But now do give me
A chance, at least.

143. Absence of pain, absence of joy

The absence of pain
Is not the presence of joy.
The absence of joy
Is not the presence of pain.

The absence of pain
Is the presence of our love for God.
The absence of joy
Is the presence of our love for ourselves only.

144. I have two worlds

I have two worlds:
Human and divine.
My human world is too small
And it always wants to remain small.
My divine world is larger than the largest,
And yet it always longs
For its self-enlargement.

145. My poor friend God

Unlike my human friends,
My poor friend God has completely
Run out of His Advice-drops.
What now He has
Is His Compassion-sea.

146. My two friends

Regularity, my friend,
You think of me
With your concern-shower.

Punctuality, my friend,
I think of you
With my surrender-power.

147. I treasure

Somnolence-world my body treasures.
Aggression-world my vital treasures.
Desire-world my mind treasures.
Love-world my heart treasures.
Delight-world my soul treasures.

148. Desire, will and surrender

Desire feels
It can eventually create a new world.
Will knows
It can immediately create a new world.
Surrender reveals the mystery supreme
That God has already created for it
A new world.

149. I have yet to discover

My soul-essence is God:
That I have already discovered.
My life-substance is God:
That I have yet to discover.
God alone knows
When I shall succeed
Or
Whether I shall ever succeed at all.

150. Hide-and-seek

My faith and doubt
Played hide-and-seek.
Finally my faith realised
That it wanted to play a new game: God-game.
Doubt admitted it was an unhealthy game
And gave up the game altogether.
It did not care for any other game.

151. He will win in the end

He will win in the end.
Although he is failing
In loving the world
In God's own way,

In becoming supremely divine
In God's own way,
He will win in the end.

I am of God.
Therefore
My gratitude-plant
Loves God.

I am for God.
Therefore
God's Satisfaction-food
Immortalises me.

153. Do not let them worry you

Do not let them worry you.
After all,
Fear is a tiny ball,
Doubt is a tiny plant
And
Impurity is a tiny pond.
You can throw the fear-ball away,
Far away.
You can uproot the doubt-plant;
You easily can.
You can stop swimming in the impurity-pond;
Immediately you can.

154. With such speed

With speed faster than a thought
I have cast aside
My earth-experience.

With speed slower than a tortoise
I have embraced
My Heaven-realisation.

As you feel.

Spend some time in seeing.
Earth is not as stupid
As you see.

His incessant earth-pains.

His is the cry
That knows how to multiply
His infinite Heaven-gains.

Please accept me
As your disciple.
I shall not disappoint you.
I was born with sincerity.

Please accept me
As your Master.
I shall not deceive you.
I shall die with sincerity.

158. You want progress

You want success.
Lo, success has come to you.
You want progress.
Then you must go to progress.
Where is it?
It is inside the heart
Of God's Satisfaction-smile.

159. Your memory is failing you

Your memory is failing you.
You did love God.
Your memory is failing you.
You did consider God
Your best Friend,
Your only Friend.

160. My will-life

My thought-life
Chases humanity-fox away.
My will-life
Embraces divinity-dog unconditionally.

With his past follies.
Let us illumine him.

His mind is busy
With his future glories.
Let us warn him.

Therefore,
I dare to become,
And I will become.

God is on my side.
Therefore,
I am,
I eternally am.

He is prepared
To abandon even Mother Earth
Because
She is too slow.

To abandon even Father Heaven
Because
He is too fast.

I am proud of my mind
Because
It is powerful enough
To lessen my earth-pangs.

I am proud of my heart
Because
It is powerful enough
To hasten the Hour of God.

165. A sacred smile

My earth-life
Is a secret sorrow
Of my dying heart.

My Heaven-life
Is a sacred smile
Of my challenging soul.

166. Two declarations

I look at God and declare:
Truth is all.
God looks at me and declares:
All is truth.

167. I do not need any other

I do not need
Any other weapon
To conquer my frustration-night.
My dedication-weapon
Is enough.

I do not need
Any other path
To reach my realisation-goal.
My meditation-path of surrender-light
Is more than enough.

168. The beginning and the end

The end is important,
And not the beginning.
Look at your totally transformed
Vital life.

The beginning is as important
As the end.
Look at your soul-promise
To Mother Earth
For God-manifestation.

169. News travels

Sad news travels fast:
I forget to feed humanity.
Good news travels slowly:
I love to serve humanity.

170. What we ask is impossible!

What you ask is impossible!
I cannot give you my duty's smile.
What I ask is impossible!
You cannot give me your heart's cry.

171. No time left

No time left.
Please forgive me, Lord,
Immediately.

No time left.
I have accepted you, Lord,
Unreservedly.

172. When they die

When my success dies,
Forgetfulness deletes it.
When my progress dies,
God revives it
Immediately
And
Cheerfully.

173. They were happy

Earth was happy
When I heard
About the Goal-seed.

Heaven was happy
When I saw the face
Of the Goal-plant.

God was happy
When I became
The Goal-Tree.

Sweet dreams, my sweet dreams,
Are you really real?
I think you are.

Hard realities, my hard realities,
Are you not always false?
I know you are.

God has not said a word.
It is I who have told you
That God does not care for you.
I hate myself for this inconsiderate lie!

God has not said a word.
It is you who have told me
That God does not need me.
I hate you for this deliberate lie!

176. Alas!

My body sees no door.
Alas!
My mind sees no shore.
Alas!
My vital wants to roar.
Alas!
My heart fails to soar.
Alas!

177. The life of failure

Yours is the life
Of bombastic failure.
I feel sorry for you.

Mine is the life
Of soundless failure.
You may not feel sorry for me,
But God does.
He always feels sorry for me.

178. What has the courage?

What has the patient courage?
My life-seed.
What has the immediate courage?
My life-tree.
What has the eternal courage?
My life-fruit.

179. My Heaven-life, my earth-life

My Heaven-life
Was a birthless and deathless dream.
I enjoyed it.

Is an uncharted fruitless waste.
I am trying to enjoy it.

Inside you, inside
Your purity-body.

Is the perfection-seed.
My life-substance
Is the determination-soil.

Is a rainbow of encouraging hopes.

My divine life
Is a rainbow of fulfilling scope.

One God-realised man
In every self-sacrifice!
One God-manifested man
In each perfection-flame!

184. You saw the light of day

Not to swerve from the path of truth
You saw the light of day.

To serve man and become perfect
You saw the light of day.

To become the Satisfaction-silence of God
You saw the light of day.

A self-imposed torture.

A self-ridiculed torture.

As God, the only God.

I wish to share them with you
If I may:

One day
They will learn
To love her.
Her ignorance-disciples
Will love her.

They will learn
To value her.
Her aspiration-disciples
Will value her.

What are you doing, Master?
"I am thinking of you."
Is that so?
Thank you, Master.

What were you doing
Before I came, Master?
"I was thinking of you."
Is that so?
Thank you, Master.

What will you be doing, Master,
After I leave you?
"I will be thinking of you."
Is that so?
Thank you, Master.

Necessity taught me
How to become a Yogi.

Integrity has taught me
How to become a poet.

Curiosity is teaching me
How to become an artist.

From the world at large.

For the illumination-sea.

Not in your giant mind
But in your baby-heart
I see not only the Heart of God
But also His whole Body
And His real Soul.

It entirely depends
On your mental state.
Who is God?
Undoubtedly the life-loving
Self in you.

If you want to live
Only for yourself,
You will die
Before you close your eyes.

If you want to live
For God and God alone,
You will save and illumine
Not only your little world,
But God's entire world.

198. How can I, why should I?

How can I put up
With the world
When I know perfectly well
That the world is doing everything wrong?
How can I?
How can I?

Why should I shut up
When God is asking me
To teach the world constantly
And
Unconditionally?
Why should I?
Why should I?

Lord, I am physically sick,
Vitally sick, mentally sick.
When are You going to cure me?
"Son, you do not have to remind Me
Of My Duty.
And I am telling you,
As long as you are not spiritually sick,
I do not worry about you."
