My gratitude-tears and God's Satisfaction-Smiles

1.

```

God tells me that

My gratitude-tears

Are as beautiful as

His Satisfaction-Smiles. ```

2.

```

There are

Countless human beings

On earth

Who every day cherish

A multitude

Of fruitless fantasies. ```

3.

```

Science is soulless.

Therefore, to me,

For my spiritual perfection,

Science is useless. ```

4.

```

The heart

Has to sleeplessly give

If the life

Is to achieve

Something beautiful,

Meaningful

And fruitful.

```

5.

```

I have surprised my heart

With my mind's sincerity.

I have surprised my soul

With my heart's purity. ```

6.

```

If you want freedom

From your unhappiness,

Then pray to your soul

To cultivate smiles

In your heart-field.

```

7.

```

You want freedom

From your unhappiness.

I want you to have freedom

From

Your mind's unwillingness.

```

8.

```

Yours will be a life

Of divine surprises

If you give up

Your endless

Desiring thoughts.

```

9.

```

When everything

You hold dear

Is taken away,

And you remain

Happy and peaceful,

That is the time

God considers you to be

His choicest instrument. ```

10.

```

If faith is absent

From your heart,

Then God does not want

To live inside your heart,

For fear of suffocation.

```

11.

```

Your fear of God

Is unjust.

Your love of God

Is just.

Why do you not always

Do the right thing? ```

12.

```

Each

Enthusiasm-eagerness-

Attempt

Helps us come out of

The mind's prison.

```

13.

```

Alas, alas,

My heart's insecurity

And my mind's anxiety

Have paralysed

My inspiration-aspiration-

Dedication-life. ```

14.

```

Each inner cry

Is indeed

A hope-strengthening

God-Smile. ```

15.

```

God, how I wish

I could smile like You!

"My child,

If you can cry

Like Me,

Then certainly

I shall teach you

How to smile

Like Me."

```

16.

```

Do you want to escape

From your mind-prison?

If so, remember

Your perfection-life-promise

To God.

```

17.

```

My Lord,

Smash me asunder

When I become

The pride of ignorance-night. ```

18.

```

A confused desire-mind

Can never experience

The heart's

Gratitude-ecstasy. ```

19.

```

You can become

God's dearest

Manifestation-instrument

If you can turn your life into

A sleepless surrender-song.

```

20.

```

The fear of the mind

And

The hope of the heart

Must not live together.

They must remain

Perfect strangers. ```

21.

```

Every day

God helps me

Climb my heart's

Loftiest dream-mountain. ```

22.

```

Take a deep purity-breath.

God will immediately

Make you

His constant

Satisfaction-Delight.

```

23.

```

If necessity demands,

For a perfection-life

God changes everything

And everyone. ```

24.

```

Unlearn your mind's

Doubt and fear-messages.

Learn only your heart's

Self-giving and life-smiling

Messages.

```

25.

```

Life is true.

Life is meaningful.

Life is fruitful.

If your mind does not agree,

Then remain far beyond

The snares

Of your mental thoughts.

```

26.

```

God wants me to live

In the city

Of heart's prosperity,

And not in the city

Of mind's aridity.

```

27.

```

As I love

The divinity

Of God's Answer,

Even so, God loves

The purity

Of my question. ```

28.

```

May my life

Forever remain

A student at

The God-obedience-school. ```

29.

```

If the past's misdeeds

Chase you,

Then run

Faster than the fastest,

And remain always

Far ahead

With your present virtues.

```

30.

```

My ancient God-memories

Are not only pleasant

But are also the pathfinders

Of my

God-realisation-destination.

```

31.

```

Whenever I take

A big purity-breath,

I escape

My mind's darkest jungle. ```

32.

```

My Lord,

Do awaken me,

Bless me,

Prepare me

And finally make me

All Yours. ```

33.

```

Not your mind's pride

But your oneness-heart

Has the capacity

To carry the weight

Of the entire world.

```

34.

```

To make my life

Supremely fruitful,

I live between

My heart's hope

And

My mind's patience. ```

35.

```

If you know only

How to love yourself

And how to care

For yourself,

Then God will never

Invite you

To be a member

Of His Perfection-

Manifestation-Team

On earth. ```

36.

```

I do not need

Any other treasure

As long as I can

Safely keep my heart

As my only treasure.

```

37.

```

Alas,

My poor aspiration-heart

Is being strangled

Between my leisure-mind

And my pleasure-vital.

```

38.

```

O my mind,

I no longer need

Your false

Freedom-fantasies.

I now only need

My heart's true

Freedom-ecstasies.

```

39.

```

God wants me to be

Divinely loyal

To my dear friends

And

Supremely magnanimous

To my so-called enemies. ```

40.

```

If fear guides us,

Then death nears us

Sooner than the soonest.

```

41.

```

Sometimes I feel

That God does not know,

Even does not care to know,

What is happening

In my life.

But God tells me that

He does not have to know

What is happening in my life

If my life is only for myself.

```

42.

```

O seeker,

You can be divinely happy

And supremely perfect

If your heart's aspiration

Tops the list

Of your life's values. ```
