My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 40

11

```

God’s Heart-Doors

Do not believe in

Even one single lock.

```

APR 3236. These prayers were given in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — 23 November 2005.↩

2

```

The mind’s brilliance

Dazzles.

The heart’s aspiration

Radiates. ```

3

```

To my greatest joy,

I am not a beginner

But an adept

In the world-service-game. ```

4

```

Only to the sleepless self-givers

God gives the golden opportunity

To shoulder His Responsibilities.

```

5

```

I need help,

And I get inner Help from God

And outer help from man.

Left to myself,

I shall not succeed

In any field of God-manifestation

Here on earth.

```

6

```

Every morning

And every evening

I pray to be a foot soldier

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

7

```

The mind envies

The success of the world.

The heart embraces

The progress of the world. ```

8

```

My powerful smiles

Please God.

My helpless tears

Please God equally. ```

9

```

Each God-lover

Is a sunrise-heart

And not a sunset-life.

```

102

```

I am a God-beggar

At God’s Feet.

```

APR 3245. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 24 November 2005.↩

11

```

I am not a man-beggar

At man’s door. ```

12

```

Early retirement-enjoyment

Is the height of stupidity. ```

13

```

My heart, do not despair!

God’s Compassion-Concern-Heart

Is fast approaching you.

```

14

```

God says to me,

“My child,

Your aspiration deserves

A round of applause.” ```

15

```

God says to me,

“My child,

Your dedication deserves

A standing ovation.” ```

16

```

God says to me,

“My child,

Your manifestation of My Light

Deserves man’s greatest admiration

And My proudest Blessings.”

```

17

```

My love-devotion-surrender-life

With no gratitude

Is my God-failure-ineptitude.

```

18

```

The giant mind

Eventually topples.

The tiny heart

Eventually triumphs. ```

19

```

In the spiritual life,

God-faith is the armour

And God-surrender is the warrior.

```

203

```

God says, “No!”

God’s Eye says, “Yes!”

God’s Heart says,

“Come in, My child, come in!”

```

APR 3255. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 25 November 2005.↩

21

```

This morning

My heart’s love-affection-stadium

Has invited all God-seekers

And all God-lovers. ```

22

```

My Lord,

I am

Because Your Heart

Affectionately and sleeplessly is. ```

23

```

Truth-telling people

I love.

Truth-seeking people

I need. ```

24

```

Each good thought

Is

A new vision-pathfinder.

```

25

```

Life is not

The supremacy-power of man.

Life is

The Compassion-Shower of God. ```

26

```

I am true to myself.

Therefore I am exceedingly happy.

I am true to God.

Therefore I am a perfection-bud.

If I continue

To remain true to God,

Then there shall come a time

When I shall grow into

A perfect perfection-blossom.

```

274

```

My morning dawns

With a hope-panorama.

```

APR 3262. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 26 November 2005.↩

28

```

Each soul starts

From a different plane

Of consciousness,

But at the end of the journey,

All arrive at the same destination.

```

29

```

My mind,

I command you —

Stop at once what you are doing

And follow God! ```

30

```

When we do not try

Our very best,

We are compelled to have

A God-empty life-road. ```

31

```

God picks

Our gratitude-flowers

From our ingratitude-thorns.

```

32

```

My Lord, can I?

“No!”

My Lord, shall I?

“No!”

My Lord, must I?

“Yes!

You must, from this very moment,

Embark

On the God-realisation-journey.”

```

33

```

At God’s Feet

The mind not only survives

But also thrives.

```

345

```

A true devotion-tree

Is bound to produce

Nectar-fruits.

```

APR 3269. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 27 November 2005.↩

35

```

My Lord Supreme,

I need from You

A receptivity-plant

In my heart-garden,

And not a receptivity-implant

Inside my body

From the world-admired doctors.

```

36

```

The moment I conquer

An ignorance-night-thought,

God comes to me immediately

And asks me to join Him

In His triumphant March.

```

37

```

My reading, my talking

And my lecturing

Help me very little

In comparison to

My praying, my meditating

And my self-giving. ```

38

```

God will definitely come to you

And bless you

If you try your utmost

To please Him

To your very last breath.

```

39

```

My life-long mission

Is not in missionising the world,

But in serving the world

So it can climb Heavenward. ```

40

```

God tells each and every God-seeker

To quickly take the nearest seat

To His Heart-Home.

```

416

```

Each moment

I get an opportunity-flower

From the inner world

To offer to my Lord Supreme

In the outer world.

```

APR 3276. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 28 November 2005.↩

42

```

World-attachment

Is

Extremely painful.

```

43

```

God-attachment

Is

Exceedingly blissful.

```

44

```

The earth-founder

Is

My smiling soul.

```

45

```

The Heaven-founder

Is

My crying heart.

```

46

```

The Beyond-founder

Will be my God-aspiration,

God-dedication

And God-manifestation. ```

47

```

The mind, the vital

And the body

Enjoy the gossip-world.

```

48

```

The soul, the heart

And the breath

Enjoy the God-Whisper-world.

```

49

```

God gives purity

The most important part

In His Cosmic Play.

```

50

```

No fear, no doubt,

No suspicion

Can ever dare to touch

My soul-smiles. ```

51

```

Those who know well

The art of forgiveness

Are God’s chosen children.

```

52

```

I call it my surrender-life.

God calls that very thing

His peerless treasure.

```

53

```

God gets tremendous delight

Whenever I do anything

With a sincere heart.

```

54

```

If you are a sincere seeker,

Then your ego

Is now totally obsolete.

```

55

```

If you want to open

God’s Heart-Door,

Surrender

Is the only key. ```

56

```

Time

Does not believe in

A slow pace.

```

57

```

My heart and my soul

At long last

Held a farewell party

For my mind. ```

58

```

A real seeker

Has to treasure time

As if it were all diamond.

```

59

```

My Lord wants me to retrace

The ancient heart-path

And not to follow

The modern mind-path. ```

60

```

My faith in God

Is my only reliable

Life-companion.

```

61

```

My heart is desperate

Only for one thing:

My Lord’s Compassion-flooded Feet.

```

627

```

My heart-tears

Weaken

My Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

APR 3297. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 29 November 2005.↩

63

```

My soul-smiles

Strengthen

My Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

64

```

I always keep wide open

My life-house

And my heart-home.

```

65

```

The seeker may lose

To God’s Eye

But never

To God’s Heart. ```

66

```

My mind has many stories

To tell God,

But God has only one Song

To sing for my mind:

Forgiveness.

```

67

```

Alas,

God’s Shoulders accept

All the problems of humanity,

But I do not want to fulfil

My little life’s little responsibility.

```

68

```

Mother Earth blesses me

With hopes.

Father Heaven blesses me

With promises.

I must fulfil my Parents’

Hopes and promises. ```

69

```

In my aspiration-heart-home,

There is no entry and no exit

For thoughts.

```

70

```

Poor mind!

It has no choice.

It is not allowed to hear

My soul’s voice. ```

71

```

This morning —

I do not know how, why

And wherefrom —

A new joy is emboldening

My heart.

```
