Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 3

Return to the table of contents

201.

Only our heart's surrender-joy
Feeds God's burning Hunger
For our nature's complete transformation.

202.

I am supremely blessed
With tears that flow
Towards God's Compassion-Sea.

203.

Not the dictatorship of the mind
But the oneness of the heart
Will conquer
The life of the world.

204.

Every morning
God blessingfully
And self-givingly
Winds my life-clock.

205.

O my mind,
Listen carefully with rapt attention
To what my Lord has to say
About you.

206.

Each time I meditate,
I try to become a fulness-wave
Of my soul's silence-peace-sea.

207.

If a seeker is divinely and supremely sincere,
Then he can easily develop the fastest speed
In his life's progress-race.

208.

A powerful meditation
Can easily clear
The mind's thought-jungle.

209.

My heart's gratitude cherishes
God's Heart's Forgiveness
Infinitely more than anything else.

210.

When you are in the doubting mind,
It is impossible to choose anything.
When you are in the aspiring heart,
It is so easy to choose the right thing.

211.

As there are a thousand seekers,
Even so there are a thousand paths.
But the seeker in me loves only the path
Of my constantly sleepless God-loving breath.

212.

The mind made of curiosity
Feels no real need
For God-sublimity.

213.

Yesterday
God passed His Peace-Book to me
And asked me to read it
Page by page,
Lovingly, devotedly and self-givingly,
To humanity.

214.

Alas, I have come to realise
At long last
That my mind's disobedience
Is nothing other than
A haunting, challenging
And devastating nightmare.

215.

Only those especially invited by God
Can enjoy
God's Ecstasy-Heart-Delight.

216.

God's Compassion-Eye
And His Forgiveness-Heart
Always play together
With carefree abandon.

217.

O my determination
To realise God,
Be as firm as the backbone
Of Mother-Earth.

218.

Each human heart is uniquely gifted
To love God's Heart
And to serve God's Life
In God's own Way.

219.

Eternity's peace-silence
And Infinity's peace-silence
Have come from a very great distance.
I must welcome them
Happily, proudly and self-givingly.

220.

God never likes
My dedication-maximum-speech,
But He dearly loves
My aspiration-maximum-silence.

221.

In spite of all opposition,
I am determined to arrive
At my God-Destination
In this very life.

222.

God arrived just in time,
When I was about to give up
My God-satisfaction-hope.

223.

I shall no more allow my mind
To tyrannise and dictate to
My snow-white heart.

224.

In the early days
Of life on earth,
Simplicity and sincerity-blossoms
Were found everywhere.

225.

God's Duty
Is to warn me
When I am about to make
A Himalayan blunder.
My duty
Is to do the divine thing
And become the perfect person.

226.

God always steps forward
To blessingfully assist me.
But alas, my stupidity-mind
Prevents me
From accepting His Assistance.

227.

Alas, alas, the disobedience
Of the unaspiring and haughty mind
Has enslaved the entire world.

228.

Because you fear
The result of failure,
You miss the joy of life
Unnecessarily and untimely.

229.

Each and every human doubt
Will tumble down
To its own living hell-torture
At God's choice Hour.

230.

God's Peace is sleeplessly
Sending out invitations,
But alas,
Only a few God-loving souls
Accept.

231.

The time for introspection
For each human mind
Has already arrived.

232.

As the human mind
Compels us to sink,
Even so the divine heart
Helps us to rise
Towards Infinity's Height.

233.

Alas, when will I be
Ashamed of my inconsiderateness?
Can I not see my Boatman
So eagerly waiting for me?

234.

We have to surmount
Each and every temptation-test in life
Before we realise God.

235.

The mind sleeplessly and shamelessly
Cherishes its own importance.
The heart breathlessly and self-givingly
Cherishes its own oneness.

236.

God tells me
That He has always had
A very special Fondness
For my heart's
Small and humble way
Of pleasing Him.

237.

In the outer world
There is always an employment crisis.
In the inner world
There is always employment opportunity.

238.

The door of silence-peace
Will always remain open
To my heart's
Prayerful and cheerful approach.

239.

A genuine aspiration-heart
Learns God's Oneness-Language well
With no difficulty.

240.

A God-surrender-heart
Has the capacity
To run the fastest
In every field.

241.

What the world needs
Is an incorruptible mind
And an unswerving heart
To run the fastest
In the God-realisation-race.

242.

God sees the unspoken question
In my eyes and says,
"You will realise Me
Long before your expectation."

243.

My mind wants to become
A peace-ambassador.
My heart wants to become
A peace-student.
My life wants to become
A peace-servant.

244.

I do not like God.
I do not need God.
These are the two
Oldest and saddest blunders
Of humanity.

245.

Until peace becomes
A part of our existence,
We shall never be able
To claim satisfaction
As our own, very own.

246.

My mind cherishes stupidity
Unconsciously.
My heart cherishes sincerity
Consciously.
My soul cherishes divinity
Sleeplessly.

247.

If we do not set foot
Upon spirituality's path,
Then God-realisation-attainment
Will remain a far cry.

248.

The transformation of life
Takes place far, far beyond
The mind's territories.

249.

My mind has all warlike intentions
To conquer the world.
My heart has only one intention:
World-peace-oneness-love.

250.

God finds it a big joke
When I tell Him
That I shall not make any more attempts
To please Him.

251.

One question returns again and again
To the mind:
"Does God really love me?"

252.

Sweeter than the sweetest
Is the voice of obedience.
Shriller than the shrillest
Is the voice of disobedience.

253.

God asks us never to take
Our ignorance-cherishing mind
Seriously.

254.

Our soul inspires us
To embark upon
A daring God-research project.

255.

To long for God-realisation
Is to have a special feeling
Of God-oneness-intimacy.

256.

What is there to worry about?
If you love God sincerely,
God will always take care of you
In His inimitable Way.

257.

Nobody conquers another
By fighting.
Only by loving
Can one conquer.

258.

I must achieve God-Satisfaction
In each and every department
Of my life.

259.

God tells me
That He does not want
To be familiar any more
With my ingratitude-heart.

260.

It is high time for me
To open wide my heart-door
And close down my mind-shop
To realise my Lord Beloved Supreme.

261.

Alas, why do I not see
That my mind has already reached
The fulness of its stupidity?

262.

Hope and promise
Are the two most beautiful flowers
In God's Heart-Garden.

263.

God's Dream is at once
Unimaginably prescient
And immeasurably patient.

264.

When I sit for my life's
Transformation-examination,
God definitely expects
Some positive results.

265.

To realise God,
Aspiration is necessary.
To realise God,
Surrender is indispensable.

266.

God was sadly amused
When He read my mind's
Recently published
God-unwillingness-stories.

267.

When you are wanting
In aspiration,
Your heart's peace-shore
Will be invaded by doubt-storms.

268.

Alas, alas,
The unwillingness to serve God
In mankind
Is permeating the entire human race.

269.

God's Hands stretch
Lovingly and compassionately
Over my aspiration-future.

270.

To know better God's Philosophy,
We must dwell at every moment
In our own heart-home.

271.

God tells me
That He may come back
Once again
To visit my unwillingness-mind,
But He is not absolutely sure.

272.

No matter how many
Thousands of centuries
It will take me to realise God,
I shall never, never give up!

273.

The future of the whole human race
Will not depend
On man's mind-made power,
But on God's Heart-made Love.

274.

Impatience
Is the greatest hindrance
To any success-mind
And progress-heart.

275.

If you are not thrilled
By God's Presence,
How can you dare to think
You will run the fastest
In the God-realisation-race?

276.

May my Lord's Compassion-Eye
And Forgiveness-Heart
Always be found
Inside my heart's gratitude-garden.

277.

I am determined to learn
The song of life
As sung by my Lord Beloved Supreme.

278.

I shall not fight against
The human mind that contradicts me.
I shall only pray to my Lord Supreme
For its immediate illumination.

279.

We must know
That indifference is always alien
To God's Temperament.

280.

My heart-poems
Are precious to my soul.
My heart-songs
Are precious to God.
But my heart-cries and heart-smiles
Are God's veritable treasures.

281.

Not only my heart,
But also God
Cannot believe
What a doubt-cherishing mind
I have!

282.

My soul has whispered a great secret
Into God's Ear:
I am all ready for my unconditional
God-surrender.

283.

If you do not aspire regularly,
Then definitely depression-emptiness
Will yawn before you.

284.

My soul's divinity
Is indeed a prominent authority
On the subject of world-peace.

285.

Your greatness might
But your goodness will not
Cause any heart to sink.

286.

From birth to birth
And death to death,
My life will only evolve
Forward and upward
And not revert
Backward and downward.

287.

Why is surrender
First in everything?
Because surrender alone
Claims God as its very own.

288.

God's Compassion
May become tired of me,
But God's Forgiveness
Will never be tired of me.

289.

My inner eagerness
And my outer readiness
Have the capacity
To defy my fate.

290.

Love is the eye that the soul uses
To see the world.
Oneness is the heart that the soul uses
To feel and become the world.

291.

I pray to God
To give me the capacity
To unlearn everything
That my mind has taught me
Over the years.

292.

My God-surrender-life
Is walking, marching and running
Faster than the fastest
Towards my Beloved Lord Supreme.

293.

My heart's peace-garden
Has been well-nurtured
By God's Compassion-flooded Eye.

294.

I am so happy
That my mind is willingly
And my heart is eagerly
Turning towards God's Will.

295.

The Pathway that is God's
Has to be
My eagerness-life's path
As well.

296.

God blessingfully tells
My aspiration-heart
That one day it will definitely
Be able to please Him
In His own Way.

297.

O my mind,
Do not blame God for your failures.
Blame yourself.
Blame your stupid unwillingness
To accept God's Light.

298.

To Infinity's peace
My aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life
Have together turned.

299.

Negativity
Is a fast-acting doubt-poison
To destroy
Our God-realisation-hunger.

300.

O my life's wailing wings of sorrow,
God's fast-descending Compassion-Feet
Will soon console you.
