Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 6

5001

```

My Lord,

You do not have to knock

At my heart’s door.

Just come in!

I shall embrace Your Feet

Immediately. ```

5002

```

My Lord,

You always tell me

That You love me dearly.

If so, give me the joy

Of serving You sleeplessly.

```

5003

```

Please, my Lord, please,

Do not delay anymore

In giving me

A mind that will adore You,

A heart that will love You

And

A life that will serve You

Unreservedly. ```

5004

```

I am saved,

My life is saved

Because God’s Compassion-Hands

Are unconditionally

Holding us taut.

```

5005

```

How charming it looks

When the tears of my heart

And the smiles of my soul

Play hide-and-seek. ```

5006

```

God, not only happily

But also proudly,

Counts my heart-happiness-baby-steps

Towards Him. ```

5007

```

With my heart’s tears

My Lord Supreme is building

A rainbow-bridge

Between earth and Heaven. ```

5008

```

When God wants us

To fly towards Him,

He blesses us

With His Wisdom-Light-Wings. ```

5009

```

My Lord,

You are the only reason

I live on earth,

Believe it or not. ```

5010

```

My Lord, Your Feet embody

Not only all the things

That I believe in,

But also all the things

That I love.

```

5011

```

My Lord, I feel my existence

Is real and true

Only when I place

My gratitude-heart-garland

At Your Feet.

```

5012

```

My Lord,

You do not have to call me.

Just allow me only to think of You.

The very thought of Your Heart

Thrills my entire being

With delight. ```

5013

```

We must brave and conquer

The inevitable,

So that no darkness-night

Can prevail over us. ```

5014

```

In the unaspiring life,

Ambition is

Of supreme importance.

```

5015

```

In the aspiring heart,

Ambition is

Nothing short of self-destruction.

```

5016

```

We actually do not compromise.

We just cleverly pretend

To compromise.

```

5017

```

No inner peace,

No outer detachment.

Never.

```

5018

```

To judge others

Is to sadden

God’s all-loving Heart.

```

5019

```

My God-surrender-heart

My world-oneness-light.

```

5020

```

To my extreme delight,

I have received

The aspiration-heart-award

From God. ```

5021

```

Alas,

I have no idea

If ever I shall receive

My transformation-life-award

From God.

```

5022

```

Every day

God wants my life to be

A cheerful and self-giving server.

```

5023

```

O my mind,

When are you going to discard

Your competition-compulsion-desire-life?

```

5024

```

Within

A purity-heart.

Without

Two beauty-eyes. ```

5025

```

I get tremendous joy

By telling the world

That God does not love me.

```

5026

```

My soul tells the world

That my soul’s only motto is:

“God for God’s sake.”

```

5027

```

God the Compassion teaches us

Sleeplessly

How to love the world

Unconditionally. ```

5028

```

Man the frustration

Deliberately

Does not want

Illumination. ```

5029

```

He who intensely longs

For God’s Compassion-Light

Is enormously fortunate.

```

5030

```

Do you really love God?

Then the moment I utter

The Name of God,

You must show me

Your heart’s uncontrollable thrill.

```

5031

```

What has ignorance-night

Done to me?

It has at once

Sumptuously fed my ego

And starved my humility

To death. ```

5032

```

My Lord,

Your Heart-Beauty’s Eye

Sweetly awakens my heart

To fulfil You in my life. ```

5033

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Called me.

My aspiration-heart

Immediately answered. ```

5034

```

What is disobedience?

Disobedience is

My conscious, deliberate

And malicious

God-separation-pleasure.

```

5035

```

What is my immortality,

If not my permanent residence

Inside God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Satisfaction-Heart? ```

5036

```

Only my gratitude-heart knows

In how many ways

My Lord wants to make me happy

And keep me happy. ```

5037

```

The sole purpose

Of my desire-life

Is to unmistakably possess God.

```

5038

```

The sole purpose

Of my aspiration-heart

Is to devotedly become

God’s cheerful Choice. ```

5039

```

The human in me

Wants God

To smile at me only

And constantly. ```

5040

```

The divine in me

Wishes God

To smile at His own creation

Lovingly, blessingfully

And ceaselessly.

```

5041

```

If you can remain

All the time

Inside your aspiration-heart,

Then your progress-life

Shall be not only permanent,

But ever-transcending. ```

5042

```

When expectation-sweetness

Leads me,

I meet with frustration-bitterness

As my destination. ```

5043

```

When my mind makes God

Really happy,

God immediately becomes

My mind’s unconditional Slave. ```

5044

```

My detachment-life

Not only liberates me,

But also enlightens

The whole world. ```

5045

```

My human mind

Is an information-collector.

My divine heart

Is an aspiration-climber. ```

5046

```

Knowing perfectly well

That God has done everything for me

And will also do everything for me,

How do I get malicious pleasure

In making complaints

Against God? ```

5047

```

Long ago

My heart became a member

Of God’s Happiness-Circle.

Alas, even now

My mind does not care at all

For God’s Happiness-Circle.

My mind wants happiness

In its own way. ```

5048

```

I am looking out

For God’s Compassion-Feet.

God is looking out

For my aspiration-heart. ```

5049

```

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Are studying most seriously

At ‘self-transcendence’ school. ```

5050

```

What is Heaven?

The Compassion-flooded Eye

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

5051

```

Where is Heaven?

Heaven is inside

The Beauty and Fragrance

Of my Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart. ```

5052

```

There was a time

When my heart desired to see

God’s Victory-Banner.

But now my heart desires to become

The divine pride

Of God’s Victory-Banner. ```

5053

```

Everything

May eventually desert us,

But not our Beloved Lord’s

Compassion-Eye. ```

5054

```

My Lord,

Do bless me with the capacity

To say something really kind

Even to those

Who are extremely unkind to me.

```

5055

```

My Lord,

Will You not give me

The blessingful capacity

To burn my gratitude-heart-candle

Every morning and every evening?

```

5056

```

Finally, I was able to sing proudly

The farewell song

For my doubting mind.

```

5057

```

Alas, there is no reason

Why I love my mind’s

Complication-confusion-jungle.

```

5058

```

God is not only ready and willing

But also eager

To keep my monkey-mind occupied

So that it does not create

Any serious problem.

```

5059

```

My God-faith

Is a daily companion

Of my devotion-heart.

```

5060

```

May I live between

My heart’s gratitude-tears

And my life’s surrender-smiles.

```

5061

```

The mind-room

Is always empty

Of aspiration-cries.

```

5062

```

The heart-room

Is always full

Of God-Satisfaction-Smiles.

```

5063

```

The heart of an Avatar

A God-Love-feast.

```

5064

```

Alas, each human life

Has to swim

Against the attachment-waves

Of the shoreless ocean. ```

5065

```

It seems that the temptation-expectation

Is extremely difficult

To avoid.

```

5066

```

The happiness we discover

In our tranquillity-mind

Is an unparalleled achievement.

```

5067

```

My Lord Supreme says to me:

“My Divinity’s child,

How could you have surrendered

To ignorance-night?

How could you?”

```

5068

```

To have a good thought

Is to enter

Into God’s Heart-Palace.

```

5069

```

To become a good thought

Is to become

A real member

Of God’s immediate Family. ```

5070

```

I call it

My unconditional surrender.

God calls it

My soul’s ecstasy-dance. ```

5071

```

God wants to prove to us

That nothing is impossible.

Lo, my doubting mind

Is begging my God-loving heart

For forgiveness.

```

5072

```

The readiness of the life,

The willingness of the mind

And

The eagerness of the heart

Together grow, together glow

And

Together flow.

```

5073

```

May my gratitude-heart

One day be worthy

Of my Lord’s

Compassion-Ocean. ```

5074

```

My oneness-heart

Has finally challenged

And defeated

My aloofness-mind. ```

5075

```

If anybody asks me

What my immediate need is,

I shall tell him

That my immediate need is

God’s Forgiveness-Feet

And not

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

5076

```

My Lord,

Is there anything special

That You want me to accomplish

Every day?

“Yes, My child.

I want you to renew

Every morning

Your surrender-life

And gratitude-breath.”

```

5077

```

An unaspiring mind

Even unconsciously

Does not need God.

```

5078

```

An aspiring heart

Desperately and constantly

Needs God.

```

5079

```

A surrendering life

Dearly and carefully treasures

God’s Compassion-Eye

And

God’s Forgiveness-Feet.

```

5080

```

My faith in God

Is at once

My God-Protection-Fort

And

My God-Destination-Port.

```

5081

```

Beautiful is my heart’s

Hope-dawn.

Powerful is my mind’s

Promise-morning.

Fruitful is my soul’s

Smile-day. ```

5082

```

I have two homes

To live in:

My obedience-mind-home

And

My devotion-heart-home.

```

5083

```

Can you imagine!

I was quite happy

In my mind-prison.

Can you imagine!

I am not proud

Of my heart-palace. ```

5084

```

It is impossible for me to separate

My heart’s happiness

From my life’s progress.

```

5085

```

My knowledge-mind

Cautions me always.

My wisdom-heart

Illumines me always. ```

5086

```

My determination-mind

Is the beginning

Of my success-life.

```

5087

```

My God-surrender

Is the beginning

Of my progress-life.

```

5088

```

Aloofness does not

And cannot conquer

Life’s immeasurable problems.

```

5089

```

A truly aspiring heart

Cannot believe

In enmity.

```

5090

```

My heart sings and sings

And plays and plays

Right in front of

My smiling soul. ```

5091

```

Simplicity-living

And sweetness-feeling

Are oneness-friends.

```

5092

```

A seeker’s

God-manifestation-journey

Begins with

Unlimited possibilities. ```

5093

```

Each aspiring life

Is a masterpiece

Of God’s Art.

```

5094

```

A clarity-mind

Is the supreme revelation

Of Truth.

```

5095

```

A purity-heart

Is the absolute manifestation

Of Truth.

```

5096

```

To accept any situation

Willingly

Is to fly in God’s Satisfaction-Sky

Indefinitely. ```

5097

```

My mind’s

Constant frustration

My life was.

```

5098

```

My mind’s

Surprising fascination

My life now is.

```

5099

```

If your heart chooses kindness,

Then your life becomes

God’s immediate usefulness.

```

5100

```

Not long ago

I was

A self-centred mind.

```

5101

```

I now am

A God-centred heart. ```

5102

```

You are not

Your yesterday’s

Mind-frustration-life.

```

5103

```

You are

Your tomorrow’s

God-satisfaction-heart.

```

5104

```

Behold,

My heart’s devotion-tears

Have reached

The Golden Shore. ```

5105

```

Each smiling child

Embodies

Humanity’s high hopes

For God-manifestation

On earth.

```

5106

```

My soul-garden

Is a perfect stranger

To weeds.

```

5107

```

The stillness of the inner Divinity

Has the power

To challenge and conquer

The pride of time. ```

5108

```

My attachment-mind

Binds me

Ruthlessly.

```

5109

```

If you do not aspire,

Naturally you are going to fall

Upon the sidewalks

Of your spiritual life. ```

5110

```

Every morning

My soul inspires my heart

To board the progress-flight

To a new destination. ```

5111

```

Do not underestimate

The destruction-power

Of your impurity-mind!

```

5112

```

If you enjoy the comedy of life,

Then you should be prepared

To suffer the tragedy of death.

```

5113

```

Every day

God plants new hope-trees

In my heart-garden.

```

5114

```

My heart says to God,

“Please correct me immediately

If and when I am wrong.”

```

5115

```

My mind says to God,

“Father, since I am never wrong,

Why do You hesitate

To give me my due reward?” ```

5116

```

Use your heart’s joy;

Do not keep it,

If you really want God

To be extremely proud of you. ```

5117

```

If you want to see God

Smiling at you

Most powerfully and most proudly,

Then cast off

All shackles of pride.

```

5118

```

When I aspire

Most self-givingly,

The world sees my heart

In my eyes. ```

5119

```

God is always ready

To hear me singing,

Whether I sing

The songs of joy

Or the songs of sorrow.

```

5120

```

I travel uphill

With the beauty and fragrance

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

5121

```

I travel downhill

To enjoy

My confusion-mind.

```

5122

```

A dreaming heart

God proudly cradles. ```

5123

```

A sleeping mind

God deliberately avoids. ```

5124

```

Gratitude flies

Faster than the fastest

To sit at God’s

Protection-Satisfaction-Feet. ```

5125

```

Devotion

Without an immediate obedience

Is of no avail.

```

5126

```

When my heart is unhappy,

My doubting mind becomes

Stronger than the strongest.

```

5127

```

God wants me

To feel His Heart,

But I prefer

To touch His Feet. ```

5128

```

My life will be incomplete

If my heart is empty

Of tears

And my soul is empty

Of smiles.

```

5129

```

There is no special way

To satisfaction.

The way itself

Is stupendous satisfaction. ```

5130

```

Simplify your life-temple.

Purify your heart-shrine.

Lo, your Lord Beloved Supreme

Is singing and dancing

With enormous joy and pride.

```

5131

```

God laughs and laughs

When He hears the world

Calling His lover

Stupidity incarnate. ```

5132

```

Stay, my Lord Supreme, stay!

I promise

I shall never betray You

Anymore. ```

5133

```

Each divine thought

Is a blossoming progress-smile

Of my heart.

```

5134

```

My silence-heart

Is my matchless

Meditation-companion.

```

5135

```

I call it

My gratitude-heart.

God calls it

My perfection-acceleration. ```

5136

```

O my temple-purity-heart,

May my tears and smiles

Play hide-and-seek

Inside you. ```

5137

```

Only when I pray and meditate,

I see the Beauty of God’s Smile

In my heart-garden.

```

5138

```

Each smiling child

Is God’s new satisfaction-promise

On earth.

```

5139

```

Humanity cries.

Divinity descends.

Infinity smiles.

```

5140

```

In the morning I pray for

A mind-illumining life.

In the evening I pray for

A heart-fulfilling breath. ```

5141

```

When we pray,

We carry our hopeful heart

To God.

```

5142

```

When we meditate,

God comes to us,

Carrying with Him

His bountiful Heart. ```

5143

```

Not my Master’s polite request,

But his express command

Energises me, illumines me

And fulfils me. ```

5144

```

Each new self-giving thought

A new oneness-peace-harbinger.

```

5145

```

Finally, I am happy and fulfilled,

For now I can stand in between

My rainbow-devotion-tears

And

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Sun-Smiles.

```

5146

```

Alas, I do not know

Who can and who will rescue me

From my

Drowning depression-frustration-life. ```

5147

```

Even the very thought

Of my unaspiring mind

Compels me to feel

That I am a catastrophic failure. ```

5148

```

My soul is teaching my heart

How to carry

God’s Peace-Manifestation-Light

From horizon to horizon. ```

5149

```

Just one doubtful thought

Is enough to paralyse

The joy of an aspiration-heart.

```

5150

```

No matter how brave I am,

I still find it impossible

To disentangle myself

From my confusion-mind. ```

5151

```

Day in and day out

I spend my time

In watching my Lord’s

Forgiveness-Happiness-Rainbow. ```

5152

```

To achieve the flexibility of the body

May take a very short time,

But to achieve the flexibility of the mind

Is, indeed, a most arduous task. ```

5153

```

If you still want to keep your pride,

Then place it at your Master’s

Forgiveness-feet.

```

5154

```

How can you be attached to falsehood

When your heart

Is all devotion to please God?

```

5155

```

Not God’s Justice-Light,

But His Compassion-Delight

Is travelling the whole world.

```

5156

```

My God-obedience-heart

Will definitely fulfil

My God-fulfilment-promise.

```

5157

```

My dream of Infinity abides

Inside the reality

Of my God-surrender-life.

```

5158

```

My soul, my heart and I

Are rising high, higher, highest

On a new God-satisfaction-wave.

```

5159

```

My God-obedience-heart

And

My God-manifestation-hope

Are my only two friends. ```

5160

```

A spiritual Master’s voice

Has the capacity to garner

Not only sweetness

But also fulness. ```

5161

```

My mind’s readiness,

My life’s willingness

And

My heart’s eagerness

Are constantly supporting

My God-manifestation-promise on earth. ```

5162

```

My ignorance-life expires

Only when

I feel that I belong

Only to God’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

5163

```

Hard is it for depression

To find anything satisfying,

Even in God.

```

5164

```

My Lord, You ask me

And immediately I do.

What do I do?

I sing Your Light-Manifestation-Song. ```

5165

```

My God-worship

Has to be constant

And not frequent.

```

5166

```

When my gratitude-heart

Implores God for anything,

God immediately responds.

```

5167

```

My only prayer to God:

“My Lord,

Do take full control of my life

At every moment.” ```

5168

```

Anything that makes me closer

To my Lord Supreme

Is invaluable.

```

5169

```

My broken heart can be healed

Not by mere affection and love

From humanity,

But by sheer oneness

With God’s Will.

```

5170

```

When I look at the Beauty

Of my Lord’s Eye,

I am all enchanted

And I sleep no more

Ignorance-sleep.

```

5171

```

When I look at the Power

Of my Lord’s Feet,

I am all energised

And I serve Him more. ```

5172

```

A heart of genuine aspiration

Can never

Be kept down.

```

5173

```

My aspiration-heart

Is the fragrance

Of my pilgrim-soul.

```

5174

```

Every hour

Is a God’s choice Hour

For us to realise,

Reveal and manifest God. ```

5175

```

He who has a measurable goal

Cannot make

Immeasurable progress.

```

5176

```

What else is the source

Of my world-encouragement,

If not my self-enlightenment?

```

5177

```

Because of my limitation-mind,

My aspiration-heart sees no escape

And no recourse.

```

5178

```

You want to succeed —

But where is

Your patience-heart?

```

5179

```

You want to proceed —

But where is

Your surrender-life?

```

5180

```

My Lord, let me chase

Your Compassion-Eye

And You chase

My ignorance-life. ```

5181

```

We struggle and struggle

Because our mind’s faith

In our Lord Supreme

Is not sufficient. ```

5182

```

We suffer and suffer

Because our heart’s

Surrender to God

Is incomplete. ```

5183

```

The ignorant

World-enjoyment-thirst

I had.

```

5184

```

The wise

World-service-hunger

I am.

```

5185

```

Every day

My Lord wants me to increase

My world-acceptance

Readiness, willingness and eagerness. ```

5186

```

Alas,

We do not know

And we shall never know

How compassionate

And how self-giving

Our Lord Beloved Supreme

Really is.

```

5187

```

My sweetness-life-smiles

Expedite and multiply

God’s Affection for me.

```

5188

```

My gratitude-heart-tears

Expedite and multiply

God’s Compassion for me.

```

5189

```

My surrender-oneness-breath

Expedites and multiplies

God’s Satisfaction in me.

```

5190

```

My Lord, once upon a time

I gave You a headache

Because of my great love for ignorance.

```

5191

```

My Lord, now is the time

For me to show You

How sincerely my heart aches

For Your Love. ```

5192

```

My Absolute Lord’s

Omnipotence-Eye

Frightens my mind.

```

5193

```

My Beloved Lord’s

Omnipresence-Life

Enlightens my heart.

```

5194

```

I am happy and I am perfect

Only when God’s likes and dislikes

Guide my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

5195

```

My Lord,

When I tell You that I have stopped

Expecting and demanding,

Do not believe me —

I must confess my insincerity.

```

5196

```

O seeker,

Do not look at others’ outer prosperity.

It may sadden your mind.

```

5197

```

O seeker,

Look at others’ inner prosperity.

It may intensify your God-hunger.

```

5198

```

My Lord,

Do use Your Heart only one time

And see how quickly

My heart and I perish

Without Your Love.

```

5199

```

When I pray soulfully,

I love to enjoy

God’s blessingful Presence.

```

5200

```

When I meditate deeply,

God loves to enjoy

My blissful presence.

```

5201

```

Even death

Has no use

For our dry mind.

```

5202

```

Every day

My God-realisation-hope

Is getting stronger and stronger.

```

5203

```

Dark mind, dark thoughts,

Dark face and dark eyes

Are fond of one another.

```

5204

```

God-manifestation-responsibilities

Are meant only for

God-chosen instruments.

```

5205

```

My Lord, there was a time

When my mind and I

Craved only

Name and fame. ```

5206

```

My Lord, my heart and I

Are craving only

Your Compassion-Eye.

```

5207

```

If you cannot meditate

On your Goal,

Try to dream of your Goal

At least.

It will be of great help

To you. ```

5208

```

My mind-turbulence

Frightens

My heart.

```

5209

```

My heart-tears

Inspire

My mind.

```

5210

```

In the desire-world,

Sooner or later

We shall all be devoured

By helplessness. ```

5211

```

I shall no longer

Remain chained

To my mind’s choices.

```

5212

```

From now on

I shall remain chained

Only to my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Feet. ```

5213

```

God wants us to cut

The bondage

Of worldly attachment

And not world-affection. ```

5214

```

Where else can God be,

If not inside

Our sincerity-mind?

```

5215

```

Where else can God be,

If not inside

Our purity-heart?

```

5216

```

Where else can God be,

If not inside

Our simplicity-life?

```

5217

```

True love of God

Knows no

Reciprocity-desire.

```

5218

```

O my mind,

Seek not, avoid not.

Take whatever comes.

Peace will be all yours. ```

5219

```

Be pure in mind,

Be pure in heart,

Be pure in thought and speech

And stand aside.

Allow God to work for you.

He will do it,

Gladly and proudly.

```

5220

```

Only two things I need:

A prayerful heart

And a self-giving breath.

```

5221

```

What am I doing?

I am celebrating my mind’s

Final doubt-demise.

```

5222

```

Even the lower than the lowest mind

Is never a non-entity

In God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

5223

```

O my mind,

How many times

Do I have to tell you

That doubt and suspicion

Are untouchables?

```

5224

```

From perfection-height

When I look,

Everything is perfection incarnate.

```

5225

```

During my prayer,

I clearly see God

Ushering in

Divinity’s newness. ```

5226

```

During my meditation,

I clearly see God

Ushering in

Immortality’s fulness. ```

5227

```

May my purity-heart-garden

Never lose even an iota

Of its divinity’s beauty.

```

5228

```

He who does not aspire

Will be consumed

With a self-doubt-hunger.

```

5229

```

I never knew that

My frustration-mind-friend

Would be so dangerous

And so destructive. ```

5230

```

Perfection and satisfaction

Are always

In short supply.

```

5231

```

My Lord, do tell me

How I can ever endure

A long spell of indifference

From You. ```

5232

```

A doubt-demolition-mind

A progress-promotion-life.

```

5233

```

May each and every deed

Of my life

Become a climbing delight

Of my heart. ```

5234

```

I call it

My aspiration-advancement.

God calls it

His proudest achievement. ```

5235

```

An aspiration-hungry heart

Is a special satisfaction

Of God.

```

5236

```

God’s Sweetness-Compassion-Smile

Loves everything,

Even my mind’s desire-hunger.

```

5237

```

My morning God-surrender-breath

Sumptuously feeds

My entire day.

```

5238

```

When I sing for God,

My heart resonates

With God’s Fulness-Dreams.

```

5239

```

I cry to see God,

Not in my eyes,

Not even in my heart,

But only

In my ever-blossoming tears.

```

5240

```

I find my divinity

Only in the community

Of God-surrendered souls.

```

5241

```

My soul embraces

Divinity’s Beauty

To enjoy

Infinity’s Fragrance. ```

5242

```

An unconditional surrender

Is just one farther stride

To Heaven.

```

5243

```

Jealousy-mind

And insecurity-heart

Together live.

```

5244

```

To my greatest surprise,

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Has smashed asunder

All my attachment-ties. ```

5245

```

The transformation of life

Begins with a soulful smile

Of the heart.

```

5246

```

Mankind’s oneness-dream

Was founded upon

God’s ever-transcending Reality.

```

5247

```

Even through my mind’s

Thickest and heaviest fog,

My heart is proceeding

Towards God. ```

5248

```

God is all ready

To edit my life-book.

Alas, will I ever be inspired

To write? ```

5249

```

My God-searching mind

Has always room

For obedience.

```

5250

```

Disobedience-temptation

Is an open door

To hell.

```

5251

```

Self-destruction

Is the mind’s

Breathing room.

```

5252

```

God-satisfaction

Is the heart’s

Breathing room.

```

5253

```

Conquer insecurity.

God the Pride

Shall beckon you.

```

5254

```

I shall treasure only

My God-obedience-achievement-award

And nothing else.

```

5255

```

O God-disobedience-life,

I really do not want to know

Where you live and what you do.

```

5256

```

The complexities of worries

Each human mind

Is fully aware of.

```

5257

```

What the heart desires,

Eventually the mind,

Vital and body become.

```

5258

```

Where do I live?

I live inside my heart’s

Sincerity-cries.

```

5259

```

Where shall I live?

I shall live inside my soul’s

Divinity-smiles.

```

5260

```

At God’s choice Hour,

Each old dream

Becomes a new reality.

```

5261

```

My God-Destination-choice

I made

With my heart’s tremendous courage.

```

5262

```

My name is adamantine determination

To pull my days and nights

Out of their vagabond aimlessness.

```

5263

```

The beauty

Of my illumination-soul

Is changeless.

```

5264

```

The fragrance

Of my illumination-soul

Is fathomless.

```

5265

```

Only a God-surrender-heart

Knows

What God-ecstasy is.

```

5266

```

What have I drowned?

I have drowned my life’s

Ignorance-night

In my heart’s aspiration-flood. ```

5267

```

A spiritual life

Without love-devotion-surrender

Is worth next to nothing.

```

5268

```

The aspiration-heart

Does have the capacity

To answer

All the complicated questions

Of the mind.

```

5269

```

May my life be guided

At every moment

By my soul’s lightning-illumination.

```

5270

```

May my mind be shaped

By my heart’s

Thunder-determination.

```

5271

```

My heart

Is extremely fond of

My soul’s

Wisdom-light-tree. ```

5272

```

God does not like the idea

Of my calling Him

Only in case of emergency.

```

5273

```

God is compelling my mind

To study my heart-lessons

Every day, without fail.

```

5274

```

God knows

What not to do:

He does not demand.

```

5275

```

I know

What not to do:

I do not expect.

```

5276

```

I had not the slightest idea

That my aspiration-cries

And my devotion-tears

Would be so beautiful. ```

5277

```

A relaxation-mind

I desperately need. ```

5278

```

An intensity-heart

I sleeplessly need. ```

5279

```

Knowledge-information

My mind has.

Useless.

```

5280

```

Wisdom-illumination

My heart needs.

Here and now.

```

5281

```

Disobedience means

God-Will-avoidance. ```

5282

```

Choose the most attractive path;

I mean,

The path of the heart.

```

5283

```

Widen

Your mind’s eye

To include everything.

```

5284

```

Widen

Your heart’s eye

To become everything.

```

5285

```

Widen

Your life’s eye

To enjoy everything.

```

5286

```

Negative thought

You cherish,

Destructive deed

You become. ```

5287

```

A true dedication

Is a perfect stranger

To vacation.

```

5288

```

The beauty of his eyes

Lives inside

The purity of his heart.

```

5289

```

O my mind,

Still there is plenty of time

For you to destroy

All shackles of pride. ```

5290

```

May my heart-tears

Mount high-higher-highest

At every moment.

```

5291

```

May my soul-smiles

Spread all-where

Every day.

```

5292

```

Today my aspiration-heart

Has become the bliss

Of the farthest shore.

```

5293

```

O doubting mind,

The waves of world-criticism

You have to brook.

```

5294

```

Alas, when will I be able to declare

My final readiness

To accept God in His own Way?

```

5295

```

Each time I pray

To God,

I become a new personality.

```

5296

```

Each time I meditate

On God,

I grow into a new divinity.

```

5297

```

Each time I say to God,

“I have,”

God corrects me:

“No, My child,

You are.”

```

5298

```

My Lord, my heart is dying

To have from You

The breath of an unconditional

Surrender. ```

5299

```

My God-obedience-number

I can

Easily count.

```

5300

```

My God-disobedience-number

Defies

My counting capacity.

```

5301

```

When I walk towards God,

God Himself

Counts my baby steps

Most proudly. ```

5302

```

In the morning

I soulfully watch

The beauty of the dawn.

```

5303

```

In the evening

I self-givingly watch

The silence of the sky.

```

5304

```

The child that smiles

Is the Beauty

Of God’s Dream.

```

5305

```

The child that cries

Is the Compassion

Of God’s Reality.

```

5306

```

The doubting mind itself

A confusion-market-torture.

```

5307

```

The God-loving heart

The exquisite thrill

Of God’s own Heart. ```

5308

```

The outer speed

Fascinates

The human mind.

```

5309

```

The inner speed

Originates

A new creation.

```

5310

```

Be not afraid

Of telling the world

That your mind can aspire,

Your heart can love,

Your life can serve

And you can become

God’s choicest instrument.

```

5311

```

When I am

My aspiration-lover,

God becomes

My decision-maker. ```

5312

```

My Lord,

How I wish I could hear

Your Footsteps

Inside my heart-cries. ```

5313

```

Peace

Is the flower of love

And the fruit

Of detachment. ```

5314

```

I sing my heart’s

Oneness-song

For God.

```

5315

```

God compassionately strikes

His Fulness-Gong

For me.

```

5316

```

Slowly, steadily

And unerringly

You must climb up

Your life’s progress-ladder. ```

5317

```

I pray to God

In silence.

But God loves to amplify

My prayer. ```

5318

```

Each God-lover

Is a unique

God-heart-fragrance.

```

5319

```

My Lord,

Only for Your Feet

My heart’s rainbow-colours.

```

5320

```

Life is bound to remain

Incomplete

Without perfection-smiles.

```

5321

```

The happiness of the heart

Supplies us with the wings

To fly

In God’s own Heart-Sky. ```

5322

```

No true outer freedom

Can ever be achieved

Without inner peace.

```

5323

```

Faith is

The life-beauty-supplier. ```

5324

```

We must all obey God

In the heart-temple

Of self-offering.

```

5325

```

There is only one way

To realise God,

And that way is

Constant surrender-oneness

With God’s Will.

```

5326

```

Alas,

How many times

My mind has not cared

For God-appointed hours. ```

5327

```

My God-realisation knows

That anything that is limited

Can be made unlimited

By virtue of

God’s Compassion-Rain.

```

5328

```

As there is no fixed hour

For us to move forward,

Even so, there is no fixed hour

For us to arrive

At our destined Goal.

```

5329

```

The beauty

Of my heart’s hope

Is pure.

```

5330

```

The fragrance

Of my soul’s promise

Is sweet.

```

5331

```

My devotion-tears

Every night

Lull me to dream

Blissful dreams. ```

5332

```

Love and surrender

Always shine

On the altar of devotion.

```

5333

```

I see God’s Eye

Every day

Inside the temple-purity

Of my heart. ```

5334

```

The soul’s realities

Are totally different

From our mind’s concepts.

```

5335

```

God wants each and every

Opportunity of my life

To be a tremendous outer success

And inner progress. ```

5336

```

No, it is not true

That the human doubt

Is stronger

Than the divine belief.

It is definitely the other way around.

```

5337

```

My openness-heart

Expands

God’s Fulness-Life.

```

5338

```

Most beautiful

Are my heart’s

Gratitude-tears.

```

5339

```

Sweetest

Are my Lord’s

Satisfaction-Smiles.

```

5340

```

My mind, tell me how long

You will deceive yourself,

How long you will ignore my heart,

How long? ```

5341

```

How can we really

Love our mind,

Without forgiving

Our mind first? ```

5342

```

The inner peace

Knows not

The power of death.

```

5343

```

It is not that we are not warned

By God’s Will;

We just do not pay any attention

To it. ```

5344

```

May my life live

Between

My mind’s thunder-progress

And

My heart’s lightning-perfection.

```

5345

```

Fastest is my aspiration-speed.

How?

I have cleaved asunder

My mind’s disobedience-mountain. ```

5346

```

My soul-seed

Struggled to sprout —

But succeeded.

```

5347

```

My heart-bud

Is struggling to blossom —

But I am sure it will succeed.

```

5348

```

God Himself fought for me

Against my mind’s doubt

And won,

And gave me victory’s crown. ```

5349

```

My heart and I have heard

Many different kinds of music,

But the sweetest music

Is my Lord’s fast-approaching

Footsteps.

```

5350

```

God’s Footstep-Whispers

Immediately

Send me to Heaven.

```

5351

```

When the eagerness of my heart

Speaks soulfully to God,

God’s Joy knows no bounds.

```

5352

```

God wants my life

To be

His Peace-Triumph-Banner.

```

5353

```

The inner peace-fire

Does have the capacity

To radiate

In all directions. ```

5354

```

Each heartbeat definitely embodies

The beauty and fragrance

Of the Promised Land.

```

5355

```

My soul has only one question

To ask me:

When will my mind be ready

To love God? ```

5356

```

What a great relief,

Now that I have taken my work

As my life’s playground!

```

5357

```

Bravely

I collect doubt-thorns

From my mind-jungle.

```

5358

```

Bravely

I sow my heart’s faith-seeds

In my mind-jungle.

```

5359

```

The mind’s negativity-deafness

Has to be cured

By the heart’s peace-music.

```

5360

```

O doubting mind,

Are you so blind

That you cannot see and feel

You are passing from

Joy-starvation-station

To joy-starvation-station? ```

5361

```

Tomorrow’s truth-victory-bell

Is ringing

In my today’s aspiration-heart.

```

5362

```

I can meet with Infinity’s Peace

Only at my life’s

Unconditional surrender-shore.

```

5363

```

How I wish my mind

To be fully acquainted

With my Lord’s Feet,

As is my heart. ```

5364

```

My heart’s teardrops

Are so sacred

That God Himself

Collects them. ```

5365

```

My heart’s cheerfulness

Every day receives

A special invitation

From my Lord Supreme. ```

5366

```

Only an unconditionally

Surrendered soul

Can have a free access to God’s

Seventh Heaven of Delight. ```

5367

```

May my God-eagerness-heart

Consume

My entire being.

```

5368

```

May I be prayerfully

And devotedly conscious

All the time

Of my life’s sacred

God-manifestation-duty.

```

5369

```

God tells me

That He will be more than willing

To bless me

With His Ecstasy’s Flood

If I just make a solemn promise

To Him

To break my doubting head.

```

5370

```

I have given my heart

A most thrilling task:

Every day

My heart steals the golden dust

From my Lord’s Golden Feet.

```

5371

```

Where is my God-faith?

It is inside

My blossoming heart.

```

5372

```

Where is my God-faith?

It is inside

My glowing eyes.

```

5373

```

Where is my God-faith?

It is inside

My streaming tears.

```

5374

```

Where is my God-faith?

It is inside

My beaming smiles.

```

5375

```

When you start your journey,

Only look for the stars

In your own heart-sky.

```

5376

```

A low consciousness

Precedes

Our spirituality’s downfall.

```

5377

```

As falsehood

Does not become truth,

Even so, hatred

Cannot become love. ```

5378

```

Today’s God-disobedience

Will turn into

Tomorrow’s life-depression.

```

5379

```

I am going back

To my Beloved Supreme

With my renewed hope-heart.

```

5380

```

I am going back

To my Lord Supreme

With my mind’s

Renewed determination. ```

5381

```

God is ready

To wipe away your heart’s tears,

But where are they?

```

5382

```

Only your heart’s love for God

Will carry you home

To God’s Compassion-Nest.

```

5383

```

God does not know

Whether He will cry

Or smile or laugh

When He sees my heart’s

Microscopic faith.

```

5384

```

For my puny dedication,

Alas,

I expect a giant congratulation

From my Lord Supreme. ```

5385

```

The Compassion-Heart

Of my Lord Supreme

Does not believe in placing

An embargo

On my mind’s blind and wild

Unwillingness. ```

5386

```

Love God more, infinitely more,

Or love God more, a little more.

You will be able to bring

All your mind’s fears and doubts

To a standstill.

```

5387

```

God comes and asks us

To show Him

Our dynamic aspiration.

To His great surprise,

We cannot show Him

Even our static aspiration. ```

5388

```

An insecurity-heart

And a narrowness-mind

Love each other

Most sincerely. ```

5389

```

The heart must needs have

Adamantine inner strength

To overtake

The mind’s stormy decisions. ```

5390

```

I give myself a hearty laugh

When I remember

That I was a passenger

On a non-stop ignorance-train. ```

5391

```

I thought it was an impossible task

For me to reclaim God’s trust in me.

To my greatest joy,

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Has made the impossible possible.

```

5392

```

My illumination-soul

And my aspiration-heart

Used to live in adjoining rooms,

But now they prefer to live together

In the same room.

```

5393

```

I never thought

That it would be so easy for me

To say adieu to doubt.

Now I see that God’s Compassion-Eye

Has performed an unconditional miracle

For me. ```

5394

```

When I pray and meditate,

Renunciation

Is easier than the easiest.

```

5395

```

When I do not pray and meditate,

Possession-hunger

Is my only preoccupation.

```

5396

```

God-realisation you want

Sooner than the soonest.

Do you not know where

Your aspiration is?

Your aspiration is at its lowest.

```

5397

```

There are limitless ways to please God.

But alas,

When will my heart discover

Even one way? ```

5398

```

I wish to see God smiling

Every day.

Therefore, every morning

I shall embark

On a new project.

```

5399

```

To surmount ignorance-barrier,

I must develop an unquenchable thirst

For God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

5400

```

My heart declined the invitation

From my desire-mind,

And I have become now

The happiness-prince. ```

5401

```

Alas, my outer success-life

And

My inner progress-heart

Are not permanent. ```

5402

```

O seeker, be careful!

It does not take even a second

To lose everything

That is inspiring and illumining. ```

5403

```

My Lord,

Even one fleeting moment

Away from You

Seems to me longer than Eternity. ```

5404

```

My Lord, do take me back.

This time I assure You

I shall never disappoint You

In any way. ```

5405

```

My Lord,

No matter what befalls me,

I shall sing Your Victory-Song

While walking along Eternity’s Road. ```

5406

```

My Lord, I love You.

Love means self-giving.

How is it that I hesitate to give You

All that I have and all that I am? ```

5407

```

There is no proper substitute

For God-realisation-delight. ```

5408

```

My Lord,

Two kinds of fear torment me:

The fear of displeasing You

And

The fear of Your withdrawal from me.

```

5409

```

My Lord, I would like You to know

Only one thing:

How sad I feel when I withdraw

From Your Compassion-Eye. ```

5410

```

My Lord, there is no joy

In displeasing You.

Yet why do I continue doing it

Day after day, week after week,

Month after month?

```

5411

```

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet

And my gratitude-heart

Together have made meteoric progress.

```

5412

```

Divinity’s self-giving

Is far beyond

Humanity’s receptivity.

```

5413

```

My Lord, do believe me.

Not only my heart,

But even my mind is crying

To please You in Your own Way. ```

5414

```

I know, I know

That I am attached

Only to one thing:

My Lord’s Sweetness-Heart. ```

5415

```

O seeker, protect and preserve

Only what God has secretly

And blessingfully

Kept inside your aspiration-heart. ```

5416

```

God is so strict with me

That He never expects

Any explanation from me

When my consciousness descends. ```

5417

```

My Lord,

How I wish I could remain

As a permanent infant

In Your Compassion-flooded Nursery. ```

5418

```

In eager anticipation

I love to wait only for one thing:

My Lord’s

Compassion-Forgiveness-Arrival. ```

5419

```

A mind

Of world-detachment

Is what I need.

```

5420

```

A heart

Of God-attachment

Is all I need.

```

5421

```

My Lord,

I do know that

You are waiting for me.

I do know that

I shall swim

In Your Infinity’s Vastness-Sea. ```

5422

```

A self-conscious mind

I was.

A God-conscious heart

I now am. ```

5423

```

The more

I have You, my Lord,

The more

I must please You. ```

5424

```

My Lord called.

My heart answered immediately,

Happily, devotedly and self-givingly.

```

5425

```

When I am in my animal consciousness,

I feel that I have loved God

More than He deserves.

```

5426

```

When I am in my human consciousness,

I feel that I have loved God

As much as I should.

```

5427

```

When I am in my divine consciousness,

I feel I must love my Lord Supreme

Infinitely more.

```

5428

```

I say to God, “My Lord,

I am all ready

To think of You constantly.”

```

5429

```

God says to me, “My child,

I am also all ready

To give you Myself completely.”

```

5430

```

Innumerable chances

My Lord has given me.

Alas, yet I do not know why

I am still missing His Golden Boat. ```

5431

```

An obedience-heart

And a surrender-life

Will never stumble

On the way to God-realisation. ```

5432

```

I shall never allow

My aspiration-heart

To be in the company

Of my desire-mind. ```

5433

```

A God-doubter

An abysmal abyss-enjoyer.

```

5434

```

A spiritual Master

Equally enjoys

The breath of an atom

And

The Life of Infinity.

```

5435

```

Alas, will humanity’s

World-attachment-train

Ever stop functioning?

```

5436

```

How can the music of silence

Be appreciated by someone

Who does not have a prayer-heart?

```

5437

```

If you are a heart-smiler,

Then eventually you will become

Your mind-barrier-breaker.

```

5438

```

Be serious. Be brave.

You can easily become

A frustration-devourer.

```

5439

```

God-days must start

In the small hours

Of the mornings.

```

5440

```

My Beloved Supreme

Every day comes to me to measure

My heart-height.

```

5441

```

My Lord Supreme

Never comes to me to measure

My mind-length.

```

5442

```

A God-lover’s every breath

Is God’s

Sweetness-Thrill.

```

5443

```

My obedience

Purifies

My God-searching mind.

```

5444

```

My obedience

Intensifies

My God-loving heart.

```

5445

```

My obedience

Expedites

My God-manifesting days.

```

5446

```

The heart-room of love

Always remains

Empty of question.

```

5447

```

If you speak ill of God’s

Compassion-Eye,

Your mind-prison-torture

You will not be able to escape. ```

5448

```

God tells me that

My heart’s gratitude-tears

Are His most precious treasures.

```

5449

```

There was a time

When I greatly admired

My mind’s ego-sermons.

But those days are buried in oblivion.

I now only admire and love

My heart-songs. ```

5450

```

May the beauty

Of my obedience-mind

And the fragrance

Of my gratitude-heart

Forever remain inseparable.

```

5451

```

An aspiration-heart-nest

God’s Dream-Manifestation-Reality.

```

5452

```

God enfolds

Each and every truth-seeker

And peace-lover

At His choice Hour. ```

5453

```

Sleep

Is not rest.

Sleep

Is energy-gathering wisdom. ```

5454

```

The past failures

Do not take as real.

The future promises only

Are real in our spiritual life. ```

5455

```

If we look with the mind’s eye,

We shall see and feel no happiness

In this world.

```

5456

```

Since you do not have

Even a grain of aspiration,

Why and how are you blaming God

For delaying your God-realisation? ```

5457

```

My morning meditation

Does not deal with

Yesterday’s frustration.

It deals only with

Tomorrow’s illumination.

```

5458

```

The outer environment can be perfect

Only when

The inner environment cares only for

God-satisfaction. ```

5459

```

Each uncomely thought

Can easily blight

Our heart-smiles.

```

5460

```

Divinity’s infinite Joy

Is found only

In the temple of silence.

```

5461

```

Let my illumination-soul

Smile

Through my aspiration-heart.

```

5462

```

Let my aspiration-heart

Cry

Inside my doubting mind.

```

5463

```

Let my doubting mind

Feel guilty

And take a new way of life.

```

5464

```

How do I love humanity?

I love humanity through

My soul’s inner happiness.

```

5465

```

How do I serve humanity?

I serve humanity through

My heart’s inner concern.

```

5466

```

His soul’s rich smiles

He is sharing with

Poor and suffering hearts.

```

5467

```

Feel for others’ minds

The way you feel for

Your own heart.

```

5468

```

Each spiritual Master

Is a lighthouse

For those who are lost

In ignorance-sea. ```

5469

```

The mind’s volcano-anger

Is no match for

The heart’s fountain-love.

```

5470

```

How I wish I could be

A source of inspiration

And strength

For those who think

That they are total failures.

```

5471

```

If you take pride

In being humble,

Then you are a humility-clown.

```

5472

```

He who develops inner strength

Through outer discipline

Will last long.

```

5473

```

If you utilise only your leisure-moments

To think of God,

Then you are a useless seeker.

```

5474

```

No matter how strong

The ignorance-mind-fort is,

It can easily be destroyed

By my God-oneness-will. ```

5475

```

The mind’s excitement-exploration

I dearly loved.

The heart’s illumination-perfection

I now am. ```

5476

```

Without a very rich heart,

How can you have

A peaceful mind?

```

5477

```

Every day I pine

To grow into

The beauty and fragrance

Of my heart-rose. ```

5478

```

In the outer world,

God’s number one choice

Is my sleepless surrender-life.

```

5479

```

In the inner world,

God’s number one choice

Is my breathless gratitude-heart.

```

5480

```

How beautiful is

The morning

Of God’s Love-Light.

```

5481

```

How peaceful is

The evening

Of God’s Silence-Delight.

```

5482

```

The fear of my mind

Can be replaced

Only with my heart’s sleepless faith

In God. ```

5483

```

O seeker,

If God’s Love-Weapon

Cannot conquer you,

What else will conquer you? ```

5484

```

Every day

Mankind is aiming

Its dissatisfaction-arrows

At God. ```

5485

```

Do you want to be perfect?

Then feel for others

The way you feel for yourself.

```

5486

```

I feel deeply honoured

When my Master scolds me

In season and out of season.

```

5487

```

In the morning,

The God of Love

Tells me what to do.

```

5488

```

At noon,

The God of Joy

Tells me what to do.

```

5489

```

In the evening,

The God of Peace

Tells me what to do.

```

5490

```

Each seeker has to realise

That he is a special spark

Of the Infinite.

```

5491

```

If you have an aspiration-heart,

Then either today or tomorrow

Your heart will smile

Through your eyes. ```

5492

```

Unimaginable

When my soul smiles

Through my dedication-life.

```

5493

```

On the altar of peace,

Inner silence speaks, sings

And dances.

```

5494

```

God’s infinite Grace does not allow me

To see anymore

My old, ancient ignorance-face.

```

5495

```

God tells me that

I can be perfect,

If ever I can resign myself

Unconditionally

To His divine Consciousness

And supreme Love. ```

5496

```

If you really love God,

Then God wants you to prove it

By loving all.

```

5497

```

It is God’s Compassion-Eye

That does not allow any negative force

To blight

My inner smiles. ```

5498

```

When prosperity comes,

Grow into an extra expansion

Of gratitude-heart-smile.

```

5499

```

My aspiration-heart

Needs no mind-inspiration

For interpretation.

```

5500

```

To the greatest joy and satisfaction

Of my Lord Supreme,

I am now all ready to become

A new aspiration-heart

And

A new dedication-life. ```

5501

```

If we cannot transform

The ingratitude-mind-dragon,

Then we shall not have

Abiding happiness

In our life.

```

5502

```

Alas, for a long, long time,

A growing pain of emptiness

Inside my heart

Has been disturbing my inner poise. ```

5503

```

To say that I can fathom

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is to say that I can exhaust

The inexhaustible. ```

5504

```

Every day God wants us

To come and enjoy

His magical Prayer-Grace.

```

5505

```

We can swim against the stream

Of our deplorable deeds

If we can arm ourselves

With God’s Compassion-Light. ```

5506

```

There are so many divine things

To see and become

When we go beyond the horizon

Of the known. ```

5507

```

We should not try

To dampen the spirit

Of the discontented.

We should only increase and increase

The satisfaction-flames

Of the contented. ```

5508

```

Each time we have a deep meditation,

God invites us to feast

On the Nectar-Bliss of His divine Love.

```

5509

```

My morning prayer to God is this:

“My Lord, do give me the capacity

To soar

On my heart-dream-bird-wings.” ```

5510

```

My gratitude-heart is the smile

That lights my entire life

And welcomes my Lord Supreme.

```

5511

```

Excruciating pangs

Dig holes

For Divinity’s Joy

To fill. ```

5512

```

My soulful prayers

Enjoy the breathtaking,

Divine spectacle

Of God’s Heart-Garden. ```

5513

```

Nothing is lost

By discarding the uncomely thoughts

Of our God-searching mind.

```

5514

```

Every seeker must try to deserve

At least one Gift

From our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

5515

```

Every morning God comes

To affirm our inner strength

And praise our outer efforts.

```

5516

```

Your endeavours will not end

In disappointment

If God is what you want

In all your actions. ```

5517

```

One word that wakes

All humanity:

Love, love, love!

```

5518

```

If we love the spiritual life,

It is God who will tell us

When to start, how to start,

Why to start and where to end. ```

5519

```

When God smiles,

His Smile is for everybody’s heart

To clasp.

```

5520

```

Either you do the right thing

To soar,

Or you do the wrong thing

To sink.

It is you who have to decide.

```

5521

```

No matter how hard we try to deny it,

There shall come a time

When we will be bound to hear

God’s clarion Call. ```

5522

```

When our faith becomes immortal,

There will be nothing difficult

For us to accomplish for God.

Everything will be

Easier than the easiest.

```

5523

```

An impurity-mind-river

Will never be able to run

Into a peace-sea.

```

5524

```

Even if you dream of postponing

The Hour of God,

When that Hour strikes,

Immediately wake up, look around

And run straight towards

Your destination. ```

5525

```

There is an instant recovery

From your mind’s impurity-ailments.

That instant recovery is your entrance

Into the beauty-purity

Of your heart-garden.

```

5526

```

My clever mind takes me

Into the whirlpool of confusion

And tells me that this is

The perfection-satisfaction-hope

Of illumination.

```

5527

```

If you do not enjoy

Your journey’s start,

A sad failure will be

All yours. ```

5528

```

At times the outer victories

Prove to be a veritable defeat

For our inner aspiration-life.

```

5529

```

When I want to speak to God,

He tells me:

“Come and see Me

At My old, illumining Vision-Home.” ```

5530

```

God is always ready

To free us

From the noise of our mind

And take us into

Our self-transcendence-heart.

```

5531

```

God created us

Only to provide

His own Happiness-Chariot.

```

5532

```

Do not surrender to your mind’s

Mortal desires,

But surrender to your soul’s

Immortal aspirations

Every day and every hour of your life.

```

5533

```

Keep your heart’s faith-fountain

Always

In cheerful and self-giving action.

```

5534

```

How can we develop our love for God

If we do not consciously try to feel

His boundless Compassion

And boundless Concern for us

At every moment?

```

5535

```

Obedience

Is the secret and sacred key

To open up

God’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

5536

```

You have not come into the world

To see the number of your years.

You have come here

To become the tears of your heart

And the smiles of your soul,

To become consciously

And inseparably one

With God’s Love-Will-Power. ```

5537

```

When my heart smiles,

God sees another God

Inside me.

```

5538

```

The silence of the mind

Has to go beyond all reasons

And beyond all understanding.

```

5539

```

Pour goodness and not greatness

Into your aspiration-life

To please God in His own Way.

```

5540

```

We must compel

The mind’s sun to set

On both stupidities and trickeries.

```

5541

```

The blossoming heart

We see

Only when the heart is armed

With surrender-light. ```

5542

```

When my mind lived in a monastery,

It became God-forgetfulness-misery,

Plus mockery.

```

5543

```

We must never allow ourselves

To drown in depression’s abysmal abyss

If we have even an iota of love for God.

```

5544

```

If we constantly calculate

Each and every move of ours,

Then we are heading towards

A dead end. ```

5545

```

Close your eyes

To miss your doubt-strangers.

Close your ears

To miss your doubt-acquaintances. ```

5546

```

I am more than satisfied

In breaking my old ties

With my fear-doubt-friends.

```

5547

```

My Lord,

As soon as You see me,

You take the possession-greed

Out of me

And replace it with aspiration-need.

```

5548

```

We must have a field

Where we can sow the seeds

For God’s Love, Blessings

And Compassion,

But we shall not sow expectation-seeds.

```

5549

```

Is there anything

That enthusiasm cannot conquer

In our life

And thus bring about satisfaction? ```

5550

```

My Lord, I would like to have

At least one purity-page

In my entire life-book.

```

5551

```

Man’s perfection

Is God’s Goal

For mankind.

```

5552

```

Our heart-cries are not sincere enough,

Loud enough or pure enough

For God to hear.

```

5553

```

God is asking me to tell Him

My progress-promise

Every day.

```

5554

```

Slowly, steadily, gradually

And unerringly

We must move forward

Towards the beauty and delight

Of our Goal.

```

5555

```

I am happy only when

I sincerely invoke

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet.

```

5556

```

Give and take, give and take;

But give more, give more

To make the divine in you

Extremely happy

And extremely proud of you.

```

5557

```

We must not delay in capturing

All our mind-jungle-animals:

Pride, fear, doubt, self-complacency,

Insincerity and impurity. ```

5558

```

Every day God asks me to come to Him

And sing a new heart-song

To inspire Him

For His full manifestation on earth. ```

5559

```

Finally I have decided that I must join

An ignorance-weight-loss programme

To make myself happy and perfect.

```

5560

```

My Satisfaction-God

Never wants

My surrender-voyage

To end. ```

5561

```

Your self-discovery is not a secret thing.

It is a sacred thing,

And also it is something

That God Himself treasures. ```

5562

```

God’s Compassion wanted me

And my God-longing tears

To discover Him.

```

5563

```

When we do not march alongside

Our fellow seekers,

God feels that we are not ready

For the Path.

It is one family.

He wants all the members

To march along together.

```

5564

```

Every time my Lord examines me,

He expects me to pass my examination

With flying colours.

```

5565

```

My unconditional surrender

Has received Heaven’s highest award:

Immortality’s Smile!

```

5566

```

Always keep your vital under control.

Do not allow it to be tempted

By dark, darker, darkest desires.

```

5567

```

My Lord, relieve my heavy burden!

“My child, I have already relieved you

Of your burden of ignorance-indulgence.

See it and believe it!” ```

5568

```

In the inmost sanctuary of silence,

I hear my Lord singing,

I see my Lord dancing.

```

5569

```

If you can roar

With God-satisfaction-determination,

Then definitely one day

You will be able to satisfy God

In His own Way.

```

5570

```

O seeker,

If you want to run faster than the fastest,

Do not hide behind the walls

Of self-importance, arrogance

And pride.

```

5571

```

Alas, how difficult it is to find

One’s long-lost

God-invocation-capacity.

```

5572

```

I do not need

A larger than the largest hope-boat

To save me.

Even the tiniest hope-raft can save me

And save my all.

```

5573

```

Each human being arrives on earth

With a very special plan

Given by God Himself.

```

5574

```

God blessingfully invites me

Every day

To come and sit at the summit

Of my aspiration. ```

5575

```

We must ignite the fire

Of self-giving love

To please our Lord Supreme

In His own Way. ```

5576

```

When you sing a sweet melody

Flooded with purity,

Then God will be right beside you.

```

5577

```

What I need,

What I needed

And what I shall always need

Are two God-service-arms. ```

5578

```

My Lord is blessing my heart once again

With my childhood’s

Sweetness-fragrance.

```

5579

```

Ignorance-night and wisdom-light

With equal happiness

Course through me.

```

5580

```

My Lord,

Let me find myself

With You, in You and for You

Once and for all. ```

5581

```

The moment I hear

The Heartbeat of my Lord Supreme,

I immediately follow.

```

5582

```

My Lord’s unconditional

Compassion-Smiles

Are piloting my life-boat

Towards His Infinity’s Golden Shore. ```

5583

```

It is a foregone conclusion

That truth

Eventually prevails.

```

5584

```

Pay no attention

To your animal instincts.

Pay all attention

To your divine intuition. ```

5585

```

Be not predisposed to guilt-thoughts

If you want to succeed in your outer life

And proceed in your inner life.

```

5586

```

My Lord,

How I wish I could be fed every day

By the Smiles of Your Fragrance-Eye.

```

5587

```

Alas, I do not know why I still cherish

Disposable thoughts in my mind

And disposable feelings in my heart.

```

5588

```

Those who want to live

On the island of expectation

Ultimately live in frustration-desert.

```

5589

```

When I do not want to serve

God the creation,

God the Creator denies me admission

To His Heart. ```

5590

```

Each human being must realise

That this world needs only smiles

And not frowns from him.

```

5591

```

A genuine God-lover

Must not spend even one minute

In worthless and useless fascination

With the past. ```

5592

```

If we do not purify and illumine

The mind,

We are bound to develop

A spiritual cancer

In our aspiration-heart.

```

5593

```

If you have a strong belief

In God’s Omnipresence-Existence,

Then God will bless you

With His own Breath. ```

5594

```

We want to enjoy

Our journey’s completion-celebration

Long before our journey’s start.

```

5595

```

Harmony and peace:

These two friends are always ready

To give us a very long life

For God-realisation

And God-manifestation.

But alas, we deliberately do not take

Their assistance.

```

5596

```

To cure humanity’s lifelong ailments,

Every day God uses

His Forgiveness-Remedy.

```

5597

```

The mind-lecturer has lectured

For a long time.

Now I would like the heart-singer

To sing for me. ```

5598

```

When we grow into

The Universal Consciousness,

Infinity’s Fulness comes

And embraces us. ```

5599

```

The heart faces problem after problem

When the mind constantly changes

Its opinion of God.

```

5600

```

A sleeplessly self-giving heart

Uniquely shines

In the galaxy of divinity.

```

5601

```

Alas, I never knew

That my intelligence-greed

Would bury my wisdom-hunger.

```

5602

```

Every day I voice forth

My praise for angels

For their eagerness for the manifestation

Of God’s Light on earth. ```

5603

```

If you want to receive from God

His highest Praise,

Then immediately surrender

Your individuality’s shameless face. ```

5604

```

May my God-hungry heart

Every day bloom and blossom

With mystical dreams.

```

5605

```

Whenever my undivine mind

Gets an opportunity,

It steals away my heart’s God-dreams.

```

5606

```

My Lord tells me

That He will not accept

My pitiful pleas,

But He will only accept

My cheerful invitation.

```

5607

```

No matter how sincere and deep

My heart’s gratitude is,

It will never match

My Supreme Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```

5608

```

There was a time

When my desire-bound mind

Was repelled by divinity.

But now the same mind

Is attracted by divinity.

```

5609

```

If you have compassion,

You must express it

To make it more effective

And more perfect. ```

5610

```

The outer enemies

Are dangerous.

The inner enemies

Are treacherous. ```

5611

```

My Lord tells me

That He loves my affection-heart

And my gratitude-heart

Far more than I can ever imagine. ```

5612

```

How easy to do the right thing!

Yet we enjoy doing

The wrong thing.

```

5613

```

God’s Smile

Charms my heart

And disarms my mind.

```

5614

```

When you invite attachment,

You do not realise that misery

Also follows.

```

5615

```

Quite often we are afraid of

Our mind’s warnings,

But not those from God.

```

5616

```

Catch the underlying thought

In your mind

Before it catches you.

```

5617

```

In our spiritual life,

The speed of the doubting mind

Is never registered.

```

5618

```

How cleverly and powerfully

The doubter in me

Exercises its ego-power.

```

5619

```

The mind enjoys

World-information-food.

The heart enjoys

God’s Compassion-Eye-Food. ```

5620

```

God’s Compassion-Eye can transform

Even the lowest sinner-mind

Into the highest sage-life.

```

5621

```

God has made

Each soul

His own Divinity’s masterpiece.

```

5622

```

At every moment

You must fight and fight

Against the strongest ignorance-current.

```

5623

```

Alas, how often our mind

Houses

Life-destruction-thoughts!

```

5624

```

God is waiting

For me to fly,

And I am waiting

For God to smile. ```

5625

```

There are many places

For my soul to live,

But it prefers living inside

My heart’s aspiration-flames. ```

5626

```

Cover immediately

Your foolishness-mind,

And enjoy at every moment

Your openness-heart. ```

5627

```

Wisdom can speak perfectly,

But it begs God

To speak in and through it.

```

5628

```

Divine dreams hold reality

Not only very dear

But also very near.

```

5629

```

Alas, in vain I have been trying

To come out of my mind’s

Nightmare-mire.

```

5630

```

My mind, I need no more

Explanations from you.

I need only one thing from you:

Expansion. ```

5631

```

To enjoy a rapid inner ascent,

We must empty our mind

Completely.

```

5632

```

Every day we must ignore

Our temptation-vital

Dauntlessly and ruthlessly.

```

5633

```

Too much, too much, too much!

My mind thinks too much.

My heart feels too much.

I hate my life too much. ```

5634

```

When my mind is fast asleep,

What does my heart do?

My heart enjoys playing

God’s Compassion-Flute. ```

5635

```

The moment a dreamer of peace

Visits God’s Compassion-Palace,

He immediately receives

A sweeter than the sweetest

Smile from God.

```

5636

```

Do not say that you want to surrender

Ultimately,

But declare that you want to surrender

Immediately, plus completely. ```

5637

```

My insecurity does not miss

Any opportunity

To take away my heart-joy.

```

5638

```

His God-surrender-joy

Permeates each and every action

Of his.

```

5639

```

Today’s climbing prayer

Will tomorrow reach

God’s Illumination-Tower

Without fail. ```

5640

```

A oneness-lover

Has an ever-expanding heart

And an ever-widening mind.

```

5641

```

My patience is my revealed

God-manifestation-

Determination-promise.

```

5642

```

I do not long for

God’s Love-Height,

But I do long for

God’s Forgiveness-Depth. ```

5643

```

I live on my heart’s

Helpless tears.

I live on my Lord’s

Nectar-Smiles. ```

5644

```

When my mind does not obey God,

I am forced to live in a bed

Of hurtful thorns.

```

5645

```

May my mind always

Live in the land of inspiration.

May my heart always

Live in the land of aspiration.

May my life always

Live in the land of dedication.

May I always

Live in the land of self-purification. ```

5646

```

To adorn my life’s shrine,

I need both my heart-tears

And my God-Smiles.

```

5647

```

O my mind,

Every morning you take

A full breath of optimism;

O my heart,

Every morning you take

A full breath of dynamism —

To please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way. ```

5648

```

My Lord has blessed me

With sleepless heart-tears

And what do I see in Him?

His all-embracing, self-giving Heart. ```

5649

```

My seeker-friend,

You are destined

Not only to discover God,

But also to become another God

At God’s choice Hour.

```

5650

```

O my sleepless God-hunger,

You are the only hero in my life

Whom I adore.

```

5651

```

Each time we embark on a new project

For God-manifestation,

God blesses us

With a most powerful Smile —

Long before we place our victory

At His Feet. ```

5652

```

When I ask my Lord to wake up

And talk to me, He tells me:

“My child, when did I go to sleep?

It is you who are fast asleep

And not talking to Me!”

```

5653

```

O forces of failure,

Do you think I will give you satisfaction?

Never.

Not even an iota of satisfaction!

I shall definitely be crowned

With success. ```

5654

```

Yesterday I thought God was upstairs.

Today I see God is not only on my floor,

But also in my room, inviting me to play

Hide-and-seek with Him. ```

5655

```

God tells the sincere seekers

That He does not approve of

Their slightest postponement.

```

5656

```

God does not want to frighten us.

He just wants to enlighten us

In His own Way.

```

5657

```

The smallest act

Of self-offering to God

Can easily smite

Our mind’s doubt-tree. ```

5658

```

God knows no preferences.

But He does know the excellence

Of God-seekers

Who definitely deserve His Closeness

And Nearness.

```

5659

```

When impatience assails us,

We blindfold our eyes

And see not the arrival of light.

```

5660

```

If you fail to subdue your passion,

You will not be able to remove

Your mind-clouds.

```

5661

```

Can you not see, O seeker-friend,

That your iron self-discipline of the past

Has made your life infinitely easier

While you are walking along the road

Of perfection and satisfaction?

```

5662

```

Do not blame your circumstances

If your own aspiration-seed

Is lying indefinitely dormant.

```

5663

```

It is not a bad thing

To stimulate your curiosity,

But you must not stop

At curiosity.

You have to go further and further

To enter into

Your God-necessity-sincerity.

```

5664

```

God’s Grace descended,

And the uncomely thoughts of his mind

Disappeared like storm clouds.

```

5665

```

In the clear space

Between my surrender-life

And my gratitude-heart,

I see my Lord smiling, singing

And dancing.

```

5666

```

Cheerfully and self-givingly

He bends his all

To the Will of God.

```

5667

```

Do not turn your back on God.

He is your Friend,

Your true Friend

And only Friend. ```

5668

```

When I enter into my mind,

What I invariably see

Is a huge wave of restlessness.

```

5669

```

When I enter into my heart,

What I immediately see, feel

And become

Is a sea of peacefulness. ```

5670

```

Yesterday I flew in my mind-sky

On wings of imagination.

Today I am flying in my heart-sky

On wings of inspiration.

Tomorrow I shall fly in my soul-sky

On wings of God-realisation. ```

5671

```

What an undivine mind we have!

We see that God is waiting, waiting,

Waiting for us,

But we have no affection for Him,

We have no concern for Him.

We live in our self-indulgence-pride. ```

5672

```

Choose your spiritual Master wisely,

If you decide to choose.

Give yourself entirely to him,

If you at all want to give. ```

5673

```

Only God’s unconditional Grace

Can do this for me:

I keep meeting His Compassion-Eye

Wherever I go today. ```

5674

```

How fortunate I am!

Today God is chasing away

My mind-thief and my vital-culprit.

```

5675

```

If you have the power of love,

Use it time and again

As long as you want to.

But if you have the love of power,

Do not manifest it.

```

5676

```

There is always a divine choice:

Either we shall pay all our attention

To God’s Miracles

To God’s Compassion.

```

5677

```

In the inner world

They ask me

Not what I have done,

But whose I am. ```

5678

```

We do not know why we enjoy

Not only strange necessities

But also

Worthless and useless necessities. ```

5679

```

No matter how undivine and hostile

A human being is,

There cannot be a total eclipse

Of his soul. ```

5680

```

When we live

Only in past happiness-days,

We double our present pain.

```

5681

```

When my heart

Wants to feel something,

I get joy.

When my mind

Wants to doubt something,

I get joy.

Alas, why do I accept

Both positive and negative aspects

Of my life?

My life should be only for the positive! ```

5682

```

What is human life,

If not the union

Of bombastic words

And empty talk? ```

5683

```

Your life shall blossom

Like roses in your heart-garden,

If you kindle the flames

In your aspiration-heart-temple. ```

5684

```

My mind’s darkness,

No matter how thick it is,

Has to give way to my heart’s light,

However little it is. ```

5685

```

My mind’s confusion-thunder

Is frightening the angels

In my heart-garden.

```

5686

```

God tells me that He treasures

My life’s simplicity,

My mind’s sincerity

And my heart’s purity. ```

5687

```

What indefinitely delays

My God-realisation?

My mind’s volcano-pride!

```

5688

```

God loved you.

You loved God.

God continues to love you,

But you have withdrawn your love

From God.

God will remember this;

God will remember this!

```

5689

```

When I enter into God’s Heart-Boat,

I immediately see

That God has replaced

His Greatness with His Goodness. ```

5690

```

If you want to have an infinite series

Of God-experiences,

Then each moment of your life,

Dedicate yourself unconditionally

To God’s Will.

```

5691

```

Emotional detachment has to be valued

If we want to strengthen

Our devotional attachment to God.

```

5692

```

Can you not see

What you have in your mind?

You have a destructive speed-demon

That will devour you before long. ```

5693

```

If your heart-eye is streaming

With tears of devotion,

God-realisation will not remain

A far cry. ```

5694

```

May my life be flooded

With aspiration-dedication-promises

To fulfil God the Creator

And God the creation

As soon as possible.

```

5695

```

May my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Remain bent all the time

To touch the Lotus-Feet

Of the Lord Supreme.

```

5696

```

No ear can ever be as deaf

As a disobedience-ear

To God’s Compassion-flooded

Message-Light. ```

5697

```

In the spiritual life,

A seeker always has to feel

That his life is permanently endorsed

By God’s divine Presence. ```

5698

```

My life has value

Only when it sings

Soulful joy-songs

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme. ```

5699

```

My Lord Supreme,

I have been praying to You

To open my heart’s silence-door

To welcome Your Silence-Smiles. ```

5700

```

God’s magic Touch

Can transform

Even the desert-mind

Into an aspiration-fountain-heart. ```

5701

```

God tells me

That He wants to live only on

My self-giving to His universe.

```

5702

```

Who else will be able

To uproot the deep-rooted

Ignorance-life-tree,

If not the God-seekers? ```

5703

```

I tell my doubt-mind

That it is an unwelcome

Travelling companion.

```

5704

```

May my life stand between

The beauty

Of my God-realisation

And the fragrance

Of my God-manifestation.

```

5705

```

If we all cherish

Our life’s ingratitude-mind,

Then it will be an unimaginable loss

For our God-hunger. ```

5706

```

I want to see

The smiling and dancing child

In my heart-garden.

But alas, what do I see?

A devouring dragon-frown

Inside my mind-jungle! ```

5707

```

My Lord,

Your Scolding creates

A genuine hunger

For Your Smile. ```

5708

```

When I am in the physical presence

Of my Master,

His greatness tells me

What I shall eventually become,

And his goodness tells me

What I eternally am:

His Eternity’s choice instrument.

```

5709

```

My mind-jungle

Is the last place to look

For my soul’s smile.

```

5710

```

You are not conscious of the fact

That the great illusion

Has closed your eyes

With your permission.

Remember this.

```

5711

```

My heart cries and cries with gratitude

When God’s Smiles come down

To feed my heart.

```

5712

```

My Lord, before I even offer You

My heart-gratitude-flower,

You bring me Your Heart’s

Satisfaction-Fruit. ```

5713

```

With an eager heart

I have been waiting

For my mind’s transformation.

With a smiling heart

I shall continue to wait

Until my mind’s transformation dawns. ```

5714

```

We cannot believe

That God’s Compassion-Eye

Is attracted to our helplessness.

```

5715

```

O my heart, wake up, wake up!

Can you not see that our Lord Supreme

Is waiting for you to learn

An ever-new soul-song and soul-dance

From Him?

```

5716

```

I wanted to show my Lord Supreme

My heart-cottage.

My Lord Supreme told me:

“My child, first come and see

My Heart-Palace,

Which is your real home, only home.” ```

5717

```

When I take my spiritual life

Seriously,

God increases His Love for me

Immeasurably. ```

5718

```

Alas, meaningless thoughts

And worthless ideas

Are ruling the entire world.

```

5719

```

The earth-bound time

Is ceaselessly crying

For the Heaven-free hour

In vain. ```

5720

```

Man creates disaster after disaster

For himself.

What does God do?

God tries to save man

Each and every time.

```

5721

```

When we love God

With our heart’s gratitude-tears,

God tells us:

“My child, My Infinity’s Smiles

Are for you.

They are all yours!” ```

5722

```

Before you go to sleep,

You must pray to God

For a prayerful, cheerful awakening.

```

5723

```

When we pray and meditate,

We feel a new life

And hear a new message

With each breath. ```

5724

```

Be careful!

Do not cut jokes

With disobedience-darkness.

```

5725

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Has transformed my volcano-mind

Into my peace-flower-heart-garden.

```

5726

```

A seeker’s most sacred possession:

The dust-atoms

Of his Master’s feet.

```

5727

```

Do not be unnecessarily involved

In others’ problems,

But be immediately involved

In others’ sorrows. ```

5728

```

Every day I invite my mind

To come and play

With my oneness-heart,

But my mind deliberately

And pointedly refuses.

```

5729

```

Whether you look upward or inward,

You are bound to see

The same Sunshine-Smiles

From God’s Eye. ```

5730

```

It seems that each human life

Is a victim

To intermittent

Depression-frustration-showers. ```

5731

```

If you are planning to advance

Each step in your spiritual life

With great hesitation,

Then your Goal will always remain

A far cry.

```

5732

```

We are tortured ruthlessly

Even by the smaller than the smallest

Doubt-dragon.

```

5733

```

God literally begs His children

To make all possible attempts

To amuse Him every day.

But alas, somehow we do not succeed! ```

5734

```

If your heart becomes a devotion-flower,

Then your mind will not suffer

Long spells of spiritual dryness.

```

5735

```

There can be no spiritual life on earth

That is beyond correction

And beyond perfection.

```

5736

```

Every day, with bated breath,

I long for my Lord’s

Clear and unmistakable Presence

Inside my heart-garden. ```

5737

```

My mind is finally ready

To be fully awakened,

Like my God-oneness-heart.

```

5738

```

Every day

You must compel your mind

To avoid

Disobedience-highway. ```

5739

```

Practise every day

Readiness, willingness

And eagerness-exercises

To become the strongest soldier

In God’s Army.

```

5740

```

God is really fond

Of your heart-hope

More than anything else.

```

5741

```

When I meditate on the sunset-silence,

I see that God’s Peace-Boat

Is sailing towards me

Fast, very fast. ```

5742

```

If you have a suspicion-mind

In your spiritual life,

Then you are bound to feel

That you have nowhere to live

And you have nowhere to go.

```

5743

```

At the very start of my spiritual journey,

God told me that there would be

No station-stop,

Because the journey itself

Is ever-inspiring, ever-illumining

And ever-fulfilling. ```

5744

```

As long as we do not protest

The mind’s leadership,

We are bound to miss the ecstasy

Of our fountain-heart. ```

5745

```

My Lord, may my heart-tears

Be as infinite

As Your Heart-Smiles eternally are.

```

5746

```

O my heart, look, look!

Sweet thoughts are descending

From Above

To revive you from your amnesia. ```

5747

```

My Lord tells me

That His Compassion-Eye

Will enable me

To transform my desire-elephant

Into an aspiration-deer.

```

5748

```

Perfection will dawn

Only when all human beings

Sing, play and dance

In unison. ```

5749

```

Your God-dreams

Will save you

From all your mind-disasters.

```

5750

```

A true seeker will definitely

Be helped by God

To disperse his life’s mist.

```

5751

```

Look at the world

Prayerfully, soulfully and affectionately

If you want the world

To make progress. ```

5752

```

We must serve our Lord Supreme

With sterling devotion

To make the fastest progress.

```

5753

```

My Lord Supreme

Is far away from me

Precisely because I claim

My superiority over others. ```

5754

```

Always long for speed.

If not, the slow death of stagnation

Will capture you.

```

5755

```

My Lord,

At every moment of my life

I shall fulfil

Your supreme Command. ```

5756

```

The culmination of aspiration

Is God-realisation.

The culmination of God-realisation

Is God-manifestation.

The culmination of God-manifestation

Is humanity’s total transformation. ```

5757

```

You can stand far above

The dictates of morality.

But you must never dare

To stand far above

The dictates of spirituality,

For spirituality is inseparable oneness

With God’s Will.

```

5758

```

What determines our rebirth?

God’s Vision-Eye

And our soul’s God-acceptance-delight.

```

5759

```

When we become absolutely one

With God’s Will,

Imperishable and infallible truths

Become ours. ```

5760

```

I do not pray

For a man-made palace.

I pray

For a God-made heart-cottage. ```

5761

```

Every day,

Either consciously or unconsciously,

So many human beings

Are starving their souls.

Yet their souls continue to forgive

Their body, vital, mind and heart. ```

5762

```

The more we enjoy expectation,

The heavier becomes

Our mind’s frustration.

```

5763

```

Desire-prompted actions

Are nothing other than

Himalayan blunders.

```

5764

```

Happy are those

Who follow their Master.

Happier are those

Who follow and love their Master.

Happiest are those

Who follow, love and surrender

Their very existence to their Master.

```

5765

```

My Lord,

You have been leading my soul

For millennia.

Will You not lead my body, vital,

Mind and heart from now on?

```

5766

```

Opportunity beckons us

Quite often,

But we do not pay any heed to it.

```

5767

```

We can bury all our problems

If we strengthen our faith in God

And multiply our love for God.

```

5768

```

We do not have to understand

The power of the Goal.

We just have to become one

With the beauty and perfection

Of the Goal.

```

5769

```

The wisdom of the ancients

Was self-discovery.

The wisdom of the moderns

Is science-mastery. ```

5770

```

What is pride?

It is something that will eventually

Trample its possessor.

```

5771

```

You want to go out

And see the world.

God wants you to come home

And become the world. ```

5772

```

Instead of trying to demolish your life,

You must face life

And make it infinitely better

By bringing down God’s Grace. ```

5773

```

Happiness

Is an inner journey

From one world to another.

```

5774

```

Aspiration

Is the pride of religion.

Dedication

Is the pride of science. ```

5775

```

Although our questions about God

Are faulty,

We all expect proper answers.

```

5776

```

What does it take

To have a self-giving life?

It takes a combination

Of determination and patience. ```

5777

```

Every day

I must look at the world

With the freshness

Of my Lord’s Eye

And with the fulness

Of my Lord’s Heart. ```

5778

```

How breathtaking it is

To see my heart

Playing, singing and dancing

With the morning rainbow-beauty! ```

5779

```

Every day

My soul is helping my heart

To climb to God’s Satisfaction-Summit.

```

5780

```

Not God’s Justice-Mind,

But God’s Compassion-Eye

Sleeplessly guards the border

Between earth-cries and Heaven-Smiles. ```

5781

```

O seeker,

Do not forget that each new day

Is a golden God-Arrival-opportunity-day.

```

5782

```

We all live

In the mind-world of earning.

But God wants us to live

In the heart-world of learning. ```

5783

```

My heart does not have to prove

That it lives in God.

But my mind has to prove

At every moment

That it lives in God.

```

5784

```

God sheds uncontrollable Tears

When He sees

That I leave no stone unturned

To dwarf all my

Aspiration-dedication-friends.

```

5785

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Has repeatedly told me

That I do not have to knock

At His Heart-Door

To come in.

He has said to me:

“My child, you have a free access

To My Heart.

I am always eager to greet you

Happily, blessingfully and proudly.” ```

5786

```

My ceaseless self-discovery-hunger

Has silenced

My storm-tossed, sleepless days

And nights. ```

5787

```

Aspire, seeker, aspire!

Breathlessly aspire!

Do not allow

Your God-manifestation-dream

To expire.

```

5788

```

A sleeplessly self-giving life

Is very close

To the summit-height of Heaven.

```

5789

```

A God-surrendered mind

Is not afraid

Of even an avalanche of thoughts.

```

5790

```

My smiles conceal

The human in me.

My tears reveal

The divine in me. ```

5791

```

Every morning and every evening

My soul teaches me

How to listen

To its soundless sound-whispers. ```

5792

```

Neither God’s tall Order

Nor His sorrowful Pleas

Can change

My ignorance-addicted mind. ```

5793

```

God dearly treasures

Even my fleeting oneness

With His Will.

```

5794

```

When my mind and I

Live together,

We live in the land of talkers.

```

5795

```

When my heart and I

Live together,

We live in the land of self-givers.

```

5796

```

I am not as simple, as sincere

And as pure as my ancestors of old.

Nevertheless, my Lord tells me

That I shall manifest His Light

Infinitely more than my ancestors did.

What else is my Lord’s

Compassion-Miracle-Performance?

```

5797

```

No more my mind

Shall disobey God.

No more my vital

Shall deny God.

No more my body

Shall delay God.

No more my life

Shall starve God. ```

5798

```

God comes not

To brick-stone-temples.

He frequents only

Heart-devotion-breath-temples. ```

5799

```

When I invoke God

With my heart’s love-tears,

He immediately starts running

His fastest towards me,

His Destination,

To give me His proudest Embrace. ```

5800

```

My gratitude-heart-river

I have offered to my Lord Supreme.

Every morning He comes

And enjoys fishing. ```

5801

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Forgiveness-Heart

Is my happiness-kingdom.

```

5802

```

God’s Smiles melt

My heart.

They do not break

My heart. ```

5803

```

My Lord,

Your Eye brightens my hope

And

Enlightens my promise. ```

5804

```

When God the Compassion invites you,

Receive His Invitation immediately

And

Do not forget to take with you

Your silence-mind.

```

5805

```

My life-boat plies

Between my heart’s streaming tears

And

My soaring smiles. ```

5806

```

What this world needs

Is a constant peace-dreamer

And sleepless God-lover.

```

5807

```

My Lord,

How I wish at every moment

Your Forgiveness-Magnet

Would pull my heart. ```

5808

```

My Lord,

I have become

The dust of Your Feet.

What more do I need? ```

5809

```

Your aspiration is high

And

Your dedication is sincere.

Therefore, Eternity’s ocean

And Infinity’s sun

Shall welcome you. ```

5810

```

My Lord,

Keep me always inside

Your blessingful and powerful Dream.

```

5811

```

Does God live close enough to you?

If He does not,

Cry like a child,

Smile like a child.

Lo, God is available everywhere for you.

```

5812

```

I always listen to

My Lord’s

Oneness-heart-spokesman.

```

5813

```

The God-dividing mind

Will never be invited

By the angels

To come to God’s Palace. ```

5814

```

God definitely wants you

To harvest

Your heart’s hopes.

```

5815

```

When I feel that

God is pleased with me,

I keep all my thoughts

Clinging to His Feet. ```

5816

```

My soul is helplessly alarmed

At my life’s

Sadness-sigh.

```

5817

```

My heart-hunger’s only feast

Is my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye.

```

5818

```

God’s Satisfaction-Feet

Have given me a free ticket

To enter into the heart

Of Infinity’s Bliss. ```

5819

```

A river of enthusiasm

Is carrying my life

To Infinity’s ocean,

Singing, “Yes, yes and yes.” ```

5820

```

I am so happy

That my heart-house

Is full of

Blossoming hopes. ```

5821

```

The modern world

Thinks that it can live

Without the deepening depth.

```

5822

```

The modern world

Thinks that it cannot live

Without the conquering breadth.

```

5823

```

God is God’s

Loving Presence-Response

When my prayer’s name

Is soulfulness. ```

5824

```

Pray and meditate!

Your mind is not meant for

Uncomely thoughts.

Your mind is meant to be

A choice instrument of God. ```

5825

```

May my aspiration-heart

Be anchored

To the highest planet.

```

5826

```

In every fibre of my soul,

God’s Compassion,

God’s Protection

And

God’s Satisfaction I feel.

```

5827

```

If a seeker’s life is empty

Of God-dreams,

Then he cannot succeed.

```

5828

```

I am desperately trying to revive

My God-sweetness-memories

Long past.

```

5829

```

Each God-realised soul

Happily, proudly and self-givingly

Endorses God’s Dream

For the sorrowful earth. ```

5830

```

Challenge complacency

If you want to include

An extra supply of God-energy

In your life. ```

5831

```

God’s secret and sacred Whispers

Show us the way

To God’s Ecstasy.

```

5832

```

I never have a sense of completeness

In my life

When I miss

God’s inner Presence. ```

5833

```

Deep meditation means

God-satisfaction

Lovingly, soulfully and self-givingly.

```

5834

```

May my heart’s happiness-breath

Become a choice instrument

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

5835

```

If you cannot conform your will

To God’s Will,

You are bound to fail miserably

In your spiritual life. ```

5836

```

There was a time

When I was caught

In the meshes of the mind,

But now I am a citizen

Of my heart-delight.

```

5837

```

God asks you to pay

Sleepless and breathless attention

To your heart’s inner cry.

```

5838

```

My mind,

Keep your thoughts silent.

Keep your words silent.

Keep everything that you have

And you are silent

To make me and my heart

Extremely happy.

```

5839

```

If you do not welcome

God-ordained humiliation,

Then how can you make

The fastest progress? ```

5840

```

May the storm of the senses

No more dare to near

My aspiration-heart.

```

5841

```

Be brave!

Do not allow yourself

To be at the mercy

Of torrential thoughts. ```

5842

```

The doubting world

Must not stop you

On your way to God’s Palace.

```

5843

```

God assures me

That my heart’s inspiration-bird

Will return

And fly again once more

In my soul-sky.

```

5844

```

The small “i” enjoys

Its stubbornness.

The big “I” enjoys

Its God-oneness and world-oneness. ```

5845

```

Be always fluent

In your heart’s

Love-devotion-surrender-languages.

```

5846

```

The finishing touch

Is called

A God-satisfaction-surrender-breath.

```

5847

```

God never says that it is easy

To unload human problems.

But He says that human problems

Can definitely be surmounted

If patience can be all the time

Available. ```

5848

```

Poor God is surprised

To see

The mind’s self-aggrandisement-ability.

```

5849

```

Self-doubters obstruct

God-aspiration

And

God-dedication-speed. ```

5850

```

Receptivity-durability

Has to be increased

In every human being

In every way. ```

5851

```

If you are armed

With boundless peace,

You can please God

In every way single-handed. ```

5852

```

God does not allow

A sincerity-heart

To make repeated mistakes.

```

5853

```

God wants me to serve Him

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

Before I can claim

A safe seat at His Feet. ```

5854

```

Alas,

My God-satisfaction-cries

Are so feeble, plus so late.

```

5855

```

O my pride-mind,

Have you any idea

How foolishly you waste

Your time? ```

5856

```

Only when God feeds

My hunger-heart

Am I fully satisfied.

```

5857

```

March forward

Like a supreme hero

With a God-manifestation-drum.

```

5858

```

God tells me

That what I was before

Is of no consequence.

He tells me

That what I am now

Is a matter of supreme importance. ```

5859

```

God-realisation-victory

Is, indeed, a very slow

And

Steady process. ```

5860

```

God wants me to sing

All the time,

Whenever I am with Him,

His Heaven-manifestation-song on earth. ```

5861

```

My devotion-heart pleases God

More than anything else

That I have.

```

5862

```

Finally

Lethargy, insecurity and impurity

Have found a new host.

They have left me

To remain all by myself.

```

5863

```

My heart hopes for

A brighter future.

My soul promises

A more God-fulfilling manifestation. ```

5864

```

To free yourself

From the shadow of doubt

And fear,

Climb up the aspiration-height

Accompanied by God’s Eye.

```

5865

```

God wants me to grow and glow

In the aspiration-heart

Of the New Millennium.

```

5866

```

How can God be pleased with you

And proud of you

If you live in the thick

Of a disobedience-hurricane? ```

5867

```

My God-searching mind

Rises and rises,

And

God secretly smiles and smiles. ```

5868

```

My world-doubting mind

Sinks and sinks.

Nobody comes to its rescue,

Not even God. ```

5869

```

What my life needs

Is nothing short of

A constantly flowing aspiration-river.

```

5870

```

O aspiration-determination-lightning,

Please do not forget

My mind anymore.

```

5871

```

Ignorance forces

My Godward path

To be narrower than the narrowest.

```

5872

```

A clear mind and a strong faith

Can be of tremendous help

For humanity’s fastest progress.

```

5873

```

O my unwillingness-mind,

You are destroying

My life’s God-service-blossoms.

```

5874

```

My devotion-heart

And

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Are extremely dear to each other. ```

5875

```

My disobedience-life

Is destroying my heart’s

Rainbow-dawn.

```

5876

```

Sweeter than the sweetest,

Purer than the purest

Are

My gratitude-heart-tears. ```

5877

```

An aspiration-heart

Its own fountain-life-joy.

```

5878

```

What I was,

Was for my personal use.

What I am now

Is only for God’s personal Use. ```

5879

```

Alas, will I ever have

An opportune moment

When I shall be able to explore

All my divine dimensions? ```

5880

```

To dismiss the ignorance-prince

Is not the most difficult task.

Many have done, many will do.

What is wrong with you?

You can try and you will succeed.

```

5881

```

God has appointed my heart

To collect the devotion-letters

From my mind, vital and body

And

Submit them to God Himself

On a daily basis. ```

5882

```

The evolution of mankind

Is upward —

High, higher and highest.

```

5883

```

God says He will never agree

To give up on

Any human being.

```

5884

```

My heart’s songs

Are all made of

My life’s prayer-tears.

```

5885

```

My soul’s breath

Is created by God the Creator

To be of service to God the creation.

```

5886

```

He who has accepted spirituality

Wholeheartedly

Will not sigh.

It is only the half-hearted seekers

Who are bound to sigh.

```

5887

```

Purity, purity, purity!

It will save you

From many hostile attacks

In the inner world. ```

5888

```

We are thinking of offering

Our gratitude-hearts to God.

God is thinking of

How He can make us happy. ```

5889

```

The mind-clown

Will never be able to enjoy

The ecstasy of silence.

```

5890

```

The stupidity-mind says

To the wisdom-heart:

“You are a hopeless case.”

```

5891

```

He who is my heart-friend

Shall endlessly

Care for me.

```

5892

```

Fly, fly, O my mind,

Upward towards

The summit-height-bliss.

```

5893

```

At last I know the way,

The only way:

My heart’s self-giving way.

```

5894

```

O golden eye of silence-light,

My aspiration-heart loves you

And

My dedication-life needs you. ```

5895

```

O my doubting mind,

My heart sleeplessly loves

My Lord Supreme.

Are you not ashamed of

What you are doing?

```

5896

```

No more shall I roam

Inside my confusion-mind-jungle,

No more.

```

5897

```

No mind’s

Transformation-light,

No heart’s

Satisfaction-delight. ```

5898

```

My life is a secret

And sacred

Descendent of God.

```

5899

```

I have smashed asunder

The ramparts

Of my illusion-delusion-mind.

```

5900

```

When prosperity smiles

At your life,

Slowly, steadily and unerringly

Use it. ```

5901

```

My God-surrender-life is complete.

Therefore God Himself rings

My freedom-heart-bell.

```

5902

```

An unconditional life

Is a supremely monumental

Life-performance.

```

5903

```

Be not enamoured

Of possession-mind,

But of renunciation-life.

```

5904

```

At every moment

I try to elevate my mind

To God-good thoughts.

```

5905

```

No rest

Is ever needed

Along God’s Way.

```

5906

```

God never wants

Love-power

To have any equal.

```

5907

```

Meditation

Means

Fragrance-blossom-heart-petals.

```

5908

```

Without a rich heart,

Wealth

Is a pathetic life.

```

5909

```

In the morning of love-light

My prayer reaches

The highest height.

```

5910

```

In the evening of peace-bliss

My meditation reaches

The deepest depth.

```

5911

```

My heart’s implicit faith in God

Has given me

The most powerful shelter

From my mind-storms. ```

5912

```

My God-surrender-heart

Is my life’s

Fastest progress-track.

```

5913

```

Precious is

The renunciation-life

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

5914

```

Ferocious is

My earthly

Mind-aggression-possession.

```

5915

```

No seeker must tolerate

His mind’s

Aspiration-unwillingness.

```

5916

```

Every morning my Lord

Blessingfully commands

My aspiration-heart-ascent.

```

5917

```

An inspiration-mind

Needs

No explanation.

```

5918

```

An aspiration-heart

Needs

No interpretation.

```

5919

```

O stupidity-mind,

Can you not see

That you are prolonging

The reign of ignorance-monarch? ```

5920

```

An acceptable

Indulgence-life

Is a joke number one.

```

5921

```

No more my heart

Shall remain

A dim aspiration-flame.

```

5922

```

Only inside my heart-garden

Dwells

My aspiration-redolence.

```

5923

```

I shall not permit

Anything in my life

To grow taller and larger

Than my humility. ```

5924

```

Infinity’s Satisfaction

Is the Alpha and Omega

Of God’s Will.

```

5925

```

God is extremely proud

Of my

Willingness-sincerity-mind.

```

5926

```

God is extremely fond

Of my

Eagerness-intensity-heart.

```

5927

```

My mind’s God-willingness

Has transformed my life

Immeasurably.

```

5928

```

Insecurity destroys

The life

Of the mind.

```

5929

```

Impurity destroys

The breath

Of the heart.

```

5930

```

God-obedience

Is the completion

Of my self-education.

```

5931

```

My God-satisfaction-heart

Is far beyond

My mind’s longitude

And latitude. ```

5932

```

Needed: a sincerity-mind-bud

To enter into

The outer temple.

```

5933

```

Needed: a purity-heart-blossom

To enter into

The inner temple.

```

5934

```

Humanity’s God-obedience

Is humanity’s

Only salvation.

```

5935

```

God’s Heart does not allow

God’s Eye to examine

My mind’s closets and cabinets.

```

5936

```

The impurity-mind threatens

The purity-heart

All the time.

```

5937

```

God’s Power-Presence

My mind

Strongly desires.

```

5938

```

God’s Compassion-Presence

My heart

Sleeplessly desires.

```

5939

```

God wrote His Peace-Book

Not only for my heart

But for my mind as well.

```

5940

```

A dryness-mind

Is not allowed to study

At God’s inner School.

```

5941

```

A soulfulness-heart

Is not only allowed but invited

To study at God’s School.

```

5942

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart-Office

Remains open

Twenty-four hours.

```

5943

```

The narrowness-mind-eye

Sees Partiality-God

Everywhere.

```

5944

```

The wideness-heart-eye

Sees Equality-God

Everywhere.

```

5945

```

My gratitude-heart

Is a newcomer

To my Lord’s Heart-Home.

```

5946

```

Alas, why do I not believe God

When He tells me that

He is always ready to defend me

Against ignorance-night? ```

5947

```

No earth-bound life

Can ever

Battle time.

```

5948

```

To be perfect,

God asked me to smile

At His creation.

I did it immediately. ```

5949

```

My heart’s streaming tears

Are intimately related

To my Lord’s Lotus-Feet.

```

5950

```

My God-devotion

Knows

No failure-life.

```

5951

```

An ignorance-cherishing life itself

Is its own

Imminent doom.

```

5952

```

Mine is

An everyday

God-satisfaction-cry.

```

5953

```

Mine is

An everyday

Man-transformation-aspiration.

```

5954

```

My faith has given me

Its beauty’s heart

Unreservedly.

```

5955

```

My faith gives me

Its God-manifestation-responsibility

Confidently.

```

5956

```

A godless man

Is his own

Mind-forest-fear-torture.

```

5957

```

My soul wants me to be

A God-Destination-adventure-hero

Supreme.

```

5958

```

My Lord Supreme comes to me

To navigate

And not to investigate.

```

5959

```

Unwillingness,

You are your own

Tragedy within

And tragedy without. ```

5960

```

Willingness,

You are your own

Life-kingdom’s master-key.

```

5961

```

God draws my devotion-heart

To His ever-illumining

Compassion-Heart.

```

5962

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Expects my searching mind

To know better.

```

5963

```

Every day my Beloved Supreme

Expects my aspiring heart

To climb up higher.

```

5964

```

The unaspiring mind

Is negativity’s

Argument-dexterity.

```

5965

```

May my heart’s

Be this goal:

To love the unloved.

```

5966

```

Humiliation

Chases pride

And succeeds.

```

5967

```

What do you want

To see in me?

God the Power?

Impossible. ```

5968

```

What do you want

To see in me?

God the Surrender?

Behold,

Here He is.

```

5969

```

Where do I want to go?

My heart-home

And nowhere else.

```

5970

```

My heart’s ever-blossoming purity

Is my passport

To God’s Kingdom.

```

5971

```

What have I discovered?

I have discovered

God’s Fountain-Bounty.

```

5972

```

Mine is the bounden duty

To bring dead hopes

To life.

```

5973

```

My mind, not you,

But all your doubts

I condemn to death.

```

5974

```

The God-aspiring heart

Always outruns

The God-doubting mind.

```

5975

```

Do not avoid trials and tribulations.

Face them.

Lo, they are in the land of nowhere.

```

5976

```

May my mind be

A perfect foreigner

To any doubt-industry.

```

5977

```

May my mind be

A perfect foreigner

To any fear-colony.

```

5978

```

Every morning

I expect my mind to be

A newness-vision.

```

5979

```

My Beloved Lord,

Do tell me,

When will be the proper time

For me to unlearn

All that my mind has taught me?

```

5980

```

I love and love

Peace-dream within

And

Bliss-reality without. ```

5981

```

I love God

Unreservedly.

God fulfils my dreams

Unconditionally. ```

5982

```

Needless to say,

Each human being

With no exception

Is totally free in his spirit. ```

5983

```

Gone

Are my emptiness-insecurities,

Gone, totally gone.

```

5984

```

My Lord,

I am all gratitude to You

For blessing me

With Your Delight-flooded Heart. ```

5985

```

A negativity-mind

Is, indeed,

A dead-end road.

```

5986

```

All-where

Disobedience is

An uninvited guest.

```

5987

```

My heart is all eagerness

To kiss the dust

Of God’s Footsteps.

```

5988

```

O my mind,

Just mount and ride

My heart’s aspiration-horse.

```

5989

```

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Today God is planting peace-trees

Inside my heart-garden.

```

5990

```

What am I doing?

I am just having a short talk

With my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

5991

```

My mind, keep always

A longer than the longest distance

From ignorance-night.

```

5992

```

My heart’s satisfaction-smile

Is my Lord’s

Number one choice.

```

5993

```

Smile powerfully.

Cry soulfully.

Hearken, God’s Thunder-Applause!

```

5994

```

Fly, fly non-stop upward.

God the Eye

Is secretly waiting for you.

```

5995

```

Dive, dive non-stop inward.

God the Heart

Is breathlessly waiting for you.

```

5996

```

My Lord, do bless me

With a very special Promise:

You will always have the last word

In my aspiration-life. ```

5997

```

The mind’s philosophy is:

Give not happiness,

But expect happiness.

```

5998

```

The heart’s philosophy is:

Give happiness.

Become happily and proudly

What God wants you to be. ```

5999

```

The soul’s philosophy is:

Give happiness constantly,

Give happiness unreservedly,

Give happiness unconditionally. ```

6000

```

God has chosen

My God-realisation-soul

To rock this world

In His Peace-Cradle. ```
