The thrill of
God-SatisfactionIs far beyond
Our imagination. ```First I must discover
Where God is,And then I shall try to discover
Who I am. ```A seeker heads homeward —
To his Lord Beloved Supreme. ```The inner world
Has to be exploredBefore the outer world
Is extended. ```My Lord, I do not want
My satisfaction-meal.I want You to bless me
With a constantPerfection-hunger.
```The human life
Will never be a lost causeIf it feeds the inner hunger.
```I must not waste
My precious lifeIn the deserts and jungles of
‘If’ and ‘when’. ```Everyone takes a break,
But not our inner problemsAnd outer difficulties.
```To my great joy,
My God-denying mindOf the past
Has now become a ceaselesslyGod-relying mind.
```The heart’s concern
PrecedesThe self-giving life.
```For world-possession,
We have insatiable desires.For God-satisfaction, alas,
Can we not have the same? ```O temptation-mind,
What you deserveIs a flat refusal from me.
```My God-gratitude-heart means
My good-byeTo my proud mind.
```A soulful life
Can easily searchFor God’s Light.
```A short temper means
The fastest speedTo self-destruction.
```My Lord Supreme
Expects every dayA gratitude-heart-song.
```The superiority of the mind
Does not believe inA oneness-heart.
```Surrender is definitely
A most neededGod-satisfying power.
```The mind loves
God-dissatisfaction-daysAnd nights.
```The heart loves
God’s everlastingSatisfaction-hours.
```The heart of pride
IsAn empty world.
```Self-doubt
DrownsOur own life-boat.

Comes fromMy soul-illumination.

```God’s Life-lovers
AreGod’s Heart-conquerors.
```Every day
I must try to increaseThe vision

That invokesGod-Compassion.
```I need a heart
That adoresGod-Satisfaction.
```The temptation-door
Of lifeMust never be approached
By a genuine seeker. ```We all were extremely happy
Before the birthOf our minds.
```The mind is a billion miles away
From its real Heart-Home:God.
```I must not waste my time
Erasing my past. ```I must spend all my time
Embracing my present. ```When I meditate well,
My Lord gives meHis own Dream-Kite
To fly. ```Every day, every hour,
Every minute, every second,We must increase
Our love of God. ```My heart-eagerness
Is always foundAt my Lord’s Lotus-Feet.
```I do not need
A world-smart mind. ```I do need only
A God-expert heart. ```O my mind,
I beg you to beA sincere
God-beginner. ```The mind knows
How to feel sorryFor itself.
```Each heart
IsA God-temple-song.
```God is one,
But the mind-religionsNever believe it.
```Do not go anywhere.
Just dive deep withinTo find your real self.
```The luxury retirement-life
Becomes the sadness-tearsOf God’s Heart.
```If you think that everything in the world
Is out of order,Then start immediately
To fix and perfect everything. ```The mind loves
God-explanation. ```The heart loves
God-invocation. ```Meditation is God’s
Omnipresence-practicality. ```Keep aside your mind’s pride.
Dive deep withinAnd live inside
The heartOf your God-breath.
```The mind-advice
Is stupidity-founded. ```The heart does not know
And does not want to knowHow to advise.
It only knows how to inspireOn the strength of its self-giving.

```Aspiration
IsOur higher life-choice.
```Choose an untrodden path.
You will be able to makeYour Inner Pilot
Extremely happy. ```Alas,
An earth-bound lifeIs extremely fearful
Of a Heaven-free life. ```I am safe
Only when I am insideMy own inner silence-heart.
```My self-transcendence
Builds a very strong bridgeBetween my Lord and the world.
```To me,
God-realisationIs the fully-blossomed
Final awakening of the heart. ```To think of God’s Eye
Is to feelOne’s own consciousness-rise.
```Insecurity
IsA self-destruction-force.
```The reliability
Of the mindIs of paramount importance.
```God always answers
Our heart-climbing hopes. ```Every seeker
Is entitled to becomeGod’s favourite.
```There can never be a surplus
Of anything divine. ```A mind of jealousy

```O Lord,
Transform my mind’s uselessnessInto my heart’s usefulness.
```I prayed to God’s Eye
To liberate me,But God’s Heart came
And liberated me instead. ```To be a real hero,
Be a serverOf your Inner Pilot.

```The Hope from the Beyond
Has awakened my heart. ```We must face each moment
Either fearlesslyOr selflessly.
```Each moment God tells us:

No fixed goal,Never!
```What I need
Is a smile-flooded heartAnd not a tear-flooded face.
```A God-emptiness-life

```If we do not bathe
In the light of our inner sun,Then darkness will prevail.
```I take duty
As my God-reachingPilgrimage.
```O my heart,
Continue, continueYour self-giving life
To humanityFor its speedy progress
Towards God. ```God wants me
To build His ThroneWith my heart-tears

```God wants us
Not only to love HimBut also to serve Him.
```God wants us

```Purity is the most precious thing
That God has ever createdOn earth.
```God welcomes us
Only when He seesThat our expectation-life

“Pray for me.” ```The vital says:
“Look at me.” ```The mind says:

```O my mind,
Even youAre not past correction.
```In the morning
I start with God. ```In the evening

```Earthly joys
Quite often take usAway from God.
```Earthly pain
Quite often brings usBack to God.

Heaven-happiness-momentsI most devotedly place
At my Lord’s Feet. ```When I dine
With God’s Eye,It is all bliss.
```When I dine
With man’s mind,Fear tortures me.
```Our inner joy
Creates endless loveOf God.
```God invites us to see
That there is nothingHe will not do
For our God-awarenessAnd God-manifestation-life.
```I light my life
With my heart’sAspiration-candles.
```My task
Is aspiration-hunger. ```God’s Heart
Is my love-amplification. ```My soul
Grows and growsWhen my Lord
Glows and glows. ```To me,
God-serviceIs delight unparalleled.
```My silence-breath
Can easily terminateMy mind-sound.
```Determination
IsMind-power.
```Aspiration
IsHeart-bliss.
```God’s Bliss
Carries each of us every dayTo a new horizon.
```A God-oneness-heart
Is destined to haveA God-fulness-life.
```With tremendous reluctance,
My Lord acceptsAll my mind-complaints.
```God invites us
To be with HimMore than we will ever deserve.
```The human in us
Loves to ascendSleeplessly.
```The divine in us
Loves to transcendAnd transform everything
Breathlessly. ```Our God-oneness-heart
God values infinitely moreThan we do.
```God tells us
Not to waste our timeIn indulging
Our old dreams. ```God wants us
To invoke and cherishOur new realities.
```Our dynamism-life
Expedites our Godward journeyMore than we can ever imagine.
```God reads
My purity-heartBefore He does anything else.
```Our aspiration-heart
Must not learnHow to rest.
```The life-tree is already
Fully grownInside our heart.
```Our divinity-days
Are all ready to put an endTo our hostility-nights.
```Spirituality
Does not have to defendAnything.
```God has given spirituality
The capacityTo remain self-sufficient.
```Every day
My heart’s aspiration-sunIs growing more powerful.
```Lo, each human being
Has arisenFrom the darkest abyss
Of ignorance. ```My Lord,
Do cover my eyes,My heart and my all
With the dust of Your Feet. ```I know my Lord
Is guarding my lifeAnd guiding each step
Of my forward journey. ```No ignorance-night
Can ever trampleThe God-blossoms
Of my heart. ```In the God-race,
The mind and the heartHave always a separate beginning
And a distinctively different pace. ```The mind goes
Ten stepsAnd gets tired.
```The heart covers
Millions of milesAnd never gets tired.
```My Lord,
I clearly seeThat with Your outstretched Hand
You are bringing meClose, closer, closest
To Your Heart. ```One aspiring lifespan
Is more than enoughTo realise
The highest height. ```Now is the time for my heart
To meditate on GodMost sincerely.
```Now is the time for my life
To serve GodMost self-givingly.
```Gain the inner weight.
Lo, your fateIs completely changed
For the better. ```Who are my sincere friends?
My sincere friends are thoseWho never expect anything
From me. ```Who are my real enemies?
My real enemies are thoseWho fail to see eye-to-eye
With meIn every aspect of life.
```Be not sure
That the future will come to youIn the way you expect.
```When our faith is firm,
God approaches usFaster than the fastest.
```A self-giving life
Is its own reward. ```Before,
I lived the lifeOf prayers.
```Now,
I am living the lifeOf meditations.
```Before long,
I shall live the lifeOf complete surrender
To my Lord’s Will. ```Alas,
Not all thoseWho are around me
Are all for me. ```No answer we give
To our doubting mindCan ever satisfy it.
```God’s Eye may forget,
But God’s HeartNever forgets anyone.
```I pray to God
For forgiveness.God tells me:
“Instead of praying to MeFor forgiveness,
Pray for our oneness.” ```My Lord’s Satisfaction
Shows the inestimable progressOf my aspiration.
```If it is not God’s Will,
Do not think of othersTo help you.
Their help will be of no avail. ```The real faith
Is climbing higher and higherWithout paying any attention
To the understanding-hungry mind. ```God removes
All our obstacles,Provided our heart-tears
Are genuine. ```An iota of pride
Is the beginningOf God-departure
From my heart. ```Our sorrows and joys
Are together seekingOur God-discovery.
```God’s Heart can save
Only those whose faithHas accepted Him.
```If we do not love God
And serve God,How can we cure
The blind and deaf worldAround us?
```God has already measured
The course.Now He wants us to run
As fast as we canTowards our Destination.
```Rest assured,
There is somethingThat we can never lose:
God’s Compassion-Eye. ```God’s divine Love
Tells usThat our Heaven-climbing cries
Will succeed. ```My Lord,
Do allow me to love YouEvery day
Much more thanThe previous day.
```My heart’s divinity
Takes full responsibilityFor God’s Peace-Manifestation
On earth. ```Finally, with great difficulty,
I have revived the silenceOf my soul.
```God knows that
Many timesI stand against His Will.
But, again, He knowsThat His Compassion-Eye
Will win me over. ```Each time we cry
For earthly desire-fulfilment,God immediately starts to hide.
```Our life-breath enjoys
A dancing thrillWhen it sees
That God is knockingAt the door.
```When I run towards God
And beg Him to rescue meFrom ignorance-night,
My Lord says to me:“My child,
It is already done.” ```My heart’s sorrows and my life’s joys
Have jointly come to GodTo place themselves at His Feet.
God is blessing each oneWith a most appropriate Boon.
```I sing and sing
Every morning.The tears of my heart
Join me. ```All our heart-treasures
We must share. ```Each different dream
Has a special significanceTo lead us to our Goal.
```There are many problems,
But there is only one solution —And that solution is to place everything
At the Feet of God. ```The deeper we go,
The clearer the Truth becomes. ```I have only one confidant:
My secret soul. ```The outer strength
Boasts. ```The inner strength
Reaches the coast. ```Love
Whatever you doTo become
What you inwardly are. ```Everyone cannot be first.
But everyone can and mustJoin the cosmic Game
To make the Lord Supreme happy. ```A short temper
IsA big failure.
```Misfortune
IsA wisdom-giver.
```From children we learn
Two most significant things:A simplicity-life
AndA sincerity-heart.
```When I ask my heart
What is the most important thingIn life,
My heart says:Breathe in and breathe out
God’s Name. ```When we learn something,
We are not inferior,For we have the wisdom to learn.
```When we do not give,
We are, indeed, inferior,For we do not have the wisdom
To become one. ```When devotion is pure,
Everything in the inner worldBecomes absolutely sure.
```We have so much to learn,
Not only from the higher worlds,But from the world
Where we are living. ```The mind that does not want
To share with othersIs an absolute failure.
```Self-pity
Is the heightOf stupidity.
```If you are rich
In your love of God,Then only are you truly rich.
```Everything must change,
But it has to startFrom deep within.
```It is our stupidity
That we do not and cannotSee the truth
In others’ way as well. ```Always aim high
And high and high.God will give you
The wings to fly. ```He is dearest to God
Who thinks and feelsThat God is all Love
For all. ```The possessor of hopes
Is, indeed,A true enjoyer.
```Forget yesterday.
Yesterday could not give youWhat you really need.
```Today is the day
When you must makeA new and bold effort
To achieveWhat you actually need.
```The outer eyes
Enjoy beauty. ```The inner eye
Grows into the Beauty of beauties:God.
```If we love the truth
And practise truth,The world is bound
To gain something special. ```Just try one day
Without finding faultWith any human being.
You will see that happinessWill become your name.
```Each moment can be momentous
If we can take our love of GodAs something most precious.
```When our God-surrender
Is sure,Our love of God
Speaks volumes. ```I want to go home,
But where?My God-cherished heart-home.
```May all my hopes
BecomeA garland of roses
For me to offerMy Lord Supreme.
```Life means
A Heaven-ascentWith God-hopes.
```Give more to God,
For He has given you alreadyInfinitely more.
```Keep trying and trying.
This is the only wayTo arrive
At God’s Heart-Home. ```Imagination is always ready
To help usReach our destination.
```We all came into the world
To become the fragranceOf our earth-illumining soul.
```We all came into the world
To become the beautyOf Mother Earth.
```The luckiest people in the world
Are not those who haveIn boundless measure,
But those who feelThat they have more
Than they actually need. ```Try to become a listener
To the WhispersOf the Inner Leader.
```There is no stopover
Between my faithAnd my Destination.
```We must cling
To our Lord’s Feet,For that is the only place
Where we can find happiness. ```Sweet memories
Of spiritual momentsMust be lived not only invisibly
But visibly as well. ```To love God in His own Way
Is to becomeHis stalwart representative
Here on earth. ```Fleeting time
Saddens us. ```Everlasting time
Inspires and encourages usConstantly.
```The cruel mind
Is the causeOf my heart’s
Ceaseless despair. ```My Lord wants my heart
To welcomeNot only those who are with me
But also those who are all around meTo sail together
To the Golden Shore of the Beyond. ```My Lord asks me,
“My child,Where are your childlike smiles?
Where have you lost them?” ```My Lord asks me,
“My child,Where are your childlike cries?
Where have you lost them?” ```I can face
My Lord’s powerful EyesAt any time.
```I cannot face
My Lord’s tearful Eyes,Never!
```My mind,
No more hatred,No more —
Either in your worldOr in any world.
```What has man
Finally made?Nothing but futility.
```What is God
Finally offering?To unconditionally wait
For man’s arrival. ```In a desire-life
Insecurity-trainNever stops.
```Alas, will I ever feel
How much I tortureMy Lord Supreme
With my self-doubt-thorns? ```God loves man’s heart,
But He embracesMan’s life-progress-smiles.
```A true God-lover

```Hope-lost people

```Every morning
My Lord HimselfWaves my surrender-flag
Happily and proudly. ```If there is no positive attitude,
Our life cannot proceed. ```Each aspiration-heart
Is a blossoming dreamOf God.
```Poor mind!
It knows onlyHow to contradict
And nothing else. ```Unlike us,
God’s Heart-EnterpriseNever charges.
```My gratitude-heart
Offers express prayersTo my Lord Supreme.
```To depend on oneself
Is to walk on a tightrope.The distance travelled
Is very limited. ```God takes a happy heart
As His priceless reward. ```May my God-searching
Every day sharpen. ```May my God-longing
Every day deepen. ```My Lord’s Blessing-Smile
Is beyond compare. ```Every day
I must developIntense hunger
To receive God’s Blessings. ```The mind looks for

Of reality. ```If we cannot cultivate
A cheerful frame of mind,Our inner progress
Will never bloom. ```My Lord,
Only You can standMy unforgivable mind-insolence.
```When God sees
Our helplessness-tearsAnd sincerity-cries,
He comes to usIn the twinkling of an eye.
```I need only
What my LordSmilingly and proudly gives.
```Where is the problem,
Where?My Inner Pilot
Is always in chargeOf my life.
```There is no such thing
As an inner obligation.It is only our inner awakening.
```My soul tells me
From now onTo try everything
In God’s Way. ```God’s special Concern
Is not only for those who love HimAnd need Him,
But also for those who are tryingTo run away from Him.
```My Lord tells me
That He and I are almost nearHis Heart-Garden.
```Sooner or later,
Each seeker has to giveA farewell address
To his old friend, ignorance. ```My doubting mind
Stopped my LordFrom telling me everything
About my inner life. ```Each and every hurdle
Can be surmounted,Provided we have a very solid
God-surrender-foundation. ```My Lord,
Do you really need me,Or is it my cherished,
Wishful thinking? ```The mind
Can liveWithout God.
```The heart
Can never, never liveWithout God.
```God does not mind
When I speak ill of Him,But when I speak ill of the world,
He turns His Face away. ```When the day dawns,
Night approaches God’s FeetAnd stays at God’s Feet.
```O my mind,
You are trying to be good.I am so happy!
I am sure from now onGod will make you
Better and better. ```The mind-square
Rejects us. ```The heart-circle
Includes us. ```Alas, when will I know
Why my LordTolerates my enemies
All the time? ```I take pride
In serving God visibly. ```God takes pride
In blessing me invisibly. ```My Lord tells me
That no seekerIs indispensable,
But each seekerCan be extremely useful.
```We must not harp
On the failuresOf the past.
```We must go forward
With our life’sNew dedication.
```We must go upward
With our heart’sNew aspiration.
```We must go inward
With our soul’sNew promise.
```May my life be found
At every momentBetween an aspiration-glow
And a dedication-flow. ```O my mind,
Why do you inviteUnnecessary anxiety
To make my life miserable? ```Be grateful
For world-acclaim. ```Be indifferent
To world-flattery. ```Each divine thought
We must executeWith tremendous enthusiasm.
```God composes Aspiration-Songs
Through meWith His Compassion-Eye.
```The qualities of the heart
Are always divine, illuminingAnd fulfilling.
```All I need
Is God’s Compassion. ```All God needs
Is my attention. ```My heart and I
InvokeGod’s Presence.
```My mind and its doubts
RevokeGod’s Presence.
```We are so fortunate
That our Lord’s Compassion-HeartAnd not His Justice-Eye
Presides over our life-destiny. ```All I need is to feel
That I am all for God. ```Whatever God tells me
I see taking rootIn my heart-soil.
```God does solve our problems,
But He does itAt His choice Hour.
```May my aspiration-heart
Run the fastest. ```May my dedication-life
Run the longest. ```We are not obliged
To answerAny of our mind’s
God-disregarding questions. ```An aspiration-heart
MeansA tolerance-life.
```We must outrun the mind
Every dayIn our aspiration-life.
```God and God’s Compassion-Eye
Are singularly pleased with meWhen I most devotedly cling
To His Feet. ```My heart-tears
AccelerateMy aspiration-speed.
```I cannot live
Even for a secondWithout my Lord’s

```I have made

```Aspiration flies upward
To touch God’s Feet. ```Meditation dives inward
To clasp God’s Heart. ```The mind is a useless

```The inner light
Has to penetrateThe very heart of darkness.
```The voices that we hear
In the inmost recessesOf our heart
Are our well-wishers. ```Nature lives
Only to revealGod’s Beauty.
```God’s Presence
Can be found very vividlyAt the heart-door
Of Mother Earth. ```The inner dawn before long
Will put an endTo the slumbering mind.
```Each thought
Has to be surchargedWith our heart’s sunlight.
```A heart
Is made ofGod’s Divinity-Bliss.
```We must not
Try to escapeFrom ignorance.
```We must
Conquer ignorance —This is the right thing to do.
```The dark mind
Has to be illumined firstIf we want to walk along
The path of Truth. ```God is most invisibly
But compassionately knockingAt our heart’s door
All the time. ```When my heart reveals
God’s Face,I feel the hour will soon come
When I will be able to place myselfAt God’s Feet.
```Every day
We must try to beCloser and closer
To our Lord’s Feet. ```Divinity’s Truth
Will definitely protectEarth’s cries.
```The sunshine of our heart
Must come to the foreTo illumine the darkness
Of the outer world. ```Only the souls that are awakened
Should enter intoThe dark chambers of the mind.
```There should be no compromise
Between a doubting mindAnd an aspiring heart.
```We must bring to the fore
Our inner lightTo feed our God-hungry life.
```We need an indomitable power
To say no to ignoranceOnce and for all.
```According to our inner progress,
Our outer perfection takes place. ```We are destined to be happy
And remain happyIn God’s own Way.
```The blind powers
Of the human mindCannot forever rule the world.
```Nature willingly
Wants to offer usIts hidden ecstasy.
```Life is not
A mundane storyHere on earth.
```Life is
A fountain-songHere on earth.
```I must be in close touch
With my inner,God-loving heart.
```Although life is
Within sound,Life has to be
For silence only. ```No more is my mind
In a hurricane-destruction-life. ```God lovingly
Controls time. ```Time powerfully
Controls our lives. ```God’s Silence
No longer wants to beIn secrecy supreme.
```The seeker’s very eyes
Must showDivinity’s Glow.
```We must protect the weak
If we really want to beProtected by God
At every moment. ```Anything that is harmonious
Comes from the worldOf silence.
```O blue-winged bliss-bird,
Do come and claspMy God-hungry eyes.
```Every day
I water the peace-plantIn my heart-garden.
```O gratitude,
Will you forever remain unbloomedHere on earth?
```There is not a single day
When God’s KindnessDoes not attend to
Our days and nights. ```God’s Eye prevails
In the Heaven-climbingGod-seekers.
```My heart is all ready
To announce God’s VictoryIn my inner nature
And my outer nature. ```The best seeker
Can turn the worst realityInto the best dream.
```When my hope-sun rises,
It illumines the entire world. ```Every day
I take as my thanksgiving day —As a form of prayer
To my Lord Supreme. ```Every morning
God comes to visitMy heart-garden
With His Compassion-Eye. ```Our silence-heart
Is not only secretBut sacred.
```My God-dreaming heart
ConsolesMy painful outer life.
```I must keep burning
My inner fireTo devour
My outer blunders. ```My freedom
LivesIn my God-obedience.
```How fortunate we are
That we can prayAnd meditate regularly
Without any obstruction. ```This moment desire-waves,
Next moment aspiration-mountain —This is our life!
```My gratitude-heart
And the dust of God’s FeetAre very close friends.
```I must try to be
A God-service-hero. ```I do not want to see
The worldWith my mind’s judgement.
```I want to see
The worldWith my heart’s eye.
```Alas, a human life
Is bondageFrom head to foot.
```We must be successful
In pleasing GodLong before we think
Of seeing His Face. ```From bitter experiences,
The God-Forgiveness-TreeProduces sweet fruits.
```If we do not please God,
One day we will be forcedTo live inside
The mind-prison. ```My daily discipline-life
Paves the wayTo my Lord’s Heart-Home.
```Is there any human weakness
That I do not findWithin myself?
```The inner light
Is quite often not welcomedBy the outer life.
```I must try to please God
Even for a fleeting moment. ```One-pointed
God-invocationIs all I need.
```God plays
Only one game:Forgiveness-Game.
```Mind-oblivion —
Yes, yes, yes! ```Heart-God-absorption —
Yes, yes, yes! ```My experiences
Are the foundation stonesUpon which I shall build
My life’s edifice. ```Once we invoke God,
We must never dareTo revoke Him.
```We must visualise God
With our heart-criesAnd our soul-smiles.
```I have banished
My jealousy-impurity-worry-life. ```Each day
God autographsOur aspiration-heart.
```Detachment
Is the pioneerOf enlightenment.
```Not measurable
But immeasurable receptivityWe need.
```Our inner wisdom-light
Can dissolveOur animal-anger.
```God comes
No matter whenI call Him.
```God welcomes me
No matter how undivineI am.
```Alas,
My own desire-mindHas stood against
My aspiration-heart. ```Ingratitude
Is a surprise failureOf the Twenty-first Century.
```I have three special friends:
Faith, love and surrender.They always follow me.
```To be at God’s Feet
Is to free oneselfFrom ignorance-attacks.
```I strive to remain
Self-givingly happy. ```I speak
For myself. ```My heart speaks
For God. ```A sincere God-seeker
Does not believeIn permanent failure.
```I want to invoke God,
But God wants meTo entertain Him.
```Only God’s Protection-Eye
I invokeTo watch my thoughts.
```To my great joy,
I cannot name even one thingThat God has done
To displease me. ```I do not think God needs to do
Even one more thingTo please me.
```Climb up —
Do not sit down!It is high time for you
To climb upAll problem-mountains.
```God’s Forgiveness-Heart
Does not believe inMy God-rejection-life.
```God’s blissful Eye
And the flames of my aspiration-heartAre mutual admirers.
```Opportunity has many doors.
I shall have to choose the oneThat will satisfy both God and me
All at once. ```God has planted
Wisdom-Seed-LightInside all God-seekers.
```The mind knows
How to displease God. ```The heart is challenging
The mindBy pleasing God
All the time. ```My life
Longs for God. ```My heart
Longs for God’s Will. ```What does the ego want?
The ego wants alwaysThe royal treatment.
```I need fire engine-speed
To save my heartWhen it is in trouble.
```Doubt-believers
AreImpossibility-dancers.
```Each Smile of God
Has a most charmingAnd most powerful Touch.
```I need
Concentration-deer-speedTo run
Towards my Goal. ```Heaven comes to us
In the beginningWith its Sweetness-Voice.
```If Heaven fails
With its Sweetness-Voice,It comes
With its thunderous VoiceTo transform us.
```To me,
The mind-clownIs nothing but pitiful.
```Sincerity and humility
Are very close friends. ```No God-fulfilling truth
Can forever remain hidden. ```Quite often I forget
God-Forgiveness-stories. ```I never forget
God-Oneness-songs. ```In a twinkling,
Frustration can becomeDestruction —
Nay, self-destruction. ```Until I find God
In every heart,I cannot claim to be
A good, sincere seeker. ```Each time I blame the world,
God goes one stepFarther away from me.
```The unaspiring mind
Is, indeed,A bulldog-stubbornness.
```Selflessness
Is the harbingerOf God-Satisfaction.
```We start our life’s journey
With the purity-heartOf the morning jasmine.
```We end our life’s journey
With mind-thornsAnd heart-roses.
```We must cross over
Falsehood-oceanAnd not be frightened.
```Earth and Heaven
Are bothGod’s choice instruments.
```God’s earth-instrument
Works through sympathyAnd patience.
```God’s Heaven-instrument
Works through LightAnd Delight.
```The hostile forces are hidden,
But we must bring them to the foreAnd expose them to Light.
```My Lord breathes
Inside the heartOf eternal Time.
```Our invisible enemies
Do much more harm to usThan our visible enemies.
```Silence I invoke —
Slowly, steadily and unerringly. ```Sound I revoke —
Quickly and vehemently. ```My heart is God-expansion
And self-expansionAt the same time.
```Extinguish as soon as possible
The desire-fireBefore it burns the heart-home
To ashes. ```I must realise
That every momentIs a very, very special Blessing
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```Each new heart-aspiration
Of mineIs a new life-creation.
```I would like to be
An everlastingGod-Creation-server.
```The cosmic gods
Are my inner,Self-giving friends.
```I need a new heart
To feelMy Lord’s Heart-Pangs.
```Fear not the future.
Love the future. ```My Lord’s singular Glance
Slays my darkened mind. ```My Lord,
You call it Your Eye.I call it my Ecstasy.
```My Lord,
You call it Your Heart.I call it my Nectar.
```I wished to become
A nobility-mind-tower. ```I now wish to become
A purity-heart-flower. ```The outer world-justice
Frightens me. ```The inner world-justice
Liberates me. ```There was a time
When I lovedMy purity-heart-shrine.
```Now is the time
For me to becomeMy purity-heart-shrine itself.
```Between my heart
And my Lord’s HeartThere is only one thing:
Sweetness-bliss. ```I begin my inner life
With the fragranceOf a new moon.
```I begin my outer life
With the beautyOf a new sun.
```O world,
When I call you,You can leisurely
Take your time. ```O world,
When God calls you,Go, immediately go!
