Only when you ask God
How things can be done
In God’s own Way.
5002
Do not forgetThat God does not cherish
Your inferiority feelings,
Just as He does not cherish
The superiority feelings of others.
5003
One tiny insignificant word,Doubt,
Has the capacity to ruin
The poise of the entire world.
5004
Our oldest friend,Love,
Tells us and shows us
That it can be our eternal friend.
5005
If you give to mankindYour life’s gifts
With a careless hand,
Mankind is not going to appreciate
Your gifts
And is not going to derive
Any benefit from them.
5006
If you really have concernFor someone,
You can never hide
The stupendous power
Of your concern.
5007
Remember your promise to God:You will break all the resistance
Of your doubtful and harmful mind.
5008
The person with the ultimate powerKnows that without love
His life is dry and dust-filled.
5009
Disappointment does not touch him,For every day
God grants his heart
A new appointment.
5010

To powerfully control
Not only the present
But also the entire future.
5011
His mind’s impurity-thoughtsAnd his heart’s purity-will
Are in perpetual conflict.
5012
Can I really live withoutGod’s constant Compassion
And Forgiveness?

A strange invitation has arrivedFrom the world unknown.
A sinner and a saint are invited
Together,
And they will be served together.
5014
The immensity of self-offeringIs the perfection-beauty
Of a divine being.

When I enter into the vital world,I hear nothing but bad news.
When I enter into the mental world,
I hear nothing but sad news.
When I enter into the psychic world,
I get the happiest news:
My Beloved Lord Supreme is all ready
To play with me.
5018
If you think of God,Pray to God
And love God soulfully,
Then you are bound to become
A possessor of marvellous secrets
And fantastic stories
From the other world.
5019
There is only one disaster ahead:Your total failure
Due to your
Wilful unwillingness.
5020
You have anchored your heartIn the infinite Love of God.
Therefore
You do not have to worry
About anything
In the world of dreams
Or in the world of realities.
5021
If you are a money-minded seeker,Then you will not be blessed
With God’s Satisfaction-Smile,
Even in your dreams.
5022
A life of temptationCompels you to stumble.
When you stumble,
Your vital is displayed to the outer world
With your unconscious frustration-frown.
5023
Try hard to obey the unknown.Otherwise, the Unknowable
Will be extremely strict
With your life.
5024
God wants you to beA liberated soul.
But it seems that
You do not want anything more
Than to become a frustrated seeker.
5025
You are proud of yourConfessed insecurities.
But I shall be proud of you
Only if you invite your soul
To be your God-security.
5026
Your doubting mind is laughingAt imminent disasters.
Alas, your mind does not realise
That it has already reached
The highest height of stupidity.
5027
Do you knowWhat God has taught him?
God has taught him
Secretly, sacredly, compassionately
And unmistakably
How to forgive
His own unforgivable life.
5028
O my proud mind,May death invite you
To its deathless party!
5029
The moonrise heraldsHis heart’s purity.
The sunrise heralds
His life’s beauty.
5030

The vision-illumination
Of your soul?
5031
My unparalleled inheritanceFrom God:
A gratitude-heart
And a surrender-life.
5032
God’s Smile will be availableOnly when your attachment-cries
Are nowhere to be seen.
5033
My Lord Supreme has to visitA few places this morning.
Therefore
He has left His Fragrance-Smile
In my heart.
5034
Who will save the world?Not a king, not a diplomat —
No, nobody except one person,
And he is
The unconditional God-lover.
5035
I always admireYour detachment-heart.
I always dislike
Your indifference-eye.
5036
When there is no differenceBetween you and your heart’s
Meditation-sea,
God will grant you
His Peace-Empire.
5037
He thinks that he is too poor,And his poverty is not allowing him
To think of God.
You think that you are too rich,
And therefore your riches
Are not allowing you
To think of God.
I think that I am neither poor nor rich.
Therefore God the Compassion
Has given me the capacity
To become man the aspiration.
5038
Poor God has been sufferingRight from the day
He created this world.
Therefore
We must not make complaints to God
Against any human being
And add to His countless problems.
5039
My mind wants to beWith the new generation
Of truth-seekers.
My heart longs to be
With the new generation
Of God-lovers.
And I aspire to be
With the new generation
Of world-transformers.
5040
When bad thoughts come to you,Grab them and place them
In front of God’s Destruction-Eye.
When good thoughts come to you,
Carry them gently and place them
At God’s Compassion-Feet.
5041
In vainYour mind wants to be admired
By offering to the world
False aspiration-coin.
5042
If your mind is confinedAll the time
To stupid curiosity,
Then it will never
Be able to arrive
At divinity’s ecstasy-palace.
5043
Attachment precedesWild frustration.
This is an undeniable
Human experience.
5044
Do not foreseeA frightening future.
Believe only
In an ever-enlightening present.
5045
Why have you allowed your lifeTo be enchained
By your absolutely useless
Idleness-body?
5046

Flying up into Infinity’s Delight-sky.
5047
Before temptation touches your mind,Run with your heart
Towards God’s Compassion-Destination.
5048
When I met God in the morning,He immediately gave me
A clear vision
Of His Eternity’s Road.
5049
Pray soulfully,Pray sleeplessly.
God is bound to hear
Even your faint
And faltering prayer.
5050
The most difficult thing on earthFor a human being to feel
Is that yesterday’s misdeeds
Are the cause of today’s suffering.
5051
The human mind not only has suspicionIn abundant measure,
But also is eager to pour suspicion-night
Into the human heart.
5052
My Lord Supreme,If You do not want to forgive me,
I shall not mind,
But please, please forgive
My daily false prayers.
5053
I cannot masterEven my own mind.
How can I then expect to govern
The unruly vital of the world?
5054
My mind was ruinedBy cleverness.
My heart was ruined
By helplessness.
My life was ruined
By unwillingness.
5055
My Compassion-LordHas transformed my wisdom-thoughts
Into flaming prayers.
5056
I am satisfiedOnly when my meditation shows me
A flaming rainbow
Descending from the Vision-Eye
Of my Beloved Supreme.
5057
I can easily openMy heart’s new
Love-devotion-surrender-lock.
5058
When I sing,I sing with the beauty
Of the moon.
When I dance,
I dance with the divinity
Of the sun.
When I cry,
I cry with the helplessness
Of the world.
5059
If you think that your mindIs all preoccupied
And therefore
You cannot think of God,
Then God the Satisfaction
Is not meant for you.
5060
I ceaselessly admireYour purity-heart.
I sleeplessly adore
Your divinity-life.
I breathlessly love
Your inner immortality-cry.
5061
Because you have a new heart,You will be the possessor
Of new God-experiences.
5062
The entire world is running —Running either towards
God the Satisfaction
Or man the frustration.
5063
My mind is not my worst enemy.My worst enemy is my mind’s unwillingness
To become inseparably one
With my purity-heart.
5064
If you give from your heart,Then your offering will be
Not only unimaginable
But also indisputable.
5065
If you have regained faith,That means
Fear and doubt have lost you
For good.
5066
You are not your parrot-mind!You are a strong partner
Of your inventor-soul.
5067
You do not have to meet GodHalfway.
Just try to walk always
Towards God’s Way.
5068
My Lord Supreme,Will You not make me the best
At least in one thing?
Will You not make me
The best forgiveness-customer of Yours?
5069
If you are loyalOnly to God’s Love,
Then happiness will be
Your only name
Within, without, below, above.
5070
I must congratulate your mindWholeheartedly,
For it has passed far beyond
The vast doubt-territory.
5071
I have measured my aspiration-heartAnd my dedication-life
With my Lord’s Compassion-Ruler.
Therefore, my entire being
Is completely fulfilled and satisfied.
5072
His purity-lifeIs lit
By his heart’s
Beauty-moon.
5073
I am not a fool!I shall never march
In my vital’s frustration-parade.
5074
If you pray soulfully,You will not be able
To expect the worst.
You can and you will
Only hope for the best.
5075
God does not want you to crawlOn your hands and knees
To reach Him.
He just wants you to participate
In all His races.
5076
My Lord tells meThat I need no other companion
Save and except
His Compassion-Smile.
5077
Whatever his soulful heart touchesImmediately becomes
The most beautiful gold
To satisfy his Lord Supreme
In His own Way.
5078
To believe news about GodFrom the mind-newspaper
Is to be at once
Deceived and frustrated.
5079
True, God is not yet boredWith your life.
But you must not do anything unaspiring
Deliberately,
For that will bore Him
Immediately.
5080
You may break all the promisesThat you have made to humanity,
But never break even one promise
To God
If you want to unveil
God’s Smile on earth
And reveal humanity’s cry
In Heaven.
5081
I do not believe in defeat.I believe only in victory.
Whose victory?
Definitely not mine, but God’s.
5082
Even God-instruments are no exception.They become useless
Like other instruments
When they rest too long.
5083
Don’t discuss,Don’t think,
Just do!
5084
Don’t dream!Where is the time to dream?
Just become
What God wants you to become.
5085
Do not listen to your vital!It is anxious to tell you
Horrifying God-denying stories.
5086
Because your heart is pure,The heart of the world
Has become pure to you.
5087
Your soulfully patientPersistence-tears
Are bound to win
God’s supreme Smiles.
5088
What I never needIs a doleful mind.
What I ever need
Is a soulful heart.
5089
His meditation-dawnHas purified the impurity
Of his mind’s city.
5090
How can you loseIn the battlefield of life
If you are already well-acquainted
With the real life in you:
Your heart’s aspiration-cry?
5091
You must be always ready for anything.Who knows,
God may at any moment ask you
To become another God
To share His countless problems.
5092
Be an artist of the soul.Then every day
You will be able to paint
A positive picture
Of your desire-freed life.
5093
Since you do not wantTo be misled,
Why do you allow
Your mind to lead you?
Since you want
To be fed,
Why do you not allow
Your loving heart to feed you?
5094
“I want to be happy,But I do not know how.”
This is humanity’s
Regularly unfailing message.
5095
My Lord, You are telling meThat You have all along
Been here with me.
But how is it
That I cannot recognise You?
Is it really possible
For me to ignore You?
5096
Since you are well-acquaintedWith your higher self,
You will be visited
By God’s Satisfaction-Vision-Eye.
5097
The end of your Heavenly journey is near,If this is what you want.
The beginning of your
Self-transcending earthly journey
Can at any time start,
The moment you are ready.
5098
My Lord Supreme,Your Forgiveness-Smile
Is the most important thing
That You eternally have for me,
Your weak seeker-son
And Your strong lover-friend.
5099
You are the most pathetic seeker!Only God, the most sympathetic Listener!
And no human being
Can be of any use to you.
5100
My Lord Supreme,My Beloved Absolute,
Please do not allow me to miss
The privilege
Of Your earthly physical Presence.
