When I pray and meditate
Successfully,I see that my life is bathed
In God’s golden Light. ```When I please God
In His own Way,He immediately allows me
To be submergedIn His infinite Ocean-Bliss.
```My gratitude-heart
IsMy Lord’s constant miracle.
```Each good, new thought
Is a genuine step forwardTowards God.

EmbodiesA special Breath of God.
```My God-surrender-heart
IsMy only joy on earth.
```The children of happiness
Will create a new world. ```We can make
God’s Victory sweeterBy making our hearts
Extremely pure. ```Two service-arms
And one love-heartAre all I need
To manifest God’s LightOn earth.
```When the flowers sing,
I feel a new dawnIn my heart.
```The outer experience
Is not an experience —It is just an experiment.
```The inner experience
Is the real oneThat shows us how close
We are to GodOr how far
We are from God. ```Love, devotion and surrender
Have to be increasedIn abundant measure
Every day. ```We can accomplish
EverythingThrough our heart’s sincerity.
```Inspiration
Without speechIs most powerful.
```My aspiration-fire
Has to challengeMy mind’s desire-waves
And conquer them. ```Quite often
The mind acceptsThe opinions of the vital.
```Alas,
The mind never takes adviceFrom the heart!
```When we start our aspiration-journey
With utmost concentration,God Himself applauds.
```No enthusiasm,
No success or progress —Either in our outer life
Or in our inner life. ```Ego means
Exclusion of the world,Ruthlessly.
```Faith means
Inclusion of the world,Happily and proudly.
```Every morning
God gives meAn aspiration-examination.
```My faith in God
IsMy only reality.
```I never fight with reason —
I just ignore it. ```Every day
Is a most significant dayTo cultivate
My spirituality-soil. ```Do not allow your mind
To distort your God-love,God-devotion and God-surrender.
```My God-surrender
Is the best exerciseFor my self-perfection.
```The mind loves
Self-indulgence. ```The vital loves
Titan-arrogance. ```I do not want to be claimed
Either by the old worldOr by the new world.
I want to be claimedOnly by God’s Compassion-World.
```If I am dependent on God,
Only then can I feel thatMy life has any meaning.
```Listen first —
The Master is speaking!Assimilate the Master’s messages,
Then speak to the world. ```We dream of God’s
Affection and Love. ```God dreams of possessing
Our soul, heart, mind, vital, bodyAnd everything that we are.
```The visible miracles
Do not last for long. ```The invisible miracles
Help us tremendouslyIn our inner life and outer life.
```A heart of peace
Does not find faultWith anybody.
```Every day
My soul tries so hardTo generate faith
In my doubting mind. ```To live in the Eternal Now,
We need an ever-progressingChild-heart.
```World-harmony
Is at the farthest horizonOf humanity’s cries.
```Soulfully, powerfully and self-givingly
We must hoist the Victory-BannerOf God.
```God is nothing
But a sleepless, all-embracingCompassion-Net.
```The love of the heart
IsAn ever-increasing joy.
```By nature,
The heart isKind.
```By nature,
The heart isAll-loving.

The mind lovesSelf-interest.

The mind dancesThe dance of division.
```No more do I see
My life’sAttachment-chains.
```The boundaries of space
Can easily be reachedBy the constant remembrance
Of God’s Compassion-Eye. ```Inner Peace
And eternal BlissLive
In each other’s hearts. ```No human being
Can outrunGod’s Compassion-Ocean-Eye.
```God wants
Only one thing from me:My God-oneness-heart.
```God does not request
My surrender. ```God does not command
My surrender. ```God waits and waits and waits
For the hourWhen I will surrender to Him
On my own. ```Faith, hope and obedience
Are inseparable friends. ```O world, you can break my heart,
But you must not dare to breakMy Lord’s Heart!
```God’s Tolerance
I exploit,But He does not mind.
```God’s Forgiveness
I exploit,But He does not mind.
```My unworthiness
Is the only thingThat God does not tolerate.
```A negativity-mind
Must be shunnedSooner than at once.
```Is there anything
That my Lord will not doFor my unconditional
Surrender-life? ```I have thrown myself entirely
Into the surrender-watersTo swim with my God’s
Compassion-flooded Will. ```Do not search for God
Blindly and carelessly. ```Search for God
Selflessly and sleeplessly. ```God tells me that
My heart’s gratitude-tears and smilesHe treasures
More than anything else. ```Science is
A modern discovery. ```Spirituality is
An ancient discovery. ```Yoga was born
When God’s EyeCast a Glance
On earth. ```My Lord is working all the time,
Twenty-four hours a day,But He says He is never busy.
How can I believe Him? ```The abolition
Of each ignorance-nightIs a clear sign
Of God-nearness. ```My heart
Does not believe inExpectation.
```My heart
Believes only inIts powerful promises
To God and mankind. ```It is so easy
To advise God. ```It is extremely difficult
To listenTo God’s Advice.
```God tells me to listen
To His Today’s Message,And not to pay attention
To His Yesterday’s Message. ```God invites
Each and every human beingTo come and play with Him,
But we are accustomedTo our usual delay.
```God wants to see
Our serving handsAnd aspiring heart
At one and the same place. ```Alas, is there any day
When our mind-prayersDo not stray?
```May my dreams
Be more realThan Reality itself.
```I long for a time
When God and ICan talk for a moment
Privately. ```I must spread
My God-manifestation-harvestThroughout the length and breadth
Of the world. ```If you have enthusiasm in the mind
And aspiration in the heart,You do not need anything else.
```No more doubts!
No more self-doubts!I now have become
A climbing heart-flame. ```My heart always prayerfully
And unconditionally agrees withMy Lord’s Will.
```God will be highly pleased with us
If we can enrich our livesWith aspiration-flames.
```Self-doubt
Is the killerOf one’s inner joy.
```The outer sunrise
Is beautiful.The inner sunrise
Is Godful. ```O my mind,
You must not forever ignoreMy Lord’s Compassion-Eye.
```Gratitude grows
By self-giving. ```My gratitude-heart
Has no time to be withMy God-torturing mind.
```No hour is meaningless,
No hour is fruitlessIn our God-hungry life.
```Each seeker
Is destined to haveA God-experience-life.
```When you are in
The Presence of God,Express yourself not only properly
But also self-givingly. ```My heart’s sincere cries
Will know no defeat. ```Opportunity
Without eagernessIs of no avail.
```Every day God descends
With new Promises,But, alas, we fail to accept them.
```The mind’s hesitation
Will never be able to arriveAt God’s Heart-Door.
```A child’s heart
Knows notWhat hesitation is.
```The inner cries
And the outer smilesAre both essential.
```We must discover
The inner TruthAnd not pay much attention to
The outer facts. ```When I do something unconditionally,
I see my Lord Supreme smilingIn the Seventh Heaven of Delight.
```Performance
Of the divine lifeNeeds no dress rehearsal.
```God’s Compassion-Heart
And my aspiration-heartAre hungry for each other.
```Each soul has
A unique capacityTo offer
To God’s Victory. ```Every seeker must join
Life’s transformation-game. ```God’s Smile
IsMy life’s dream-fulfilment.
```God comes
Only to see thatThe mind is frightened
To death. ```God comes
Only to see thatThe heart is dancing
In ecstasy. ```If you do not wait your turn,
How can you expectGod’s blessingful Boon
To come to you? ```Disobedience, shame on you!
You are a disgrace,Both to the inner world
And to the outer world. ```Who can hide
From God’s Compassion-HeightAnd His Justice-Light?
```Only surrender-heart
Phone callsDoes God answer.
```The first thing
That God needs from usIs sincerity.
```The ultimate thing
That God needs from usIs courage.
```I am so happy that my Lord,
Out of His Compassion,Has taken full possession of my life.
```Life is not only temptation
But also aspiration. ```God has asked Himself a billion times
One question:“Why have I created this world?”
```I shall never allow
My God-longingEver to sigh.
```Is there anybody
Who cannot beA cheerful God-server?
```Is there anybody
Who cannot beA truthful God-lover?
```Everybody has the right
To love God and worship GodIn His own Way.
```I pray to God
Not to raiseMy consciousness.
```I pray to God
To deal with my consciousnessIn His own Way.
```Not only the angels
But we human beings alsoCan please God
And fulfil God. ```The mind will never
Have any ideaHow merciful
God eternally is. ```Where there is oneness,
There is bound to be fulness.And what is fulness?
My Lord’s Heart-Home. ```The more we live in the mind,
The more serious problemsWe create for ourselves.
```Although it is extremely difficult
To love the world,We must love the world.
If not, the Goal will be denied us. ```The outer fire
BurnsOur existence.
```The inner fire
Illumines and fulfilsOur existence.
```The outer long distance
Frightens us. ```The inner long distance
Beckons usTo reach the ultimate Goal.
```The outer light
Dazzles us. ```The inner light
Immediately embraces us. ```Now we are afraid of fear,
But there shall come a timeWhen 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. ```When the mind is clear
And the heart is pure,God’s supreme Victory
Will inundate the entire being. ```The undivine thought tells us
That we are nothing,We are useless.
```The divine thought tells us
That we came from God the AbsoluteAnd we shall always be under
The Protection-GuidanceOf the Absolute Lord Supreme.
```There is a way to conquer jealousy.
Take jealousy as a piece of cloth.Use your utmost power
To tear that piece of clothInto hundreds of pieces.
While tearing the piece of cloth,Just think of all the jealousies you have.
Your jealousy is bound to disappear. ```Curiosity
In the spiritual lifeIs our worst enemy.
```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. ```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. ```God asks me to offer Him
All my secret thoughtsAnd to preserve all my sacred thoughts
Inside the depths of my heart. ```From the inner world,
We can bring to the fore encouragementTo fight against our discouragement.
And, needless to say, our victory is certain! ```When my heart
Starts blooming,My Lord claps and claps.
```When my heart
Starts blossoming,My Lord dances His Ecstasy-Dance.
```The outer music thinks and feels
That it cannot satisfy God fully. ```The inner music knows
That it is of God the MusicianAnd for God the Musician.
```The outer medicine
Is an ever-mounting courage. ```The inner medicine
Is to imagineThe infinite Power of God’s Eye.
```When I pray to God to make me happy,
He laughs and laughs and laughs.He says to me:
“My child, tell Me franklyWhen, where and how you are unhappy.
I shall make you happyOnly when you are ready to feel
That I shall do everything for you.You do not have to worry at all.”
```In the morning,
God came and gave meA peaceful heart.
```In the evening,
God came and gave meA blissful life.
```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.” ```God does not mind
When we question Him,But He does mind
When we stop listeningTo His Advice.
```When I pray to God for something beautiful,
God says to me:“You fool, you are already
Infinitely more beautifulThan anything else!”
```When I pray to God to give me
What He has and what He is,God says to me:
“You have completed and fulfilledMy transcendental Vision.”
```My Lord, what is the difference
Between my love for YouAnd Your Love for me?
“My child, your love for MeHas possession-hunger in it;
My Love for youHas Oneness-Hunger in it.”
```The medical world
Is success-pride. ```The spiritual world
Is progress-ride. ```A gratitude-obedience-heart
Is unparalleled. ```If we want to play the divine Game,
We must abide byGod’s Rules and Regulations.
```Meditation-time
Is incomparable. ```When I tell God
That I love His CreationMost sincerely,
I thrill God to the core. ```My heart-tears-achievements
Are treasuredBy God Himself.
```God is saving His Satisfaction
Regarding meFor another day —
Not today! ```Gratitude is as difficult
To preserveAs the flying wind.

What I have in my mind,But He does want to know
What I have in my heart. ```May my days and nights
Be God’s loving, surrenderingAnd fulfilling slaves.

Must not be confinedOnly to our hearts.
```Devotion
Is both sacred and secretIn our inner life.

There are many others! ```Adversities strengthen
Our sincerity-life. ```Out of His infinite Bounty,
God unsettlesOur complacent aspiration-life.

I need. ```My self-satisfaction
I now am. ```Again and again,

In another world. ```When God says yes,
He means it. ```When God says no,
He means,“Not now — some other day.”
```Our ingratitude-mind
Puzzles God. ```Our gratitude-heart
Thrills God immediately. ```Whatever God says
Is simple and direct. ```God is God’s sweet Will
When my name is sincerity. ```God is God’s iron Will
When my name is insincerity. ```All virtues are helpful to a degree,
But they may not be eternally helpfulWhen a higher Call comes.
```When I make a little progress,
God’s Heart burstsWith boundless joy.
```An aspiration-heart
Is a God-pleasing songEvery day.

Can changeThe fate of one’s life.
```I pray to God every day
To useHis Thunder-Drum-Commands
For my perfection-hunger-life. ```A negativity-mind
Knows only one thing —Misdirection.
```The inner cries
ActivateThe outer smiles.
```Year after year
God has been asking meTo cast aside the opinions
Of the mind. ```Everyone surrenders
To God’s Will,Only at different times.
```Alas,
Why do I not pay any attentionTo God’s advance Warning?
```God answers
All my secret desiresIn whispers.
```The human mind
Has many, many desires. ```The divine heart

Our extreme eagernessTo please Him
In His own Way. ```There is a great difference
Between our love of GodAnd God’s Love for us:
Our love tries to bind God;God’s Love tries to give us

With my gratitude-heart,His Joy knows no bounds.
```A true disciple
Is extremely enamouredOf everything
That his Master has and is. ```Only our God-gratitude-heart
Has the capacityTo measure our inner progress.
```The inner world
Does not need to knowWho I am.
```The outer world
Does not want to knowWhy I am.
```I always prefer
SurrenderTo expectation.
```I always prefer
The heart’s purityTo the mind’s brilliance.
```I always prefer
God’s FeetTo God’s Eye.
```The human in me prefers
God’s Compassion-FloodTo God’s Justice-Light.
```I prefer
My heart’s innocence-approachTo God
To my mind’s strength-approach. ```God prefers
My slow and steady approachTo my blind and fast approach.
```God prefers
My heart’s eagernessTo my mind’s competence.
```God does not care

I am not afraid ofMy soul’s divinity.

```Each heart-smile carries
The beauty and fragranceOf Heaven.
```God-obedience-seekers
AreVery, very fast runners.
```Every day,
In countless ways,God is telling us how to have
A new life of aspiration and dedication. ```The mind enjoys
Over-populated thoughts. ```There is only one purpose
In life:God-fulfilment in God’s own Way
At God’s choice Hour. ```The mind-books
Know how to explainThe facts.
```The heart-books
Know how to embodyThe Truth.
```Self-interested people
Are not meantFor the spiritual life.
```God’s Pride-Prize-winners
Are those who claimOnly God as their own, very own.
```Doubt lengthens
Our journeyTo the Goal.
```Faith not only shortens
Our journeyBut also brings the Goal
To us. ```To speak of God
Is easy. ```To love God
Is difficult. ```To surrender to God’s Will
ConstantlyIs the most difficult task.
```Our gratitude-prayers
God immediately answers. ```There can be no end
To God’s DreamsInside our aspiration-heart.

```My Lord, my Lord,
At this very moment,Do put an end
To my vagabond thoughts. ```My heart’s soulful smile,
More than anything else,Gives my Lord joy.

In my sweetness-dreams. ```Quite often
Tears give usGood news.
```Be alert! Be awake!
God is fast approaching you. ```My mind-thoughts
Strangle me. ```My heart-feelings
Carry me directlyTo God’s Heaven.
```God is always happy.
Why?Because He claims everybody
As His own, very own. ```What God has to say
We must listen toWith rapt attention.
```Do not judge anybody.
Behold, your LordRides right behind you
To judge you. ```I shall not be fully satisfied
Unless I can permanently liveInside my Lord’s Heart-Home.
```When you suffer for any reason,

```To our great joy,
Spirituality has become quite naturalIn the world.
```My heart was born
To cry sleeplesslyFor God’s Compassion
And Love. ```There is no final stage
Of my God-preparation. ```The outer eyes
May not be able to see God,But the inner faith
Can easily do so. ```Forgiveness is not enough —
If you do not forget the whole matter,Then your forgiveness is not complete.
```When we pray to God,
Loneliness disappears. ```When we meditate on God,
Oneness-joy blossoms. ```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!”

In your life.Just throw yourself completely
Into the Ocean-HeartOf your Lord Beloved Supreme.

May each momentBecome a prayer.
```When I close my eyes,
May each momentBecome a meditation.
```I came alone to Mother Earth,
But when I go back, I shall carry with meThe infinite affection and love
Of Mother Earth. ```When you feel that you are
Farther than the farthestFrom your Lord Beloved Supreme,
Who knows?Perhaps that is the time
When He is nearer than the nearest! ```Cry!

To be afraid of the Unknown,For the Unknown is secretly guiding
Our destiny. ```I do not know where I am going,
And I do not want to knowWhere I am going,
As long as I feel in my heartMy Absolute Lord Supreme.
```I cause such suffering
In the Heart of my Lord SupremeWhen I tell the world
That He does not care for me. ```The way the mind sees the Truth
Is, indeed,A distortion of the Truth.
```Facts belong to
The physical, vitalAnd mental worlds.
```Truth belongs to
The inner world —Specially to God’s World.
```Every day I can be
A better seeker,A better God-lover,

He will show me tomorrow! ```Simplicity, sincerity and purity
Are not enough.At every step, intensity is needed
To make rapid progressIn the spiritual life.
```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, helplessAnd useless.
```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.” ```With a good thought
I fly towards my Goal. ```With a bad thought
I sink into the abyssOf the darkest night.
```The earthly light
Is extremely limited,Extremely weak.
```The Heavenly Light

```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.’” ```Perfection
Is a subjectThe mind does not care
To study. ```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.
```God feels sad when we want to have
His Assurance of our God-realisation.He feels His Concern for our realisation
Far surpasses ours. ```God wants each human being
To be a special prideOf the earth planet.
```I must bring
My restless mindCompletely under my control.
```If you are already soulful,
Then be more soulfulIn your spiritual life.
```Every evening
God sends a progress reportTo each seeker’s soul.
```Desire must die
Immediately,And not just ultimately.
```My Lord Supreme tells me
That no matter how bad I am,He is not going to give up on me!
```Whatever I possess,
As a matter of fact,Has possessed me ruthlessly.
```If you do everything
Always in your own way,How do you expect God to be
Of any help to you? ```Who is really normal?
He who consciously,Or even unconsciously,
Fulfils God’s WillAll the time.
```I want to be
God’s chosen slaveTo make myself absolutely happy.
```I must have constant readiness,
Willingness and selflessnessTo be extremely close
To my Lord Supreme. ```If I am a very soulful seeker,
Then my Lord has made me so. ```God forgives all our weaknesses.
We must also do the same,To make the fastest progress.
```God teaches

ComesAhead of his time.
```Except death,
There is nothing certainHere on earth.
```The heart needs
No recommendationTo apply for a job

```My hopeful heart
Never surrendersTo my doubtful mind.
```A God-surrender-life
Can take a giant stepTowards self-perfection.

```God wants us to be
The lovers of LightAnd not its slaves.
```Alas, I have knocked and knocked
On all the doors of the world,Save and except my Lord’s.
```Hope can easily climb up
The loftiest tower. ```Worrying
Is worse than useless. ```Alas, we need patience
To wait and seeWhat God is going to give us
At His choice Hour. ```Our God-obedience
IntensifiesOur God-aspiration-cries.
```My Lord does nothing
Without a specific purpose. ```Desire-night
Is longer than the longest. ```Life is a journey —
So is death. ```O seeker,
You can aspireNot only for yourself,
But for the rest of the world. ```God’s Way
Is the only way that countsIn a seeker’s life.

And my promise-birdTo fly together
In His Infinity’s Sky. ```Every day
I try to developAn insatiable God-hunger.
```God suffers tremendously
When a seeker’s aspirationAnd obedience
Descend. ```God knows
All our problems,And He is ready to solve
All our problems,But we do not

Far, far beyondThe final Destination.
```When we are joyful and soulful,
God feels that He has receivedEverything from us.
```I am trying
To drown my egoAnd crown my heart.
```Each thought
Can be transformedInto a new hope-plant
And a new promise-tree. ```A gratitude-heart

And Life-Duty. ```With eagerness and intensity
EverythingCan be achieved.
```My Lord,
One thing I am telling YouMost sincerely:
I am at Your express Command. ```I must go far, far beyond
The horizonsOf my earthly desire-life.
```Even though my role is very small
In God’s Cosmic Play,My Lord pays ample attention to me.
```We must take a brave step —
Our feeble steps will lead usNowhere.
```My Lord tells me all the time:
“Do something good for others.This is the only way
You can make the fastest progress.” ```Once we sincerely enter
The spiritual life,There can be no turning back.
```When I see my Master’s face
In the depths of my heart,I see inside his face

```May my aspiration fly

The eyeOf ruthless mind-storms
To arrive at the Goal. ```My Lord, delay not!

```God-dependence

```God loves me more and more
Precisely becauseI open my heart’s door
A little more every day. ```Not by accusing the world
But by excusing the worldCan we have true happiness.
```The best I can do
Under the circumstancesIs to leave the world at God’s Feet
For Him to change its nature. ```God-seekers

```Just to make me happy,
My Lord tells meThat He badly needs a partner.
```My heart has

For every heart. ```My Lord, I am telling You
For the last timeThat I shall never, never
Make You unhappy. ```We know that nobody
Is perfectly happy now,But we feel that everybody
Can sooner or laterBe divinely and supremely happy.
```To become God’s favourite,
I gave up practically nothing —I only claimed my Lord
As my own, very own. ```The smiles
That we give to the worldFrom our inner suffering
Are most exquisite. ```Only a fool
Has the time to think ofThe next life.
```In the beginning

```God will tell you secretly
When you will be ableTo realise Him.
```God will tell you openly

```When God starts scolding me,
I immediately knowThat He has started moulding me.
```When I walk behind God
Soulfully and devotedly,God turns around and gives me
The Beauty of His Smile. ```Prosperity,
When not properly regulated,Meets with teeming disadvantages.
```My old self will vanish
Only when my present selfBreathlessly needs God.
```Today my heart and I
Must fulfilOur Lord’s Sunburst-Vision.
```My heart and I
Like to be the childrenOf the all-dreaming
And all-fulfilling present moment. ```Meditation
Is God’s Presence-invokerAnd God’s Presence-adorer.
```To search for God
Is good. ```To thirst for God
Is better. ```To hunger for God
Is by far the best. ```God uses
Not His powerful EyesBut His compassionate Arms
To change my life. ```When I stand in front of
My Lord Supreme,I am frightened.
```When I feel my Lord’s Presence
Inside my heart,I am thrilled beyond measure.
```Our love of God
Immediately increasesWhen our desire-life ceases
Forever. ```Austerities

```The Supreme dearly loves

It has been replacedBy the Divine from Above.
```I definitely and unreservedly believe
In the very bestOf every human being.
```If we cannot have faith

The most eloquent studentIn God’s Heart-School.
```O my heart-bird,
Always remain awake!Never close your beauty’s eyes.
```In disguise,
God performs His Manifestation-TaskInside all human beings.
```Meditation means

```My Lord,
Do give me another chanceTo expand my heart
To encompassAll of humanity.
```May my mind
Grow into a vastnessFar beyond my imagination.
```God does not need
Your mind-explanation. ```God needs only
Your heart-satisfaction. ```The difference between my love
And God’s Love is this:My love is all taking;
God’s Love is all giving. ```Patience is absolutely necessary
In the spiritual lifeTo realise God in His own Way.
```God treasures

If not You, my Lord,Can console my bleeding heart?
```My heart is now
A God-worshipper,But my Lord wants
My heart to becomeA God-lover.

```My Lord has

```Temptation
Is the strongestMagnetic power.

Upward and upwardWith its powerful wings.
```My soul-bird dives
Inward and inwardWith its dauntless wings.

Are fleeting. ```Heavenly visions
Are everlasting. ```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?” ```Once desire-attachment
I was,But now detachment-life

The Judge of my actions,God becomes
The Inspirer of my actions. ```One drop of devotion-tears
Can satisfyOur Lord Supreme.

Every day you must be preparedFor a major adjustment
In your spiritual life. ```My mind
Enjoys preaching. ```My heart
Enjoys crying. ```A heart of devotion
Knows the secret wayTo enter into
God’s Heart-Room. ```I am so happy
That my Lord does not allow meTo choose —
He does the choosing for me. ```When I said farewell

If I leave anything behindIn my life.
He will take care of itIn His own Way.
```One has to practise
The spiritual lifeTo the fullest extent.
```I do everything
For the peace of mankindAnd not
For my personal reward. ```The spiritual life
Does not rejectThe material life;
It just transformsThe material life.

Is very heavy —So too is discouragement-weight.
```When I live in my heart,
There is no stumbling block. ```In the seeker’s dictionary,
The word ‘despair’Is not to be found.
```Disobedience-thoughts
Do not dare to come near meAny more.

Speedily ascend. ```The smiles of the soul
Carefully descend. ```When I pray to God,
I feel that even EternityIs too short.
```I try my best to please my Lord
Seven days a week,But, alas, I am never successful.
```I am always interested
In hearing God-News,And also in supplying
Earth-news to God. ```I see God
Closing His Eyes,But I never see God
Closing His Heart. ```God’s Heart
Is filled withOur tears.
```God’s Life
Is filled withOur problems.
```When I was a teenager,
I thought thatI could do everything
And be the master of my life. ```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-EyeOf my Lord Supreme.
```Happiness is the magnet
That lifts us high above. ```God immediately hears
The criesOf our devotion-heart.
```I must forsake
My hesitation-thoughts. ```Only God-tears
Can inundateMy heart.
```Pride is empty of
Sweet tears. ```Our only concern
Is God-searchEvery day.

Never be extinguished. ```My Lord,
Do give me the capacityTo please You always
In Your own Way. ```Finally, we have located the place
Where peace is —Peace is inside the heart-breath
Of a seeker. ```Self-doubt
IsExtremely dangerous.
```We must befriend
All thoseWho sincerely love God.
```Man’s greatest gift to God:
His constant gratitude-heart. ```If you want to stay close
To God’s Heart,Think only of Him,
Meditate only on HimAnd offer Him all that you have
And all that you are. ```My surrender-life
Sings my Lord’s SongsMost hauntingly.
```My God-devotion-life
IsMy God-given capacity.
```Finally, I have made
An unwavering commitmentTo the Will
Of my Lord Supreme. ```Self-interest
And God-interestCan never go together.
```Nothing is higher
Than my Lord’sCompassion-Eye-Height.
```I once lived
A doubt-tower-life,But now I have become
A faith-fountain-heart. ```Success is not hope,
But hope does contribute substantiallyTo success.
```To live even for a second
Without God’s CompassionIs to endure
The bitter taste of tears. ```Rest assured,
If your heart acceptsThe challenges of life,
God will comeTo your heart’s rescue.
```This world is full of
Unknown realities. ```Alas, darkness covers
Not only the impurity-mindBut also the purity-heart.
```I must fly every day
Far beyondThe horizon of
Thoughts and actions. ```A child’s heart
Is a secretGod-magnetic power.
```My heart has no room
For an iota of impatience. ```The soul shines
Not only through lightBut also through
Thickest darkness. ```Pray and meditate
In any way you want,But your prayers and meditations
Must be totally sincere. ```He who does not aspire
For the HighestWill not be taken seriously
By God Himself. ```Every day
You must valueYour self-discipline-life.
```My Lord,
I shall not punish myself any moreWith austerities —
The middle path is the only real path. ```If you do not change your life
Willingly,God will change your life
Forcefully. ```Wisdom
Is self-sufficient. ```Wisdom does not need
Outer forcesTo accomplish its task.
```Leave the mind-jungle immediately
And enter into the heart-garden,O my God-seeker-friend!
```What does the desire-life do?
The desire-lifeBlindly and forcefully binds us
To the world of ignorance. ```If it is a divine project,
Then intensityIs of paramount importance.
```There are so many ways
To establish our onenessWith God’s Will,
But constant selfless activityIs the fastest way.
```Desire says
It can do everything. ```Aspiration says:
“My Lord will do everythingFor me.”
```Purity in the mind
IsA most difficult achievement.
```Once we achieve purity
In the mind,Every task becomes
Easier than the easiest. ```Eagerness has the capacity
To expediteAnything that we undertake.
```The outer transformation
Of lifeIs much more difficult
Than the inner transformationOf the heart.
```Joy we can create
Only on the strength of self-givingWith no expectation.
```A seeker is responsible
For making the connectionBetween his heart and God’s Eye.
```A real dream can take us
Farther than the farthestTo our Goal.
```Each meditation
Can take us one step closerTo God.
```The mind needs
Many, many things,But the most important thing
The mind needsIs illumination.
```Faith is
The constant awarenessOf God’s Will.
```The present-day world
Is unfortunatelyEmpty of harmony.
```If we can shed ceaseless tears,
Then our love of GodImmediately increases.
```A heart of God-devotion
Is alwaysSweeter than the sweetest.
```The mind surrenders
To doubt,Which is nothing short of
Destruction. ```A child-heart,
No matter what it does,Pleases God immediately.
```We must first try
To imagine swiftness,Not in our mind
But in our heart. ```Once swiftness is established
In the heart,We receive tremendous confidence
From our soulTo be victorious in our life.
```It is very difficult for the mind
To have integrity,But once integrity is achieved in the mind,
We can approach God’s Heart-AbodeFrom any direction.
```The human mind
Loves the term‘Eternity’.
```The divine heart
Loves the term‘Infinity’.
```The Eternal Dreamer in us
Loves the term‘Immortality’.
```An act of obedience
Can immediately take usTo God’s Heart-Home.
```My silence-heart
Is a constant prideOf God.
```Our dependence on God’s Will
Can hasten our life’s journeyUnimaginably.
```Every morning God sends
His Happiness-Messenger to usTo speed us towards our Goal,
With no fear. ```How can I know
What God’s Will is?I can easily know
What God’s Will isJust by shedding ceaseless tears
At the Feet of God. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 43, Agni Press, 2005
