Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 3

201.

```

Only our heart's surrender-joy

Feeds God's burning Hunger

For our nature's complete transformation.

```

202.

```

I am supremely blessed

With tears that flow

Towards God's Compassion-Sea.

```

203.

```

Not the dictatorship of the mind

But the oneness of the heart

Will conquer

The life of the world. ```

204.

```

Every morning

God blessingfully

And self-givingly

Winds my life-clock. ```

205.

```

O my mind,

Listen carefully with rapt attention

To what my Lord has to say

About you. ```

206.

```

Each time I meditate,

I try to become a fulness-wave

Of my soul's silence-peace-sea.

```

207.

```

If a seeker is divinely and supremely sincere,

Then he can easily develop the fastest speed

In his life's progress-race.

```

208.

```

A powerful meditation

Can easily clear

The mind's thought-jungle.

```

209.

```

My heart's gratitude cherishes

God's Heart's Forgiveness

Infinitely more than anything else.

```

210.

```

When you are in the doubting mind,

It is impossible to choose anything.

When you are in the aspiring heart,

It is so easy to choose the right thing. ```

211.

```

As there are a thousand seekers,

Even so there are a thousand paths.

But the seeker in me loves only the path

Of my constantly sleepless God-loving breath. ```

212.

```

The mind made of curiosity

Feels no real need

For God-sublimity.

```

213.

```

Yesterday

God passed His Peace-Book to me

And asked me to read it

Page by page,

Lovingly, devotedly and self-givingly,

To humanity. ```

214.

```

Alas, I have come to realise

At long last

That my mind's disobedience

Is nothing other than

A haunting, challenging

And devastating nightmare. ```

215.

```

Only those especially invited by God

Can enjoy

God's Ecstasy-Heart-Delight.

```

216.

```

God's Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Always play together

With carefree abandon. ```

217.

```

O my determination

To realise God,

Be as firm as the backbone

Of Mother-Earth. ```

218.

```

Each human heart is uniquely gifted

To love God's Heart

And to serve God's Life

In God's own Way. ```

219.

```

Eternity's peace-silence

And Infinity's peace-silence

Have come from a very great distance.

I must welcome them

Happily, proudly and self-givingly.

```

220.

```

God never likes

My dedication-maximum-speech,

But He dearly loves

My aspiration-maximum-silence. ```

221.

```

In spite of all opposition,

I am determined to arrive

At my God-Destination

In this very life. ```

222.

```

God arrived just in time,

When I was about to give up

My God-satisfaction-hope.

```

223.

```

I shall no more allow my mind

To tyrannise and dictate to

My snow-white heart.

```

224.

```

In the early days

Of life on earth,

Simplicity and sincerity-blossoms

Were found everywhere. ```

225.

```

God's Duty

Is to warn me

When I am about to make

A Himalayan blunder.

My duty

Is to do the divine thing

And become the perfect person.

```

226.

```

God always steps forward

To blessingfully assist me.

But alas, my stupidity-mind

Prevents me

From accepting His Assistance.

```

227.

```

Alas, alas, the disobedience

Of the unaspiring and haughty mind

Has enslaved the entire world.

```

228.

```

Because you fear

The result of failure,

You miss the joy of life

Unnecessarily and untimely. ```

229.

```

Each and every human doubt

Will tumble down

To its own living hell-torture

At God's choice Hour. ```

230.

```

God's Peace is sleeplessly

Sending out invitations,

But alas,

Only a few God-loving souls

Accept.

```

231.

```

The time for introspection

For each human mind

Has already arrived.

```

232.

```

As the human mind

Compels us to sink,

Even so the divine heart

Helps us to rise

Towards Infinity's Height.

```

233.

```

Alas, when will I be

Ashamed of my inconsiderateness?

Can I not see my Boatman

So eagerly waiting for me? ```

234.

```

We have to surmount

Each and every temptation-test in life

Before we realise God.

```

235.

```

The mind sleeplessly and shamelessly

Cherishes its own importance.

The heart breathlessly and self-givingly

Cherishes its own oneness. ```

236.

```

God tells me

That He has always had

A very special Fondness

For my heart's

Small and humble way

Of pleasing Him. ```

237.

```

In the outer world

There is always an employment crisis.

In the inner world

There is always employment opportunity. ```

238.

```

The door of silence-peace

Will always remain open

To my heart's

Prayerful and cheerful approach. ```

239.

```

A genuine aspiration-heart

Learns God's Oneness-Language well

With no difficulty.

```

240.

```

A God-surrender-heart

Has the capacity

To run the fastest

In every field. ```

241.

```

What the world needs

Is an incorruptible mind

And an unswerving heart

To run the fastest

In the God-realisation-race.

```

242.

```

God sees the unspoken question

In my eyes and says,

"You will realise Me

Long before your expectation." ```

243.

```

My mind wants to become

A peace-ambassador.

My heart wants to become

A peace-student.

My life wants to become

A peace-servant. ```

244.

```

I do not like God.

I do not need God.

These are the two

Oldest and saddest blunders

Of humanity.

```

245.

```

Until peace becomes

A part of our existence,

We shall never be able

To claim satisfaction

As our own, very own.

```

246.

```

My mind cherishes stupidity

Unconsciously.

My heart cherishes sincerity

Consciously.

My soul cherishes divinity

Sleeplessly. ```

247.

```

If we do not set foot

Upon spirituality's path,

Then God-realisation-attainment

Will remain a far cry. ```

248.

```

The transformation of life

Takes place far, far beyond

The mind's territories.

```

249.

```

My mind has all warlike intentions

To conquer the world.

My heart has only one intention:

World-peace-oneness-love. ```

250.

```

God finds it a big joke

When I tell Him

That I shall not make any more attempts

To please Him. ```

251.

```

One question returns again and again

To the mind:

"Does God really love me?"

```

252.

```

Sweeter than the sweetest

Is the voice of obedience.

Shriller than the shrillest

Is the voice of disobedience. ```

253.

```

God asks us never to take

Our ignorance-cherishing mind

Seriously.

```

254.

```

Our soul inspires us

To embark upon

A daring God-research project.

```

255.

```

To long for God-realisation

Is to have a special feeling

Of God-oneness-intimacy.

```

256.

```

What is there to worry about?

If you love God sincerely,

God will always take care of you

In His inimitable Way. ```

257.

```

Nobody conquers another

By fighting.

Only by loving

Can one conquer. ```

258.

```

I must achieve God-Satisfaction

In each and every department

Of my life.

```

259.

```

God tells me

That He does not want

To be familiar any more

With my ingratitude-heart. ```

260.

```

It is high time for me

To open wide my heart-door

And close down my mind-shop

To realise my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

261.

```

Alas, why do I not see

That my mind has already reached

The fulness of its stupidity?

```

262.

```

Hope and promise

Are the two most beautiful flowers

In God's Heart-Garden.

```

263.

```

God's Dream is at once

Unimaginably prescient

And immeasurably patient.

```

264.

```

When I sit for my life's

Transformation-examination,

God definitely expects

Some positive results. ```

265.

```

To realise God,

Aspiration is necessary.

To realise God,

Surrender is indispensable. ```

266.

```

God was sadly amused

When He read my mind's

Recently published

God-unwillingness-stories. ```

267.

```

When you are wanting

In aspiration,

Your heart's peace-shore

Will be invaded by doubt-storms. ```

268.

```

Alas, alas,

The unwillingness to serve God

In mankind

Is permeating the entire human race. ```

269.

```

God's Hands stretch

Lovingly and compassionately

Over my aspiration-future.

```

270.

```

To know better God's Philosophy,

We must dwell at every moment

In our own heart-home.

```

271.

```

God tells me

That He may come back

Once again

To visit my unwillingness-mind,

But He is not absolutely sure.

```

272.

```

No matter how many

Thousands of centuries

It will take me to realise God,

I shall never, never give up! ```

273.

```

The future of the whole human race

Will not depend

On man's mind-made power,

But on God's Heart-made Love. ```

274.

```

Impatience

Is the greatest hindrance

To any success-mind

And progress-heart. ```

275.

```

If you are not thrilled

By God's Presence,

How can you dare to think

You will run the fastest

In the God-realisation-race?

```

276.

```

May my Lord's Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Always be found

Inside my heart's gratitude-garden. ```

277.

```

I am determined to learn

The song of life

As sung by my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

278.

```

I shall not fight against

The human mind that contradicts me.

I shall only pray to my Lord Supreme

For its immediate illumination. ```

279.

```

We must know

That indifference is always alien

To God's Temperament.

```

280.

```

My heart-poems

Are precious to my soul.

My heart-songs

Are precious to God.

But my heart-cries and heart-smiles

Are God's veritable treasures. ```

281.

```

Not only my heart,

But also God

Cannot believe

What a doubt-cherishing mind

I have!

```

282.

```

My soul has whispered a great secret

Into God's Ear:

I am all ready for my unconditional

God-surrender. ```

283.

```

If you do not aspire regularly,

Then definitely depression-emptiness

Will yawn before you.

```

284.

```

My soul's divinity

Is indeed a prominent authority

On the subject of world-peace.

```

285.

```

Your greatness might

But your goodness will not

Cause any heart to sink.

```

286.

```

From birth to birth

And death to death,

My life will only evolve

Forward and upward

And not revert

Backward and downward. ```

287.

```

Why is surrender

First in everything?

Because surrender alone

Claims God as its very own. ```

288.

```

God's Compassion

May become tired of me,

But God's Forgiveness

Will never be tired of me. ```

289.

```

My inner eagerness

And my outer readiness

Have the capacity

To defy my fate. ```

290.

```

Love is the eye that the soul uses

To see the world.

Oneness is the heart that the soul uses

To feel and become the world. ```

291.

```

I pray to God

To give me the capacity

To unlearn everything

That my mind has taught me

Over the years.

```

292.

```

My God-surrender-life

Is walking, marching and running

Faster than the fastest

Towards my Beloved Lord Supreme. ```

293.

```

My heart's peace-garden

Has been well-nurtured

By God's Compassion-flooded Eye.

```

294.

```

I am so happy

That my mind is willingly

And my heart is eagerly

Turning towards God's Will. ```

295.

```

The Pathway that is God's

Has to be

My eagerness-life's path

As well. ```

296.

```

God blessingfully tells

My aspiration-heart

That one day it will definitely

Be able to please Him

In His own Way.

```

297.

```

O my mind,

Do not blame God for your failures.

Blame yourself.

Blame your stupid unwillingness

To accept God's Light.

```

298.

```

To Infinity's peace

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Have together turned. ```

299.

```

Negativity

Is a fast-acting doubt-poison

To destroy

Our God-realisation-hunger. ```

300.

```

O my life's wailing wings of sorrow,

God's fast-descending Compassion-Feet

Will soon console you.
