My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 35

11

```

Death is not

The end.

Death is

Our silence-friend.

```

APR 2802. These prayers were given in Qingdao, China — 21 December 2004.↩

2

```

Death

Has an end.

Life

Is an eternal flow. ```

3

```

My Lord tells me

That my God-obedience

Is far beyond all boundaries.

```

4

```

God’s Justice-Eye

Quite often

Takes a vacation.

```

5

```

The complacent life

Of a spiritual seeker

Is extremely destructive.

```

6

```

Sincere aspiration-seekers

Always succeed. ```

7

```

A God-obedience-life

Is an inner beauty

And an outer beauty as well.

```

8

```

God’s Compassion-Train

Carries to the Destination

Only those who have implicit faith

In God’s Compassion. ```

9

```

God wants every seeker

To be for the whole world

And for all time.

```

10

```

My cheerful surrender

To God’s Will

Is an express train

To God’s Feet. ```

11

```

Our aspiration-moments

Expedite

Our God-arrival.

```

12

```

Remember,

Your heart-beauty-smile

Is for all.

```

13

```

Cheerfulness

Is

A most remarkable beginning.

```

14

```

Never allow

Your aspiration-speed

To slow down.

```

15

```

A heart-love finds itself

In the heart

Of everybody’s love.

```

162

```

Life is not

A helpless cry.

Life is

A brave journey.

```

APR 2802. These prayers were given in Qingdao, China — 22 December 2004.↩

17

```

Inside my self-reliance,

Uncertainty

Looms large.

```

18

```

Inside my God-reliance,

My soul rings

My victory-bell.

```

19

```

If you do not want to be homeless

In your spiritual life,

Then consciously place your heart

And your life-breath

In the Heart-Home

Of your Lord Supreme. ```

20

```

Our God-security

Lives at two places:

Inside our soul-heights

And inside our heart-depths. ```

213

```

God says to my heart,

“Welcome, welcome,

My aspiration-child!”

```

APR 2802. These prayers were given in Qingdao, China — 23 December 2004.↩

22

```

My faith can open up

God’s Heart-Door

At any time.

```

23

```

Do not blame anybody

For this world.

The world is entirely

God’s Creation. ```

24

```

Everything that is good

I cherish. ```

25

```

Everything that is bad

I consciously and deliberately

Leave behind.

```

26

```

The way misfortune dogs us,

Can we not dog the divine ideas

In exactly the same way?

```

27

```

The desire-world

Is always empty

Of reality.

```

28

```

My realisation-elevator

Reaches the highest floor,

Where God accumulates

All His world-transformation-Dreams. ```

29

```

I am a proud

God’s Compassion-Feet-beggar. ```

30

```

God does not appreciate me

When I say that His Creation

Is beyond repair.

```

31

```

My prayer

Is

My life-song.

```

32

```

My meditation

Is

My heart-sunlight.

```

33

```

The world is full

Of one thing:

Ignorance-prisons.

```

34

```

My gratitude-heart

Is

My soul-beauty’s flower.

```

35

```

War breaks.

God cries. ```

36

```

God’s favourite child, Peace,

Consoles God

By promising a new world

Empty of war. ```

37

```

How long can my mind hide

My Lord’s Victory-Banner —

How long?

```

38

```

My desire

Wants

World-attractions.

```

39

```

My false aspiration

Wants

World-attention.

```

40

```

My sincere aspiration

Desires

God-Affection.

```

41

```

I desire God’s Manifestation-fulfilment-determination.

```

42

```

Aspiration goes up

High, higher, highest. ```

43

```

Transformation goes

Around and around,

Here, there and everywhere.

```

44

```

Disobedience

Is a seeker’s

Spiritual death-cancer.

```

45

```

The negativity-mind

Rightly deserves

An immediate grave.

```

46

```

Do not worry —

God will return to your heart.

Just be careful this time!

```

47

```

I dearly love

My soul’s constant

God-fulfilling dreams.

```

48

```

How I wish

I could be

One choice dream

Of my Lord Supreme! ```

49

```

I wish to become

A genuine God-lover

And God-server.

```

50

```

God wants me to be

Nothing other than

His sleepless and breathless partner.

```
