23101
My heart’s devotionEvery day carries my life
To the Feet of my Beloved Supreme.
23102
Our aspiring gratitude-heartAlways expands
As it rises.
23103
PeaceWill not take “No” for an answer
From the mind.
23104
God the CompassionSleeplessly keeps His Eye
On everything
That we say and do.
23105
Once we become seekers,We must take each day
As a one-time opportunity
To realise and please God.
23106
Each smiling heartEmbodies
A God-willingness-breath.
23107
When my mind started searchingFor God,
God immediately heaved a sigh
Of relief.
23108
My heart wants to be claimedOnly by my Lord’s
Compassion-Eye.
23109
I want to be a conquerorOf my ego
And a perfect slave
Of my soul.
23110
There was a timeWhen I used to weep
A river of tears,
But not now.
Why?
Because God’s golden Smiles
Have enveloped my entire being.
23111
A beautiful heart-gardenIs a blessingful message
From the Lord Supreme.
23112
Every dayMy soul is secretly and openly
Helping my heart
To expel my mind’s
Doubt-ghosts.
23113
A seeker’s self-giving lifeTo God
Can never grow old.
23114
Love in measureless measureResults in
Universal oneness.
23115
The soulful musicOf the heart
Is the voice
Of divinity’s perfection.
23116
Only a life of surrenderCan sit
On the throne of tranquillity.
23117
We treasureThe power of independence.
God treasures
The power of interdependence.
23118
My soul does not useA loud voice.
It always speaks
In whispers.
23119
The fragranceOf a gratitude-heart-blossom
Is unparalleled
In running the fastest
To God’s Kingdom.
23120
The onenessOf aspiring hearts
Embodies and reveals
The most haunting illumination-melody.
23121
True God-seekersAre Heaven-pilgrim-souls
That throng before
God’s Lotus-Feet.
23122
The difference betweenDetachment and indifference
Is this:
Indifference blinds us;
Detachment illumines us.
23123
My life’s happiest momentsAre those
When I am blessed
With brief glimpses
Of my Lord’s Smile.
23124
If you do not forgive and forgetYour past unhealthy experiences,
God will not be able to bless you
With His Enthusiasm-Dynamism.
23125
When courage is foundedUpon oneness-love,
We can challenge the pride
Of ignorance-night.
23126
May my entire day be blessedWith the unparalleled beauty
Of the morning’s rising sun!
23127
How do we regainOur long-lost divinity?
Only through constant
God-obedience-willingness
And eagerness.
23128
Each time I haveA God-surrendering thought,
I immediately multiply
My heart’s goodness.
23129
O seeker, be patient!Sooner or later
You will definitely reach
Your sunlit aspiration-summit.
23130
My Lord,The moment You smile at me,
My heart and I fly
A million miles above
This sorrow-filled earth.
23131
Do not cut down the mind,But cut down the thick mind-forest
If you want to be divinely wise.
23132
If you want to liveIn the world of peace,
Then keep tomorrow’s thoughts
For tomorrow.
23133
He who is masterOf his thoughts
Is indeed the president
Of the universe.
23134
If you want constant happiness,Then every day
Enlarge the circle of your love.
23135
When we dive deep within,We definitely can hear
The whispers of Infinity.
23136
The simplest, the easiestAnd the most effective way
To achieve God-realisation
Is to breathe the very breath
Of unconditional surrender.
23137
My crying heartAnd my surrendering life
Have reawakened
My God-oneness-cry.
23138
My Lord Beloved Supreme,I look and look
For Your Compassion-Eye
Inside my heart,
But alas,
It is not to be found there.
23139
God is unableTo keep back His Tears
When I doubt
My God-fulfilment-capacity.
23140
There is only one thing I cherishAt every moment,
And that is my tearful heart.
23141
Just go to God and give HimWhat you have:
Your heart’s cry.
God will immediately give you
What He has for you:
His Infinity’s Smile.
23142
Love GodAccording to your limited capacity.
He will give you unlimited opportunities
To multiply your capacity.
23143
You are wrong when you thinkThe child inside you — your soul —
Has no power.
The soul has power
Far beyond your imagination.
But it uses its power
Only to please God
In God’s own Way.
23144
It is never too late to start doingThe right thing.
You definitely can once again love and please
Your Beloved Lord Supreme.
23145
If you really want to see God smiling,Then start doing the right thing
And becoming the right person
At this very moment.
23146
It is you who have to decideWhether you want to be
A supremely chosen instrument
Of God
Or a willing instrument
Of ignorance-king.
23147
The harder the battle is,The more faith God will have in us
When He sees we are winning
On the battlefield of life.
23148
God tells meHe does not want me to prove
My capacity.
He only wants me not to miss any opportunity
To love Him and please Him
In His own Way.
23149
Do not feelYou are doomed to disappointment,
Although your spiritual life
Has been a dry desert for years.
The golden days shall beckon you
Once again.
What you need is patience
And loving determination.
23150
You feel fearOnly when you doubt yourself
And doubt your own spiritual life.
Just identify yourself
With something higher and deeper.
Lo and behold,
Fear is nowhere to be found.
23151
Following a spiritual MasterIs like walking with someone
Who is infinitely stronger than you
And is always ready to help you
And make you happy in a divine way.
23152
Manifestation is divineAnd manifestation is perfect
Only if it is done
With the heart’s self-giving smile.
23153
At every momentWe have to feel our oneness
With humanity
If we want to be loved and embraced
By the universal Light.
23154
Alas, countless timesYou are bringing thorns to the Supreme
By criticising mercilessly
Those who are trying to give Him roses.
23155
To make God really happy,What your body needs
Is strength,
What your vital needs
Is dynamism,
What your mind needs
Is clarity,
What your heart needs
Is eagerness.
23156
Daily appreciate the beautyOf your heart’s forgiveness-flowers
And your life’s tolerance-fruits.
23157
Just as unaspiring, negativeAnd doubt-filled thoughts
Separate you from God,
Even so, aspiring, positive
And faith-blossoming feelings
Take you speedily to God.
23158
May my mind, like my heart,Be always eager
To place everything it has and is
At the Feet of my Lord Supreme.
23159
Bring your best to the foreAnd keep it there.
You will unmistakably see
How close you are to God.
23160
God will definitely take care of youAnd make you a happiness-king
If you just love your heart
Infinitely more than you do now.
23161
If you pray to God sincerely,Is there anything
He cannot and will not
Do for you?
23162
You are bound to feel God’s LoveInfinitely more
If you love Him, not in theory,
But in practical reality’s intensity.
23163
My Lord,This is my very special prayer to You:
Do give me the capacity every day
To offer You a new gratitude-heart.
23164
O seeker,Why do you give God
Your worst possible spiritual defeat
When you have the capacity to give Him
Your supremely glorious victory?
23165
Today imagineThat God loves you
And God needs you.
Tomorrow you will see
That your imagination was nothing more
Than a reality unblossomed.
23166
Do not worry about the future.The present moment is heavy enough
For you to carry.
How do you know that tomorrow
A bright and illumining dawn
Will not invite you?
23167
God wants you constantly to cherishYour own aspiration
Exactly the way He enjoys
His own Satisfaction.
23168
You are bound to make progressAnd make yourself really happy
If you take spirituality
As your real and only life.
23169
Only when we dive deep withinAnd meditate self-givingly
Does the cosmic sound reverberate
In our heart’s aspiration-sky.
23170
God gives you the beautyOf aspiration
To love Him.
God gives you the fragrance
Of dedication
To manifest Him.
23171
My God-surrender-blossomsGod Himself places
On His own Satisfaction-Heart-Shrine.
23172
Every day we must bring to the foreThe roaring lion in us
And manifest the divine Light,
To transform the face and fate
Of mankind.
23173
God always watchesOur heart-hunger
And, according to our heart-hunger,
His Compassion-Eye feeds us.
23174
God begs us for two things:To give Him the opportunity
And the certainty
Of remaining permanently
Inside our life-breath.
23175
God does what He has to do:He keeps us inside His Heart.
Unfortunately, we do not keep Him
Where He is supposed to be:
Inside our own heart.
23176
Just try alwaysTo see God’s Nectar-Smile.
Then, along your aspiration-road,
No wrong committed by you
Can seriously discourage you.
Dauntlessly you will run
Towards your destined goal.
23177
God is asking you to considerOnly three questions from Him
About your inner life:
In how many ways have you loved God?
In how many ways have you served God?
In how many ways have you fulfilled God
Over the years?
23178
Remember this once and for all:Your heart’s gratitude-smile
Has the fastest speed
To reach Infinity’s Golden Shore.
23179
Do not think of how many timesYou have disappointed God.
Only think of one thing:
Do you still love God?
If so, make a fresh attempt.
Lo, you have won the Goal.
23180
The human in you does not dareTo claim the divine in you.
The divine in you not only claims
The human in you,
But also helps the human in you
To enter into Infinity’s Peace-Sea.
23181
God the CreatorLoves you.
God the creation
Needs you.
To God the Creator
Give your heart.
To God the creation
Give your life.
23182
Happiness is radiating on your faceFrom your heart.
Do you know why?
Because you have pleased God
In His own Way today,
And because you will please Him
Infinitely more tomorrow.
23183
God feels His PresenceInside your heart.
God feels your presence
Inside His Heart.
Therefore, He is happy.
If you want to be happy,
Then bring God and keep God
Inside your mind.
23184
Do you want to knowThe Will of God?
Then do two things:
Become and remain
Your heart’s streaming tears.
You do not have to strive
To know the Will of God.
Your soul on its own will tell you
What God’s Will is.
Your soul wants and needs from you
Only one thing:
An ever-deepening meditation.
23185
We all need fulfilment.Therefore, why do we hesitate
To go to the right person
Who is all eagerness to bless us
With fulfilment?
Who is the right person?
None other than your own highest self!
23186
If you are true to yourself,Only then will God remain
Your Eternity’s only Boss.
23187
Whom can we obey?Our Lord Beloved Supreme.
How can we obey Him?
Just by sleeplessly listening
To the dictates of our soul,
The direct representative of God.
23188
Real happiness can be foundOnly in the world of dynamic
And self-giving activities.
23189
Our outer beautyFeeds our eyes.
Our inner beauty
Feeds our Lord Supreme.
23190
God’s greatest Blessing-LightTo man
Is a sleepless hunger
For God-satisfaction.
23191
I need a heart-cryThat will be satisfied
Only with an eternal God-union
And not with just a long-term God-union.
23192
O my heart,Do not be discouraged.
God and God’s Compassion-Eye
Will not be able to hide from you
Forever.
23193
He is unfortunateWho descends from aspiration-tree.
But he who descends
From aspiration-tree
And does not recognise his descent
Is infinitely more unfortunate.
23194
I cry and smile.I cry astonishingly
When I enter into the human mind.
I smile ceaselessly
When I enter into the human heart.
23195
To my extreme joyMy heart-tears
Are nourishing
My life-blossoms.
23196
If you choose your soulInstead of anything else,
Only then will your suffering life’s cries
Come to an end.
23197
YesterdayI was on my Lord’s
Forgiveness-List.
Today
I am on my Lord’s
Compassion-List.
Tomorrow
I shall be on my Lord’s
Satisfaction-List.
23198
God tells meThat there is no difference
Between
My heart’s breathless cries
And His Eye’s sleepless Smiles.
23199
TodayWe painfully call it
Humiliation.
Tomorrow
We shall call that very thing
Illumination.
23200
Life is God’s Universal Game.The seekers join God’s side
And play along with Him
Against the undivine and unlit forces.
God’s side, without fail,
Will eventually win.
