```Our inner voice
Is always filledWith light and delight.
```The more we love God,
The sooner GodIs deeply attracted to us.
```Life is very short.
Either we give our lifeTo our stupidity
Or to our divinity. ```When I am pleased,
The world is not pleased.But when the world is pleased,
I am pleased.Why?
Because God has given meThe capacity
To remain always pleased. ```Self-indulgence
IsThe worst possible weakness.
```The mind is fond of living
Inside the dark caveOf doubt.
```God needs me urgently.
Therefore,I am running.
```God needs me privately.
Therefore,I am frightened to death.
```When I tell God
A confidential message,Alas, God tells
My confidential messageTo each and every one.
```When God tells me
A confidential message,I keep it a top secret.
Why?So that I can tell the world
I am the only oneTo know that secret
Directly from God. ```We blame others
When they doSomething wrong.
```God does not blame anybody.
Why?God knows that blame
Is absolutely useless.It does no good for anybody.
```My heart-sorrows
Open my lifeTo God’s Eye.
```God is action
Only whenI am aspiration.
```The unknown God
Awakens my heart. ```The known God
Directs my life. ```The mind
Likes to narrateDivision-stories.
```The heart
Loves only to singGod-songs.
```I have at last forgotten
All my desire-stories. ```We need only two things:
Our love of GodAnd God’s Love for us.
```Be careful of your anger-fire.
It can consume youAltogether.
```Adversity
Can be conqueredWith a great amount of faith.
```The mind and vital
Always come to GodWith bad and sad news.
```Hope is
My success-life. ```Promise is
My progress-heart. ```The emptying of myself
Is a must. ```The mind-sails
Have no peace.Restlessness
Is what they have. ```I am not alone.
A good many challengesAre fast approaching me.
```Everybody thinks that
He can be an exception,That all his wrong actions
Can be nullifiedEither by God
Or by somebody else. ```The beauty of Truth
And the fragrance of BlissAre blessing Mother Earth
At every moment. ```The desire-mind
Wants to separate the worldFor its own benefit.
```The aspiration-heart
Wants to unite the worldTo see God happy.
```Inspiration-forces
Give us a new world. ```Aspiration-forces
Give us a new life. ```The heart-room,
Unlike the mind-room,Is without boundaries.
```Heart-passengers
Always remain insideGod’s Heart-Boat.
```The heart can love
Not only unreservedlyBut also unconditionally.
```God does not appreciate
When we resign fromOur God-given duties.
```A God-dependence-life
Is bound to flourish. ```Meditation has the capacity
To transform ignorance-nightInto wisdom-light.
```God deeply appreciates
My life’s faith-journeyTowards the ultimate Goal.
```God equally treasures
My tears and smilesAt the same time.
```God does everything unconditionally
For us.How is it that we cannot do the same
For Him,Even once in a while?

Is fromGod’s sublime Creation.
```I please God’s Heart
By crying. ```I please God’s Eye
By smiling. ```I please God
By obeying. ```To our great disadvantage,
The mind makes all its decisionsWith the help of self-doubt.
```When God touches
Humanity’s heart,His Heart suffers terribly.
```When humanity touches
God’s Heart,Humanity swims in ecstasy-sea.
```When the soul guides us,
We are safe,For the soul receives guidance
Directly from God. ```The inner wisdom
Is too expensiveFor the outer education
To buy. ```I fly
In the inspiration-skyOn the eagerness-wings
Of my heart-bird. ```When God’s Eye beckons us,
We run. ```When God’s Heart beckons us,
We sprint. ```When God Himself beckons us,
We fly the fastest. ```Alas, I am so sad
That God’s most precious AdviceTo humanity
Is not working. ```God loves His playmate
Much moreThan His work-partner.
```Even in the abysmal abyss,
God’s Compassion-EyeIs still available.
```Inspiration
IsA rapid river-flow.
```Aspiration
IsA rising rocket-glow.
```An aspiration-heart
Is favouredBy God Himself.
```He who hesitates
Is a failure. ```He who waits
Is an even greater failure. ```If you do not love God
Deliberately,Then your mind and heart
Will be deportedTo the world of confusion.
```A purity-mind
ReceivesGod’s very special Blessings.
```Desire-thoughts
Spread like wildfire. ```May each inspiration and aspiration
Of our lifeBring us one step closer
To God. ```Human love
Eventually becomesPainful.
```Divine love
Always remainsBlissful.
```Mine is a life
Of God-centred heart. ```Alas,
Now the heart is imprisoned,But we must liberate it.
```We must never allow
Our sweet, God-loving dreamsTo fade away.
```We must kill all our temptations.
One temptation is enoughTo bring our consciousness down
Lower than the lowest. ```My soul always keeps
My aspiring heart away fromMy doubting mind.
```May my gratitude-heart
Every dayGrow stronger and richer
For my Lord to play with. ```Every day
My Lord gives my heartA special lesson:
How to soar high, higher, highest. ```God needs our help.
Alas, we do not needHis Help.
```Heaven does not need our help.
Alas, we are always eagerTo help Heaven.
```May my heart sing
A song of beautyEvery morning
For my Lord Supreme. ```May my heart sing
A song of peaceEvery evening
For my Lord Supreme. ```The daring mind
Comes to God,But God pays no attention
To the daring mind. ```Slowly and steadily,
The aspiring heart comesTo God.
God immediately blesses and embracesThe aspiring heart.
```I invoke God
To make my aspiration-heartAs beautiful as the moon.
```I invoke God
To make my dedication-lifeAs powerful as the sun.
```God does not allow
The doubting mindTo enter into
The all-loving heart-island. ```The advanced seekers
Always bask in the sunshineOf God’s Life-Beauty
And God’s Heart-Fragrance. ```The inner world
Not only needsBut also loves
The outer harmony. ```Each artist
Is a divine dreamer,Longing to appreciate
The beauty of Mother Nature. ```The obscurity

Future onenessWith God’s Will.
```My Lord tells me
That my sound-lifeIs not my real life.
```My real life
IsMy silence-ecstasy-flood.
```Each God-realised soul
Is a God-advocateOn earth.
```Self-doubt
Is the roadThat leads to
Self-destruction. ```Suspicion and depression
Are utterly dangerous. ```Doubt knows
How to confuseOur mind.

How to strangle othersIn the inner world.
```Have faith in God.
All your earth-suffering-storiesWill eventually fade away.
```Each good thought
Is a God-plantGrowing in our heart-garden.
```I know, I know,
My outer freedomHas completely bound
My entire being. ```Each time we smile
From our hearts,God blesses us
With tremendous Pride. ```I want my aspiration-heart
Never to be caughtOff-duty.
```My life is extremely heavy
With earth’s tears.Alas, how can I carry
Heaven’s smiles? ```My life

Even so, God’s ForgivenessIs infinite and eternal.
```My heart-songs
Are my life’s beautyAnd fragrance.
```When God sees

To remain silent. ```The fulness of living
Is found inSleepless self-giving.
```Any place
Is a good placeTo pray to God
And feel God’s Presence. ```When I walk along

My Lord examinesMy aspiration-sincerity.
```God is not bound by any rule.

To come to HimWith a gratitude-heart,
And not with a plenitude-mind. ```When we do not pray
And meditate,We just waste
Our precious time. ```Disobedience-punishment
IsExtremely powerful.
```God asks me to stay
All the timeIn His Blessing-Heart-Garden.

```God’s Justice-Light
Does not believe inVacations.
```My heart
All the time watchesGod’s Compassion-Eye
With utter amazement. ```The mind
Is terribly afraid ofGod-nearness.

```The right advice:
Do not expect anythingFrom the world.
```The right advice:
God is the only OneWhom we should love,
Serve and manifest. ```Without inner purity,

Not only participatesIn the race
But also offers the resultTo God.
```Your life-tree needs
Constant, conscious concernEvery day.
```I have looked beyond,
Only to see my tomorrow’sGod-pleasing heart
And God-fulfilling life. ```The victory
Of our ego-mindIs, indeed,
Hollow. ```Life without hope
Is nothing otherThan death.
```The Goal is fully blossomed
In the depths of our hearts,But our outer eyes
Fail to see it. ```God reads my thoughts;
I touch God’s Feet.It is all done at the same time.
```I do not allow
The extinctionOf my heart’s gratitude-flames.
```God loves to live
Everywhere,But He prefers the seeker’s
Devotion-life. ```God is not disturbed
By our imperfections.He is disturbed only when
We have an unwillingness-mind. ```The longer I pray,
The safer I amIn this world.
```The happiest and sunniest days

```A self-giver
Can never feel loneliness. ```Evil has no power
Over thoseWho have taken shelter
At the FeetOf the Lord Supreme.
```An occasional seeker
Is not a real seeker. ```God and I
Keep each other very busy —I with my devotion-tears
And God with His Compassion-Smiles. ```One can instantly
Be enlightenedIf the God-Touch is there.
```I must discard
My pride-hatredFrom my mind.
```He alone is pure

Constantly and only. ```A holy man is he
Whose heart is on earthAnd whose soul is in Heaven.
```Nothing is more important
Than peace,And only meditation
Can give this peace. ```Now that I have
Completely demolishedMy mind’s ignorance-walls,
The Light of the BeyondIs embracing me.
```Alas, alas,
Heaven and earthAre not yet fully united.
```Inside my heart
There is a very, very richAnd powerful bliss-fountain.
```My soul and I
Are on a divine pilgrimage.We shall be crowned
With tremendous successAnd progress.
```Self-interest means
A life of completeGod-failure.
```God is God’s
Immediate Blessings. ```Man is man’s
Eternal ingratitude. ```The compassion-room
And the forgiveness-roomAre side by side.
```When God knocks
At your heart-door,Stop everything!
Open the door immediately. ```For a sincere seeker,
There is no free time. ```I want everything
To remind meOf my Lord Supreme.
```I always see
Tears of CompassionFlowing from my Lord’s Eye.
```Earthly wealth is no match
For an iotaOf God-devotion.
```We need
Self-realisationAnd not self-oblivion.
```When we start our spiritual life
With tremendous faith,It is a very powerful start.
```God is sad
When I speak illOf others.
```God is amused
When I speak highlyOf myself.
```Never listen
To the doubting mind. ```Never care
For the strangling vital. ```Life without hope

Only when the aspiration-heartHas reached
The most sublime height. ```God tells me
Not to be frightenedWhen He reads my thoughts.

```Faith and hesitation
Never go together. ```Life is a gift
From the inner GodTo the outer God.
```God has a special way
To pleaseEach and every human being.
```It is high time for me
To put an end toMy ignorance-sleep.
```God tells me to read
Only my heart-books —Love, devotion, surrender
And self-giving-books. ```Alas,
I am still housingCountless devotion-heart-tears
Yet unshed. ```God listens to our wholehearted cries
And never to our quarter-heartedOr half-hearted
Or even three-fourths-hearted cries. ```God tells us that
We do not have to confessOur guilt to Him;
We just have to discontinueWhat we are doing wrong.
```Happiness-pretense
Most human beingsEnjoy.
```God and I have made
Two most illumining promisesTo each other.
```God’s Promise
Is to take me to HeavenAnd show me
His Infinity’s Heart-Beauty-Garden. ```My promise
Is to offer God’s Light and DelightTo the heart
Of each and every human being. ```What do I have?
I have one God-thirsty eyeAnd one God-hungry heart.
```Minimise
Your needsAnd maximise
Your self-giving life. ```In the spiritual life,
We never faceA dead end.
```If you do not carry with you
The tears of Mother Earth,Father Heaven will not accept you.
```The mind is a born
Disobedience-pride. ```If you want to succeed,
Then you must listenTo the dictates
Of your Inner PilotAlways.
```God’s Compassion-Eye
Never demotes us. ```God’s Compassion-Eye
Only promotes us —Our aspiration-cries.
```What is disobedience?
An ill-fated failure-life. ```God’s unrevealed Manifestations
Are far more in numberThan His revealed Manifestations.
```A God-emptiness-heart

Of the heartWe all need.
```Alas, we tell God
Only about our troubles.Do we ever try to feel

```The fragrance
Of the heart-roseIs beyond compare.
```God’s Forgiveness-Heart
Has not yet learntHow to rest.
```Alas,

Has taught meWhat real joy is.
```God does not believe in

For our divine Home,Then how are we going
To manifest GodHere on earth?
```Every seeker
Must bask in the sunshineOf his faith.
```We must follow,
First and foremost,The advice that we give
To others. ```A life without humour
Is, indeed, a dry bone. ```God gives our hearts
Every dayThe same lessons that He gave
To our soulsMany, many, many years ago.
```Be always vigilant.
God can arriveAt any hour of the day
Or any hour of the night. ```An aspiration-heart
Is the beautyOf a sweetness-blossom.
```Neither inspiration
Nor aspirationWill come to us
On its own. ```My heart has so much
To give humanity,But my mind
Has nothing to give. ```Never answer
Ignorance-calls. ```Alas,

Are everywhere,But God-oriented people,
Where are they?Where are they?

LovesEarth-speciality.

LovesGod-proximity.

In your self-conquest-worldAnd not in your self-interest-world.
```Everything
That the mind hasIs second-hand.
```The heart
Has and isGod’s first-hand News.

Reluctantly plays withGod’s Compassion-Eye.

Why do I haveA God-unwillingness-mind?
```Unlike the outer beauty,
The inner beautyNever ages.
```A devotion-heart
Has a private keyTo open up
God’s Heart-Door. ```There are countless hearts,
But only very fewHave opened themselves
To God’s Compassion-Eye. ```Every morning
God comes to meTo purify my mind
And strengthen my heart. ```Every morning
God helps meIncrease my speed
To my Destination. ```In the spiritual life,
Lethargy is nothing short ofA crime.
```My morning heart-prayers
Give GodTremendous joy.
```First I bow,
Then I kneel,Finally I prostrate myself
At my Lord’s Feet. ```No more desire-game.
I have played enough. ```I call it obedience,
But my Lord calls itOur oneness-recognition.
```Every day
My Lord Supreme,Out of His infinite Bounty,
Allows me to spend more timeIn His Heart-Garden.
