My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 42

11

```

The outer appearance

Is not

The real life.

```

APR 3382. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 7 December 2005.↩

2

```

The deeper existence

Is

The pure and real life.

```

3

```

Peace of mind never comes

By not accepting

The world.

```

4

```

Peace of mind comes

By loving the world

And by becoming the world.

```

5

```

An unconditional God-lover

And God-server

Is the real cynosure

Of all human eyes. ```

6

```

God’s Pride

Is not

In the mind-book-volumes.

```

7

```

God’s Pride

Is

In the heart-booklet.

```

8

```

Each heart has the capacity

To be the joy and pride

Of the Universal Life.

```

9

```

I always love to be

In the audience

And not an actor.

```

10

```

God-actors

Are born actors

And not man-made.

```

112

```

Nobody can go to God

With weak faith.

```

APR 3392. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 8 December 2005.↩

12

```

This moment

My Lord is my heart’s Pilot.

Next moment

My Lord is my life’s Charioteer. ```

13

```

I keep my curious

And devoted ears

Always very close to God.

```

14

```

My soul, my heart and I

Every day

Plant hundreds of peace-trees

In my heart-garden. ```

15

```

When I peacefully sleep,

God lovingly watches

My sleep.

```

16

```

When it is a matter of strictness,

God does not know

How to calculate His strictness.

```

17

```

Anything that is divine

Has to be lived and relived

Indefinitely.

```

18

```

I love my Lord’s

Compassion-Assurance

More than anything else.

```

19

```

We are all

Heaven-sent first,

And then become

Earth-born realities. ```

20

```

A life-boat

Without aspiration-sails

Is a very sad

Failure-experience. ```

21

```

Ask not,

Want not —

Just become

Divinity’s child. ```

22

```

When I look down

To see man’s head,

I descend.

When I look up

To see my Lord’s Feet,

My life at once ascends

And transcends.

```

23

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Is an antidote

To my faith-starvation-life.

```

243

```

To choose obedience

Is to choose the seeker’s

God-pleasing life.

```

APR 3405. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 9 December 2005.↩

25

```

To choose disobedience

Is the self-destruction

Of the spiritual life.

```

26

```

I just offer

My God-pleasing willingness.

God does the rest

Most kindly, most affectionately

And most happily.

```

27

```

Ego is either

The world-satisfaction-beggar

Or the world-attention-commander.

```

28

```

If you cherish

Wrong and undivine thoughts

In God’s Presence,

Then God can do nothing,

Absolutely nothing, for you.

```

29

```

Eagerness can easily

Cross over the fence

Of the opposition parties.

```

30

```

After joining the spiritual path,

If I cannot please my Master,

Then my Lord Supreme gets

The bitterest

Disappointment-experience.

```

31

```

Alas,

The outer sun

Has passed away.

To my greatest joy,

My inner sun will not leave me —

Never! ```

32

```

This morning

I smiled and smiled

At my Lord Supreme.

He said to me,

“My child,

Today you have given Me

The most marvellous day

Of My Life!” ```

334

```

God the Heaven-Founder

Says to me,

“My child,

Sleep with Me

And dream with Me.”

```

APR 3414. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 10 December 2005.↩

34

```

God the earth-Founder

Says to me,

“My child,

Work with Me

And work for Me.”

```

35

```

My ego-pride

Is totally obsolete. ```

36

```

To my greatest joy,

My expectation-construction

Is collapsing.

```

37

```

The fastest way

To arrive at God’s Palace

Is to start with surrender.

```

38

```

Although the mind

Is often dry,

It enjoys the gossip-world

Most surprisingly. ```

39

```

God’s most powerful Utterance

God will speak first.

Then my soul and my heart will speak.

Finally my mind will speak

Slowly, quietly and respectfully.

```

40

```

God always wants

The heart of purity

To start His Cosmic Play.

```

41

```

O my stupid mind,

There is no roundabout way

To fool God.

```

42

```

Love God

Sleeplessly.

Sing God-songs for God

Untiringly.

An unimaginable God-receptivity

You will be granted from Above. ```

435

```

Today

God’s every Breath

Is blessing my God-longing

Heart-cries.

```

APR 3424. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 13 December 2005.↩

44

```

Forever and forever

I have been

God-Infinity’s dream.

```

45

```

Today my life

Is forever changed!

How?

My Lord has placed

His Thunder-Feet

On my restless mind,

Wild vital and sleeping body.

```

46

```

Like God-disobedience,

God-deception also

Cannot be concealed.

```

47

```

God’s Forgiveness-Sun

Shines equally

For His good and bad children.

```

48

```

There is not

A single human being

Who does not need

God’s Compassion-Shelter. ```

49

```

Who is hungry

For God’s Justice-Light?

Not the body,

Not the vital,

Not the mind,

But only the heart

Is ready and hungry

For God’s Justice-Light. ```

50

```

I have heard

The Call

Of Infinity’s Silence.

```

51

```

A blossoming heart

Is

Exceedingly beautiful.

```

52

```

I want the mind to live

In a desolate,

Thickest and darkest

Forest-night,

Which it rightly deserves.

```

536

```

Any time is the best time

To see God,

To be at God’s Feet

And to talk to God

In the world of silence.

But to realise God,

God chooses a special Hour.

At His choice Hour

We realise Him.

```

APR 3434. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 14 December 2005.↩

54

```

My life’s most sacred place

Is my heart-temple.

It is there,

Where I meet with God,

That I get infinite joy.

```

55

```

O leisure-class seekers,

Each time you seek,

God sheds bitter tears.

```

56

```

I sing early in the morning.

My Lord says,

“Not enough, not enough!

Fly high

In the rainbow-morning-sky.”

```

57

```

Keep

Your aspiration-breath

Alive.

```

58

```

Keep

Your dedication-muscles

Active.

```

59

```

Keep

Your heart-prayers

Soulful.

```

60

```

My joy knows no bounds

That today I have re-established

My heart-connection

With my Lord Supreme. ```

61

```

Today

My Lord’s Love-Call

Is flooded

With Affection-Smiles. ```

62

```

When God hears

Our gratitude-songs,

He immediately starts

Smiling and dancing. ```

637

```

I try to please God

In Heaven.

I try to please God

On earth.

To please God on earth

Is infinitely more difficult

Than to please God in Heaven.

```

APR 3444. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 15 December 2005.↩

64

```

Every morning

I send an invitation card

To my Lord Supreme.

He reads the card immediately

And says that He is not ready

Nor am I ready

To meet together.

```

65

```

One God-Smile is enough

To change our life

If we really want it to.

```

66

```

Poor God!

He has nobody

To whom He can

Unburden His Heart. ```

67

```

Heart-temples teach us

How to be pure,

How to be loving

And how to be self-giving. ```

68

```

To be perfect in life

One does not need

A very, very long time.

One does not have to be on earth

Hundreds of years.

```

69

```

God wants a humility-heart

To stand first,

Before anybody else.

```

70

```

I spoke to the mountains.

They told me

That they would immediately

Send me

Their mountain-deep peace.

```

71

```

The world-peace-lovers

Must accumulate

Their peace-dreams

And place them

At the Feet of God.

```

72

```

The smiling souls

And the crying hearts

Start their journey together

And end their journey together. ```
