My Early Morning Heart-Climbing Prayers

1.

```

Every day

My aspiration-hunger-cries

Give immense delight

To my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

2.

```

This morning

God’s Eye whispers,

“My child,

I would like you

To be perfect.”

God’s Heart thunders,

“My child,

Already you are

Absolutely perfect!”

```

3.

```

In the small hours of the morning,

I come out of my soul-bird-nest

To spread the blue-gold Light

Of my Lord Supreme

Here on earth,

And in the twilight hours

I come back to my soul-bird-nest.

```

4.

```

O undivine mind-major,

Do not torture

The poor heart-minors!

```

5.

```

Give yourself lovingly,

Smilingly and self-givingly

To God.

He will bless you

With a morning

Jasmine-garland. ```

6.

```

Sleepless aspiration for Heaven

And

Breathless dedication to earth

Are the very beginnings

That grow into

A perfect God-realisation-plant. ```

7.

```

Every morning

My Absolute Lord Supreme

Comes down

From His highest Height

With His Heaven-Blossom-Smiles

To bless my God-hunger. ```

8.

```

When my life

Is completely surrendered

To God’s Will,

God Himself cradles

My heart’s moon-beauty-dreams.

```

9.

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Every time I am with You,

My heart becomes

A fully blossomed

Gratitude-lotus.

```

10.

My Supreme,

I wish to become

The ever-blossoming breath

Of a self-giving life.

My Supreme!

11.

Those who really love God

And really need God

Have only one choice:

God’s Transcendental

Vision-Manifestation Here on earth.

12.

```

When I speak to God,

I measure each and every word

Of mine

Very, very carefully.

When God speaks to me,

I treasure each and every Word

Of His

Most devotedly

In the very depths of my heart.

```

13.

```

My Lord,

Every morning

Do give me the capacity

To feed

Your aspiration-hungry children.

“My child,

Capacity granted,

My child!” ```

14.

```

The God-pleasing heart

Reveals its beauty and fragrance

Through the purity-eyes.

```

15.

```

God’s Pride is

The blue-gold bridge

Between my happiness-life

And my gratitude-heart. ```

16.

```

My Lord Supreme,

Right from the day I was born,

My life has been

Your Compassion-Protection-

Abundance-Indulgence.

```

17.

```

My Supreme Lord,

Please, please accept

My heart’s

Ceaseless gratitude-tears. ```

18.

```

Only my life’s

Unconditional surrender

Has a free access

To God’s Heart-Home. ```

19.

```

Slowly and slowly

My earth-life-tree

Grows and grows

To clasp Heaven’s

Twinkling, twinkling stars.

```

20.

```

God the Heart

Is not enough.

We need God the Heartbeat

As well. ```

21.

```

My Lord Supreme,

I carry the messages

Of sweet hopes

And the messages

Of brave promises

From birth to death

And from death to the Beyond.

My Lord Supreme! ```

22.

```

God’s Hour

Comes and goes.

The moment it arrives,

I must say to God,

“My Lord, my Lord,

You are my All,

And I am all Yours,

I am all Yours.”

```

23.

```

My Lord,

On New Year’s Day

You are watching

The blooming New Year

With such Compassion, Concern,

Sweetness and Fondness.

May each and every human being

Place at Your Feet

A garland of gratitude,

Gratitude and gratitude,

My Lord, my Lord,

My Lord Supreme! ```

24.

```

God’s Grace is descending

So powerfully!

God wants us to be

His perfect instruments,

But, alas,

We are still

His constant impediments.

```

25.

```

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord!

Every morning you cradle

My tiny aspiration-heart

And my feeble dedication-life

With Your Compassion-flooded

Fondness-Eye.

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord!

```

26.

```

To my heart’s deepest joy,

Every day, every hour,

In every way

My God-worshipping heart

Is becoming a better instrument

Of God. ```

27.

```

God whispers,

“My child,

I love you, I need you,

I thank you, I thank you.”

God,

I thank You, I thank You,

I thank You.

You are my heart’s

Dream-Boat-Reality-Shore.

```

28.

```

My Lord,

The way I am praying and meditating

Is simply useless.

Will I ever be able

To realise You?

I need God-realisation.

“My child,

Do not think of God-realisation

At this time of your spirituality.

Just try to develop

More sincerity, more eagerness

In your spiritual life.

But, My child,

If you think that you will never

Be able to realise Me,

You are, indeed,

The most perfect fool

Here on earth.” ```

29.

```

My Supreme, my Lord Supreme,

My Beloved Supreme,

My Eternity’s Supreme!

This morning You want us

To enjoy, enjoy and enjoy

The full harvest

Of Your Compassion

And Forgiveness. ```

30.

```

The desiring mind

Has many faces

And many voices.

The aspiring heart

Has only one face:

God-Beauty’s Face,

And only one voice:

God-Duty’s Voice. ```

31.

```

My God-exploration

Is founded upon

My heart’s

God-adoration-beauty-fragrance. ```

32.

```

When I pray

And climb up

High, higher, highest,

God blesses me

With the Beauty of His Heart.

When I meditate

And dive deep, deeper, deepest,

God blesses me

With the Fragrance of His Life.

```

33.

```

Every day

I must do three things:

I must love God,

I must serve God

And I must try to become

A choice instrument of God. ```

34.

```

Every morning

I prayerfully and soulfully visit

Two very special worlds:

God’s Compassion-Eye-World

And God’s Forgiveness-Heart-World.

```

35.

```

My heart’s silver tears

Are God’s oldest friends.

God’s golden Smiles

Are my life’s eternal Saviours. ```

36.

```

Behold!

Yonder my Lord Krishna’s

Jingling ankle bells

Are thrilling my eyes,

Intoxicating my heartbeat,

Feeding my heart

And energising my life.

My Lord Krishna, my Lord Krishna! ```

37.

```

No more am I a failure-life,

No more.

My mind is now the owner

Of many, many, many

New inspiration-waves.

My heart is the owner

Of a new aspiration-sea.

My life is the owner

Of an ever-blossoming

Gratitude-garden,

Which I am dedicating now

To my Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

38.

```

O seeker,

You can miss your outer meals

As many times as you want to.

But do not miss

Even one single inner meal.

Why?

Because God Himself

Waits and waits and waits for you

To come and eat with Him.

```

39.

```

My Lord-worship-happiness-heart

Is blossoming into

My God-Ecstasy-Paradise.

```

40.

```

God most compassionately

And most affectionately

Picks up

The God-surrender-seekers

Who fail and fall on the way,

And then He commands,

“My children,

On you march,

Until you have reached

Your Goal ultimate.”

```

41.

```

God’s God-Prize-winners

Of today’s inner race:

The first prize goes to

Unconditional God-surrender;

The second prize goes to

Sleepless God-aspiration;

The third prize goes to

Twenty-four-hour God-awareness. ```

42.

```

If you want to have

A very deep meditation,

Then before you meditate,

Cast aside all your doubts,

Self-doubts, insecurities,

Impurities and negativities. ```

43.

```

Limited are our lives.

Unlimited are our problems

And struggles.

Yet our Lord says to us,

“My children, fear not.

Move on, march on.

I am with you all.

I am in you all.

I am for you all.

You are bound to arrive

At your destined Goal.”

```

44.

```

Each time

I prayerfully, soulfully

And self-givingly visit

My Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme,

He immediately gets

The most powerful Ecstasy-Thrill. ```

45.

```

God says to me,

“My child,

If you really love Me,

If you really want to please Me

In My own Way,

Then you and your heart

Must come to Me lovingly,

Smilingly, soulfully and self-givingly

Wherever I am.”

```

46.

```

I must forget

My puny self

Totally

In my God-service-delight. ```

47.

```

In my heart-sky,

Many, many, many, many

Twinkling stars

Are singing

My Lord’s Victory-Songs.

```

48.

```

Nobody can claim my heart

On earth.

Why?

Because my Lord Beloved Supreme

Has already claimed me

In Heaven. ```

49.

```

My Lord Absolute Beloved Supreme,

Each moment I spend with You

Is my life’s and my heart’s

Most precious Treasure. ```

50.

```

My soul-smiles and my heart-tears

Solely depend upon

The depths and heights

Of my meditations. ```

51.

```

God’s divine Hall of Fame

Will invite us

Only after we have learnt

The supreme art

Of sleepless self-offering

To God’s Will. ```

52.

```

A sleepless God-lover

Is a climbing heart-eagerness.

A breathless God-server

Is a jumping life-enthusiasm. ```

53.

May my aspiration-heart-bird fly

High, higher, highest,

To reach the Golden Feet

Of my Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme

In the highest Heaven.

54.

```

May each thought of mine

Grow into

A most beautiful aspiration-plant

In my Lord’s Heart-Garden. ```

55.

```

Each time I become

A heart of God-gratitude,

I come one step closer

To God’s Feet. ```

56.

```

Ignorance-night fails.

My love of God sails.

My surrender to God’s Will prevails.

```

57.

```

May each and every thought of mine

Be as beautiful

As the morning rainbow

And as pure

As the dawn-dew.

```

58.

```

May every heartbeat of mine

Fight against ignorance-night

And conquer it permanently,

For the establishment

Of God’s complete Victory

Here on Earth. ```
