Twenty-seven Heart-Fragrance-Dreams

One

My Beloved Supreme,
What will I do
If You ever cancel
Your Forgiveness-Compassion-Credit Cards?

Two

My love of God
Has many rivals
But no critic.

Three

Yesterday God came to me
As Hope-Seed.
Today God has come to me
As a Promise-Tree.
Tomorrow God will come to me
As a Fulfilment-Fruit.

Four

Only my soul,
The baby-God in me.
Has the capacity
To properly love my Supreme,
The Father-God in me
And around me.

Five

Oneness-heart-children
Have their homes
Everywhere.

Six

May my heart never study
Life’s indifference-book.

Seven

My mind’s sound-prayer
Is my first resort.
My heart’s silence-meditation
Is my last resort.

Eight

God’s Justice-Hand
Makes strict rules.
God’s Compassion-Heart
Makes innumerable exceptions.

Nine

God’s Compassion-Eye
Never uses
Justice-Glasses.

Ten

What my heart needs
Is cosmic beauty,
And not cosmetic beauty.

Eleven

Two things the mind
Does not want:
It does not want
To step back;
It does not want
God to lead.

Twelve

Each good thought
Adds a new God-dimension
To my dedication-life.

Thirteen

No
Oneness-heart-crop,
No
Peace-life-harvest.

Fourteen

Even
At its infancy,
Doubt
Is most dangerous.

Fifteen

My Lord’s Heart
Is too compassionate
To contradict
My arrogance-mind.

Sixteen

My Lord Supreme cannot believe
That I spend daily
At least five hours
In my mind’s complaint-department.

Seventeen

A gratitude-heart
Aspires.
An ingratitude-mind
Expires.

Eighteen

A limited mind
Houses unlimited thoughts.

Nineteen

A tiny heart
Embodies the Infinite.

Twenty

My mind-thought
Is a two-way street.
My heart-will
Is a one-way street.

Twenty-One

“I cannot love
And I do not love
God”
Is an old story
Of my mind.

Twenty-Two

“I can love
And I do love
God”
Is an ever-new song
Of my heart.

Twenty-Three

God teaches
Only the heart-singers
His peace-songs.

Twenty-Four

Who was I?
An anxiety-invaded mind.
Who am I?
A peace-expanded heart.

Twenty-Five

God always wants me to live
In my heart-industry.
But I always love to live
In my mind-factory.

Twenty-Six

God has forgiven me
So that I can once more
Love myself.

Twenty-Seven

God is extremely proud of Himself
Only when He can run to and fro
Between my heart’s gratitude-tears
And my life’s surrender-smiles.
