Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 10

901.

```

Every soul from ant to angel

Carries only one essential message:

God's sleepless and breathless Victory.

```

902.

```

God's Compassion

Is always hungry

For our heart-tears.

```

903.

```

The love which seeks

No reward

Is God's peerless Pride.

```

904.

```

My aspiration-empty mind

Is ruthlessly shackled

By the iron chain of world-desires.

```

905.

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To enjoy the fragrance

Of my sleepless surrender-life. ```

906.

```

There is only one ultimate solution:

Love God the Creator

And serve God the creation.

```

907.

```

The bliss of the heart

And the pleasure of the mind

Are not at all the same thing.

They are like North Pole and South Pole. ```

908.

```

May my heart's aspiration-cry

Make friends

With sleepless nights.

```

909.

```

Each time I have a deep meditation,

I free myself

From earthly attachment-pains.

```

910.

```

My soul's

Favourite instrument

Is my heart-violin.

```

911.

```

I do not need

A freedom-loving soul.

What I need is

A peace-blossoming heart. ```

912.

```

A truth-seeker's only concern

Is his constant

God-satisfaction.

```

913.

```

Love

Self-giving and unconditional

Is the only love

That God proudly treasures. ```

914.

```

God's Compassion-Eye

Embodies God's all-loving

And all-fulfilling Smile.

```

915.

```

No thrill is as illumining

And as fulfilling

As one's own self-transcendence-thrill.

```

916.

```

When a seeker's life

Becomes empty of hope,

His heart's God-realisation-cry ends.

```

917.

```

I do not want to be

An independent mind.

I want to be

A God-dependent child. ```

918.

```

Two friends

Who consciously and proudly love each other:

Desire and bondage.

```

919.

```

A perfection-life

Is indeed living

A philosophy of the Beyond.

```

920.

```

If you do not have a searching mind

And a crying heart,

Then your life will be shrouded

In veils of illusion and delusion. ```

921.

```

God's Heart

And God's Heart-School

Are open

To all and sundry. ```

922.

```

My heart's God-longing tree

Must grow high and wide

At every moment.

```

923.

```

A satisfaction-heart

Belongs equally

To both Heaven and earth.

```

924.

```

My enthusiasm-mind

Must become once more young

To sing and dance with God's

All-illumining and all-fulfilling Heart. ```

925.

```

How can a God-willingness-heart

Be empty

Of God-manifestation-strength?

No, it is impossible. ```

926.

```

Today I will make a huge effort

To unite my inner-world smiles

And my outer-world tears.

```

927.

```

My self-effacement

Is another name

For my God-enlightenment.

```

928.

```

My mind's

Misunderstanding-nightmare

Has shaken my world

To its foundations. ```

929.

```

I assure my aspiration-heart

That there can never be any shortage

Of God-Peace-supplies.

```

930.

```

Heart's gratitude

And life's surrender

Are two infrequently trodden paths.

```

931.

```

God's Compassion-Eye

Enjoys its authority

Over God's Justice-Hand.

```

932.

```

A surrender-heart

Completes the Heaven-climbing journey

In half the usual time.

```

933.

```

The heart is always

A promise-fulfilling God-satisfaction-student

In life's aspiration-dedication-school.

```

934.

```

An unconditional surrender-life

Is always blessed with a plethora

Of God-manifestation-opportunities.

```

935.

```

Long before God's choicest Son,

Peace,

Arrives for good in the earth-arena,

The unwillingness of the mind must resign

On the grounds of old age and incapacity.

```

936.

```

I do not blame anybody on earth

For not enjoying

The frightening anecdotes

Of my doubting mind. ```

937.

```

God commands my heart

Not to take any service

From my God-displeasing mind.

```

938.

```

God lovingly and proudly

Takes my surrender-heart

Into His Confidence-Delight.

```

939.

```

Is there any human mind

That is not a victim-slave

Of expectation-master?

```

940.

```

There was a time

When I was a great friend

Of my doubt-specialist-mind.

Now I am proud to be

The most intimate friend

Of my faith-specialist-heart. ```

941.

```

O my mind,

When are you going to stop gathering

Dangerous world-gossip-thorns?

```

942.

```

The heart of Mother-Earth

Lives always in anticipation

Of the arrival of God's

Peace-Infinity. ```

943.

```

My heart's gratitude

Must pervade each and every aspect

Of my life.

```

944.

```

Like my soul,

My heart also accepts God's Will

As eternally indisputable.

```

945.

```

God's Compassion-Eye

And God's Perfection-Life

Are not different.

They are one and the same. ```

946.

```

In the spiritual life

The obedience of a oneness-heart

Is of supreme importance.

```

947.

```

My heart's mounting cries

Have gladdened God's Heart

Far beyond my mind's

Imagination-flight. ```

948.

```

God's Justice-Hand

Can abandon my disobedience-mind,

But not God's Compassion-Eye —

Never! ```

949.

```

My heart's sleepless

God-satisfaction-cry

Has liberated me from my mind's

Earthbound fear. ```

950.

```

The beauty and fragrance

Of an aspiration-heart

Far surpasses all.

```

951.

```

O my doubting mind,

No matter how many times you criticise

My ever-blossoming heart,

You cannot decrease the beauty and fragrance

Of my heart-flower.

```

952.

```

O insecurity,

O jealousy,

O impurity,

I am determined

To conquer you all

Before I make

My final God-satisfaction-journey.

```

953.

```

O my complete God-surrender-heart,

Your perfect perfection-life

Is within your easy reach.

```

954.

```

God and God's Compassion-Eye

Have entered into my mind-poison

To transform my mind-poison

Into God's own Heart-Nectar. ```

955.

```

The path of the surrender-heart

Is always the right path

For each and every aspiring soul.

```

956.

```

God and Heaven have chosen this day

To bless my life

With the beauty and fragrance

Of an unconditionally surrendered breath. ```

957.

```

God was, God is

And God will forever remain

The loving Companion

Of my heart's soaring hopes. ```

958.

```

My peace-loving heart-book

God has read many times

From cover to cover.

```

959.

```

My God-manifestation-task

Has been assigned

By the Absolute Lord Himself.

```

960.

```

When ignorance begins

To talk about the truth,

Run away as fast as possible!

```

961.

```

Gratitude and surrender

Are two transient visitors

To this earth-planet.

```

962.

```

It seems that God

Will never be tired of praising

My aspiration-heart

And my surrender-life. ```

963.

```

As it is simply impossible

For my heart not to meditate,

Even so is it impossible for God

Not to forgive. ```

964.

```

When my mind

Wants to tell God a few stories,

God says that He has no time.

When my heart

Wants to sing its heart-songs,

God immediately listens

With rapt attention.

```

965.

```

God drove His Compassion-Heart-Car

At full speed

To save my aspiring heart

From my doubting mind. ```

966.

```

When my heart's hope-buds

Begin to flower,

My life will be blessed

With unfathomable happiness. ```

967.

```

My heart's failure-cries

God's Ears may not hear,

But His Heart will definitely hear.

```

968.

```

Neither God nor I

Shall ever mourn the loss

Of my mind's ignorance-night.

```

969.

```

When I live in my mind,

I want God's Presence here and now

Only for me.

When I live in my heart,

I want God's Presence

Not only here, but also there and everywhere,

And for all.

```

970.

```

If you consider yourself to be

A supremely chosen child of God,

Then you must keep all your God-secrets

As your most precious possessions. ```

971.

```

Yesterday I was

A God-inspiration-mind.

Today I am

A God-aspiration-heart.

Tomorrow I shall be

A God-dedication-life.

The day after tomorrow I shall be

A God-manifestation-breath. ```

972.

```

O my heart, be careful.

The suspicion-mind's darkness

Can easily eclipse

Your aspiration-sun. ```

973.

```

Let the sorrow

Of your purity-heart

Be the source

Of your progress-delight. ```

974.

```

I am so proud of my mind

Because it no longer cherishes

Any desires.

```

975.

```

This is no empty boast:

God has given me the capacity

To sit at His Forgiveness-Feet.

I shall prove it by my actions. ```

976.

```

Unconditional surrender

Earns instant recognition

From the Lord Supreme.

```

977.

```

My suspicion-mind

And my aggression-vital

Both are hurled into the very abyss

By my Heaven-climbing aspiration-heart. ```

978.

```

Poor God!

He never thought

His Compassion-Heart-Telephone

Would ring incessantly. ```

979.

```

Only a pure and self-giving heart

Can hear God-Melodies

From God Himself.

```

980.

```

Each time

My aspiration-heart breathes,

It breathes in

God's Love-Fragrance. ```

981.

```

The meditation of the soul

Can synthesise and harmonise

The mind and the heart.

```

982.

```

When I pray to God

For His own Victory,

He blesses me with a beauty-garland

Of divine fragrance. ```

983.

```

A mind devoid of doubt

Is God's next-door neighbour.

A heart full of faith

Is a member of God's immediate Family. ```

984.

```

He who listens

To the earthbound mind

Will never be invited to participate

In God's Cosmic Game. ```

985.

```

My Lord,

You can blame me,

You can sue me,

But please, please

Do not forget to use me.

```

986.

```

If your heart telephones God,

His Line will never give your heart

A busy signal.

```

987.

```

Day in and day out

I pray to my Lord Supreme

For the collapse of my mind's

Unfounded authority. ```

988.

```

A self-serving seeker

Is indeed an utter failure

In the world of aspiration.

```

989.

```

Those who do not believe in fate

Will sooner or later find

That their fate is inescapable.

```

990.

```

When I live in my God-doubting mind,

I fail to possess

Even a glimmer of sweetness-hope.

```

991.

```

May my heart

Sleeplessly and breathlessly be bound

To my Lord Supreme's Compassion-Feet.

```

992.

```

My heart-room's light

Shines constantly

For the transformation of my mind.

```

993.

```

Not anything else

But God's Compassion-Magnet-Eye

Has drawn me close, closer, closest

To Him. ```

994.

```

O my mind,

Make your speech egoless.

Then everyone

Will appreciate, admire and adore you. ```

995.

```

Each soul

Is born to illumine.

Each heart

Is born to love.

Each mind

Is born to search.

Each life

Is born to serve. ```

996.

```

My mind wants to become

A miracle-monger.

My heart wants to become

A God-dreamer,

A God-lover

And a God-achiever. ```

997.

```

God has bound my heart

Not with His omnipotent Power

But with His omnipresent Love.

```

998.

```

O my mind,

Can you not see that you have become

The shocking betrayal

Of your God-manifestation-promise

On earth?

```

999.

```

My heart's willingness

Shall always be equal

To any world-assignment.

```

1000.

```

God deeply loves my gratitude-heart,

But He loves

My cheerfully unconditional surrender-life

Infinitely more. ```
