101 Death-Dance...
DEATH-DANCE
I met God in Heaven.
He asked me
How I was.
I met man on earth.
He wanted me to tell
How he was.
I met Satan in hell.
He told me that he had
Adopted a new course of life:
He prays to God every day,
He meditates on God every day,
He even loves God every day.
I met myself in the doubt-tornado
Of my mind, lost all:
Death-dance within, without.
102 When I Appreciate Myself...
WHEN I APPRECIATE MYSELF
When I appreciate myself
Humanity ridicules me,
Divinity enlightens me.
Divinity tells me that
My appreciation-power
Is nowhere near my achievement-height.
Humanity tells me that
My 'whole' is but a big hole.
103 Came And Left...
CAME AND LEFT
Great men came
And
Great men left.
The world was sleeping.
Good men came
And
Good men left.
The world was snoring.
Small men came
And
Lost their vision.
The world is now treating
their blind souls.
Bad men came
And
Lost their passports.
The world is now examining
their careless souls.

MY JOURNEY, MY GOAL
My life is my journey,
My love is my goal.

109 Don't Be Afraid!...
DON'T BE AFRAID!
Don't be afraid!
He is just a man-dog
Who is barking at you.
Don't be afraid!
He is just a God-lion
Who is roaring to inspire you,
To energise you,
To immortalise you.

115 A Tree Without Roots...
A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS
Love without life
Is a tree without roots.
Life without love
Is a tree without fruits.
Beauty without purity
Is a tree without roots.
Purity without beauty
Is a tree without fruits.

Prayer goes up;
God the Compassion comes down.
Aspiration goes up;
God the Salvation comes down.
Meditation goes up;

118 Pessimist, Optimist, Realist...
PESSIMIST, OPTIMIST, REALIST
A pessimist is he
Who shuts his eyes
To the rising sun.
An optimist is he
Who looks up and sees
Through the teeming clouds.
A realist is he
Who faces the clouds
And adores the sun.
119 Perfection...
PERFECTION
Perfection, what is it?
A smile of the Beyond.
Perfection, where is it?
In the heart of the Infinite.
Perfection, who has it?
The Absolute alone.
120 My Progress...
MY PROGRESS
Fear and Power begin my morn.
Doubt and Light begin my noon.
Depression and Peace begin my eve.
God and I discuss my progress at night.
121 Nothing To Declare...
NOTHING TO DECLARE
His body has nothing to declare
Save and except
The flood of impurity.
His vital has nothing to declare
Save and except
The dance of a mad elephant.
His smile has nothing to declare
Save and except
The strength of an ant.
His heart has nothing to declare
Save and except
The constant fear of death.
His soul has nothing to declare
Save and except
The Compassion-moon of the Supreme.
122 Far Beyond The Command...
FAR BEYOND THE COMMAND
A poet is born,
Neither made nor paid.
A singer is born,
Not made, but paid.
An artist is born,
Destined to starve and feast.
A philosopher is made,
Paid, but ridiculed.
A thinker is made
More than paid.
A God-lover is far beyond the command
Of life and death.
For he has what God is: Divinity's Smile.
123 My Depression-Winter, ...
MY DEPRESSION-WINTER,
MY DESTRUCTION-SUMMER
Poor God!
When He visits my home
I am not there.
When He visits my store
I am not there.
When He visits my friends
I am not there.
Where can God find me?
Ah! He can find me
In the cold-life of my depression-winter,
In the heat-life of my destruction-summer.
124 A Constant And A Rare Guest...
A CONSTANT AND A RARE GUEST
A constant human guest is
Never
Welcome, we know.
A rare human guest is
Most sincerely,
Most devotedly
Welcome, we know.
A constant guest at God's Door is
More than
Welcome, my soul says.
A rare guest at God's Door is
Always
Welcome, my heart says.
125 The Hospital Of The Incurable...
THE HOSPITAL OF THE INCURABLE
There is no difference
Between
The suspicion-mind
And
The hospital of the incurable.
There is no difference
Between
The depression-vital
And
The hospital of the incurable.
There is no difference
Between
The insecurity-heart
And
The hospital of the incurable.
There is no difference
Between
The impurity-body
And
The hospital of the incurable.
This is my proud earth-bound human realisation.
Lo, my Heaven-free divine Realisation
Laughs and laughs
At my human achievement-heights.
126 Only One Subject...
ONLY ONE SUBJECT
His body is ignorant of only one subject:
Awaking!

Enlarging!
His heart is ignorant of only one subject:
Crying!
His soul is ignorant of only one subject:
Illumining!
127 When I Rest...
WHEN I REST
When I rest, I rust.
When I rust, I starve my God-life.
When I starve my God-life, death invites me
To dance in the desert-heart
Of tornado-night.
128 Falsehood-Load, Falsehood-Net...
FALSEHOOD-LOAD, FALSEHOOD-NET
His soul does not know
How to tell a lie.
His heart knows
How to tell a lie
But it will not do so.
He asked God if he should
Love them equally.
God said to him he must,
For God Himself
Loves them equally.
Because of God's love for his soul,
God did not burden it
With falsehood-load.
Because of God's love for his heart,
God warns and cautions it
Against falsehood-net.

Great fortune

My enemies
Are my future friends.
My friends

Are my future Suns.
My Suns

136 Thinking...
THINKING
You are too lazy to think.
He knows nothing but thinking.
The human world
Knows not how to think.
Therefore
It most deplorably sinks.
The divine world
Blesses the thought-sea,
Transforms the thought-sea,
And offers the will-sun
To the thought-sea.
137 Who Has, Is...
WHO HAS, IS
Who has, is.
Who is, sows.
Who sows, glows.
Who glows, liberates.
Who liberates, perfects.
Who perfects, has.
Who has, is.
138 A Time When He Shall Surrender...
A TIME WHEN HE SHALL SURRENDER
There was a time
When he could;
Therefore
He did.
Now he cannot;
Therefore
He cries.
There shall be a time
When he shall surrender;
Therefore
God Himself will have to do
Everything for him,
And He will.
139 My Blunders...
MY BLUNDERS
My failure
Enlarged my blunders.
My success
Covered my blunders.
My progress
Illumined my blunders.
My illumined blunders
Have added much light
To my perfect perfection-sea.
140 Say And Give...
SAY AND GIVE
The animal in me
Has to say something.
The human in me
Has something to say.
The divine in me
Says and gives.
The Supreme in me
Just gives and gives.
141 God Loves Him...
GOD LOVES HIM
His prayer is his lip-homage,

Of the Realisation-Tree?
149 The Story Of The Human World...
THE STORY OF THE HUMAN WORLD
Human help
Waxes to wane.
Human love
Grows to decay.
Human life
Lives to die.
Human death
Rests to re-enter.
This is indeed the story
Of the human world.
