```
My Lord, make meYour happiness-child.
— Chinmoy ```
```
My Supreme Lord, when I dieWill I be able to go to Heaven?
“My child, if you live in your mind-confusion, no.But if you live in your heart-devotion,
Then, definitely, yes.” ```
```
My dear Lord, I have forgotten:Do tell me if You have given me anything
To bring down from Heaven to earth.“My child, I have given you My Vision-Eye
To bring down from Heaven to earth.” ```
```
My dear Lord,What will You give me to carry
From earth to Heaven?“My child, I shall give you
My Manifestation-FeetTo carry from earth to Heaven.”
```
```
My dear Lord, please tell meWhat is ahead of me?
“My child, the BeautyOf My Compassion-Eye.”
And what is behind me?“The assurance
Of My Forgiveness-Heart.” ```
```
Dearer than the dearestTo God’s Heart
Is my heartOf cheerful self-giving.
```
```
I love freedom, I need freedom,My life is all freedom-delight.
I live in my Lord’s Heart-Kingdom.No more darkness, no bondage-night.
```
```
I pray and pray and prayWhen my life needs God.
I meditate, I meditate, I meditateWhen my heart loves God.
```
```
Time immediately disappearsWhen my Lord Beloved Supreme
Appears before me. ```
```
My Supreme, my Supreme, my SupremeYour Victory is my heart’s only dream.
```
```
Sweet, sweeter, sweetest,Pure, purer, purest
Are gratitude-tears. ```
```
My Lord, my only prayer to YouIs this:
Do continue to remainFully in charge of my life.
```
```
Forgiveness is the only real happinessThat lasts.
```
```
“God, give me!”This is a wrong and improper prayer.
“God, take me!”This is the right and proper prayer.
```
```
I love God becauseThat is the only thing worth doing.
```
```
God desires my life to beHis Lotus-Heart-Home.
```
```
God loves to be chasedBy my heart-cries.
```
```
Keep singing, keep singing!God will soon be arriving.
```
```
I have only one mantra:My Master will never desert me.
```
```
I want to worship God,But God wants me to amuse Him.
```
```
Our comedies reachGod’s Mind-Door.
Our tragedies reachGod’s Heart-Room.
```
```
By entertaining,God makes His Heaven-children happy.
```
```
By enlightening,God makes His earth-children happy.
```
```
When we tell God that we love Him only,God, in silence speaks, “A real joke.”
```
```
Humour is my life’sFear and tear-killer.
```
```
God’s sense of humourIs my life’s protection-armour.
```
```
God’s Way is always floodedWith good humour.
```
```
If you do not have a sense of humour,Then God will not choose you
To be in His close company. ```
```
The heart of every real God-seekerIs God-obedience.
```
```
Each seeker isAn unhorizoned dream
Of God’s Vision-Eye. ```
```
My utter desire-failureWas the very beginning
Of my aspiration-success. ```
```
May my heart remain always hungryFor oneness-happiness.
```
```
God Himself proudly beatsMy surrender-victory-drum.
```
```
God’s Vision-Eye is the homeOf all my sweet dreams.
```
```
My heart is a God-madeFlute-melody.
```
```
The heart-flute plays onlyAngel-notes.
```
```
There was a time when my life wasThe music of a drum.
Now my life has becomeThe melody of a flute.
```
```
When my mind salutes God,He immediately plays
His Rhapsody-Flute. ```
```
O my life-flute, dream.O my heart-flute, sing.
O my soul-flute, smile. ```
```
In the morning, I loveGod’s loud organ-waves.
In the evening, I loveGod’s sweet flute-sea.
```
```
It is your fault, and not God’s,That your life-flute is totally mute.
```
```
While He plays on His Flute,My Lord Krishna brings down
His own Divinity’s Summit-PeaceAnd Summit-Bliss.
```
```
Play your eagerness-fluteOn your way to God’s Palace.
```
```
May my heart-flute playThe melody of my gratitude-breath.
```
```
My piano says to my flute,“I am God’s unhorizoned promise.”
My flute says to my piano,“I am God’s secret breath.”
```
```
God drinks and drinks and drinksHis Ecstasy-Flute-Melody.
```
```
My cello is my blazingSun-mind-pride.
My flute is my sailingMoon-heart-ride.
```
```
My esraj is my soul’sZenith-message-height.
My flute is my life-journey’sLight-delight.
```
```
The journey withinBegins with flute-sweetness.
```
```
Your child-like heart has made youGod’s sweetness-flute.
```
```
My heart-fluteIs
My morning prayer. ```
```
Only the aspiring heartPlays the God-Arrival-flute.
```
```
My Lord, You have triedTo wake me up
With Your magic Flute.Alas, You have failed.
```
```
The golden Flute is beckoning you.Do not remain attached to the past.
```
```
My life is my Lord’s Compassion-Fount.I must arrive at His Summit-Mount.
```
```
My heart is brave, supremely brave.No more I am my mind’s bond-slave.
```
```
Keep crying, keep crying,God will soon be descending.
```
```
Keep striving, keep striving,Your life will soon be thriving.
```
```
No more, no more my mind boss.It is all gain, it is all gain, no loss.
```
```
God is ready with you to play.Do not delay, do not delay, do not delay.
```
```
I am a heart-musician.My only goal: God-union.
```
```
Surprise, surprise, surprise!I have won my Lord’s Pride-Prize.
```
```
I love my Lord, I love my Lord.Therefore, I cry and cry.
I need my Lord, I need my Lord.Therefore, I try and try.
```
```
When I am in my heart,I sing Heaven-songs.
When I am in my soul,I write earth-stories.
```
```
My heart thrivesOn my God-love-reminiscences.
```
```
My self-giving lifeIs my Lord’s most favourite story.
```
```
God eagerly waitsFor my heart-book-publication.
```
```
Each divinely inspired thoughtIs
My life’s masterpiece. ```
```
Run, run, run awayFrom the mind’s confines.
```
```
My Lord Beloved invites my heartTo ride on Heaven-high aspiration-waves.
```
```
My heart’s only one dilemma:Justice-Light or Forgiveness-Delight?
```
```
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye appears.My wild desire-hunger-life disappears.
```
```
My self-doubt-blizzard, no more!I am at the Golden Shore.
