My life's every day hope-blossoms and promise-trees

1.

```

Every day

I am on strike

Against my mind-boss.

```

2.

```

Every day

I enjoy sailing

With my heart-boatman.

```

3.

```

Every day

God and I have

Private conversations

At least for seven hours

Inside God's Soul-Room.

```

4.

```

Every day

I fly with my soul-bird

Towards Heaven,

No traffic at all. ```

5.

```

Every day

I give my body, vital and mind

An ultimatum:

Either be all for God

Or be totally out of my sight.

```

6.

```

Every day

God tells me,

"My son, what I need from you

Are heart-essentials,

Not mind-credentials."

```

7.

```

Every day

God receives from my vital

A disobedience-tornado.

```

8.

```

Every day

God receives from my heart

An obedience-sea.

```

9.

```

Every day

I am

My God-dependence.

```

10.

```

Every day

God is

God-Embrace.

```

11.

```

Every day

I do not know

Why and how I suffer

From the heavy rain of sorrow. ```

12.

```

Every day

I realise that I live

In my mind-hesitation-limitation.

```

13.

```

Every day

Early in the morning

I take the train to go

From my Lord's Hope-Station

To His Promise-Station.

```

14.

```

Every day

I go to participate

In the self-doubt-prevention club.

```

15.

```

Every day

I vehemently deny

My short-lived

Satisfaction-possession. ```

16.

```

Every day

I am a new self-disciplined

Determination-dynamo.

```

17.

```

Every day

I aim at a higher goal

With each God-aspiring breath.

```

18.

```

Every day

I put my sad misfortune

To happy and good use.

```

19.

```

Every day

I try to remain a perfect stranger

To attachment-parasite.

```

20.

```

Every day

I learn and teach

And learn and teach

At God-awareness-school. ```

21.

```

Every day

I tell God,

"How can I live my life

Where Your Heart is not?" ```

22.

```

Every day

God wants me to enjoy

The unparalleled fragrance

Of my forgiveness-heart. ```

23.

```

Every day

I beg God for power.

He gives me light instead.

```

24.

```

Every day

I beg God for superiority.

He gives me humility instead.

```

25.

```

Every day

God replaces

My world-conquest-thought

With self-conquest-will. ```

26.

```

Every day

God tells me that

My inner peace

And my inner freedom

Do not depend

On my outer circumstances. ```

27.

```

Every day

God tells me that I do not need

A painful experience

To increase my God-devotion.

What I need is a sleepless

God-awareness-heart. ```

28.

```

Every day

I find myself

In the streaming tears

Of my heart

And in the beaming smiles

Of my soul. ```

29.

```

Every day

I thank God

For having one thing:

Obedience-eagerness. ```

30.

```

Every day

I thank God

For not having one thing:

Disobedience-ruthlessness. ```

31.

```

Every day

God tells me that

To sow love in the heart

Is to reap peace in the life. ```

32.

```

Every day

God tells me

My God-dedication

Is my God-union. ```

33.

```

Every day

God prevents me from visiting

The mind-doubt-factory.

```

34.

```

Every day

God wants me to spend

At least four hours

In my soul-company. ```

35.

```

Every day

I break my desire-toys

With tremendous pride.

```

36.

```

Every day

I take God's Presence in my heart

As my life's present to mankind.

```

37.

```

Every day

My mind tells me

My soul is a foreigner,

Therefore not to trust my soul. ```

38.

```

Every day

My heart-telescope sees God,

No matter how far away He is.

```

39.

```

Every day

My God-obedience equals

My God-satisfaction.

```

40.

```

Every day

God tells me that

My God-surrender

Has the capacity

To make up for lost time

In my spiritual journey. ```

41.

```

Every day

God asks me to challenge

My life's imperfection-enemies.

```

42.

```

Every day

It is becoming clearer to me

That disobedience is the root,

Destruction is the tree. ```

43.

```

Every day

I sadden God's Heart

By not leaving the desire-land.

```

44.

```

Every day

I sadden my Lord's Heart

By listening to the advice

Of my desire-mind. ```

45.

```

Every day

I get

God-Heart-Umbrella-Protection

For the asking. ```

46.

```

Every day

God's Compassion-Heart

Awakens me

And God's Justice-Eye

Illumines me.

```

47.

```

Every day

I monopolise God's Love.

Yet God's Compassion-Ocean

Remains infinite. ```

48.

```

Every day

I apply my adamantine will

Against my life-pressure.

```

49.

```

Every day

A life of pleasure

Is emptying my heart's

Beauty-fragrance-treasure. ```

50.

```

Every day

God unconditionally helps me

To bring to the fore

My heart-delight. ```

51.

```

Every day

God tells me

If I want to bind my heart-joy,

Then I shall blind my life totally. ```

52.

```

Every day

I must deeply value

My world-detachment-hours.

```

53.

```

Every day

My desire-mind rushes

To a nowhere-destination-land.

```

54.

```

Every day

God's Greatness-Height

Fascinates my eyes.

```

55.

```

Every day

God's Goodness-Depth

Liberates my mind.

```

56.

```

Every day

I please God by revolting

Against my mind-government.

```

57.

```

Every day

God tells me the real miracle

Is not walking on water,

But loving the heart

Of each and every human being.

```

58.

```

Every day

I act like a real fool

By living in my mind-cage

And not in my heart-palace. ```

59.

```

Every day

I realise that my insecurity

Is not only endless,

But utterly senseless. ```

60.

```

Every day

God takes special pride

In my secret and sacred

God-fulfilment-wishes. ```

61.

```

Every day

I shall promptly do

My God-service

And never put it on hold. ```

62.

```

Every day

I shall expand the horizon

Of my God-loving heart.

```

63.

```

Every day

I shall surprise my Lord Supreme

With something new.

```

64.

```

Every day

I shall accompany

My deep meditation

To my heart-temple. ```

65.

```

Every day

The human in me says:

"I pray and pray,

And God delays and delays." ```

66.

```

Every day

The divine in me says:

"God's Grace is at once

My inspiration-sky

And my aspiration-sun."

```

67.

```

Every day

There can be a new way

To touch God's Feet

And love God's Heart. ```

68.

```

Every day

I need nothing and I need nobody

But You only, my Lord, You.

```

69.

```

Every day

My mind pressures God

And

My heart treasures God. ```

70.

```

Every day

I need only one thing:

A one-pointed devotion-heart.
