Saves me

From my mind’s miserable days

And nights. ```

For God

Do I climb up my life’s

Perfection-tree. ```

In my possession:

God’s Compassion.

Is the perfect key

To open God’s Heart-Door.

```

I tell God,

“No matter how far the journey is,

Do take me with You.”

```

```

Humanity deserves

A final warning

For constant God-disobedience.

```

Every soul

Is an ever-blossoming

Dream of God.

Silence is God’s

Most favourite messenger. ```

Uncover yourself

To discover God. ```

On our knees,

We immediately feel

God’s infinite Love. ```

I, too, want to please

My Lord

Throughout Eternity.

To mingle

In all the tearing sorrows

And beaming joys

Of the world. ```

To do anything

Beyond my capacity. ```

Between two shores:

The known and the Unknown.

I unveil Heaven. ```

My only choice:

God’s earth-lifting

And Heaven-climbing

Voice. ```

36

```

God includes

Each and every human being

In His Cosmic Play.

```

God asks us

Direct questions.

He expects from us

Direct answers. ```

A spiritual Master

Gladly gives himself away,

Although he badly suffers.

```

```

God forgives us,

Not because we deserve

His Forgiveness,

But because He surrenders

To His own Compassion-Heart.

```

Even an iota

Of our God-manifestation

Thrills God.

My Lord, may I be always

In between

Your Infinity’s Peace

And

Your Eternity’s Silence.

The outer beauty

Is the charming beauty

Of a child —

It does not last for long. ```

43

```

The inner beauty

Knows no death. ```

44

```

God has infinite rooms,

But our hearts

Are His favourite rooms.

Always in the company

Of God-Feet-worshipping seekers.

With the rising sun

And run against

The thickening clouds. ```

Is

A fruitful life.

The stars of the sky,

But follow

The sun of your heart.

A totally different

Aspiration-road.

To raise my consciousness

Instead of praising Him

On my knees. ```

That I have come a long way

With Him —

Can I not go to the end? ```

Again and again,

God wants me to be

His brave partner

And not His mild follower.

Can fathom

The secrets of life and death.

```

```

Desire

Is a blazing fire

In the mind.

```

59

```

God’s Way

Is to act and act

And not to sit and wait.

```

60

```

Self-styled gods

Are everywhere, alas! ```

61

```

Life has to be

A God-fulfilling story

And not

Man-imagined history. ```

62

```

The inner oneness

Has to be manifested

As the outer goodness

At least. ```

63

```

I love and treasure

My God-ordained

Soul-authority.

```

648

```

Self-giving

Is by far the best

Among our divine qualities.

```

Every day,

God injects His Compassion

Into my heart-breath.

```

```

My devotion

Is

My God-Sweetness-intoxication.

```

67

```

Each day

God wants me to dream

Of His high, higher, highest Heaven.

```

68

```

Alas, our God-ingratitude-life

Does not allow God

To feed us every day.

```

69

```

When my heart sings,

Even my doubting mind

Enjoys the song.

```

70

```

My Lord enjoys

My surrender-life-moments

Mightily and proudly.

```

71

```

God’s Presence

Embraces my soul.

God’s Presence

Thrills my heart.

God’s Presence

Disentangles my mind.

God’s Presence

Feeds my life. ```

An ideal seeker

Lives

On the God-cradled earth.

```

73

```

Surrender we must

Our earthly possessions

If we really want to receive

Smiles from God. ```

74

```

A desire-mind

And a frustration-life

Together live.

```

75

```

A prayer-pond-diver

I was. ```

76

```

A meditation-river-diver

I now am. ```

77

```

A surrender-sea-diver

I shall become. ```

78

```

Even God finds it difficult

To recognise me

When I deliberately enjoy

My desire-forest-life. ```

79

```

God wants me to remain

At my Himalayan aspiration-height

And not to come down

To my old anthill-height. ```
