My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 16

11

```

A heart-ride-elevator is needed

To meet with our Beloved Supreme

At the topmost floor.

```

APR 1404. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 7 December 2002.↩

2

```

Every morning without fail

I must sing

A God-satisfaction-song.

```

3

```

My prayer-connection

With my Lord Supreme

Is extremely sweet.

```

4

```

My meditation-oneness

With my Lord Supreme

Is permanently delightful.

```

5

```

A sublime meditation

Means an exploration

Of the heart-depth.

```

6

```

If God asks me twice

To do something,

Then I am not

A true God-lover. ```

7

```

Our mind is apt to replay

All our Himalayan blunders. ```

8

```

Our heart is apt to keep

In secrecy supreme

All our God-pleasing deeds.

```

92

```

God is God’s highest Hope

For every sincere seeker.

```

APR 1412. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 8 December 2002.↩

10

```

God’s loftiest Pride I become

Only when I am in love

With everything about God.

```

11

```

My heart-tears

Embody my soul’s

Ecstasy-thrill.

```

12

```

To a purity-mind,

Real meditation

Is as simple as breathing.

```

13

```

I have peace of mind

Only when I see everything

From God’s point of view.

```

14

```

God’s big Ears

Are extremely fond of

My little prayers.

```

15

```

A simplicity-life embodies

God’s abundant Light

And Delight.

```

16

```

Every morning

During my meditation

God visits my heart-home,

And many, many celestial beings

He brings with Him.

```

17

```

My God-gratitude

Is at once

My heart-expansion

And my life-revelation. ```

18

```

The body does not fly any flag.

The vital flies its own flag.

The mind flies its own flag.

The heart flies God’s Flag.

The soul does not fly any flag,

For God has chosen the soul

To be His own Flag.

```

193

```

The outer running

Begins on the road

And ends on the road.

The inner running begins

Inside the silence-heart,

And it continues

Along Eternity’s Road.

```

APR 1422. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 9 December 2002.↩

20

```

In the outer life,

Time’s deadline exists.

In the inner life,

Time has no deadline. ```

21

```

False tears

God sooner or later forgives.

Real tears

God immediately accepts

And forever treasures.

```

22

```

When my body, my vital,

My mind and my heart

Are absolutely pure,

All the galaxies most beautifully

And most powerfully revolve

In my Infinity’s Eye. ```

23

```

God the Sound

Feeds

My soaring prayers.

```

24

```

God the Silence

Feeds

My diving meditations.

```

25

```

My outer frame

May not be beautiful,

But the Real in me,

My Lord Supreme,

Is extremely beautiful.

```

26

```

My body may not be strong,

But inside my body

The real power,

The Power Absolute,

Dwells.

```

27

```

Do not look at my eyes

If you need anything from me,

But look at my heart.

You will get everything

From my heart.

```

284

```

My Lord,

I sleeplessly long to be

Your breathless slave.

```

APR 1431. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 10 December 2002.↩

29

```

It is high time for me

To come out of my mind’s

Darkness-confusion-hesitation-cave.

```

30

```

God powerfully clasps

My heart of gratitude

To His own Heart of Pride.

```

31

```

Every day we please

Our ego-lord.

Alas, how rarely we please

The Pilot of our own life-boat. ```

32

```

May my heart’s hope-sun

Never set. ```

33

```

No God-loving heart

Can ever be short

Of oneness-supplies.

```

34

```

My heart loves God

In His infinite

And ever-changing moods.

```

35

```

I must immensely enjoy

My heart’s millions of pluses

And vehemently reject

My life’s hundreds of minuses. ```

36

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Smiles

And my heart’s aspiration-tears

Eagerly, lovingly and self-givingly

Work together. ```

375

```

Every day my heart and I

Desperately long for a glimpse

Of our Lord’s Feet.

```

APR 1440. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 11 December 2002.↩

38

```

O my mind,

Now that you are extremely pure,

I am so proud of you!

Please do not allow yourself to be fouled

By stark ignorance any more.

```

39

```

A self-giving life

Always basks in the sunshine

Of God’s Paradise-Presence.

```

40

```

When I go far beyond the domain

Of my earth-bound mind,

God immediately stops the clock.

```

41

```

At times God may close

His Ear to me,

But He never closes

His Eye to me. ```

42

```

I shall never allow

The beauty of my aspiration-heart

To fade.

```

43

```

No anxiety, no worry

Can ever perturb

A God-surrender-life.

```

44

```

My sleepless God-devotion-heart

Does not allow doubt-fog

To cloud my horizons.

```

45

```

This morning my Lord Supreme

Came to me and said,

“My child, I am now making you

A permanent member

Of My Universal Heart-Society.”

```

466

```

My outer race-victory-smile

Makes God

Enormously happy.

```

APR 1449. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 12 December 2002.↩

47

```

My inner race-victory-smile

Makes God

Boundlessly proud of me.

```

48

```

O my God-pleasing readiness,

Willingness and eagerness-life,

Wake up, wake up!

Sleep no more! ```

49

```

The misuse of God’s Compassion

Extinguishes our heart’s

Heaven-climbing flames.

```

50

```

God does not mind

When I tell Him

Whatever is on my mind.

He does not mind

Even when I ruthlessly

Speak ill of Him.

But He does mind

When I think ill of myself. ```

51

```

Each self-giving act

Expedites our inner journey

To God’s Heart-Home.

```

52

```

In the spiritual life,

There is only one

Unpardonable blunder:

Ingratitude. ```

53

```

My heart’s gratitude-sweetness

God incessantly

And breathlessly drinks.

```

54

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

When will You be compassionate,

Close and intimate to me again?

“My child, right now!

This is the right time —

This very moment.” ```

55

```

Alas, my heart’s purity-moon

Does not recognise me and my life

Any more.

```

56

```

Only in my silence-heart

My soul-bird sings. ```

57

```

The Hour of God has struck.

Humanity once more

Is going to open its heart-garden.

```

58

```

Affection ascends.

Attachment descends. ```

59

```

My mind multiplies everything

Incorrectly.

My heart unifies everything

Perfectly. ```

607

```

Each aspiration-cry

Is

A God-discovery-attempt.

```

APR 1463. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 13 December 2002.↩

61

```

Each meditation-depth-attempt

Is rich

With God-realisation-promise.

```

62

```

The mind has endless questions.

The heart has only one question:

“Am I really pleasing my Lord Supreme

In His own Way?” ```

63

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Are showing my life-boat

The Golden Shore. ```

64

```

I pray to God

To give me the capacity

To live in the soulfulness of my heart

And in the Fulness of His Will. ```

65

```

To make the fastest progress

In my spiritual life,

I need a mind watchful,

A heart soulful

And a breath Godful.

```

66

```

Every day

I must devotedly nourish

My God-willingness-life-plant.

```

67

```

The perfection of a seeker’s life

Is a gradual hill

And a throbbing thrill.

```

68

```

My life’s story

Shall eventually end

In my Lord’s loftiest Glory.

```

69

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That every day

He requires only four persons:

The dreamer in me, the seeker in me,

The lover in me and the server in me.

```

708

```

We can overfeed ourselves easily,

But we can never overfeed

Our Lord Supreme

With our love, devotion and surrender.

```

APR 1473. These prayers were given in Taupo, New Zealand — 14 December 2002.↩

71

```

My only task

Is to accelerate the hour

Of my ego’s demise.

```

72

```

The transcendental Love

Blooms.

Lo and behold,

The universal Peace

Blossoms.

```

73

```

Everything that I receive

During my deepest meditation

Is handmade by Heaven.

```

74

```

Determination-volcano

I have.

Patience-sea

I need. ```

75

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Forgiveness-Heart

Has given my life

Not only a new beginning,

But also a real meaning.

```

76

```

An unimaginable silence-thrill

We can enjoy

Only when our mind

Is absolutely still. ```

77

```

At every moment

My Beloved Supreme is devouring

My happiness-eye-smiles

And my sadness-heart-tears. ```

78

```

My God-surrender-delight

Is the polestar

Of my life.

```

79

```

Fastest I am able

To sail my life-boat

Precisely because

My God-gratitude-heart

Is full of silver tears.

```
