My Lord Supreme,
Yesterday I wasYour Compassion-birth.
Today I amYour Perfection-flower.
Tomorrow I shall beYour Satisfaction-flute.
```My Beloved Supreme,
What is the thingThat I need most from You
At every hourOf the night and day?
“My child,
My blessingful Hand’sBlessingful Touch.”
```My sweet Lord,
I wish to makeA most sincere confession.
I have heard the wordsEternity and Immortality
Countless times.To my extreme sorrow,
I do not knowWhat they precisely mean.
“My child,
Eternity isMy Heart’s universal Hope.
Immortality isMy Eye’s transcendental Promise.”
```My dear Lord,
We are Your children.How is it
That You have not made usAs happy as You are?
“My child,
Your way of happinessAnd My Way of happiness
Are two totally different things.”My dear Lord,
When I say happiness,What I mean is
My supremacy-declaration.“My child,
When I say happiness,What I mean is
My Oneness-Satisfaction.“You cannot and do not claim Me
As your own, very own.Therefore you are unhappy.
But I can and do claim youAs My own, very own.
Therefore I am happy.” ```My Lord Supreme,
Every day my life-boatPlies between
Your two Compassion-Shores:Time and speed.
I pray to You to grant me
The lightning-speedWhile I am plying my boat
To the speed-destination.And while I am plying my boat
To the time-destination,Do bless me with
Eternity’s patience. ```My Beloved Supreme,
Out of 100,What do You give me
When I give YouMy mind’s love, my heart’s devotion
And my life’s surrender?“My child, I give you 9 1⁄4
When you give Me your mind’s love.“I give you 79 1⁄2
When you give Me your heart’s devotion.“I give you 99 3⁄4
When you give Me your life’s surrender.”My Beloved Supreme,
When can You give me100 out of 100?
“My child,
Not until you are emptyOf your curiosity-stupidity.”
My Beloved Supreme,Out of 100,
What do You give meWhen I give You
My mind’s love, my heart’s devotionAnd my life’s surrender?
“My child, I give you 9 1⁄4
When you give Me your mind’s love.“I give you 79 1⁄2
When you give Me your heart’s devotion.“I give you 99 3⁄4
When you give Me your life’s surrender.”My Beloved Supreme,
When can You give me100 out of 100?
“My child,
Not until you are emptyOf your curiosity-stupidity.”
```My sweet Lord,
Can I ever be forgiven?“My child,
Not until I am absolutely sureThat you will not
Deliberately repeatThe same blunder.”
```My sweet Lord,
Please be sincere.Do You really care for me?
“My child,
I care for youOnly when you want Me
To guide youAnd not when you want
To lead Me.” ```My Beloved Supreme,
Which church can and willSave me?
“My child,
Not the man-built church,But your own heart’s inner
Devotion-built church.” ```My dear Lord,
I am a staunch Catholic.Therefore, am I wrong if I say
That I alone am entitled to Heaven?“My child,
I am afraid if I tell youThat you alone
Are entitled to Heaven,Then your Protestant cousins
Will sue Me.”My dear Lord,
Then who is entitled to Heaven?“My child,
The human being whose heart-cryCan fly up to Heaven,
And whose soul-smileCan fly down to earth.”
```My Supreme Lord,
If I die,Will I be able to go
To Heaven?“My child,
If you liveIn your mind-confusion,
No.“But if you live
In your heart-devotion,Then definitely yes.”
```My Beloved Supreme,
Is there any right time for meTo do the right thing?
“My child,
Not tomorrow,Not even today!
“The right time for you
To do the right thingIs now,
At this very moment,Plus
Here and nowhere else.” ```My Lord Supreme,
Are You displeased with meBecause I have not
Cheerfully surrendered myselfTo Your Will?
“My child,
I am not displeased with you,But the real reality in you
Is your soul.“Each day when it sees
That you are not makingYour cheerful surrender
To My Omniscience,Omnipresence
And Omnipotence,Your soul carries unnecessarily
An elephant-weight,A volcano-frustration
And a tornado-destruction.“My child,
Each secondEither you surrender to My Will
Or I surrender to your stupidity.“I can go on surrendering to you,
But if you do not surrenderTo My Infinity’s Compassion-Heart,
Then each dayIs a failure-cry of your soul,
And I shed endless tearsWith your poor soul.”
```My Lord Supreme,
Why are You so unkind to me?You have given me no capacity.
Whereas,You have given my soul the capacity,
Out of Your infinite Bounty,To be in a self-absorbing trance,
To enjoy Your Immortality’sInfinite Compassion.
“My child,
In comparison to your soul,You are too young.
When you become as matureAs your soul,
I shall give youThe same kind of capacity
To do My Work on earth.” ```My dear Lord,
I have forgotten.Do tell me
If You have given meAnything to bring down
From Heaven to earth.“My child,
I gave you My Vision-EyeTo bring down
From Heaven to earth.”My dear Lord,
What will You be giving meTo carry from earth to Heaven?
“My child,
I shall give youMy Manifestation-Feet
To carry from earth to Heaven.” ```My sweet Lord,
How many steps are thereTo reach God?
“My child,
There is only one step.”Only one step!
Please tell meThe name of the step.
“It is called
Your life’s union-surrender-step.” ```My dear Lord,
Please tell meWhat is ahead of me.
“My child,
The beauty of My Compassion-Eye.”And what is behind me?
“The certainty
Of My Forgiveness-Heart.” ```My sweet Lord
Absolute Beloved Supreme,Do give me the capacity
To worship You sleeplesslyWhile admiring
Your universal Mind,Adoring
Your universal Life,And loving
Your universal Heart-Breath,To fulfil You and please You
In Your absolutely newAnd unprecedented creation.
```My Lord Supreme,
What is the differenceBetween faith and love?
“My child,
There is no differenceBetween faith and love.
“Faith and love
Are two complementary souls.“Faith is the heart of love
And love is the breath of faith.” ```My Lord Supreme,
I do not want greatness.I do not want even goodness.
I want only to beA speck of humility-dust
To remind meOf my sleepless service-life.
