Retirement not granted
1.
God does not want meTo have any retirement,
Not to speak of
Early retirement.
2.
God with the FormAwakens me.
God without the Form
Beckons me.
3.
Conches blewAnd trumpets blared
In Heaven
When my life became
An unconditional surrender
To God's Will.
4.
I stand beforeMy Lord's Eye,
But I sing inside
My Lord's Heart.
5.
A self-reliance-manUnawares
Is hastening
His own doom.
6.
A God-reliance-manIs, indeed,
God's successor.
7.
God's Compassion-EyeSows;
Man's gratitude-heart
Reaps.
8.
Whomever I meetOn my way to God,
I ask only one thing:
Does God really love me?
This question has completely
Occupied my mind.
9.
Alas,Who will meet me
And tell me that
God is waiting for me?
10.
Silence-teacherIs ignored.
Sound-preacher
Is extolled.
11.
When I walk towards God,God happily
Shakes hands with me.
12.
When I fly towards God,God proudly
Embraces me.
13.
Self-confidenceFounded upon
Self-importance
Is the most deplorable
Stupidity.
14.
O insecurity-cherishingSeekers,
Can you not hear
God's warning Bell
Ringing?
15.
God loves us equally,Even on the days we enjoy
Our ignorance-desire-life.
16.
God safely breathesInside our minds
Only when our minds
Sincerely smile
At Him.
17.
My oneness-heartNever participates
In my mind's
Comparison-game.
18.
Do you not believeIn God's Promise
That He will NEVER
Fail you?
19.
My blossoming soul-flowerIs singing and dancing
Inside
My morning heart-garden.
20.
Arise in the morning,Proclaiming
The Victory of God
Inside the body
Of humanity.
21.
Smile in the evening,Proclaiming
The Victory of God
Inside the breath
Of humanity.
22.
I prayerfully give GodThe green leaves
Of my
Surrender-life-tree.
23.
My soul's peaceIs
My heart's feast.
24.
My Lord,Do You know
That Your worst punishment
Is Your Indifference-Eye?
25.
May each forward step of mineBe blessed
By God's ever-new Face.
26.
May my heartBe precious
In quality-fragrance.
27.
May my lifeBe gracious
In quantity-beauty.
28.
In the inner life,Self-doubt is
The worst possible
Nightmare.
29.
My self-giving lifeAttracts God's Attention
Sooner than at once.
30.
Power rises and falls.This is the very nature
Of power.
31.
Love rises and risesAnd rises —
High, higher, highest.
This is the very nature
Of love.
32.
What has fetteredMy heart and my life,
If not my mind's misuse
Of my freedom?
33.
Every dayGod wants my heart
To be
An ultra-distance lover.
34.
May my mindBecome
An inspiration-mountain.
35.
May my heartBecome
An aspiration-fountain.
36.
May my lifeBecome
A dedication-train.
37.
My heart is always readyTo embrace my mind
With infinite affection.
38.
Alas,My mind is never ready
Even to say hello
To my heart.
39.
God blessingfully tellsThe regularity-seekers
To sit at His Feet.
40.
God fondly tellsThe regularity-punctuality-
Seekers
To come and sing
Inside His Heart-Garden.
41.
My mind desiresTo have an interview
With God
The Greatness-Height.
42.
My heart pinesTo have an interview
With God
The Goodness-Light.
43.
My life wishesTo have an interview
With God
The Forgiveness-Delight.
44.
My Lord,Do give me the heart
Of a million tears
To embrace the dust
Of Your Feet.
45.
My God-acceptance-mindIs good.
46.
My God-dependence-heartIs very good.
47.
My God-surrender-lifeIs very, very good.
48.
On my wayTo God's Palace,
I am my gratitude-heart.
49.
On my way backFrom God's Palace,
I am my surrender-life.
50.
My sweet heart-melodiesAre the sweet results
Of my sweet Lord's
Sweet Flute.
