A love-bathed heart
1.
A love-bathed heartWill always have
A cheerfully blossoming faith.
2.
The man of the mindQuite often is forced
To live in self-exile.
3.
True, right nowI do not know how,
But there must be a way
For me to satisfy
My Lord Supreme
In His own Way.
4.
God's CompassionMakes us feel
That we are really important.
But God's Compassion
Can easily remain
Independent of our service.
5.
God's CompassionAnd God's Affection:
These are my only
Trusted companions.
6.
Every day I am aspiringFor a newborn hope
To break asunder
My mind's bondage-chains.
7.
May the flames of peace-torchKindle and awaken
Each and every world-citizen.
8.
God wants me to beThe commander of my mind
And not
The servitor of my mind.
9.
If you liveAlways in the mind,
Then you are bound to arrive
At the dry shores
Of nothingness.
10.
I bowTo 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 mindThat 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 usThere is no use
In running further,
Will die
With his pessimistic cries.
15.
BeautifulIs the sunrise of the heart.
Peaceful
Is the sunset of the mind.
16.
With peaceIn your mind-pocket,
You can never be
A poor truth-seeker
And God-lover.
17.
May my inner life beA constant
Aspiration-practice-joy.
May my outer life be
A constant
Dedication-practice-joy.
18.
A child of God-dreamsLives not
In the mind of the future,
But in the heart
Of the eternal Now.
19.
Actions dictated by insecurityWill 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 needIs a gratitude-heart-compass
That always points
In God-Satisfaction-direction.
23.
Is there any dayWhen God does not suffer
From His own
Unanswered Calls?
24.
A thought-bound lifeIs undoubtedly
Mankind's
Ignorance-inheritance.
25.
God does not mindIf 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 chooseBetween
An illusion-mind
And a confusion-life.
28.
No, the human lifeIs not meant to be
A long desire-walk,
But a fast aspiration-run.
29.
When the heart criesFrom devotion-depths,
God's Compassion-Light
Cannot remain hidden.
30.
Both the cries of a child-heartAnd the smiles of a child-heart
Are destined to fly
In God's unhorizoned Sky.
31.
Until the soul's illuminationTakes place,
The confusion of the mind
Will blind us,
Threaten us
And frighten us.
32.
No mind-discoveredPhilosophy
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 dayMy soul compassionately
Whispers to my mind:
"My child, move out of
The desire-neighbourhood
Immediately.
Do not delay."
35.
May my life be foundOnly in my high
Aspiration-hopes,
And nowhere else.
36.
My Lord is always happyTo be able to be proud
Of my continued
Progress-smile-eyes.
37.
In vain the doubting mindTries 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 hopeOf my heart dies
When my mind
Does not cry.
40.
God's ForgivenessDoes 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 devotionCannot be free from
A ceaseless desire-hunger.
42.
Love the worldWith 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 heartWorks for God
Untiringly.
The clever mind
Works for God
Only when God is looking.
45.
God's Justice-Hand slaps usNot to hurt us,
But to perfect us
And remind us
Of our divine destiny.
46.
Desire-hunger does not knowWhat 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 secondIf you make friends
With doubt,
You may suffer from
A tragic aspiration-shortage.
