My Lord's Nectar-Delight is not far away,
If I eat not mind-mud and vital-clay. ```In secrecy supreme my Lord I worship;
I pride myself only on His Leadership. ```All-where the pride-monarch-titans mushroom.
Behold, their fleeting bloom and sinking doom! ```Oh, leave no door open for doubt, I say,
With God's Heart-Joy-Smiles if you long to play. ```Oh, never trust your mind's desire-train!
No goal it has — just bondage-chain. ```Ecstasy's flood will soon arrive.
You keep your inner flames alive. ```When I invoke my Lord's Compassion-Face,
His Heart forgives my disobedience-case. ```World-withdrawal is no solution.
It thickens the jungle-mind-confusion. ```Breathe the fragrance of your heart-tears.
Yours will be God's Summit-Pride-Cheers. ```O my clever, trust-fractured mind,
You have made me totally blind. ```Do You love me, my Lord?
If so, give meYour Thunder-Feet,
The only way to keep my vital and mindAll clean and neat.
```God never wants you
To be the loser.He always wants you
To be His Smile-chooser. ```A self-giving joy when I earn,
Every heart-message-light I learn. ```In each there is a little of all;
The same God-Heartbeats — big or small. ```God is available in your own heart-clime.
God is approachable — select your own time. ```Embark on your inner pilgrimage.
Your life will grow into God's own image. ```My sound-producer-mind, be silent, mute!
My Lord Supreme arrives with His Golden Flute. ```If God you want to know,
Never, never be slow! ```Cheerful, cheerful, cheerful — be cheerful!
If not, your life-breath will be fearful. ```Compassion-Supreme, at You when I look,
Your tearful Heart I fail to brook. ```If your heart is prayerless and weak,
How can the Lord God ever speak? ```My heart, my sweet Lord's Victory-Song sing!
My soul, ecstasy-bird is on the wing. ```My doubting mind deserves
The God who reprimands.My heart rightly needs
The God who commands. ```High hopes, high ideals, high will, I dream
To claim here and now my Lord Supreme. ```Love not, trust not
Your vital-train.It carries nothing
But torture-pain. ```My mind-roar can never silence
My God-whispers.My Lord Supreme dances in my
Gratitude-tears. ```Daily my promise rises like the sun:
My ignorance-pleasure-dream I shall shun. ```To see beyond time faith is the telescope.
Faith shatters mind-doubts' strongest bondage-rope. ```Impossibility is empty of meaning.
God's God-Pride in me is blossoming. ```The pulse of a purity-heart I need,
My Supreme Lord's Heart-Breath-Book to read. ```A shocking decline in my devotion am I;
Yet my Lord Supreme remains His Compassion-Eye. ```My Lord, no more
Ignorance-worship, no more.Mine is the heart-boat
Bound for the Golden Shore. ```God does not mind
If you stumble, even fall.Just ignore not
His Heart's Compassion-Call. ```A heart replete
With oneness-fulness-love,Indeed a fond
Blessing-blossom from Above. ```Only at man's heart-station stops God-Train
To carry man's sleepless and breathless pain. ```Needed: surrender-stamps to mail God-letters.
Once sent, we see no more bondage-fetters. ```What is God-loving dedication?
The oneness-love-joy in action. ```With pure obedience-bliss
On my wings I fly.God gives me His own
Heart-Treasure-Sky. ```My heart, my only aspiration-shrine,
In you God's Hope and Promise shine. ```Each uncomely thought is ignorance-breath.
It leads our lives to destruction-death. ```Purity is matchless in every way.
It lives in God's Sun-Heart-Day. ```The more my life enjoys the outer sleep,
Helpless, hopeless, in my inner life I weep. ```What is my name, my real name?
My Lord's Heaven-ascending flame. ```The outer mind has made my life fearful.
The inner heart has made my breath cheerful. ```I pray and pray and pray to see God's Face,
To free my life from sad failure-disgrace. ```O Lord, do make my heart
Receptive in Your own Way.O Lord, bless me, help me
To end my fruitless mind-play. ```Nothing can magnify
God's Perfection-Glory.None can nullify
God's Compassion-Story. ```God's Compassion creates happiness-newness.
My gratitude creates surrender-sweetness. ```Seeker, if you sleep through
Aspiration-alarm,Your eyes will be empty of
Your great soul-beauty's charm. ```Ah, when my heart lives on God-hunger-cry,
God smiles in my self-transcendence-sky. ```My final farewell to my deception-mind:
No more the poison-breath of ignorance blind! ```Within, without my wild doubt-drum no more!
I have arrived at my God-faith-blossom-shore. ```When I am in my searching mind,
My Lord Supreme is available.When I am in my crying heart,
My Lord Supreme is attainable. ```O my heart's sweet fountain-willingness,
You are my Lord's fondest nearness. ```My morning prayer if I not miss,
My heart becomes God's Pride, God's Bliss. ```My life's pure service-length
Is my God-oneness-strength. ```Be brave, my heart, be brave!
Your God — not in the cave.Your God is in the mart.
Therefore, world-acceptance start! ```A restive mind divided
By God will never be guided. ```O God-seeker, keep not
Mankind behind.God's Height, God's Depth, God's All
Your heart will find. ```No more my heart shall live
Inside my mind-cage.My heart shall breathe and smile
Inside my soul-sage. ```Sleepless, I long to weep
For You, my Lord, I long to weep.Oh, only You I need.
Do end my shameless ignorance-sleep. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,My Silence-Heart Blossoms, part 2, Agni Press, 1995
