You1

You want God. You need God. You have God. You are God.

You want God and you need God.

When you are in your vital, you want God.
When you are in your heart, you need God.

Your vital demands God’s choice Hour.
Your heart devotedly waits for God’s choice Hour.

When your vital knocks at God’s door, no answer.
Frustrated, you break open God’s door.
Alas, alas, God is not to be found in His room. He is elsewhere.

God knocks at your heart’s door.
You immediately answer.
God blesses your devoted head.
God embraces your surrendered heart.

You want God in order to dominate His vast creation.
You need God in order to emancipate your little world.

You have God and you are God.

You have God, therefore you can look up.
You are God, therefore you can dive within.

You have God, therefore the world loves you.
You are God, therefore it is you alone who can expand your universal consciousness,it is you alone who can always transcend your ever-transcending height.

You have God. Your sea-deep eyes can prove it.
You are God. Your sun-vast heart is the proof.

You have God. Your body of sound can prove it.
You are God. Your soul of silence is the proof.

You have God, therefore death bows to you.
You are God, therefore immortality claims you.

You have God, therefore you are unmistakably great.
You are God, therefore you are ceaselessly good.

AUM

God you want?

Then your first friend is temptation,
Your second friend is frustration,
Your third friend is destruction.

God you need?

Then your first friend is love,
Your second friend is devotion,
Your third friend is surrender.

God you have.

Your first friend is aspiration,
Your second friend is liberation,
Your third friend is realisation.

God you are.

Your first friend is revelation,
Your second friend is manifestation,
Your third friend is perfection.

God you want? Be careful.
God you need? Be hopeful.
God you have. Whom else do you need? None.
God you are. Who does not need you? None.

Everybody needs you, for you have God, for you are God.
You are the body,
You are the vital,
You are the mind,
You are the heart,
You are the soul

Of what you have and what you are.
What you have is a vast heart.
What you are is a glowing soul.

God you want. God you need. God you have. God you are.
