Silence speaks, part 4

1.

```

Humility

Spontaneously leads.

Pride

Powerfully misleads. ```

2.

```

All I need

Is my heart-access.

All God wants

Is my life-progress. ```

3.

```

Because his heart

Is all aspiration,

Nothing can limit

His life's perfection. ```

4.

```

The more you love

The inner world,

The more you perfect

The outer world. ```

5.

```

The mind likes

The fantasy-flame.

The heart likes

The ecstasy-game. ```

6.

```

Only a heart

Of gratitude

Can and shall own

Beatitude. ```

7.

```

O, try to be

God's surrender-toy.

In you will blossom

The flower of joy. ```

8.

```

Your thread of aspiration

Spun through time

Will lead you to

The perfection-clime. ```

9.

```

You are your life's

Lip-deep sincerity.

God is His Heart's

Compassion-Infinity. ```

10.

```

Read not the story

Of life's teeming mistakes.

Just swim, only swim,

In life's aspiration-lakes. ```

11.

```

The strength of your heart's

Aspiration-cry

Helps my life

Cheerfully, bravely fly. ```

12.

```

You will lose touch with

Your Beloved Supreme

If you do not become

Your life's glowing dream. ```

13.

```

Keep always open

Your heart's possibility-room.

God-manifestation

Therein shall bloom. ```

14.

```

During your great

Heavenward trip,

Maintain your life's

And soul's friendship. ```

15.

```

God has written His

Perfection-Book for man.

Not to read the book

Is man's secret plan. ```

16.

```

The human mind

Knows how to separate.

The divine mind

Knows how to congregate. ```

17.

```

I pray to God

For my heart's satisfaction.

God prays to me

For my life's perfection. ```

18.

```

While your heart was

Embracing God,

Your mind was busy

Chasing God. ```

19.

```

Who really wants

God's Satisfaction?

Who does not want

God's attention? ```

20.

```

Yesterday I saw you playing

With your mind's confusion.

Today I see you playing

With your heart's peace-profusion. ```

21.

```

Allow your vital and mind

To prove

That they still have the power

To improve. ```

22.

```

If you enjoy

Your mind's proud noise,

How will you find

Your heart's pure poise? ```

23.

```

Do you want

Your life to be tall?

If so, start

Embracing all! ```

24.

```

O marvel-producing

Fulness-faith-mind,

Yours is the duty

To transform the blind. ```

25.

```

How to have conviction

In your manifestation?

For that you need

Aspiration-foundation. ```

26.

```

Sail your non-expectation

Life-boat, sail!

You will always win

And never fail. ```

27.

```

Leading my life's parade

Slow and long,

My Lord goes, singing His

Oneness-Song. ```

28.

```

Trust not

The cobweb-mind of confusion

To transform

Your life-illusion. ```

29.

```

My sleepless

God-hungry heart

Never knows

Depression-dart. ```

30.

```

The concentration

That defies description

Can give your life

Complete satisfaction. ```

31.

```

Touch God's Haven-Feet,

Your heart's joy to increase.

This is the easiest way

Your Lord Supreme to please. ```

32.

```

O aspiration-heart

Of beauty,

Through you my Lord

Fulfils His Duty. ```

33.

```

Faith: use it

To fly in God's own Sky.

Faith: lose it

And become an orphan-cry. ```

34.

```

You have long overstayed,

Doubt; go home immediately!

Once more my mind and I

Will together live happily. ```

35.

```

I need only God's Love.

You ask me why?

Because I live in

His Oneness-Sky. ```

36.

```

Dive within, dive!

Run within, run!

Your life in God's Heart

Once more has begun. ```

37.

```

My mind, you are only

A brute pretension.

Your pygmy-life carries

No good intention. ```

38.

```

If you are truly

Your heart's glad soulfulness,

Your mind can harbour

No mad bitterness. ```

39.

```

My heart's spokesman

Is my sweet Supreme.

My life's only goal:

His Heart's blossomed Dream. ```

40.

```

Give no sad smiles.

Sing no sad songs.

Love all glad thoughts.

Fight all bad wrongs. ```

41.

```

Who is fond of

Animal jealousy?

Not I!

I love

God's Oneness-Ecstasy.

```

42.

```

Imagination wants to know.

Inspiration wants to flow.

Aspiration wants to grow.

Realisation wants to glow. ```

43.

```

If your heart

Is ready to grow,

Then your life

Is bound to glow. ```

44.

```

The divine in us

Always pleads.

The human in us

Rarely heeds. ```

45.

```

Since God has not ever

Abandoned you in your plight,

Can you not against ignorance

Put up a brave fight? ```

46.

```

Be the boss of your mind;

Be your own supreme boss.

You can easily conquer

Your feelings of loss. ```

47.

```

Throw aside your stupid

Self-imposed load.

Ahead of you stretches

The long delight-road. ```

48.

```

Your heart must in everything

Always prevail.

Then your life's progress-boat

Will swiftly sail. ```

49.

```

"Give me, give me!"

This is a common theme.

"Take me, take me!"

This is a fulfilling dream. ```

50.

```

Within and without

Temptation-lance.

God's Compassion-Smile

My only chance. ```

51.

```

Day and night man plays

God-forgetfulness-game,

Yet he and his mind-rogue

God's Compassion blame. ```

52.

```

Your earth-bound hunger-life

Is all confusion-night

Because your heart has lost

Its ancient oneness-light. ```

53.

```

Peace is the only joy.

I long for it, I long.

Sleepless my heart desires

To hear its fulness-song. ```

54.

```

Because you daily follow

Your mind's complication-map,

You never can escape

Earth-life's temptation-trap. ```

55.

```

Your Lord Supreme

Deserves your love,

Because He thinks

Of your life from Above. ```

56.

```

Fear not, seeker, fear not

The problems of the past!

Your silver faith in God

Will silence ignorance-knife. ```

57.

```

Surrender and surrender

All separations

For your seeker-life's

God-preparations. ```

58.

```

You suffer from terrible

Bondage-life

Because your eyes love

Desire-knife. ```

59.

```

Tolerate the foolish

Errors of man

To fulfil your life's

God-fulness-plan. ```

60.

```

Forgive the blind and weak

Human dance

To see the Lord's sweet

Compassion-Glance. ```

61.

```

What can save me,

If not my constant oneness?

What can fulfil me,

If not my surrender-fulness? ```

62.

```

Don't magnify, but purify

Your future torture.

Don't belittle, but treasure

Your faith-rapture. ```

63.

```

In vain God comes to me

Again and again.

Does it not pain His Heart?

Does it not pain? ```

64.

```

Tell me, my Lord Supreme,

Tell me,

Is my heart every day

Nearing Thee? ```

65.

```

Purity's breath today

In my heart springs.

God-Satisfaction

It measurelessly brings. ```

66.

```

Daily I ask

My obedience-mind

My Supreme's

Blessing-Light to find. ```

67.

```

O God-loving

Heart of mine,

Surrender-joy

Is your only shrine. ```

68.

```

Can you believe this truth,

Can you believe?

My mind is prepared today

Peace to receive! ```

69.

```

O give me

The silver sincerity to ask,

What is my

Task supreme, my life's only task? ```

70.

```

What is an advanced degree

In spirituality?

What else, if not the seeker-heart's

Diamond-purity? ```

71.

```

My life is in my Lord's

Sleepless Compassion-Heart-Nest.

In Him alone my life's

Surrender-gratitude-harvest. ```

72.

```

No more, no more

Stark despair-dart!

God has given me

A hope-heart-start. ```

73.

```

Because you have thrown off

Your heart's impurity-load,

You can walk today on

Eternity's ecstasy-road. ```

74.

```

Your mind-diary must be burned

By your pure heart-fire.

Only then can your God-life

Climb steadily higher. ```

75.

```

Why do you fear?

You need fear no more,

Since God Himself is standing

At your open heart-door. ```
