I came into the world all alone,
But now I have become many.
Do You know why?
Precisely because I have seen You.
You are my eternal Friend.

I am Your liberation-child.
Like Jesus in the lap of Mary,
I always stay in Your Lap.

Translation
Christ takes human incarnation.
Countless souls sing his victory-song.
Mother Mary’s eyes are flooded with gratitude-pride.
This world of darkness-cave
Enjoys the aspiration of diamond-light.
We are all friends. We see no foe,
For Jesus is a flame of the Light Supreme.
The Lord Supreme is smiling
Inside the flower and fruit-garden
Of humanity.

Jesus, Jesus!
Sleeplessly and breathlessly
I repeat the Name of Lord Jesus.
Deep I dive
In His Consciousness Universal.
He is the Father of the world.
For all He is.

We repeat His Name countless times.
Without the Christ Consciousness,
Our life is totally lost.
Christ is for all.
He is our Divinity’s Son
And humanity's Father.

Translation
To manifest the reality-form of the
Kingdom of Heaven of Jesus,
Today the Lord Supreme
Has descended on earth,
The earth of sand and dust and ignorance.
Lord’s Victory, world’s victory
And the victory of humanity
Are giving birth to a new era
Of new illumination and new perfection.

Translation
Father, forgive these ignorant souls.
This is my most soulful prayer
At Your Feet.
Alas, they will never know
Where their unlit and dark action
Will lead them.
They will never know what awaits them
For their most deplorable fate.

Translation
Father, the excruciating pain from
The cross-torture
Is about to end my life at this moment.
How is it possible, Father,
That You, too, have renounced me?
Look, my forehead is swimming
In the stream of blood,
My heart is dying of immediate thirst
And the thorn-crown that I am wearing
Is far beyond my capacity to bear.

Translation
The words that flow from my mouth
Fail to reach the ears of my Lord Supreme.
My heart-cry draws my Beloved Supreme to me
Like a magnet.
O my mind, cry and cry,
The way Jesus cried for his eternal
Heavenly Father.
Renounce all that you have
And become all that you are:
God-Love.

Translation
O God-child, O Mary’s son Jesus,
You are dancing
So soulfully and beautifully
In ecstasy supreme.
Earth, sky, the stars and the sun
Sing your advent’s victory-song.
In Heaven and on earth,
In darkness-life and illumination-life,
I hear your victory-bell.

Translation
Lord Supreme,
Your son Christ has become eternally great
By offering His life to the Cross.
He has become great
By becoming humanity’s salvation-light.
I know that ungrateful humanity
Will never be able to realise the real Christ,
For what they have is a dark, stone-hearted life.

Translation
Everybody calls me mad.
Am I really mad then?
Tell me, Mother, is there anybody
Who is not mad
In Your eyes, in Your vast world?
I am ready to be known as
A foolish and mad fellow
As long as You will place me on Your Lap
And there I shall become another Christ
And another Buddha of
Compassion-Illumination.

But
With a sword
For world-redemption.
