Every single day
I wish to be hallowedBy kissing the dust
Of my Lord’sForgiveness-Feet.
```Every single day
I must cry and cryFor a God-fulfilment-heart.
```The God-realisation-pinnacle-height
Is within the reachOf every sincere seeker.
```Every morning when I pray,
I see my heart-skySurrounded by rainbows.
```If you go back
To your seven-year-old age,You will see how charming,
How beautiful and how satisfyingYour life has become
In every possible way. ```Prepare yourself always
For the CallOf the Inner Pilot Supreme.
```There is only one immediate question:
Where is God?The immediate answer is:
God is whereMy heart’s love-breath is.
```God blessingfully asks
Our aspiration-heartsTo watch
His world-transformation-Dreams. ```Those who consciously and prayerfully
Come within the radiusOf God’s Will
Will be not only protected,But also illumined.
```We can appreciate God
With our eyes,We can appreciate God
With our hearts,But it is only when
We appreciate GodOn our knees
That we can be fully satisfied. ```May my aspiration-heart
At every momentSing like the birds
That do not care for appreciationAnd admiration.
```Our hearts bloom and blossom
Most beautifullyWhen we unreservedly value
Others’ contributionTowards the perfection of the world.
```God writes
Every God-lover’s biographyWith His Compassion-Eye-Tears.
```A God-doubt-drummer
Is inconscienceWithin and without.
```Detachment is
Faith in GodIn a very special way.
```The outer history
Is based uponIndividual opinion.
```The inner history
Is founded uponThe acceptance of God’s Will
In God’s own Way. ```There was a time
When God showed meThe short success-road
In my outer life. ```God is showing me now
The never-ending progress-roadIn my inner life.
```Attachment is a very strong power.
It contaminates anythingThat it touches.
```When I climb up
My mind-hill,I become extremely proud of
My achievement. ```When I climb up
My aspiration-mountain,God’s Pride in me
Knows no bounds. ```Man’s hope
IsSweeter than the sweetest.
```God’s Hope
IsMightier than the mightiest.
```Man’s hope
Flies and fliesIn the sky.
```God’s Hope
Sings, dances and marchesAlong His Eternity’s Road.
```Indulgence is disaster.
Unfortunately, we realise itToo late.
```So often we tell God
What to do.To our greatest surprise,
God is unimaginably obedient. ```Do not be afraid of
Tomorrow’s light.Tomorrow’s light will clear
Your mind-jungleAnd beautify your heart-garden.
```I see no difference
Between my self-doubtAnd my helplessness-life.
```How I wish I could spend
My aspiration-lifeBetween my gratitude-heart
And God’s Compassion-Eye. ```My heart’s aspiration-intensity
Is my life’sGod-realisation-certainty.
```If you want real freedom,
The freedom of the soul,Then dive deep within.
```For a desiring mind
To be free of fearIs an impossible task.
```God wants my heart
To be a self-giverAnd not a world-possessor.
```In the spiritual life,
UnwillingnessIs a dangerous enemy.
```Man tells God,
“Perhaps You do notUnderstand me.”
```God tells man,
“I shall understand youOnly when you really need Me.”
```Every day my Lord Supreme
Gives me the opportunityTo walk along a never-ending
Progress-satisfaction-road. ```We must develop a new way
Of looking at thingsTo enjoy
The beauty of newnessAnd to become
The fragrance of fulness. ```When the desire-bird
Tries to fly forward,It flies backward.
```The aspiration-bird
Flies only forward.While flying forward,
It sees the beckoning HandsOf God.
```The aspiring heart
Wants to climbAnd reach Heaven.
```The desiring mind
Wants not only to reachHeaven,
But to go beyond —Without climbing.
```Not where could I go,
But where should I go,If not only to my
Lord Supreme? ```To sanctify my life,
I must crucifyMy ego-king-mind
First. ```Be careful of
Your world-doubting mind!It can easily betray you
As well. ```God’s dear son
IsSincerity.
```God’s favourite son
IsPurity.
```God’s perfect son
IsDivinity.
```Any action
Without devotionIs an emptiness-failure.
```Insecurity
Has the capacityTo successfully hide pride.
```An emancipation-life
Is the result of God’sUnconditional Compassion-Eye.
```A divine surrender
IsA supreme freedom.
```No, not he,
But God’s Compassion-EyeHas snapped
His desire-attachment-life. ```To surrender unconditionally
Is to swim acrossThe Ocean of Delight.
```A positive determination
Can easily keep us awayFrom the despair-snare.
```Do we actually sleep?
No, we just roam in our mind’sDesire-jungle.
```God’s Smile
Is myHeart-garden.
```God’s Eye
Is myHeart-gardener.
```O seeker,
God wants to be rebornIn your heart-garden.
This time do not resist! ```My mind is not happy
When it has to touchGod’s Feet.
It is happy only whenIt can touch God’s Head and Hands.
```My heart is happy only when
It can touch, feel and becomeThe dust of God’s Feet.
```May my God-worshipping devotion
Not look back —Even for a fleeting second.
```My Lord, do lead me
From my own fearful shadowsTo Your blessingful Light.
```Each gratitude-song
Is a new God-growing plantOn earth.
```God always keeps
My prayer-lifeAnd
My meditation-lifeUnder His golden Canopy.
```God wants me only
To pray and meditate.He will gladly
Do the broadcasting. ```For my joy and satisfaction,
I must close downMy unwillingness-mind-business.
Because of it I have becomeA helpless
Peace-bliss-satisfaction-beggar. ```No more self-doubt-clouds
Can wrapMy morning prayer-hour.
```God lovingly comes down
To share His SmileWith man.
```Man fearfully goes up
To share his tearsWith God.
```Man is a pendulum
Between his soul-smilesAnd his heart-tears.
```Devotion
Is the secret keyFor God-realisation-acceleration.
```The smiles of my soul
Tell meThat my Lord Supreme
Is sleeplesslyWith me.
```The tears of my heart
Tell meThat my Beloved Supreme
Is breathlesslyFor me.
```A constantly climbing
Aspiration-heartI need.
```A constantly spreading
Dedication-lifeI need.
```When my heart becomes
Only a God-devotion-choice,My life becomes
A sweetness-voice. ```Definitely
God has given usHis own Boat,
And that Boat will not arrive emptyAt the Golden Shore.
```Once upon a time,
My life was light-flooded,Delight-flooded
And divinity-flooded.But now those days
Are buried in oblivion.Alas, alas!
```As long as you are walking along
The spirituality-road,Feel that you are doing
Absolutely the right thing. ```Go forward!
Kick aside the pastThat gave you self-doubt
And God-doubt. ```Go forward!
Go forward with the foundationOf the past
That gave you simplicity,Sincerity, humility and purity.
```Alas, instead of conquering
Your insecurity, impurityAnd pride,
You have taken them as your braveAnd faithful soldiers
To fight for you. ```Anything the past taught you
That is good, divine, illuminingAnd fulfilling,
Bring back and treasure. ```If you feel the spiritual life
Was a great mistake,Remember, there is a wide, vast
And open worldWhere you can enjoy yourself once more
In your own way. ```Multiply, multiply and multiply
The soulfulness and fruitfulnessOf your golden past.
```Forget, forget and forget —
The sooner the better —The sadness
Of your past failure-life. ```There is not a single day
When spiritual MastersDo not use occult power
In the inner worldFor the betterment and enlightenment
Of mankind. ```Thousands of years ago
The spiritual figuresOf the hoary past
Tried to transform the world.They did not fully succeed.
Now it is your supreme task.It is your time to continue the game
And complete the gameMost gloriously.
```A God-worshipping prayer-song
Of the Mother EarthImmensely increases the beauty,
Fragrance and delightOf the Father Heaven.
```Instead of making friends with
The goddess of sleep,Make friends with
The god of dynamismTo expedite the world’s
Godward journey. ```When I meditate
Deep in the inmost recessesOf my heart,
God’s divine Joy and His supreme PrideKnow no bounds.
```When a spiritual Master meditates,
Does humanity knowWhere his consciousness is?
Will humanity ever knowWhat he is doing
For the betterment of humanity?No, never!
```Even in the hustle and bustle of life,
A spiritual Master has the capacityTo converse
With the Absolute Lord SupremeFor the full manifestation of His Light
Here on earth. ```There was a time
When God’s Way was the only wayFor you.
Now you have ten ways.Alas, alas, what has become
Of you? ```God is begging and begging us
To go back to our childhood lifeWhen we were totally ignorant
Of doubt, suspicion, negativityAnd cynicism.
```Pray and meditate,
Meditate and prayIf you want to go
Happily and proudlyTo any corner
Of the delight-flooded Heaven. ```No more fear and doubt
For him who has becomeA conscious and self-giving instrument
Of God’s Will. ```An Avatar is He in whose inner life
God enjoysHis universal Sweetness
And His transcendental Newness. ```Self-discovery makes you one
With the joy of God the CreatorAnd with the sorrow of God the creation.
```Only when I dive deep within,
I see that my Lord’s Compassion-EyeIs the beauty
Of an ever-increasing Infinity. ```How I wish I could write
My heart-diaryWith my God-invocation-tears.
```Every morning
I till my aspiration-ground-lifeWith my devotion-heart-plough.
```My self-giving life to God,
To please God in His own Way,Never needs ceremonies.
```My Lord Supreme,
Out of Your infinite Bounty,You are holding my life’s
Surrender-breathClose-closer-closest
To Your Heart. ```May my life-boat every day
Ply betweenMy obedience-mind-shore
AndMy gratitude-heart-shore.
```One thing that is essential
On any spiritual pathIs perseverance.
```I do not allow anybody
To intimidateMy determination.
```I do not allow anybody
To give a discourseOn self-indulgence.
```Disobedience is terribly afraid
Of one thing:Catastrophe.
```God read my negativity-mind.
ThereforeHe did not care
To bless my mind. ```God read my surrender-heart.
ThereforeHe was all eager
To bless my heart. ```When I am my gratitude-heart,
God blesses meWith His amplitude-Smiles.
```When divided minds
Become united,God immediately sheds
Tears of delight. ```The title of his mind’s
Frustration-lecture:I cannot go on this way
Anymore. ```The Master’s body
May not be everywhere,But his blessingful eyes
Are everywhere. ```God tells me
That if I want to remainA choice instrument of His,
Then He will not allow me to enjoyAny prayer or meditation-vacation.
```A suspicion-mind
Will never feelThe real happiness
Of life. ```What is suspicion,
If not a voracious devourerOf God’s Compassion-Light?
```O my mind,
Do not try to explain the truth.You will gain nothing.
```Only a genuine God-seeker
Can compel destinyTo surrender.
```I always keep
My gratitude-heart-doorWide open.
```Is there any hour,
Any minute, any secondWhen God’s Compassion-Eye-Feast
Is not needed by humanity? ```I have been living for years
On my hope-beautyAnd on my promise-fragrance.
```The mind that does not want
To understand,The heart that does not want
To love,The life that does not want
To careWill never be able to arrive
At the Golden Shore. ```The satisfaction of life divine
Lives far beyondThe horizon.
```Because of a devotee’s immense
And intense love,God manifests Himself on earth.
```The unaspiring mind
Can never graspThe Infinite.
```The aspiring heart
Can not only graspBut also clasp
The Infinite. ```A life of humility
Is the abodeOf teeming virtues.
```Every day I live in the heart
Of my life’sTransformation-hope.
```The spiritual Masters
Descend on earth’s stageTo remove all its miseries.
```May my heart be strengthened
Every dayBy the inner assurance
That I shall definitely realise GodIn this lifetime.
```The seeker’s purity-heart
Is his life’sGod-satisfaction-joy.
```God’s Compassion-flooded Eye
Is beckoning me.I cannot and I shall not fail.
```My only desire
WasTo realise God.
```My only desire
IsTo become another God.
```My only desire
Will beTo make every human being on earth
Realise God. ```There was a time
When he was drowningIn worldliness.
Now he is desperately longingFor aloofness.
```There shall come a day
When he will realise thatNeither worldliness nor aloofness
Can make him truly happy.To be happy, what he needs
Is a oneness-heart. ```The real seeker
Does not want to knowWhat tomorrow will bring him.
He is only concerned about one thing:What he can do to heighten
The standard of humanity. ```God is fond of those
Who sincerelyLove Him.
```God is more fond of those
Who sincerely and prayerfullyLove Him.
```God is most fond of those
Who sincerely, prayerfullyAnd self-givingly
Love Him. ```Faith is what tells me
That God is lovable, approachableAnd attainable.
```Do you think that God
Will indefinitely wait for youIn the background
Of your desire-life?No, never!
```When inspiration-tide ebbs,
No human beingCan achieve anything laudable.
```When you are grounded
In the God-obedience-soil,Then there is nothing
That you cannot accomplish. ```My Lord,
May I have the capacityTo congratulate
Each and every human beingOn their each and every success,
No matter how trivial it is? ```O seeker,
Bring back your devotionOnce more
To increase the beauty and lightOf your lacklustre heart.
```My seeker-friend,
How can you succeedIn your outer life
And how can you proceedIn your inner life
If you do not keepOur Lord Beloved Supreme
All the time in mind? ```We are rank fools
If we always takeGod’s Compassion-Flood
For granted. ```How is it that
We do not take advantageOf our wisdom:
On our aspiration-road,There is no speed-limit?
```Our inner hunger
Can be satisfiedOnly by God’s Satisfaction-Smile.
```I must bring back
My prayer-heartAnd
My aspiration-breathTo be once more
A choice instrumentOf my Lord Supreme.
```O my mind,
How is it that youDo not believe me
When I tell youThat you were born
To do something divinely greatFor God?
```O my heart,
It pains me deeplyWhen you do not see
Eye to eye with me:You were born to do something
Supremely goodFor the betterment
Of the entire world. ```Do you want to be happy,
Really happy?Then just think
Of your outer life less,A little less,
And live more,A little more,
In your inner life. ```Fate is not indomitable,
But faith is —Also indispensable.
```Give up once and for all
Treasuring ignorance.To your great surprise,
Ignorance will alsoDo the same.
```My eyes tell me
That my obstaclesOn the way
Are insurmountable. ```My heart tells me
That on the wayThere is no obstacle
That cannot be bravely challengedAnd defied.
```With my book-knowledge,
I may go to the other endOf the world.
```With my heart-wisdom,
I can unmistakably bringThe whole world to me,
Plus its Creator. ```If I really obey God’s Will,
Then the whole worldWill one day gladly approve
Of my inner and outer actions,Plus derive benefit from them.
```Alas, I cannot imagine
How my own creation-thoughtsCan stand in my way
All the timeWhen I prayerfully and soulfully
Make attempts to arriveAt God’s Heart-Garden-Gate.
```I prayerfully gave my heart
To God.God immediately said to me:
“Claim My Love as your ownAs much as you want to.”
```I reluctantly gave my mind
To God.God said to me:
“I am gladly accepting you,My child, to tame you
And to please Me eventuallyIn My own Way.”
```If your aspiration-heart
Is wanting in tears,How can you even imagine
Running towards God? ```What is your heart for,
If it is not solely meantTo love God the Creator?
```What is your life for,
If it is not solely meantTo serve God the creation?
```Awaken your mind
To appreciate sincerelyThe magnificent beauty
Of the world. ```Widen your heart
To include the four cornersOf the globe
In your own life. ```O my mind,
How do you sayThat you have love
In abundant measure,When you do not have even an iota
Of forgiveness-capacity in you? ```Do I love God enough?
According to God,I do.
But my heart says:“Definitely not!”
```The outer beauty
Grows old,But the inner beauty
Has made friendsWith Immortality.
```Unlike the outer hero,
The inner heroIs always supremely humble.
```We must defy the buffets
Of world-suspicionIf we want to offer
Something sublimely goodTo humanity.
```I do not want
The hour of power,But the love
Of the entire day. ```Adamantine will-power
Is what we needIf we really want to please God
In His own Way. ```The depression of the mind
Has the power to killAll our divine virtues.
```Not my sorrowful eyes,
But my tearful heartHas freed me
From my mind-prison. ```After having a long, beautiful
And soulful meditation,When I go to sleep,
My Inner Pilot watches meWith utmost Compassion-Light-Delight.
```O pleasure-enjoyer,
Can you not seeThe quagmire of the mind
Is chasing you? ```Each prayerful and soulful moment
Embodies Eternity’s tearsAnd Infinity’s smiles.
```I need a heart
That will not only make me see,But also make me become
Divinity’s Reality. ```Awake! Awake!
O my body, awake!You know your soul
Is waiting for youWith a morning rose
To greet you. ```God wants me to walk only
On my heart-road,Which He Himself has paved.
```What I need is
A life-evolutionAnd not
A mind-revolution. ```My Lord,
I may pray to You for retirementFrom my earthly activities,
But I shall never, never pray to YouFor my heart’s gratitude-retirement.
```Alas, how stupid we are!
We cannot appreciateThe illumination-music
Of the Universal Silence. ```May my mind
Every daySet new records
In the God-given sincerity-contest. ```May my heart
Every daySet new records
In the God-given purity-contest. ```May my life
Every daySet new records
In the God-given surrender-contest. ```Everything we desperately need
In the outer lifeBreathes secretly
In our inner life. ```A seeker without a lofty vision
Is in no way better thanAn ordinary human being.
```A seeker with a supreme vision
Is, indeed,A planetary citizen
Of the world. ```If my heart becomes
A fountain of goodness,Then my mind
Will invariably becomeA mountain of greatness.
```Today I call it
My heart-aspiration.Tomorrow that very thing
I shall callMy God-possession-satisfaction.
```There is only one journey —
The perpetualGod-fulfilment-journey.
```If the outer prosperity
Is not founded uponThe inner divinity,
Then the outer prosperityIs nothing short of
An added burdenIn the spiritual life.
```The more I expand
My endurance-life,The more I receive from God
His Assurance-DelightIn my self-discovery.
```God accepts our blunders
Unconditionally,But our mind enjoys a proud hesitation
In believing it. ```My Lord Supreme tells me
That what I needIs faith-expansion
And not faith-expression,Not to speak of faith-demonstration.
```When we tell God
That we love Him only,God in silence speaks:
“A real joke.” ```Since God is omnipresent,
Omniscient and omnipotent,Can He not take care of you?
He easily can.But you have to give Him the chance.
```When God tells us
That He always thinks of us,The divine in us says,
“It is absolutely true.”The human in us says,
“Possible.”The animal in us says,
“Ridiculous, absurd.” ```If we love God only,
Then our progress will definitely beFaster than the fastest,
Far beyond our imagination’s flight. ```True, we may have fear, doubt,
Jealousy, insecurity and ignorance,But one thing we must never forget:
Inside all our imperfectionsThe Compassion-Eye
Of our Lord Supreme resides. ```O truth-seeker and God-lover,
Always remember:What your heart needs
Is God’s Love.What your life needs
Is God’s Compassion. ```We invariably see
A yawning gulfWhen we compare
Your molehill-lifeWith your Himaloy-high
Preachings. ```If we really love God only,
We will have no timeTo look around to see
Who is better and who is worse. ```If we really love God only,
Then we shall work only for GodIn our aspiration-world
And in our dedication-world,And our only desire
Will be to please GodIn God’s own Way.
```Each spiritual Master can write down
Not thousands, but millions of pagesOf his heart-crying
And soul-smiling stories. ```The inner life of each
God-realised soulGod’s own Heart-Breath treasures.
```God the Beggar
Comes to my stupidity-mind.God the Emperor
Invites my wisdom-heart. ```No matter what you have done
For the world,Humanity will say:
“Nothing. You have done nothing.We expected much, much, much more
From you.” ```Even if you have not finished
God’s task,God will say: “My child,
You have done infinitely moreThan I expected.”
```To deliberately deceive your Master
Is to becomeA distasteful disgrace-life.
```While you are praying,
While you are meditating,You are bound to get God-Messages,
Once you become totally consciousOf your inner life.
```Your soul is dreaming, dreaming
And dreamingTo give you God-Messages.
But alas,How often you turn a deaf ear!
```You may not believe it,
But it is absolutely trueThat you are afraid of
Your soul’s messages.You feel your soul’s messages
Will be impossible for you to executeHere on earth.
```Is there anybody on earth
Who can sayThat he has never disobeyed
His soul’s will? ```O my mind,
Because you are heartless,You have lost everyone,
Including God,The Fountain-Delight.
```As long as you have embarrassment,
Hatred and fear in your nature,God-realisation will remain
A far cry. ```You may think that your Master
Is strict, very strict,But just enter into the inner world.
Then what will you see?You will see that God
Is infinitely stricterWith your Master.
```A God-realised soul receives
God’s sleepless, thunderous CommandWith divine pride.
```My Lord, do make me
Always worthyOf Your Commands and Demands.
```I know, I know,
My Lord’s Command is floodedWith Affection,
Sweetness and Fondness. ```My Lord Supreme
Never asks me,“My child,
Do you think you can?”He always tells me,
“Just do it!” ```On very rare occasions,
When I ask my Lord Supreme,“My Lord, is it Your Request?”
He immediately tells me,“No, My son,
This is My Command Absolute.” ```When you regularly practise
Clever deceptions,Your Master becomes
A helpless victimTo your ruthless torture.
```When you enter into
God’s Heart-Temple,What does God do?
He does only one thing:He begs you and begs you
Only to smile. ```Believe me, O seeker,
When you smile,All your negativity-poison disappears
In the twinkling of an eye. ```Believe me, O seeker,
When you give a soulful smile to God,You get the strength of ten lions,
Roaring and roaring to devourYour depression-frustration.
```God tells us that when we do not
Prayerfully and soulfully smileAt Him,
Then we are third-classOr even no-class seekers.
But when we give Him a prayerfulAnd soulful smile,
Then immediately we becomeHis first-class disciples.
```O vital, just look in the mirror
And smile and smile and smile.This is the spiritually sick seeker’s
Best medicine. ```You may think that you do not have
An iota of haughtiness.Just dive deep within.
To your deep surprise,You will see haughtiness in your mind
In abundant measure. ```When you smile and smile
In all sincerity,Soulfully and prayerfully,
Lo and behold,Your haughtiness has disappeared.
```In how many ways
You have exploitedThe compassion-flooded heart
Of your Master,God alone knows!
```You have no idea
How easily and how effectivelyYou can get rid of your worst foe:
Despair.Smile, prayerfully smile,
Smile, soulfully smile,Smile, self-givingly smile.
```If your smile comes from
The very depthOf your aspiration-heart,
Then definitely it can devourAll the negativity of your mind.
```I assure you,
If you think you haveA number one enemy,
Then it is your prideAnd nothing else.
```Look at your pride.
It has made you utterly helpless.When you say something
In a positive way,Out of nowhere pride appears.
When you say somethingIn a negative way,
Again out of nowhere pride appears.Alas, how helpless you are.
```It is only our prayers and meditations
That can tame the circus animalsOf our life:
Pride and haughtiness. ```O seeker,
Whether you are first-classOr third-class,
Keep pride always underYour immediate control.
```Proudly you quote
From the ancient scriptures.Secretly you vote
For ignorance-night. ```Is there anybody on earth
Who is not inwardly,If not outwardly proud of his existence?
Either negativelyHe is proud of his existence,
Or positivelyHe is proud of his existence.
```My Lord Supreme
Has repeatedly told meThat of all our undivine qualities,
Our pride is undoubtedly and absolutelyThe worst.
```Alas, instead of playing
The oneness-heart-game,We enjoy playing daily
Either the division-gameOr the comparison-game.
```How can we smash our pride,
How?We can smash our pride
When we see and feel deep withinThe existence of beauty’s
Oneness-heart-garden. ```If you express your pride
In season and out of season —How great you are, how good you are —
To me, you are enjoying foolishlyA slow poison.
```Soulful, devotional singing
Is, indeed, a part of our deepAnd real meditation.
```The more we misuse and enjoy
Our outer freedom,The sooner we dig our own graves.
```O seeker,
Always take your spiritual lifeWith utmost seriousness.
If not, God’s Golden BoatIs not meant for you.
```May I become
The delightOf my God-surrender-hour.
```Right now
God does not expect from meA perfection-life.
He expects from meOnly an aspiration-heart.
```When our life’s enthusiasm dies,
The blue bird in our heart-skyStops flying.
```O gossip-spreading mind,
Your untold punishment-daysAre fast approaching.
```To me,
An unwillingness-mindIs, indeed,
A ruthless torture. ```Each day
We can have a new heartWith God-satisfying melodies.
```Heaven wants peace and has peace.
Earth thinksIt can manage somehow
Without peace. ```What does ego
Actually want?It wants only praise
And adulation —Nothing else.
```God’s Compassion-Eye
And my heart-tearsLive together.
```Eventually,
Somehow God’s Justice-LightCatches us.
```May my aspiration-heart-door
Remain openTo all God-children
All the time. ```When I pray,
My dear Lord SupremeIs within my earshot.
```When I meditate,
My sweet Lord SupremeIs within my eyeshot.
```When I desire,
My Lord SupremeIs nowhere to be heard
And nowhere to be seen. ```The souls that are speeding towards
God-manifestationAre the chosen God-representatives
On earth. ```Man betrays God
Again and again.Yet God gives man
Chance after chanceTo give up his betrayal-nature.
```Negativity comes
From the darkness-mindAnd returns also
To the darkness-mind. ```The excuses
Of our clever mindCan never satisfy God.
```My Lord,
I do not want to knowThe Heights of Your Will
AndThe Depths of Your Will.
I just would like to be oneWith Your Will.
```Each soul has
A special fragrance-lightTo inundate the aspiration-world.
```May my mind’s willingness
And my heart’s eagernessForever remain invincible.
```I am not only hopeful,
But also confidentThat one day
God’s Light divineWill illumine my mind-jungle
At His choice Hour. ```No power on earth
Can dare to challengeGod’s Compassion-Fulfilment-Hour.
```When I am in
A divine consciousness,I see and feel
That even God’s Justice-Light-MindIs sweeter than the sweetest.
```In each and every seeker’s life,
Doubt-demolitionIs of utmost necessity.
```O stupid human mind,
Opportunity is not for parade,But to take full advantage of.
```If your heart swims
In the sea of devotion,Then your mind cannot have
A dull moment. ```O my mind,
Let us sincerely inspireEach other
At every moment. ```O my heart,
Let us soulfully aspire togetherFor God-realisation.
```O my life,
Let us self-givinglyServe God together.
```When God comes and knocks
At your heart-door,Your hesitation is the beginning
Of your self-destruction. ```My heart tells my mind
That it most sincerelyLoves my mind.
But my mindNever believes.
```My heart lovingly tells my mind
A few inspiring things.But my mind
Immediately rejects. ```The money-hungry mind
AndThe God-hungry heart
Remain perfect strangersTo each other.
```God values the smile-beauty
Of our oneness-heartMore than we can ever imagine.
```Each good thought
Is, indeed, a special blessingFrom Heaven.
```Do not escape
The mind’s battlefield.God wants you to be
The victor supreme. ```God needs
My immediate availability,And not my capacity.
```God does not need
My mind’s self-styledRich capacities.
```To fear God’s Eye
Is to become a memberOf the mind’s stupidity-club.
```I sincerely welcome humiliation,
If neededFor my perfection-life.
```O seeker,

All your mind-barriers. ```The more I am sincere,
The clearer it becomes to meThat I speak of God
For my own glorificationAnd not
For God’s GlorificationAnd Satisfaction.
```When we follow
Our inner guidance,We truly feel
The Breath of God’s Love. ```Surrender to God’s Will.
God will transformYour loneliness

Long before death knocksAt our life-door.
```When I sail with my Lord Supreme
In His Boat,In a twinkling we vanish
Into His Infinity’s Light. ```My Lord,
I have only one prayer:May my surrender-beginning
Know no end. ```Alas,

```My Lord Supreme,

Earthly demandsAnd Heavenly commands.
```Alas!

Lethargy’s lifeless life. ```Every day
My Lord Supreme advises meTo devour His Light
To lose my ignorance-weight. ```Each time I self-givingly serve
God the creation,God the Creator asks
The angels of delightTo dance for me.
```Self-improvement
And self-aggrandisementAre two perfect strangers.
```You can be a perfect instrument

Therefore, I have postponedSo many times

Who I am —Not what I have
And not what I give. ```When you think of God,
Do not thinkOf all His attributes.
Just think of His Compassion-Eye. ```When you pray to God,
Do not think of all the questionsThat you have.
Just ask yourself one question:“Am I ready?”
```True disciples need not depend
On their Master’s outer achievements,But they must depend
On their heart-connections. ```The name of their spiritual Master
Is enough for his true disciples.What he did or achieved in the outer life
Can give them outer happiness,But not God-realisation.
```It is also true that
A spiritual Master’s achievementsAre his disciples’ inspiring
And fulfilling opportunitiesTo love God the Creator
And serve God the creation. ```God wants the spiritual Master to create.
God wants his disciples to lovingly offerHis creation to the world.

And the depth of your meditationGive you the capacity to claim God
Unmistakably as your own, very own. ```For centuries and centuries
And centuriesYou did not care consciously

Is delaying your God-realisation. ```God cannot imagine how real seekers
Can take sabbatical leaveFrom the spiritual life.
```A seeker’s vacation from the Supreme

Is always misleading? ```If our aspiration-heart
Is always on timeTo please God in His own Way,
Then God-realisation has to beWithin our easy reach.
```The world-transformation-capacity
Lives insideThe willingness-intensity.
```O God-criticising mind,
Be careful.O God-loving heart,
Be blissful. ```I fly and fly in happiness-sky
When God Himself plays the roleOf my life’s decision-maker.
```Realise God.
Claim once again that you areHis supremely chosen child.
```May my life’s hope-star
And my heart’s promise-starSucceed in manifesting
My Lord SupremeHere on earth.
```When we aspire most intensely,
We feed all the world-souls,Who value us infinitely more
Than even we can dare to imagine. ```God tells me that I have done
Many good things for Him.Therefore, He wants to give me
A special award.I say to God, “Please give me
Only this award:Constant obedience-achievement-award.”
```My inspiration-friend tells me
To wake up.My aspiration-friend tells me
To start flying.My dedication-friend tells me
To never stop singingGod’s Victory-Songs.
```When I brought prayer
Back into my life,God gave me His most beautiful
And most powerful Smile. ```When I brought meditation
Back into my life,God did not wait, even for
A fleeting second,To come and embrace me
With His greatest Satisfaction. ```Mind-training
Gives us strengthIndomitable.
```Heart-training
Gives us peaceInfinite.
