Take your God-search seriously
1.
The human in us quite oftenBeats frustration-drums.
The divine in us always
Plays illumination-flute.
2.
O seeker, do you not realiseWhat you are doing?
Every day, just because
You pray and meditate,
You feel that you have the right
To make extravagant demands
Upon God.
3.
Only if you live in the heartCan you expect to feel
The presence of your soul.
Otherwise, you will be nothing but
Your mind's insane
Hurry and worry.
4.
Is there any mindThat does not think
It can easily be
A God-specialist?
5.
When the mind livesIn its own negativity-cave,
The divine in us
Painfully hides.
6.
Quite often expectation embodiesBad news and sad news.
Therefore, we must be careful
Of our sundry expectations.
7.
My Lord Supreme,Help me, help me
To hurry home,
Where Your Love's
Ocean-Delight is.
8.
Delight and self-givingWere born at the same time
And will always live
Together.
9.
No matter how negligibleAnd insignificant
Your ignorance-thoughts are,
They are bound to obstruct and delay
Your Heavenward march.
10.
If we do not pray and meditate,Then we are foolishly waiting
For help that will never arrive.
11.
O seeker,You have made tremendous progress
Now that you do not have
Even an iota of faith
In your mind-vital-train.
12.
God does not mindIf you do not understand Him
When He speaks to you.
You can be sure
He is not going to make
His point clearer
Just because you want Him
To make you understand
What He is saying.
His Vision-Light is not
Something to understand
But something to love and love
And eventually grow into.
13.
When my expectation risesWith the morning sun,
My frustration begins
With the setting sun.
14.
If you allow your mindTo leave its door wide open
To doubt,
Then God-blossoming faith
You will never be able to claim
As your own.
15.
O obedience,How sweet is your smile!
O obedience,
How pure is your song!
O obedience,
How perfect is your breath!
16.
If your life revolves around God,Then only are you entitled
To prayerfully claim God's Vision-Eye
And His universal Heart
As your own.
17.
The heart is always eagerTo tell the world
That its excellence-life
Entirely belongs to
God's Compassion-Light.
18.
Be not afraidTo think high thoughts.
Today's high thoughts
Will tomorrow blossom
Into an omnipotent Will.
19.
Are you sureThat you are worshipping
Your Lord Supreme
At His Shrine?
See if perhaps by mistake
You have been all along
Worshipping yourself
At your mind-shrine.
20.
The divine dignityOf a seeker's sleepless obedience
Can give the seeker
Tremendous inspiration,
Tremendous enthusiasm
And tremendous delight.
21.
Each good thoughtInside your silence-mind
Is indeed a peace-seed,
And before long these seeds
Will be able to enjoy
Their golden harvest.
22.
An ordinary man is possessedBy his possessions.
A spiritual man fulfils himself
By being possessed by God alone.
23.
The moment we accept desire-lifeTo please ourselves,
Our aspiration-death
Starts nearing us.
24.
A true lover of peaceEventually becomes
A perfect giver of peace.
25.
You can be freeFrom worldly entanglement
If you can convince yourself
That Heavenly enlightenment
Is your sleepless and breathless choice.
26.
There is not a single dayThat God does not invite our heart
To meditate.
But at times our heart is dominated
By the unwillingness
Of the vital and the mind.
27.
If surrender is notThe strongest point in your life,
How can you make
The fastest progress in spirituality?
28.
When I lookInto each and every corner
Of my heart-room,
I see only one thing:
God's Compassion-Eye.
29.
Ignorance does not know the wayTo go forward, to dive deep within
Or to fly upward.
It only knows the way
To go backward.
30.
My poor Lord, every dayWhen I enter into Your Heart,
I see nothing but countless wounds.
31.
I struggleFor my world-supremacy.
God struggles
For my heart-intimacy.
32.
My self-loveAlways stands against
My Lord's Promise-Blossoms.
33.
If I can becomeAn unconditionally surrendered
Instrument of God,
Temptation is bound to avoid me.
34.
Doubt, suspicion and arrogance —These are the three
Almost incurable diseases
Of the mind.
35.
A genuine aspiration-heartCan definitely free itself
From ever-mounting desires.
36.
Are you looking for God?God is coming.
I hope you will be ready
To receive God in God's own Way.
If not, frustration will eclipse
Your hope-sun.
37.
No yesterday and no tomorrowFor those who love
God-manifestation!
God-manifestation has to take place
Here and now.
38.
Who is ruling your life?If you are aspiring,
Then God Himself is ruling your life.
But if you are in the desire-world,
Then your mind
Is definitely ruling your life.
39.
Free yourselfFrom your self-chosen bondage!
God wants you to enjoy
The beauty and fragrance
Of universal freedom.
40.
The reason you fail to see GodIs simple:
You have lost your hunger
For God's Heart-manifestation
On earth.
41.
If you listen to temptation-songs,How can you expect God
To dance His Illumination-Dance
For you?
42.
Every day I love and treasureGod's Forgiveness-Footsteps
Inside my aspiration-heart.
43.
God does not mindIf you imitate Him,
But He does mind
If you doubt Him.
44.
Just one unguarded momentCan create lifelong suffering
For us.
45.
My doubting mind,I am determined to irritate you.
My loving heart,
I am determined to please you
Above everything.
46.
God did give youThe first chance,
But your desire-bound mind
Ruined everything!
47.
A heart of devotionAnd a life of gratitude
Know no parallel.
48.
The beauty of surrenderBlesses us
With a perfection-bliss-life.
49.
Humility is notA world-conquering reality
But a world-elevating
And world-transforming reality.
50.
Take your God-search seriouslyIf you want to make your soul,
Your heart and your life
Happy eternally.
