The infinity of my Lord’s
Compassion for me.

If He asks you every day
To come to Him
And collect His Blessing-Bonus.
2233
Because you love to liveIn your mind’s cluttered room,
Your life has become
A totally shattered home.
2234
What can you buyEither in Heaven or on earth
With reluctance —
Your counterfeit mind-coin?
2235
My Lord Supreme does not mindWhen my account with Him
Is overdrawn.
But He does mind
When I stop withdrawing
Out of sheer embarrassment.

My Lord Supreme
But also takes away
My God-hunger
Indefinitely.

If you settle for being
A second-class disciple?
2241
My mind always runs awayWhen it sees my soul
Coming to inject joy into it,
Through its frustration-veil.
2242
The seeker in him finally realisedThat the world-university
Had given him
Its most powerful ignorance-diploma.
2243
Alas,I thought the circus of ignorance
Was all inside my little universe.
Now I see that the circus of ignorance
Is everywhere.
2244
Since everything must be transformedEventually,
Why not let us start
With our life’s ego-horse,
Which has to be transformed
Into God’s fondest lamb.
2245
Before it gets too lateYou must return,
You must go back
To your heart’s gratitude-garden!
2246
No earth-possessing lifeCan ever be enlightened.
No Heaven-longing life
Can remain unillumined.

If love speaksThrough your heart,
That means
Perfection has already started speaking
Through your life.
2248
I completely forgotThat God is old.
I could have learnt
So much from Him.
I totally forgot
That God is young.
I should have invited Him
To come into my heart-garden
And play with me.
2249
Do you not recogniseYour soul’s old friend: God?
Do you not recognise
Your heart’s new friend: man?

The love-beat

The same most significant news:

Of man’s mind
Shatters man’s entire being.

And my life shall proceed
Forever and forever.

And the purity
Of his surrender-heart

With God’s Vision-Eye
And God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

Beyond the walls of self-imprisonmentGod stands
And grants the true God-lover
And truth-seeker
His Immortality’s Enlightenment.

Doubtfulness and fearfulness.

Fly out of your insecurity-nest!Angels, with Heaven’s delight,
Are eagerly waiting for you.

Is too small
For destiny to sit upon.

The fogbound ignorance-future.
2262
Don the garment of optimism!You will immediately be able
To free yourself
From your mind’s faded hopes.

On the strokes of sound-drums.

To see God-Beauty’s
Earth-transforming morn.
2265
You have at least oneGood quality:
You do not consider

From God,
The sooner God’s
Compassion-Forgiveness-Radar
Finds me.
2267
Purity’s gratitude-heartIs the main receptionist
In God’s humanity-transforming
Head Office.

Your soul’s promise-sun.

A life of volcano-egoIs nothing but
A self-addressed life.
2270
Although my mindIs in the confusion-clouds,
I am still a hope-bird
Of my Lord Supreme.
2271
Develop a voraciousAspiration-appetite!
You will meet God
Halfway to Heaven.
2272
My soul laughs and laughsAt my mind’s persistent efforts
To devalue my heart’s divinity.
2273
The malady of your lifeIs ruining
The melody of your soul.

Purify your mind soulfully.Otherwise, you and your mind
Will be totally lost
In the labyrinths of obscurity.

Commit your sincerity-breathTo God’s Compassion.
He will teach you summit-prayers.

Praise is somethingThat we may
On very rare occasions need.
But justice-light is something
That we always need.
2277
To distrust your heart’sGood qualities
Is to increase your mind’s
Bad qualities
Ten times
Immediately!
2278
Alas,Every day I ask God
The same stupid question:
“My Lord,
Do You really love me
More than I love You?”
2279
Two dreams are running together:The transformation-dream
Of man’s life
And the Satisfaction-Dream
Of God’s Heart.
2280
Your eyes have capturedGod the Inspiration.
Your heart has captured
God the Illumination.
Your life has captured
God the Perfection.
And finally
You are going to capture
God the Satisfaction.
2281
Unless your life becomesThe humility-dust
Of God’s Compassion-Feet,
How can you ever draw
Every detail of God’s Face?
2282
I am so happyThat my mind has at last
Resigned its chairmanship
Of the doubt-committee.
2283
Take a close lookAt your inner life!
Are you not ashamed
Of your continuous
Insecurity-illness?
2284
God may consider the world-mindAs His finished product,
But He considers each human heart
As His unfinished product.
2285
No matter what kind of seekerYou are,
No matter how developed
You are
In your spiritual life,
You have to be careful
Of your mind’s impurity-pickpocket!
2286
God’s turn came.He showed you
How to realise Him.
Your turn is coming.
You have to show Him
How you are going
To manifest Him.
2287
Every morningI sing my prayer-song
At my Lord’s Feet.
Every evening
I dance my meditation-dance
Inside the Heart-Garden
Of my Lord Supreme.
2288
When the God-Hour strikes,The Absolute Supreme will
Without fail
Grant you His Confidence-Power
So you can become
His transcendental Tower.
2289
The arch-enemy of your soulIs not your impure mind,
Not your insecure heart,
But your unwilling life.
2290
No wonder you have lostYour security-wallet!
You forgot to put
A picture of God’s Satisfaction-Face
Inside it.
2291
Alas, what shall I doAnd what can I do?
Heaven is already disgusted
With my imperfections,
And hell is already overcrowded.
2292
A man may beOrdinary
But his dreams can be
Extraordinary.
2293
A man’s desire-lifeMay torture him
But his aspiration-life
Can illumine the world.
2294
If you are unwilling to learnAt your own heart-university,
Yours will be a life
Of paralysing grief.
2295
If you encircle your egoWith a victory-fence,
Then you remain a stranger
To perfection-achievement.
2296
Because you are lostIn a crowd of unruly emotions,
Heaven does not want
To accept you
And earth does not want
To recognise you.
2297
No matter how thickYour mind’s doubt-fog is,
The Hope-Light of God’s Heart
Can easily shine through it.
2298
There was a timeWhen I knew nothing
Except my mind’s business hours.
But now I know two things:
My heart’s aspiration-hours
And
My life’s dedication-hours.
2299
As God’s Eye can tellWhere the seeker’s heart is,
Even so, the seeker’s heart
Can tell where God’s Eye is.
2300
If God is pleased with you,Deliberately He may not fulfil
All your desires.
If He is extremely pleased with you,
Then He may fulfil
Some of your innocent desires.
But if He is completely pleased with you,
Then He is not going to satisfy
Even one earthbound desire of yours,
For He wants you to be a co-sharer
Of His Infinity’s free Delight.
