```
I must never give up.God loves me.
God needs me.God will make me another God!
```
```
When I offer GodMy heart-gratitude-breath,
He immediately leads meTo my fastest progress-elevator.
```
```
If you fly the gratitude-plane,God will meet you
At His Satisfaction-Airport. ```
```
Alas, when will my mind-train stop?When will my heart-plane fly?
```
```
Because of my life’sNew surrender to God,
God has given meHis Heart’s new address.
```
```
God is searching for a new cryIn my heart-cave.
I am longing for a new SmileIn God’s Vision-Eye.
```
```
How can you fail GodWhen He Himself wants you
To be a passengerIn His Heart-Boat?
```
```
Because I love God unconditionallyGod has given me His golden Boat.
Because I serve man unconditionallyGod has given me His silver Sails.
```
```
God is always eager and anxiousTo trade His Compassion-Sun
For a prayer-flame of mine. ```
```
If you send your heart-letter to GodWith insufficient faith-postage,
How do you expect itTo reach God’s Home?
```
```
O my uncooperative mind,What you need from my Lord
Is a powerful KickAnd not a blessingful Touch
For your illumination. ```
```
My Lord, I cannot separateYour Heart of Tears
From Your Eye of Scoldings.To me, they are absolutely the same.
```
```
Doctors call itAn emergency room.
I call itGod’s Compassion-Exercise Room.
```
```
If you want to becomeA world-class seeker,
Then you must take a courseAt God’s Compassion-University.
```
```
My heart’s cryingIs my life’s sacred hunger.
My soul’s soaringIs my Lord’s secret Meal.
```
```
“My child, My child,Do not disappoint Me;
Do not fail Me!If you disappoint Me,
If you fail Me,Then I shall lose
A very precious DreamOf My ever-transcending Vision-Eye.”
```
```
Today’s headline:My heart has made
Its unconditional surrenderTo God’s Will.
Tomorrow’s footnote:My mind is all ready
To welcome God soulfully. ```
```
A prayer-mountain:This is what my mind urgently needs.
A meditation-fountain:This is what my heart sleeplessly needs.
```
```
When you are your heart’sDiamond-calmness,
God becomes His thousand SmilesAnd million Dances.
```
```
Every morning my Beloved SupremeBegs me to touch His Smiles.
Every evening my Lord SupremeCommands me to wipe His Tears.
```
```
My mind is satisfiedBeing God’s tortoise.
My heart is satisfiedBeing God’s deer.
My soul is satisfiedBeing God’s lion.
And I am satisfied,Completely satisfied,
Being God’s lamb. ```
```
There can be no dead end,Not to speak of U-turn,
For a genuine seeker-travellerOf the Absolute Supreme.
```
```
Do not be sadTo see your mind’s sunset.
Behold the perfection-splendourOf your heart’s sunrise!
```
```
On your mark, get set, go!In pindrop silence,
God’s Eagerness-HeartIs waiting for you
At the finish line. ```
```
God’s Illumination-BuildingDoes not believe
In having a conference room. ```
```
My Lord Supreme,What will happen
If I obey You unconditionally?“My child,
Your entire life will be floodedWith My Heart’s sweetest Intimacy.”
```
```
Quench my thirst, my Lord,I wish to come and sit at Your Feet.
“Quench My Thirst, My child,I wish you to keep your heart-door
Wide open all the timeFor Me, only for Me.”
```
```
The favourite dessertOf my Beloved Supreme
Has always beenMy satisfaction-smile.
```
```
A seeker’s humility-heartKnows how to become
The Smile of God. ```
```
My Beloved Supreme,I shall gladly allow You
To steal my heartOnly on one condition:
That You do not return it! ```
```
In my letter to GodI send only one short message:
“My Lord, I love You only.”God immediately sends me
An express telegram:“I am coming!
I need you badly!” ```
```
God’s Compassion-SmileIs the matchless salary
Of a God-employee. ```
```
Dear to my LordIs my aspiration-heart.
Dearer to my LordIs my surrender-life.
Dearest to my LordIs my gratitude-breath.
```
```
Do you want to hearWhat you say during your sleep?
You say that you love God aloneAnd need God alone, nobody else.
```
```
Each sincere God-loverIs the beauty of a new dream
In God’s Vision-Eye. ```
```
God’s Compassion-Eye is countingYour aspiration-mileage
And granting youHis Heart’s Satisfaction-Prize.
```
```
Once I lost my mind’s dark night,I never found it again.
Once I found my heart’s aspiration-day,I never lost it again.
```
```
Every day you must askYour Realisation-Master
About the results of yourAspiration-examination.
```
```
Two supremely great competitors:My surrender-life
And my gratitude-heart.Even God finds it difficult to declare
Who the winner is. ```
```
When is God’s Birthday?God’s Birthday is when
Man completely becomesHis surrender-life
And soulfully becomesHis gratitude-heart.
```
```
It seems to meThat my aspiration-days
Are now nothing otherThan my buried treasure.
```
```
Do you want to increaseYour aspiration-capacity?
If so, then tirelessly lookAt God’s Compassion-Eye.
```
```
How can you ever approach GodIf you ignore the reproach of your soul
When you make Himalayan blunders? ```
```
God criesWhen I tell Him a lie.
God smiles and smilesWhen I deliberately try
To fool Him. ```
```
Do not lock, but unlockAnd keep unlocked,
Your heart’s enthusiasm-door. ```
```
When you have enthusiasmGod comes first in your life.
```
```
What I need every dayTo please my Lord Supreme
Is a whisper-sweet prayer-cry. ```
```
I am asking GodTo forgive me.
God is asking meTo receive Him.
```
```
Every day I writeA new page
In my life’sAspiration-book.
```
```
Each gratitude-heartIs a magnet
That pulls inGod’s sacred and secret Smiles.
```
```
Will You wait for me,My Lord?
“Will you cry for Me,My child?”
```
```
Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants:Indeed, the distance is too long.
But my Beloved Lord SupremeSays to me, “My child, the distance is too short.
In top secrecy I am telling you:I shall walk with you all the way.”
