Of my three main possessions:

When I say

I have touched God’s Feet —

Not exactly so.

```

5

```

When I say

I have felt God’s Heart —

Not exactly so.

```

6

```

When I say

My past, my present and my future

Are an exact prototype of God —

True, true, absolutely true. ```

7

```

My mind, my vital, my body

And my life

Love success-pomp.

```

8

```

My soul, my heart and I

Love watching

A sleeplessly Heaven-climbing flame.

```

92

```

Each thought is either

A creation-teacher

Or a destruction-ruler.

```

My Lord,

I am sleeplessly hungry

For Your Compassion.

```

My child,

I am breathlessly hungry

For your affection-heart.

```

12

I love God

As much as I possibly can. ```

13

```

God loves me

Infinitely more

Than I can possibly imagine.

```

14

```

Those who do not pray

And meditate

Live in their noisy mind-world.

```

15

```

Those who pray and meditate

Live in the God-imparted

Ecstasy-world.

```

16

Is the strongest power

To expedite

Earth-evolution. ```

Is increasing

Along the passage of time.

Is the birthright

Of each human being.

God-manifestation

Is the birthright

Of each God-realised soul.

```

20

```

Above the head,

There is really nothing special. ```

21

```

Beyond the mind,

Realities are most special. ```

22

```

O seeker,

Shun, immediately shun,

Indifferent-human beings.

```

23

```

At long last

My mind-sky has become

Purer than the purest

And vaster than the vastest. ```

24

```

All excuses

In the spiritual life

Are born of our lower nature.

```

254

The more we unlearn

About the outer world,

The sooner the inner world divinities

Will welcome us.

When I suffer from loneliness,

The peace-moon and bliss-sun

Come down and comfort me.

```

27

```

Peace-talkers

As usual

Are everywhere.

```

28

```

Peace-servers

As usual

Are few and far between.

```

29

```

Peace-givers

Are nowhere to be found. ```

30

```

We are so fortunate

That our hearts do not believe

In limitation-boundaries.

```

31

```

My prayers

Are my

God-satisfaction-revelations.

```

32

```

My meditations

Are my

God-fulfilment-manifestations.

```

33

```

My devotion-heart-flames

Sing only

God-ecstasy-songs.

God’s only representative

On earth

Is our implicit faith.

Is God’s Feet. ```

My second goal

Is God’s Heart. ```

37

```

My ultimate goal

Is my God-oneness

Throughout Eternity.

```

38

```

As problems come back again,

Even so, God’s Compassion

Comes back more powerfully,

Again and again. ```

39

```

I challenge my mind.

My mind ultimately surrenders. ```

40

```

I challenge my heart,

Only to lose —

Of course, happily.

```

41

```

Peace descends

On our earth-departure. ```

42

Bliss inundates

Our Heaven-arrival. ```

My unconditional

Surrender-breath.

God makes me feel

That there is another chance.

Exploits

God’s Compassion.

```

God’s Compassion

Never knows how

To give up.

```

47

```

Divine friendship

Is in the heart —

Not in the eyes,

Not in the voice. ```

48

```

When I am soulful,

I feel God’s Heart. ```

49

```

When I am miserable,

God feels my every sigh. ```

Be happy.

Remain happy.

God never delays.

My Lord Supreme

Takes me seriously

Only after I have offered Him

My soul, my heart, my mind,

My vital, my body and my all.

52

```

My heart is God’s

Panoramic view. ```

53

```

God-unwillingness

Is a great obstacle

To surmount.

```

54

```

My heart’s God-gratitude

Is imperative,

No matter how much

My heart suffers. ```

55

```

Doubt will never have

Any access

To my God-hungry heart.

```

56

```

To think of our own

Past failures

Is the height of our stupidity.

```

57

```

Strive and strive.

Revive your old

God-hunger-cry.

```

58

```

God does not appreciate

Our eleventh-hour prayers. ```

59

```

Only very few

God-seekers and God-lovers

Can see God

As He really and eternally is. ```

```

With aspiration

I begin my journey.

With dedication

I continue.

With surrender

I end my journey

In the core of the Unknowable.

61

```

My Lord,

Who is Your dearest child?

“Everyone is My dearest child.

But, alas, I find it very difficult

To convince them.”

```

62

```

Desire

Quite often ends

At frustration-destination.

```

63

```

Each little progress-step

Is

Extremely valuable.

```

64

```

My heart’s aspiration-flames

At once embody

Terrestrial realities

And celestial realities. ```

65

```

God does not believe

Either in addition

Or in division.

He believes only in union. ```

66

```

The mind-meditation

Lives

In the Sahara desert.

```

67

```

The heart-meditation

Lives

At the top of the Himalayas.

```

689

```

My Lord whispers,

“My child, prostrate.

Do not demonstrate.”

```

APR 4712. These prayers were given in Cha-Am, Thailand — 30 January 2007.↩

69

```

Failure

Cannot eclipse

My heart-sun.

```

70

```

I am truly proud of myself

For having the capacity

To faithfully imitate my Lord.

```

71

```

Prominence-permanence

Is not always God’s Will. ```

72

```

Love

Is worth spreading. ```

73

```

Devotion

Is worth loving. ```

74

```

Surrender

Is worth becoming. ```

75

```

To be among

The God-chosen finalists,

My sleepless faith in God

Is absolutely essential. ```
