My Master

Section one — my Master

1.

```

My heart dies

The moment it sees

My Master's sadness-tears.

```

2.

```

My heart sings, plays

And dances

In ecstasy supreme

When it sees my Master's

Gladness-smiles.

```

3.

```

Time salutes and stops

When my Master proudly expresses

His love, affection, sweetness

And fondness for me. ```

4.

```

Every morning

My Master helps my heart

Wake up

With his heart's sunrise-beauty. ```

5.

```

My Master cautioned me

And warned me

Of the tragic descent

Of my disobedience-life. ```

6.

```

O my impurity-mind,

Do not whine!

O my insecurity-heart,

Do not cry!

Behold, our Master,

With his compassion-flooded eye,

Is fast approaching us.

```

7.

```

When the Master appears,

He immediately says

To my frustration-mind, vital and body:

"Stop!

Enough of your stupidity-pride!"

He then says to my heart:

"Enjoy no more ignorance-sleep!

I want you to accept

Some of my

World-transformation-responsibilities."

```

8.

```

The Master appears and says:

"I am sure this time

My iron rod will work,

Since up until now

My sweetness-flute

Has sadly failed." ```

9.

```

My Master does not come alone.

He carries with him

His heart-home

So that his children

Do not wander any more

Inside their mind-jungles. ```

10.

```

Master, Master,

What is the difference

Between my faith in you

And your faith in me?

"My child, your faith in me

Depends on your sweet

Hope-fulfilment by me.

My faith in you

Entirely depends on

Your heart's love-strength

And

Your life's surrender-length." ```

11.

```

Master, Master, over the years

I have given you so many things.

It seems to me that you have shown me

No sense of appreciation.

Master, this time I have

Two very special gifts for you.

I am sure you will enjoy them.

"My child, tell me, tell me.

I am all eagerness."

Master, this time I shall give you

My gratitude-heart

And my surrender-life-beauty-fountains.

```

12.

```

Master, Master, please tell me

How you love me

More than I love you.

"My child,

Your heart needs repair.

Leave it with me just for an hour.

I will do the needful." ```

Section two — a God-realised Soul

13.

```

A God-realised Soul

Is

Divinity's Lion-Prince

But

Humanity's donkey-slave.

```

14.

```

The Soul of a God-realised Person

Tries with God

And

The Heart of a God-realised Person

Cries with God

For the transformation

Of humanity.

```

15.

```

A God-realised Soul

Is at once

God's Responsibility-Partner

And

Man's responsibility-frustration-reservoir.

```

16.

```

A God-realised Person

Is

Ninety-nine per cent underestimated

And

One hundred per cent misunderstood

By the elephant-ignorance-pride

Of humanity.

```

17.

```

A God-realised Person

Receives two gifts

From humanity:

Crucifixion-torture

From the desire-world

And

Glorification-rapture

From the aspiration-world. ```

18.

```

The silence of the inner world

Tells the God-realised Soul:

"Wake up!

Tarry not!

Hurry up!

Run up and down

While serving God

Inside the heart of humanity."

The sound of the outer world

Tells the God-realised Soul:

"Shut up!

Shut up!

Stay not here!

Pack up!

Go elsewhere!

Not here, not here!" ```

19.

```

The immortal Motto

Of a God-realised Soul:

Tomorrow's Dawn never begins.

Yesterday's Night never ends. ```

20.

```

A God-realised Person

Is at once

Humanity's thunder-kick-

Football-sufferer

And

Divinity's Bowling-Ball-

Winner-Dreamer.

```

21.

```

A God-realised Soul

Swims in the sea

Of Divinity's Tears

And

Drowns in the ocean

Of humanity's frowns. ```

22

```

Humanity does not need

A God-realised Soul

Because

He is not useful in humanity's eyes.

Divinity opens Heaven's Door

For a God-realised Soul

Only after He has accomplished

His supreme Task on earth. ```

23.

```

Divinity

Encourages a God-realised Soul

In His God-Manifestation-Hunger

By thunderous clapping.

Humanity

Discourages a God-realised Soul

In His God-Manifestation-Hunger

By ferocious slapping. ```

24.

```

The Heart of a God-realised Soul

Blossoms inside

God's Immortality-flooded Smile.

The Life of a God-realised Soul

Dies inside

Humanity's jealousy-dragon-eye.

```

25.

```

A God-realised Soul

Does not know how to

Tarnish and punish.

He only knows how to

Cry and try, again and again,

To see Divinity's Sun

In humanity's sky. ```

26. Consolation prize

```

Finally, the Absolute Supreme

Tells a God-realised Soul:

"My child,

You are My own

Eternity's Vision-Eye

And

You are My own

Immortality's Reality-Heart." ```

Section three — mine is a God-Dream

27.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That can never

Be shattered.

```

28.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That can never

Be even shaken.

```

29.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That never loses

My God-appointment book.

```

30.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That tells me

That my heart's aspiration

Is nothing other than

My life's recreation.

```

31.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That embodies only

The mountain-silence-peace.

```

32.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That only knows

My heart's rising aspiration-sun

And never

My heart's setting aspiration-sun.

```

33.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That is always

Empty of doubt-poison.

```

34.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That is always

Triumphant over

My earthly human fate. ```

35.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That tells me

That it is not our sadness

But our selflessness

That makes us very special

To God. ```

36.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That is, indeed,

My passport to God's

Celestial Country Home. ```

37.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That does not allow

My God-manifestation

Heart-song

To remain unsung.

```

38.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That always finds

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Available

Inside my heart-home.

```

39.

```

Mine is a God-Dream

That bravely swims across

The ocean of impossibilities.
