Heaven's Ecstasy-Flames

1.

```

Heaven's ecstasy-flames

You can become

If you disperse

Your mind's jealousy-clouds. ```

2.

```

When I am

My receptivity-heart,

God is

God's Sunrise-Smile. ```

3.

```

There was a time

When I played

On my heart's

Hope-flute.

Now

I am playing

On my life's

Promise-drum. ```

4.

```

Concentration-power

Is

The strongest power

That silences

Uncomely thoughts

And

Wandering mind.

```

5.

```

A doubt-turbulence-free mind

Is

Unbelievably beautiful

And

Soulful.

```

6.

```

The intensity of willingness

Marks the beginning

Of a divine fulness-heart.

```

7.

```

Alas,

Everybody wants to be

A world-imperfection-perfectionist

And not

A world-transformation-optimist.

```

8.

```

The mind-door is open

To hostile forces.

The heart-door is open

To God's Tears. ```

9.

```

O my heart,

I want you only to love God.

O my mind,

I want you only to need God.

O my life,

I want you only to be of God

And for God.

```

10.

```

If you love someone,

You will naturally have concern for them.

But love is infinitely more important

Than concern,

For love is oneness.

```

11.

```

Concern gives

According to its limited willingness.

Love gives

According to its fullest capacity. ```

12.

```

God is not asking you to be indifferent-

Far from it!

But your kindness has to be flooded

With the inner light. ```

13.

```

Despite knowing perfectly well

That He is going to fail,

God still tries and tries

To console us and illumine us. ```

14.

```

Feel that each day

Is the beginning of a new consciousness,

The beginning of a new hope,

The beginning of a new God-loving life

And God-manifesting life.

```

15.

```

Claim your Master's achievements

As your very own.

You will make your Master

The happiest person on earth. ```

16.

```

You did nothing

For God.

Yet

You expect everything

From Him.

```

17.

```

Beautiful

Is

The God of Light.

Powerful

Is

The God of Compassion.

Delightful

Is

The God of Dream.

```

18.

```

Willingness

Has

Intensity-speed.

Self-givingness

Is

The destination-arrival. ```

19.

```

The heart of Heaven

Sweetly whispers.

The mind of earth

Ruthlessly roars. ```

20.

```

You will be completely lost

Only when you ignore

The God-dreams

Of your aspiration-heart. ```

21.

```

My Lord,

To love You is not only

The one thing,

But

The thing,

The only thing

I want to have

And

I want to be.

```

22.

```

My silence-meditation-peace

Is

My Lord's Victory-Throne.

```

23.

```

The mind is needed

To imagine

God-manifestation-possibilities.

The heart is needed

To explore

God-manifestation-possibilities.

The life is needed

To fulfil

God-manifestation-possibilities.

```

24.

```

What is aspiration?

Aspiration is

The champion-transcendence-runner.

```

25.

```

My aspiration-strength

And

God's Satisfaction-Length

Are always found

Together.

```

26.

```

God the Justice

Is

My interviewer.

God the Compassion

Is

My interpreter. ```

27.

```

O my mind,

Stop being a stranger to

Your soul's illumination-smiles

And

Your heart's aspiration-cries.

```

28.

```

The heart-dreamer

We all are.

The mind-disbeliever

We equally are. ```

29.

```

A constant satisfaction-heart

Is

The Heaven-ticket paid.

```

30.

```

O doubt-infested mind,

From you I shall

Successfully hide.

```

31.

```

As quantity-enormity

Is

A universal experience,

Even so, quality-rarity

Is

A universal experience. ```

32.

```

When I pray

God blesses me

With an inspiration-boat.

When I meditate

God blesses me

By turning me into

The aspiration-boatman.

```

33.

```

When I love God

For my sake,

My mind and I enjoy

Ignorance-darkness-feast.

When I love God

For God's sake,

My heart and I enjoy

His Wisdom-Light-Feast. ```

34.

```

Be not seen inside

The ferocious pride

Of your mind

And

The voracious greed

Of your vital. ```

35.

```

Friends will come

And

Friends will go.

Brothers and sisters will come

And

Brothers and sisters will go.

Who will remain with me

Forever?

My Eternity's God-lover.

```

36.

```

The devotion-tears

Of the heart

Are the fastest

God-discoverers. ```

37.

```

Many have done it

And I shall do it.

I shall break asunder

My mind's doubt-bondage-chains. ```

38.

```

If you want to please God

In God's own Way,

Then the first thing

You have to do

Is

To shut down

Your impure mind's

Impure thought

Impurity-factory.

```

39.

```

May my life's divinity

Be fully blossomed

Inside my heart's

Meditation-prosperity. ```

40.

```

May I become my heart's

Enthusiasm-bird

With

Eagerness-wings

To fly in God's

Satisfaction-Sky. ```

41.

```

May my self-giving

Oneness-business

Every day,

Every hour,

Every minute,

Every second prosper,

To please my Lord Beloved Supreme

In His own Way. ```

42.

```

If your mind

Can derail

Your aspiration-train,

Then you can fix it

With your heart's

Sterling faith. ```

43.

```

We are so fortunate

That

God the Compassion

And not

God the Justice

Examines our life's

Perfection-progress.

```

44.

```

Is there any human mind

That does not want

To monopolise

God's Compassion-Smiles? ```

45.

```

Your mind

May not have

Any respect for truth.

But your heart

Should have

Not only respect,

But also love for truth.

```

46.

```

Alas,

We do not know why,

But we do allow hesitation

To hamper our heart's

Progress-speed.

```

47.

```

All achievement-adventures

Are not only powerful,

But also

Beautiful and fruitful. ```

48.

```

O my mind,

I will absolutely

No more allow you

To interfere

In my heart's

Hope-activities. ```

49.

```

Enthusiasm

Is the fastest speed

Of the searching mind.

Eagerness

Is the fastest speed

Of the aspiring heart.

Oneness

Is the fastest speed

Of the serving life.

```

50.

```

Beautiful I am

When I pray and sing

With the morning stars.

Peaceful I am

When I meditate and sing

With the evening stars. ```
