```

38542

```

My Lord,

I have taken shelter

At Your Feet.

No matter what You want to do

In and through me,

I am all ready. ```

38543

```

A confidence-heart

Is loved by

God’s Oneness-Pride.

```

38544

```

O my mind,

Your approach to God

Is reckless.

```

38545

```

We are all God’s children.

God is eager to show us

The way

To where He will be seated

At our Destination.

```

38546

```

Not my capacity

But my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Carried me

To His Feet. ```

38547

```

Peace from our hearts

Every day

Can perform hundreds of miracles

To help the outer world. ```

38548

```

My heart-flower

Will not allow

My doubting mind

To touch it. ```

38549

```

My aspiration-cry

Is my own

Life-breath.

```

38550

```

God

Feeds His Heart

With His own Vision-Eye.

```

38551

```

We feed God

With our aspiration-cry-tears. ```

38552

```

A God-eagerness-hunger

Each God-seeker

Must develop.

```

38553

```

Divinity’s Sun

Is deep within

My heart.

I must discover it. ```

38554

```

Spiritual disobedience

Is

Spiritual death.

```

38555

```

May every day

My heart-flames

Become stronger

And more beautiful. ```

38556

```

My heart and God’s Heart

Enjoy their correspondence

Deeply.

```

38557

```

The heart-temple

Has to remain

Always absolutely pure.

```

38558

```

Simplicity

Has the capacity

To smash the pride

Of complexity. ```

38559

```

Ignorance-possessions

Have no value

In the inner world.

```

38560

```

Be vigilant

With your suspicious mind. ```

38561

```

Mother Earth

Has to be treated

With utmost humility.

```

38562

```

God-commitment

Is in itself

Tremendous joy.

```

38563

```

The higher Self

Has to come down

And illumine

The lower self. ```

38564

```

The doubting mind

Can never think

That something

Can be perfect. ```

38565

```

Imagination, inspiration

And illumination

Are three very important members

Of God’s Family. ```

38566

```

Willingness and cheerfulness

Are like the beauty and fragrance

Of two flowers.

```

38567

```

Only our service

To humanity

Can save us.

```

38568

```

We can never

Overestimate

The heart of joy.

```

38569

```

The heart-cries

Must have

Sincerity, purity and integrity.

```

38570

```

Doubt and pride

Are nothing short of

Destructive forces.

```

38571

```

God knows both

How to conceal Himself

And how to reveal Himself

At every moment. ```

38572

```

May my love of God

Be far beyond

Any argument.

```

38573

```

As ignorance-night

Overwhelms us,

Even so, wisdom-light

Can do the same. ```

38574

```

The purity of the heart

Is

A very rare achievement.

```

38575

```

Every day

Each seeker must fulfil

His God-appointed task.

```

38576

```

I am

A God-sent pilgrim

On life’s dedication-road.

```

38577

```

We must serve the world

With God’s Hand

And through God’s Will.

```

38578

```

To have implicit faith

In God

Is to remain very close

To God. ```

38579

```

A life of unconditional surrender

Is a most outstanding

Leap forward.

```

38580

```

My Lord,

An intelligence-mind

I want not.

```

38581

```

My Lord,

A wakeful heart

I want.

```

38582

```

Now that everything

Has touched rock-bottom

In my life,

I feel that things

Can only get better.

```

38583

```

Do not allow your past

To challenge you

And darken your spirit.

```

38584

```

No dream of a seeker

Will remain unfulfilled

Indefinitely.

```

38585

```

Each God-service-opportunity

Is

A most significant achievement.

```

38586

```

Do not forget

Even one

God-manifestation-possibility.

```

38587

```

The promises of the mind

Are shallow,

And, what is worse,

They are totally empty. ```

38588

```

My heart

Is now sailing away

From its old shores

Of sadness and fear. ```

38589

```

Each seeker

Is entitled to bask in

His Master’s

God-fulfilling glories. ```

38590

```

The mind

Is never at home

When God comes

With His Compassion-Eye

To visit.

```

38591

```

Nobody can escape

God’s Compassion-Net. ```

38592

```

Divine love

Can never be limited

Either in the inner world

Or in the outer world. ```

38593

```

My soul

Very carefully takes care of

My heart’s aspiration-flames.

```

38594

```

I hear

God’s Silence-Songs

Only to fly in the sky

Of Infinity’s glow. ```

38595

```

First pray and meditate

For the awakening

Of your inner life,

And then play

In your life-garden.

```

38596

```

Desire-thoughts

Weaken

A seeker’s heart.

```

38597

```

The best and the worst:

I know definitely

That God loves me.

This is the best thing I know.

I do not pray to God

Every day.

This is the worst thing I do.

```

38598

```

Anything that I want to find

Is already there

In the depths of my heart.

```

38599

```

At the top of our voice

We must tell the mind

To shut up.

```

38600

```

Curiosity

To know everything

Is an absurd attempt.

```

38601

```

Patience

Is a most precious virtue

In our spiritual life.

```

38602

```

When I try to feel God,

I see that

He is right inside my heart.

```

38603

```

An aspiration-heart

Creates everything

Divinely and supremely.

```

38604

```

God-Messages

Must be taken

As seriously as possible

By the mind. ```

38605

```

When I keep

My heart-door open,

God’s Compassion-Heart-River

Immediately flows. ```

38606

```

Self-importance

Ends in

Utter destruction.

```

38607

```

I must discover

My Inner Pilot

Long before

My journey’s close. ```

38608

```

O seeker,

Do not allow sleep

To pervade your life.

Allow wakefulness

To be

Your constant companion. ```

38609

```

When my heart is pure,

Doubt and fear

Do not dare to approach me.

```

38610

```

God asks me,

“My child, did you pray?”

I say to God,

“Yes, my Lord, I did.”

“Did you meditate?”

“Yes, my Lord, I did.”

“Did you think of loving Me

Unconditionally?”

“No, my Lord, I forgot.”

“My child,

To love Me unconditionally

Is the only thing

That your entire being needs.”

```

38611

```

Every day

My heart increases

Its devotion and affection

To touch my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Feet.

```

38612

```

My gratitude-heart-tears,

Where are you?

Without you

I will never be able

To enter into

My Lord’s Heart-Room. ```

38613

```

God says to me,

“Come immediately —

Not at your sweet will.”

```

38614

```

An aspiration-heart

And a dedication-life

Must soulfully throb

For God’s Arrival. ```

38615

```

I am invited by

Both sleeping earth

And wakeful Heaven.

To sleeping earth I say,

“Come with me, come with me!

I am on my way to Heaven.” ```

38616

```

Heart-melodies

Have the capacity

To make the mind

Sweet. ```

38617

```

The heart’s devotion-flowers

Have to remain always fresh

To worship the Inner Pilot.

```

38618

```

Not God’s Sound

But God’s Silence

Awakens

My sleeping heart. ```

38619

```

Each day

God opens up

A new way for me

To enter into

His Heart-Palace.

```

38620

```

The soul’s dream

Has to blossom

In the aspiration-heart

Without fail. ```

38621

```

May my life be

An ever-growing

Faith-plant.

```

38622

```

We all must build temples

Inside our heart-garden

To expedite God’s Arrival.

```

38623

```

When I suffer

Beyond my capacity,

God comes and secretly feeds

My heart. ```

38624

```

Wisdom

Is never compelled

To heave a sigh.

```

38625

```

The mind

Has the capacity

To twist everything,

Even the complete truth. ```

38626

```

Anything that is divine

Will not remain

Unseen and unappreciated

Forever. ```

38627

```

My life-breath

Is in between

My heart-beauty

And

My soul-fragrance.

```

38628

```

Self-reliance

Will never be able

To arrive

At the ultimate Goal. ```

38629

```

God-hunger

Needs no preparation

Whatsoever.

```

38630

```

Today my Lord,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Has deleted all the sad memories

Of my unaspiring past. ```

38631

```

My prayerful and soulful tears

Reach God’s Feet

Sooner than at once.

```

38632

```

Only with extreme willingness

And eagerness

Can we enjoy

Self-transcendence-delight. ```

38633

```

No human being

Can ever live on earth

Without life’s

Ups and downs. ```

38634

```

Alas,

When will I be able

To free myself

From my mind-prison? ```

38635

```

My surrender-heart

Knows the way

To God’s Bliss-Home.

```

38636

```

All human blunders

Will one day be illumined

By God’s unconditional Grace.

```

38637

```

The Victory

Of our Inner Pilot

Is absolutely inevitable.

```

38638

```

God’s most valuable possession

Is

Our fully blossomed soul.

```

38639

```

To speak ill of others,

In season and out of season,

Is definitely

A serious consciousness-crime. ```

38640

```

God hides

To surprise us.

God gets Himself caught —

Again to surprise us. ```

38641

```

Do not wait for the world

To appreciate you.

It will never happen.

Only try to enjoy

God’s Blessings,

Joy and Pride. ```

38642

```

Nothing lasts forever.

My earthly inner turmoil

Is bound to cease

Sooner or later. ```

38643

```

The mind is jealous

Of the heart

Because it knows that

God loves the heart

Infinitely more.

```

38644

```

The heart knows that

God loves the soul

Infinitely more.

But the heart,

Instead of being jealous

Of the soul,

Is extremely proud of the soul’s

Unbounded qualities and capacities. ```

38645

```

Sing your heart-songs.

God will immediately come

To bless you, bless your heart

And bless your heart-songs. ```

38646

```

O my aspiration-heart,

Do not slow down

Before the finish line-destination.

```

38647

```

My Lord Supreme

Blessingfully and proudly

Drives

My life-vehicle. ```

38648

```

My stupidity-ocean-mind

God is unable

To believe.

```

38649

```

I must be like

The One I adore.

Whom do I adore?

My Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

38650

```

God-gratitude

Has to be the home

Of all hearts.

```

38651

```

Our unspoken words

And deeds

Have unimaginable power.

```

38652

```

My God-hunger

Must reach

The four corners of the globe.

```

38653

```

My gratitude-heart

And nothing else

I shall offer

To my Lord Supreme. ```

38654

```

Discipline and regularity know

That our God-destination

Is not very far.

```

38655

```

My devotion-heart-sea

Is deep, deeper, deepest

For God to bless.

```

38656

```

May my life be

An unbroken happiness-flow,

By God’s infinite Blessings.

```

38657

```

Every morning

I make a new

Gratitude-heart-garland

For my Lord Supreme. ```

38658

```

The mountain-climber

I admire. ```

38659

```

The ocean-diver

I love. ```

38660

```

The God-lover

Here, there, everywhere

I adore.

```

38661

```

Enthusiasm

Has at long last

Found a real home

Inside my mind. ```

38662

```

A God-oneness-heart

Is constantly needed

To raise the standard

Of the world. ```

38663

```

In the beginning,

The soul pleads with the mind

To go to God.

```

38664

```

When the mind

Does not listen,

The soul forces the mind

To go to God,

And the mind does not dare

To disobey the soul. ```

38665

```

Self-styled pride

I was. ```

38666

```

Self-giving joy

I now am. ```

38667

```

Needless to say,

God-seekers, God-lovers

And God-servers

Are always in the minority. ```

38668

```

Only my Lord Supreme

Enters into my heart-room

To feed

My crying and bleeding heart. ```

38669

```

Spirituality

Is

A God-ordained discipline-life.

```

38670

```

He who wants to disappear

From the world

Will never be chosen

By God

As His hero-warrior.

```

38671

```

Insecurity

And aggression

Are room-mates.

```

38672

```

I do not want

To be rich

In my outer life

Of possession. ```

38673

```

I want only

To be rich

In my inner life

Of renunciation. ```

38674

```

God allows only His choice

Love-devotion-surrender-children

To play before Him.

```

38675

```

May the outer world

Be well disciplined

Like the inner world.

```

38676

```

To play the game

Of divine love

Is to be always beckoned

By God’s own Heart. ```

38677

```

To please God

In God’s own Way

Is the supreme secret

Of my heart-songs. ```

38678

```

God’s faithful children

Are never tired of

Offering themselves

To God’s Heart. ```

38679

```

Ignorance-bonds —

How long can they last?

No, never forever.

```

38680

```

My Lord,

Do show me the path

That is chosen by You

And nobody else. ```

38681

```

No earth-dust

Can darken

My Godward journey.

```

38682

```

The moment I see

My doubting mind,

I just run away.

```

38683

```

Brotherhood and oneness

Shall reign supreme

Before long

Here on earth. ```

38684

```

God does not want me

To share with anyone

My heart’s God-secrets.

```

38685

```

Every day

God sends messages

To my heart

By way of my soul. ```

38686

```

Rivalry-game

Will someday be replaced by

Oneness-satisfaction-game.

```

38687

```

The Master takes it

As his bounden duty

To bring to the fore

The hidden capacities and qualities

Of the seeker.

```

38688

```

A true seeker never takes

God-service to mankind

As a heavy burden.

On the contrary,

He takes it

As his privilege. ```

38689

```

Our heart-progress

Is founded upon

Our inner courage.

```

38690

```

There is no end to our fight

Against the doubting mind,

But God assures us that

Ours is the destined

Victory supreme.

```

38691

```

God-ingratitude

Is another name

For mankind.

```

38692

```

I must enter into

My heart-boat

To arrive at the Golden Shore

Of the Beyond. ```

38693

```

May my mind

Be the embodiment

Of God-faith.

```

38694

```

A simplicity-life

Knows

What true joy is.

```

38695

```

The beauty of the heart

And the dignity of life

Must be preserved.

```

38696

```

A self-giving life

Is the beauty and fragrance

Of a devotion-heart.

```

38697

```

Every day

My soul tells me

That it is eager

To make an arrangement

For me to meet with God.

Alas, I tell my soul

That I am not ready.

```

38698

```

Goodwill

Is always found

Inside a God-awakened heart.

```

38699

```

Forgiveness

Is

The ultimate victory.

```

38700

```

Worries and anxieties

Do not allow us

To approach God

Directly. ```

38701

```

Courage

Is the conqueror

Of all our human weaknesses.

```

38702

```

God does not need

A computer-mind.

He needs only

A genuine God-lover-heart. ```

38703

```

When my heart’s

Devotion-bell rings,

God dances

With unbounded joy. ```

38704

```

My heart-sky

Is twinkling and twinkling

With God’s

World-Transformation-Message. ```

38705

```

My Lord repeatedly tells me

That my mind-calculations

Are absolutely worthless

And utterly useless. ```

38706

```

There shall come a time

When my soul will be able

To succeed

In transforming my mind. ```

38707

```

My heart-bird

Is all the time

Watching the activities

Of my outer life

With untiring patience.

```

38708

```

God’s Tolerance-flooded Compassion

Has cured

My doubting mind.

```

38709

```

When we want to climb,

We must climb the tallest

Aspiration-building.

```

38710

```

Gratitude-fruit

Descends

From Above.

```

38711

```

Let us not remain any more

Unconscious

Of our inner strength.

```

38712

```

A humility-life

Is

An extraordinary achievement.

```

38713

```

I must keep my mind

Under my control

All the time.

```

38714

```

We must embrace

The beauty, light and joy

Of every moment.

```

38715

```

When God gives us something,

He gives it lovingly

And unconditionally.

```

38716

```

Positive thoughts

Create a divine will

To reach

God’s sublime Heights. ```

38717

```

Pray and meditate

With your heart’s

Adamantine will.

```

38718

```

The heart’s divine confidence

Must spread

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world. ```

38719

```

The child-heart of a seeker

Must smile at every moment

At the sorrowful world.

```

38720

```

My sunlit heart

Is

My Lord’s boundless Joy.

```

38721

```

Share your heart-love

Freely;

God will come to you

Immediately. ```

38722

```

My heart’s compassion

I must manifest

In all my activities.

```

38723

```

God the Lover

Helps us to create

Heaven on earth.

```

38724

```

God the Beloved

Helps us to create

Compassion-flood in Heaven.

```

38725

```

Consciousness-flow

Beautifies

Our inner life.

```

38726

```

Patience is needed

Both in our earthly life

And in our Heavenly life.

```

38727

```

Humanity

Does have the capacity

To become

What God wants humanity

To become.

```

38728

```

Spread the message

Of the heart,

And nothing else.

```

38729

```

Love

Earth and Heaven

As inseparably one.

```

38730

```

We can dance

Through the Gate of Heaven

With our unconditional

God-surrender. ```

38731

```

No problem

Can ever remain

Unsolved.

```

38732

```

Constant love of God

Shows us the way

To God’s Heart-Home.

```

38733

```

Slowly but steadily

And unerringly

Walk along the road

Of Nature’s perfection. ```

38734

```

Do not pull!

Do not push!

Let God do everything

In and through you. ```

38735

```

Time

Is afraid of God.

It does not dare to have

A different opinion. ```

38736

```

Love divine

Has immortal wings

To fly

In Infinity’s Sky. ```

38737

```

The sun of the heart

Is infinitely larger

Than the outer sun.

```

38738

```

We must discover

Our Heaven-palace

Inside our heart-kingdom.

```

38739

```

Life

Is for acceptance,

Not for negation.

```

38740

```

Life has to be

The perfect manifestation

Of God’s Light.

```

38741

```

Silence embodies

The beauty and fragrance

Of harmony.

```

38742

```

We must always try

To go beyond

Our earthly capacities

And

Our Heavenly qualities.

```

38743

```

We cannot touch

The Invisible,

But the Invisible

Can easily touch us

And give us

Immense joy. ```

38744

```

We must not allow speed

To blind our heart

And bind our mind.

```

38745

```

I am no longer

A victim

To my cyclone-desire-life.

```

38746

```

The finite

Loves to serve

The Infinite.

```

38747

```

The Infinite

Loves to cradle

The finite.

```

38748

```

The dawn is beautiful.

It awakens us

With its inner joy

And inner urge. ```

38749

```

Humanity’s divine face

Is veiled by

The darkest ignorance-night.

```

38750

```

O my imprisoned inner sun,

I shall liberate you

From the thickest darkness

Of my mind. ```

38751

```

I see God’s Face

Only when I become

My compassion-heart.

```

38752

```

God’s outer Presence

Is

Extremely important.

```

38753

```

God’s inner Presence

Is

Infinitely more important.

```

38754

```

Everything

Has a very special significance

In our inner life.

```

38755

```

We came into the world

To embody peace

And to reveal bliss.

```

38756

```

The inner world

Shows me

The way.

```

38757

```

The outer world

Carries me

Along the way.

```

38758

```

The questions

Of the mind

Are negligible.

```

38759

```

The questions

Of the heart

Only God can answer.

```

38760

```

My life is cradled

By energies

Both seen and unseen.

```

38761

```

Give up your desire-life.

If not, sooner or later,

Death will destroy

All your desires. ```

38762

```

Do not allow

The uncertain mind

To steer

Your life-boat. ```

38763

```

Adhere to hope.

Your hopes will one day

Definitely be fulfilled.

```

38764

```

Now is the time

To challenge

The outer world

And embrace

The inner world.

```

38765

```

God wants me

To distribute

The beauty and fragrance

Of my sleepless self-giving

To the world.

```

38766

```

The mind asks questions

But does not wait

For the answers.

```

38767

```

The heart asks questions

And indefinitely waits

For the answers.

```

38768

```

Pure aspiration

Is sure to reach

The Destination.

```

38769

```

My silence-heart

Is surrounded by

God’s Heart-Fragrance.

```

38770

```

God does not wait for us

Indefinitely.

Therefore, we must embark

On our inner journey

Immediately.

```

38771

```

May each second

Be filled

With the beauty and fragrance

Of my heart. ```

38772

```

Happily

Accept what the world

Has to give you.

```

38773

```

Happily

Give yourself away

To the world.

```

38774

```

Illumine the mind-gloom.

If not,

It will create the doom

Of your spiritual life. ```

38775

```

Do not worry

About your enemies.

God will fulfil

Your prayers. ```

38776

```

God

Will illumine

Your enemies.

```

38777

```

Illumination

Is the worst possible punishment

For your enemies.

```

38778

```

There is a higher Will

That guides

Our destiny.

```

38779

```

My Lord,

Save me

From my doubting mind!

```

38780

```

My Lord,

Save me

From my insecure heart!

```

38781

```

My Lord,

Save me

From my wild vital!

```

38782

```

My Lord,

Save me

From my unaspiring body!

```

38783

```

A soulfulness-heart

I have. ```

38784

```

A cheerfulness-mind

I need

To complete

My life’s journey. ```

38785

```

Nothing

Is foreign

To our aspiration-heart.

```

38786

```

Life

Is an endless,

Unfulfilled dream.

```

38787

```

When I listen

To my mind,

It is all calamity.

```

38788

```

When I listen

To my heart,

It is all unbounded happiness.

```

38789

```

God’s Eye

Shows me

The Invisible.

```

38790

```

God’s Heart

Shows me

The Ineffable.

```

38791

```

Be detached

From the outer

World-activities.

```

38792

```

Be attached

Only to God’s Eye,

God’s Heart

And God’s Feet. ```

38793

```

O God’s Protection-Canopy,

My heart loves you dearly

And

My life needs you constantly. ```

38794

```

Matter

Puts me to sleep. ```

38795

```

Spirit

Comes and tells me,

“Wake up, my child, wake up!

It will soon be too late.” ```

38796

```

My devotion-heart

Grows and glows

Inside my Lord’s

Heart-Garden. ```

38797

```

Each divine thought

Has something very special

To offer

To the world at large. ```

38798

```

I fly and fly

On my God-obedience-wings. ```

38799

```

I clearly see

That my mind’s darkest night

Has ended.

```

38800

```

Self-offering

Is the sweetest thing

That we can offer

To humanity. ```

38801

```

God comes to us

Only when He sees

That our aspiration-heart

Is blossoming beautifully. ```

38802

```

Soulfulness

Is of constant necessity

In our spiritual life.

```

38803

```

A purity-heart

Sees no wrong forces

In the world.

```

38804

```

How can a seeker

Ever tire of gazing at

His Lord’s Feet?

```

38805

```

When my heart-tears

Invite God,

In no time, God appears.

```

38806

```

O my mind,

I do not want to hear

Any more complaints from you

Against anybody. ```

38807

```

The sweetness of the heart

Must awaken

The sleeping mind.

```

38808

```

Meditation takes us

To our inner light

That illumines

Our inner sighs. ```

38809

```

Anything

Of my Lord Supreme

Thrills me.

```

38810

```

Only God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Satisfy my heart

And my entire being. ```

38811

```

An eagerness-heart

Must never resort to

Retirement.

```

38812

```

Do not despair,

Do not despair!

Be aware

Of your divinity. ```

38813

```

Each heart-explorer

Is

A new experience of God.

```

38814

```

My Lord,

I want to live

Only to give and give.

```

38815

```

I glow

With my heart’s soulfulness

And

With my soul’s fragrance. ```

38816

```

Only a happy thought

Can transform

The mind.

```

38817

```

My heart-joy

Completes

My earthly game.

```

38818

```

May I be protected

All the time

By positive thoughts.

```

38819

```

God’s unconditional Grace

Clears my doubts

For good.

```

38820

```

Only a hero-heart

Can carry us

To our God-Destination.

```

38821

```

My heart-tears have applied

For a God-education

In God’s Heart-School.

```

38822

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Supplies

All the seeker’s needs.

```

38823

```

God-manifestation-possibilities

Every day

Are on the increase.

```

38824

```

Shun

Your negativity-mind

As soon as possible.

```

38825

```

Look!

God has arrived

To transform your mind.

Welcome Him

With all your soulfulness-heart.

```

38826

```

There is

No place on earth

Like one’s sincerity-heart.

```

38827

```

Free-flowing love

Knows

No hostile boundaries.

```

38828

```

I must transcend

Each and every new height

With my heart’s

Aspiration-cry. ```

38829

```

Every morning

My heart reads my soul’s

Illumination-book.

```

38830

```

Alas,

I do not know why

I left my heart-garden

To live in my mind-jungle. ```

38831

```

O God-obedience-breath,

Where are you, where?

Do come and rescue me.

```

38832

```

I must no more wander

In the narrow roads

Of life.

```

38833

```

Every day

I must intensify

My God-longing

And

God-serving heart.

```

38834

```

The intellect

Is

Earth-bound.

```

38835

```

Wisdom

Is

Heaven-free.

```

38836

```

An early waking seeker

Runs fast, very fast

In the spiritual life.

```

38837

```

God does not want

An outer monument

From me.

He wants me to have

A beautiful, soulful shrine

Inside my heart. ```

38838

```

The difference between

God’s Name and God is this:

When I call God, He comes to me

Slowly and steadily;

When I call God’s Name, God comes to me

Happily, proudly and immediately. ```

38839

```

May my Lord’s

Compassion-Blessing

Blossom in my heart

Every morning of my life. ```

38840

```

The more your life struggles

For God-realisation,

The sooner you will achieve

God-realisation. ```

38841

```

When Silence talks,

I prayerfully hear. ```

38842

```

When Sound talks,

I immediately disappear. ```

38843

```

How I wish I could fly

Like my soul

In my Lord’s

Illumination-flooded Sky. ```

38844

```

God’s Heart-Home

Is the only place

Where all destinations

Converge. ```

38845

```

My outer running

Makes me

Unimaginably happy.

```

38846

```

My inner running

Makes my Lord

Abundantly proud of me.

```

38847

```

God loves to play

Hide and seek,

And each seeker

Must be fully prepared. ```

38848

```

How can

Ignorance-night

Ever be happy?

```

38849

```

My happiness

Means so much

To my Lord Supreme.

```

38850

```

Each God-manifestation-promise

Has tremendous power. ```

38851

```

Finally,

Like my heart,

My mind is all for God.

```

38852

```

My Lord,

It hurts me

When You are always

On my side. ```

38853

```

My Lord,

From now on

I shall be the one

To be always

On Your side.

```

38854

```

God’s wake-up Call

Is

My real Saviour.

```

38855

```

I am not alone —

I am always with

My God-serving determination.

```

38856

```

Service now.

Leadership later. ```

38857

```

O my mind,

Follow the heart

Before you lead the vital

And the body. ```

38858

```

My comparison-eagerness

Is the height

Of my stupidity.

```

38859

```

My heart’s Godward journey

Has tremendously strengthened

My life.

```

38860

```

To devour light and bliss

Is, indeed,

An excellent choice.

```

38861

```

A new year means

The blissful descent

Of a new consciousness.

```

38862

```

To say that

My gratitude-heart-tears

Are precious

Is, indeed, an understatement. ```

38863

```

Insecurity-waves

Know no rest. ```

38864

```

One happy smile

From my heart

Makes my Lord’s Heart

Very rich. ```

38865

```

God does not care

For my leadership. ```

38866

```

God does care

If I deny Him

My friendship.

```

38867

```

Discouragement-torture

Is

Devastating.

```

38868

```

A sleeplessly

God-pleasing heart

Is all I need.

```

38869

```

May my mind

Never be low

In inspiration-smiles.

```

38870

```

May my heart

Never be low

In aspiration-tears.

```

38871

```

My mind’s willingness

And my heart’s eagerness

Are two God-fulfilling

Hero-warriors. ```

38872

```

A bright thought

Means

A happy mind.

```

38873

```

A pure thought

Means

A good heart.

```

38874

```

A God-thought

Means

A blissful life.

```

38875

```

The doubting mind

Travels

The longest God-path.

```

38876

```

The aspiring heart

Travels

The shortest God-path.

```

38877

```

Any day

Without a doubt-filled mind

Is Heaven.

```

38878

```

When my eyes cry,

I see God

Before me.

```

38879

```

When my heart breaks,

I see God

Embracing my heart.

```

38880

```

God the Beloved

Within;

God the Lover

Without. ```

38881

```

God hungers

For my

Goodness-heart-news.

```

38882

```

My Lord

Is averse to translation

And interpretation.

```

38883

```

When my soul

Guides and leads me,

I see vividly

The death of darkness. ```

38884

```

In deep meditation,

Falsehood and truth

Can easily be separated.

```

38885

```

Desire-life-fulfilment

Is

Very, very expensive.

```

38886

```

Each God-seeker

Has to be the discoverer

Of his own

Divinity’s Infinity. ```

38887

```

God’s tearful Eye

Makes my heart

Ceaselessly bleed.

```

38888

```

God’s blissful Heart

Makes my life

Godful.

```

38889

```

My heart cries.

God immediately opens

His Compassion-Eye.

```

38890

```

God’s Heart cries.

I soulfully give God

My all.

```

38891

```

May God-hunger

Torture my heart

Sleeplessly.

```

38892

```

Who is sane?

He who loves to fulfil

God on earth.

```

38893

```

Who is insane?

He who loves to fulfil

Only himself.

```

38894

```

Ignorance-night

Loves

To compete.

```

38895

```

Wisdom-light

Loves

To complete.

```

38896

```

Play for God —

God will enjoy

An ecstasy-flood.

```

38897

```

Play with God —

God will stop time. ```

38898

```

Doubt and suspicion

Are banned from

The Kingdom

Of Light and Delight. ```

38899

```

My morning songs

Come from

The morning sun.

```

38900

```

My evening songs

Come from

The evening sky.

```

38901

```

No inner awakening,

No outer awareness. ```

38902

```

The sweet whispers

Of Mother Nature

Awaken and enlighten me.

```

38903

```

My heart deeply enjoys

The secret Touch

Of an invisible Hand.

```

38904

```

Faith is the only real

Doubt-antidote. ```

38905

```

Even God

Finds it difficult

To tame

Our wild vital. ```

38906

```

My God-surrender-life

Has crossed

The ignorance-sea.

```

38907

```

God the Dreamer

Has my heart

As His companion.

```

38908

```

Proudly

God speaks

Through my soul.

```

38909

```

Secretly

God speaks

Through my eyes.

```

38910

```

Openly

God speaks

Through my heart.

```

38911

```

Infinity

Embodies

Infinite Power.

```

38912

```

Eternity

Embodies

Eternal Light.

```

38913

```

The summit-heights

Have poise

Infinite.

```

38914

```

Delight

Speaks to me

From my soul.

```

38915

```

Love

Speaks to me

From my heart.

```

38916

```

Peace

Speaks to me

From my meditation.

```

38917

```

Perfection

Speaks to me

From my silence.

```

38918

```

May my mornings start

With a giant step

Towards God.

```

38919

```

Do not bring back

Your long-forgotten

Bondage-night.

```

38920

```

My soul-smiles

Come from

Far beyond the horizon.

```

38921

```

My heart-tears

Come from

Far beyond the horizon.

```

38922

```

Today

We call them

Helpless tears.

```

38923

```

Tomorrow

We call them

Powerful smiles.

```

38924

```

Anything unaspiring

Is a total

Spirituality-failure.

```

38925

```

God’s Fondness-Child

Is

My fountain-heart-art.

```

38926

```

God takes

Only gratitude-heart-tears

To be the members

Of His Singing Group. ```

38927

```

The ignorance-night

Veils

The heart-sky.

```

38928

```

Silence

Can easily be

The loudest noise.

```

38929

```

God looks at

My gratitude-empty heart

And sighs and sighs.

```

38930

```

Humility

Is

An extraordinary achievement.

```

38931

```

God is God’s

Compassion-flooded

Eye.

```

38932

```

God is God’s

Forgiveness-flooded

Heart.

```

38933

```

Alas, my heart

Is not yet aware

Of its inner strength.

```

38934

```

My Lord,

Your fleeting Smile

Is all my heart needs.

```

38935

```

We may not see

That God’s Fingerprint

Is all-where.

```

38936

```

Gratitude-fruit-taste

Is beyond

Comparison.

```

38937

```

To a complicated mind,

God remains

A stranger.

```

38938

```

A gratitude-heart

Can feed

Both God and man

Equally. ```

38939

```

To serve the Master

Twenty-four hours a day

Is Heaven!

```

38940

```

Flowers inspire me

More than

Human beings.

```

38941

```

Trees aspire

More than

Human beings.

```

38942

```

My vital,

How long will you remain

Bloated with pride?

```

38943

```

I must climb

The tallest

Aspiration-mountain.

```

38944

```

The mind

Does not know

What divine joy is.

```

38945

```

Compassion

Is far beyond the domain

Of all laws.

```

38946

```

My Lord can summon me

At any time;

Therefore, I keep myself

Always ready. ```

38947

```

My gratitude-tears

Purify

My entire being.

```

38948

```

Ignorance-forces,

Lo, I have smashed

Your pride!

```

38949

```

God’s Victory

Does not need my help, true,

But I am a genuine

God-Victory-Lover. ```

38950

```

Unless I remain

At my Lord’s Feet,

I am never happy

And never safe. ```

38951

```

Nobody can exhaust

Our Lord’s

Compassion-Supply.

```

38952

```

Faith means

A God-assurance-life. ```

38953

```

Limited self-offering

Is never

God’s way of thinking.

```

38954

```

May my enthusiasm-heart

Never leave me alone. ```

38955

```

Weakness on any plane

Is

An imminent disaster.

```

38956

```

To be cheerful

Means to be

A real child of Divinity.

```

38957

```

Finally, I am awakened!

I see no enemy

Within or without.

```

38958

```

Self-offering

Is a sacred and complete

God-ordained Game.

```

38959

```

I see my Lord’s Name

Shining and shining

Between

His Infinity-Smile

And

His Eternity-Cry. ```

38960

```

My life-boat plies

Between

My heart’s eagerness-shore

And

My mind’s enthusiasm-shore.

```

38961

```

My God-obedience

Has a free access

To God’s Heart-Home.

```

38962

```

God keeps

His secret Dream

Inside my mind.

```

38963

```

God keeps

His sacred Dream

Inside my heart.

```

38964

```

No matter how busy

My Lord is,

He always most affectionately

Welcomes me. ```

38965

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is my heart’s

Silence-Teacher.

```

38966

```

God’s Heart

Sings

With my gratitude-heart.

```

38967

```

God’s Breath

Dances

With my surrender-life.

```

38968

```

It is high time for me

To stop telling my life-stories

Either to God or to humanity.

```

38969

```

Love-breadth

Is beautiful. ```

38970

```

Devotion-depth

Is blissful. ```

38971

```

Surrender-height

Is Godful. ```

38972

```

Sincerity is available

At two places only:

Inside God’s Eye

And

Inside my heart.

```

38973

```

Divine and undivine,

Nothing remains unnoticed

By God’s all-pervading Eye.

```

38974

```

Not on the moon’s face

But inside my heart

I must see

My Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

38975

```

The doubting mind

Lives on

Borrowed time.

```

38976

```

The aspiring heart

Lives in

Eternal Time.

```

38977

```

Strangely enough,

The mind dearly loves

Its confusion-hallucination-market.

```

38978

```

It is, indeed, a fatal death-blow

When God’s Love

Withdraws.

```

38979

```

Hope tells me

That God

Is reachable.

```

38980

```

Promise tells me

That God is available,

Always available.

```

38981

```

Love purifies.

Devotion intensifies.

Surrender beautifies.

```

38982

```

Ingratitude

Is, indeed,

Incurable.

```

38983

```

A surrender-life

Need not stand in line

At God’s Heart-Home.

```

38984

```

Disobedience-mind

Will invariably be caught

By destruction-landmines.

```

38985

```

Doubt-disease

Is at once

Serious and dangerous.

```

38986

```

Without an invitation,

Nobody is allowed to come

To God’s Heart-Home.

```

38987

```

Right now,

My Lord is counting

My heart-tears.

```

38988

```

Right now,

My Lord is counting

My soul-smiles.

```

38989

```

My soul has tried

A thousand times

To tame my mind,

But with no success. ```

38990

```

I cannot understand

My own mind.

How do I dare to claim

To understand

The Cosmic Will of God?

```

38991

```

Who can resist

A sweetness-heart?

Not me, not me.

```

38992

```

My soul speaks to me

Only when it is asked to

By God.

```

38993

```

Believe it or not,

God can be persuaded. ```

38994

```

A silence-mind

Is the best

Meditation-result.

```

38995

```

God wants us to join Him

In His world-transforming

Task.

```

38996

```

God-obedience

Is not book-knowledge —

It is heart-wisdom in action.

```

38997

```

Where is God,

If not standing

Right at my heart-door

Waiting to be invited? ```

38998

```

God gives each seeker

Innumerable chances

To become perfect.

```

38999

```

My Lord,

You may think that I am not ready,

But I wish to tell You

That I am fully ready. ```

39000

```

May my life

Every day

Sing a victory-song

For my Lord Supreme. ```
