Of divine experiencesAnd obliteration
Of undivine experiencesAre both God’s choice Gifts
To man. ```May the cry

Of my illumination-soul. ```Never allow
Doubt the thiefTo enter into
Your heart’s aspiration-room! ```Remain always satisfied
With your eternally oldAnd eternally new job:
Spirituality. ```Impurity
Governs his mind.Insecurity
Governs his heart.Uncertainty
Governs his life. ```I admire
Your unclouded eyes.I love
Your revealed heart. ```Although
Insecurity is a tiny insect,When it bites
It hurts unimaginably. ```Death does not dare
To ask himWhen he will be ready
To accept death’s invitation. ```Even the obscurity of his mind
Clings toThe purity of his heart.
```Infinity’s Smile
Does not likeHumanity’s eternal despair.
```God is extremely pleased with you
Only for one reason:Every morning and every evening
You synchronise your life-watchWith the Compassion-Watch
Of God’s Heart. ```True,
You are a liberated soul.But you cannot be
So indifferentTo the sufferings
Of earth-bound time. ```The heart’s happiness
Lifts manTo God’s higher Realms.
```Heaven’s satisfaction
AndEarth’s frustration
Do not care for each other. ```Alas,
My mind has forced meTo lose my existence-life
Inside the chasmOf deathless darkness.
```God has granted you
The highest satisfaction-diplomaFrom His inner School
Because every day you singA new soulful surrender-song
To HimTo please Him in His own Way.
```Because you are not
A true truth-seekerAnd true God-lover,
Every day you indulge in complaints —Complaints against human beings,
And even against God! ```Instead of dreaming
Your dead dreams,Try to dream
Of new realities. ```Become the soulful cry
Of your aspiration-heartTo manifest the Smile
Of your Beloved SupremeOn earth.
