1001

Dear to my Lord
Is my aspiration-heart.
Dearer to my Lord
Is my surrender-life.
Dearest to my Lord
Is my gratitude-breath.

1002

If your mind climbs up the pride-ladder,
Your life before long
Will fade into obscurity
And your heart will not be rediscovered
By Heaven’s Concern.

1003

True, he cannot control his mind.
But his life has surrendered to his heart.
Therefore, his life is anchored
In the Golden Boat of the Lord Supreme.

1004

His heart’s ever-blossoming hope
Is holding both ends
Of the Infinity-Rope
Of God’s Eternity.

1005

He lives in ignorance-night
With only the echoing memories
Of his soul’s long-lost promises.

1006

My Lord, destroy me!
If You do not want to destroy me,
At least destroy my mind’s hopelessness.
If you do not want to destroy
My mind’s hopelessness,
Please, please destroy
My heart’s helplessness.

1007

Your soul is asking you
To sleep in your life’s illumination-bed.
But what are you doing?
You are forcing your life
To lie beneath its annihilation-blanket.

1008

Finally his heart’s aspiration-life
Became so powerful
That it was able to totally paralyse
His mind’s desire-life.

1009

God will not be there to receive you
If you hurriedly reach
Your life’s finish line.
He will not only receive you
But also garland you and embrace you
If you slowly, steadily and soulfully reach
Your life’s finish line.

1010

What is wrong with you, my mind!
Why can’t you accept any defeat?
What is wrong with you, my heart!
Why are you afraid of winning
Continuous victories?

1011

If your heart is ready
To sparkle with eagerness,
Then God will definitely come
And stand right in front of you
With His Infinity’s Fulness.

1012

What is he doing?
He is sleeping with his rainbow-dream
Inside his silence-heart.
What else is he doing?
He is making the final revision
Of his surrender-life-script.

1013

You may not realise it,
But God is carrying you,
And you are quite heavy.
Perhaps it is beyond your imagination,
But God has also developed
Very serious back pain
Because of your weight.
Can you not lighten His Load and cure Him
With your obedience-surrender-medicine?
Try, you can!
You have simply no idea
How proud God will be of you
If you do.

1014

My heart has undertaken
A very difficult task.
It wants to guide
My mind’s irregular search for God.

1015

My mind struggles for satisfaction.
My heart struggles for perfection.
My soul struggles for my life’s
God-preparation.

1016

Do you want to hear
What you say during your sleep?
You say that you love God alone
And need God alone, nobody else.

1017

Your heart feels that God
Does not speak to it
Because it is imperfect.

Your mind thinks that God
Does not speak to it
Because it has already reached
Perfection-height.

1018

An infant-cry is the soulful lover
Of self-transcendence,
God-discovery
And God-satisfaction.

1019

Do you know God
Or do you just know about Him?
If you know God,
Then I shall immediately become yours.
But if you just know about God,
Then even if the entire world claims you,
I shall never become yours.

1020

Today you are a God-dreamer.
Tomorrow you will become
A Heaven-sprinter.
The day after tomorrow you will become
Your soul’s wonder-speed
And your Lord’s Victory-Smile.

1021

Something to give to my Lord Supreme:
My soul’s promise-delight.
Something to give to humanity:
My heart’s aspiration-might.

1022

My child, I wish to have
A friendly competition with you.
You will run against Me
With your life’s ignorance-sky,
And I shall run against you
With My Heart’s Compassion-Sun.

1023

His absurdity-philosophy:
True happiness can be found
Only in sorrow.
His stupidity-philosophy:
Happiness is sorrow
In disguise.

1024

Truth is neither easy nor difficult.
Truth is spontaneous, self-revealing
And God-revealing all at once.

1025

No satisfaction shines
Where division is king.
No imperfection abides
Where oneness is emperor.

1026

History’s exclamation mark:
Man’s moon-adventure.
History’s question mark:
Man’s dissatisfaction-hunger.

1027

My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacity
To need Your Heart.
My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the privilege
To love Your Life.

1028

Since time will not wait for me,
I also shall not wait for time.
I shall go ahead of time
With my soul’s silence-stillness-smile.

1029

My mind tells me
That my prayer-life
Is something strange
Yet quite familiar.
My heart tells me
That my meditation-life
Is always familiar
And never strange.

1030

My sweet child,
Early each morning
Instead of asking Me
Whether I love you,
Just ask yourself
Whether you need Me.

1031

O my body and vital,
Be not afraid of my mind’s greatness.
O my mind,
Be not afraid of my heart’s goodness.
O my heart,
Be not afraid of my soul’s oneness.
O my soul,
You are never afraid of my Lord’s Fulness.

1032

When a true God-lover
Cannot decide what to do
In his outer life,
God, out of His infinite Bounty,
Takes it as His bounden Duty
To help that person choose
The right thing to do.

1033

Something is wrong,
But I do not know what.
Perhaps my heart does not
Love God intensely any more.

Something is right,
But I do not know what.
Perhaps my mind has sincerely
Started longing for God at last.

1034

Where is my home?
My home is inside
My world’s possession-cry.
Where is my Lord’s Home?
My Lord’s Home is inside
His Eternity’s
Acceptance-Satisfaction-Smile.

1035

Your heart’s climbing cry
Is like a rope,
Longer than the longest,
Extending from earth to Heaven.
Once you start climbing that rope
Cheerfully and powerfully,
Who can prevent you from reaching
The highest perfection-satisfaction-height?

1036

Your Inner Pilot is telling you
That you will, without fail,
Make progress.
You fool!
Why are you consciously and deliberately
Trying to prove Him wrong?

1037

Pride and insecurity
Come from only one source: impurity.
He who is bloated with pride
And he who is insecurity incarnate
Are both absolutely useless.

1038

Purity has the capacity
To immediately destroy
Insecurity and pride.
Purity has the capacity
To immediately create
Oneness with God’s
Transcendental Will.

1039

Whoever experiences
His life’s surrender-smiles
As a permanent reality
Is undoubtedly the choicest instrument
Of his Beloved Supreme.

1040

If you are loyal to God
And take Him as your only Friend,
How can you have any serious problems?
Impossible!
Even your mind-problems
Will be taken care of
By His Heart’s Compassion-Concern-Sky.

1041

If your consciousness
Remains deep inside your heart
And you are constantly
Thinking of God,
Then all your problems will be solved,
Even if you simply ignore them.
Needless to say,
This applies only to you,
Since you are a soulfully sincere seeker.

1042

Three signs of progress:
To do something better
Than you have previously done it,
To maintain your standard,
To have a cheerful heart
Even if your standard goes down.

1043

For years you have neglected
Your teeming weaknesses.
But now that you want
To conquer them,
What you need
Is an ever-climbing heart-cry.

1044

Aspiration-fire is immediate purification.
It powerfully purifies
The sleeping body,
The strangling vital
And the doubting mind.

1045

In your life of service to humanity
Confidence is supremely good,
But do not develop
Disproportionate self-confidence,
Not to speak of pride and haughtiness.

1046

If you think that you are
Most graciously helping others,
You are badly mistaken.
You should feel that you are offering
Your service-smile
To the Supreme in others.

1047

If your service-life
Is only increasing your ego-power,
Then rest assured
You are a stark failure
In the inner world.

1048

Someday you will realise
That your Master is
The direct representative
Of the Supreme.
Someday you will realise
Your Master’s Eternity’s oneness
With the Supreme.

1049

He started with utmost sincerity
Trying to please the Supreme
In the Supreme’s own divine Way.
Alas, now he is shamelessly
Begging the Supreme to please him
In his own human way.

1050

Either please God
In His own Way
Or go back to your old life
Where your desire-fires
Reigned supreme.

1051

If you feel that God’s Way
Is not the only way,
And you have a totally different way,
Then why should anybody
Care to prevent you
From following your own way?

1052

True, nobody is indispensable.
But if you can please the Supreme
In His own Way,
Then He will definitely need you
Infinitely more than He needs
Anybody else.

1053

My Lord Supreme,
May I sleeplessly remember You.
I mean, Your Compassion-Eye.

My Lord Supreme,
May I sleeplessly remember
Your Compassion-Eye.
I mean, Your Forgiveness-Heart.

My Lord Supreme,
May I sleeplessly remember
Your Forgiveness-Heart.
I mean, Your Oneness-Life.

1054

My dreamer-eye,
My listener-heart,
My observer-soul,
My Liberator-God,
I enjoy your festival
Of Eternity’s Satisfaction-Sun.

1055

Purify your sound-breath,
Illumine your sound-life.
You will immediately feel
Ecstasy’s silence-embrace.

1056

They call it
My hermit-heart.
I call it
My divinity’s tapestry of truth.

1057

To make me happy
My Lord Supreme
Has kidnapped my heart.
To make me perfect
My Lord Supreme
Has granted me the Transformation-Flute
Of His Compassion-Light.

1058

O secret and sacred
Bird of my heart,
You have given me
Your indomitable inner strength
And freed me from
The bondage of fate.

1059

My impatient heart
Has become an incurable patient
Suffering inside
My aggressive vital-hospital.

1060

My sound-activity
Has pleased neither Heaven nor earth.
My silence-receptivity
Has at once pleased
Both Heaven’s eye and earth’s heart.

1061

You are aspiring to grow.
Indeed, this is a happy experience.
You are searching for truth.
Indeed, this is a happier experience.
You are surrendering your earth-existence
To the life of delight.
Indeed, this is the happiest experience.

1062

Because of your purity-heart
Every day God is granting you
His Himalayan Smile.
Because of your surrender-life
Every day God is granting you
Your victory’s crown.

1063

The heart’s inner purity
Helps us blossom
Out of the animal kingdom.
The soul’s God-embracing beauty
Helps us blossom
Out of the human kingdom.

1064

Yesterday your mind enjoyed
The gales of dark disbelief.
Today your entire life
Has become the burial ground
Of your shipwrecked mind.

1065

When your mind starts enjoying
Complete union with God,
Your life, without fail, will become
The absolute manifestation of God.

1066

The human activities
Of the divine soul
Do not confuse me.
They only increase
My genuine admiration
For its compassion-flooded reality.

1067

His heart cannot race
Towards the unfathomable beauty
Of the unknown
Because he has allowed his mind
To become nothing but
A dry intellect-field.

1068

God will be proud of you
If you can tell yourself
That there is no such thing
As failure.
God will love you infinitely more
If you can accept any so-called failures
As experiences He Himself is having
In you and through you.

1069

He is a rank fool!
He no longer wants
To please his Master
Because he thinks that others
Who are not pleasing the Master
Are still very close to him.

1070

To make the fastest progress,
Be an absolutely cheerful
Hero-warrior
And take both victory and failure
As parallel experience-rivers
Leading to the sea
Of progress-delight.

1071

Those who want to please the Supreme
In His own Way
Will have Heaven’s fastest
Satisfaction-speed.
Those who do not want
To please the Supreme in His own Way
Will have earth’s slower than the slowest
Frustration-destruction-speed.

1072

Your Master’s outer smile
May at times confuse you.
Your Master’s inner smile
Will not only illumine you
But also manifest the divine in you.

1073

If we are real seekers,
Sincere seekers, genuine seekers,
God will definitely grant us
What He eternally is:
Infinity’s Love immortal.

1074

Alas, you have developed
Disproportionate pride.
Now it is you and nobody else
Who can and must take every day,
Every hour and every second
As a God-granted opportunity
To conquer your abysmal pride.

1075

Some unfortunate seekers
Who are with a spiritual Master
Of the highest height
May jump out of his boat
Only to sink and fail.
But the Master himself
Can never ultimately fail,
For his is a God-ordained mission.

1076

Impurity divides.
Purity unites.
Because God is pure,
He is One:
He is His Heart’s Oneness-Song
In His Life’s Fulness-Dance.

1077

If it is possible
To create pride inside your mind,
Impurity will do it.
Alas, it has already
Done the damage.

If it is possible
To create insecurity inside your heart,
Impurity will do it.
Alas, it has already
Done the damage.

1078

O my hesitation-mind,
Do you know
That there is something
Called illumination-eye?

O my illumination-eye,
I am sure you know
That there is something
Called God’s constant Satisfaction-Heart.

1079

The seeker’s purity-heart-road
Is destined to join
The Highway of the Supreme.
When the hour strikes,
Both meet together and become one.

1080

O my mind’s confusion-bound intellect,
You are imperfect, to say the least!
Alas, even after you have covered
A very long distance
In the wrong direction,
You are not aware of what you are doing
Or where you are.
When will you learn
That satisfaction-smile abides
Only in intuition-core?

1081

An insecurity-heart cannot run,
Walk or even crawl.
What is worse,
It sees right in front of it
At every moment
A tangled jungle-mind.

1082

A purity-heart can live
Only in a beauty-life.
A beauty-life can live
Only in a surrender-breath.
A surrender-breath can live
Only in God’s
Fulness-Satisfaction-Heart.

1083

My hope-bird soars
Every morning and evening
In my soul’s moon-embraced
And sun-blessed sky.

1084

Your mind usually lives
Inside the forest of wild desires.
Can you not ask it
To live inside the garden
Of your soulful aspiration
Only for a day,
Just for a brief change?

1085

If your life swims every day
In the river of insincerity-tears,
How can you ever reach
And become one with
The smiling Waves
Of God’s Divinity-Ocean?

1086

God is happy with you
Not because you are perfect,
But because every day you allow Him
To water your heart-garden
With His Infinity’s Compassion-Light.

1087

Doubt-clouds appear only
In the mind-sky.
They never appear
In the heart-sky,
Which is flooded with
The rainbow-beauty-life
Of the inner sun.

1088

My sweet Lord,
When You give me something,
Do give me the capacity
To divide it.
My sweet Lord,
When I give You something,
Do give me the capacity
To multiply it.

1089

A genuine God-lover
Is he who can easily differentiate
Renunciation-enjoyment
From possession-greed.

1090

Every day cultivate adamantine will
In the depths of your heart
So that with no difficulty you can bestride
All your problems in the mental world.

1091

Hope and doubt
Are two absolutely worst foes.
From time immemorial
They have been fighting,
Sometimes one winning
And sometimes the other.

1092

He who is pleasing God
In God’s own Way
Will find all earthly and Heavenly
Experiences in his life agreeable.

1093

If you love God alone,
Then certainly you can easily articulate
Your aspiration in the inner world
And your dedication in the outer world.

1094

Peace of mind
Cannot be obtained overnight.
To achieve peace of mind
We have to invest many silence-years
In spirituality.

1095

Life’s perfection-road
Is very long,
But the journey is richly rewarding.

1096

Life is not competition.
Life is preparation —
Preparation for Heaven’s and earth’s
Transcendental Victory.

1097

Once upon a time you were
Your soul’s rainbow-dream.
Now you are
Your heart’s golden reality.
In the near or distant future
You will become
Your life’s splendid divinity.

1098

Dreams make progress
And become reality.
Reality makes progress
And becomes divinity.
Again, divinity makes progress
When it becomes reality,
And reality makes progress
When it becomes
The ever-transcending Dream.

1099

Now that he has uprooted
His life’s expectation-tree,
God has unconditionally granted him
His own Heart-Home.

1100

Long before you can bind God’s Hands
With your mind’s doubt-chains,
God will bind your life
With His Heart’s Love-Oneness-Chain.
