I am flying and flying and flying

1

```

I am flying and flying and flying

On my new God-obedience-wings

In Infinity's Sky.

```

2

```

Aspiration is singular.

Manifestation is plural. ```

3

```

Doubt rightly deserves

To be

A homeless beggar.

```

4

```

Love is

Mistake-proof. ```

5

```

Bury your impatience

Here, there and

All-where.

```

6

```

God asks for volunteers

And not for soldiers. ```

7

```

Man-teacher preaches.

God-Teacher teaches. ```

8

```

I am looking for

A permanent doubt-remedy. ```

9

```

God accompanies

My opportunities. ```

10

```

The outer smile is beautiful.

The inner smile is perfect. ```

11

```

Cancel your

Hesitation-performance. ```

12

```

Aspiration-decline

Does not become you. ```

13

```

Negativity's bloom

Is

Negativity's doom.

```

14

```

God does not command,

But expects

An eager audience.

```

15

```

Effort needed.

Grace indispensable. ```

16

```

I am bettering myself

To increase humanity's

Divine pride.

```

17

```

Soulfulness-barrenness

Is

Terribly shocking.

```

18

```

Nobody can outlive

His usefulness on earth. ```

19

```

There is a sempiternal bond

Between

My nothingness

And

God’s fulness.

```

20

```

What is God doing?

God is looking

For a self-giving,

God-hungry seeker. ```

21

```

I must trust

The peace-dreamer,

I must.

```

22

```

I must trust

The peace-bringer,

I must.

```

23

```

I must trust

The peace-receiver,

I must.

```

24

```

I am giving you

The happiest news:

Your long alienation

From your soul

Is just over!

```

25

```

The perfection-soul is by far

The best mediator

Between

The two secret rivals:

The mind and the vital.

```

26

```

Imitation is an unforeseen

Failure-frustration. ```

27

```

I keep only four books

In my heart library:

Simplicity,

Sincerity,

Humility

And

Purity.

```

28

```

May each life become

A flower-blossom-beauty. ```

29

```

May each heart become

A fountain-God-obedience. ```

30

```

Man's outer life

Is

A fading experience.

```

31

```

Man's inner life

Is

An ever-heightening

And

Ever-deepening Realisation.

```

32

```

One flight can NEVER reach

The God-realisation-height.

Countless stopovers

Are absolutely needed. ```

33

```

Miracle-Masters are fated

To deplorable disciple-conditions

And

Blessed with a miracle-audience. ```

34

```

Devotion-superfluity

Is an absurdity

Plus impossibility.

```

35

```

The perfection-song

Hides

In the imperfection-gong.

```

36

```

The King of Light

Lovingly expects

My heart.

```

37

```

The king of darkness

Ruthlessly demands

My blood.

```

38

```

A delight-heart

Is the tailwind

Of a surrender-life.

```

39

```

Our God-aspiration-heart

Does not sleep. ```

40

```

Our God-dedication-life

Does not sleep. ```

41

```

When I claim God

To be my own, very own,

I do not need sleep.

```

42

```

My doubting mind

Wants to be

A self-illumination-questioner.

```

43

```

My aspiring heart

Wants to be

Self-illumination-billionaire.

```

44

```

My utter disaster

Is only a hair’s breadth away

From my God-disobedience.

```

45

```

Do not wait

For God to approach you.

He may deliberately

Forget you. ```

46

```

There is no

Quick and sudden journey

To perfection.

```

47

```

I want my heart-compass

To turn towards

God's Polestar-Eye.

```

48

```

Our suffering does not pay

The admission fee to Heaven,

But our God-surrender

Happily does. ```

49

```

A surrender life

Is a perfect

God-answer.

```

50

```

A great many times

My life has been saved

By a wee iota

Of God-obedience. ```

51

```

You fool!

Grace descends

For your immediate acceptance

And not for your total rejection. ```

52

```

O my God-searching mind,

Fly and fly

Far beyond the domain

Of world-complaint-criticism-torture. ```

53

```

My Lord,

Please give me anything else —

But not freedom.

Freedom I misuse;

Destruction I invite.

```

54

```

Every day God loves to have

A letter from me.

Even my volcano-anger-letter

Gives Him true joy. ```

55

```

God and I disagree

Only on one point:

He emphatically tells me

That I am another God. ```

56

```

My Lord Supreme,

I just love

Your high Commands.

They are at once

Extremely challenging

And extremely inspiring. ```

57

```

My Lord Supreme,

I quite dislike

Your mild Requests.

They are so weak

And completely empty

Of inspiration. ```

58

```

My mind,

I have already chosen

My heart

And not you

To be my destiny-maker.

You can remain silent. ```

59

```

The longer I sit

On my knees,

The sooner God comes down

To kiss my eyes. ```

60

```

The ignorance-thief

Does not know

How

To stop stealing. ```

61

```

My pride is

My self-applause

Thunder.

```

62

```

Immortality loves

To live

In the heart

Of fleeting moments. ```

63

```

God’s Face quenches

My eye-thirst.

God’s Feet feed

My heart-hunger. ```

64

```

Not out of dire compulsion

But out of sterling affection

I always say YES

To my soul. ```

65

```

Change of work

Is rest.

This is my God-lesson.

```

66

```

The aspiration-elevator

Is available

Only in the heart-palace

And not in

The mind-cottage.
