If You Are Born in the Sea of Hope

```

If you are born

In the sea of hope,

You can fly

In the sky of promise.

```

How Sweet Is the Breath

```

How sweet is the breath

Of the flower.

How illumining is the sacrifice

Of the fragrance.

```

Alas, Perfection Has No Entry Visa

```

Alas, perfection

Has no entry visa

To this world of chaos. ```

God Is Always Available

```

God is always available,

But, alas, will you ever have time

To visit Him? ```

I Am Progressing

I am progressing fast, faster, fastest,

Only because I pray and sing

Inside the God-obedience-temple. ```

No Honest God-Service

No honest God-service

Will ever cause a deplorable loss

In the life of a seeker. ```

When Our Surrender Is Complete

When our surrender is complete,

We will be able to breathe in and out

God’s Golden Breath. ```

O God-Obedience-Heart of Man

```

O God-obedience-heart of man,

Do spread your satisfaction-wings

All-where. ```

My Mind-Book

```

My mind-book nobody wants to read.

I do not blame them,

For I know how worthless and useless

My mind-book is.

```

My Faith in God (1)

```

My faith in God

Receives nourishment directly,

Not from anybody else,

But from God Himself.

```

O My Vital, I Do Not Like Competition

O my vital,

I do not like competition.

O my mind,

I do not like comparison.

O my heart,

I love your way,

The way of oneness-joy. ```

My Disobedience

```

My disobedience does not have

A heart.

My disobedience does not have even

A mind.

My disobedience has only

A ruthless and useless vital.

```

May Every Second of My Aspiration

```

May every second of my aspiration

Hold a place of special importance

In my own God-loving inner life. ```

He Who Fails to Fathom

He who fails to fathom

The significance of God-obedience

Will never be truly happy. ```

Each Time My Meditation Is Deep

```

Each time my meditation is deep,

God blesses me with a full harvest

Of God-manifestation-opportunities. ```

When I See Myself

```

When I see myself through my own eyes,

I see and feel that my life is not

An inch better than the life of a beast.

When I see myself through God’s Eye,

I see and feel that I am

On the fair road to Godhood.

```

God Is Always Ready

```

God is always ready

With His Praise for you.

When will you be ready

With your divine receptivity?

My very desire

To make progress

Is the first step

Of my progress.

```

Eagerness Gives Us the Wings

Eagerness gives us the wings

To fly in the sky of freedom.

```

My Gratitude-Heart Is Precisely the Place

```

My gratitude-heart

Is precisely the place

Where angels dwell. ```

God Answers My Prayers

```

God answers my prayers

Only when He sees

That I shall not misuse

His Answer.

```

In the Inner World, There Is a Secret Name

```

In the inner world,

There is a secret name

For expectation,

And that secret name

Is demand. ```

A God-Oneness-Heart

```

A God-oneness-heart

Can never be deceived.

It can only be amused. ```

Every Morning God Invites Me

```

Every morning God invites me

To visit His Compassion-Home.

But I cherish my own frustration-home;

Therefore, I do not accept His Invitation.

```
