Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 43

42001

```

When I pray and meditate

Successfully,

I see that my life is bathed

In God’s golden Light. ```

42002

```

When I please God

In His own Way,

He immediately allows me

To be submerged

In His infinite Ocean-Bliss.

```

42003

```

My gratitude-heart

Is

My Lord’s constant miracle.

```

42004

```

Each good, new thought

Is a genuine step forward

Towards God.

```

42005

```

Each sincere prayer

Embodies

A special Breath of God.

```

42006

```

My God-surrender-heart

Is

My only joy on earth.

```

42007

```

The children of happiness

Will create a new world. ```

42008

```

We can make

God’s Victory sweeter

By making our hearts

Extremely pure. ```

42009

```

Two service-arms

And one love-heart

Are all I need

To manifest God’s Light

On earth.

```

42010

```

When the flowers sing,

I feel a new dawn

In my heart.

```

42011

```

The outer experience

Is not an experience —

It is just an experiment.

```

42012

```

The inner experience

Is the real one

That shows us how close

We are to God

Or how far

We are from God. ```

42013

```

Love, devotion and surrender

Have to be increased

In abundant measure

Every day. ```

42014

```

We can accomplish

Everything

Through our heart’s sincerity.

```

42015

```

Inspiration

Without speech

Is most powerful.

```

42016

```

My aspiration-fire

Has to challenge

My mind’s desire-waves

And conquer them. ```

42017

```

Quite often

The mind accepts

The opinions of the vital.

```

42018

```

Alas,

The mind never takes advice

From the heart!

```

42019

```

When we start our aspiration-journey

With utmost concentration,

God Himself applauds.

```

42020

```

No enthusiasm,

No success or progress —

Either in our outer life

Or in our inner life. ```

42021

```

Ego means

Exclusion of the world,

Ruthlessly.

```

42022

```

Faith means

Inclusion of the world,

Happily and proudly.

```

42023

```

Every morning

God gives me

An aspiration-examination.

```

42024

```

My faith in God

Is

My only reality.

```

42025

```

I never fight with reason —

I just ignore it. ```

42026

```

Every day

Is a most significant day

To cultivate

My spirituality-soil. ```

42027

```

Do not allow your mind

To distort your God-love,

God-devotion and God-surrender.

```

42028

```

My God-surrender

Is the best exercise

For my self-perfection.

```

42029

```

The mind loves

Self-indulgence. ```

42030

```

The vital loves

Titan-arrogance. ```

42031

```

I do not want to be claimed

Either by the old world

Or by the new world.

I want to be claimed

Only by God’s Compassion-World.

```

42032

```

If I am dependent on God,

Only then can I feel that

My life has any meaning.

```

42033

```

Listen first —

The Master is speaking!

Assimilate the Master’s messages,

Then speak to the world. ```

42034

```

We dream of God’s

Affection and Love. ```

42035

```

God dreams of possessing

Our soul, heart, mind, vital, body

And everything that we are.

```

42036

```

The visible miracles

Do not last for long. ```

42037

```

The invisible miracles

Help us tremendously

In our inner life and outer life.

```

42038

```

A heart of peace

Does not find fault

With anybody.

```

42039

```

Every day

My soul tries so hard

To generate faith

In my doubting mind. ```

42040

```

To live in the Eternal Now,

We need an ever-progressing

Child-heart.

```

42041

```

World-harmony

Is at the farthest horizon

Of humanity’s cries.

```

42042

```

Soulfully, powerfully and self-givingly

We must hoist the Victory-Banner

Of God.

```

42043

```

God is nothing

But a sleepless, all-embracing

Compassion-Net.

```

42044

```

The love of the heart

Is

An ever-increasing joy.

```

42045

```

By nature,

The heart is

Kind.

```

42046

```

By nature,

The heart is

All-loving.

```

42047

```

By nature,

The mind loves

Self-interest.

```

42048

```

By nature,

The mind dances

The dance of division.

```

42049

```

No more do I see

My life’s

Attachment-chains.

```

42050

```

The boundaries of space

Can easily be reached

By the constant remembrance

Of God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

42051

```

Inner Peace

And eternal Bliss

Live

In each other’s hearts. ```

42052

```

No human being

Can outrun

God’s Compassion-Ocean-Eye.

```

42053

```

God wants

Only one thing from me:

My God-oneness-heart.

```

42054

```

God does not request

My surrender. ```

42055

```

God does not command

My surrender. ```

42056

```

God waits and waits and waits

For the hour

When I will surrender to Him

On my own. ```

42057

```

Faith, hope and obedience

Are inseparable friends. ```

42058

```

O world, you can break my heart,

But you must not dare to break

My Lord’s Heart!

```

42059

```

God’s Tolerance

I exploit,

But He does not mind.

```

42060

```

God’s Forgiveness

I exploit,

But He does not mind.

```

42061

```

My unworthiness

Is the only thing

That God does not tolerate.

```

42062

```

A negativity-mind

Must be shunned

Sooner than at once.

```

42063

```

Is there anything

That my Lord will not do

For my unconditional

Surrender-life? ```

42064

```

I have thrown myself entirely

Into the surrender-waters

To swim with my God’s

Compassion-flooded Will. ```

42065

```

Do not search for God

Blindly and carelessly. ```

42066

```

Search for God

Selflessly and sleeplessly. ```

42067

```

God tells me that

My heart’s gratitude-tears and smiles

He treasures

More than anything else. ```

42068

```

Science is

A modern discovery. ```

42069

```

Spirituality is

An ancient discovery. ```

42070

```

Yoga was born

When God’s Eye

Cast a Glance

On earth. ```

42071

```

My Lord is working all the time,

Twenty-four hours a day,

But He says He is never busy.

How can I believe Him? ```

42072

```

The abolition

Of each ignorance-night

Is a clear sign

Of God-nearness. ```

42073

```

My heart

Does not believe in

Expectation.

```

42074

```

My heart

Believes only in

Its powerful promises

To God and mankind. ```

42075

```

It is so easy

To advise God. ```

42076

```

It is extremely difficult

To listen

To God’s Advice.

```

42077

```

God tells me to listen

To His Today’s Message,

And not to pay attention

To His Yesterday’s Message. ```

42078

```

God invites

Each and every human being

To come and play with Him,

But we are accustomed

To our usual delay.

```

42079

```

God wants to see

Our serving hands

And aspiring heart

At one and the same place. ```

42080

```

Alas, is there any day

When our mind-prayers

Do not stray?

```

42081

```

May my dreams

Be more real

Than Reality itself.

```

42082

```

I long for a time

When God and I

Can talk for a moment

Privately. ```

42083

```

I must spread

My God-manifestation-harvest

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world. ```

42084

```

If you have enthusiasm in the mind

And aspiration in the heart,

You do not need anything else.

```

42085

```

No more doubts!

No more self-doubts!

I now have become

A climbing heart-flame. ```

42086

```

My heart always prayerfully

And unconditionally agrees with

My Lord’s Will.

```

42087

```

God will be highly pleased with us

If we can enrich our lives

With aspiration-flames.

```

42088

```

Self-doubt

Is the killer

Of one’s inner joy.

```

42089

```

The outer sunrise

Is beautiful.

The inner sunrise

Is Godful. ```

42090

```

O my mind,

You must not forever ignore

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

42091

```

Gratitude grows

By self-giving. ```

42092

```

My gratitude-heart

Has no time to be with

My God-torturing mind.

```

42093

```

No hour is meaningless,

No hour is fruitless

In our God-hungry life.

```

42094

```

Each seeker

Is destined to have

A God-experience-life.

```

42095

```

When you are in

The Presence of God,

Express yourself not only properly

But also self-givingly. ```

42096

```

My heart’s sincere cries

Will know no defeat. ```

42097

```

Opportunity

Without eagerness

Is of no avail.

```

42098

```

Every day God descends

With new Promises,

But, alas, we fail to accept them.

```

42099

```

The mind’s hesitation

Will never be able to arrive

At God’s Heart-Door.

```

42100

```

A child’s heart

Knows not

What hesitation is.

```

42101

```

The inner cries

And the outer smiles

Are both essential.

```

42102

```

We must discover

The inner Truth

And not pay much attention to

The outer facts. ```

42103

```

When I do something unconditionally,

I see my Lord Supreme smiling

In the Seventh Heaven of Delight.

```

42104

```

Performance

Of the divine life

Needs no dress rehearsal.

```

42105

```

God’s Compassion-Heart

And my aspiration-heart

Are hungry for each other.

```

42106

```

Each soul has

A unique capacity

To offer

To God’s Victory. ```

42107

```

Every seeker must join

Life’s transformation-game. ```

42108

```

God’s Smile

Is

My life’s dream-fulfilment.

```

42109

```

God comes

Only to see that

The mind is frightened

To death. ```

42110

```

God comes

Only to see that

The heart is dancing

In ecstasy. ```

42111

```

If you do not wait your turn,

How can you expect

God’s blessingful Boon

To come to you? ```

42112

```

Disobedience, shame on you!

You are a disgrace,

Both to the inner world

And to the outer world. ```

42113

```

Who can hide

From God’s Compassion-Height

And His Justice-Light?

```

42114

```

Only surrender-heart

Phone calls

Does God answer.

```

42115

```

The first thing

That God needs from us

Is sincerity.

```

42116

```

The ultimate thing

That God needs from us

Is courage.

```

42117

```

I am so happy that my Lord,

Out of His Compassion,

Has taken full possession of my life.

```

42118

```

Life is not only temptation

But also aspiration. ```

42119

```

God has asked Himself a billion times

One question:

“Why have I created this world?”

```

42120

```

I shall never allow

My God-longing

Ever to sigh.

```

42121

```

Is there anybody

Who cannot be

A cheerful God-server?

```

42122

```

Is there anybody

Who cannot be

A truthful God-lover?

```

42123

```

Everybody has the right

To love God and worship God

In His own Way.

```

42124

```

I pray to God

Not to raise

My consciousness.

```

42125

```

I pray to God

To deal with my consciousness

In His own Way.

```

42126

```

Not only the angels

But we human beings also

Can please God

And fulfil God. ```

42127

```

The mind will never

Have any idea

How merciful

God eternally is. ```

42128

```

Where there is oneness,

There is bound to be fulness.

And what is fulness?

My Lord’s Heart-Home. ```

42129

```

The more we live in the mind,

The more serious problems

We create for ourselves.

```

42130

```

Although it is extremely difficult

To love the world,

We must love the world.

If not, the Goal will be denied us. ```

42131

```

The outer fire

Burns

Our existence.

```

42132

```

The inner fire

Illumines and fulfils

Our existence.

```

42133

```

The outer long distance

Frightens us. ```

42134

```

The inner long distance

Beckons us

To reach the ultimate Goal.

```

42135

```

The outer light

Dazzles us. ```

42136

```

The inner light

Immediately embraces us. ```

42137

```

Now we are afraid of fear,

But there shall come a time

When fear will be afraid of us.

How and when?

Let us pray to God to bless us

With a oneness-will.

This oneness-will will destroy the fear

That so often attacks us. ```

42138

```

When the mind is clear

And the heart is pure,

God’s supreme Victory

Will inundate the entire being. ```

42139

```

The undivine thought tells us

That we are nothing,

We are useless.

```

42140

```

The divine thought tells us

That we came from God the Absolute

And we shall always be under

The Protection-Guidance

Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

42141

```

There is a way to conquer jealousy.

Take jealousy as a piece of cloth.

Use your utmost power

To tear that piece of cloth

Into hundreds of pieces.

While tearing the piece of cloth,

Just think of all the jealousies you have.

Your jealousy is bound to disappear. ```

42142

```

Curiosity

In the spiritual life

Is our worst enemy.

```

42143

```

I must conquer the unreal in me.

The real in me is love of the Infinite;

The unreal in me is

Hunger for endless possessions. ```

42144

```

God does not mind if we miss a meal

In our outer life,

But God does mind when we miss

Even a single inner meal.

Our inner meal is composed of

Light, Peace and Bliss. ```

42145

```

God asks me to offer Him

All my secret thoughts

And to preserve all my sacred thoughts

Inside the depths of my heart. ```

42146

```

From the inner world,

We can bring to the fore encouragement

To fight against our discouragement.

And, needless to say, our victory is certain! ```

42147

```

When my heart

Starts blooming,

My Lord claps and claps.

```

42148

```

When my heart

Starts blossoming,

My Lord dances His Ecstasy-Dance.

```

42149

```

The outer music thinks and feels

That it cannot satisfy God fully. ```

42150

```

The inner music knows

That it is of God the Musician

And for God the Musician.

```

42151

```

The outer medicine

Is an ever-mounting courage. ```

42152

```

The inner medicine

Is to imagine

The infinite Power of God’s Eye.

```

42153

```

When I pray to God to make me happy,

He laughs and laughs and laughs.

He says to me:

“My child, tell Me frankly

When, where and how you are unhappy.

I shall make you happy

Only when you are ready to feel

That I shall do everything for you.

You do not have to worry at all.”

```

42154

```

In the morning,

God came and gave me

A peaceful heart.

```

42155

```

In the evening,

God came and gave me

A blissful life.

```

42156

```

God said to me:

“My child,

My Peace and My Bliss will give you

Everything that you want and need,

Provided you can unmistakably

Rely and depend on Me.” ```

42157

```

God does not mind

When we question Him,

But He does mind

When we stop listening

To His Advice.

```

42158

```

When I pray to God for something beautiful,

God says to me:

“You fool, you are already

Infinitely more beautiful

Than anything else!”

```

42159

```

When I pray to God to give me

What He has and what He is,

God says to me:

“You have completed and fulfilled

My transcendental Vision.”

```

42160

```

My Lord, what is the difference

Between my love for You

And Your Love for me?

“My child, your love for Me

Has possession-hunger in it;

My Love for you

Has Oneness-Hunger in it.”

```

42161

```

The medical world

Is success-pride. ```

42162

```

The spiritual world

Is progress-ride. ```

42163

```

A gratitude-obedience-heart

Is unparalleled. ```

42164

```

If we want to play the divine Game,

We must abide by

God’s Rules and Regulations.

```

42165

```

Meditation-time

Is incomparable. ```

42166

```

When I tell God

That I love His Creation

Most sincerely,

I thrill God to the core. ```

42167

```

My heart-tears-achievements

Are treasured

By God Himself.

```

42168

```

God is saving His Satisfaction

Regarding me

For another day —

Not today! ```

42169

```

Gratitude is as difficult

To preserve

As the flying wind.

```

42170

```

God does not want to know

What I have in my mind,

But He does want to know

What I have in my heart. ```

42171

```

May my days and nights

Be God’s loving, surrendering

And fulfilling slaves.

```

42172

```

Our God-obedience-heart-garden

Can be measureless. ```

42173

```

Love, devotion and surrender

Are three most intimate friends.

They are always found together.

```

42174

```

God cares

In every minute detail

What we are planning to do

For His Satisfaction. ```

42175

```

God’s Justice-Light

Never takes a day off. ```

42176

```

Our heart-stories about God

Must not be confined

Only to our hearts.

```

42177

```

Devotion

Is both sacred and secret

In our inner life.

```

42178

```

How can I find the inner world,

When my aspiration-wings

Are totally shattered?

```

42179

```

No sincere aspiration

Ever fails. ```

42180

```

Remember,

You are not the only one

To love and serve God —

There are many others! ```

42181

```

Adversities strengthen

Our sincerity-life. ```

42182

```

Out of His infinite Bounty,

God unsettles

Our complacent aspiration-life.

```

42183

```

God-satisfaction

I need. ```

42184

```

My self-satisfaction

I now am. ```

42185

```

Again and again,

God’s Compassion-Eye

Far exceeds its boundaries.

```

42186

```

God’s Eye

Composes

His celestial Music.

```

42187

```

God’s Heart

Mightily enjoys

His celestial Music.

```

42188

```

God does not mind

When I waste His Time,

But He does mind

When I waste my time. ```

42189

```

My heart is fully prepared

To play any role

Chosen by God

In His Cosmic Play. ```

42190

```

God whispers

All His sacred Secrets

Into my aspiration-heart.

```

42191

```

God is extremely generous

With His Time.

Can we not feel

That His Time is precious? ```

42192

```

God laughs and laughs

When I say that I know the way

To make His World better.

```

42193

```

How I wish I could be

Locked inside

My Lord’s Bliss-Heart-Room.

```

42194

```

God wants me to be

Beside Him

When He travels

In His Golden Chariot. ```

42195

```

A self-giving heart

Always stands ahead of everything

In the Eye of God.

```

42196

```

A disobedience-mind

Is

A decomposition-life.

```

42197

```

God’s Mind

Loves

The jokers.

```

42198

```

God’s Heart

Loves

The lovers.

```

42199

```

God’s Feet

Love

The worshippers.

```

42200

```

God loves

The eternal players. ```

42201

```

Negativity,

This world does not need you!

Go and try to live

In another world. ```

42202

```

When God says yes,

He means it. ```

42203

```

When God says no,

He means,

“Not now — some other day.”

```

42204

```

Our ingratitude-mind

Puzzles God. ```

42205

```

Our gratitude-heart

Thrills God immediately. ```

42206

```

Whatever God says

Is simple and direct. ```

42207

```

God is God’s sweet Will

When my name is sincerity. ```

42208

```

God is God’s iron Will

When my name is insincerity. ```

42209

```

All virtues are helpful to a degree,

But they may not be eternally helpful

When a higher Call comes.

```

42210

```

When I make a little progress,

God’s Heart bursts

With boundless joy.

```

42211

```

An aspiration-heart

Is a God-pleasing song

Every day.

```

42212

```

An aspiration-cry

Can change

The fate of one’s life.

```

42213

```

I pray to God every day

To use

His Thunder-Drum-Commands

For my perfection-hunger-life. ```

42214

```

A negativity-mind

Knows only one thing —

Misdirection.

```

42215

```

The inner cries

Activate

The outer smiles.

```

42216

```

Year after year

God has been asking me

To cast aside the opinions

Of the mind. ```

42217

```

Everyone surrenders

To God’s Will,

Only at different times.

```

42218

```

Alas,

Why do I not pay any attention

To God’s advance Warning?

```

42219

```

God answers

All my secret desires

In whispers.

```

42220

```

The human mind

Has many, many desires. ```

42221

```

The divine heart

Has only one desire —

God.

```

42222

```

Willingly or unwillingly,

Every human being

Has to have

The experience of humility. ```

42223

```

The best way to thank God

Is to give Him

A baby-heart-smile.

```

42224

```

God dearly treasures

My unconditional

Surrender-heartbeat.

```

42225

```

If I could have only one wish,

Then that wish would be

My sleepless surrender

To the Will

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

42226

```

God tells us not to be afraid of

Our extreme eagerness

To please Him

In His own Way. ```

42227

```

There is a great difference

Between our love of God

And God’s Love for us:

Our love tries to bind God;

God’s Love tries to give us

His Infinity’s Joy. ```

42228

```

When I feed God

With my gratitude-heart,

His Joy knows no bounds.

```

42229

```

A true disciple

Is extremely enamoured

Of everything

That his Master has and is. ```

42230

```

Only our God-gratitude-heart

Has the capacity

To measure our inner progress.

```

42231

```

The inner world

Does not need to know

Who I am.

```

42232

```

The outer world

Does not want to know

Why I am.

```

42233

```

I always prefer

Surrender

To expectation.

```

42234

```

I always prefer

The heart’s purity

To the mind’s brilliance.

```

42235

```

I always prefer

God’s Feet

To God’s Eye.

```

42236

```

The human in me prefers

God’s Compassion-Flood

To God’s Justice-Light.

```

42237

```

I prefer

My heart’s innocence-approach

To God

To my mind’s strength-approach. ```

42238

```

God prefers

My slow and steady approach

To my blind and fast approach.

```

42239

```

God prefers

My heart’s eagerness

To my mind’s competence.

```

42240

```

God does not care

What I have done for Him,

But He does care what I have done

For His Creation. ```

42241

```

No matter how much I devour

The nectar-dust of God’s Feet,

I am never fully satisfied!

```

42242

```

If there is devotion,

Then if we mispronounce

God’s Name,

He does not mind. ```

42243

```

If there is no devotion,

Then no matter how correctly

And how perfectly

We pronounce God’s Name,

He is not satisfied.

```

42244

```

God always loves

My heart-tears

Infinitely more than

My mind-smiles. ```

42245

```

The mind reads

Many, many books,

But it acquires only

Insignificant knowledge. ```

42246

```

The heart reads only one book:

God-love.

That book is sufficient,

For both God and the heart. ```

42247

```

Earth-realities

Are extremely painful. ```

42248

```

Heaven-dreams

Are exceedingly beautiful,

Powerful and fruitful.

```

42249

```

When we chant,

We bring down God

From Above.

```

42250

```

When we sing,

We feel God’s Presence

Inside our heart-garden.

```

42251

```

God says to me:

“Every day, you should pray to Me

Only for two things:

Enthusiasm and dynamism.” ```

42252

```

To tell the truth,

I am not afraid of

My soul’s divinity.

```

42253

```

I am afraid —

Terribly afraid —

Of my mind’s stupidity.

```

42254

```

My Lord,

I know You are pleased with me,

But I would like to know from You

How I can please You every day,

Infinitely more.

```

42255

```

God says to me:

“My child, do you not think that

My Compassion-Ocean

Is infinitely more powerful than

Your mind’s crime-waves?”

```

42256

```

God, You have secretly told me

What I should do to please You

Twenty-four hours a day,

But do tell me how I can do it. ```

42257

```

When I think of God,

I feel He is

Millions of miles away.

```

42258

```

When I pray to God,

I think He is

A thousand miles

Over my head. ```

42259

```

When I meditate on God,

I know He is watching me,

Standing right in front of me.

```

42260

```

Our expectations

Bind us very tight. ```

42261

```

Our hopes try to unite us,

Either with God’s Feet

Or with God’s Eye.

```

42262

```

God tells me not to waste

Even a fleeting moment

By thinking of

What I have not done

For Him.

```

42263

```

God wants me, from now on,

To think of what I am going to do

For Him

Every day, every hour, every minute

And every second.

```

42264

```

Even when I am late

By one fleeting second,

God’s Vision-Express Train

Does not wait for me. ```

42265

```

God tells me:

“My child, I am happy that My Greatness

Attracts your attention.

I am happy that My Goodness

Attracts your attention.

But My Oneness with you,

In your outer life and inner life,

Should attract your attention

Infinitely more.”

```

42266

```

The fulfilment of

My unconditional surrender

To God’s Will

Is the dream of all my dreams. ```

42267

```

Depend on your faith —

Your faith can and will

Do everything for you.

```

42268

```

Each heart-smile carries

The beauty and fragrance

Of Heaven.

```

42269

```

God-obedience-seekers

Are

Very, very fast runners.

```

42270

```

Every day,

In countless ways,

God is telling us how to have

A new life of aspiration and dedication. ```

42271

```

The mind enjoys

Over-populated thoughts. ```

42272

```

There is only one purpose

In life:

God-fulfilment in God’s own Way

At God’s choice Hour. ```

42273

```

The mind-books

Know how to explain

The facts.

```

42274

```

The heart-books

Know how to embody

The Truth.

```

42275

```

Self-interested people

Are not meant

For the spiritual life.

```

42276

```

God’s Pride-Prize-winners

Are those who claim

Only God as their own, very own.

```

42277

```

Doubt lengthens

Our journey

To the Goal.

```

42278

```

Faith not only shortens

Our journey

But also brings the Goal

To us. ```

42279

```

To speak of God

Is easy. ```

42280

```

To love God

Is difficult. ```

42281

```

To surrender to God’s Will

Constantly

Is the most difficult task.

```

42282

```

Our gratitude-prayers

God immediately answers. ```

42283

```

There can be no end

To God’s Dreams

Inside our aspiration-heart.

```

42284

```

Be not afraid of failure-ashes.

Inside failure-ashes

One day your perfection-promise

Will bloom. ```

42285

```

I want only God to educate

My inner life, my outer life

And my each and every thought.

```

42286

```

Each aspiration-moment

Is a golden promise of our heart

To God.

```

42287

```

I always try to keep my Lord

A little longer

Inside my aspiration-heart.

```

42288

```

When we judge others,

We lose our love-power

Immediately.

```

42289

```

Not what I want to do with my life,

But what God’s Heart

Wants to do with my life!

```

42290

```

Some are afraid

Of telling the truth. ```

42291

```

Some are not afraid

Even of becoming

The Truth.

```

42292

```

God will not allow

Anybody’s questions

To remain unanswered.

```

42293

```

Everything that the aspiration-heart

Has and is

Comes directly from God’s divine Will.

```

42294

```

The mind loves

Experiment-power. ```

42295

```

The heart likes

Experience-shower. ```

42296

```

If we are not enamoured

Of God’s Love and Beauty,

Then who else will be?

```

42297

```

God invites everybody

And everything,

Including my doubting mind,

When He gives His blessingful Speech. ```

42298

```

My aspiration-dedication-boat

Has been sailing

Through the centuries.

```

42299

```

At every moment

We must cling to God’s Feet,

As the morning dew to a flower.

```

42300

```

God is easy to love,

But not His Judgement. ```

42301

```

My Lord loves me —

This is the only

And most important thing

To remember. ```

42302

```

A faithless mind

Is

Stupidity incarnate.

```

42303

```

God’s Forgiveness-Nectar

Is beyond compare. ```

42304

```

Fortunate are those

Who have the capacity

To spread the word —

About how kind, compassionate,

Self-giving and forgiving

Our Lord is. ```

42305

```

Disobedience tries to ruin

God’s days,

But it sadly fails.

```

42306

```

Disobedience tries to ruin

Our God-hunger,

But it sadly fails.

```

42307

```

Disobedience tries to teach us

How to stand against God,

But it sadly fails.

```

42308

```

Disobedience

And the faithless mind

Love to live together.

```

42309

```

My Lord, my Lord,

At this very moment,

Do put an end

To my vagabond thoughts. ```

42310

```

My heart’s soulful smile,

More than anything else,

Gives my Lord joy.

```

42311

```

God’s Forgiveness

Does not believe in vacation —

Even so, God’s Justice.

```

42312

```

When we say

It is our last hope,

We pain God’s Heart.

```

42313

```

Be soulful, be cheerful!

God will answer

All the prayers

Of your heart. ```

42314

```

When God

Is all we need,

He immediately comes.

```

42315

```

Many say they need only God,

But in reality,

They need and they want

Only themselves. ```

42316

```

At long last,

My desire-days

And my desire-nights

Have left me! ```

42317

```

We do not have to know

Where our beginning was,

But we must know

Where we are going to end. ```

42318

```

We do not have to explain anything

To God.

We must only fly

On the fastest heart-plane

To God.

```

42319

```

Humility

Is still beyond the capacity

Of many human beings.

```

42320

```

Alas, the poor mind!

It wants to be satisfied

Even with a little pride.

```

42321

```

My Lord tells me again and again:

“My child, go back to your heart-home,

Go back to your heart-home!

You and I both need your heart-home.” ```

42322

```

The Supreme

In my inner life

Guides me.

```

42323

```

The Supreme

In my outer life

Leads me.

```

42324

```

Whenever I have

A good meditation,

I thrill my Lord Supreme.

```

42325

```

My aspiration-heart

And God’s Satisfaction-Eye

Are always found together.

```

42326

```

Nobody can remain

Ungrateful to God

Forever.

```

42327

```

God-Gratitude-Bliss

At every moment descends

On earth.

```

42328

```

When we love God unconditionally,

God immediately starts pouring

His Compassion-Rain.

```

42329

```

We are supposed to return Home,

But have we fulfilled our duties

Here on earth?

No! ```

42330

```

My inner prayer

Brightens both my inner life

And my outer life.

```

42331

```

The Goal itself comes

To the ego-less soul. ```

42332

```

Every day

We must remain at the peak

Of our God-manifestation-promise.

```

42333

```

There shall come a time

When the unreal

Will not be wanted anywhere.

```

42334

```

My outer life enjoys

My strength. ```

42335

```

My inner life enjoys

Only God’s Length

In me.

```

42336

```

The Beauty of the One

And the duty of the many —

It is all the same.

```

42337

```

God always tells us

That our search for Truth

Will not end in vain.

```

42338

```

God tells us

To look at His Creation

With the eyes of beauty.

```

42339

```

A mystic silence

Guides my outer life. ```

42340

```

Love and Reality

Are synonymous. ```

42341

```

I enjoy being lost

In my sweetness-dreams. ```

42342

```

Quite often

Tears give us

Good news.

```

42343

```

Be alert! Be awake!

God is fast approaching you. ```

42344

```

My mind-thoughts

Strangle me. ```

42345

```

My heart-feelings

Carry me directly

To God’s Heaven.

```

42346

```

God is always happy.

Why?

Because He claims everybody

As His own, very own. ```

42347

```

What God has to say

We must listen to

With rapt attention.

```

42348

```

Do not judge anybody.

Behold, your Lord

Rides right behind you

To judge you. ```

42349

```

I shall not be fully satisfied

Unless I can permanently live

Inside my Lord’s Heart-Home.

```

42350

```

When you suffer for any reason,

Just take a few very, very deep breaths.

It can be of some help to you.

```

42351

```

I go from blunder to blunder,

Yet my Lord Supreme tells me:

“Do not look back. Go forward!

Go forward, My child!” ```

42352

```

God-lovers become God-winners,

And then God-winners become

Far better God-lovers.

```

42353

```

My Lord, do help me see

Your supreme Reality

In Your Compassion-Eye.

```

42354

```

To our great joy,

Spirituality has become quite natural

In the world.

```

42355

```

My heart was born

To cry sleeplessly

For God’s Compassion

And Love. ```

42356

```

There is no final stage

Of my God-preparation. ```

42357

```

The outer eyes

May not be able to see God,

But the inner faith

Can easily do so. ```

42358

```

Forgiveness is not enough —

If you do not forget the whole matter,

Then your forgiveness is not complete.

```

42359

```

When we pray to God,

Loneliness disappears. ```

42360

```

When we meditate on God,

Oneness-joy blossoms. ```

42361

```

The student asks the spiritual Master:

“Please tell me,

Do you see God everywhere?”

The Master says:

“I do see God everywhere,

Plus I see something more —

I see you as another God!”

```

42362

```

Do not struggle to establish purity

In your life.

Just throw yourself completely

Into the Ocean-Heart

Of your Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

42363

```

When I open my eyes,

May each moment

Become a prayer.

```

42364

```

When I close my eyes,

May each moment

Become a meditation.

```

42365

```

I came alone to Mother Earth,

But when I go back, I shall carry with me

The infinite affection and love

Of Mother Earth. ```

42366

```

When you feel that you are

Farther than the farthest

From your Lord Beloved Supreme,

Who knows?

Perhaps that is the time

When He is nearer than the nearest! ```

42367

```

Cry!

Cry helplessly and sleeplessly!

God will give you

Two angel-wings to fly. ```

42368

```

The path of unconditional surrender

Is not meant for

Each and every human being.

```

42369

```

Curiosity

Unconsciously awakens

The searching mind.

```

42370

```

The pure heart

Of a sincere man

Is always at ease.

```

42371

```

Life is nothing

But uncertainty. ```

42372

```

Nothing else can satisfy

The Real in us

Save and except peace.

```

42373

```

I said to God:

“My Lord, Your Feet

Are so beautiful.”

God said to me:

“My child, your heart

Is so beautiful.” ```

42374

```

There cannot be two ways.

If you really accept the spiritual life,

There is only one way

And that is God’s Way. ```

42375

```

It is sheer foolishness

To be afraid of the Unknown,

For the Unknown is secretly guiding

Our destiny. ```

42376

```

I do not know where I am going,

And I do not want to know

Where I am going,

As long as I feel in my heart

My Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

42377

```

I cause such suffering

In the Heart of my Lord Supreme

When I tell the world

That He does not care for me. ```

42378

```

The way the mind sees the Truth

Is, indeed,

A distortion of the Truth.

```

42379

```

Facts belong to

The physical, vital

And mental worlds.

```

42380

```

Truth belongs to

The inner world —

Specially to God’s World.

```

42381

```

Every day I can be

A better seeker,

A better God-lover,

A better self-giver —

If so is the Will of God.

```

42382

```

We now think of God, pray to God,

Meditate on God and contemplate on God.

But the day shall come

When we shall feel and realise

That it is God Himself

Who is doing everything

In and through us.

```

42383

```

Lord, when I think of

Your transcendental Greatness,

I get terribly frightened.

```

42384

```

Lord, when I think of

Your universal Goodness,

I strongly feel that

I am part of Your Goodness. ```

42385

```

God tells me

That I do not have to go to Him —

He is already there, inside my heart.

But I am not doing what I am supposed to do:

I am not feeding Him properly.

```

42386

```

Yesterday’s God

Was powerful. ```

42387

```

Today’s God

Is merciful. ```

42388

```

Tomorrow’s God —

God does not want me to know

What aspect of His

He will show me tomorrow! ```

42389

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity

Are not enough.

At every step, intensity is needed

To make rapid progress

In the spiritual life.

```

42390

```

The difference between the spiritual life

And the unspiritual life is this:

The spiritual life always carries hope

Inside its heart;

The unspiritual life knows and feels

That it is always hopeless, helpless

And useless.

```

42391

```

I went to God to see God’s Face.

God said to me:

“You fool!

You have come to see My Face?

Whenever you come to Me,

Come only to feel My Heart —

How much I love you

And how much I need you.” ```

42392

```

With a good thought

I fly towards my Goal. ```

42393

```

With a bad thought

I sink into the abyss

Of the darkest night.

```

42394

```

The earthly light

Is extremely limited,

Extremely weak.

```

42395

```

The Heavenly Light

Always goes beyond

The horizon.

```

42396

```

I ask God:

“Please tell me, how far do I have to go?”

God says to me:

“My child, this is the wrong question!

Instead you should ask Me,

‘Do give me the capacity,

My Lord, to be with You always,

Wherever You go.’” ```

42397

```

Perfection

Is a subject

The mind does not care

To study. ```

42398

```

God’s Feet do not judge;

God’s Heart does not judge;

God’s Eye does not judge;

But God Himself, all the time,

Loves and judges, judges and loves us.

```

42399

```

God feels sad when we want to have

His Assurance of our God-realisation.

He feels His Concern for our realisation

Far surpasses ours. ```

42400

```

God wants each human being

To be a special pride

Of the earth planet.

```

42401

```

I must bring

My restless mind

Completely under my control.

```

42402

```

If you are already soulful,

Then be more soulful

In your spiritual life.

```

42403

```

Every evening

God sends a progress report

To each seeker’s soul.

```

42404

```

Desire must die

Immediately,

And not just ultimately.

```

42405

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That no matter how bad I am,

He is not going to give up on me!

```

42406

```

Whatever I possess,

As a matter of fact,

Has possessed me ruthlessly.

```

42407

```

If you do everything

Always in your own way,

How do you expect God to be

Of any help to you? ```

42408

```

Who is really normal?

He who consciously,

Or even unconsciously,

Fulfils God’s Will

All the time.

```

42409

```

I want to be

God’s chosen slave

To make myself absolutely happy.

```

42410

```

I must have constant readiness,

Willingness and selflessness

To be extremely close

To my Lord Supreme. ```

42411

```

If I am a very soulful seeker,

Then my Lord has made me so. ```

42412

```

God forgives all our weaknesses.

We must also do the same,

To make the fastest progress.

```

42413

```

God teaches

His most favourite students

Love, devotion and surrender.

```

42414

```

Who needs bliss from Heaven?

Am I so blind that I fail to see

That my Master is all bliss?

```

42415

```

Meditation carries

The secret of God-oneness

Wherever it goes.

```

42416

```

We look for someone

To admire us. ```

42417

```

God looks for someone

To understand Him. ```

42418

```

Each world-teacher

Comes

Ahead of his time.

```

42419

```

Except death,

There is nothing certain

Here on earth.

```

42420

```

The heart needs

No recommendation

To apply for a job

In God’s Heart-Office. ```

42421

```

The difference

Between God and me

Is this:

I discovered God;

God invented me.

```

42422

```

With a single look,

My Master has received

All my God-fulfilling hopes

And God-manifesting promises. ```

42423

```

My heart is always

On good terms

With my soul.

```

42424

```

My aspiration-heart

Has the strength to overcome

All the obstacles on the way.

```

42425

```

Today’s human imperfections

Will not and cannot

Last forever.

```

42426

```

Each life-course

Is self-created. ```

42427

```

Our adamantine determination

Will never surrender

To anything undivine.

```

42428

```

Alas, ignorance

Is the pride

Of our earthly existence.

```

42429

```

Our God-obedience

Is our greatest advantage

In the spiritual life.

```

42430

```

Anger is a very heavy burden

On the shoulders

Of a genuine seeker.

```

42431

```

My God-appointments

Are all predestined. ```

42432

```

I must reject

My negativity-mind

For good.

```

42433

```

My hopeful heart

Never surrenders

To my doubtful mind.

```

42434

```

A God-surrender-life

Can take a giant step

Towards self-perfection.

```

42435

```

Our humility

Is a direct

God-given Gift.

```

42436

```

Perfect perfection

Has not yet taken birth. ```

42437

```

Gratitude

Is a heart-flame

Climbing very fast

Towards Heaven. ```

42438

```

My long-lost aspiration,

When will you return?

When?

```

42439

```

God struggles

Inside

Human love.

```

42440

```

God dances

His Self-amorous Dance

With the Love divine.

```

42441

```

Day in, day out,

To keep faith alive

Is a very difficult task.

```

42442

```

Look at your own faults

With sincerity. ```

42443

```

Try to overlook

Others’ faults

As often as possible.

```

42444

```

Aspiration

Is

A Heaven-climbing game.

```

42445

```

Dedication

Is

An earth-rotating game.

```

42446

```

My heart-bell is ringing —

That means

My Lord is arriving.

```

42447

```

Each simple word

From my Master

Embodies a whole universe

Of light. ```

42448

```

Purity’s strength

Is unimaginable. ```

42449

```

When I dive deep within,

I see everything divine

Is unfathomable.

```

42450

```

My life shall be all peace

When my surrender

Is complete.

```

42451

```

I want only my Lord

To occupy

Each and every thought of mine.

```

42452

```

I do hope that the day will dawn

When my life will be only

For my Master’s fulfilment.

```

42453

```

The necessity of

My gratitude-heart

Has to be intense.

```

42454

```

Never look back

At your failure-life. ```

42455

```

We must destroy

The strong connection

Between the mind and the vital.

```

42456

```

God’s Call

Is the greatest thrill

In my life.

```

42457

```

My heart speedily runs closer

When it hears the Footsteps

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

42458

```

Criticism

Is

A dangerous poison.

```

42459

```

I see a rainbow dancing

Between my heart’s hope

And my soul’s promise.

```

42460

```

Anything good

That the mind does

Surprises our Lord.

```

42461

```

God always

Makes fun of

My stupid mind.

```

42462

```

God’s way of life

Has to be cultivated

By each sincere seeker.

```

42463

```

We shall never allow

The victory

Of ignorance-night.

```

42464

```

Television has caused

Infinitely more harm

Than help.

```

42465

```

God wants us to be

The lovers of Light

And not its slaves.

```

42466

```

Alas, I have knocked and knocked

On all the doors of the world,

Save and except my Lord’s.

```

42467

```

Hope can easily climb up

The loftiest tower. ```

42468

```

Worrying

Is worse than useless. ```

42469

```

Alas, we need patience

To wait and see

What God is going to give us

At His choice Hour. ```

42470

```

Our God-obedience

Intensifies

Our God-aspiration-cries.

```

42471

```

My Lord does nothing

Without a specific purpose. ```

42472

```

Desire-night

Is longer than the longest. ```

42473

```

Life is a journey —

So is death. ```

42474

```

O seeker,

You can aspire

Not only for yourself,

But for the rest of the world. ```

42475

```

God’s Way

Is the only way that counts

In a seeker’s life.

```

42476

```

Experiment

Teaches us. ```

42477

```

Experience

Illumines us. ```

42478

```

God wants my hope-bird

And my promise-bird

To fly together

In His Infinity’s Sky. ```

42479

```

Every day

I try to develop

An insatiable God-hunger.

```

42480

```

God suffers tremendously

When a seeker’s aspiration

And obedience

Descend. ```

42481

```

God knows

All our problems,

And He is ready to solve

All our problems,

But we do not

Give Him the chance. ```

42482

```

Anything that is man’s

Is earth-bound. ```

42483

```

Anything that is God’s

Is Heaven-free. ```

42484

```

God is far beyond

Both truth and falsehood —

He is always transcending Himself.

```

42485

```

God and God’s Vision

Were born

At the same time.

```

42486

```

The mind has taken on

An impossible task:

To hide from God.

```

42487

```

God lives in between

His Tolerance

And His Forgiveness.

```

42488

```

Light and darkness

Face each other

Across our life-sky.

```

42489

```

A gratitude-heart

Is very hard

To find.

```

42490

```

Alas, we never allow God

To have a little time

For Himself!

```

42491

```

May our aspiration fly

Far, far beyond

The final Destination.

```

42492

```

When we are joyful and soulful,

God feels that He has received

Everything from us.

```

42493

```

I am trying

To drown my ego

And crown my heart.

```

42494

```

Each thought

Can be transformed

Into a new hope-plant

And a new promise-tree. ```

42495

```

A gratitude-heart

At every moment

Reveals God’s Heart-Beauty

And Life-Duty. ```

42496

```

With eagerness and intensity

Everything

Can be achieved.

```

42497

```

My Lord,

One thing I am telling You

Most sincerely:

I am at Your express Command. ```

42498

```

I must go far, far beyond

The horizons

Of my earthly desire-life.

```

42499

```

Even though my role is very small

In God’s Cosmic Play,

My Lord pays ample attention to me.

```

42500

```

We must take a brave step —

Our feeble steps will lead us

Nowhere.

```

42501

```

My Lord tells me all the time:

“Do something good for others.

This is the only way

You can make the fastest progress.” ```

42502

```

Once we sincerely enter

The spiritual life,

There can be no turning back.

```

42503

```

When I see my Master’s face

In the depths of my heart,

I see inside his face

Not only Heaven,

But all the gods and goddesses.

```

42504

```

May my aspiration fly

To the highest Heights. ```

42505

```

My life must go through

The eye

Of ruthless mind-storms

To arrive at the Goal. ```

42506

```

My Lord, delay not!

Step into my eagerness-heart

Right away.

```

42507

```

Yesterday’s perfection-light

Today has become

Imperfection-night.

```

42508

```

God-dependence

Is the sign of

True wisdom.

```

42509

```

God loves me more and more

Precisely because

I open my heart’s door

A little more every day. ```

42510

```

Not by accusing the world

But by excusing the world

Can we have true happiness.

```

42511

```

The best I can do

Under the circumstances

Is to leave the world at God’s Feet

For Him to change its nature. ```

42512

```

God-seekers

Eventually become

Freedom-finders.

```

42513

```

Just to make me happy,

My Lord tells me

That He badly needs a partner.

```

42514

```

My heart has

Streaming tears

For the losers.

```

42515

```

My heart has

Beaming smiles

For the winners.

```

42516

```

What the outer world

Is supposed to be:

An equal of the inner world.

```

42517

```

My task

For yesterday

Was God-search.

```

42518

```

My task

For today

Is God-discovery.

```

42519

```

My task

For tomorrow

Will be God-revelation.

```

42520

```

My task

For the day after tomorrow

Will be God-manifestation.

```

42521

```

My task

For the following day

Will be to smile and dance

With God. ```

42522

```

When God comes down

And garlands a sincere seeker,

It is, indeed, a festive occasion

For every heart. ```

42523

```

My Lord, I am telling You

For the last time

That I shall never, never

Make You unhappy. ```

42524

```

We know that nobody

Is perfectly happy now,

But we feel that everybody

Can sooner or later

Be divinely and supremely happy.

```

42525

```

To become God’s favourite,

I gave up practically nothing —

I only claimed my Lord

As my own, very own. ```

42526

```

The smiles

That we give to the world

From our inner suffering

Are most exquisite. ```

42527

```

Only a fool

Has the time to think of

The next life.

```

42528

```

In the beginning

God whispers,

But if we do not pay any heed

To God’s Whispers,

God thunders.

```

42529

```

God will tell you secretly

When you will be able

To realise Him.

```

42530

```

God will tell you openly

How you can

Realise Him.

```

42531

```

God will tell the world proudly

When you become

Another God.

```

42532

```

When God starts scolding me,

I immediately know

That He has started moulding me.

```

42533

```

When I walk behind God

Soulfully and devotedly,

God turns around and gives me

The Beauty of His Smile. ```

42534

```

Prosperity,

When not properly regulated,

Meets with teeming disadvantages.

```

42535

```

My old self will vanish

Only when my present self

Breathlessly needs God.

```

42536

```

Today my heart and I

Must fulfil

Our Lord’s Sunburst-Vision.

```

42537

```

My heart and I

Like to be the children

Of the all-dreaming

And all-fulfilling present moment. ```

42538

```

Meditation

Is God’s Presence-invoker

And God’s Presence-adorer.

```

42539

```

To search for God

Is good. ```

42540

```

To thirst for God

Is better. ```

42541

```

To hunger for God

Is by far the best. ```

42542

```

God uses

Not His powerful Eyes

But His compassionate Arms

To change my life. ```

42543

```

When I stand in front of

My Lord Supreme,

I am frightened.

```

42544

```

When I feel my Lord’s Presence

Inside my heart,

I am thrilled beyond measure.

```

42545

```

Our love of God

Immediately increases

When our desire-life ceases

Forever. ```

42546

```

Austerities

Are not essential

For God-realisation.

```

42547

```

The Supreme dearly loves

The humility-flooded seekers. ```

42548

```

The human in me is no more.

It has been replaced

By the Divine from Above.

```

42549

```

I definitely and unreservedly believe

In the very best

Of every human being.

```

42550

```

If we cannot have faith

In God’s Love,

Then we are offering God

A most deplorable experience. ```

42551

```

Every morning

God examines our consciousness

With tremendous Compassion

And Concern. ```

42552

```

We have no idea

How powerful

Divine Love is.

```

42553

```

Dive deep within

To help your heart

In every possible way.

```

42554

```

Do not give up

On those who are still

Unwilling.

```

42555

```

My life is

God’s Compassion-Eye-beggar. ```

42556

```

Pay heed constantly

To your soul’s needs. ```

42557

```

My heart’s

God-gratitude-wings

Fly in Infinity’s Sky.

```

42558

```

My Lord every day

Empties me

Of my desire-forest-life.

```

42559

```

Our inner beauty

Far surpasses

The beauty of the morning sun.

```

42560

```

We must value

The love and concern

That every minute

Has for us. ```

42561

```

God wants us to treasure

All our soul’s

God-Rainbow-dreams.

```

42562

```

I shall always try

To perfect

My self-improvement-task.

```

42563

```

May my heart never be empty

Of aspiration, love, devotion

And surrender.

```

42564

```

The capacity of the mind

To aspire

Is very limited.

```

42565

```

May my aspiration

Be always unerring

And ignorance-night-defying.

```

42566

```

Alas, the present-day world

Is nothing short of

A destruction-cyclone.

```

42567

```

The promise of ignorance-night

Is nothing but temptation

In disguise.

```

42568

```

Every day

God blesses us

With new dreams

And new hopes. ```

42569

```

When we stand on the stage

Of our lives,

Either we bitterly cry

Or we brightly smile. ```

42570

```

Everything

Divine and undivine

Is swirling around my Lord’s Feet.

```

42571

```

The soul is

The most eloquent student

In God’s Heart-School.

```

42572

```

O my heart-bird,

Always remain awake!

Never close your beauty’s eyes.

```

42573

```

In disguise,

God performs His Manifestation-Task

Inside all human beings.

```

42574

```

Meditation means

God-Presence-invocation. ```

42575

```

God-dreams are only for those

Who cannot remain without God

Even for a fleeting moment.

```

42576

```

Each inner experience

Leads me to my real life:

God-service.

```

42577

```

My mind is full of

Frustration-stories. ```

42578

```

My heart is full of

God-songs. ```

42579

```

God showers us

With His Blessing-Gifts

Every morning and evening.

```

42580

```

God tells me not to throw away

My despair-heart

But to place it at His Feet.

```

42581

```

God does not want to hear

My life-stories. ```

42582

```

God wants to hear from me

Only my heart-songs. ```

42583

```

Where is God-Justice?

Ask your heart and not your mind.

You will be able to know, without fail.

```

42584

```

My heart knows

How to insist

All the time.

```

42585

```

My mind knows

How to resist

All the time.

```

42586

```

The spiritual life means

A life of flexibility. ```

42587

```

The spiritual life means

A life of self-offering. ```

42588

```

The spiritual life means

The Beauty of God’s Compassion

And the Fragrance of His Love.

```

42589

```

He who does not avail himself

Of God-opportunities

Immediately is bound to fail.

```

42590

```

My heart is telling me

To dive inward

To see God’s Compassion-Feet.

```

42591

```

No sacrifice —

Just love is needed

To realise God.

```

42592

```

My Lord,

Do give me another chance

To expand my heart

To encompass

All of humanity.

```

42593

```

May my mind

Grow into a vastness

Far beyond my imagination.

```

42594

```

God does not need

Your mind-explanation. ```

42595

```

God needs only

Your heart-satisfaction. ```

42596

```

The difference between my love

And God’s Love is this:

My love is all taking;

God’s Love is all giving. ```

42597

```

Patience is absolutely necessary

In the spiritual life

To realise God in His own Way.

```

42598

```

God treasures

The smiles of our soul. ```

42599

```

Who else

If not You, my Lord,

Can console my bleeding heart?

```

42600

```

My heart is now

A God-worshipper,

But my Lord wants

My heart to become

A God-lover.

```

42601

```

If you want to doubt,

Doubt everything,

But not your heart’s love for God.

```

42602

```

My Lord, I want to live

Between my outer simplicity

And my inner tranquillity.

```

42603

```

Gratitude grows

From deep within. ```

42604

```

I shall not allow

My yesterday’s mind

To enter into

My today’s heart. ```

42605

```

My Lord tells me

That I live far below

My capacities.

```

42606

```

I must discard my desire-life

By all means —

The sooner the better.

```

42607

```

We must always remain

Wide awake

To the needs of the inner life.

```

42608

```

God is always eager

To fulfil the hopes

Of my aspiring heart.

```

42609

```

Truth cannot

Be demonstrated.

It can only be felt.

```

42610

```

God wants me

To lighten the sufferings

Of others.

```

42611

```

I must have implicit confidence

In the Whispers

Of my Inner Pilot.

```

42612

```

Self-giving

Is the direct route

To our God-Destination.

```

42613

```

Visions come

From aspiration. ```

42614

```

Aspiration comes

From inspiration. ```

42615

```

Inspiration comes

From love of God. ```

42616

```

O my mind,

Transcend the boundaries

Of fear and doubt.

```

42617

```

The inner home

Is only

For the brave.

```

42618

```

My Lord has

A very special Request:

He wants me to forget my past

Altogether. ```

42619

```

What I need

Is an invincible faith

In my Lord Supreme.

```

42620

```

My Lord accepts me fully

Only when I throw myself

At His Feet

Self-givingly. ```

42621

```

To serve

Is to change the face

Of humanity.

```

42622

```

Steadily and unerringly

We all must run onward

To our golden Destination.

```

42623

```

Each positive thought

Can reveal

A higher mystery.

```

42624

```

Self-offering

Is the road

To the real education.

```

42625

```

Every day, every hour,

Every minute,

I am desperately trying

To love and serve God

In accordance with His Will.

```

42626

```

My prayer-life

Needs intensity. ```

42627

```

My meditation-heart

Needs immensity. ```

42628

```

A God-surrender-heart

Is

An inevitable winner.

```

42629

```

My Lord, do not allow my heart

To be empty of

Tenderness and sweetness.

```

42630

```

God is eager to increase

My inner wealth

Provided I can offer Him

My heart-cries and heart-tears. ```

42631

```

A heart of surrender

Knows no equal

In the spiritual life.

```

42632

```

The material life

Has a beginning

And an end.

```

42633

```

The spiritual life

Is a perpetual beginning

Towards the Transcendental Goal.

```

42634

```

We want life-enlargement,

But God wants for us

Self-effacement.

```

42635

```

Never leave home

Without praying to God

For His inner and outer Guidance.

```

42636

```

If we do not destroy

Our sad experiences of the past,

How can we ever successfully invoke

The good experiences

That are eager to approach us?

```

42637

```

Do not think of finishing

Your earth-journey.

Wait for God’s special Hour.

Until then, love God, serve God

Here, in the heart of humankind.

```

42638

```

My Lord tells me

That the depth of my heart

Is of tremendous service to Him.

```

42639

```

If we believe in inner guidance,

Then automatically, our outer confidence

Will increase.

```

42640

```

Whatever God does

With my life,

I am left utterly speechless.

```

42641

```

One becomes rich,

Very rich,

In the inner world

By spending oneself. ```

42642

```

Just a glimpse of God’s Feet

I need

To feed my God-hunger.

```

42643

```

The trouble with all human beings

Is this:

They want to understand God,

Which is nothing short of impossibility. ```

42644

```

I see my Inner Pilot

Watching and enjoying

My twinkling heart-stars.

```

42645

```

Self-discipline

Is the builder of

Our life’s tower.

```

42646

```

If nervousness tortures you

When you are in front of your Master,

How can you establish

Oneness with his will? ```

42647

```

If you do not have admiration

For your own soul,

You will not be able to go far.

```

42648

```

Each human being suffers

From conflicting thoughts

And emotions.

```

42649

```

God is never in favour

Of saying ‘Not now’. ```

42650

```

Surrender is

The most effective way

To God’s Nectar-Heart.

```

42651

```

Forgiveness is available,

But it is quite often

Unnoticed.

```

42652

```

God and I have decided

That from now on,

When we talk,

We shall prolong our conversation. ```

42653

```

How happy I shall be

If ever my Lord Supreme

Monopolises my entire life!

```

42654

```

Do not indulge

Your expectations —

You will suffer more,

Infinitely more. ```

42655

```

Undivided

God-oneness

Each seeker needs.

```

42656

```

If you do not have aspiration-flames

Inside your heart,

God will not appear before you.

```

42657

```

God has commanded me

To revolutionise my inner life

And my outer life.

```

42658

```

As the soul and the heart

Are very old friends,

Even so, the mind and the vital.

```

42659

```

Concern is God’s

Constant companion. ```

42660

```

God does not want anybody

To be a mere onlooker. ```

42661

```

God wants everybody

To participate

In His Cosmic Game.

```

42662

```

Failure and despair

Will grip your mind

If you do not surrender your life

To God’s Will. ```

42663

```

My heart and I

Always walk along

The peace-path.

```

42664

```

Each good thought

Is a blessingful message

From Above.

```

42665

```

To my great sorrow,

Alas, for a long time

My heart and God’s Eye

Were not on speaking terms. ```

42666

```

Peace means a journey

From one higher world

To another higher world.

```

42667

```

Devotion

Always gets a chance

To be near

The Heart of the Supreme. ```

42668

```

God always allows us

To swim

In His Forgiveness-River.

```

42669

```

Cheerfulness means

A new discovery

To please God

In His own Way. ```

42670

```

Determination

Has to be indomitable

If you want to succeed

In any walk of life. ```

42671

```

When I play

My self-competition-game,

My Lord watches me

With tremendous Joy and Pride. ```

42672

```

My heartbeat

And God’s Heartbeat

Love to speak in whispers.

```

42673

```

There is no problem

That our aspiring heart

Cannot solve.

```

42674

```

I love to live in between

My searching mind

And my aspiring heart.

```

42675

```

This moment, I must do.

The next moment, I must become.

Indeed, this is absolutely the right approach

To God. ```

42676

```

Each morning

Is the beauty

Of a new hope.

```

42677

```

Each duty

Gives us a new capacity

To arrive at God’s Heart-Door.

```

42678

```

God-reliance and disaster

Are perfect strangers. ```

42679

```

In and through

Our meditation-heart,

God smiles and smiles.

```

42680

```

If we can dive deep within,

Then our Lord is bound to give us

Very special Directions.

```

42681

```

The seeker in me knows

That the heart is, indeed,

A peace-home.

```

42682

```

When God Himself

Pilots the boat,

There can be no collision.

```

42683

```

My heart says to me:

“Just wait and see!

Our Lord has a very special Plan

For you.” ```

42684

```

My mind

Is terribly afraid of

Visiting Heaven.

```

42685

```

My heart

Is dying to visit

Heaven.

```

42686

```

I want to serve God wholeheartedly,

But God says to me:

“My child, first love Me,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly.

Do the first thing first!”

```

42687

```

A life empty of God-dreams

Is

A meaningless and useless life.

```

42688

```

God loves my simplest prayer:

“My Lord, do give me the capacity,

Every day,

To love You more and more!” ```

42689

```

God tells me

That the most beautiful flower

Is my God-affection-heart.

```

42690

```

The true love of God

Comes to us

From the Unknowable.

```

42691

```

When God walks the earth,

We do not recognise Him.

Alas, even if we recognise Him,

We do not value Him. ```

42692

```

God wants us to catch Him

Like a player catches a ball,

And not be satisfied

By just thinking of Him. ```

42693

```

My mind loves

Doubt-association. ```

42694

```

My heart loves

My faith-union with God. ```

42695

```

My desire-dreams

Disappear. ```

42696

```

My aspiration-dream

Appears before me

With very special Blessings

From God. ```

42697

```

My higher life

Is created

By my Inner Pilot.

```

42698

```

My lower life

Is created

By my doubting

And challenging mind. ```

42699

```

If you can avoid

The temptation-world,

Then you have definitely conquered

God’s Heart. ```

42700

```

When our faith ascends

Speedily,

God and God’s Pride descend

Immediately. ```

42701

```

God does expect

From each and everyone

A twenty-four-hour selfless service.

```

42702

```

The mind and the vital

Are not real friends.

Inwardly, they are all the time

At war with each other. ```

42703

```

God’s Grace

Descends upon us,

Quite often unexpectedly.

```

42704

```

God wants us

To be independent

Of the world’s opinion.

```

42705

```

God wants us

To be dependent

Entirely on His inner Dictates.

```

42706

```

The painful world

Every day we see

Around us.

```

42707

```

The blissful world

Every day is beckoning us,

But we think and feel

That we are not ready. ```

42708

```

God-lovers

Will never be short of

God’s sincere Appreciation.

```

42709

```

God-servers

Will never be short of

God-tasks.

```

42710

```

Living in the Heart of God

Is the only satisfaction

That can please the seeker.

```

42711

```

The mind

Continuously steals

Our heart’s joy.

```

42712

```

When I open myself completely

To God’s Concern,

I feel I do not have to do

Anything else. ```

42713

```

The mind

Foolishly rejects

God’s Love.

```

42714

```

Each joy-step carries us

Into a very beautiful

And powerful future.

```

42715

```

Alas, God’s outer Call

I do not understand. ```

42716

```

Alas, God’s inner Call

I also do not understand. ```

42717

```

A God-oneness-heart

Has neither a beginning

Nor an end.

```

42718

```

Because of our heart-tutor,

We always succeed

In our inner examinations.

```

42719

```

Each intense prayer

Takes us one step closer

To God.

```

42720

```

The mind

Never keeps its promises,

Yet it is full of pride.

```

42721

```

God tells us that

Everything has a fixed hour.

We must not relax more than needed.

```

42722

```

Our hesitation-days and nights

Are destroying

Our inner capacities.

```

42723

```

We know countless stories

About God’s Compassion

And God’s Forgiveness,

But we have never heard

Even a single story

About God’s carelessness

Or God’s negligence.

```

42724

```

My heart-tears

And my soul-smiles

Are equally indomitable.

```

42725

```

My life has to be

As bright and illumining

As a star

In the midnight sky. ```

42726

```

God helps us

In so many ways

That we are totally ignorant of.

```

42727

```

My heart believes,

Right from the beginning to the end,

When my soul speaks.

```

42728

```

My hopes and my dreams

Always invite my heart

To fly

In Infinity’s Sky. ```

42729

```

Nobody

Can dare to imprison

My God-obedience-heart.

```

42730

```

The eyes of the heart

Turn always

Towards God.

```

42731

```

Everybody knows

The untold problems of life,

But very few turn

Towards the Light. ```

42732

```

God and God’s Patience

Come into our hearts

Only to stay forever.

```

42733

```

Patience and the mind

Never room together. ```

42734

```

The mind

Does not believe in

God-fulfilment-experiences.

```

42735

```

When the wild criticism of the world

Unnerves us,

God’s Heart comes

To our immediate rescue. ```

42736

```

My God-gratitude-heart

Sleeplessly enjoys

God’s Nectar-Delight.

```

42737

```

I have only one thing to long for:

My God-obedience,

My God-obedience,

My God-obedience! ```

42738

```

I must sing with my heart

Every morning

One forgiveness-song.

```

42739

```

A God-unwillingness-mind

Can be

Extremely destructive.

```

42740

```

Try always

To avoid walking along

The temptation-road.

```

42741

```

Always be eager

To walk along

The aspiration-road.

```

42742

```

Have more faith

Every day of your life

In God’s ceaseless Compassion.

```

42743

```

Nothing saddens our Lord

As much as

Our self-abnegation.

```

42744

```

We must learn

How to love God,

Even if we do not,

Or cannot, understand

What God’s Will is.

```

42745

```

God does not often come to us

As a beautiful thought. ```

42746

```

God comes to us

As an adamantine Will. ```

42747

```

Every day

God and I think of

Only one thing:

My nature’s perfection. ```

42748

```

My Lord,

I am not proud of myself

When You love me.

```

42749

```

My Lord,

I am proud of myself

Only when

I entirely depend upon You. ```

42750

```

Each successful meditation

Is a powerful

Godward journey.

```

42751

```

What is happening every day

Before our very eyes?

Injustice is reigning supreme.

```

42752

```

What is happening every day

Before our very eyes?

The good are silent;

The bad are belligerent. ```

42753

```

What is happening every day

Before our very eyes?

Concern for the improvement

Of humanity

Is inside our mouths

And not inside our hearts. ```

42754

```

As our eagerness

To please God increases,

Even so, God’s Eagerness

To please us increases

More and more.

```

42755

```

The mind’s philosophy

We must never accept,

For it is very precarious —

Even the mind does not know

What its philosophy is!

```

42756

```

A God-unwillingness-mind

Most astonishingly delays

Our forward journey.

```

42757

```

In the morning and in the evening

My heart sings

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Song,

And I see my Lord’s Eyes

Flooded with Compassion-Joy-Pride.

```

42758

```

I love

God’s cute Smiles

More than I love

God’s powerful Smiles. ```

42759

```

To achieve perfection,

The first requisite

Is self-giving.

```

42760

```

Life is either

Conscious sacrifice

Or unconscious sacrifice.

```

42761

```

The mysteries

Of Mother Nature

None can explain.

```

42762

```

This world

Is more charming

Than we can ever imagine.

```

42763

```

The aspiring man

Is truly the centre

Of God’s inner World.

```

42764

```

If you do not come to God’s Palace

On a regular basis,

Your absence will soon be evident.

```

42765

```

To search for and discover

The soul

Is a matter of centuries.

```

42766

```

Even long before

God arrives,

The heart starts

Jumping with joy. ```

42767

```

If we please God

In God’s own Way,

Then He will bless us

With a most remarkable aura. ```

42768

```

We cannot explain

The horizon,

But we can transcend

The horizon. ```

42769

```

Each human life is not only

A God-manifestation-possibility,

But a God-manifestation-inevitability.

```

42770

```

My heart prays to God

When there is no whisper

Of disturbance.

```

42771

```

We must be

The signal discoverers

Of man’s divine qualities,

One after another. ```

42772

```

The nature of diplomacy:

Outwardly

I say I appreciate you;

Inwardly

I know and feel that I do not.

```

42773

```

God knows when I adore Him

And when I flatter Him.

When I adore Him,

He embraces me.

When I flatter Him, He says:

“Sorry, I do not deserve it.” ```

42774

```

Silence is peace

For my outer world. ```

42775

```

Silence is delight

For my inner world. ```

42776

```

My mind

Is afraid of

Silence-night.

```

42777

```

My heart

Is enamoured of

My soul’s inner silence.

```

42778

```

A doubting mind

Is

A soundless forest-life.

```

42779

```

The poor mind

Cannot enjoy anything —

Even the rainbow-dawn!

```

42780

```

If you are afraid of the Unknown,

Then what will happen to you

If you try to know

The Unknowable? ```

42781

```

The importance of God’s Love

Is every day increasing

Inside my heart.

```

42782

```

Mind and matter —

In spite of their daily wranglings,

They stay together.

```

42783

```

There shall come a time

When earth will be equal

To Heaven.

```

42784

```

Do not try to look into the future.

The future will come on its own

At God’s choice Hour.

```

42785

```

When we do not listen

To God’s ardent Request,

He comes to us

With His Thunder-Feet. ```

42786

```

Never allow doubt

To think of your life. ```

42787

```

We must enter

Into our heart-land

To be beautiful and fruitful.

```

42788

```

Although the Universe is infinite,

The aspiration-heart has a free access

To the Heart of the Universe.

```

42789

```

The mind-power

Is terribly afraid

Of God.

```

42790

```

The heart-power

Is enamoured

Of God.

```

42791

```

Everything is extremely difficult

For the criticising mind

To accomplish.

```

42792

```

Everything is extremely easy

For the illumining soul

To accomplish.

```

42793

```

If you have a heart of peace,

Then nothing

Remains impossible.

```

42794

```

My soul is helping me

To put an end

To all ignorance-thoughts.

```

42795

```

Expect neither success

Nor even progress.

God will immediately show

His tremendous Pride in you. ```

42796

```

I must struggle and struggle

To see

My all-illumining soul.

```

42797

```

The human heart

Is afraid of blooming. ```

42798

```

The divine heart

Enjoys blooming,

Far beyond our imagination.

```

42799

```

Temptation is both

Dangerous

And treacherous.

```

42800

```

The darkness of the mind

And the blindness of the vital

Will never be able to claim me.

```

42801

```

Inside the mortal body,

The Beauty and the Light

Of the Immortal abide.

```

42802

```

Today’s emptiness

Becomes

Tomorrow’s fulness.

```

42803

```

Emptiness

Is the journey’s start. ```

42804

```

Fulness

Is the continuation

Of emptiness.

```

42805

```

Each desiring man

Is nothing but

A dissatisfied human being.

```

42806

```

The soul smiles

Through the readiness and eagerness

Of the genuine God-lover.

```

42807

```

No God-longing

Will ever remain

Unfulfilled.

```

42808

```

The Heaven-born soul

Is always eager to play

With the earth-born human lives.

```

42809

```

Temptation

Is the strongest

Magnetic power.

```

42810

```

Be devoted

To your heart

And do not remain addicted

To your mind. ```

42811

```

Unless we are willing to fight bravely

Against ignorance-night,

God does not take us seriously.

```

42812

```

My soul-bird flies

Upward and upward

With its powerful wings.

```

42813

```

My soul-bird dives

Inward and inward

With its dauntless wings.

```

42814

```

Earthly dreams

Are fleeting. ```

42815

```

Heavenly visions

Are everlasting. ```

42816

```

When we are most sincerely devoted

To God’s Will, God tells us:

“My children, is there anything

That I shall not do for you?” ```

42817

```

Once desire-attachment

I was,

But now detachment-life

I am. ```

42818

```

God tells me to be a great member

Of the inner world

For the good of the outer world.

```

42819

```

Our mind parades

Our fleeting glories. ```

42820

```

Our heart parades

Only the supreme Glories

Of our Absolute Supreme.

```

42821

```

Always be ready —

Your Lord can give you

An unexpected Call.

```

42822

```

Only those who are chosen

Will be allowed to proclaim

God’s Victory here on earth.

```

42823

```

I equally love

My Lord’s Music-Heart-Tears

And Music-Soul-Smiles.

```

42824

```

Beautiful

Are the earthly

Imagination-flames.

```

42825

```

Sweet

Is the Heavenly

Reality-Light.

```

42826

```

The Master himself cultivates,

Lovingly and self-givingly,

His children’s heart-gardens.

```

42827

```

There is no time limit

To our Heavenward journey. ```

42828

```

Our God-faith-tower

Far surpasses other towers

In height.

```

42829

```

In secrecy supreme

My Lord and I correspond

Every day.

```

42830

```

The seeker has

Sleepless queries. ```

42831

```

God has

Breathless Answers. ```

42832

```

Humour has the magic power

To lighten our minds

And gladden our hearts.

```

42833

```

The aspiration-bird

Must fly

Without being asked.

```

42834

```

Love, devotion, surrender —

These three divine qualities of ours

Must always remain fully awake.

```

42835

```

The Master’s heart

Is made of affection. ```

42836

```

The Master’s feet

Are made of compassion. ```

42837

```

The Master himself

Is made of inspiration, aspiration,

Realisation and perfection.

```

42838

```

A doubting mind

Will never know the beauty

Of an aspiration-flame.

```

42839

```

To listen to the whispers

Of the heart,

We all need a mind of tranquillity.

```

42840

```

When the expectation-door closes,

The satisfaction-door opens. ```

42841

```

Instead of being

The Judge of my actions,

God becomes

The Inspirer of my actions. ```

42842

```

One drop of devotion-tears

Can satisfy

Our Lord Supreme.

```

42843

```

The outer miracles of a spiritual Master

Can be counted,

But the inner miracles of the Master

Can never be counted. ```

42844

```

I do

Only what inspires

Others.

```

42845

```

I do

Only what others need

For their God-realisation.

```

42846

```

Whenever I want to pray to God,

God tells me:

“My child, let us sport first,

For a short time!” ```

42847

```

May my entire life

Be saturated

With devotion-tears.

```

42848

```

To have an unquenchable flame

In the heart

Is of paramount importance.

```

42849

```

This moment

God is

His bountiful Grace.

```

42850

```

The next moment

God is

His powerful Embrace.

```

42851

```

My Lord wants me

To extol Him in action,

Not in speech.

```

42852

```

May I live between

A self-giving life

And a selfless surrender.

```

42853

```

I cry to God

For His Forgiveness. ```

42854

```

God cries

For my oneness. ```

42855

```

God and I

Feed on

Our mutual affection.

```

42856

```

Once we see God,

The attraction of the world

Fades away.

```

42857

```

Once we see God,

Every human being

Is precious.

```

42858

```

Aspiration accepts

The dire challenges

Of temptation.

```

42859

```

God wants me to show Him

My real face —

My angelic face.

```

42860

```

Aspiration I need

In the inner world. ```

42861

```

Dedication I need

In the outer world. ```

42862

```

Realisation I need

In the higher world. ```

42863

```

Manifestation I need

In the lower world. ```

42864

```

God tells me

Not to give any importance

To my failure-life.

```

42865

```

God tells me to rise

Again and again

After each stumble.

```

42866

```

Emptiness

Can be used

For a divine purpose.

```

42867

```

Loneliness

Can never be used

For a divine purpose.

```

42868

```

Loneliness is

A sad failure. ```

42869

```

Every day

Each seeker

Is a newborn divinity-smile.

```

42870

```

I must transcend

All harsh

Man-made rules.

```

42871

```

There can be

No God-forsaken heart. ```

42872

```

O seeker,

Every day you must be prepared

For a major adjustment

In your spiritual life. ```

42873

```

My mind

Enjoys preaching. ```

42874

```

My heart

Enjoys crying. ```

42875

```

A heart of devotion

Knows the secret way

To enter into

God’s Heart-Room. ```

42876

```

I am so happy

That my Lord does not allow me

To choose —

He does the choosing for me. ```

42877

```

When I said farewell

To ignorance-night,

To my greatest surprise

I did not feel sad. ```

42878

```

God is eager to tell us everything,

But unfortunately, we do not have

Patient ears.

```

42879

```

My mind, remember,

God’s Grace has saved you

Many, many times.

```

42880

```

God is not afraid of me —

He just pretends! ```

42881

```

I am afraid of God —

I mean it,

And God knows it.

```

42882

```

When day dawns,

Immediately a new light

Enters into my heart.

```

42883

```

When I am not brave,

Earth

Does not need me.

```

42884

```

When I am not pure,

Heaven

Does not need me.

```

42885

```

When I say something kind

To the world,

God’s Pride in me

Knows no bounds. ```

42886

```

If I do not face my problems

Unperturbed,

Who can and who will?

```

42887

```

Everything inspiring that I do

Always comes from

My Lord’s secret Whispers.

```

42888

```

Be careful!

Not only will your enemies

Bring you down —

Your friends can also

Do the same.

```

42889

```

The sun and the moon

Are witnesses

When I say to God:

“I love You only

And I need You only.”

```

42890

```

What right do I have

To criticise the world?

Do I not know that

I am not authorized by God? ```

42891

```

God tells me not to worry

If I leave anything behind

In my life.

He will take care of it

In His own Way.

```

42892

```

One has to practise

The spiritual life

To the fullest extent.

```

42893

```

I do everything

For the peace of mankind

And not

For my personal reward. ```

42894

```

The spiritual life

Does not reject

The material life;

It just transforms

The material life.

```

42895

```

Criticism-weight

Is very heavy —

So too is discouragement-weight.

```

42896

```

When I live in my heart,

There is no stumbling block. ```

42897

```

In the seeker’s dictionary,

The word ‘despair’

Is not to be found.

```

42898

```

Disobedience-thoughts

Do not dare to come near me

Any more.

```

42899

```

Each moment

I throw my heart

Into the heart of prayer.

```

42900

```

I serve God in humanity

More than I ever imagined! ```

42901

```

Disobedience-hunger

Is

Self-destructive.

```

42902

```

We do not fail —

We just fall a few times

On our way to the Destination.

```

42903

```

We can claim everything

Once we are fully accepted

By God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

42904

```

For us, God exists

Only when we fall.

Otherwise, there is no God,

No God! ```

42905

```

God’s Promise

Lives and shines

Secretly

Inside our aspiration-heart. ```

42906

```

I must be a God-appointed

God-preacher

And not a self-styled

God-preacher. ```

42907

```

Heart-supplication

Is the safest and surest way

To realise God.

```

42908

```

I raise my heart;

God bends His Ears. ```

42909

```

God has only one thing

To tell me:

“My child, come.

Come! Come!” ```

42910

```

Anything that the mind

Has and is

Cannot be popular.

```

42911

```

O Lord,

You are the Love

Of my life.

```

42912

```

O Lord,

You have made me

The beauty

Of my heart-tears. ```

42913

```

A desire-finished life

I now am. ```

42914

```

A God-famished life

I have become. ```

42915

```

The tears of the heart

Speedily ascend. ```

42916

```

The smiles of the soul

Carefully descend. ```

42917

```

When I pray to God,

I feel that even Eternity

Is too short.

```

42918

```

I try my best to please my Lord

Seven days a week,

But, alas, I am never successful.

```

42919

```

I am always interested

In hearing God-News,

And also in supplying

Earth-news to God. ```

42920

```

I see God

Closing His Eyes,

But I never see God

Closing His Heart. ```

42921

```

God’s Heart

Is filled with

Our tears.

```

42922

```

God’s Life

Is filled with

Our problems.

```

42923

```

When I was a teenager,

I thought that

I could do everything

And be the master of my life. ```

42924

```

Now that I am

On the wrong side of seventy,

I feel and I know

That I can do nothing,

I can be nothing,

Without the Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

42925

```

Happiness is the magnet

That lifts us high above. ```

42926

```

God immediately hears

The cries

Of our devotion-heart.

```

42927

```

I must forsake

My hesitation-thoughts. ```

42928

```

Only God-tears

Can inundate

My heart.

```

42929

```

Pride is empty of

Sweet tears. ```

42930

```

Our only concern

Is God-search

Every day.

```

42931

```

All the seekers who love God

Have received

God’s Heart-Breath-Key.

```

42932

```

My heart-flower

Daily needs

God’s Compassion-Shower.

```

42933

```

May my heart

Be full of

God-Heart-Songs.

```

42934

```

I am

My God-worship-heart. ```

42935

```

If we do not offer

A full-hearted gratitude,

Then our gratitude is of no avail.

```

42936

```

God wants me

To race

With His Heart.

```

42937

```

My heart-shrine

Is filled with

My life-tears.

```

42938

```

God comes to listen

To my heart-whispers

Every day without fail.

```

42939

```

The mind will never be able

To be familiar

With God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

42940

```

May my gratitude-heart-lamp

Never be extinguished. ```

42941

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To please You always

In Your own Way. ```

42942

```

Finally, we have located the place

Where peace is —

Peace is inside the heart-breath

Of a seeker. ```

42943

```

Self-doubt

Is

Extremely dangerous.

```

42944

```

We must befriend

All those

Who sincerely love God.

```

42945

```

Man’s greatest gift to God:

His constant gratitude-heart. ```

42946

```

If you want to stay close

To God’s Heart,

Think only of Him,

Meditate only on Him

And offer Him all that you have

And all that you are. ```

42947

```

My surrender-life

Sings my Lord’s Songs

Most hauntingly.

```

42948

```

My God-devotion-life

Is

My God-given capacity.

```

42949

```

Finally, I have made

An unwavering commitment

To the Will

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

42950

```

Self-interest

And God-interest

Can never go together.

```

42951

```

Nothing is higher

Than my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye-Height.

```

42952

```

I once lived

A doubt-tower-life,

But now I have become

A faith-fountain-heart. ```

42953

```

Success is not hope,

But hope does contribute substantially

To success.

```

42954

```

To live even for a second

Without God’s Compassion

Is to endure

The bitter taste of tears. ```

42955

```

Rest assured,

If your heart accepts

The challenges of life,

God will come

To your heart’s rescue.

```

42956

```

This world is full of

Unknown realities. ```

42957

```

Alas, darkness covers

Not only the impurity-mind

But also the purity-heart.

```

42958

```

I must fly every day

Far beyond

The horizon of

Thoughts and actions. ```

42959

```

A child’s heart

Is a secret

God-magnetic power.

```

42960

```

My heart has no room

For an iota of impatience. ```

42961

```

The soul shines

Not only through light

But also through

Thickest darkness. ```

42962

```

Pray and meditate

In any way you want,

But your prayers and meditations

Must be totally sincere. ```

42963

```

He who does not aspire

For the Highest

Will not be taken seriously

By God Himself. ```

42964

```

Every day

You must value

Your self-discipline-life.

```

42965

```

My Lord,

I shall not punish myself any more

With austerities —

The middle path is the only real path. ```

42966

```

If you do not change your life

Willingly,

God will change your life

Forcefully. ```

42967

```

Wisdom

Is self-sufficient. ```

42968

```

Wisdom does not need

Outer forces

To accomplish its task.

```

42969

```

Leave the mind-jungle immediately

And enter into the heart-garden,

O my God-seeker-friend!

```

42970

```

What does the desire-life do?

The desire-life

Blindly and forcefully binds us

To the world of ignorance. ```

42971

```

If it is a divine project,

Then intensity

Is of paramount importance.

```

42972

```

There are so many ways

To establish our oneness

With God’s Will,

But constant selfless activity

Is the fastest way.

```

42973

```

Desire says

It can do everything. ```

42974

```

Aspiration says:

“My Lord will do everything

For me.”

```

42975

```

Purity in the mind

Is

A most difficult achievement.

```

42976

```

Once we achieve purity

In the mind,

Every task becomes

Easier than the easiest. ```

42977

```

Eagerness has the capacity

To expedite

Anything that we undertake.

```

42978

```

The outer transformation

Of life

Is much more difficult

Than the inner transformation

Of the heart.

```

42979

```

Joy we can create

Only on the strength of self-giving

With no expectation.

```

42980

```

A seeker is responsible

For making the connection

Between his heart and God’s Eye.

```

42981

```

A real dream can take us

Farther than the farthest

To our Goal.

```

42982

```

Each meditation

Can take us one step closer

To God.

```

42983

```

The mind needs

Many, many things,

But the most important thing

The mind needs

Is illumination.

```

42984

```

Faith is

The constant awareness

Of God’s Will.

```

42985

```

The present-day world

Is unfortunately

Empty of harmony.

```

42986

```

If we can shed ceaseless tears,

Then our love of God

Immediately increases.

```

42987

```

A heart of God-devotion

Is always

Sweeter than the sweetest.

```

42988

```

The mind surrenders

To doubt,

Which is nothing short of

Destruction. ```

42989

```

A child-heart,

No matter what it does,

Pleases God immediately.

```

42990

```

We must first try

To imagine swiftness,

Not in our mind

But in our heart. ```

42991

```

Once swiftness is established

In the heart,

We receive tremendous confidence

From our soul

To be victorious in our life.

```

42992

```

It is very difficult for the mind

To have integrity,

But once integrity is achieved in the mind,

We can approach God’s Heart-Abode

From any direction.

```

42993

```

The human mind

Loves the term

‘Eternity’.

```

42994

```

The divine heart

Loves the term

‘Infinity’.

```

42995

```

The Eternal Dreamer in us

Loves the term

‘Immortality’.

```

42996

```

An act of obedience

Can immediately take us

To God’s Heart-Home.

```

42997

```

My silence-heart

Is a constant pride

Of God.

```

42998

```

Our dependence on God’s Will

Can hasten our life’s journey

Unimaginably.

```

42999

```

Every morning God sends

His Happiness-Messenger to us

To speed us towards our Goal,

With no fear. ```

43000

```

How can I know

What God’s Will is?

I can easily know

What God’s Will is

Just by shedding ceaseless tears

At the Feet of God. ```
