And left His Golden Footprints
For us to follow.
107.
God blessed usWith His Compassion-magnet,
And we offered God

And the heart-tear that sparkled.

The fragrance-breezeOf our souls
Carried us across
An infinite horizon.
111.
The peace-dove of lightShowed us the direct way
To fly
To God's Immortality-flooded Kingdom.
112.
Long before the birth of the performance,The catastrophe of unwillingness
Was buried in the oblivion-cave.
113.
Many a timeThe performer and the audience
Were wonderstruck
By God's celestial Lightning-Beauty.
114.
The human egoRecognised at long last
Its long-cherished absurdity.

'Impossibility.'

The divine atmosphere
We all created.
117.
God blessingfully touched our hearts.Lo, dispelled was our ignorance-dream-sleep
Sooner than at once!
118.
By virtue of our gratitude-hearts,We unreservedly enjoyed
Our God-surrender-sweetness.
119.
The thought-free hoursHelped our hearts to soar
And our lives to roar.
120.
God Himself applaudedOur each and every
God-manifestation-service-attempt.
121.
We saw the FaceOf God's Love
And became the Heart
Of God's Peace.
122.
Our heart's teeming aspiration-flamesFrightened the earth-bound desires
Of our minds.
123.
God the Compassion abolishedOur thought-bondage-slavery.
124.
Silence infinitely increasedThe beauty of my soul
And amplified
The duty of my life.
125.
We shall definitely and unquestionablyLive up to God's God-Fulfilment-Dreams
In us and through us.
126.
From now onIgnorance-night will be compelled
To lose its secret interest
In humanity.
127.
Doubt, the bringer of sad and bad news,Failed to find an entrance
To the heart-temple of music.
128.
The fast-approaching 21st centuryWill establish the fragrance
Of the soul-music
And banish the thunderstorm-music
Of the vital.
129.
The sweetness-music of the soulWill ultimately defeat
The very breath of vital music.
130.
Our Lord entered our heart-templeAs a Guest,
But soon became our life-Host.
131.
The sole and single criterion of TruthIs Peace.
Peace our mind saw.
Peace our heart felt.
Peace our life became.
132.
From the strengthOf our aspiration-heart,
We unmistakably felt
That mankind would soon be ready
To herald God's supreme Victory.
133.
The mind that had cravedWorld-appreciation
Today longed only for
God's Satisfaction in God's own Way.
134.
The dark smoke of earth-bound desireWas nowhere visible
In the temple of heart-music.
135.
The most significant cosmic godsAnd goddesses
Came down with their
Infinity's Smile
And Immortality's Affection
To bless the climbing aspiration-hearts.
136.
The Avatars,The spiritual Masters, too,
Of the supreme Heights
Came down to bless
The ever-memorable occasion.
137.
For the first time we sawThat time was totally against
Ignorance-night-pride
And won!
138.
Although God had so many pressing problemsTo deal with,
He happily came and proudly swam
In the devotion-tears of our hearts.
139.
God Himself came downTo teach our obedience
How to keep out of
Any trouble whatsoever.
140.
Our surrender-heartHanded our life totally over
To our Lord Beloved Supreme.
141.
To God,We gave our very best.
To us,
His All He gave.
142.
Aspiration taught us patience.Patience taught us faith.
Faith taught us God-discovery
And self-mastery.
143.
Every moment was a cascadeOf God-Satisfaction-opportunities.
144.
We all aspiredTo go high, higher, highest
And not to acquire
Much, more, most.
145.
God's Compassion-Feet we desired,But He gave us His Satisfaction-Heart
Instead.
146.
Our aspiration-heart-boatPlied between
The newness-shore-beauty
And the fulness-shore-fragrance.
147.
In us was born the abiding peaceOf a oneness-world-home.
148.
In the past,Our aspiration-heart
Had always been right
In God's Eye,
But this time His Heart declared:
"Absolutely perfect!"
149.
Swiftly God came.Happily God stayed.
Proudly God returned.
150.
On His return Journey,God did not go alone.
Our surrender-life and gratitude-heart
Accompanied Him.
