1301

Every morning and evening
I am determined to sing and dance
On the highest peak
Of my sun-flooded aspiration-mountain.

1302

If you are serious
In your surrender-life,
Then the precious panorama
Of perfection
Cannot remain a far cry.

1303

My Lord,
How can I satisfy You
All the time?

“My child,
Just ask your mind
To walk forward
Slowly and steadily.
Just ask your heart
To dive inward
Speedily and unreservedly.
That is all.
This is the only way
You can please Me all the time.”

1304

I do not think of my mind.
I do not even allow my mind
To think of anything.
I just think of my Lord Supreme.
And what does He do?
He smilingly and lovingly
Takes care of me.

1305

My Lord Supreme,
My love is love
Only in You.
Even my human love
Is immediately transformed
Into divine love.
And my human love
Is all for You.

1306

Yesterday
You descended in your inner running.
But today
Again you are climbing up
Once more to give immense joy
To your Lord Supreme
And bring Him divine glory.
Therefore
Your Lord Supreme is extremely proud
Of your heart
And divinely grateful
To your soul.

1307

When hope and he parted company,
He completely lost
His forward-thinking mind
And his upward-seeking heart
In life.

1308

In my case,
Failure comes quite spontaneously
Before my success.
Therefore, when failure comes first,
I never pay any attention to it.

1309

Realisation-fruit entirely depends
On our expectation-flowers.
Expectation-flowers entirely depend
On our patience-trees.

1310

All your Lord’s
Life-illumining Requests
Are written in letters of gold
On the golden tablet of your heart.
There He sees
Whether or not
You are truly obeying Him
And pleasing Him.

1311

Unlit humanity
Thinks only of what it had,
Its past glories.
It does not think
Of today’s aspiration-cry
And tomorrow’s dedication-smile.
It is completely bound
To yesterday’s stagnation-life-pool.

1312

You may feel
That you are a hopeless seeker.
But you will be saved
By the sincere pangs of remorse
That torture your heart
The very moment
You do anything wrong.

1313

Inwardly and outwardly
Our Beloved Supreme has proved
That He is right.
But you are deliberately,
Consciously, stupidly and unpardonably
Trying to prove
That our Beloved Supreme is wrong.

1314

God will definitely prove His Worth
Before long.
You just ask your wiseacre mind
To accept God on a trial basis!

1315

It takes only a fleeting moment
To faithfully remind yourself every day
Of your inner resolutions,
Which are nothing other than
Your soulful promises
To your Beloved Supreme.
And these promises
Are not only for today,
But for as long
As your aspiration remains unfulfilled.

1316

If your Lord Supreme scolds you,
Your divine attitude will immediately say:
“I failed,
But please let me try again!
Please give me another chance
To please You,
To please You in Your own Way!”

1317

If you send your heart-letter to God
With insufficient faith-postage,
How do you expect it
To reach God’s Home?

1318

His is the Inspiration-Light
That will help
The hearts of sincere seekers
No matter in whose boat
They are sailing
Towards the destined Goal.

1319

Whoever can
Soulfully and powerfully
Smile the oneness-smile
Before the game,
During the game
And after the game
Is undoubtedly the real winner.

1320

You want your Beloved Supreme
To write to you,
But how can His Letter reach you
When you have not given Him
Your proper address:
Your heart’s
Love-devotion-surrender-home?

1321

He perfectly knows
That each cent he gives
Gladly, cheerfully, soulfully,
Unreservedly and unconditionally
To mankind
Is his love-offering
To his Lord Supreme.

1322

My Lord Supreme,
Your unconditional Grace
Has given me the Himalayan height
In the inner world.
Now can Your Grace not give me
The larger-than-the-largest heart
In the outer world?

1323

My mind invited me
To come and stay a few days
In its guest house.
Alas, I accepted its invitation
Only to meet with utter frustration.
My frustration embarrassed my mind
And awakened it from ignorance-sleep.

1324

God is an eternal Child
Playing with His friends
In the world-garden.
He has established His Oneness
With His creation
To such an extent
That He does not mind
If all His children
Are playing different games.
In fact, He enjoys it most
When His children play
The game of multiplicity
Inside the heart-home of unity.

1325

Why did God aspire?
He aspired to transform His Vision
Into His Reality.
He was successful.
He aspired to transform His Revelation
Into His Manifestation.
He was again successful.

1326

God can help you only twice:
Once when your heart’s cry
Is sincere,
And once when your mind’s smile
Is sincere.

1327

God’s Justice-Bank
May one day go bankrupt,
But His Compassion-Forgiveness-Bank
Will never go bankrupt.
This is the joint realisation
Of Heaven and earth.

1328

God was with His creation
When it started,
He is with it now,
And throughout His endless Future
He will always remain —
Whether wanted or not —
A permanent Member of His creation.

1329

Who makes progress?
A child.
He has hope, he has promise.
He looks forward and upward.
God is the eternal Child
Because His Vision is constantly
Transcending Itself.
God with His Vision is constantly
Moving forward, flying upward,
Diving inward.

1330

You can underestimate
The capacity of any human being
On earth.
But don’t ever underestimate
The aspiration of a God-seeker
And the dedication of a God-lover.

1331

Countless people are wallowing
In the pleasures of ignorance,
And they are satisfied in their own way.
To them, ignorance itself
Is a kind of bliss.
But their happiness
Is no happiness at all
To the truth-seekers
Who are thinking of God calmly,
Praying to God soulfully
And meditating on God unconditionally.

1332

Before you were aspiring,
You were happy with the world.
But you have to know
That that happiness
Is not the same happiness
You are now longing for.
That happiness
Was your temptation-fulness-happiness.
This happiness
Is the manifestation of God-Satisfaction
In and through you.

1333

You say that
You can dare to deny God.
But, you fool,
Do you ever dare to imagine
That God can easily dare
To love you,
Illumine you and liberate you
From your self-styled clown act?

1334

A true seeker has to remain
Always an eternal student.
It is through him
That the Beauty of God’s Vision-Reality
Will be manifested and fulfilled.

1335

An unaspiring man is so useless.
He does not want any higher wisdom,
Although there is so much to know,
So much to learn
And so much to become.
He wants to change the face and fate
Of the world
Before he even dreams
Of changing his own.

1336

Why do I not want to see You, my Lord?
Is it because I shall disappoint You
Or is it because You will disappoint me?

“My child,
If your heart is not sincerely aspiring,
You will disappoint Me,
And if your mind is doubtful,
I shall disappoint you.”

1337

You can show your sweetest kindness
Even to those
Who are vehemently standing
In your way.
But under no circumstances
Must you surrender to their way.

1338

When God saw His detachment-child,
He was so pleased
That He immediately granted His child
A long interview —
His first marathon interview with God.

1339

You will always remain inexperienced
In the art of self-transcendence
If you allow the blinding fog of uncertainty
To invade your mind and heart.

1340

You went to God
Only to pay a courtesy call,
To see Him as briefly as possible.
How then can you expect God
To treasure and cherish you?

1341

O my doubting, earth-bound mind,
You may not feel it
But my aspiring heart
Definitely gets joy
From my Master’s very presence.
It feels that his mere presence
Feeds my soul.

1342

Because you are not sincere
And because you have forgotten
To write your return address,
God did not take the trouble
Of answering your prayer-letter.

1343

There is no reason
Why we cannot hope
That one day our hope
Will be transformed into reality.
We will, without fail, be able
To see God’s Vision-Eye,
Feel His Reality-Heart
And manifest His Oneness-Perfection
On earth.

1344

Why are you resting indefinitely
On the bottom rung
Of the wisdom-ladder?
Do you not know that others
Have already started climbing
Up the ladder?
And even now they are seeing
That there are infinitely more rungs
To climb.

1345

How do I dare
To measure up to God’s Height?
I do so
Just by quenching every day
My hope-thirst.

1346

“The race is to the swiftest.”
This is one theory.
Again, in the inner world
The race can be to the one
Who has the utmost patience.

1347

East and West
Are two wings of one blue-green bird.
This bird needs
Both the poise of the East
And the dynamism of the West
To fly in the firmament of the Beyond
And spread God’s Light and Delight.

1348

O my mind,
Keep silent for a few minutes!
Please let me do the talking!
O my heart,
When will you start talking
So that I can immediately
Start listening to you?

1349

His life was to serve
The Supreme in his Master.
Every time
His Master needed something
To be done
For the divine manifestation,
He offered his services unreservedly
To his Master.

1350

In every possible way
She is displeasing God.
But she is apt in making herself feel
That she is indeed
Pleasing Him.
What a deplorable seeker!

1351

Play your role soulfully.
You will reach your goal
Unmistakably.
Something more:
God will beat your victory-drum
Thunderously.

1352

My mind has disappointed me.
Therefore
I want to desert my mind.
My heart has pleased me.
Therefore
I want to treasure my heart.
My soul has embraced me.
Therefore
I want to manifest my soul’s dream.
My Lord has blessed me.
Therefore
My entire earth-existence
Is all gratitude to Him.

1353

If you are a true seeker,
You will feel that to be
With your Master,
Near your Master,
Beside your Master,
Is undoubtedly a true form
Of meditation.

1354

We have only one goal
And that goal
Is transcendence-perfection.
It is not only your goal,
His goal and my goal,
But it is everybody’s goal —
Including that of our Eternity’s
Beloved Pilot Supreme.

1355

You yourself must first become
Infinitely more spiritual,
Infinitely more self-giving
And infinitely more perfect
In your own way.
Then only you will get
The inner assurance
That you will be able to change
The world around you.

1356

You are enjoying your rash whims.
God is enjoying His prolonged absence.
Only one member of your inner family
Is suffering sleeplessly:
Your poor little heart.

1357

My Lord Supreme,
I am not listening to You,
He is not listening to You —
Nobody is listening to You.
Are You not by this time
Totally sick of Your creation?

“My child,
I am a perfect stranger to sickness.
But if you want to teach Me
How to fall sick,
Then do come and teach Me.
I am all ready.”

1358

My Lord Supreme,
I have displeased You.
How can I please You again?
“My child,
This question has been asked
By each and every seeker.
Again,
Each and every seeker
Has answered it.
Just try once more.
This time give Me
Your Eternity’s surrender-life.”

1359

Even one single day
If I forget
To feed my heart’s faith-flames,
Doubt-clouds not only appear
But also dance
On my mind’s horizon.

1360

Why do you exaggerate your mistakes?
I assure you,
Your offences are not as serious
Or as dangerous as you think.
Do not allow your stupidity-mind
To powerfully increase
Your baseless negative feelings
About yourself.

1361

He is such a fool!
He thinks that he is
Either very good or very bad.
He finds it difficult to see
That his status is really
Somewhere in between.

1362

That you remain in the spiritual life
Is undoubtedly a sign
Of your spiritual progress.
True, your life
Is nowhere near perfection-light.
But just because you have been
A truth-seeker and a God-lover
For such a long time,
You are definitely progressing —
Of course,
Maybe not to your satisfaction.

1363

Step by step
Each genuine seeker
Is going forward.
If he is bad,
He will unmistakably become good.
And if he is already good,
He will become better
And then best.
For God will not allow
His Vision-Light to remain
Unmanifested through him.

1364

If we have the capacity
To make mistakes,
Then our Beloved Supreme also
Has the capacity to forgive us.
He is in no way
Weaker than we are.
His Forgiveness-Light
Is infinitely stronger
Than our mistake-night.

1365

I have some good news for you.
This news will save your life.
You are dying
Because you have got
What you wanted.
From now on, be wise!
Try to claim only
God’s Aspiration-Sun
As your own.

1366

You have committed so many blunders
That you now feel
You can no longer become perfect.
But that is absurd, absurd!
Your Beloved Supreme
Will never be satisfied
Unless and until you become perfect
To prove to Him that His Vision of you
Was absolutely perfect.

1367

Life is God’s Game
And He has invited you
To play with Him.
Right now you are not
Scoring properly,
But do not worry.
Again and again
God Himself will teach you
How to score successfully.

1368

If you really want to think,
Then you must think
With a new inspiration.
If you really want to sing,
Then you must sing
With a new aspiration.
If you really want to dance,
Then you must dance
With a new liberation.

1369

His twentieth-century realisation
Far, far surpasses
His realisation of the hoary past.
The human in him
Laughs and laughs
At his previous realisation-heights,
While the divine in him
Reveals a compassion-flooded Eye.

1370

Who says he is
A hopeless and useless seeker?
He definitely has at least
One good quality.
Otherwise he would not be able
To follow any spiritual path.
Indeed it is his
Superb perseverance-quality
That keeps him alive
In the spiritual life.

1371

Now that his life is estranged
From his Inner Pilot,
His heart is no longer fluent
In the soul’s language.

1372

When you read the ancient scriptures,
It is like appreciating
The beauty and the power
Of the ocean and the sky
At a great distance.
But if a spiritual Master
Comes to you
As the ocean and the sky,
It is your sole task
To fly into the sky
And dive into the ocean.

1373

My sweet children,
You come to Me
Not only to receive from Me
What I have: Infinity’s Love,
But also to give to Me
What you have:
Your nectar-surrender-tears.

1374

Somewhere in the world
A supremely pure heart exists.
It definitely does.
It exists to please God
In God’s own Way.
Right now we may not have
The same kind of pure heart,
But let us sincerely and sleeplessly
Strive for it.
We shall, without fail, succeed.

1375

The outer dynamism of the Western soul
Is the Alpine message
That the East should treasure
At every moment.
The inner poise of the Eastern soul
Is the Himalayan message
That the West should treasure
At every moment.

1376

Truth he does not dare to know.
Love he does not dare to feel.
Yet satisfaction is the only thing
That his mind wants to know
And his heart wants to feel.

1377

To say
That he has studied the scriptures
Thoroughly
Is an understatement.
He has not only read them
Devotedly and soulfully
But also sleeplessly lives
In their Existence-Consciousness-Bliss.

1378

Why do you need an outer career?
Only become a more dedicated instrument
Of your Beloved Pilot Supreme.
You will find
That your true inner career
Is the only career
That you actually wanted and needed
To satisfy yourself — the real in you —
Permanently.

1379

Because you did not curb
Your desire-appetite,
God is sad.
Because you have betrayed God
Time and again,
God’s Compassion-Eye
Looks miserable.

1380

Realisation is everything.
Aspiration itself
Is a beautiful form of realisation.
Vision itself
Is a soulful form of realisation.
Revelation itself
Is a powerful form of realisation.
Manifestation itself
Is a fruitful form of realisation.

1381

God the Eternal
Is birthless and deathless.
For Him there is no time limit.
The past, present and future
Are within His grasp.
He is eternally young
And supremely old.

1382

In this world
There are some stupid people.
Again, there are some wise people.
Those who consciously wish to stay
Always with their Lord Supreme
And always are for Him alone
Are undoubtedly the wisest human souls.

1383

God is playing all the time
Inside your heart-garden.
If you want to be His playmate,
You will definitely be His chosen child.
And what He will do, you know:
He will shape you and mould you
Into His very Image.

1384

My Lord Supreme,
I am longing for infinite Peace,
Infinite Light and infinite Bliss.
I am longing to become
Your faithful, devoted
And conscious instrument.
Only if I can become
Your supremely chosen instrument
Will I be really happy.
For me, I assure You,
There is no other happiness.

1385

My Lord Supreme
Is not on speaking terms
With me
Because my mind
Does not think of Him
Frequently
And my heart
Does not pray to Him
Fervently.

1386

Just open your eyes
And see what has happened:
Your sorrowful sea of the past
Has completely surrendered
To your smiling sun of the present.
Did you ever think
That it was going to happen?

1387

If you can cry like a child
For just five minutes,
You will win the Supreme’s Forgiveness.
But let me tell you a secret:
Even one fleeting minute is enough,
For the Supreme is your heart’s
Compassion-King
And your life’s
Forgiveness-Emperor.

1388

Three travellers —
My mind,
My mind’s stupidity
And I —
Travel together all the time,
Looking for only one thing:
The dance hall
Where ignorance-king
And ignorance-queen
Each day perform.

1389

My mind was looking for
A doubt-tree.
My heart was looking for
A faith-plant.
My life was looking for
A surrender-flower.
My soul was looking for
A perfection-fruit.

1390

God
Is infinite and eternal.
His Forgiveness
Is infinite and eternal, too.
But do you really want God
To grant you His unconditional Forgiveness
Or do you want to continue
Swimming in ignorance-sea?
This is the question
Of paramount importance.

1391

Because
Your heart cried soulfully,
God has lifted you out
Of the quicksand of failure.
Because
Your life surrendered unconditionally
To God’s Vision-Eye,
He has carried you to the solid rock
Of continuous progress.

1392

You do not have to study the Vedas,
The Upanishads, the Mahabharata
And the Ramayana
To dive into the secret
And sacred wisdom-light
Of those scriptures.
He who realises God
Not only embodies all the scriptures —
Their essence and quintessence —
But also goes far, far beyond
The knowledge-seas of the past.

1393

In those days he did drink
Nectar-delight,
But at that time his capacity
Was limited.
Now his capacity is unlimited
And he is drinking the same thing —
Nectar-delight —
But in unlimited measure.

1394

Unless you have renovated
Your mind-room
To God’s complete Satisfaction,
God will not allow you to become
A member of His Relay-Team.

1395

I am telling you
That you are doing something
Extremely serious
And extremely dangerous.
You are nibbling
Temptation-nuts.

1396

God cannot expect
Satisfaction from everyone.
But when He sees that you,
His chosen child,
Have given Him satisfaction,
He will grant you
His Infinity’s Satisfaction-Delight.

1397

If your life is a life
Of gratitude-obedience,
Then God’s Eye will always precede you
And God’s Feet will always follow you.

1398

My Lord Supreme does His Work:
He preaches constantly.
I do my work:
I practise what He preaches
Devotedly.

1399

Where do I live?
I live with my Lord Supreme
In the tower of His Forgiveness.
What is the thing
That inspires me, illumines me
And fulfils me most?
The Breath of His universal
Breathless Life.

1400

At long last
My heart is ready
To become Your Dream,
My Lord Supreme.

“Then, My child,
I am giving you back
Your completely forgotten
Oneness-realisation
With My transcendental Vision
And universal Mission.”
