My body, my soul and I are free.

    With my inner progress,
But I am not.
    My Lord is satisfied
With my outer success,

I am still unkind to my Lord.
I have not given Him
    An opportunity to rest,
Which He so rightly deserves.

    That I am nearer than the nearest
    To my Lord Supreme.

My outer sight tells me
    That I am farther than the farthest
    From my Lord Supreme.

Whom to believe?

If I believe my inner vision,
    Pride tortures my heart.
If I believe my outer sight,
    Frustration tortures my mind.

    Therefore
I am not going to believe either.

Sweet is my hope.
Pure is the life of my hope.

With my sweet hope
    I try to reach the higher worlds.

    Heaven-possessiveness,
    God-possessiveness,
    And
    Self-possessiveness.

I have surrendered my wisdom
So that earth-heart can be flooded
With my wisdom-light.

That I am another God.

God-reality.

For suffering earth-life
    And
Bleeding world-heart.

30. Concern

With my unlit and unconscious

But also add beauty and satisfaction
To His cosmic Game.

    Because
It was I who had helped him
And made him the possessor of ages.

43. Do you have anything else?

O earth,
Do you have anything else
Save and except
Your blind God?

O Heaven,
Do you have anything else
Save and except
Your callous indifference?

Do You have anything else
Save and except
Your unknowable Sacrifice-Life?

Yours is the mind
    That envies.

Yours is the heart
    That bears.

My God and a lover?
No difference,
Absolutely none.

Here on earth
I had to choose either
The soul or material wealth.
I chose the soul.

There in Heaven
I had to choose either
God-manifestation on earth
    Or
God-enjoyment in Heaven.
I chose God-manifestation on earth.

Always be busy.
    Earth's indolence
Will surrender to you;

That God is everywhere?
Then just do one thing:
Try to be pure.
If you become pure,
Then you will see
That it is not just God
Who is everywhere
    But
You, too, are everywhere.
Be pure, like God.
Your existence-light
Shall shine everywhere.
