A love-bathed heart

Return to the table of contents

1.

A love-bathed heart
Will always have
A cheerfully blossoming faith.

2.

The man of the mind
Quite often is forced
To live in self-exile.

3.

True, right now
I do not know how,
But there must be a way
For me to satisfy
My Lord Supreme
In His own Way.

4.

God's Compassion
Makes us feel
That we are really important.
But God's Compassion
Can easily remain
Independent of our service.

5.

God's Compassion
And God's Affection:
These are my only
Trusted companions.

6.

Every day I am aspiring
For a newborn hope
To break asunder
My mind's bondage-chains.

7.

May the flames of peace-torch
Kindle and awaken
Each and every world-citizen.

8.

God wants me to be
The commander of my mind
And not
The servitor of my mind.

9.

If you live
Always in the mind,
Then you are bound to arrive
At the dry shores
Of nothingness.

10.

I bow
To every God-seeking heart.
I salute
Every God-searching mind.

11.

I shall definitely succeed,
For my eyes
Are full of dreams,
And my heart
Is full of promises.

12.

Mine is the mind
That does not know
When to embark on
The God-journey.

Mine is the heart
That does not want to know
When to stop
The God-journey.

13.

Whom are you trying to fool —
God the Wisdom
Or God the Compassion?
You fool!
You cannot deceive either one.

14.

He who tells us
There is no use
In running further,
Will die
With his pessimistic cries.

15.

Beautiful
Is the sunrise of the heart.
Peaceful
Is the sunset of the mind.

16.

With peace
In your mind-pocket,
You can never be
A poor truth-seeker
And God-lover.

17.

May my inner life be
A constant
Aspiration-practice-joy.

May my outer life be
A constant
Dedication-practice-joy.

18.

A child of God-dreams
Lives not
In the mind of the future,
But in the heart
Of the eternal Now.

19.

Actions dictated by insecurity
Will never be able
To see the face
Of life-satisfaction-victory.

20.

No matter how hard I try,
I cannot escape from
A doubtful mind,
A fearful heart
And a sorrowful life.

21.

When I pray,
I try to pray
With the beauty
Of a flower-mind.

When I meditate,
I try to meditate
With the fragrance
Of a flower-heart.

22.

What I need
Is a gratitude-heart-compass
That always points
In God-Satisfaction-direction.

23.

Is there any day
When God does not suffer
From His own
Unanswered Calls?

24.

A thought-bound life
Is undoubtedly
Mankind's
Ignorance-inheritance.

25.

God does not mind
If you do not give Him credit
For your outer success
And inner progress.
But God does mind
If you make friends
With pride and haughtiness
When success and progress
Bring you forward.

26.

The mind's absurd statement is:
God's Compassion-Voice
Remains unheard.

27.

There is nothing to choose
Between
An illusion-mind
And a confusion-life.

28.

No, the human life
Is not meant to be
A long desire-walk,
But a fast aspiration-run.

29.

When the heart cries
From devotion-depths,
God's Compassion-Light
Cannot remain hidden.

30.

Both the cries of a child-heart
And the smiles of a child-heart
Are destined to fly
In God's unhorizoned Sky.

31.

Until the soul's illumination
Takes place,
The confusion of the mind
Will blind us,
Threaten us
And frighten us.

32.

No mind-discovered
Philosophy
Can ever nourish
A God-hungry heart,
Not to speak of
God-envisioning soul.

33.

You are bound to succeed fast,
Very fast,
In the inner life,
If you cheerfully
And soulfully feed
Each and every
Aspiration-flame
Of your heart.

34.

Every day
My soul compassionately
Whispers to my mind:
"My child, move out of
The desire-neighbourhood
Immediately.
Do not delay."

35.

May my life be found
Only in my high
Aspiration-hopes,
And nowhere else.

36.

My Lord is always happy
To be able to be proud
Of my continued
Progress-smile-eyes.

37.

In vain the doubting mind
Tries to keep
The aspiring heart
From its daily
God-correspondence.

38.

By singing only God-songs,
We can strengthen
Our upward longing
And inward diving.

39.

The hope
Of my heart dies
When my mind
Does not cry.

40.

God's Forgiveness
Does not mind
When we blame God
For our mistakes.
But God's Forgiveness
Does mind
When we blame
Other human beings
For our mistakes.

41.

A life empty of devotion
Cannot be free from
A ceaseless desire-hunger.

42.

Love the world
With your heart's dreams.
Serve the world
With your life's promises.

43.

My Lord,
Will You ever smile at me?
I have completely exhausted
All my capacities
Inner and outer
To make You smile at me.

44.

The sincere heart
Works for God
Untiringly.

The clever mind
Works for God
Only when God is looking.

45.

God's Justice-Hand slaps us
Not to hurt us,
But to perfect us
And remind us
Of our divine destiny.

46.

Desire-hunger does not know
What God-Satisfaction is.
Aspiration-hunger does not
Even want to know
Anything other than
God-Satisfaction.

47.

The strength of the body,
The energy of the vital,
The clarity of the mind,
The purity of the heart
And the divinity of the soul
God created
To please the capacity
Of His own Vision-Eye.

48.

Even for a fleeting second
If you make friends
With doubt,
You may suffer from
A tragic aspiration-shortage.
