My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 41

11

```

I can and I must learn

How to live a perfect life

Inside my Lord’s Heart.

```

APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 30 November 2005.

2

```

The fresh morning dew

Awakens

My sleeping aspiration-heart.

```

3

```

God wants only one thing

From me:

A ceaseless and breathless

God-aspiration-heart. ```

4

```

At a distance

I imagine God’s Feet

Until the day arrives

When I can place myself

At God’s Feet.

```

5

```

God wants me to please Him

In a prayerful and soulful way,

And not in an astounding way.

```

6

```

God’s Compassion-Rain

Falls

To enthral my heart.

```

7

```

No mind-ignorance

Can stop

My Heaven-climbing

Journey’s start. ```

8

```

A happy heart

Is

A God-given capacity

To spread God’s Light

Freely and ceaselessly.

```

9

```

This time when God sends away

My ignorance-pride,

I shall definitely not

Bring it back. ```

10

```

I pray and meditate

Inside my heart’s

Sweetness-devotion-moon.

```

112

```

God wants my peace, my love,

My joy and my self-giving life

For the universal benefit.

```

APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 1 December 2005.

12

```

In the morning

I devour the sun-flames

To make the fastest progress

In my spiritual life. ```

13

```

In the evening

I devour the moon-beams

To make the fastest progress

In my spiritual life. ```

14

```

Not God’s infinite Power

But God’s Compassion-Tears

Have transformed my life.

```

15

```

God’s Compassion-Smiles

Are keeping me

In the world of abundant bliss.

```

16

```

God wants all the aspiring hearts

Around the world

To be united in the inner world.

```

17

```

May the world I live in

Have only newness,

Oneness and fulness.

```

18

```

What my body, vital,

Mind and heart need

Is the life of spirituality.

```

19

```

God wants His Compassion

And my aspiration

To spread out

Here, there and everywhere. ```

20

```

Only in deep meditation

Does my aspiration-sun rise high,

Very high, unimaginably high.

```

21

```

I love to sit devotedly

At the Feet

Of God the One.

```

22

```

I love to follow eagerly

In the Footsteps

Of God the Many.

```

23

```

I love to be constantly blessed

By God the Universal. ```

24

```

All my heart-tears

And all my soul-smiles

I sleeplessly dedicate

To God the Universal. ```

253

```

O my heart,

I want you to be the nest

Of my aspiration-bird.

```

APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 2 December 2005.

26

```

My Lord,

Do give me a heart

That will not find any difficulty

In remembering You

All the time.

```

27

```

Do not shake hands

With ignorance-night!

Use your third eye

To destroy its exorbitant pride. ```

28

```

When Light leads us,

Power helps us

And never stands

In Light’s way. ```

29

```

Each heart

Is

An aspiration-mountain.

```

30

```

Each life

Is

A dedication-fountain.

```

31

```

The mind that instigates me

To make a serious blunder

Is the same mind

That later on blames me. ```

32

```

God enters

Into my heart

On tiptoe.

```

33

```

I enter

Into God’s Heart

Striking a thunder-drum.

```

34

```

The world may forget

My face one day,

But it will never forget

My heart. ```

354

```

Silence, silence, silence!

Silence was born

Before the Birth

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```


APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 3 December 2005.

36

```

Each earth-born seeker

Will one day be caught

By the Cosmic Embrace

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

37

```

O seeker,

Be always careful!

Carelessness is a serious

And contagious disease

In the spiritual life.

```

38

```

I rise from my invisible heart

To my visible eye

To be of service

To mankind. ```

39

```

This morning

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Was most compassionately

Watching me

While I was bathing in His Sea

Of infinite Peace and Bliss. ```

40

```

A moment

To see,

But a lifetime

To become! ```

41

```

Every morning

I most prayerfully and soulfully

Offer my Lord

My heart’s aspiration-beauty-blossoms. ```

42

```

The seekers must every day

Practise one thing faithfully:

Self-sacrifice.

```

43

```

Every child-heart

Radiates

The Beauty of the Unknowable.

```

44

```

There is only one reality:

God’s birthless and deathless

Compassion-Eye-Revelation.

```

455

```

With kindness

We start.

With oneness

We stop.

```


APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 4 December 2005.

46

```

Be a self-giving life.

God Himself

Will sculpture you.

```

47

```

I never care for

A hermit-cave. ```

48

```

I only care for

A seeker’s prayerful cottage. ```

49

```

May my heart be a nest

Of self-giving

Affection-sweetness.

```

50

```

God wants me to have

Compassion-plants

In my heart-garden

More than anything else. ```

51

```

What do I need?

I desperately need

A more self-giving life.

```

52

```

What else do I need?

I sleeplessly need

A little more Heaven-climbing heart.

```

53

```

Each and every hope

Of the aspiration-heart

Will one day fully blossom.

```

54

```

My heart

Is an earth-born hope,

And my soul

Is a Heaven-born promise. ```

556

```

Always more God,

Infinitely more God

Than the human beings!

```

APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 5 December 2005.

56

```

Keep quiet,

My mind and my vital!

Our Lord is speaking.

```

57

```

My earthly life

Counts

My earthly years.

```

58

```

My Heavenly soul

Counts

My Heavenly hours.

```

59

```

Who can count

Earth’s gratitude-tears

And Heaven’s sunburst-smiles,

Who can? ```

60

```

The mind should know

That disobedience is not

A simple headache

But infinitely more painful

Than a migraine.

```

61

```

Do not allow sorrow

To shadow your path. ```

62

```

Alas,

So late, so late —

I have just started

My God-manifestation-service! ```

63

```

At long last

Today I am enjoying

The expiration

Of my desire-world. ```

647

```

My way:

I love

Human beings

Every day less and less.

```


APR 3307. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 6 December 2005.

65

```

God’s Way:

God loves

Not only human beings

But His entire Creation

Every day more and more.

```

66

```

As soon as I wake up,

I watch my Lord’s Channel first. ```

67

```

The second thing that I do:

I take love-devotion-surrender

Exercises.

```

68

```

The mind

Is the most

Unreliable companion.

```

69

```

Doubt

Is the most powerful tyrant

Here on earth.

```

70

```

The ancient path

Was to see God

Face to face.

```

71

```

The modern path

Is to debate voraciously

About religion and scripture.

What a stupid path! ```

72

```

This morning

God’s Compassion-Eye

Wiped away the sad differences

Between my heart-approach

And my mind-approach

To God-realisation. ```

73

```

The mind’s way

Is to possess God. ```

74

```

The heart’s way

Is to be possessed by God. ```

75

```

My soul has banished

Doubt and suspicion,

Jealousy and insecurity

From my heart-kingdom. ```
