Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 23

22001

```

O world,

I beg of you,

See not me

But my Lord Beloved Supreme

In me.

```

22002

```

Every day

My Lord slips an encouraging message

Under my heart-door.

```

22003

```

To become spiritually tall, taller, tallest,

We must be always

On our knees.

```

22004

```

I have a very special prayer:

I wish to fly on a non-stop

Aspiration-rocket.

```

22005

```

A true God-lover

Is he who cannot breathe

Without self-giving.

```

22006

```

God helps us personally

When we want to build

A monument of love.

```

22007

```

To hope is to bring down

A special gift

From Heaven.

```

22008

```

To change one’s life

Is to increase

The world-transformation-hopes.

```

22009

```

The more we forgive,

The stronger we become. ```

22010

```

Do not be discouraged.

Give yourself a second chance.

You will succeed.

```

22011

```

Reality-joys

Come from

The blossoming of dreams.

```

22012

```

Self-giving

Should be

A full-time job.

```

22013

```

Do not entangle others

With your problems. ```

22014

```

Hope

Is sweetness.

Promise

Is fulness. ```

22015

```

To belittle others

Is to make oneself little. ```

22016

```

Love

Hopes for

Expectation-fulfilment.

```

22017

```

Faith

Sings the song

Of self-transcendence.

```

22018

```

The power of imagination

Is unimaginable. ```

22019

```

No patience-light,

No success-delight. ```

22020

```

Aspiration means

God’s Grace

Guaranteed.

```

22021

```

Happiness

Is the beginning

Of self-confidence.

```

22022

```

Actions never lie,

But words do. ```

22023

```

Peace

Is self-offering

In action.

```

22024

```

The difference between

The heart and the mind

Is this:

The heart answers questions;

The mind questions answers.

```

22025

```

The beauty

Of self-giving

Has to be universal.

```

22026

```

You will delay God

Indefinitely

If you do not forgive yourself.

```

22027

```

Unlike in the outer world,

The divine qualities

Definitely outnumber

The undivine qualities

In the inner world.

```

22028

```

Eagerness shows us that

Everything is achievable. ```

22029

```

You become perfect

When you make the other person

Feel important.

```

22030

```

Beautiful

Are the heart-tears. ```

22031

```

Powerful

Are the soul-smiles. ```

22032

```

Fruitful

Are the life-sacrifices. ```

22033

```

No divine thought

Can forever remain

Imprisoned.

```

22034

```

Happiness and courage

Feed each other. ```

22035

```

We live in our mind-house,

But God wants us to live

In our heart-home.

```

22036

```

Just be yourself.

Lo, God is running

Towards you.

```

22037

```

A purity-mind

Is, indeed,

An extraordinary achievement.

```

22038

```

My Lord,

I have taught myself

How to pray.

Will You not teach me

How to meditate?

```

22039

```

Giving is not

An obligation.

Giving is

Self-expansion. ```

22040

```

The mind knows

What its limitations are.

Still, it denies them.

```

22041

```

Unconditional surrender

Means complete

God-oneness-achievement.

```

22042

```

A sincere seeker

Can easily radiate

God’s Radiance

All-where. ```

22043

```

A God-eagerness-heart

Never rests. ```

22044

```

The mind can either speculate

Or calculate —

Nothing more.

```

22045

```

The heart sees

The Light

And becomes

The Delight. ```

22046

```

A roaring enthusiasm

Is of paramount importance

To expedite

Our God-ordained mission

On earth.

```

22047

```

May my life-boat ply between

My aspiration-eagerness-shore

And

My dedication-eagerness-shore. ```

22048

```

Devotion-tears

And the heart-sweetness

Together live.

```

22049

```

The mind’s funeral procession

Is, alas, endless. ```

22050

```

My heart’s tears

Are eternally tied to

My soul’s smiles.

```

22051

```

A life of surrender

Runs very fast

On the perfection-road.

```

22052

```

Whenever my heart does anything,

It waits for

God’s final Touch.

```

22053

```

When I surrender to God’s Will,

I immediately become

A happiness-heart-sunshine.

```

22054

```

My morning prayers

Save my days. ```

22055

```

My evening prayers

Illumine my nights. ```

22056

```

Self-doubt

Is

The worst possible enemy.

```

22057

```

Obedience

Is

Our guiding pole-star.

```

22058

```

To me,

Depression is nothing short of

Exasperation.

```

22059

```

Our prayer-heart

Is cradled

By God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

22060

```

No life should remain

An unexplored reality. ```

22061

```

My life’s only shore

Is

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Smile.

```

22062

```

The vital smuggles.

The mind struggles.

The heart excels.

```

22063

```

Quite soon

Expectation-flowers

Fade.

```

22064

```

The human life

Is nothing but

A chronic desire-disease.

```

22065

```

O God-seeker,

God will grant you

An appointment

If you give up

Your disappointment.

```

22066

```

God tells us to pray

Not only in advance

But also

Today, tomorrow

And every day.

```

22067

```

Death can at most

Find us,

But Eternity

Cradles us. ```

22068

```

There can be no

God-realisation

For the spirituality-idlers.

```

22069

```

He who worships God soulfully

Eventually becomes Godlike

In everything.

```

22070

```

God loves us

Even if we do not care for

His Love.

```

22071

```

Forgive your enemies:

Lo and behold,

They have become

Your slaves. ```

22072

```

Feed your faith constantly.

Doubt will disappear

Instantly.

```

22073

```

God does not want from me

E-mail.

He wants me to send Him only

Knee-mail. ```

22074

```

When the dear ones depart,

Our hearts are broken.

This is, indeed, everyone’s

Everyday experience. ```

22075

```

God tells me

That He has heard enough

Of my advice.

What He needs now from me:

Prayer.

```

22076

```

It is not what you know

But how you know

That counts.

```

22077

```

At the end of the mind-tunnel,

There is always a sunrise. ```

22078

```

God wants me to do

Only my very best.

The rest He is more than willing to do

For me. ```

22079

```

We must aspire sleeplessly

Before our body

Expires.

```

22080

```

What my life needs

Is a model

And not a critic.

```

22081

```

Since God’s Compassion-Eye

Is everywhere,

We can pray and meditate

Anywhere. ```

22082

```

In spite of our countless misdeeds,

We are saved.

Why?

Precisely because God has

A big eraser.

```

22083

```

If you starve your faith,

Before long

Your own divinity-soul

Will relinquish you. ```

22084

```

Our real failure takes place

When we give up making

Further attempts.

```

22085

```

No human being

Can forever remain

A downright failure.

```

22086

```

If we do not cultivate unconditional love

Inside our heart,

Our mind will become

Infinitely worse than

What it is now.

```

22087

```

God’s Way

Is always flooded with

Good humour.

```

22088

```

The human in me

Wants the way out.

The divine in me

Wants the way up. ```

22089

```

First things first:

My ego-mind must surrender to

My God-ordained heart.

```

22090

```

Every day

God wants me to try

Something new,

For He Himself wants

To bury my past.

```

22091

```

I cherish my heart’s

Oneness with my soul,

Even if it lasts

Only for a fleeting moment. ```

22092

```

If you can sincerely appreciate yourself,

Then God will, before long,

Liberate you.

```

22093

```

If you want to play

With God’s Eye and God’s Heart,

Then delay not, delay not!

```

22094

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is for me all the time.

Therefore, there is nothing

To alarm me. ```

22095

```

God lowers Himself

To raise humanity. ```

22096

```

Heart-tears

Are the harbingers

Of happiness-harvest.

```

22097

```

God blesses us

With wisdom-light

For the asking.

```

22098

```

Our heart-tears

Are the staircases

To Heaven.

```

22099

```

One serious look

From God

Can transform our life

Altogether. ```

22100

```

Our usefulness

Depends on

Our faithfulness.

```

22101

```

It will not be long

Before the mind-jungle

Shall be transformed

Into the heart-garden. ```

22102

```

We are all apt to remind God

Of His Promises,

But we are so fortunate

That God does not do

The same thing to us.

```

22103

```

To have full reliance on God

Is to be in

The Heart-Home of God

All the time. ```

22104

```

It is only the heart-meditation

That connects

All the nations.

```

22105

```

God listens

To my gratitude-heart-songs

With tremendous joy.

```

22106

```

I cannot remember

If I have ever promised God

Anything.

```

22107

```

God cannot remember

If He has ever given me

Anything.

```

22108

```

All serious daring

Begins in the depths

Of the heart.

```

22109

```

Each positive thought

Embodies fruitfulness. ```

22110

```

May God-Love-Lightning

Every day

Strike my heart.

```

22111

```

In my deep meditation,

I see God come to me

With the sunlit shower

Of His Love. ```

22112

```

God has a very special fondness

For a silence-peace-life. ```

22113

```

Each deep meditation

Adds to the beauty

Of a goodness-heart-garden.

```

22114

```

Every day

I start my life

With rainbow-oneness-smiles.

```

22115

```

Meditation has the rare capacity

To carry our hearts

To the summit-heights.

```

22116

```

No opportunity comes to us

Again and again.

Therefore

When we have an opportunity,

Immediately we must act on it.

```

22117

```

Nothing significant can we accomplish

If we are found

In our mind’s thought-cycles.

```

22118

```

My heart always lives

In singing and dancing

Hopes.

```

22119

```

Compassion and concern

Have the power

To change everything.

```

22120

```

Unconditional surrender

Means

A life of God-ecstasy.

```

22121

```

Our implicit faith

And God’s blessingful Promise

Live together.

```

22122

```

My disaster-life

Is the pioneer

Of my new awakening.

```

22123

```

I have been receiving

God’s Smile

For a long time.

Now I need something more:

God’s Forgiveness.

```

22124

```

Where is God?

Definitely not in

A complexity-mind.

```

22125

```

Where is God?

Unmistakably inside

A simplicity-heart.

```

22126

```

When we love and serve

The poor,

God immediately opens His Heart-Door

To us. ```

22127

```

For a seeker,

There can be no other way —

Only the Way of God.

```

22128

```

Morning

Is

The beauty of light.

```

22129

```

Evening

Is

The fragrance of peace.

```

22130

```

When to smash

Our ignorance-ties?

Here and now.

```

22131

```

I please God’s Eye

With my

Happiness-smiles.

```

22132

```

I please God’s Heart

With my

Unhappiness-surrender-tears.

```

22133

```

Expectation is

The very beginning

Of a devastating frustration.

```

22134

```

If you are not

On God’s waiting line,

How will you ever see God?

```

22135

```

My flaming heart

Speedily reaches

God’s Palace.

```

22136

```

A life of purity

Has a very rare fragrance. ```

22137

```

Be not frustrated.

Once more fall in love

With your life.

```

22138

```

The full blossoming of Divinity

Depends on

Self-deepening humility.

```

22139

```

My Lord,

Do comfort my uneasy mind

And broken heart.

```

22140

```

My Lord,

Do bless my tortured mind

And enraptured heart

At the same time. ```

22141

```

Our victory-banner flies

Only when

Our ego-life dies.

```

22142

```

The heart abides

By God’s unknown

And unseen Laws.

```

22143

```

The mind abides

By its own laws. ```

22144

```

Our heart-prayers

Do bring in

Our salvation.

```

22145

```

When my devotion-heart

Ascends,

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Eye

Descends. ```

22146

```

God’s Pride

Knows no bounds

When His powerful punishment

We cheerfully accept. ```

22147

```

True, my mind is for

My mind’s sake,

But my heart is always for

God’s sake. ```

22148

```

In my outer life,

I smile and strive. ```

22149

```

In my inner life,

I cry and win. ```

22150

```

God has confidence in me

Only when I have faith

In myself.

```

22151

```

My life’s

Sound-questions

God never answers.

```

22152

```

My heart’s

Silence-questions

God promptly answers.

```

22153

```

When does God speak to me?

Only when I serve Him unreservedly

In mankind.

```

22154

```

The life of a sleeplessly

Self-giving seeker

Is anchored on the rock

Of Immortality. ```

22155

```

I teach my lips

Only one song

Every day.

```

22156

```

God teaches my heart

One hundred songs

Every day.

```

22157

```

God tells me

To treasure my life

Exactly the way

He treasures my heart. ```

22158

```

God’s Compassion is always free.

I want my dedication-life

Also to be free.

```

22159

```

I have always been

Anxiety-worry-centred.

From now on I shall only be

God-centred. ```

22160

```

The mind’s charts

Are all full of mistakes. ```

22161

```

The heart’s charts

Are always perfect.

Therefore, follow them.

```

22162

```

For a God-loving heart,

There is no

Unfamiliar territory.

```

22163

```

God wants my days

To be filled

With my heart-tears.

```

22164

```

God wants my nights

To be filled

With my soul-smiles.

```

22165

```

The mind-explorer

Does not see the Goal

Anywhere.

```

22166

```

The heart-explorer

Discovers God

Here, there and everywhere,

Plus sooner than the soonest. ```

22167

```

God is not pleased with her.

Why?

Because she keeps

God’s sacred Messages

Only to herself.

```

22168

```

Do not look at a seeker’s eyes,

Do not look at a seeker’s face,

But look at his heart.

```

22169

```

To trust everybody’s heart

Is to become

A special child of God.

```

22170

```

I face my blunders

To put them

Far behind me.

```

22171

```

My life has

Only one room,

But my heart has

Room for all. ```

22172

```

Purity is the soil

Where joy thrives. ```

22173

```

Alas, God asks me

Why I am not

What I once was.

```

22174

```

God takes away our failures

And places them inside

His Heart.

In return, He gives our heart

His Wisdom-Light.

```

22175

```

I do not invite God

To work wonders

Inside my life.

```

22176

```

I invite God

To do with my life

Whatever He wants to do.

```

22177

```

If we can meet every circumstance

With faith,

Then there can be no failure.

```

22178

```

Each sad moment of my life

I turn into

A God-Blessing-delight.

```

22179

```

God Himself will be

Your protection-shield

If you cultivate a faith-field-life.

```

22180

```

I love God sleeplessly.

Therefore God gives me time

For everything.

```

22181

```

A good student of life

Has only one aim:

God-Satisfaction.

```

22182

```

We are all mistaken.

God’s lessons

Are always easier than the easiest.

```

22183

```

A highly advanced soul

Knows how to turn

All his activities

Into prayers. ```

22184

```

God says,

“Go.”

My mind says,

“No, no, no!” ```

22185

```

God says,

“Come.”

My heart says,

“Yes, yes, yes!” ```

22186

```

God feeds us Himself

When we meet

With others’ needs.

```

22187

```

God blesses

A cheerful heart

With His God-Feast.

```

22188

```

Every day God invites

The sincere God-seekers

To walk

In His Footsteps. ```

22189

```

Surrender is the God-joy

That sings and sings

God-songs within.

```

22190

```

Divine Blessings never come down

With fanfare.

They come down

In secrecy supreme. ```

22191

```

The hope-flowers

Of unaspiring people

Quickly wither.

```

22192

```

The Master

Is the speaking voice

Of the silent God.

```

22193

```

May God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Be embossed

On my God-serving life. ```

22194

```

To feed your faith constantly

Is to starve your doubt

To death.

```

22195

```

We are embarrassed to offer

Our burdens to God.

But God says, “My children,

Give Me your burdens.

Anything that comes from you

I enjoy.” ```

22196

```

When I look at God,

He tells me,

“My child,

If you do not want

To think of Me all the time,

No harm.

Just thank Me seven times a day.”

```

22197

```

God repeatedly tells us

That what we prayerfully worship

We soulfully become.

```

22198

```

The divine power

Illuminates. ```

22199

```

The human power

Dominates. ```

22200

```

The animal power

Contaminates. ```

22201

```

God wants me to measure

My life

By my concern

For mankind. ```

22202

```

There was a time

When I used to adore

God’s Power-Hand.

But now I only adore

God’s Love-Heart.

```

22203

```

The human in us

Does not know

Where we stand.

```

22204

```

The divine in us knows

Not only where we stand,

But also where we are going

And where we shall arrive. ```

22205

```

When I tell God

That I need His correction,

He immediately tells me,

“My child,

What you need is My direction

And not My correction.” ```

22206

```

Inactivity knows

No reality’s divinity. ```

22207

```

If we have sincerity

In our hearts,

Then we shall definitely be

On a God-directed path. ```

22208

```

An enthusiasm-mind

And a patience-heart

Know no failure.

```

22209

```

Today is the bridge

Between my heart’s past cries

And my life’s future smiles.

```

22210

```

The essence of service

Is

Life-concern.

```

22211

```

My soul is the pole-star

Round which my aspiration-life

Revolves.

```

22212

```

Only when we are pure in heart

Does God become the beacon

In our ignorance-night.

```

22213

```

There is no such thing

As a convenient time.

Therefore we must not tarry.

We must throw ourselves into

God-manifestation-dedication-service.

```

22214

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I get joy only when I cast myself

At Your Feet

And bathe Your Feet

With my soul-tears.

```

22215

```

My Lord, You are telling me

That I have served You

For years and years

Most soulfully and most willingly.

Therefore You want to give me

Some rewards.

My Lord,

I need only one reward.

That reward is Your Presence-Light

Inside my mind-jungle-night. ```

22216

```

My Lord, I assure You

That You will not find me any more

Wallowing in the pleasures

Of ignorance.

You will find me

Only in my self-giving life to You

And to my sisters and brothers

Of the world. ```

22217

```

My Lord,

You are asking me to empty my mind

So that You can fill my life

With the abundance

Of Your Divinity’s Light and Delight.

```

22218

```

My Lord,

You are asking me to offer

The fleeting moments of my love

To You,

And You will flood me with Your Concern

And Fondness.

My Lord, I am all ready.

Let us keep our promises. ```

22219

```

My Lord,

It is not my mind’s imagination

But my heart’s conviction

That You loved me, You love me

And You will forever love me

With Your everlasting Love. ```

22220

```

My Lord,

My joy knows no bounds

That You are never out of my thoughts,

Even for a fleeting second. ```

22221

```

There is not a single day,

Not a single hour,

Not a single minute,

Not a single second

That my Lord does not think of me.

How is it that I cannot

Do the same?

```

22222

```

My Lord says,

“My child, lovingly I go

Wherever you go,

Even when you enter into the world

Of darkest night.”

```

22223

```

My Lord,

You want me to rise and rise

Only to hear from You

That You are all for me. ```

22224

```

My Lord,

Every day I fail You

Sadly and miserably.

Yet every day You bless me

With the abundance

Of Your Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart.

```

22225

```

In the morning

I live for God’s Peace.

In the evening

I live for God’s Silence. ```

22226

```

I love to follow You, my Lord,

But You tell me that

You do not want to see

Any distance in between us. ```

22227

```

Alas, I cannot do away

With my past,

Although my Lord Supreme tells me

To walk every day

In the newness of life.

```

22228

```

At this very moment,

Let my mind long for

My heart’s beauty

And my heart long for

My soul’s fragrance.

```

22229

```

My heart does not want me to fail.

My soul wants me to sail

Into the ever-transcending Beyond.

```

22230

```

In God’s Eye,

A seeker is a colossal failure

Who does not believe in

Self-discipline. ```

22231

```

Lethargy means

Self-destruction-inevitability. ```

22232

```

God does not want us to be under

His strict control.

He wants us to be under

His Compassion-Protection-Eye. ```

22233

```

The world of sound

Is man-made confusion.

The world of silence

Is God-made illumination. ```

22234

```

Complexity exists

Only to destroy

Our God-existence-reality-bliss.

```

22235

```

Two things I must know:

When my mind-night

Will be over;

When my heart-light

Will blossom everywhere.

```

22236

```

If you want to be truly happy,

Be not fearful

But be joyful

On the strength of your self-giving. ```

22237

```

God is extremely proud of

Those whose patience

Never runs out.

```

22238

```

A questioning mind

And a fearful vital

Can never live

With a cheerful, soulful

And fruitful heart.

```

22239

```

O my mind, do not look back

For Paradise.

O my heart, look ahead.

Behold, Paradise is beckoning you. ```

22240

```

The anxiety of the mind

Leads us

To the suffering of the heart.

```

22241

```

Sow soulfully

And

Reap bountifully.

```

22242

```

If our confidence

Is not founded on faith,

We can make no progress.

```

22243

```

O my vital,

You love to be in rebellion.

Then go your own way.

```

22244

```

O my heart,

You love to be in submission

To God’s Will.

God is proudly showing you His Way,

The only Way.

```

22245

```

God is not at all interested in knowing

What I tell the world.

God is extremely eager to know

What I do for the world. ```

22246

```

God is ready to bring me

His Fulness

If I silence my mind forever.

```

22247

```

Our trials come and go.

God’s Compassion,

Once it comes, never goes.

```

22248

```

God gives us everything

Out of His Heart of Love.

Can we not offer Him

An infinitesimal portion

Of gratitude?

```

22249

```

A questioning mind

Is, indeed,

A fatal disease.

```

22250

```

Death is

The next-door neighbour

Of mental agonies.

```

22251

```

My Lord,

You want me to give You

All my thoughts.

May I know why?

“My child,

I want to keep you

And your thoughts separate

To give you peace.” ```

22252

```

Who can escape the snares

Of flattery?

Perhaps nobody.

```

22253

```

When we run after

The outer beauty,

We mar the inner beauty.

```

22254

```

Quite often pride takes us high,

Very high,

Only to drop us dead.

```

22255

```

Quite often criticism forces us

Into the abysmal abyss

From where we can find

No escape. ```

22256

```

Be careful!

Do not allow the doubt-beast

To chase you.

Be fully armed with faith-armour. ```

22257

```

When our will

Is completely surrendered

To God’s Will,

We see the beauty

And enjoy the fragrance of our soul

Everywhere. ```

22258

```

Not unannounced but announced

The Hour of God

Approaches us.

```

22259

```

When I care for God’s Light,

He shares His Heart

With me.

```

22260

```

The tears

Of my heart

Brighten my eyes.

```

22261

```

The beauty of sincerity

Is rare

In the mind.

```

22262

```

The fragrance of purity

Is rarer

In the mind.

```

22263

```

The nectar-delight

Of the soul

Is never to be found

In the mind. ```

22264

```

Freedom

We can truly enjoy

Only when everyone

Has freedom. ```

22265

```

Impurity

Disturbs the balance

Of everything.

```

22266

```

Anything divine

That is shared

Is immediately doubled.

```

22267

```

Desire binds

Not only our mind

But everything that we have

In our possession. ```

22268

```

Critics

Have nothing

But ignorance-confidence-night.

```

22269

```

Silence

Is our life’s companion

Par excellence.

```

22270

```

Opportunity

Does not come to us

Without being invoked

By our aspiration-heart. ```

22271

```

Divinity shines bright

In the thick of

Darkness.

```

22272

```

If anything is divine in us,

It is bound to help us

Expedite our inner progress.

```

22273

```

Every day

Is a busy day

For a lazy person.

```

22274

```

We must know

Our own identity

Before we offer ourselves

To the world at large. ```

22275

```

If you expect friendship

To be blameless,

Then you will have no friend.

```

22276

```

An unsatisfied mind

Is prone to

Confusion.

```

22277

```

God may forgive

Our stupidity,

But He is not going to forgive

Our insincerity. ```

22278

```

Meditation

Is the complete awareness

Of vastness.

```

22279

```

Meditation

Is the perfect identification

With fulness.

```

22280

```

Alas,

Big words

Quite often do not carry satisfaction

Either in the inner world

Or in the outer world.

```

22281

```

To a real seeker,

Desires are luxuries,

Aspirations are necessities.

```

22282

```

No human being

Can ever escape

The power of ups and downs

In his life. ```

22283

```

Silence

Is the increase

Of inner depth.

```

22284

```

Silence

Is the increase

Of outer strength.

```

22285

```

Our enemies unconsciously

Strengthen our determination

To become perfect instruments

Of God. ```

22286

```

To make yourself happy,

Confess your blunders

Before you face any criticism.

```

22287

```

Since God

Has not appointed darkness

To conquer our heart and life,

Darkness will never succeed. ```

22288

```

Since God

Has appointed Light

To awaken us and to illumine us,

We are bound to be successful. ```

22289

```

Be careful of your pride.

Pride can easily

Throw you out

Into the world of nowhere. ```

22290

```

We must play a fair game

With our own illumining soul

And with our own aspiring heart.

```

22291

```

Words

Cannot give us

Illumination.

```

22292

```

Words

Can at most give us

Education.

```

22293

```

Silence

Gives us liberation, realisation

And God-manifestation-capacities.

```

22294

```

As long as the human mind

Is on the rise,

We will not be able

To escape war. ```

22295

```

When we love the whole world

With utmost sincerity,

We can have no enemies.

```

22296

```

Knowledge

Is acquired

In the outer world.

```

22297

```

Wisdom

Is sought

In the inner world.

```

22298

```

He who laughs and laughs

At his own blunders

Can make the fastest progress.

```

22299

```

Love the world

If you want to go forward speedily

In your aspiration-life.

```

22300

```

Each day

We can increase

Our inner beauty

By increasing

Our God-devotion.

```

22301

```

A prayerful voice

We appreciate. ```

22302

```

A soulful heart

We admire. ```

22303

```

A fruitful life

We adore. ```

22304

```

A self-giving breath

We love and become. ```

22305

```

It is never too late

To offer our heart-tears

And our soul-smiles

To God. ```

22306

```

How can we have

A healthy life

If we have

An unhealthy mind? ```

22307

```

World peace

Can be achieved

Only by sacrifices

And not by speeches. ```

22308

```

In the inner world,

Only with silence-profundity

Can our life fly.

```

22309

```

For protection,

More protection

And infinitely more protection,

Each human being

Must pray to God.

```

22310

```

To hate anyone

Is to hate

Your God-omnipresent oneness.

```

22311

```

Before opportunity

Knocks at our door,

We must present ourselves

At God’s Door. ```

22312

```

Opportunity favours

A ready mind

And an eager heart.

```

22313

```

The power of the mind

And the strength of the heart

Thrive in the soil

Of silence. ```

22314

```

An absurd statement:

War for peace. ```

22315

```

Speak out

And prove to the world

That you are

Only for God. ```

22316

```

My Lord,

If You do not speak to me,

I shall not suffer.

But if You do not speak

To my heart

Every day, every hour

And every moment,

Then I shall suffer unimaginably. ```

22317

```

My Lord,

If You do not listen to me,

I shall not suffer.

But if You do not listen

To my ceaseless heart-tears,

Then I shall suffer breathlessly. ```

22318

```

Only God-love, God-devotion

And God-surrender

Can give confidence and joy

To the helpless orphan-world. ```

22319

```

If I am a true disciple,

Then I must dauntlessly proclaim

My only deathless loyalty

To my Master. ```

22320

```

Not those who are old

In the mind,

But only those who are young

In the heart

Shall win the Godward race.

```

22321

```

God repeatedly tells us

That each and every human being

On earth

Is worthy of His Blessings

Precisely because

He is the sole Creator

Of His creation.

```

22322

```

To achieve an A-plus

In my spiritual life,

I must sleeplessly and breathlessly

Claim my Master

To be my All.

```

22323

```

If you are a constant self-giver,

Then you do not have to

Stand in the line

To see God. ```

22324

```

Alas, we seek

The mind-clouds

And not

The heart-sunshine. ```

22325

```

The divine in me

Sincerely wants

To understand.

```

22326

```

The human in me

Constantly wants

To be understood.

```

22327

```

God erases

Our life-blunders

When we unmistakably become

Streaming heart-tears. ```

22328

```

My prayers

Are the silver tears

Of my heart.

```

22329

```

My meditations

Are the golden smiles

Of my soul.

```

22330

```

If you think you are bold enough

To disown God,

Then rest assured

That God is wise enough

To claim you

To be His own, very own. ```

22331

```

The mind-compromise

Is founded upon

Unspeakable insincerity.

```

22332

```

The heart-promise

Is founded upon

Unimaginable sincerity.

```

22333

```

Temptation takes us away —

Far, very far —

From our God-oneness-recreation.

```

22334

```

May each heart

Place at God’s Feet

A billion tears.

```

22335

```

May each life

Offer a billion smiles

To God’s Eye.

```

22336

```

Each smile of my Master

Immediately carries me —

My life and my all —

To a higher goal. ```

22337

```

No mind can eclipse

Our heart-vision-sun,

For it is God-Infinity’s Breath.

```

22338

```

Today’s fallen souls

Can not only become

Tomorrow’s golden souls,

But also reach

Unimaginable goals.

```

22339

```

He who embraces pride

Is a disgrace

To his divinity-flooded soul.

```

22340

```

He who loves his heart-temple

Is a true worshipper

Of God.

```

22341

```

My God-obedience

Is my forward march

To a new horizon.

```

22342

```

A sincere seeker

Does not need any direction

To arrive at God’s Home.

```

22343

```

I came into the world

To spread my Lord’s Sunshine-Smile

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world. ```

22344

```

My ignorance-night never says,

“I am sorry.”

My wisdom-light ever says,

“My Lord is my All.” ```

22345

```

Every day

My Lord Supreme

Inspires me to sprint

To my God-realisation-destination. ```

22346

```

God and I

Have come to an understanding:

Every day His Compassion-Smiles

Shall feed my heart

And

Every day my devotion-tears

Shall feed His Heart.

```

22347

```

My Lord,

May I make a suggestion?

Can You be strict with the world,

Your creation?

“My child,

I gladly accept your suggestion,

And I am starting with you,

Here and now!” ```

22348

```

Today’s fiasco:

I invited my Beloved Supreme

To come to my heart-home.

He accepted my invitation

And He came.

Alas, what was I doing?

I was away,

Dining with my mind

Inside its cave.

```

22349

```

No more do I belong to

The turbulent waters of desire-life,

No more.

I am claimed today

By my Absolute Lord Supreme

To be His own, very own. ```

22350

```

Before I left Heaven,

I asked my Beloved Supreme

For a smile.

He granted my desire.

Before I leave earth,

I shall ask Mother Earth

To give me a smile.

I do hope she will bless me with a smile

Instead of heart-rending tears.

```

22351

```

My Lord wants to give me

A dual citizenship,

Here on earth and there in Heaven.

He just needs from me

A sleepless devotion for Him.

```

22352

```

No more depression-frustration-frowns,

No more!

I am now drinking deep

The Nectar-Delight

From the Heart

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

22353

```

Self-doubt

Is

Irreparable mind-damage.

```

22354

```

To live in the mind

Is to live in the fog

Of insincerity.

```

22355

```

Expectation-frustration

Is another name

For the desire-life.

```

22356

```

The Golden Flute

Is beckoning you.

Do not remain attached

To the past. ```

22357

```

Morning prayer

Offers us a bouquet

Of golden opportunities.

```

22358

```

My Lord,

Do liberate me

From taut bundles

Of insecurity. ```

22359

```

Unlike human doctors,

God cures the patients

With unseen medicine.

```

22360

```

I have thrown

My doubting mind

Into my soul-bonfire.

```

22361

```

Heart-prayers

Fly

In a cloudless sky.

```

22362

```

Sincerity

Always remains

Irreversible.

```

22363

```

God never asks us

To stop

Before we reach

The top. ```

22364

```

It is our fearful mind

That is responsible

For our unfortunate defeat.

```

22365

```

My Lord,

Will there be a time

When I will be

Your true disciple? ```

22366

```

It seems that the world’s

Prayer-life

Is unspeakably impoverished.

```

22367

```

My God-surrender

Is the end

Of all my pain.

```

22368

```

No more shall I allow

My mind

To chase my heart.

```

22369

```

Surrendering

Is becoming

And vice versa.

```

22370

```

What delights me most?

My constant self-offering

To God’s Will.

```

22371

```

Every day I pray to God

To give me the capacity

To dive into

His unhorizoned Heart. ```

22372

```

Every day

God teaches my heart

A new song of hope.

```

22373

```

Every day

God wants to come and see me

At the very foot

Of my life-patience-tree. ```

22374

```

Today’s dedication

Can destroy

Yesterday’s imperfections.

```

22375

```

Every day

My heart sings

A God-gratitude-song.

```

22376

```

Man is

An unending song

Of hope.

```

22377

```

The song

Of the morning eye

Is beautiful.

```

22378

```

The dance

Of the evening heart

Is peaceful.

```

22379

```

Only he

Who loves God sincerely

Can obey Him.

```

22380

```

Nobody

Is

Frustration-proof.

```

22381

```

Not intention

But action

Is what we need.

```

22382

```

True God-faith

Knows no delay. ```

22383

```

God-obedience

Defies

The strength of lethargy.

```

22384

```

Self-giving

Means

Heart-enlargement.

```

22385

```

Do not welcome

Evil gossip

Anytime, anywhere.

```

22386

```

Every day,

At least for fifteen minutes,

Focus on your own

Life-perfection. ```

22387

```

Every day

I take a dip

In my soul’s ecstasy-sea.

```

22388

```

Meditation means

Peace-invocation

And

Peace-preservation. ```

22389

```

The silence of the heart

Can easily steady

The mind’s ups and downs.

```

22390

```

Never allow your confidence

To be caught

By the chains of self-doubt.

```

22391

```

Each life has to be

A constantly self-giving tree. ```

22392

```

Devotion is at once

Mind-illumination

And

Heart-transformation. ```

22393

```

My God-devotion

Enables me to live

In a oneness-love-world.

```

22394

```

O my heart,

Illumine the world

With your smile

Before the mind attacks me

With all its bitterness.

```

22395

```

No limitations can be

Our unavoidable

Or unchangeable fate.

```

22396

```

My prayer-tears

Come from

My soul’s luminosity.

```

22397

```

Any good thought

Will have a beautiful

And fragrant future.

```

22398

```

The power of love

Never dominates.

It only illuminates.

```

22399

```

Unlike the heart-elevator,

The mind-elevator

Only goes down.

```

22400

```

Alas, we do not know

Why we enjoy driving through

The mind’s tunnel.

```

22401

```

Each man

Has his own philosophy

On how to better the world.

```

22402

```

In the inner world,

I live and look.

In the outer world,

I look and live. ```

22403

```

Service is needed

Only from those who live

In the world of humility.

```

22404

```

Do not pronounce any judgement

Beforehand —

Wait for the finals.

```

22405

```

To live on earth

Is to always

Grow, glow and flow.

```

22406

```

Our tears will smile

Only when we live

For God’s sake.

```

22407

```

Another name

For trust

Is happiness.

```

22408

```

God wants us to be

Active

And not remain

Captive. ```

22409

```

When we soulfully pray to God,

His Compassion multiplies

By the second.

```

22410

```

Every morning

God’s Compassion-Eye

Cradles my heart.

```

22411

```

Thought whispers.

Action thunders. ```

22412

```

O my bleeding heart,

Smile.

You will be able

To steal God’s Heart. ```

22413

```

How I wish I could

All the time

Live the life of anonymity.

```

22414

```

A pure heart

Can easily be

Dauntless.

```

22415

```

May my entire existence

Be found

In the armour of love.

```

22416

```

When we are self-giving,

God helps us fight

Against ignorance-night

Before it starts. ```

22417

```

To follow

The crowd

Is to miss

The destination. ```

22418

```

Quite often

Imagination carries

Wisdom-light.

```

22419

```

I strongly feel

That before long

My broken heart will be mended

By my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

22420

```

Heart-beauty-flower

Never withers. ```

22421

```

When I urgently need

God’s Advice,

God never delays.

```

22422

```

May my feeble prayers

Help mankind

In some small way.

```

22423

```

My aspiration-heart sings

Far above

My body-bondage.

```

22424

```

Impossibility is a wall

That can be shattered

Into pieces.

```

22425

```

When it comes to perfection,

Everybody is ignorant. ```

22426

```

God does not mind

When we ask Him questions,

But He does mind

When we do not use His Answers. ```

22427

```

When I do God’s work

Cheerfully,

God sings my victory-songs

Ceaselessly. ```

22428

```

God’s Compassion

Can erase

All my lifelong blunders.

```

22429

```

Help the world bountifully,

But not foolishly. ```

22430

```

My Lord,

How can I serve You?

“My child,

Love yourself first;

Then you will be able to serve Me.”

```

22431

```

The mind is

So cruel.

The heart is

A perfect jewel. ```

22432

```

God is attracted by

My climbing smiles. ```

22433

```

My sorrowful smile

Shatters

God’s Heart.

```

22434

```

My self-giving smile

Feeds God. ```

22435

```

Bend your knees

To kiss the feet of the good,

And not of the great.

```

22436

```

I collect the dust of goodness

And ignore

The palace of greatness.

```

22437

```

My heart-shrine is not private.

It is for all to see

And receive inspiration.

```

22438

```

Self-pity

Is nothing but

Uselessness.

```

22439

```

Every day

I see my life blossoming

In my devotion-heart-garden.

```

22440

```

Alas,

Why do I not allow my Lord

To rule my life

With His Compassion-descending Rain? ```

22441

```

Never surrender

To the mind’s

Narrow bondage-limits.

```

22442

```

The heart blossoms

The moment self-offering

Begins.

```

22443

```

I shall never allow my life

To be carried away

By my unaspiring mind.

```

22444

```

The mind suffers

Quite often

From progress-paralysis.

```

22445

```

Every seeker

Paints God

With his devotion-awareness.

```

22446

```

An aspiration-heart

Can challenge

All outer obstacles.

```

22447

```

He who aspires

Builds his life

On God-love-foundation.

```

22448

```

May my God-oneness-heart

Overrule my mind

Every time.

```

22449

```

Every morning

God wants me to wake up

And run and run with my heart

To the Golden Shore. ```

22450

```

God always wants me

To be on a team

And not to enjoy

My solo acts. ```

22451

```

When my Lord

Is angry with me,

His Eye whips

My entire being. ```

22452

```

Alas, we do nothing for God

Every day,

Yet we expect

God’s undivided attention. ```

22453

```

God wants us

Every day

To have the natural approach to Him:

A God-loving heart. ```

22454

```

Patience and speed

Determine

Our destination-home.

```

22455

```

God wants us

To run our fastest

To His ever-blossoming Heart.

```

22456

```

My obedience loves

Only one thing:

God’s Authority.

```

22457

```

If we are not aware of

God’s Presence inside our heart,

How can we make any progress?

```

22458

```

To see God’s Eye

Is

To worship God’s Feet.

```

22459

```

God wants me

At every moment

To be in breathless prayer.

```

22460

```

When I am a broken heart,

I see God’s Tears

Within my heart

And around my life. ```

22461

```

God always wants me

To walk along

His Heart-mapped Path.

```

22462

```

The insatiable, voracious vital

Is

The culprit number one.

```

22463

```

Frustration

Makes us sink into

An unfathomable sea.

```

22464

```

My tiniest progress-step

Makes my Lord

Unimaginably happy.

```

22465

```

Even the willingness of an ant

God adds

To our world-transformation.

```

22466

```

A God-chosen hero

Is God’s

Perfection-instrument.

```

22467

```

Every morning

God wants us to sweep devotedly

The path of the heart.

```

22468

```

The golden days of God-worship

Have Eternity

As their breath.

```

22469

```

We must never allow anything undivine

To sink

Our aspiration-heart-boat.

```

22470

```

I always challenge myself

To undertake

A new Godward expedition.

```

22471

```

Desire-thoughts

We must not only conquer

But destroy.

```

22472

```

God keeps

His Compassion-Store open

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

22473

```

Our happiness

Gladdens and charms God

More than anything else.

```

22474

```

Faith

Does not believe in

Impossibility.

```

22475

```

God expects us to use

Our eagerness-heart-speed

To arrive

At His Golden Gate. ```

22476

```

Every day

God feeds the whispers

Of our heart.

```

22477

```

The mind enjoys riding

Slowly

The desire-train.

```

22478

```

The heart enjoys flying

Most speedily

The aspiration-aeroplane.

```

22479

```

At every moment

Earth needs

Heaven’s Ecstasy-Breath.

```

22480

```

God does not mind

If I do not thank Him.

God does not mind

If I do not think of Him.

But God does mind

When I am not pleased

With myself.

```

22481

```

If we do not strive hard,

How can we ever wake up

From ignorance-sleep?

```

22482

```

God’s Footfalls

Are

My heartbeat-songs.

```

22483

```

When I inhale the fragrance

Of my obedience-heart-flower,

My life-boat sails

Faster than the fastest. ```

22484

```

There is a special way

To thank God,

And that way is

To keep myself always happy. ```

22485

```

May my heart-vessel

Be full to the brim

With God-gratitude.

```

22486

```

Each and every seeker

Must immigrate

To Infinity’s Peace-Land.

```

22487

```

God will tell us

His Life-Story

In His own Way

If we have patience infinite. ```

22488

```

The theories of the mind

Never interest God. ```

22489

```

The practice of the heart

God treasures. ```

22490

```

God’s Forgiveness-list

Has neither beginning

Nor end.

```

22491

```

God gives us

Repeated chances

To satisfy Him.

```

22492

```

I must surrender myself

To God’s Will

So that I can be at the beck and call

Of His sweet Will

Entirely.

```

22493

```

I came into the world

To fulfil my Lord’s Dreams

From dawn to dusk.

```

22494

```

He who disappoints God’s Will

Will eventually become

A veritable beggar

In the world of spirituality. ```

22495

```

Man has

Fearful questions.

God has

Blessingful Answers. ```

22496

```

A broken heart

Is not God’s failure

But God’s immediate concern.

```

22497

```

An ego-absence-life

Is

A God-Presence-smile.

```

22498

```

To lose faith in God

Is to suffer

An irrevocable loss.

```

22499

```

To pray

Is the birthright

Of my life.

```

22500

```

To meditate

Is the birthright

Of my heart.

```

22501

```

In the morning

I self-givingly accompany

My soul-sun.

```

22502

```

In the evening

I soulfully accompany

My heart-moon.

```

22503

```

O my mind,

Never try to be on

The Olympian pride-height.

Your failure will be

Most deplorable.

```

22504

```

God appreciates

Each and every heart-temple

And raises it

On His Shoulders. ```

22505

```

The devotion-tearless eyes

Will never be able to near

God’s Heart-Palace.

```

22506

```

Alas, the disobedience-mind

And the obedience-heart

Live side by side.

```

22507

```

I keep my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Nearer than

My own heartbeat.

```

22508

```

A single surrender-breath

Can conquer

God’s Heart of Infinity.

```

22509

```

Only the doubt-free minds

Can expedite

Humanity’s progress.

```

22510

```

No matter in which form

Disobedience comes to us,

We must immediately shun it.

```

22511

```

Each time my heart

Sheds tears of gratitude,

God blessingfully offers

His thunderous applause. ```

22512

```

Only a sweetness-fragrance-heart

Is allowed to hoist

God’s Heart-Banner.

```

22513

```

A oneness-heart

Is

The strongest criticism-destroyer.

```

22514

```

An indulgence-life

Needs only one thing:

A stark will-power.

```

22515

```

God asks

Only the world-peace-lovers

To strike as hard as possible

His own Peace-Bell. ```

22516

```

On the tongue of my life

Is always

God-surrender-joy.

```

22517

```

My devotion-heart loves to live

Only at one place:

God’s Feet.

```

22518

```

I do not live

In the world of an

Uncertain ‘maybe’.

```

22519

```

I live only

In the world of a

Determined ‘must’.

```

22520

```

Each desire-thought

Chokes our spiritual

Life-breath.

```

22521

```

There was a time

When I blindly obeyed

My mind’s orders.

```

22522

```

God’s Compassion-Call

Arouses my mind,

Awakens my heart

And

Liberates my life.

```

22523

```

God wants us to write to Him

Every day

In letters of heart-tears.

```

22524

```

A faith-heart

Means

An invalid mind.

```

22525

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Every day blesses me

With an iron

God-manifestation-will. ```

22526

```

Alas, every day

My mind erases the Footprints

Of my Beloved Supreme.

```

22527

```

Our mind-hesitation

Is the cause of our

God-fulfilment-promise-failure.

```

22528

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Never wants any human being

To depart.

```

22529

```

Each God-thought increases

The brightness of the road

That leads to God’s Palace.

```

22530

```

Alas, our willingness-heart

Quite often loses

To our lethargy-body.

```

22531

```

God’s two Arms

Are eagerly waiting

For our earliest return

To His Heart-Home. ```

22532

```

My desire knows

How to shout. ```

22533

```

My aspiration knows

How to whisper. ```

22534

```

Our God-gratitude-heart only

Knows how to wrap

Our God-sweetness-memories.

```

22535

```

Keep loving

The Eternity’s great Unknown

To be completely satisfied.

```

22536

```

God feels miserable

When He sees

Our disappointment-life-tears.

```

22537

```

Each and every seeker

Must continue to work on

God’s full manifestation on earth.

```

22538

```

I pray to God to give me

Only one thing:

A flaming eagerness-heart.

```

22539

```

Only a self-giving man

Can enjoy devouring

God’s infinite Light and Delight.

```

22540

```

Patience-flowers

Live longer

Than any other flowers.

```

22541

```

Every mind-election

Is empty

Of perfection.

```

22542

```

My heart-melodies

My Lord transforms

Into His own Symphonies.

```

22543

```

Expectation

Tortures us. ```

22544

```

Hope

Gladdens us. ```

22545

```

A oneness-heart

Is the pride

Of Infinity.

```

22546

```

A heart without faith

Is a life

Without safety.

```

22547

```

If we do not have faith in God,

Then an express train of fear

Will near us and destroy us.

```

22548

```

My soulful smile energises

My own heart

To fulfil God’s Dream.

```

22549

```

Disbelief

Is the most powerful weapon

To destroy

A goodness-life and oneness-heart. ```

22550

```

Only God’s Compassion-flooded Eye

Can ever mend

My broken heart.

```

22551

```

God is always eager

To bind us

With His two claiming Hands.

```

22552

```

Without a purity-sunrise-heart,

We cannot make real progress

In our spiritual life.

```

22553

```

Each time we make

Even an iota of progress,

We brighten God’s Face.

```

22554

```

A devotion-heart knows

Where God is

And also how to bind Him.

```

22555

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And Affection-Breath

Know no sleep.

```

22556

```

You do not have to seek God

In the farthest end of the world.

His Presence is nearer than the nearest.

Just develop a devotion-heart. ```

22557

```

A day without aspiration

Is

A failure-day.

```

22558

```

Heaven offers me

Its brightest smile

When I sing

God-surrender-songs. ```

22559

```

When we love God

For God’s sake,

Immortality embraces

Our lives. ```

22560

```

God-obedience-road

Is fed by

God’s constant Smile.

```

22561

```

We must break down

The iron resistance-gate

Of the desiring mind.

```

22562

```

The mind-wanderer

Enjoys wandering

Instead of loving

The beauty of peace. ```

22563

```

The desire-mind

Will never be invited

By the flaming heart.

```

22564

```

The desire-life

Is an empty shore

And an empty echo.

```

22565

```

Lethargy-sleep

Is the uselessness

Of nothingness.

```

22566

```

A life of surrender

Is inseparable from

A life of faith.

```

22567

```

Our Lord opens our heart-eye

To the ever-blossoming

Inner world.

```

22568

```

Our progress-life

Is sumptuously fed

By our inner cries.

```

22569

```

We can have throbbing

Heart-joys

From our fully God-surrendered

Life. ```

22570

```

If we are not consciously

And sleeplessly aware

Of our divine life,

Our Goal will slip

In and out of sight.

```

22571

```

My meditation-heart

Is frequented by

Silence and peace.

```

22572

```

A heart of constant

God-surrender

Is timeless and deathless.

```

22573

```

If we want to see God,

There is only one way:

The sunlit path of faith.

```

22574

```

In the garden of the heart

We are apt to hear

God’s Whisper.

```

22575

```

A heart of devotion

Can fly

In ecstasy-skies.

```

22576

```

God loves to watch

Our sailing

Peace-dream-boat.

```

22577

```

Desire-memories

Are not only unhealthy

But also dangerous.

```

22578

```

We must not forget

That God the Heart

And God the Eye

Always watch over

Our aspiration-heart.

```

22579

```

The Power of God

Tells us:

“Go forward!”

```

22580

```

The Love of God

Tells us:

“Come in!”

```

22581

```

The Light of God

Tells us:

“Stay where you are,

For that is the right place.” ```

22582

```

Yesterday

God was my Source. ```

22583

```

Today

God is my Destination. ```

22584

```

Strive to be a perfect

God-slave

And not a self-styled

Master. ```

22585

```

A true disciple

Has to be eager

Both to learn

And unlearn. ```

22586

```

My prayers

Prepare my life

To receive.

```

22587

```

My meditation

Prepares my heart

To give.

```

22588

```

Wherever I stand,

God tells me that

It is His Holy Land.

```

22589

```

I thank God

For each

Aspiration-day.

```

22590

```

God thanks me

For each

Dedication-day.

```

22591

```

Erase

Life’s blunders

With determination.

```

22592

```

Embrace

Life’s victories

With tremendous enthusiasm.

```

22593

```

Everything in my life

Originated in God,

Specially my God-gratitude-heart.

```

22594

```

Problems appear

When we are

Unmindful.

```

22595

```

Problems disappear

When we are

Godful.

```

22596

```

I love God

Because He is

Indispensable.

```

22597

```

God loves me

Because I am

Reliable.

```

22598

```

The journey without

Begins with

Thunder-power.

```

22599

```

The journey within

Begins with

Flute-sweetness.

```

22600

```

Our life-boat

Can never capsize

If we value

Our heart’s sunrise. ```

22601

```

A man of unconditional surrender

Is

God’s favourite guest.

```

22602

```

Long before the inner sun rises,

We must prepare ourselves

With implicit faith in God.

```

22603

```

The very touch

Of God’s Feet

Thrills my heart.

```

22604

```

A gratitude-heart

Is

God’s real pride.

```

22605

```

A God-loving heart

Must not repeat

God-displeasing deeds.

```

22606

```

My ego-life

I must obliterate

As quickly as possible.

```

22607

```

No opportunity

Can ever be

Insignificant.

```

22608

```

An unconditional life

Is not the invention

Of imagination.

```

22609

```

The constant fulfilment

Of God’s Will only

Interests my heart.

```

22610

```

Every day

I am appalled

At the lack of aspiration

Of my mind. ```

22611

```

Alas,

Problems drag on and on.

There is no way

To escape. ```

22612

```

Self-transcendence

Is quite common

In God-surrender-land.

```

22613

```

The mind

Always vetoes the opinions

Of the heart.

```

22614

```

Flexibility

Is of paramount importance

In our spiritual life.

```

22615

```

To have a glance

From God’s Eye

Is, indeed,

A rare moment of happiness. ```

22616

```

At every moment

We must exercise our divine will

To crack down on

Cynics and critics. ```

22617

```

Alas,

Every day

We forget to destroy

Our mind’s desire-jungles. ```

22618

```

Our wisdom-light

Has a very deep connection

With God’s Eye.

```

22619

```

We must never allow

Our enthusiasm-energy

To dwindle.

```

22620

```

O my life,

Never be near

The emotional whirlpool.

```

22621

```

The true spiritual life

Must never be kept

On hold.

```

22622

```

The mind loves

Complication,

While the heart loves

Unification. ```

22623

```

I know that

There shall come a time

When God’s Compassion-Eye

Shall melt

My age-long stone-heartedness.

```

22624

```

The human life

Is an uncontrollable surge

Of expectation.

```

22625

```

When we make a complaint to God

Against our mind,

Our complaint is definitely valid.

```

22626

```

Be careful of the mind,

For its supplies

Are full of thought-disease.

```

22627

```

My Lord,

When I lose my faith in You,

Please illumine me

With a crashing blow. ```

22628

```

A self-giving life

Has to be lionised

Everywhere.

```

22629

```

My soul asks my heart

Never to miss

God’s Illumination-Courses.

```

22630

```

Alas, what shall I do

With my spiritual life?

It is frustratingly slow.

```

22631

```

My Lord tells me

That my gratitude-heart-tears

Are by far the best tears.

```

22632

```

We must throw

All our self-interest

Into the dust

To run the fastest

In the spiritual life.

```

22633

```

God wants my heart

To take

Love, devotion and surrender-

Violin lessons. ```

22634

```

May my heart’s

Aspiration-sun

Never set.

```

22635

```

Each heart

Is

A God-delight-song.

```

22636

```

The outer beauty

Dies.

The inner beauty

Prevails. ```

22637

```

O seeker,

Do not allow

Even an iota of desire

To enter into your mind. ```

22638

```

Desires

Always love

To come in large crowds.

```

22639

```

God loves

To sing, play and dance

In our Heavenly dreams.

```

22640

```

God does not want us to race

To see His Face.

He wants us to run

Slowly, steadily and self-givingly

Towards Him.

```

22641

```

I love littleness.

Indeed,

This is a true mystery

To God. ```

22642

```

God loves Infinity.

Indeed,

This is a total mystery

To me. ```

22643

```

If you live all the time

In the mind,

You are bound to bathe

In frustration-tears. ```

22644

```

O my heart,

Never listen to my mind!

It always cancels

God-appointments. ```

22645

```

A seeker’s devotion-heart

Can easily catch

God’s Heart.

```

22646

```

An intense God-search

Is of paramount importance

To arrive at

God’s Heart-Door. ```

22647

```

O my mind,

Untie your attachment-knots. ```

22648

```

God wants

My love for Him

To be sacred

And not secret. ```

22649

```

My Lord,

Do help me to live

In my devotion-delight-heart.

```

22650

```

Humanity’s

Aspiration-heart-lamp,

Alas,

Still remains unlit. ```

22651

```

When I surrender my all

To God,

He tells me

That I shall be

His proudest pride.

```

22652

```

My Lord’s Blessing-Touch

Shall forever grow and glow

Inside my heart.

```

22653

```

My Lord,

Your Compassion-Eye

Is dear to my inspiration-life,

Dearer to my aspiration-heart

And

Dearest to my illumination-soul. ```

22654

```

The partition-loving mind

Is always

Rebellious.

```

22655

```

We must deport

All our doubts

To the land of nowhere.

```

22656

```

Loneliness-isolation

Can never give us

Any real satisfaction.

```

22657

```

May my entire life

Become a dauntless

God-faith-shield.

```

22658

```

Frustration-night

Can easily be conquered

With detachment-light.

```

22659

```

God can do

Sublime things for us

With our willingness-heart.

```

22660

```

God always asks us

To feel free to ask Him

All the questions that we have.

He will answer all our questions,

Whether it satisfies us or not.

```

22661

```

God’s Compassion-Feet

Every day clasp

My surrender-heart.

```

22662

```

God’s Concern

Is something

That nobody can ever lose.

```

22663

```

How beautiful,

How peaceful,

How fruitful

Is everything about God. ```

22664

```

He who is afraid of loving God

More and more

Is, indeed, a stark fool.

```

22665

```

Our ignorance-surrender

Is the best gift

We can offer God.

```

22666

```

A God-loving heart

Can easily and freely

Blend with all.

```

22667

```

The mind

Wants to tell and hear

Again and again

Its useless stories. ```

22668

```

Readiness and willingness

Are twin brothers

For quickest God-manifestation

On earth. ```

22669

```

God Himself

Amplifies

All my heart-cries.

```

22670

```

Enthusiasm

Can proudly carry our hearts

To new heights of delight.

```

22671

```

May God’s Mind

And my mind

Constantly enjoy

Our mutual trust. ```

22672

```

May God’s Heart

And my heart

Sleeplessly enjoy

Our mutual affection. ```

22673

```

May God’s Life

And my life

Breathlessly enjoy

Our mutual attention. ```

22674

```

May God and I

Triumphantly enjoy

Our mutual interdependence.

```

22675

```

What am I doing?

I am growing and strengthening

In my heart-garden

My God-love-tree. ```

22676

```

Before

I asked God

To do many things

For me. ```

22677

```

Now

I ask God

To give me at least one thing

To do for Him. ```

22678

```

God’s Compassion-Eye-injection

Every day

I need.

```

22679

```

I can clearly see

That my Lord’s Hands

Are reaching down

Fast, very fast,

To clasp my bleeding heart.

```

22680

```

God’s constant Victory

Is my sleepless

And breathless desire.

```

22681

```

How can I idle away

A single moment,

When I have literally

Millions of things to do

For my Beloved Supreme?

```

22682

```

I am determined

To fill my life

With God-magnetism.

```

22683

```

I need

Self-effacement

With my God-devotion.

```

22684

```

God’s ultimate challenge

To man:

“Can you climb up,

My children?” ```

22685

```

Man’s ultimate challenge

To God:

“Can You climb down

And stay with us forever?” ```

22686

```

My soul has thrust upon me

A very special task:

I must discover God

In everybody and everything. ```

22687

```

God-worthiness

God gives us;

We cannot acquire it.

```

22688

```

True, I am not

God’s dearest friend,

But I claim to be

God’s faithful slave. ```

22689

```

As long as the creation lasts,

Human attachment

Will move side by side

With divine attachment. ```

22690

```

God-worship

Is

An unparalleled ecstasy.

```

22691

```

The desiring mind

Is nothing short of

The worst possible tyranny.

```

22692

```

To have a God-oneness-heart,

We need

A stillness-mind.

```

22693

```

May my aspiration-heart

Every day be drenched

With my God-longing tears.

```

22694

```

Self-giving love

Is always

Uncommon.

```

22695

```

A God-devotion-heart

Is bound to enjoy

An exquisite love.

```

22696

```

Our success-progress-life

Entirely depends on

God’s Grace.

```

22697

```

God wants us to be

Self-giving seekers.

Alas, we have become

Self-congratulating

And self-adulating seekers

Instead. ```

22698

```

If I cry and weep,

God will definitely disperse

All my mind’s

Darkness-clouds. ```

22699

```

My heart’s

Perpetual prayer-cry:

My Lord,

Illumine my mind,

Protect my life,

Feed my heart. ```

22700

```

God tells us

That His big Ears

Are only for

Our pure heart-prayers. ```

22701

```

I am extremely happy

That finally my mind,

My vital and my body

Are taking

The God-obedience-course.

```

22702

```

The unaspiring mind

Is always scattering

Undivine thoughts

All over the world. ```

22703

```

The aspiring heart

Spreads God-Beauty

And God-Fragrance

Everywhere. ```

22704

```

Selflessness not only diminishes

But also extinguishes

Our human ego-pride.

```

22705

```

Eagerness immediately

Increases the speed

Of our heart’s aspiration-journey.

```

22706

```

How I wish,

Like my heart,

My mind could also hear

The early morning God-songs. ```

22707

```

My gratitude-heart-tears

Are

My only belongings.

```

22708

```

Soulfulness

And the heart

Are intimate friends.

```

22709

```

I am determined

To strike against

My autocrat-mind-boss.

```

22710

```

My heart

Is made of my Lord’s

Concern-Breath.

```

22711

```

I begin my meditation

After I have sung

My heart-songs.

```

22712

```

If we want to make

The fastest progress,

Then we must prevent the mind

From drifting away

From our prayers and meditations.

```

22713

```

We must feed

Our soaring aspiration

With our heart-tears.

```

22714

```

During our meditation,

There is an unseen friend

Who is helping and guiding us:

Our soul. ```

22715

```

Every day I play

On my heart-flute

For my inspiring and illumining soul.

```

22716

```

Cheerfulness

Is the strongest power

That can end

Our despair-heart. ```

22717

```

Gratitude

Sweetens and deepens

Our heart.

```

22718

```

God tells me

My road is clear

Because my life has become

A moment-to-moment prayer. ```

22719

```

Spiritual progress

Thrives

On sincerity-tears.

```

22720

```

If we really want to make

The fastest progress,

Then our self-confidence

Must surrender

To our God-reliance.

```

22721

```

Do not slay your enemy,

But pray for your enemy

So that we can have

A world of infinite peace. ```

22722

```

Insecurity

Is nothing but

A perverted power.

```

22723

```

Our aspiration-heart blooms

When our life sees beauty

All around.

```

22724

```

Our meditation flies

With our soul-bird

In Infinity’s Sky.

```

22725

```

At every moment

We must feel that

It is an urgent necessity

To love and please God

In His own Way.

```

22726

```

Each prayer

Purifies

Our mind.

```

22727

```

Each meditation

Intensifies

Our heart.

```

22728

```

Each dedication

Unites

Our heart with God.

```

22729

```

I start my day

With my heart-intensity-tears

For God.

```

22730

```

Every day

My soul is eager

To import God’s Love

And God’s Compassion

Into my mind.

```

22731

```

Every day

I export my impurity-mind

To the land of nowhere.

```

22732

```

My hesitation-mind says:

“Where and how?” ```

22733

```

My dedication-heart says:

“Here and now!” ```

22734

```

Finally

I am putting an end

To my ignorance-persistence-mind.

```

22735

```

Our ignorance-mind

Does not know

That every day we are wasting

Our Lord’s most precious Time. ```

22736

```

Today’s disobedience-drop

Can tomorrow grow into

A destruction-sea.

```

22737

```

God never responds

To my speeches,

But He immediately responds

To my dedication. ```

22738

```

Do not look around.

Look within

To find your own divinity.

```

22739

```

God does not believe

In followers.

He believes only

In partners. ```

22740

```

Each aspiration-cry

Is a bridge

Between man’s heart

And God’s Heart. ```

22741

```

If you want to believe,

Do not beg your mind.

Strike your mind!

```

22742

```

Our insecurity

Is

Our false friend.

```

22743

```

Our love of God

Is not a mind-story

But a heart-song.

```

22744

```

True spirituality

Defies

Insoluble problems.

```

22745

```

If we do not have

The eager participation

Of each and every human being,

Then we can never manifest God

In God’s own Way.

```

22746

```

Do not feed

Your disobedience-ant-mind.

It will soon become

An elephant-destruction. ```

22747

```

My Lord Supreme

Works long, very long hours,

Only to make me happy

And keep me happy. ```

22748

```

An eagerness-heart

Every day

Is invited by God Himself

To dine with Him

At His Heart-Palace.

```

22749

```

We must become

Our gratitude-heart-tears

If we want to be illumined

By our inner sun. ```

22750

```

Be devoted.

Be faithful.

God is always right!

```

22751

```

I shall not wait for

Any more incarnations.

In this lifetime,

I shall accomplish my task:

I shall unconditionally love God

And manifest God fully. ```

22752

```

He who betrays

God’s Confidence in him

Can never be on the human level.

```

22753

```

O seeker,

Be farther than the farthest

From the expectation-trap.

```

22754

```

Everything is sweet, sweeter

And sweetest

When my Master knows

What I am doing. ```

22755

```

I am happy

Only when my Master

Does all the planning for me.

```

22756

```

Let me not forget

That at every moment

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Is cradling my heart,

My mind, my vital and my body.

```

22757

```

I must constantly send my Lord

Invitation letters

Until He comes to visit my heart.

```

22758

```

My God-oneness

Is the only fulness

In my life.

```

22759

```

My Lord,

I have planted devotion-plants

All around me

For Your blessingful Arrival. ```

22760

```

The God-poets

Need

No editor.

```

22761

```

May my aspiration

Be

Mountain-high.

```

22762

```

May my dedication

Be

Fountain-pure.

```

22763

```

Every morning

My Lord breaks down

My ignorance-walls.

```

22764

```

Every evening,

Alas,

I build my ignorance-walls

Anew. ```

22765

```

I am ready.

Everything of mine is ready.

But where are You, where,

My Lord Supreme? ```

22766

```

Every day

I eagerly look

For one thing:

My God-oneness. ```

22767

```

God does not need anybody.

Yet He makes all human beings feel

That they are indispensable.

```

22768

```

If I know

That God does not get joy

From my presence,

Why do I not dare

To change my life?

```

22769

```

I keep

My surrender-fire burning

Only for my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

22770

```

My Lord,

Your Compassion

Is my heart’s only dream

And my life’s only reality. ```

22771

```

My Lord, I want You,

Only You,

And nobody else

To be the Captain

Of my life-boat.

```

22772

```

The mind does not want

To accept the truth

That the whole world

Has been growing

In all the wrong directions.

```

22773

```

Unless and until I get God

To be the Pilot

Of my life-boat,

I shall never be able to arrive

At the Golden Shore.

```

22774

```

May my heart

Breathe ceaselessly

In God’s Infinity.

```

22775

```

May each and every soul

Swim and swim

In God-oneness-sea.

```

22776

```

Like my soul,

My heart also

Is dining

With God-closeness. ```

22777

```

To please God,

There is only one thing essential:

Bow and bow to God’s

Light and Delight-flooded Throne. ```

22778

```

Faith throws

Unreal fear

To the winds.

```

22779

```

The mind can only afford

To have

A tiny thought-apartment.

```

22780

```

The heart can afford

To have

A royal palace.

```

22781

```

The heart lives

On God’s Sweetness

And Fondness.

```

22782

```

O seeker,

Never be caught

By your outer possessions.

```

22783

```

O seeker,

A possession-renunciation-life

Can alone please you.

```

22784

```

The aspiration-sunshine

Of the heart

Will always succeed.

```

22785

```

A true aspiration-heart

Can never be affected

By the mind’s stormy weather.

```

22786

```

God the Guest

Eagerly waits for

An invitation

From my aspiration. ```

22787

```

Everything in me

Longs to embrace

God-oneness-horizon.

```

22788

```

The mind-dictator

Wants to rule the whole world

With an iron fist.

```

22789

```

The God-lover-heart

Wants to illumine the world

For the perfect manifestation of God

On earth. ```

22790

```

A God-loving life

Becomes

A God-pleasing heart.

```

22791

```

O my positive thoughts,

Can you not sing and dance

Through my mind?

```

22792

```

My soul’s smile

Brightens my life. ```

22793

```

My heart’s cries

Enlighten my life. ```

22794

```

Finally

God has allowed me

To be a permanent resident

In His Heart-Home. ```

22795

```

The mind-road

Is always dark and frightening

Because it has no

Love-devotion-surrender-lamps. ```

22796

```

The God-discovery-road

Is at once

The fragrance of ancient times

And

The beauty of the modern time.

```

22797

```

The invisible God

Becomes visible

When He sees

A heart of purity. ```

22798

```

God treasures

And embraces

Our purity-sunrise-heart.

```

22799

```

A day without aspiration

Is, indeed,

A crawling day.

```

22800

```

God is impressed

Only when we sing

In all sincerity

Our God-surrender-song. ```

22801

```

When I stop praying,

My life becomes

A torturing nightmare.

```

22802

```

My Lord tells me point-blank

That my undisciplined life

Will be the cause of my downfall.

```

22803

```

I long to be a stranger

To all world conspiracies

And controversies.

```

22804

```

The world of fiction

Has to be turned into

A realm of poetry.

```

22805

```

Smile day and night:

You will be able to wrestle

With all your foes.

```

22806

```

God’s Heart

Cradles

My crying heart.

```

22807

```

God’s Eye

Cradles

My serving life.

```

22808

```

If we want to make

The fastest progress,

Then with utter abandon

We must give ourselves

To God.

```

22809

```

Each moment

Is a new Promise-fulfilment-opportunity. ```

22810

```

I do not know

Why I stand so far away

From the door of God’s Will.

```

22811

```

We all enjoy earth-pleasure,

Denying God’s

Heaven-Treasure.

```

22812

```

Day and night

We race around

Life’s expectation-track.

```

22813

```

With my aspiration-heart

I try to draw every day

Nearer and nearer

To God’s blessingful Heartbeat. ```

22814

```

No atom

Is empty of

God’s Will.

```

22815

```

God’s Will

Is always ready

To reveal itself

To mankind. ```

22816

```

My bleeding heart

Is held by God Himself

As a most sacred treasure.

```

22817

```

Continue with your prayers

And meditations

Until God is fully satisfied.

```

22818

```

When we pray soulfully,

The outer world

Does not dare to frighten us.

```

22819

```

When we meditate sleeplessly,

The inner world

Does not dare to frighten us.

```

22820

```

When we smile at God,

We give God the opportunity

To sing and play with us.

```

22821

```

Without inner freedom

No one can spiritually grow,

And this inner freedom is

Constant oneness with God’s Will. ```

22822

```

No God-service

Can ever be too great. ```

22823

```

There is God-Speed

In everything. ```

22824

```

The mind

Is apt to speculate foolishly

About peace and God.

```

22825

```

There can be nothing

Beyond the domain of

God’s ultimate Forgiveness.

```

22826

```

Negativity

Knows how to paralyse

Our God-aspiration.

```

22827

```

My obedience-heart

Every day

Is beckoned by

God’s blessingful Hands. ```

22828

```

Do not allow your life

To be crushed

Under the wheel

Of useless change. ```

22829

```

May my heart’s

Happiness-rainbow

Expand and expand.

```

22830

```

The bad experiences

Of the mind

And the good experiences

Of the heart

Chase each other.

```

22831

```

Ignorance-sea

Is vaster than

We can ever imagine.

```

22832

```

There is no end to our heart’s

Possible mistakes,

Alas, alas.

```

22833

```

Alas,

There is no end to our mind’s

Impossible blunders.

```

22834

```

Alas,

In my heart-temple

I allow God to remain

Unworshipped. ```

22835

```

I must shake and wake

My lethargy-body

Quite often.

```

22836

```

My heart

Lives

In aspiration-days.

```

22837

```

My mind

Lives

In desire-ages.

```

22838

```

World-renunciation

Is not

God-satisfaction.

```

22839

```

World-acceptance

For world-transformation

Is God-satisfaction.

```

22840

```

The mind does not know that

There is something called

The Vision of God.

```

22841

```

The mind

Deliberately forgets

To invite God.

```

22842

```

The heart

Self-givingly

Invites God.

```

22843

```

Every morning

God tells us to embark on Perfection-journey. ```

22844

```

No sincere heart

Will take its eyes off

Its Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet.

```

22845

```

To arrive at God’s Heart-Palace,

A God-eager heart

Can never be late in anything.

```

22846

```

The hunger

Of the desire-land

Is ever-increasing.

```

22847

```

My two virtue-trophies,

Patience and perseverance,

I place at my Lord’s Feet.

```

22848

```

I please God in two ways:

With my heart’s baby cries

And

With my life’s big smiles. ```

22849

```

My gratitude-heart

Has to be sincere

If I want to see

God’s Heart throbbing. ```

22850

```

If you want to conceal anything

From God,

Then you are courting

Your failure-life. ```

22851

```

Desire monopolises.

Aspiration harmonises. ```

22852

```

God does not need

A secret seeker. ```

22853

```

God needs

A sacred seeker. ```

22854

```

God’s Compassion-Flood

Outlasts everything. ```

22855

```

The mind

Thinks that God

Is an unkind boss.

```

22856

```

The heart

Feels that God

Is a most reliable slave.

```

22857

```

Impossibility

Stands in our way

When we want to understand God.

```

22858

```

It is not good to delay

Or expedite

God’s Hour.

```

22859

```

God-Touch-Sweetness

I sleeplessly long for. ```

22860

```

A self-giving life

Is halfway to Heaven. ```

22861

```

The exorbitant pride

Of the mind

Grinds most people down.

```

22862

```

Even before you hire the vital

To do any work for God,

The vital becomes tired.

```

22863

```

My life has

No protection

Without the Direction

Of God. ```

22864

```

Today I pray

So that tomorrow

I shall not despair.

```

22865

```

I want to remain alert

Only in the Heart of

My Beloved Supreme.

```

22866

```

Just between you and me,

God is impartial,

But He can be partial as well.

```

22867

```

How can the doom of night

Attack you

If you remain always

In the bloom of your heart? ```

22868

```

God-advisers

Are all-where. ```

22869

```

God-listeners

Are nowhere. ```

22870

```

God wants us to be punctual

In the beginning and at the end

Of our God-service.

He never wants us to work overtime. ```

22871

```

God never minds

If we arrive at His Heart-Palace

Uninvited.

```

22872

```

The motto of aspiration

Is inevitability,

And not possibility.

```

22873

```

I am a stark fool

If I think that God

Will not be able to erase

All my life’s blunders. ```

22874

```

In the aspiration-world

I am one

Among the needy.

```

22875

```

In the desire-world

I am one

Among the greedy.

```

22876

```

If we are already lovable,

Then God’s Compassion

Will one day make us

Indispensable. ```

22877

```

The deeper I dig,

The surer I become. ```

22878

```

My mind

Calls it strictness.

My heart

Calls it kindness. ```

22879

```

The animal in me

Rages in vain. ```

22880

```

The human in me

Ages in vain. ```

22881

```

The divine in me

Races and succeeds. ```

22882

```

The human in me

Slowly and gradually dies. ```

22883

```

The divine in me

Eternally flies. ```

22884

```

Devotion-demonstration

Is the height of

A seeker’s stupidity.

```

22885

```

Life is the interplay

Of success and failure. ```

22886

```

You cannot be

God’s dove

If you are your

Ego-love. ```

22887

```

He who loves

Teeming desires

Lives in the kingdom

Of fools. ```

22888

```

Surrender succeeds

When everything else

Fails.

```

22889

```

Nothing makes sense to me,

Save and except

The dust of God’s Feet.

```

22890

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To offer You

My gratitude-heart

Around the clock.

```

22891

```

My Lord,

I need only one Boon from You:

A heart of ceaseless cries.

```

22892

```

My cheerful surrender

To God’s Will

Is the only thing

That concerns God. ```

22893

```

God is proud of me

Only when I am breathless

At the sound of His Footfalls.

```

22894

```

My Lord,

If You really love me,

Then scold me ruthlessly

The moment I disobey You. ```

22895

```

I wish to hear

From God

His Life-Stories.

```

22896

```

God wishes to hear

From me

My heart-songs.

```

22897

```

I have never seen God

Getting really mad,

But I have seen God so often

Really feeling sad. ```

22898

```

My Lord, do tell me,

How many more years

Will Your Net need

To catch my heart and my all? ```

22899

```

Man the psychiatrist

Has made me really crazy.

I am now longing

For the real psychiatrist:

God the Compassion-Eye.

```

22900

```

Mother Earth,

My heart breaks into

Millions of pieces

The moment I think of

Your insufferable agonies.

```

22901

```

My God-devotion

Is my sole

Earth-identification.

```

22902

```

My God-separation

Is absurdity’s

Strongest illusion.

```

22903

```

God wants me

To take from Him every day

Compassion-lessons.

```

22904

```

No matter how hard I try,

Ignorance

Still does not leave me.

```

22905

```

I vividly see my Lord

In two places:

In my mind-cave

And

In my heart-palace.

```

22906

```

God’s Heart

I sleeplessly

Love.

```

22907

```

God’s Feet

I breathlessly

Adore.

```

22908

```

God forgives me.

Indeed,

This is no news.

```

22909

```

God loves me.

Indeed,

This is no news.

```

22910

```

God has become me.

Indeed,

This is the news of news.

```

22911

```

God-believers and God-lovers

Are God’s

Fondness-cherishers.

```

22912

```

When I live

In my heart,

God is my Beloved.

```

22913

```

When I live

In my mind,

God is my examiner.

```

22914

```

When I live

In my vital,

God is my stranger.

```

22915

```

When I live

In my body,

God is my Guardian.

```

22916

```

When I live

In my breath,

God is my All.

```

22917

```

To make me His server,

God is making me

Strong.

```

22918

```

To make me His Friend,

God is making me

Pure.

```

22919

```

To make me His Partner,

God is making me

Self-giving.

```

22920

```

God wants us

To harmonise our lives.

Alas, we have

Demonised our lives,

Instead.

```

22921

```

Within, without,

Constant God-invocation,

My only task.

```

22922

```

May my devotion be

Purity itself

To please my Lord Supreme.

```

22923

```

The omniscient, omnipotent

And omnipresent God

Wants me to be

His magnificent seeker. ```

22924

```

I call Him my Supreme,

But alas, do I ever allow Him

To rule over my life supremely?

```

22925

```

Do not condone

But postpone desire-life

Indefinitely.

```

22926

```

I am no longer

My body’s

Lethargy-victim.

```

22927

```

I am no longer

My vital’s

Aggression-victim.

```

22928

```

I am no longer

My mind’s

Suspicion-victim.

```

22929

```

I am no longer

My heart’s

Insecurity-victim.

```

22930

```

I am no longer

My life’s

God-failure-victim.

```

22931

```

My Lord,

Two boons I need from You:

Dedication-boon

And

Manifestation-boon.

```

22932

```

My heart aches and throbs

For a fleeting moment

Of God-Company.

```

22933

```

Nothing can disturb me

When I am in my heart

And for my Lord Supreme.

```

22934

```

Alas,

Why do we allow ourselves

To be haunted

By stark memories of the past? ```

22935

```

We fold our hands,

But where is our mind

And, specially,

Where is our heart? ```

22936

```

God-separation

Is nothing short of

Self-destruction.

```

22937

```

In vain I cry and cry

In the ashes

Of my God-failure-life.

```

22938

```

No life is undivine.

Alas, the mind forces us

To see it in that way.

```

22939

```

Do not make your life miserable

By judging

The God-success-joy of others.

```

22940

```

A true seeker

Can never be tired

Of adoring God, loving God

And serving God. ```

22941

```

The mind says

That it has so many things to do.

Therefore,

How can it think of God? ```

22942

```

The heart says,

“I have only one thing to do,

And I am doing that

With tremendous success:

My God-service.”

```

22943

```

If we cherish

And treasure God,

God definitely gets pleasure.

```

22944

```

Nothing can ever equal

My sacred

God-fulfilment-necessity.

```

22945

```

We enjoy the expression

Of our mind.

God enjoys the expansion

Of our heart. ```

22946

```

My Lord,

May my aspiration-heart

Every morning wake up

With the dawn. ```

22947

```

My mind e-mail

Entangles my mind

And my life.

```

22948

```

My heart knee-mail

Finds God

And claims God’s Heart.

```

22949

```

Every spiritual seeker

Needs tuning every day

For a superb performance.

```

22950

```

God loves me

Even if I do not

Care for Him.

```

22951

```

Today worship,

Tomorrow become. ```

22952

```

God does not believe in

My advice. ```

22953

```

God does believe in

My prayers. ```

22954

```

God does not enjoy

His Lordship. ```

22955

```

God enjoys only

His friendship

And partnership.

```

22956

```

Dark days

Eventually surrender

To the path of Light.

```

22957

```

God wants you

To count the blessings —

His Blessings.

```

22958

```

God will count the problems —

Your problems. ```

22959

```

Every time God sees me,

He tells me only one thing:

“My child, we need to talk.”

```

22960

```

He was born in a manger.

God made Him

The World-Manager

Plus more. ```

22961

```

Not what you know

But whom you know

Is of supreme importance.

```

22962

```

Salvation is free,

But you must ask for it. ```

22963

```

The mind-story

Quickly informs us. ```

22964

```

The heart-song

Slowly transforms us. ```

22965

```

Today

We are allowed

To stand.

```

22966

```

Tomorrow

We must kneel. ```

22967

```

Children

Are afraid of darkness

Without.

```

22968

```

Parents

Are afraid of Light

Within.

```

22969

```

God’s Message

Never changes. ```

22970

```

Our desire-life

Does change. ```

22971

```

Not to be

A downright failure,

Always remain

An upright heart. ```

22972

```

We cherish

Our nothingness

More than we cherish

Our usefulness. ```

22973

```

Our prayers

May rescue us

Temporarily.

```

22974

```

Our Lord Supreme

Saves us

Permanently.

```

22975

```

God’s Mind

Is

A justice-builder.

```

22976

```

God’s Heart

Is

An injustice-demolisher.

```

22977

```

Give God

What He rightfully deserves,

And give Him not

What is left over. ```

22978

```

Our minds believe in

Credit cards. ```

22979

```

Our hearts believe in

Only God-cash. ```

22980

```

The human in us

Needs proof

And authenticity.

```

22981

```

The divine in us

Needs only service

And practice.

```

22982

```

To help others

Is absolutely necessary

To make us taller and deeper

In our inner life. ```

22983

```

Inside the mind-darkroom,

Quite often

Negativity broods.

```

22984

```

No imperfection

Is ever negligible. ```

22985

```

God-happiness we find

Not when we enter

The heart-temple,

Not when we are seated inside

The heart-temple,

But only when we pray and meditate

Inside the heart-temple.

```

22986

```

The divine in us

Pays all the bills from the world

For its earth-existence.

It does not owe anything. ```

22987

```

O my mind,

God is not on vacation,

And He has not left you

In charge of this world. ```

22988

```

Try to love God.

If you do not succeed,

The hostile forces

Will definitely take you back. ```

22989

```

When I cry,

I expect God. ```

22990

```

When I smile,

God welcomes me. ```

22991

```

A single thought of peace

Can make

A world of difference.

```

22992

```

The language of the heart

Is the only language

That everybody can understand.

```

22993

```

My Lord,

I obey Your Commands,

But give me the capacity

To obey them instantly, soulfully

And self-givingly.

```

22994

```

My Lord,

Your leadership in my life

Is my only saviour.

```

22995

```

One true thought of God

Is my

Heart-rapture.

```

22996

```

There can be no real need

For any human being,

Save and except an urgent need

For God’s Victory. ```

22997

```

My heart-piano plays

Only one thing:

God-love-rhapsody.

```

22998

```

God the Compassion

Is

Our smooth sailing.

```

22999

```

God the Forgiveness

Is

Our safe landing.

```

23000

```

Go down on your knees.

God will not only lift you up

But also bless you

With a mighty embrace. ```
