```Some seekers

Unconscious captivity. ```If you dig deep

Is paved withMy devotion-tears.
```World-forgetfulness
Is not a virtue. ```World-forgetfulness
Is, indeed,An inner crime.
```Knowledge
Can never reachHeaven.
```Wisdom can reach
Heaven’s Feet and earth’s heartAll at once.
```Each seeker
Should try to becomeAn exemplary lover
Of God’s Light. ```Each seeker
Should discoverHis own way
To arrive at God’s Door. ```World-concern-duty
Must be untiring. ```Why do we need a mind
That so oftenIntimidates us?
```To have a concrete plan
For a new worldIs, indeed, a splendid idea.
```Spirituality-delay
Is nothing short ofSerious stupidity.
```May there be a relay
Between my prayersAnd my meditations.
```Do not subdue your emotions —
Illumine them.This is the correct way.
```Aspiration
Is our heart’sHeaven-climbing tree.
```Never dream of separating
Your existenceFrom the world.
```Truth cannot
Forever remainUnheard.
```The heart of a seeker
Is God’sCompassion-Fragrance.
```When we say,
“God, I love You,”This is the first step
Of our spiritual life. ```When my devotion-heart
Opens its eye,It immediately sees
God’s Compassion-Eye. ```Purity-moon
Each heart needs. ```God does not want anybody
To escapeFrom His Embrace.
```If anything in my life
Has meaning,Then it is
My God-hunger-tears. ```I have problems,
And God has His Feet-DustTo solve my problems.
```I do not want to hear anything
That is not connectedWith God.
```One Nectar-Delight-drop
Is more than sufficientTo quench my thirst-pinch.
```The spiritual life
Is a dailySelf-transcendence-challenge.
```To transform a human life
Into a divine lifeIs most difficult —
But it is not an impossible task. ```The repetition of God’s Name
Is the only thing that gladdensMy soul, my heart and my life.
```I am so happy that
My obedience-heart travels with me,And not my rebel-mind.
```If you want to understand
The meaning of the world,Then forgive the world
First. ```A purity-mind
Is not only needed,But obligatory.
```Simplicity and sincerity
Are the two immediate needsOf the world.
```When I walk
Towards my Master’s home,My eyes smile
And my heart dances. ```On earth,
The soul’s God-victory-battleNever ends.
```Seekers are
God’s Will-fulfilment-strugglersToday.
```Tomorrow
Seekers will becomeGod’s Victory-dancers.
```If you want to reach
God’s Heart-Home,Then you must not carry
Even a trace of worldliness. ```Each soul
Is a living breathOf God’s infinite Wisdom-Light.
```Truth aspires
All the time. ```Falsehood expires
Eventually. ```A seeker means
One who wants to come out ofHis mind-prison.
```Our mind-eye
Sees darkness-nightEverywhere.
```Our heart-eye
Sees beauty and lightEverywhere.
```Each seeker has a spiritual giant
Lying dormant inside his life.At God’s Hour
That giant will come to the fore. ```Be aware of
God’s unexpectedArrival-moment.
```Self-confidence
Is an inner attribute. ```I must stop
My mind’sImpurity-infiltration.
```I must stop
My life’sInsecurity-attachment.
```I never listen to
My mind’sAdvice-volleys.
```We need a world
Filled withThe beauty of a rose.
```Divinity I have chosen
As my earth-life-saviour. ```I pray to God,
Not to sit next to Him,But to sit at His Feet.
```Our love of God
Should be our life’sPerfection-offering.
```I am my life’s
Only burning question. ```God is my life’s
Charming, illuminingAnd fulfilling Answer.
```A God-given talent
Everybody hasDeep within.
```I have entered into the world
With my heart’s eyeWide open.
```Alas,
My mind is made ofUseless facts.
```To my great joy,
My heart is made ofGod-Dream-fulfilment.
```All the centuries
Have the same problem:The misunderstanding
Of God’s Compassion. ```All the centuries
Have the same problem:The understatement
Of God’s Self-giving. ```To fly in God’s Sky,

```God smiles
To give meBoundless joy.
```God cries

Ushers in a new world ofGod-fulfilment-promise.
```Sound thrills

Brings us one step closerTo God’s Feet.

And God’s CompassionEvery day feed each other.
```God’s Victory-Banner
We must hoist,No matter what consciousness
We are in. ```O my mind, do not delay!
Rise upWith the aspiring heart.
```Desire spans the distance
Between the doubting mindAnd the strangling vital.
```A silence-heart
DeservesA special victory-award.
```A silence-heart
Is always the winnerIn the inner world.
```Earth and the heart
Always go together. ```Heaven and the soul
Are always together. ```God and I
Are always for each other. ```God-advisers
Are too many to count. ```God-lovers can easily be counted,
For they are very fewIn number.
```God has a very special Concern
For each and every heart-flame. ```Although my God-interviews
Are very short,They are extremely beautiful,
Meaningful and fruitful. ```Angels do not come down
From Heaven.Angels fly in our heart-sky
All the time. ```My earth-wings
AreSingularly beautiful.
```My Heaven-wings
AreEndlessly powerful.
```Each seeker must wait
For God’s CommandAnd not be restless.
```If you are full of yourself,
How can poor GodEnter into your life?
```Good news!
The mind is finally readyTo obey God implicitly.
```World-transformation
Has the slowest pace. ```Inside even the darkest days,
The brightest sunlightLives in disguise.
```Darkness
Is not neededTo appreciate light.
```Light is self-illumination
And life-expansion. ```Each smile of my heart
Makes my worldBetter.
```In my heart-garden,
Each benchIs my best meditation place.
```Not the dust of the past,
But the dust of my Lord SupremeI long for.
```The sound of God’s Footfalls
Has awakenedMy sleeping heart.
```If you want to say good-bye
To your ignorance-world,Then do it immediately!
```He who waits and waits
To improve his inner lifeAnd outer life

```The desire-life
RushesTowards the prosperity-goal.
```The aspiration-heart
RushesTowards God’s Feet.
```The mind does not want the heart
To cryFor God’s Compassion, Affection
And Love. ```The aspiring heart
Shall put an end toIgnorance-performances.
```The mind
Is crawling and crawling,With no destination.
```The heart
Is running and sprintingTowards the God-Destination.
```The seekers who want
Only God-SmilesAre not serious and sincere.
```The mind is
A failure-sufferer. ```The heart is
A sadness-sufferer. ```I am
An ignorance-sufferer. ```Not slowly, but forcefully,
We must throw ignoranceOut of our life.
```God’s choice Hour
Is always on time. ```Faith nourishes
All the divine qualitiesIn us.
```We must treasure faith
More than anything else. ```God is bound to come

```Be strong in your aspiration.
Do not allow yourselfTo be swayed
By others’ likes and dislikes. ```The hero in us

```Alas,
The darkness-mind-tunnelIs long, very long!
```An unaspiring mind
Means inner resistanceTo God’s Will.
```O my mind,
You will never be successfulIn darkening
The light of my heart. ```Life is not suspended
Between joys and sorrows. ```The mind gets tremendous joy
In finding faultWith our heart’s aspiration-cries.
```According to the mind,

Of God the Creator. ```Cynicism and spirituality

```The soul-telescope

```Self-esteem

```The ego-mask
Must be removedAs soon as possible.
```Never try to stand alone,
All by yourself.Always seek God’s Grace
And Guidance. ```Interdependence,
Not independence,Is our desire.
```I am no longer
My old, habit-bound life. ```Every morning
I knock at my Lord’s Door,Only to see that it is wide open.
```Daily battles

```God’s Compassion-Fountain

```True love

```I feed on

My heart always doesThe right thing.
```My only desire

```There is not a single aspiration-heart
That does not please GodWith prayerful and soulful songs.
```The day we aspire,

We can claim everybodyAs our own.
```My Lord
Is my heart’s Torch-Light.No night, no night!
```When my heart is all sweetness,
My life becomes all onenessWith God the Creator
And God the Creation. ```Every morning
I dive and swimIn the sea of silence-ecstasy.
```My Lord says to me,
“My child,Do Me a big favour:
Never abandonYour life-giving service
To mankind.” ```God does not care for

Broken-hearted. ```How rare to find
A desire-empty mind! ```The eyes may grow tired
Of God’s Beauty,But never the heart.
```A mature seeker

```God does not believe in
My sooner-or-later arrival —He believes in my soonest arrival.
```I dislike myself vehemently
When I do not fulfilEven a single Wish
Of my Lord Supreme. ```Each one has
A special wayTo please God
In His own Way. ```The mind cleverly tries
To keep GodAt a safe distance.
```My own self-giving experience
I need every day. ```God wants my inner life
To lead my outer life. ```The mind loves
To keep the unreal. ```The heart keeps the Real
And discards the unreal. ```I get tremendous joy
When my Lord SupremeScolds me ruthlessly
For making the smallest mistake. ```When I lose interest
In God,I do not suffer at all.
```When God loses interest
In me,I simply die.
```In Heaven,
My Lord always hasSomething nice to say about me.
```Alas, on earth,
Sometimes I hesitateTo say anything about God.
```No matter what I do,
I cannot satisfyThe outer world.
```I just give an iota of love
To the inner world,And the inner world
Is highly pleased with me. ```To be carefree
Is the sign ofInner strength.
```To be careless
Is, indeed,The height of stupidity.
```I pray to God
For His LoveAnd never for His Power.
```Every day
God asks me to prepareA most special Throne and Crown
For Him. ```Our inner aspiration
FortifiesOur outer dedication.
```Our outer intolerance
WeakensOur inner divine qualities.
```We must take each thought
As seriously as possible. ```Modern life
Is empty of sincerity. ```A genuine seeker
All the time radiatesHis inner light.
```I feast on
My Lord’s Smiles. ```My Lord feasts on
My tears. ```God’s Arrival
At my heart-doorTook away
All the undivine in me. ```Only the divine in us

```There are so many forces —
Divine and undivine —That circle around

MeansA complete failure-life.
```I take criticism and flattery

```God wants me to be
A strict, very strict, leaderOf my thoughts.
```The moment my Lord composes
A heart-beauty-song,I immediately start learning.
```The heart of my silence-life
Invokes Infinity’s PeaceFrom Above
At every moment. ```At every moment

Inwardly and outwardly. ```God enjoys
My heart-devotion-songsMore than anything else.
```My heart’s tiniest gratitude
God treasures. ```Include the world —
Lo,Enjoy God’s Pride.
```Exclude the world —

God comes runningTo appreciate its beauty.
```When my heart blossoms,
God starts singingAnd dancing.
```God has given me

But, alas, I do not use my heart. ```God has given me
Two perfect eyesTo see Him dancing.
But, alas, I do not use my eyes. ```My Lord’s Heart
Is my onlyNectar-dream.
```Bliss and Truth
Are inseparable. ```A life of pleasure
IsA fleeting experience.
```Harmonise your thoughts

Our hope aliveTo reach our highest height.
```You want to sit in front of
Your purity-heart-shrine,But that is not enough —
God wants you to beThe purity-heart-shrine
Itself. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Gladdens us. ```God’s Justice-Eye
Frightens us. ```Each heart is
God’s blissful experience. ```Each mind is
God’s painful experience. ```A division-mind

Then pin your hopesOn God-Attention.
```Each life is full of
World-criticismAnd world-objection.
```I must dismantle
My mind’s strong holdOn my life.
```I do not want to be
A world-leader-mind. ```I wish to be
A world-lover-heart. ```The only thing that really matters
To GodIs my constant eagerness to please Him
In His own Way. ```God has heard
Many, many mind-storiesFrom me.
He now wants to hearOnly one heart-song
From me. ```I do not search for two things;
I search only for one thing —My Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart.
```Each day I pray to God
To be in chargeOf my every forward step.
```Each time I come to God
For the fulfilment of my desires,God smiles at me,
But my soul gets furious. ```I have so many ways to discard
All my troubles.Poor God —
I wonder if He has any way. ```When I go to God to explain,
He tells me:“I need no explanation.
I want only entertainment from you!” ```God caresses

```We pray to God
Only when we are caught by fearAnd anxiety.
God tells us that this is absolutelyThe wrong way.
He says: “My children, every day,Every hour, if not every minute,
You all must pray to Me for Protection,Protection and Protection.”
```Every day

```God’s Soul-Smiles
KnowHow to catch
My wandering mind. ```We do not value

```We value

```Each God-dream
Immensely increasesOur love of God.
```I love God,
Not because God loves me.I love God precisely because
That is the only thingThat gives me joy.
```God’s Smiles
Quite oftenFail to conquer
My heart. ```God’s Tears
Each and every timeSucceed in conquering
My heart. ```I have two very serious questions:
When I am happy,How is it that my Lord is not happy?
And when my Lord is happy,How is it that I am not happy?
Why, why, why? ```We are trying to perform
An impossible task:To consciously and deliberately reject
God’s Will. ```Our conscious and deliberate rejection
Of God’s WillIs the most dangerous crime.
```My God-readiness does not depend on
My God-meditation —It entirely depends on
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```Meditation only
Can silenceThe turbulent mind-waters.
```Alas, our world is
A peace-starved life. ```God-manifestation
Is forThe roaring lion-hearts.
```When aspiration ascends,
It is limitless climbing. ```The mind does not solve
Any problem —It only magnifies the problems.
```Not mind-action

```Aspiration is
A God-ascending flame. ```I may not be a progress-sprinter,
