Silence speaks, part 3

1.

```

The Lord will draw

Your great life-plan

If you become

His greatest fan. ```

2.

```

An unwilling mind

Can nothing find.

An unwilling life

Is shockingly blind. ```

3.

```

I recognise

Impurity

By its face of

Insecurity. ```

4.

```

Earthly prosperity

Comes and goes.

Heavenly satisfaction

Comes and grows. ```

5.

```

Because you have erased your past

Without leaving a trace,

You are seeing within, without

God's Satisfaction-Face. ```

6.

```

You have the mind

That creates pains.

You are the soul

That breaks chains. ```

7.

```

A casual commitment

To spirituality

Is nothing other

Than useless futility. ```

8.

```

My ego-mind sings

My vital's attachment-song.

My oneness-heart strikes

My soul's enlightenment-gong. ```

9.

```

My prayer-life

Makes my heart divinely pure.

My surrender-life

Makes my world supremely sure. ```

10.

```

The fearful mind

Lives in a cave.

The doubting mind

Lives in a grave. ```

11.

```

His greatness wants to conquer

The truth to enjoy.

His goodness wants the truth

Him to employ. ```

12.

```

Where else can you find

Aspiration-flame

If not inside your

Inspiration-game? ```

13.

```

I call it

My heart's simplicity.

God calls it

His Life's Majesty. ```

14.

```

O leave the past!

Why do you care?

Live in the present

To smile and dare. ```

15.

```

No, no, you will

Get no award

If your mind looks

Always backward. ```

16.

```

The silence-voice

Of the inner life

Challenges daily

Ignorance-knife. ```

17.

```

You do not need

Your Lord's Fulness.

What you need now

Is His Forgiveness. ```

18.

```

Mine is a mind

Unpardonable.

Mine is a life

Deplorable. ```

19.

```

If I am

My mind's chain,

God is His

Forgiveness-Reign. ```

20.

```

God has now blessed you

With a visit unexpected.

O can you not show Him

Your earth-life perfected? ```

21.

```

God's powerful

Compassion-Lance

Teaches my heart

Every day to dance. ```

22.

```

Confine your doubtful mind,

Confine.

Refine your sordid life,

Refine. ```

23.

```

Not with your mind's

Narrowness-span

Can you change God's

Absolute Plan. ```

24.

```

Each man was born

For peace and bliss

And never for

Darkness-snake-kiss. ```

25.

```

A heart of promise-light

Must never die.

A life of hope-delight

Must never sigh. ```

26.

```

Religions, you are no longer

Teaching me how to fly.

You are forcing my heart and life

To cry and sigh and die. ```

27.

```

Because you are

Your heart's purity,

You are also God's

Real necessity. ```

28.

```

Find your forgotten

God-identity

If you desire His

Bliss-Eternity. ```

29.

```

If you are prone to

Indecision,

Never can you escape

Frustration. ```

30.

```

I may not be perfect

In seeking,

But my Lord is perfect

In finding. ```

31.

```

O doubting mind,

Do you not know

That you are your own

Unhappy foe? ```

32.

```

My mind and vital promise me

A life of excitement.

My soul and heart promise me

A life of enlightenment. ```

33.

```

Each divine thought is

Man's capacity

To transcend the boundaries

Of humanity. ```

34.

```

You want to show God

Your affluence.

God wants you to show

His Influence. ```

35.

```

When the mind

Wants to rest,

Always ready

The heart-nest. ```

36.

```

Desire,

You fascinate

Only

To assassinate. ```

37.

```

Life is man's

Expectation-night.

Life is God's

Experience-Delight. ```

38.

```

My earth-life's

Sleepless aspiration

Is my Lord's

Complete Satisfaction. ```

39.

```

In me God is God's

Eternal Play.

Therefore, my life-tree

Will know no decay. ```

40.

```

Give not way to

Life's hopelessness.

God is awaiting you

With His Fulness. ```

41.

```

You want your life

To be glorious.

Then make your heart

First victorious. ```

42.

```

If you keep not

Your personal choice,

God will not keep

His impersonal Voice. ```

43.

```

If you long only

For aspiration,

Then nothing can limit

Your perfection. ```

44.

```

My aspiration-heart's

Everyday choice

Is my sweet Supreme Lord's

Compassion-Voice. ```

45.

```

God has invited you

To run in His Race.

Therefore beg Him

To set the pace. ```

46.

```

God will give you

His Life's measureless Strength.

You just give Him

Your heart's purity-length. ```

47.

```

When he is with God,

He cries for God's Compassion.

When he is with man,

He cries for man's cooperation. ```

48.

```

Since you enjoy living

In your mind's jail,

Your poor heart's appeal

To God will fail. ```

49.

```

Devotion is something

That creates purity.

Surrender is something

That embodies divinity. ```

50.

```

My heart's self-giving song

Is for every hour.

My life's God-becoming dance

Is God's Delight-Tower. ```

51.

```

Perfection

Is my inner unfoldment.

Surrender

Is my God-endearment. ```

52.

```

If you enjoy the torrent

Of doubt-rain,

Your life is bound to become

A sleepless pain. ```

53.

```

Challenge the brutal strength

Of ignorance-frown.

The Lord Supreme will grant you

His own peerless Crown. ```

54.

```

If you are on

The path of desire,

Your service-life

God will never hire. ```

55.

```

God is extremely proud

Of your ignorance-fight,

And of your eagerness

To spread all-where His Light. ```

56.

```

O make my heart

A heart soulful.

O make my life

A life fruitful. ```

57.

```

To hear your soul's

Happiness-gong,

Sing not your mind's

Expectation-song. ```

58.

```

Many gods:

My mind's fabrication.

Only one God:

My heart's realisation. ```

59.

```

If you are cherishing

Your frightened heart,

You are also cherishing

An ignorance-dart. ```

60.

```

If you are not willing

To clean up your vital-mess,

God will not print

Your victory-name on His Press. ```

61.

```

How are You today,

My Beloved Lord Supreme?

Are You going to share with me

Your Satisfaction-Dream? ```

62.

```

Dive within.

You will feel perfection.

Serve without.

You will feel satisfaction. ```

63.

```

O my doubtful

And suspicious mind,

God's Vision-Light

How will you ever find? ```

64.

```

If your longing

Has no intensity,

Then your life

Is all futility. ```

65.

```

When Love divine

Begins to whisper,

The heart begins

To richly prosper. ```

66.

```

Beyond

The power of human reason

Is God's

Man-transforming season. ```

67.

```

Your mind is covered

With ignorance-mud.

Therefore, you see not

Your pure heart-bud. ```

68.

```

When I pray, I pray

For God's Greatness Transcendental.

When I meditate, I meditate

On God's Oneness Universal. ```

69.

```

If you are lost

In unwillingness-land,

How can you ever

Feel God's Hand? ```

70.

```

The dancing eye

Of a soaring imagination

Carries the mind

To the farthest destination. ```

71.

```

All you need to know about earth

Is its receptivity-heart.

All you need to know about Heaven

Is its ignorance-smashing dart. ```

72.

```

His human heart has now become

The possessor of boundless delight,

For he has cancelled his reservation

On the bondage-ignorance-flight. ```

73.

```

Make your choice:

God in His own Way,

Or continue living

In ignorance-clay. ```

74.

```

Do you not know

God's Love is unbounded?

Do you not know

Your fears are unfounded? ```

75.

```

In your mental world choose

Between possessing and renouncing.

In your psychic world choose

Between ruling and surrendering. ```
