My perfection-promise to God

1.

```

My prayer

Is my perfection-promise

To God.

My meditation

Is my God-satisfaction

In God's own Way. ```

2.

```

The stupidity-expert

Will eventually be exposed.

The wisdom-expert

Will eternally be adored. ```

3.

```

My mind does not want

To remember

God's powerful Eye.

My heart tries

To remember

God's blissful Heart. ```

4.

```

My desire-tour-cancellation

Has made God

Immensely happy.

My aspiration-journey-inception

Has made God

Universally happy. ```

5.

```

God has revoked

My desire-car-license.

God has given me

A free aspiration-plane-ticket

To fly all over the world.

```

6.

```

My mind pointedly reminds me

Of all the things

That God has not done for me.

My heart lovingly reminds me

Of all the things

That God has unconditionally

Done for me.

```

7.

```

I see a new world

Of peace and bliss

Emerging from my age-old

Mind-hallucinations.

This is what

My compassion-heart

Has done for me.

```

8.

```

Put your aspiring heart

Inside your boasting mouth.

Lo, you are on your way

To arriving at

Your God-Destination.

```

9.

```

When I soulfully cry,

I see my Lord's

Smiling Eyes.

When I powerfully smile,

I see my Lord's

Fulfilled Dreams. ```

10.

```

When I live inside

My Lord's Heart-Garden,

I feel that each time

I breathe in and breathe out

A new

God-realisation-hope

And a new

God-manifestation-promise

Have become

My two real friends. ```

11.

```

My old friend

Was a thought-life.

My new friend

Is a will-fulfilled breath. ```

12.

```

My Lord Supreme shows me

His Compassion-Power

To make me happy.

My Lord Supreme gives me

His Hope-Power

To make me perfect. ```

13.

```

I see today

My self-giving gratitude-heart

Standing at the top of God's

Compassion-Distribution-List. ```

14.

```

I need only one friend,

And my Lord Supreme

Has already given me

That particular friend:

His Compassion-Eye.

```

15.

```

Alas,

Why do I not cheerfully,

Gratefully and sleeplessly

Allow God's Compassion-Light

To enter into my heart-room

Faster than the fastest

To turn me into

His peace-blossoming tree? ```

16.

```

When I sleeplessly

Offer myself to God,

He tells me

I have now become

A true member of

His intimate and inner Circle. ```

17.

```

Mine is the sound-life

That God uses to produce

His Victory here on earth.

Mine is the silence-heart

That God uses to transcend

His own Infinity's

Self-Transcendence-Dreams.

```

18.

```

My searching mind

Is sincerely looking

For the heart-garden

Of the God-seekers.

My aspiring heart

Is selflessly looking

For the full manifestation

Of the sleepless God-dreamers. ```

19.

```

My earth-responsibilities

Are my Heaven-sent

Opportunities

To bring to the fore

My divinity's prosperity

And offer it

To the heart of humanity

For the manifestation

Of God's Peace,

God's Bliss

And God's Satisfaction

On earth. ```

20.

```

Not easy to find,

A purity-heart-temple.

But impurity-mind-debris

Is easily everywhere found. ```

21.

```

God asks my clever mind

To shut up immediately.

God asks my torpor-heart

To wake up smilingly. ```

22.

```

God and I every day

Play various games.

I play to win.

I play to prove

That I am a better player.

God plays to improve

His Game.

God plays to transcend

His Capacities.

```

23.

```

Of all the Limbs of God,

I choose

God's Protection-Feet.

```

24.

```

For him, either to love

The farthest soul

Or to love

The nearest man

Is an extremely difficult task.

```

25.

```

From now on

I shall discount the things

That my soul does not need.

I want to make my soul happy

In my soul's way.

```

26.

```

I came into the world

To enjoy the infinite Love

Of my Lord Supreme

And not to be employed

By the pleasures

Of ignorance-night. ```

27.

```

Alas,

The narrowness of the mind,

The loneliness of the vital

And the idleness of the body

Have made me what I am now.

```

28.

```

My heart's actions

And not my life's positions

Can and do please

My Lord Supreme. ```

29.

```

My seeker-friend,

You can count

How many times

You have fallen.

I shall count only

How many times

You have bravely

And cheerfully arisen. ```

30.

```

My seeker-friend, I love you,

Not because

You think well of me,

Not because

You always do good things,

But because

You are pleasing

Our Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

31.

```

Most convincing,

Most satisfactory progress

We make in the spiritual life

Only after we have stopped

The mind's

Whirlwind-thought-speed. ```

32.

```

The heart's faith

Chases the mind-car

And also silences

The mind's doubt-storms. ```

33.

```

How can God

Have any confidence

In your spiritual life

If you do not want

To come out of

Your mind's desire-forest? ```

34.

```

There cannot be a single mind

That has not suffered from

Ignorance-bound thoughts.

```

35.

```

The mind loves

To stay indefinitely

In the ignorance-ego-hotel.

```

36.

```

After a long time,

Today I am so happy

To watch inspiration-flames

Lighting my mind. ```

37.

```

Every morning

I am awakened by my Lord's

Delight-Compassion-Whisper.

```

38.

```

My soul has already told

My aspiration-heart

That there is no U-turn

On its realisation-road. ```

39.

```

God loves me,

God loves my crying heart,

God loves my smiling soul.

```

40.

```

A life of surrender

Strikingly lengthens

The heart's aspiration-strides.

```

41.

```

My devotion

Purifies my heart.

My surrender

Satisfies my Lord. ```

42.

```

My heart's sincerity-flames

God transforms

Into His Divinity-Sun.

```

43.

```

A mind of peace

Expands and expands

And becomes a citizen

Of oneness-aspiration-land. ```

44.

```

Show, show

Your surrender-life.

God will stop

Your desire-train. ```

45.

```

An impurity-mind

Is a heart-sinking

Experience.
