Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 18

17001

```

God blessingfully offers His children

Every day

Boundless rewards,

Deserved or undeserved. ```

17002

```

May my aspiration-heart

Be a surrender-throb

Of soulful prayers.

```

17003

```

There can be no better prayer

Than to love and serve

My Supreme

All my days and nights. ```

17004

```

May my heart-room

Be always ready

To welcome its Lord,

Beloved Lord,

The only Guest.

```

17005

```

My heart is bursting

With joy and pride

That I am a choice child

Of God

On this earth planet.

```

17006

```

My Lord,

I shall celebrate the victory

Of Your Compassion-Eye

In my life

Every day and every hour.

```

17007

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Most affectionately encircles

The beauty and fragrance

Of my meditation. ```

17008

```

Every day,

Before I enter into

The hustle and bustle of life,

I am blessed

With a full-hearted smile

From my soul. ```

17009

```

My Lord’s Divinity-Throne

Inside my heart

Is my Eternity’s only choice.

```

17010

```

The mind never allows us

To have

A worthy standard to maintain.

```

17011

```

My Lord,

As You have made my soul

Attractive to You,

Can You not do the same

For my heart?

```

17012

```

Alas,

I do not know what made me

Come to my heart-home

So late.

Therefore God is not available.

```

17013

```

My Lord,

Transform me totally,

So that my former self

Is nowhere to be found. ```

17014

```

If you think of God

Or pray to God

With a preconceived idea,

You will never succeed. ```

17015

```

My heart has been dying

For a long time

To get a blessingful Call

From my Master Supreme. ```

17016

```

Less is more:

Less recognition-hunger,

More perfection-mastery.

```

17017

```

My heart is jumping

With boundless joy

Because I have heard

That my Lord not only wants

To see me

But also wants to bless me. ```

17018

```

No human being correctly knows

Why he so often and so quickly falls

And why it takes such a long time

To climb back up again. ```

17019

```

Anything that takes my Lord

Away from me

Is not at all worth having.

```

17020

```

My mind-clouds

Have been dispersed

By my Lord’s

Express Arrival. ```

17021

```

Poor God has been

Hoping and hoping

That I shall have

A major breakthrough

In my spiritual progress.

```

17022

```

God does not fail

When we fail.

He immediately asks us

To sail our life-boat

Once again.

```

17023

```

In the spiritual life,

Obstinate doubts

Have no parallel.

```

17024

```

From now on, my Lord,

I shall place

My fleeting time and abiding time

At Your Compassion-Feet. ```

17025

```

I shall leave my mind

To its fate.

I shall not try to convince my mind

Any more

To pray to God and meditate on God.

```

17026

```

Be dissatisfied with name and fame.

Lo!

Who is standing right in front of you?

God Himself. ```

17027

```

The soul and the heart

Are so proud of being cradled

By God’s Arms.

Alas, the mind does not care

For that unique experience.

```

17028

```

Never take anything for granted.

Everything that God has and is

Can be won

Solely by virtue of prayers

And meditations.

```

17029

```

God uses His outstretched Arms twice:

Once at my journey’s start,

Once at my journey’s close.

```

17030

```

To me nothing is as sweet

As my prayerful and soulful service

To my Beloved Supreme.

```

17031

```

My heart’s feverish God-longing

Pains God

More than I can ever imagine.

```

17032

```

Delay not, delay not,

If you really want to please God

In His own Way.

```

17033

```

God is my God-deep,

Fragrant

Wisdom-experience-light.

```

17034

```

The human mind

Is always afraid

Of God the Magistrate

And God the Ultimate. ```

17035

```

Only a devotion-intoxicated seeker

Can enjoy

Divinity’s dreams.

```

17036

```

God-love,

God-devotion

And God-surrender

Are themselves

Their own fulfilment.

```

17037

```

Never fear failure

When God examines you.

He not only expects you to win

But also helps you to win. ```

17038

```

As God loves my heart

More than anything else,

Even so, I love God’s Feet

More than anything else. ```

17039

```

I shall not ask for anything more.

All I am asking for is

My Lord’s Compassion-Sun,

Where my whole life is basking. ```

17040

```

A true seeker

Is not afraid of

God’s frightening Eye.

```

17041

```

A true seeker

Is afraid

Only of God’s Heart-Tears.

```

17042

```

Love and devotion

Without expectation

Can definitely be achieved.

```

17043

```

Whenever and wherever I look,

A new miracle of God

Immediately blossoms.

```

17044

```

Faith is

A miracle-performer

Par excellence.

```

17045

```

Whenever God chooses,

It is impossible

To lose.

```

17046

```

Alas,

Will there ever be a day

When I will be able

To please my Lord Supreme

The way He is always eager

To manifest

The divine in me?

```

17047

```

A seeker must realise

That every second

Is a golden opportunity

To realise God,

To reveal God and to manifest God

In His own Way. ```

17048

```

He who lives in the heart

Does not have to accept

The authenticity

Of the earth-calendar. ```

17049

```

My Lord,

As I am eager to do the right thing,

Will You be also eager to help me?

“My child,

What else then have I been doing?”

```

17050

```

The mind can easily resist

If it wants to

When the forces want to pull

The mind back. ```

17051

```

Today’s self-offering

Means tomorrow’s

God-harvest.

```

17052

```

A God-enthusiasm-life

Uses

A speedy highway.

```

17053

```

A God-gratitude-heart

Is by far the best gift

That man can offer

To God. ```

17054

```

God always wants me

To remain

A perfect stranger

To the expectation-frustration-array. ```

17055

```

The doubting mind

Gets tremendous pleasure

When the aspiration-heart-river

Becomes as dry as dust. ```

17056

```

Today’s disobedience-building

Is tomorrow’s

Quick ruin.

```

17057

```

Our God-longing

Has to be irresistible.

Only then God appears.

```

17058

```

The aspiring heart

Must keep

The frustration-mind

Under arrest. ```

17059

```

We must forcefully come out of

The caverns of the past,

If we want to go into

Tomorrow’s golden Light. ```

17060

```

God does not want the Master

To repair

A disciple’s disobedience-damage.

```

17061

```

When I meditate

On God’s dreaming Feet,

I immediately become

An ignorance-night-challenger. ```

17062

```

God may tolerate

Everything undivine

Of the mind,

But not its indifference-superiority. ```

17063

```

God’s morning Heart

Every day awaits

Our God-devotion-chanting.

```

17064

```

God-Dreams flower

In my heart’s

Silence-dawn.

```

17065

```

Expectation

Is nothing short of

A setting sun.

```

17066

```

A desire-life

Quite often suffers

From loneliness-waves

In frustration-sea. ```

17067

```

My Lord continues to encourage me

To challenge ignorance-night

And conquer it once and for all.

```

17068

```

Patience-light

Is of supreme importance

To drink in nectar-delight.

```

17069

```

Once you go out of God’s

Compassion-Eye-Circle,

Life becomes utter futility.

```

17070

```

Aspire, aspire, O seeker!

One day

God’s Rose-Smile

Will grow

In your heart-garden.

```

17071

```

God hides His supreme Secrets

Only inside His Eyes

And not

Inside His Heart. ```

17072

```

Before I used to frequent

The mind-market.

Now I am a regular

Heart-garden-visitor. ```

17073

```

Alas,

When will ignorance-night

Stop destroying

The birth of God’s creation? ```

17074

```

No sweetness-smile,

No oneness-heart.

No oneness-delight,

No fulness-life. ```

17075

```

Alas,

I do not know

What instigates me

To challenge the authority

Of my God-illumination-soul.

```

17076

```

A heart-garden-dweller

Must never enter into

The mind-jungle.

```

17077

```

If I love God

More than I love ignorance,

It is not enough.

I must love only God

And nobody else.

```

17078

```

I am now a victor

In the battlefield of my life —

Not because I am most powerful,

But because my Lord

Is most bountiful.

```

17079

```

My Lord,

If You truly love me,

Then I beg of You

Not to feed even an iota

Of my desire-hunger.

```

17080

```

My Lord,

I shall never fail You.

“My child,

Why then have you stopped sailing

Your life-boat

Towards My Golden Shore?” ```

17081

```

It is not enough to memorise

God’s Obedience-Rules.

We must practise them

Every day without fail. ```

17082

```

Super heart-singers

Carry only

God-devotion-melody.

```

17083

```

God the Compassion

Has erased

My negativity-mind-tapes.

Therefore I place myself

At the Feet

Of God’s ever-increasing

Forgiveness-Light.

```

17084

```

O seeker,

Bring to the fore

Your inner heart-beauty

And radiate it. ```

17085

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is never oblivious

To the seeker’s

God-heart-tears. ```

17086

```

Each time I have

A profound meditation,

I live nearer

To my Eternity’s Home. ```

17087

```

Each and every seeker

Must sit for the ultimate

God-realisation-examination:

An unconditional God-surrender-life. ```

17088

```

The mind never goes

Beyond the boundaries

Of theoretical spirituality.

```

17089

```

Each surrender-moment

Of my life

Is a sublime God-Triumph.

```

17090

```

God does not believe

In a secret will

Or a new will.

His is His Eternity’s Will. ```

17091

```

God expects

Each and every question of His

To be answered,

Not only perfectly

But also immediately.

```

17092

```

Finally my soul

Has forcefully brought my mind

Into the orbit

Of God’s God-Fulfilment-Will. ```

17093

```

God is always delighted

To be of invaluable assistance

To my heart’s

Heaven-climbing flames. ```

17094

```

Every day

God wants me to narrate

A few stories

On my transformation-life. ```

17095

```

Heaven does not enjoy

Earth-rumour,

But it does enjoy immensely

Earth-humour. ```

17096

```

Since the very beginning

Of His universal Vision,

God has been trying

To make each human being

A perfect perfection-reality.

```

17097

```

To please God

At every moment

In His own Way

Is a constant learning process. ```

17098

```

My Lord,

No matter how bad I am,

How and why did You allow me

To fall?

Are You not suffering with me?

“My child,

I am suffering infinitely more

Than you can ever imagine!” ```

17099

```

God never appreciates

The heaviness of my head.

God ever appreciates

The lightness of my earth-existence. ```

17100

```

You should know better by now

That God has definite tasks

To perform

In and through you. ```

17101

```

Even the mind smiles

And does not frown

When it sees the eyes

Of a spiritual Master. ```

17102

```

My Lord,

When will You be satisfied

With my aspiration?

“My child,

The day you aspire, only aspire,

And expect nothing in return.” ```

17103

```

My Lord,

Do bless each and every tear

Of my broken heart.

```

17104

```

In the morning

My Lord tells me

To make my aspiration and love

Stronger. ```

17105

```

In the evening

My Lord asks me

To make my aspiration and surrender

Deeper. ```

17106

```

My Lord, I do not know how

My mind can dare to stand against You.

I want my mind to stand beside You

All the time. ```

17107

```

Like my heart,

May my head also remain

Ever at Your Feet, my Lord.

```

17108

```

My Lord,

At least this time,

Do believe in my promise.

```

17109

```

God loves me

Not because I keep succeeding,

But because I am trying.

```

17110

```

God’s Pleasure-Life

Is

My treasure-heart.

```

17111

```

When I live

In my heart only,

I live in the real God.

```

17112

```

When I live

In my mind only,

I live in the false God.

```

17113

```

When my mind and my vital

Pray soulfully,

My Lord shares with them

His own intoxicating Secrets. ```

17114

```

Since there is no such thing

As impossibility,

I shall turn my mind-jungle

Into my heart-temple. ```

17115

```

My heart,

Be always on the alert

For celestial opportunities.

```

17116

```

I empty my mind totally

To give my heart

Infinity’s Joy.

```

17117

```

There was a time when I had

A great many prayers.

But now I have only one prayer:

God’s Victory-manifestation

On earth.

```

17118

```

May my standard

Always be

My Lord’s highest Standard.

```

17119

```

I am celebrating

My Lord’s Victory-Mountain

Over my life’s ignorance-sea.

```

17120

```

God’s myriad questions

Can be answered only with

A sweeter than the sweetest smile.

```

17121

```

God’s Love for me

Is non-stop.

So is my gratitude-heart.

```

17122

```

A true God-believer

Is at once earth’s heart-beauty

And Heaven’s soul-fragrance.

```

17123

```

Take your ego-criminal

And put it

Behind bars!

```

17124

```

God wants me to win

Both the aspiration-award

And the dedication-award

Every day. ```

17125

```

You must never

Live in awe

Of your highest divinity.

```

17126

```

The latest rumour in Heaven

Is that God is not returning

From the world.

```

17127

```

God finds it extremely difficult

To appreciate

My mind-monologue.

```

17128

```

God’s Compassion-Flood

Is not something amusing

But illumining.

```

17129

```

My soul tells me that

It is beneath my dignity

To return to my desire-life.

```

17130

```

Every day I pray to God

To make me worthy

Of His Trust.

```

17131

```

God has not created

Any human being

Empty of divine qualities.

```

17132

```

It is always better

To exercise

The power of inspiration

Than the power of imagination. ```

17133

```

My heart-expansion

And my life-divinity

Always go together.

```

17134

```

God is most proudly pleased

With us

Only when we claim Him

As the only Source

Of our existence-reality-life.

```

17135

```

Alas, my self-confidence-pride

Has taken me away

From my God-reliance-joy.

```

17136

```

I do not deserve to be a seeker

If I am not eager to fulfil

Each and every Dream

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

17137

```

O my aspiration-heart,

Your cry will not end

In vain.

```

17138

```

Our hearts must rise

Infinitely higher

Than our mind-clouds.

```

17139

```

Who will awaken

My aspiration-heart?

Who will teach my heart

God-songs? ```

17140

```

To surrender to God’s Will

Unconditionally

Will be the greatest event

Of the New Millennium. ```

17141

```

God has been waiting

For such a long time

For my gratitude

To emerge. ```

17142

```

Every meditation

Has to bring us closer and closer

To God’s Will.

```

17143

```

God is astounded

At my

Stupidity-enormity.

```

17144

```

Every morning I look upward

To see a drop of peace

Descending.

```

17145

```

It is high time

For us to seriously consider

Pleasing and fulfilling God.

```

17146

```

No matter how many times I fail,

I shall not give up,

For my goal will not accept

Any defeat. ```

17147

```

In God’s Heartland,

Gratitude

Is the only currency.

```

17148

```

Like my soul,

I must exist only for

God-satisfaction.

```

17149

```

My God-obedience

Is the only

Safe investment.

```

17150

```

We come into the world

To unearth the treasures

Of Divinity’s Will.

```

17151

```

May my life be

A daily prayerful homage

To God.

```

17152

```

My mind, my vital and my body

Have exasperated my Supreme

Long enough.

```

17153

```

A happiness-heart

Knows no sign

Of fatigue.

```

17154

```

God wants me to lengthen

And strengthen

My prayer-capacity.

```

17155

```

My failure starts

When I compel God

To please me

In my own way. ```

17156

```

I must reclaim

All my

Divine qualities.

```

17157

```

Do not violate

Any spirituality-rule. ```

17158

```

Just a Smile

From my Lord Supreme

Thrills my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

17159

```

To delay obedience

Is to destroy

Aspiration.

```

17160

```

A conflict-ridden mind

Cannot practise

Spirituality.

```

17161

```

My sole purpose on this earth

Is to fulfil all God-Dreams

In and through me.

```

17162

```

My Lord is always eager

To pilot

My heart-boat.

```

17163

```

My prayer-tears

Brighten

My heart-smiles.

```

17164

```

A peaceful mind

Is a short-cut

To God-discovery.

```

17165

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To give my temptation-mind

A flat refusal. ```

17166

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Embodies

Inexhaustible Delight.

```

17167

```

Meditation is absolutely

The best friend

Of a seeker.

```

17168

```

Ego will never show

Any sign of leaving.

It is you who have to throw ego

Out of your aspiration-life. ```

17169

```

The old mind says,

“Nothing more

There is.”

```

17170

```

The young heart says,

“Every moment

Is a God-given opportunity

To learn more, ever more.” ```

17171

```

God-assertion

Is

My only satisfaction.

```

17172

```

No resistance

Means God-assistance

In my spiritual life.

```

17173

```

Every morning

I try to decorate my life

With my heart’s rainbow colours.

```

17174

```

Only a true aspiration-heart

Answers God’s Call

On the first ring.

```

17175

```

O seeker, remember,

Nothing can deprive you

Of your God-realisation-birthright.

```

17176

```

Not to believe

Is to invite

Failure.

```

17177

```

God is always ready

To feed us.

The question is,

How often are we

Hungry?

```

17178

```

Whoever is dear to my Lord

Is definitely

Dearer than the dearest

To me. ```

17179

```

A peaceful heart

Offers

A blissful fragrance.

```

17180

```

It is my Lord’s Compassion

And not His Justice

That always stays ahead of me

To guide me. ```

17181

```

As undivine forces are countless,

Even so, our will-power can be

Stronger than the strongest

To challenge and conquer

The undivine forces.

```

17182

```

Many come to love and serve

The Master.

Again, many stay,

While others, who become

Fault-finders of the Master,

Graciously disappear.

They do not leave alone.

They carry with them

The Master’s

Blessingful concern. ```

17183

```

My Lord encourages me,

Inspires me

And aspires in and through me

To challenge ignorance-night

And to conquer it

For good. ```

17184

```

God wants my heart and soul

To interrupt

My mind-monologue.

```

17185

```

Every morning and evening

God-love, God-devotion

And God-surrender-songs

Must be sung for God,

Only for God.

```

17186

```

Self-discovery-seekers

Are always favoured

By God Himself.

```

17187

```

God can lift me above despair

Only when I am eagerly ready

To love and serve God

Sleeplessly and breathlessly. ```

17188

```

The secret is totally out!

God’s Compassion-Ocean

Will not allow me to fail.

```

17189

```

The human in us

Tremendously loves

Secrecy.

```

17190

```

The divine in us

Solely loves

Sacredness.

```

17191

```

When we fail God

Repeatedly,

God is infinitely more sad

Than mad. ```

17192

```

When we fail God

Again and again,

God takes shelter

In His own withdrawal. ```

17193

```

Dedication and consecration

Do not have to be

Mere dictionary words.

They can be real.

They can be divinely beautiful

And supremely fruitful. ```

17194

```

God’s Hands

Are both powerful

And beautiful.

```

17195

```

My mind

Is fond of

God’s powerful Hands.

```

17196

```

My heart

Is fond of

God’s beautiful Hands.

```

17197

```

The human in me

Behaves well

Only when I am

In front of God. ```

17198

```

The divine in me

Behaves well everywhere,

For it knows God’s Presence

Is everywhere. ```

17199

```

I make complaints

That God does not listen to me.

Will I ever realise

That He listens to me

Infinitely more

Than I listen to Him? ```

17200

```

The mind, the vital and the body

Fail to please God

Because they do not have

Implicit faith in God. ```

17201

```

Mine is the mind

That always loves

Supremacy.

```

17202

```

Mine is the heart

That always loves

Intimacy.

```

17203

```

Mine is the life

That always loves

Secrecy.

```

17204

```

Mine is the soul

That always loves

Ecstasy.

```

17205

```

Whenever my Lord

Is near my mind,

He says to my mind,

“Be an illumination-lover.” ```

17206

```

Whenever my Lord

Is near my heart,

He says to my heart,

“Be a liberation-lover.” ```

17207

```

Whenever my Lord

Is near my life,

He says to my life,

“Be a transformation-lover.” ```

17208

```

Whenever my Lord

Is near my soul,

He says to my soul,

“Be a world-redeemer.” ```

17209

```

The mind knows how to jump

From one conclusion to another.

Alas, the truth

Is somewhere else. ```

17210

```

In vain my doubting mind

Tries to devour

My God-devotion-heart.

```

17211

```

The mind does not want to know

The difference between

Self-deception

And God-satisfaction. ```

17212

```

The resentment of the mind

Aims at strangling

The joy of the heart.

```

17213

```

I have given a new name

To my life:

A sleepless God-Arrival-expectation.

```

17214

```

Today’s beggar-mind

Tomorrow becomes

A frustration-monarch.

```

17215

```

No God-loving heart

Can be a stranger

To world-dedication-life.

```

17216

```

A devotion-heart

Is not enough.

A surrender-life

Is also needed. ```

17217

```

To our great surprise,

The mind enjoys

Non-stop ignorance-trains.

```

17218

```

The mind, the vital and the body

Can also be utterly devoted to God,

Exactly the way the heart

Has always been. ```

17219

```

May all my activities,

Inner and outer,

Be founded upon

My sleepless God-love. ```

17220

```

God tells me that

If I do not have the power

To invoke His Presence,

Then I must at least

Implore His Compassion.

```

17221

```

My Lord,

I have followed Your Footsteps

For a very long time,

But now I am all eager

To devour

The dust of Your Feet. ```

17222

```

God does not mind

My false beginnings

As long as I am ready

To try again and again

For a correct start.

```

17223

```

No matter how many times I fail,

My Lord encourages me

To start again

With a brighter smile. ```

17224

```

God is God simply because

He appreciates me

And everything that I do for Him

Infinitely more than I deserve. ```

17225

```

Jealousy

Has a secret name:

Darkest ugliness.

```

17226

```

Oneness

Has a sacred name:

God-fulness.

```

17227

```

When I ask my Master

To make me great,

My Master says,

“I am the wrong person.

Go to God.”

```

17228

```

When I ask my Master

To make me good,

He tells me,

“My child,

You have come

To the right person.” ```

17229

```

If our love is shaken

By world-criticism,

Then our love was not sincere

To start with. ```

17230

```

How to know a good seeker?

We know a good seeker

By seeing his bending knees

And extending hands. ```

17231

```

A God-loving mind

Has to be always

Extremely careful.

At any moment it can be bitten

By impurity-insects.

```

17232

```

My Lord,

As long as I have

Your Compassion-Eye,

Your Forgiveness-Heart

And

Your Protection-Feet,

I do not need anyone,

I do not need anything. ```

17233

```

My Lord does not mind,

But my soul minds

When I am not one hundred per cent

For my Lord Supreme. ```

17234

```

If I become a better person,

Mother Earth will be so happy,

Since she will be blessed

With one less undivine soul. ```

17235

```

My Lord, I bow to You

Not for my enlightenment

But for Your Fulfilment.

```

17236

```

My Lord,

I bow to You

To offer my tears

And not to expect

Your Smiles.

```

17237

```

A sleepless vigilance

Is of paramount importance

To keep ignorance

At the farthest distance. ```

17238

```

O seeker,

Not two chances

But only one chance:

Either accept God in His own Way

Or go your own way immediately.

```

17239

```

Hell is only for those

Who hunger not

For God’s Love.

```

17240

```

My Lord,

I tell You in all sincerity,

I deeply love Your Commands

And not Your Requests. ```

17241

```

My Lord,

I am ready to give

My very life to You

If You allow me to stay

One minute more

In Your

Compassion-flooded Presence.

```

17242

```

God tells

The insincere seeker:

“Now or never.”

```

17243

```

God tells

The sincere seeker:

“Here and now.”

```

17244

```

When God scolds me,

Insults me and threatens me,

I feel that He really

And unreservedly

Loves me.

```

17245

```

The answer to the problems

Of this world

Is for every one of us

To go beyond our present capacities

And become better citizens

Of the world. ```

17246

```

I have a new

And permanent address:

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart.

```

17247

```

When I need power,

I look at

My Lord’s Eye.

```

17248

```

When I need beauty,

I look at

My Lord’s Feet.

```

17249

```

When I need perfection,

Which I always do,

I enter into

My Lord’s Heart. ```

17250

```

My Lord loves me immensely

Not because I am always perfect —

Far from it —

But because I am always available. ```

17251

```

Every day

A seeker must run

On the aspiration-road

With enthusiasm-strides. ```

17252

```

God’s Protection

Entirely depends

On our receptivity.

```

17253

```

God’s Compassion-Smiles

Cradle

My heart-cries.

```

17254

```

Alas, the unaspiring mind

Can quite often masquerade

As a real seeker.

```

17255

```

The aspiration-tree

Grows high, higher, highest

When our mind is fired

With imagination. ```

17256

```

A truly godlike beauty

A child can easily

Reveal.

```

17257

```

If you truly love God,

Then you can never be afraid

Of God-rejection.

```

17258

```

Each time we cherish

Self-doubt or God-doubt,

We must realise

That it is to the detriment

Of our spiritual life.

```

17259

```

When despair sets in,

Shed tears of self-offering

To God’s Will.

```

17260

```

If the proud mind

Does not descend

To the heart-humility-life,

Then the mind is bound

To remain unhappy.

```

17261

```

O Lord, I do not want You

To invite me.

I want You to invade me,

My entire existence. ```

17262

```

If the mind wants to enjoy

Celestial joy,

Then the mind has to be flooded

With purity. ```

17263

```

Do you want to carry God

To Heavenly heights,

Or do you want poor God

To stay here on earth

With your unconsciousness

And inconscience? ```

17264

```

When jealousy walks

All over a seeker,

His demise is imminent.

```

17265

```

A seeker’s very first step

On the path

Needs readiness, willingness

And eagerness

In bountiful measure.

```

17266

```

Patience receives always

A special reward

From God:

God’s special Smile. ```

17267

```

Whenever your hopes

Are destroyed,

Try to remember

God’s Compassion-Eye and Hands

Are next door.

```

17268

```

There is no strength

As powerful

As our God-obedience-strength.

```

17269

```

I am so happy that my soul

Is extremely strict with me

And gives me no opportunity

To choose anything. ```

17270

```

God Himself

Breathes

In our self-offering heart.

```

17271

```

The heart is full of pain

When it has to observe

The mind’s usual hurricane.

```

17272

```

For a seeker,

There can be only one desire:

God-satisfaction

In God’s own Way. ```

17273

```

As my mind is in love

With God’s powerful Hands,

Even so, my heart is in love

With God’s bountiful Feet. ```

17274

```

When we use our self-offering

On a daily basis,

We increase our strength,

Inner and outer,

Unimaginably.

```

17275

```

The more I appreciate

The fragrance of my heart,

The less I shall need

The instruction of my mind. ```

17276

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Every morning descends

To awaken me

From my self-absorbed sleep. ```

17277

```

I do not know

How the mind can remain

On earth

With its fully forgotten

God-faith.

```

17278

```

Our prayer and meditation-rooms

Need sincerity-heart-flowers

More than anything else.

```

17279

```

An unconditional surrender-life

Means a perfected life

And a satisfied God.

```

17280

```

Life is too short

Not to care.

Life is too short

Not to share.

Life is too short

Not to be fair. ```

17281

```

The soul does not cry.

It only smiles,

No matter what happens to us

In our inner life. ```

17282

```

No overwhelming success

Can make us truly happy

If God’s Smile is missing.

```

17283

```

God wants us only to smile

In return

Whenever He gives something —

Nothing else. ```

17284

```

Until sincerity comes to stay

Permanently

In a seeker’s mind,

The seeker cannot cover

A long distance.

```

17285

```

Only a God-surrender-life

Can make a seeker

Invincible.

```

17286

```

The inner beauty

And the outer purity

Never doubt God.

```

17287

```

Fast, very fast,

Jealousy clips the wings

Of our happiness-heart.

```

17288

```

Every day our heart,

Mind, vital and body

Must run together

On the obedience-track. ```

17289

```

We must conquer

Our desire-assaults

By any means.

```

17290

```

Humility is something

That we desperately need.

Needless to say,

It is so rare. ```

17291

```

My Lord,

How can I be hopeful?

“My child,

Just make your heart

Prayerful.”

```

17292

```

Our oneness with the dust

Of our Lord’s Feet

Not only saves us

But also illumines us. ```

17293

```

Do not allow your Master

To weep.

He wants your aspiration-life

Never to die. ```

17294

```

When your Master comes to you,

Immediately try to do

Two things:

Let your eyes smile at your Master

And

Let your heart cry for your Master. ```

17295

```

Each soul has its own

Special way

To be of sleepless service

To God. ```

17296

```

My Master wants my heart

And my life

To sing for him.

```

17297

```

Behind every spiritual upliftment

There is always a sea

Of heart-tears.

```

17298

```

God is ready to give Himself

Countless chances

To perfect us.

Our perfection is His sleepless Task. ```

17299

```

To me, there is no difference

Between the Master’s

Severe scoldings

And his unreserved blessings. ```

17300

```

An ingratitude-mind

And an unhappiness-heart

Cannot be separated.

```

17301

```

The bravest way to live my life

Is to enjoy the beauty, purity

And divinity

Of my God-surrender-will. ```

17302

```

If we cannot throw the brooding doubts

Out of our mind,

We shall never succeed satisfactorily

In our spiritual life. ```

17303

```

May my life-boat ply between

My heart’s aspiration-dawn

And

My life’s dedication-sunrise. ```

17304

```

May God’s soul-stirring melodies

Every day resonate

In the depth of my aspiration-heart.

```

17305

```

Countless generations ago

I promised my Lord Supreme

That I would love Him only

And please Him only

In His own Way

For His full manifestation

Here on earth.

```

17306

```

O my mind, never miss

Any God-obedience

Or God-surrender-meetings.

```

17307

```

I ask my heart every day

To use its silence-divinity

To welcome

Our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

17308

```

How I wish at every moment

My life to be protected,

My heart to be cherished

And my thoughts to be nourished

By God Himself!

```

17309

```

A negativity-mind destroys

The beauty of our heart

Long before

We can be well aware of it. ```

17310

```

To purify my mind completely,

I need only one thing:

My Lord’s constant

Forgiveness-Assurance. ```

17311

```

God can at times

Be deadly serious,

Although our mind

Does not believe it. ```

17312

```

Each time our heart

Surrenders to God’s Will,

God blesses us with greater

Manifestation-opportunities. ```

17313

```

May my God-gratitude-life

Be wreathed in

My God-satisfaction-smiles.

```

17314

```

God

Loves to talk

To my readiness-mind.

```

17315

```

God

Loves to sing

With my willingness-life.

```

17316

```

God

Loves to dance

With my eagerness-heart.

```

17317

```

I weep and weep

To see

God’s Face.

```

17318

```

God weeps and weeps

To see

My heart’s smile.

```

17319

```

Not by scolding ourselves

For our teeming weaknesses

Can we transform our lives,

No.

We can transform our lives

Only by placing them

At the Compassion-flooded Feet

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

17320

```

I must become once more

The child of my God-fulness-soul,

The child of my aspiration-heart,

The child of my inspiration-mind

And finally,

The child of my dedication-life. ```

17321

```

Today I have closed

My ignorance-mind-book

Forever.

```

17322

```

Every day I shall open

My God-obedience-book

And read a new page.

```

17323

```

My God-realisation-dream

My Lord every day

Blessingfully and proudly

Cradles. ```

17324

```

I have only one home

And that home is

My love of God.

```

17325

```

Each new experience

In my heart

Reveals a new way

To love God. ```

17326

```

May my God-obedience

Remain always

Active and dynamic.

```

17327

```

God never cares for

My mind-justification.

He only cares for

My heart-aspiration. ```

17328

```

My Lord,

May I remain cheerful

On Eternity’s Road

While singing Your Victory-Song. ```

17329

```

My mind and my vital

Have finally agreed

To cooperate with my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Will. ```

17330

```

My self-giving life

Is

A God-embracing heart.

```

17331

```

Every day God wants me

To study

At His own Self-Offering-School.

```

17332

```

Our love of God

Is our only treasure

Worth cherishing.

```

17333

```

My soul has been surprising me

With its infinite compassion.

Now is the time for me

To surprise my soul

With my aspiration.

```

17334

```

If we truly love God,

Then we are bound

To envision

Our Lord’s supreme Victory. ```

17335

```

Peace

Is in

My stillness-mind.

```

17336

```

Bliss

Is in

My fulness-heart.

```

17337

```

I never knew

That it would be

Such an easy task

To clean out

My cluttered mind-closet.

```

17338

```

The ticking of the life-clock

Causes fear

In the unaspiring life.

```

17339

```

The ticking of the life-clock

Encourages and inspires

The brave souls

To run faster than the fastest

Towards their destined Goal.

```

17340

```

One more

Heavenly triumph,

One less

Earthly problem. ```

17341

```

Alas, there are very few

Human beings on earth

Who subscribe to God’s

Heart-Magazine. ```

17342

```

The indifferent mind

Does not know

That there is also

An indifferent God. ```

17343

```

No matter how hard we try

To read God’s Mind,

We sadly fail.

But the moment we try

To read God’s Heart,

We immediately succeed. ```

17344

```

A surrendered God-lover

Can electrify thousands

Of God-seeker-hearts.

```

17345

```

If you simply pretend

To pray and meditate,

God also can pretend

To smile and bless. ```

17346

```

When we conquer

An uncomely thought,

It automatically becomes

A God-Victory-day. ```

17347

```

God will prove to you

That He is all for you

If you spare no effort

To improve yourself. ```

17348

```

I am extremely proud

And fond

Of my Lord’s surprise

Wake-up Calls. ```

17349

```

God becomes dear,

Extremely dear to us,

Only when we fly

Far beyond the domain

Of fear.

```

17350

```

When the questioning mind

Hears God’s Messages,

It just runs away.

```

17351

```

When the aspiring heart

Hears God’s Messages,

It dances in ecstasy.

```

17352

```

Help can be divine and perfect

Only when

It is given unsolicited.

```

17353

```

My Lord,

May my very love for You

Give You an iota of

Fulfilment-joy. ```

17354

```

The mind

Loves itself

All the time.

```

17355

```

The heart

Loves itself

Only when it pleases God.

```

17356

```

Where is my Master’s beauty,

If not in his

Heaven-climbing eye?

```

17357

```

Where is my Master’s power,

If not in his

World-serving heart?

```

17358

```

I go to God

To tell Him

My life’s success-stories.

```

17359

```

God comes to me

To hear from me

My heart’s progress-songs.

```

17360

```

Activity in any field

Is an antidote

To despair.

```

17361

```

If you dare

To fail,

You are bound

To succeed. ```

17362

```

Success needs tremendous

And endless

Effort.

```

17363

```

Progress needs Grace,

Ceaseless Grace

From Above.

```

17364

```

If we are not pure

In our minds,

Spiritual progress

Does not last permanently. ```

17365

```

Today’s imagination-sky

Will be flooded

With tomorrow’s sunshine.

```

17366

```

If you attempt the impossible,

Your improvement

Is bound to blossom.

```

17367

```

Newness and happiness

Always complement

Each other.

```

17368

```

At times

Prosperity likes to hide

Inside adversity.

```

17369

```

A happiness-heart

Flies always

Higher than the highest.

```

17370

```

O seeker,

Be always prepared

To set fire

To your desire-tent. ```

17371

```

Enthusiasm is beautiful,

Enthusiasm is powerful,

Enthusiasm is fruitful

When it is found inside

Our life-breath.

```

17372

```

When the Grace descends,

The endless rounds of blunders

Can be either erased

Or illumined. ```

17373

```

What is a challenge,

If not a real friend

In disguise

To strengthen us? ```

17374

```

No obstacle

Has an everlasting

Breath.

```

17375

```

The human mind

Haughtily enjoys

Revolution.

```

17376

```

The divine heart

Lovingly enjoys

Evolution.

```

17377

```

The secret is out:

God Himself

Has been preparing me inwardly

For a new start

To reach the Destination.

```

17378

```

When your heart is

Constant self-giving,

Happiness is bound to run

Towards you. ```

17379

```

My mind and I chose

Self-glory.

My heart and I chose

Self-discovery. ```

17380

```

Alas, I do not know

When I shall start playing

My God-satisfaction-game.

```

17381

```

Alas,

Will I ever stop playing

My God-deception-game?

```

17382

```

I love to see

God’s Face.

God loves to measure

My heart. ```

17383

```

Think of the very first day

You accepted the spiritual life.

Immediately you will get back

Your intensity, your purity,

Your love of God.

```

17384

```

I am determined to celebrate

God’s Victory,

Not only every day

But at every moment. ```

17385

```

Each good thought

Has an unbelievable capacity

To strengthen

Our God-oneness-heart. ```

17386

```

God gives us

Not only the capacity

But also the opportunity

To create a new world

In our heart-home.

```

17387

```

Aspiration dissolves

The boundaries

Between the dream-world

And the reality-world. ```

17388

```

May everything that I say

Proceed

From my Lord’s Eye.

```

17389

```

May everything that I do

Proceed

From my Lord’s Heart.

```

17390

```

From a spiritual standpoint,

Jealousy and insecurity

Are two types

Of malignant cancer. ```

17391

```

The mind usually

Loves to read

Its own philosophy

And not the philosophies

Written by others.

```

17392

```

Do not criticise the world.

Be not a fool.

Just love the world a little more.

Be a man of wisdom. ```

17393

```

If you do not have the capacity

For compassion,

Then a perfection-life

Shall always remain

A far cry.

```

17394

```

The mind always exaggerates

Its contribution

To God’s world-transformation-fund.

```

17395

```

Our God-manifestation-

Commitments

God dearly treasures.

```

17396

```

Divinity’s slow, steady

And unerring unfoldment

Is of paramount importance.

```

17397

```

Truth

Never strangles me.

It only liberates me.

```

17398

```

My morning begins

With my God-gratitude-

Invocation.

```

17399

```

My evening ends

With my God-surrender-

Prayers.

```

17400

```

The desire-hunger

Remains

Insatiable.

```

17401

```

My God-surrender-highway

Knows

No speed limits.

```

17402

```

My heart’s God-devotion-tears

Are nestled in my Lord’s

Own Heart-Home.

```

17403

```

May each thought of mine

Come from the sunshine

Of my heart’s love.

```

17404

```

If we are genuine

God-Feet-supplicants,

Then we are bound

To succeed. ```

17405

```

The mind’s iron obstructions

On the way to my Lord’s Palace

Cannot last for long.

```

17406

```

May each thought of my mind

Shine

With sparkling beauty.

```

17407

```

God wants my life-river

To have only

Purity-water.

```

17408

```

What is doubt,

If not

A world-strangling attitude

Of our mind? ```

17409

```

Up until now,

I have been following

My turbulent mind-current.

From now on,

I shall only follow

My peaceful heart-current. ```

17410

```

Our heart-tears

Are God’s most reliable

Alarms.

```

17411

```

A sincere seeker,

When he forgets to pray

And meditate,

Is forced to suffer

A typhoon of self-doubts.

```

17412

```

When I want to supply God

With rumour,

He immediately shuts

His Eye and Ear. ```

17413

```

When I supply God

With humour,

He opens wide

His Eye and Ear. ```

17414

```

God wants me to sail

Every day

On the aspiration-river

Of bliss. ```

17415

```

God tells me

That my gratitude-heart

Is His Heavenly host.

```

17416

```

Each time I surrender my will

To God’s Will,

God invites me to participate

In His mountaintop celebrations. ```

17417

```

He who gives an iota

Of what he has

Is an unfortunate giver.

```

17418

```

He who gives himself

Unreservedly and unconditionally

Is a God-Satisfaction-Pride.

```

17419

```

Each seeker must keep always

A burning faith

If he wants to succeed and proceed,

Proceed and succeed

In his spiritual life.

```

17420

```

My Lord enjoys my bravery

And not

My slavery.

```

17421

```

God laughs twice:

Once when my mind says

It does not,

Once when my heart says

It cannot.

```

17422

```

If you do not relinquish

All your mind’s doubt-darts,

Your soul will not care for you

Even for a fleeting second. ```

17423

```

Just give a little smile.

It will enrich you

And not hurt you.

```

17424

```

When I imagine God’s Feet

Upon my heart,

God tells me that nothing

Can be more real than that. ```

17425

```

God has only

One home:

Humanity’s heart.

```

17426

```

As I see God’s Smile

In His Eye,

Even so, I feel God-Tears

Inside my heart. ```

17427

```

If your Beloved Supreme

Is your All,

Then do you need anything else

From anybody else? ```

17428

```

Do not waver!

Immediately do the right thing,

Be the right person.

```

17429

```

My mind-sanity

Is possible

Because of

My heart-sincerity. ```

17430

```

My heart and I are always

On duty

For God’s express Commands.

```

17431

```

My Lord, I wish to be completely

Your Heart-creation

And no longer remain as

My mind-creation. ```

17432

```

Only new creations

Give God

True satisfaction.

```

17433

```

My life runs

For God’s

Summit-Joy.

```

17434

```

My heart sprints

For God’s

Transcendental Pride.

```

17435

```

Not when my eyes are ready,

But when my heart is ready

To greet God,

Then God descends. ```

17436

```

God wants me to participate

In His self-transcendence-

Olympic Games.

```

17437

```

Every day God expects me

To offer Him

My heart’s aspiration-flames

In abundant measure. ```

17438

```

I want to see

God’s Forgiveness-Feet,

But God wants me to see

His Compassion-Eye. ```

17439

```

I do not know why I fail

Again and again

When I try to tell God

That I love Him only

And I need Him only.

```

17440

```

God’s Commands

Unmistakably frighten

My mind.

```

17441

```

God’s Commands

Immediately thrill

My heart.

```

17442

```

God has told me

Repeatedly

That He wants me

To change my lifestyle

Completely.

```

17443

```

My Lord tells me

That no matter how small

My gifts are,

He does not mind,

As long as my heart

Remains big. ```

17444

```

God tells us what to do

Only when He feels

That we are ready

To listen to Him. ```

17445

```

My heart wants to grow

Only where it is sown

By God Himself.

```

17446

```

We cannot proceed with certainty

Unless we have God-love-sincerity

In our spiritual life.

```

17447

```

Intensity-will-power we need

At every moment

To conquer the undivine in us.

```

17448

```

To have a divine thought

Is to walk upon

A rose-petal carpet.

```

17449

```

What is life,

If not

An imperfection-downpour?

```

17450

```

If we do not regularly

Pray and meditate

To satisfy God,

Then we have to face wild

Dissatisfaction-vital-attacks.

```

17451

```

I want to be

In God’s sleepless

Self-offering-army.

```

17452

```

My meditation

Is

My aspiration-life-reward.

```

17453

```

A purity-heart is the permit

To enter into

The kingdom of Light.

```

17454

```

God wants me at every moment

To live inside

The heart-castle of Light.

```

17455

```

Every day

God blessingfully comes down

And nurtures my heart-plant.

```

17456

```

Criticise the world —

Everybody can do it!

Sympathise with the world —

I stop counting

Even before I start!

```

17457

```

Hesitation,

Leave me alone!

Aspiration,

May I be allowed

To be with you alone!

```

17458

```

Each aspiration-day

Blesses us

With a galaxy

Of God-satisfaction-opportunities. ```

17459

```

God’s Eye smiles

Even long before

The God-seeker seeks

And

The God-lover loves.

```

17460

```

When I sing the song of humility

For God,

God dances the dance of Infinity

For me. ```

17461

```

My Lord Supreme,

If You really love me,

Then scold me every day

As long as You can. ```

17462

```

When I do not obey my Lord,

I immediately feel the pangs

From God’s complete withdrawal.

```

17463

```

Devotion is, indeed,

A higher learning

In the inner world.

```

17464

```

My gratitude-heart

Is the greatest

Of all God-fulfilling

Opportunities. ```

17465

```

If you work soulfully

And devotedly

With a oneness-heart,

You will become the dear,

Dearer, dearest instrument

Of God,

And God will be infinitely

More proud of you

Than you can ever imagine.

```

17466

```

Every moment God wants me

To create

A newness-tear for Him.

```

17467

```

Every moment I beg God

To create

A Fulness-Smile for me.

```

17468

```

All our crimes disappear

The moment God looks out of

His Compassion-Window.

```

17469

```

My surrender-life

And the dust of God’s Feet

Have become

Inseparable friends. ```

17470

```

I am not fully satisfied

When I touch God’s Feet.

I am fully satisfied

Only when

The dust of God’s Feet

Blesses me most powerfully. ```

17471

```

God has taken up new headquarters.

He does not live any more

Inside my mind-jungle.

From now on, He wants to live

Only inside my heart-garden.

```

17472

```

All good thoughts

Are perfect

God-manifestation-possibilities.

```

17473

```

My surrender-heart is always

Well protected

By God’s Protection-Tower.

```

17474

```

God allows only a true devotee

To play with Him

All the time.

```

17475

```

God does not want

To punish us

By fulfilling

All our desires. ```

17476

```

How to open Heaven’s Door?

Just open up your own

Heart-door.

Heaven’s Door

Will automatically open.

```

17477

```

A purity-mind

Is bound to see purity

Everywhere.

```

17478

```

My purity-mind, gratitude-heart

And surrender-life

Discover God long before

Anybody else. ```

17479

```

God speaks and speaks,

Yet He fails to convince

Our mind

That He will keep

His Promise.

```

17480

```

God’s Laughter is not something

To joke about.

It is a serious matter.

```

17481

```

God Himself wants to be

Banished

From the mind’s room.

```

17482

```

A gratitude-heart is least known

On earth,

But it is best loved in Heaven.

```

17483

```

My God-surrender-smile

Is

The most effective way

Of pleasing and fulfilling God. ```

17484

```

How will a godless mind

Ever understand

A Godful heart?

```

17485

```

A God-gratitude-heart

Is the meaning

Of a seeker’s true life.

```

17486

```

Ignorance-night shall receive

A severe shock

When it sees I am swimming

In the sea of wisdom-light. ```

17487

```

Obedience is an integral part

Of God’s

All-pervading Will.

```

17488

```

My heart is all the time

In touch

With God’s all-seeing Will.

```

17489

```

My heart every day

Prepares itself

For God’s Will to enter

And illumine my heart. ```

17490

```

Ultimately, our desire-life

Leaves us alone

For us to fulfil ourselves

In God’s own Way. ```

17491

```

We must please God

As quickly and as perfectly

As we treasure our hope.

```

17492

```

My self-doubting mind

Has become

A profound shock to me.

```

17493

```

Eagerness I have imported

From God’s

Summit-Heaven-Height.

```

17494

```

Ecstasy does not have to belong

Only to Heaven-Smiles;

It can belong also

To earth-cries. ```

17495

```

My soul’s boundless smiles

And

My heart’s endless tears

Are on the same footing. ```

17496

```

Do not add your burden

To God’s.

On the contrary,

Invite God to unburden

His Burden

In front of you. ```

17497

```

God does not know

How to relax,

For sleepless dynamism

Has become

His sleepless friend.

```

17498

```

My God-obedience

Is the foundation

Of my God-satisfaction-tower.

```

17499

```

At God’s choice Hour

Moderation cannot help us.

It is one-pointed eagerness

That helps us. ```

17500

```

Once we make

Our complete surrender

To God’s Will,

We must realise that there is

No going back.

```

17501

```

What is a desire-bound life,

If not an infinite number

Of insoluble problems?

```

17502

```

May my life be

An ever-flowing

Enthusiasm-river.

```

17503

```

Every morning

I read, prayerfully and soulfully,

Two books:

My God-obedience-book

And

My God-surrender-book. ```

17504

```

When I satisfy God,

He justifies me

In everything that I do

And say. ```

17505

```

My only home

Is my sleepless love

Of God.

```

17506

```

There is no difference

Between a self-giving life

And a God-embracing heart.

```

17507

```

I surprise my soul

By saying

That I am all ready.

```

17508

```

God astonishes me

By telling me that I am

A supremely chosen instrument

Of God. ```

17509

```

Whenever God gives us something,

We must treasure it

And never measure it.

```

17510

```

How will your Master relish

Your heart

If you cannot cherish

His scoldings? ```

17511

```

May my God-love

Remain untouched

And unperturbed

By time. ```

17512

```

Earth

Is the birthplace

Of God-hero-warriors.

```

17513

```

Heaven

Is the birthplace

Of God-Dream-lovers.

```

17514

```

Each God-seeker

Has to be very careful:

At any moment his vital-volcano

May erupt. ```

17515

```

God’s Smile

Is most powerful

When He meets with

A faithful life. ```

17516

```

The mind-chains

Fetter us

Secretly and invisibly.

```

17517

```

May my aspiration-stars

Twinkle

Even in my desire-clouded sky.

```

17518

```

When we surrender

Our very existence to God’s Will,

We are blessed

With a God-protected life

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

17519

```

The mind vehemently

Discards God

When it is displeased.

```

17520

```

The heart is always prepared

To receive God,

No matter what happens.

```

17521

```

An enthusiasm-boat

Never remains remote

From God-Destination.

```

17522

```

Purity is the queen

Of the heart’s

Inner beauty.

```

17523

```

God does not care for

My mind’s secret thoughts

At all.

```

17524

```

God cares only for

My heart’s

Sacred feelings.

```

17525

```

Is there any human being

Who is not a beggar

At God’s Forgiveness-Gate?

```

17526

```

I walk with my Lord Supreme,

Following the dust

Of His Feet.

```

17527

```

Two smiles meet —

My soul’s giant smile

And

My life’s dwarf smile —

Happily and proudly.

```

17528

```

God every day

Does His routine Work:

He comes down to wipe my heart-tears

And remove my mind-worries. ```

17529

```

The human in me

Asks the divine in me

To show the way

To God. ```

17530

```

The divine in me

Asks the human in me

To remain always

At the Feet of God. ```

17531

```

My heart’s God-affirmation

Is my life’s only

Perfection-satisfaction.

```

17532

```

Alas, is there no way for me

To escape

My harried and worried

Mind-prison? ```

17533

```

I have made my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye

My only outer world.

```

17534

```

I have made my Lord’s

Forgiveness-Heart

My only inner world.

```

17535

```

To feel your Master’s grace,

Try not to see his face

But to feel his heart.

```

17536

```

If we do not destroy

Our desire-life-tree,

We shall never be able to fly

In ecstasy’s sky. ```

17537

```

May my gratitude-heart

Always keep God

In closest proximity.

```

17538

```

No message

Of the Master

Can ever be trivial.

```

17539

```

If I constantly keep my eye

On my progress-life,

Only then can I be

Truly happy. ```

17540

```

When I weep and pray

From my heart,

I immediately find myself

In God’s Heart-Temple. ```

17541

```

I know nothing else

And I want to know nothing else

Save and except my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Breath. ```

17542

```

Spirituality

Does not believe in

A Master’s degree.

```

17543

```

Spirituality

Believes only in

The Master’s decree.

```

17544

```

In one fleeting second

God can change our life,

But we must be sincere:

Are we really ready? ```

17545

```

To fly beyond all horizons,

God tells me to offer Him

Either my heart-tears

Or my soul-smiles

In abundant measure.

```

17546

```

When I live in my heart,

I assume a new name:

My heart-ecstasy.

```

17547

```

When I live in my mind,

I assume a new name:

My mind-fantasy.

```

17548

```

When I live in my vital,

I assume a new name:

My vital-supremacy.

```

17549

```

When I live in my body,

I assume a new name:

My body-lethargy.

```

17550

```

The signpost

Of my heart-gate runs,

“God for God’s sake —

Always.” ```

17551

```

Ignorance-night is

By nature

Ruthless.

```

17552

```

Since the merciful Lord

Is welcoming you,

Can you not give Him

A cheerful response? ```

17553

```

My life is now a glowing

And not a drowning promise

To my Lord Supreme.

```

17554

```

When I keep my heart-room

Immaculate,

God blesses me with a new face

And a new fate. ```

17555

```

Unlike the aspiring heart,

The clever mind

Is never at a loss for words.

```

17556

```

This time I must listen to God

And immediately declare war

Against ignorance-night.

```

17557

```

If you want to win

God’s Compassion and Concern,

Let your God-surrender-heart

Guide you and lead you. ```

17558

```

What I need

Is

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

17559

```

What God needs

Is

My volcano-promise-life.

```

17560

```

Just a little

Of the soul’s illumination

Washes away

All the undivine things

We have done.

```

17561

```

May the inner storm

Subside

As quickly as possible.

```

17562

```

Uninvoked,

God comes to visit

My unprepared mind-room.

```

17563

```

I am always hungry

For God’s each and every

Nectar-Utterance.

```

17564

```

My heart is overflowing with joy

Today.

I know not for what reason,

But it is absolutely true. ```

17565

```

God loves to chat

With the humility-heart

Of humanity,

But not with the pride-mind

Of humanity.

```

17566

```

May humanity one day flock

To God’s Bliss-flooded

Destination.

```

17567

```

I am sleeplessly hungry

For my Lord’s

Nectar-Breath-Fragrance.

```

17568

```

No matter how many times

I meet with God,

Each time I am spellbound

By His Lotus-Feet. ```

17569

```

God is always happy

To give me

His invaluable Advice,

But my mind and vital

Are always reluctant

To accept it. ```

17570

```

We must please God’s Heart,

God’s Eye and God’s Feet

As promptly as possible.

```

17571

```

Do not wait for ignorance

To stop

Its ferocious attacks.

```

17572

```

Everybody can sail freely

And also safely

In the sea of imagination.

```

17573

```

The heart-cries will succeed

In winning

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

17574

```

Nobody can row his life-boat

Across the sea of ignorance

Unless God Himself provides

The oars. ```

17575

```

If you dare to fail,

Then you are already

One step ahead

Towards your achievement. ```

17576

```

If you want improvement-joy,

Then do not be afraid

Of impossibility.

```

17577

```

Adversity

Unveils

Progress-reality.

```

17578

```

Success loves

Newness.

Progress loves

Oneness. ```

17579

```

May my heart’s happiness-kite

Every day fly high

In God’s Compassion-Sky.

```

17580

```

Finally

I have set fire

To my desire-mind-building.

```

17581

```

Enthusiasm has to be invoked

Every day

Into our life-breath.

```

17582

```

There is always a yawning gulf

Between

Professing and performing.

```

17583

```

For a non-seeker,

Life is nothing

But endless rounds

Of blunders. ```

17584

```

Every day

We must begin our day

With a new God-fulfilling

Longing. ```

17585

```

Challenges are not

Our unavoidable enemies.

They are

Our veritable friends. ```

17586

```

Once you bring to the fore

Your wisdom-light,

Then you can keep ignorance-night

In prison forever. ```

17587

```

Our heart’s aspiration

And

Our life’s dedication

Can easily determine

Our tomorrow.

```

17588

```

My Lord Supreme

Has only one Message for me:

Meditate

To discover yourself. ```

17589

```

My soul

Has only one message for me:

Unveil yourself

For God-fulfilment. ```

17590

```

Because you have shown

Your longing for world peace,

You have opened up the door

For others

Who long for spiritual progress.

```

17591

```

The secret is out!

The clever mind

Wanted to fool God —

An impossible task. ```

17592

```

I do not know how

Any critical mind

Can have the nerve

To ruthlessly criticise

God.

```

17593

```

May

My mind-quantity

Smile at God.

```

17594

```

May

My heart-quality

Sit at the Feet

Of God. ```

17595

```

Only two responsibilities

We have here on earth:

God-realisation

And

God-manifestation.

```

17596

```

Will the human mind

Ever be tired of playing

God-deception-games?

```

17597

```

My total submission

To God’s Will

Brings in immediately

God’s Compassion-Eye

And Affection-Heart.

```

17598

```

My life breathes between

My Lord’s helping Hands

And His protecting Feet.

```

17599

```

When God asks the mind

To do something for Him,

The mind immediately says,

“Why?

Why should I?

What is the purpose?” ```

17600

```

When God asks the heart

To do something for Him,

The heart immediately says,

“How kind of You, my Lord.

I am doing it.

Lo, I have done it.” ```

17601

```

Each act of selfless service

Is

Its own reward.

```

17602

```

The morning winging birds

Invite us to accompany them

To the highest Heaven.

```

17603

```

I live only when

I live within.

I die when

I look around. ```

17604

```

You must trust yourself,

Even when the whole world

Doubts you.

```

17605

```

If you want to reach the goal,

Never, never be tired

Of waiting.

```

17606

```

Be not afraid

Of any disaster

If you expect triumph

In your life. ```

17607

```

Nothing is

As powerful

As forgiveness.

```

17608

```

A noble deed

Is a giant step

Towards God.

```

17609

```

Be not a fool!

The highest Heaven

Cannot be reached

At a single leap. ```

17610

```

Give your ears

To each and everyone,

But give your voice

Only to a few. ```

17611

```

Enthusiasm

Always guarantees

Spiritual progress.

```

17612

```

The oneness-heart-speed

Can accomplish

Each and everything on earth.

```

17613

```

Everything may fail,

But not the God-Smile in us,

For it will always prevail.

```

17614

```

Sing, sing!

You are the one to quench

The world-peace-thirst.

```

17615

```

The human in us cries and cries.

The divine in us smilingly

And compassionately beckons.

```

17616

```

I feel I am all ready

For God-surrender,

But I know only God

Really knows. ```

17617

```

My God-pleasing heart

Is my own divinity’s

Life-breath.

```

17618

```

My devotion-eyes have won

Both God’s Tears

And God’s Smiles.

```

17619

```

I have only one mantra:

My Master will never

Forsake me.

```

17620

```

There is only one reality:

We all belong

To our Source.

```

17621

```

The mind deliberately

Wants to remain ignorant

Of the heart’s

Himalayan achievements. ```

17622

```

The more you value

Your personal capacity,

The farther your God-dependency

Will disappear. ```

17623

```

Finally my mind

Is interested

In my Lord’s Happiness.

```

17624

```

God’s Joy and Pride

Know no bounds

When He sees

A supremely devoted soul. ```

17625

```

The mind’s uncomeliness

Is the farthest distance

From Heaven.

```

17626

```

My heart is a blank page

For my Lord Supreme

To write on.

```

17627

```

If you are God-oriented,

Do not waste time in erasing

Your past disgrace-activities.

```

17628

```

My soul came and told my heart

That if it is true compassion,

It needs to be compassionate

To peace-activities. ```

17629

```

Self-transcendence means

Self-expansion

In every way.

```

17630

```

We must make the most

Of each moment

When we are with

Our Master-Lord. ```

17631

```

Be cheerful

On Eternity’s Road

To God-realisation.

```

17632

```

There shall come a time

When ignorance will not be able

To deliver any blow

To my heart and life. ```

17633

```

A self-giving heart

Is

An all-embracing life.

```

17634

```

Do not allow your mind

Ever to be infested

With negativity-thoughts.

```

17635

```

I shall never allow my life

To be fettered

By invisible chains.

```

17636

```

No other joy

Is as meaningful and powerful

As the self-giving joy.

```

17637

```

I can do nothing without

My Lord’s Compassion-flooded

Personal Assistance.

```

17638

```

If we shake hands with opportunity,

Eventually we are bound to reach

Our highest height.

```

17639

```

Each time God hears

That our hearts have made

Considerable progress

In the inner life,

God weeps with joy.

```

17640

```

A God-guarded life

Will never be happy

When devotion-tears are missing.

```

17641

```

To love God sleeplessly

Is no extravagance

In my spiritual life.

```

17642

```

If we are true seekers,

Then we must at once

Offer God a lifelong “Yes!”

```

17643

```

The mind-doubters

Are

The heart-torturers.

```

17644

```

I can go forward

Only when my forward steps

Are assured by God Himself.

```

17645

```

Nothing significant

Can come into existence

From mere wishing.

```

17646

```

Ankle-deep doubt-water

Can cancel the seeker’s

Godward journey.

```

17647

```

I have made

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

My only world.

```

17648

```

We all must cling to hopes

Until we breathe

Our very last.

```

17649

```

If you are bound hand and foot

To the material world

While pretending to be

A true seeker,

Then you are fooling yourself.

```

17650

```

There is no special right moment.

Every moment is the right moment

To please your Master.

```

17651

```

My sweet Lord,

You are my whole world,

You are my only world.

```

17652

```

My sweet Lord,

Do not allow my spiritual life

To come down into the world

Of ignorance-life. ```

17653

```

O insecurity-rogue,

You are doing a tremendous injustice

To my aspiration-heart.

```

17654

```

My restless mind

Never recognises

The temptation-world as such.

```

17655

```

May my humility-life

Live in the heart

Of my devotion.

```

17656

```

The Godward march

Is never for the weak —

Never!

```

17657

```

My Lord, I am praying to You

Only for one thing:

Do bless me with Your Protection-Feet

All the time. ```

17658

```

Whenever God speaks

To the surrendered souls,

He talks for a very, very long time.

```

17659

```

Spiritually dead human beings

Have a world of their own:

Desire-world.

```

17660

```

May my heart’s

Sleepless surrender-steps

Spread around the whole world.

```

17661

```

May my dedication-life

Be full of

God-manifestation-hopes.

```

17662

```

He who aspires

Knows well

That desire-tears are useless.

```

17663

```

In vain my mind tries

To steal away

The wisdom-fountain

Of my heart. ```

17664

```

Whenever there is

An ignorance-farewell party,

The mind is absent,

For the mind wants to live

In ignorance.

```

17665

```

My Lord, when will I see

My aspiration-heart

Right beside

Your Compassion-Heart? ```

17666

```

A gratitude-heart

Embodies sweetness

Far beyond our imagination.

```

17667

```

Every day God examines

The beauty of my life

And the fragrance of my heart.

```

17668

```

Alas, I do not know

How my life has become

A militant wave of ignorance-sea.

```

17669

```

Let happiness be the king

In our inner life of aspiration

And our outer life of dedication.

```

17670

```

If you leave behind

Peace-fragrance on earth,

Rest assured the future world

Will be immensely benefited. ```

17671

```

Every day I receive peace.

Needless to say,

The source is my peace-fountain-soul.

```

17672

```

Even in the thickest

Ignorance-night,

There shall be a few hope-stars.

```

17673

```

Falsehood-lovers

And ignorance-nights

Are intimate friends.

```

17674

```

God asks the sincere seekers

Not to hide

Their flaming aspiration.

```

17675

```

Alas,

My peace of mind

Loves to be missing.

```

17676

```

The mind, by nature,

Does not invite a particular visitor:

Peace.

```

17677

```

A surrender-life

Will eventually be crowned

With Infinity’s Joy.

```

17678

```

Ignorance can sleep

Anywhere it wants to,

But its favourite place

Is in desire. ```

17679

```

Truth smiles

When we take

Justice-exercises.

```

17680

```

The life-transforming fate

Needs only one thing:

Detachment indomitable.

```

17681

```

God the Eye

May go back on His Word,

But God the Heart,

Never! ```

17682

```

A truth-seeker

Has to be as perfect

As his inner faith.

```

17683

```

God wants His lovers

To be God-servers as well

For their perfection.

```

17684

```

No matter how many times

We see God,

Our words fail us

At the very sight of our Lord Supreme. ```

17685

```

Our heart-actions speak

Much louder than

Our mind-words.

```

17686

```

A God-lover may not want to be

A man of the world,

But he has to be

A man for the world. ```

17687

```

My Lord,

I have a new desire:

I wish to be a golden child

Of Your New Millennium. ```

17688

```

Surrender ends

The moment the mind

Becomes the ruler.

```

17689

```

Never hesitate

On the aspiration-road

That leads to God-realisation.

```

17690

```

Enthusiasm has to pervade

A true seeker

All the way to his destination.

```

17691

```

When the mind

Does not want to exit,

Force the mind,

For there is no other way. ```

17692

```

The mind does not realise

That one day catastrophe

Will catch its boat.

```

17693

```

Gratitude loves to grow

In the heartland

Of faith.

```

17694

```

Every day

My Lord comes into my heart-garden

To bless it and tend it.

```

17695

```

My heart-wings fly

High, very high,

And bring down dreams

From Above. ```

17696

```

My soul and my heart take shelter

Only in our Lord’s

Compassion-Heart-Nest.

```

17697

```

The mind knows well

What enemies are.

Therefore,

It sees them everywhere. ```

17698

```

The heart does not know

What an enemy is.

Therefore

The heart knows no enemy. ```

17699

```

A complication-life

Is

A frustration-mind.

```

17700

```

When I love God and serve God,

Immediately I hear the murmur

Of multiple happy voices

Inside my heart. ```

17701

```

There is no serious spirituality

Involved

In wandering to see

Things of wonder. ```

17702

```

Alas, why do I waste my breath

In telling the world

What is right and what is wrong?

```

17703

```

When we do not aspire,

We are assailed at random

By the arrows of fate.

```

17704

```

God and I every day

Whisper

Our wishful hopes.

```

17705

```

Once you have taken

Human incarnation,

You cannot be exempt

From God’s Justice-Light. ```

17706

```

Alas, will I ever be able

To sing

World-detachment-songs?

```

17707

```

If you are indifferent

To the world’s needs,

God will be indifferent

To your heart’s deeds. ```

17708

```

Without Grace,

Anything that you do

Is a blind and fruitless

Attempt. ```

17709

```

My Lord does not mind at all

When I place before Him

A volley of questions,

Provided they are all spiritual. ```

17710

```

You must accept God’s Verdict —

Not helplessly

But cheerfully and proudly.

```

17711

```

The mind loves

Its eloquent protest

Against the heart’s

Wisdom-light-actions. ```

17712

```

Nobody should feel

That his spiritual height

Is unassailable.

```

17713

```

When we are deprived

Of God-energy

Because of our indolence-life,

Spiritually we are nothing

But dead,

Completely dead. ```

17714

```

For the unaspiring mind,

To be an unwillingness-giant

Is not an uncommon task.

```

17715

```

Be careful!

If you run away

With the freedom of your mind,

Soon you will find your happiness-life

Nowhere.

```

17716

```

My life’s self-giving

Has opened up

My heart’s prayerful and soulful

God-awareness. ```

17717

```

As God never grows old,

Even so,

His Cosmic Game-Joy.

```

17718

```

I fortify my inner life

With my heart’s

God-devotion-tears.

```

17719

```

Stop not climbing,

Even if you at times

Slide down.

```

17720

```

Of all my friends,

My morning-joy-meditation

Is by far the best.

```

17721

```

Unlike the heart,

The mind never pays attention

To God’s morning Call.

```

17722

```

No matter how you play

The heart-piano,

It is always soulful and powerful.

```

17723

```

Life is nothing

But an ever-climbing

Progress-dream-reality.

```

17724

```

Every day

I ply my life-boat

Between my heart-tears

And my soul-smiles. ```

17725

```

When my meditation is deep,

I enjoy tranquillity’s

Fountain-delight.

```

17726

```

O my mind, be careful!

Do not accept any invitation

From the desire-jungle.

```

17727

```

A God-obedience heart,

Mind and life

Can and shall show the world

Infinity’s Heights. ```

17728

```

God asks me

How I can be precious

In His Heart

If I am not generous

In my life.

```

17729

```

Detachment, detachment,

Detachment everywhere I need.

But when it comes to my Lord Supreme,

Attachment is all I need. ```

17730

```

God encourages me and inspires me

Every day

To climb up His Hope-Tree.

```

17731

```

The mind

Can talk incessantly

About Heaven.

```

17732

```

The heart

Eventually grows into

Heaven itself.

```

17733

```

When it comes to interpretation

Of God’s Will,

The soul is always

By far the best. ```

17734

```

My meditation

Is all ears

When God speaks.

```

17735

```

God invariably prefers

Heart-melodies

To mind and vital-melodies.

```

17736

```

Disobedience is always

An extremely serious

Blunder.

```

17737

```

God orders each and every

Human being

To spread His Rainbow-Beauties

All around the world. ```

17738

```

My God-surrender

Is not daring

But self-fulfilling.

```

17739

```

If you want to make progress

In your spiritual life,

Then leave behind

Your well-built comfort-tower. ```

17740

```

Only a true God-lover

Can write

Pure devotion-letters

To God. ```

17741

```

A spiritual Master

Is the record-holder

For God-pleasing deeds.

```

17742

```

This world needs

Life-dedication-flames

More than anything else.

```

17743

```

God tells my heart

That it has to know

Only one thing:

The art of love-multiplication. ```

17744

```

If you have indomitable

Will-power,

Then impossibility-gate

Is not an obstruction. ```

17745

```

May my gratitude-heart-flames

Forever remain

Alive.

```

17746

```

Desire-enemies

Have to be conquered

Once and for all.

```

17747

```

Hope is sweet.

Promise is powerful.

Fulfilment is satisfying.

```

17748

```

Meditation

Is the first-class

Wild mind-tamer.

```

17749

```

Each impure thought

Minimises

Our love of God.

```

17750

```

The Master replaces

Desire-mind-weeds

With

Aspiration-heart-plants. ```

17751

```

I take my Master’s sadness

As my own

Utter failure.

```

17752

```

My mind’s God-hesitation

Is, indeed,

My heart’s exasperation.

```

17753

```

If a seeker is sincere,

Then his devotion

Cannot be excessive.

```

17754

```

If a seeker is sincere,

Then his devotion

Can be divinely impressive.

```

17755

```

If a seeker is sincere,

Then his devotion

Can be supremely persuasive.

```

17756

```

If devotion is sincere,

Then God’s Heart

Is next door.

```

17757

```

We cannot bribe

God’s Compassion,

But we can thrive on

God’s Compassion. ```

17758

```

When I am in my mind,

I become a loveless

Darkness-night.

```

17759

```

When I am in my heart,

I become a love-flooded

Delight-day.

```

17760

```

God is Justice

Because I do not care for

His unreserved Friendship.

```

17761

```

God is Justice

Only when I declare

That my way is the only way.

```

17762

```

God is Justice

Only when I do not want

To grow into

My own divinity. ```

17763

```

Greatness treats

The world

As its elder brother.

```

17764

```

Goodness treats

The world

As its real mother.

```

17765

```

Each good heart

Champions the cause

Of world-harmony.

```

17766

```

The haughty mind

Wants to remain

A perfect stranger

To all the pleasures

Of the heart.

```

17767

```

A God-lover is he

Who paints God’s Love

On his heart-canvas.

```

17768

```

At every moment

The seeker has to be

Very careful.

Otherwise he will find himself

In the mind’s desire-forest.

```

17769

```

My God-obedience-heart

Is the supreme victory

Of my God-dedication-life.

```

17770

```

To a God-lover,

No failure can ever

Be permanent.

```

17771

```

Every day

My heart and my soul

Are desperately trying

To smash asunder

My mind’s God-resistance-gate.

```

17772

```

Every morning

Heaven’s Compassion-Wings

Welcome me

And invite me to fly

On them.

```

17773

```

Disobedience

And defiance

Are two twin brothers.

```

17774

```

Insecurity

And jealousy

Are two twin sisters.

```

17775

```

Once a desire-fire

Starts burning,

It lingers and lingers.

```

17776

```

The mind’s eyesight

Is shockingly narrow

And limited.

```

17777

```

The heart’s eyesight

Is surprisingly

Unlimited.

```

17778

```

May my body become

God-service-prayer

In action.

```

17779

```

A gratitude-heart

Is the beauty and fragrance

Of a fulness-life.

```

17780

```

No impurity-mind

Can ever house

Tranquillity.

```

17781

```

As the mind needs

Enthusiasm,

Even so, the life needs

Dynamism. ```

17782

```

Where can I find

A God-realised soul?

I can easily find him

Inside my Master’s

Vision-eye.

```

17783

```

My Lord,

I shall do everything for You

In Your own Way.

Indeed, this is no longer

Mere wishful thinking

But a solemn promise. ```

17784

```

My Lord,

You help us all,

But can we help You at all?

“My child,

Your acceptance of My Help

Equals My Satisfaction-Heart.” ```

17785

```

My Lord,

Do You get joy

When You look at me?

“My child,

If I do not get joy,

Will I even look at your face?” ```

17786

```

My Lord,

Are You not sick

Of my success-desire-stories?

“My child,

I am not.

But if you are sick

Of your success-desire-stories,

Then start singing progress-songs.” ```

17787

```

My Lord,

My surrender-choice

Is Your own Fulfilment-Voice.

```

17788

```

Who am I?

I am the product

Of my success-desire.

```

17789

```

Who am I?

I am the product

Of my progress-will.

```

17790

```

If my heartbeats

Are not made of

My God-surrender-life,

Then why am I wasting my time? ```

17791

```

My Lord

Wants to make me

A reality beyond Time.

```

17792

```

This time, when God comes down,

I shall not hide.

I shall expose my life, inner and outer,

Immediately. ```

17793

```

The sufferings and the throes

Of my dissatisfaction-mind

Are simply unbearable.

```

17794

```

O seeker,

Never, never allow

A doubt-shadow

To darken

Your heart-faith-sky.

```

17795

```

My faith and love:

Two wings

Of my progress-life-bird.

```

17796

```

I must think of Him

The way I love

My heart.

```

17797

```

Whoever is obedient

To my Master-Lord

Deserves my constant gratitude,

Joy and pride. ```

17798

```

Whenever my Master looks at me,

I wish him to feel my heart cries

For him only.

```

17799

```

My mind always steals happiness

From my heart.

One day, my mind-thief

Will be caught red-handed. ```

17800

```

My God-surrender-life

Is nothing short of

My life-transformation-dance.

```

17801

```

Self-mastery

Can cure the illness

Of the mind.

```

17802

```

The darkness of the mind

Prepares

Its own death-tomb.

```

17803

```

If you want to seek,

You must seek always

With your heart’s

Indomitable zeal. ```

17804

```

Each aspiration-cry

Is a flying bird

In God’s Heart-Sky.

```

17805

```

God tells me that

He not only loves

But also needs my prayers.

```

17806

```

My Lord, please tell me,

How can I live with

Such a narrow and blind mind?

```

17807

```

My Lord,

You wanted me to cry for You.

I did cry, but alas, nothing happened.

Why, my Lord, why? ```

17808

```

I shall shake my mind’s

Disobedience-tree

Ruthlessly and victoriously

With my God-faith. ```

17809

```

Each devotion-song

Is, indeed,

The life’s sweetness-thrill.

```

17810

```

My Lord, I am praying to You

Only for one thing:

My enthusiasm-rebirth.

```

17811

```

My heart’s sincerity

Is my life’s

Happiness-harvest.

```

17812

```

Everybody has to pass behind

The curtain of Eternity,

But before that,

Everybody must exercise

Their divine capacity

Here on earth. ```

17813

```

Some love God’s Command

Most gratefully,

While others dread God’s Command

Immediately. ```

17814

```

Do not wait for the doubt-storm

To pass over.

It will never do so.

Do what you have to immediately

With your faith.

```

17815

```

We stand between two worlds:

A mind of suspicion

And a heart of faith.

```

17816

```

O my mind,

Mend your ways immediately!

If not,

Your doom will fast approach you. ```

17817

```

God has boundless Love

For His worldwide

Manifestation-support-crew.

```

17818

```

What I need

Is a new start

In every sphere of my life.

```

17819

```

The only way

I can serve my Lord

Is through

My silence-heart. ```

17820

```

It is quite common

That the unaspiring mind’s field

Is fallow.

```

17821

```

I was born to serve,

But now God is training me

To lead.

```

17822

```

Alas,

My mind wants to be

A God-examiner.

```

17823

```

My heart

Wants to be

A God-dreamer.

```

17824

```

My life

Wants to be

A God-lover.

```

17825

```

I want to be

A God-knower. ```

17826

```

Life has its own

Unexpected

Twists and turns.

```

17827

```

By nature,

Life is always

Uncertain.

```

17828

```

God always thinks of you

Compassionately,

No matter what you think of Him.

```

17829

```

God thinks of you with appreciation,

Even admiration,

When you carry heavy earth-duties

To please Him in His own Way. ```

17830

```

My Lord,

At every moment

I wish to accept Your Will

With my heart’s deepest joy

And pride.

```

17831

```

God definitely wants me

To think of Him and love Him

More, ever more.

```

17832

```

I accept only God’s Way,

For His Way is

The only perfect Way.

```

17833

```

My Lord protects

My life

Only when I want Him to.

```

17834

```

I no longer need

My hesitation-mind

In my spiritual life.

```

17835

```

We must never forget

That God’s Love is made of

His Heart’s Light.

```

17836

```

Keep your soul’s promise

If you really want to be

A choice instrument of God.

```

17837

```

Do not mix with

Your mind and vital.

They are always

Masters of deception. ```

17838

```

Alas,

The mind enjoys

The heart’s

Aspiration-descent! ```

17839

```

There is no real joy

In exercising

Supremacy.

```

17840

```

Every moment I feel that

My life is becoming stronger

Precisely because

My life has surrendered completely

To God’s Will.

```

17841

```

Alas, the unaspiring mind

And the destructive vital

Have teamed up to stand against

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```

17842

```

The mind always

Wants to enjoy

My aspiration-heart-failure.

```

17843

```

I do not need

A heart of emptiness,

But I need

A heart of God-fulness. ```

17844

```

Mine is a path

Well-trodden

By my Lord Himself.

```

17845

```

“Do not touch the rock-bottom

Of disobedience-desire-life,”

God is warning each and every seeker.

```

17846

```

At every moment

May my heart dance

With hope and promise-songs.

```

17847

```

Alas,

I shocked God

With my new ignorance-net.

```

17848

```

Never listen to

Your thunder-mind and vital —

Never!

```

17849

```

God’s final Victory-Dance

He will enjoy

Only when humanity becomes

A self-giving heart. ```

17850

```

God was extremely displeased

With me today,

For He did not find me

Inside my heart. ```

17851

```

Do not blame yourself.

Do not blame God.

Do not blame humanity.

Just go ahead.

God is eagerly waiting for you.

```

17852

```

My heart cried and cried,

Until

God finally came.

```

17853

```

O my life, cry and cry

Until you can feel

That God has listened.

```

17854

```

I want

God’s Protection-Feet.

God gives me

His clasping Hands. ```

17855

```

I really do not know why

God still loves me.

My crimes are never-ending.

```

17856

```

God does not want

Anybody to disappear

From His Heart.

```

17857

```

At long last

I have freed my tears

From self-pity.

```

17858

```

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,

If you want to build

A stairway to Paradise.

```

17859

```

Alas, no matter how hard I try,

I am unable to come out of

My Amazon jungle-mind.

```

17860

```

If you have no faith,

Then there is nothing safe

In your life.

```

17861

```

Do not enjoy the vital thrill.

It will kill immediately

All your aspiration-cries.

```

17862

```

When God created time,

He created patience

As well.

```

17863

```

We must struggle and fight,

Day and night,

To establish God’s Victory

On earth. ```

17864

```

I can clearly see

That my tears

Have God-Ears.

```

17865

```

My heart-temple,

Allow me to stay with you,

In you and for you.

```

17866

```

Without gratitude,

Nobody can ever reach

God-Altitude.

```

17867

```

My Lord feeds me

According to

My heart’s need

And not according to

My mind’s greed.

```

17868

```

The fastest progress

Depends upon

A God-loving eagerness-life.

```

17869

```

Alas,

What have I done?

God had such high hopes

For me! ```

17870

```

Quite often, outer friendships

Are nothing other than

Inner battleships.

```

17871

```

The mind-noise-maker

Is always

The heart-poise-breaker.

```

17872

```

Alas, we fail to see

That our inner peace is dying

In our mind-turmoil.

```

17873

```

Each seeker should have

A life-tree

With strong obedience-roots.

```

17874

```

May my heart

Be endowed with

Selflessness-abundance.

```

17875

```

God’s Compassion

Lives

Wherever it is needed.

```

17876

```

I shall no more publish

And publicise

My world-criticism-letters.

```

17877

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Has neither an equal

Nor an opposite.

It is All. ```

17878

```

May my faith

In God

Be ocean-deep.

```

17879

```

May my love

For God

Be mountain-tall.

```

17880

```

My soul

Was born in

God-Infinity’s Bliss.

```

17881

```

If you are a genuine seeker,

Then God will make you

A high, very high flyer.

```

17882

```

Be always ready.

God may give you

A surprise visit.

```

17883

```

May my entire life

Be an early riser,

The way my heart

Has always been. ```

17884

```

O seeker, be a perfect stranger

To crocodile tears.

Cultivate genuine tears

In the depths of your heart. ```

17885

```

Practical spirituality

Is the reality

That we all need.

```

17886

```

We cannot do anything divine

Unless our inner being

Prompts us to do so.

```

17887

```

If we are not at peace

With ourselves,

How can we ever imagine

Offering peace to the world? ```

17888

```

If we do not have the will

To love God,

How can He live in us

And for us? ```

17889

```

Each unaspiring thought

Is a killjoy

Of my heart.

```

17890

```

My mind,

Do not give up!

Get up and start again!

```

17891

```

To speak ill of others

Is as bad as

Killing one’s own self.

```

17892

```

World-leadership

Should go to those

Who believe in God-ownership

Of the whole world. ```

17893

```

Beware of false prophets.

Who knows, perhaps they are

Inside your own life!

```

17894

```

To solidify my life

I must purify my heart

And simplify my mind.

```

17895

```

Non-violence

Is the enjoyment

Of a higher life.

```

17896

```

Extend goodwill

Towards all:

Stop world-criticism.

```

17897

```

Progress means

Nothing other than

Self-education.

```

17898

```

God wants me

To change

And not to die.

```

17899

```

At the end of our life-journey,

Either hell-torture or Heaven-rapture

Is inevitable.

```

17900

```

The desire-mind

Knows only sadness.

It is not familiar

With gladness. ```

17901

```

The constant worries

Of the mind

Have no equals.

```

17902

```

To retire from activity

Is

Stupidity’s height.

```

17903

```

To retire from inactivity

Is

Divinity’s Smile.

```

17904

```

May my aspiration-heart

Every day

Take the earliest train

To my Lord’s

Haven-Feet-Destination.

```

17905

```

Alas, I do not know how long

My heart will suffer

The God-separation-pangs

Of sorrow. ```

17906

```

The old order

Almost always ends

In confusion-disorder.

```

17907

```

To be in a cheerful state

Of consciousness,

We must believe

In our own heart-delight. ```

17908

```

Complication and frustration

Love to roam

Together.

```

17909

```

The mind’s simplicity

And the heart’s sincerity

Are two blessingful protections

From God. ```

17910

```

Today’s rainbow-morning

Is the problem-shooter

Of the entire yesterday.

```

17911

```

The excuses of the mind

Are the products

Of utter falsehood.

```

17912

```

My heart-wings

Bring down God-Dreams

From Above.

```

17913

```

The mind has the capacity

Only to think inch by inch.

The heart has the capacity

To dream mile after mile

And manifest the divine light as well.

```

17914

```

O seeker,

If you want to make fast progress,

Then divinely revolutionise

Your thought, your speech, your action. ```

17915

```

When the mind does not believe

In God,

Then it is bound to end

In a desperate situation. ```

17916

```

When faith disappears,

Doubt immediately doubles —

Even triples!

```

17917

```

Desire-satisfaction

Is true

Happiness-destruction.

```

17918

```

My heart takes shelter

Only at two places:

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart. ```

17919

```

The mind sees

The anger of enemies

Everywhere.

```

17920

```

The heart feels

The embraces of friends

Everywhere.

```

17921

```

Alas, I do not know

How to conquer

My heart’s endless silence-sighs.

```

17922

```

Nothing is

As ridiculously laughable

As our pride.

```

17923

```

Never doubt,

Never hesitate

On the newness-road.

```

17924

```

Happily we must pay

Our life’s dues

To the Mother Earth.

```

17925

```

No more,

Even unconsciously,

Shall I stand against

My Lord’s Will. ```

17926

```

Happiness always pervades

A true seeker’s

Godward march.

```

17927

```

The mind

Eventually makes

A fearful exit.

```

17928

```

The heart

Does not believe in making an exit.

It only believes in entry.

```

17929

```

Sooner or later

The desiring mind-boat

Is bound to capsize.

```

17930

```

One happy moment

Can erase the bitter frustrations

Of decades.

```

17931

```

A single Blessing from God

Can easily illumine

The darkness-nights

Of centuries. ```

17932

```

May my gratitude-heart

Grow in my soul’s

God-faith-sunrise.

```

17933

```

My heart-expression

Is

My God-expansion.

```

17934

```

Alas,

My mind is chained

To a huge frustration-pillar.

```

17935

```

The mind-confusion-road

Is always

Extremely slippery.

```

17936

```

Knowledge-sparks

Finally bow

To the wisdom-sun.

```

17937

```

Truth smiles

Whenever it sees

A purity-heart.

```

17938

```

We must love the beauty and fragrance

Of a surrender-heart

If we do not want to walk

The dark tunnels of the mind. ```

17939

```

My words always fail me

The moment I near the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

17940

```

If we maintain our sincerity,

God never goes back

On His Promises.

```

17941

```

The judging mind

Likes to enjoy

Supreme authority.

```

17942

```

The loving heart

Loves to enjoy

Supreme equality.

```

17943

```

A truth-seeker

Is as divine as his faith

In God.

```

17944

```

A God-lover wants to be

A man for the world

And not a man of the world.

```

17945

```

God-actions

Far surpass

God-words.

```

17946

```

My sleeping body

And my aspiring heart

Are on very bad terms.

```

17947

```

The heart always

Makes everything

Short, sweet, illumining

And fulfilling. ```

17948

```

God Himself has declared

The mind-authorities

Null and void.

```

17949

```

I pray to God

For His Protection-Feet.

He begs me

For my smiling face. ```

17950

```

Both ancient man

And modern man

Believed in waging wars.

```

17951

```

The future man

Will only believe in

The universal canopy

Of peace. ```

17952

```

When I am at the Feet

Of my Lord,

Immediately I feel that

I am at the top of this world. ```

17953

```

My spirituality-heart

At every moment

Has to be on the alert

To save me

From ignorance-attacks.

```

17954

```

What is insecurity,

If not something that undervalues

My divine qualities?

```

17955

```

My devotion-heart

Loves to live only

In my God-surrender-world.

```

17956

```

The desire-world is the place

Where weak souls

Go and live.

```

17957

```

I shall leave this world

With my life’s peace-beauty

And my heart’s bliss-fragrance.

```

17958

```

God does not want us

To hide our impurity-mind.

He wants our impurity-mind

To be exposed. ```

17959

```

Gratitude makes our hearts

Every day

Sweeter and sweeter.

```

17960

```

Every day

God wants us to show Him

The beauty

Of our golden heart. ```

17961

```

The ugliness of our mind

Is

An ancient tale.

```

17962

```

The beauty of our heart

Is

A sage-composed song.

```

17963

```

Inside the desire-life

Sleeps

My ignorance-mind.

```

17964

```

God Himself crowns

A surrender-life

With abundant joy.

```

17965

```

Our frustrated hopes

Are the uselessness

Of our mind.

```

17966

```

Alas, I do not know why

Peace has all of a sudden

Disappeared from me.

```

17967

```

The presence of peace

Turns us into

Heavenly angels.

```

17968

```

The mind does not

Invite any visitor,

Specially peace.

```

17969

```

My heart and I

Are determined to surmount

All our mind-obstacles.

```

17970

```

My heart-surrender-songs

Have only one source:

My soul.

```

17971

```

O my mind,

Use your silence-light.

You will be a true member

Of God’s Family. ```

17972

```

Each God-surrender-song

Comes directly down

From God’s Abode.

```

17973

```

May the floodlight of my soul

Illumine my mind’s

Dark desire-prison.

```

17974

```

It is we who have to

Faithfully and firmly break

All our desire-thorns.

```

17975

```

Mine is the heart

That is ordained by God Himself

To fulfil flowering promises.

```

17976

```

My Lord,

May Your Compassion-Eye

Every day

Pass over my God-love-life. ```

17977

```

Do not allow desire

To drag you

Along its ruthless path.

```

17978

```

My heart’s happiness-blossoms

Are my Lord’s

Pride-flooded treasures.

```

17979

```

May my heart become

At every moment

A climbing aspiration-flame.

```

17980

```

Today I call out to You,

My Lord,

Only for one thing:

A mind full of peace. ```

17981

```

It is never too late

To embark

On a divine journey.

```

17982

```

I love to enjoy

The peace-waterfall

Inside my heart.

```

17983

```

May my heart

At every moment

Enjoy God-devotion-nectar.

```

17984

```

I make bold to say

That I have taken dynamism’s stand

Against my lifelong lethargy.

```

17985

```

By sharing with and loving humanity,

We can definitely reduce

Humanity’s suffering.

```

17986

```

A life of humility

Creates

A sweetness-harmony-mind.

```

17987

```

Each devoted seeker

Is indeed a conduit

For God’s special Love.

```

17988

```

Every day I pray to God

To give me the capacity

To cultivate

Heaven-soaring virtues. ```

17989

```

I deeply enjoy my feast

On the dust

Of my Lord’s Will.

```

17990

```

We must see and feel goodness

In each corner

Of the globe.

```

17991

```

Happiness is the capacity

That we have

To chase away

Our negativity-mind. ```

17992

```

Imagination

Paves my way.

Inspiration

Leads me to the Destination.

Aspiration

Makes me the Destination itself. ```

17993

```

God reveals His supreme Secrets

At every moment

To His oneness-heart-children.

```

17994

```

May each and every heart

Be the murmur

Of happiness-life

And happiness-voice. ```

17995

```

Everybody’s heart-garden

Is tended

By God’s own Compassion-Hands.

```

17996

```

My Lord,

Your Forgiveness-Heart-Fragrance

Keeps my days and nights alive.

```

17997

```

My heart,

God loves you

Not because you are sincere

And pure,

But because you belong

Only to Him. ```

17998

```

My Lord,

To see my heart

Right in front of Your Heart

Is nothing short of Heaven. ```

17999

```

May my life become

A twenty-four-hour adoration

Of God’s Lotus-Feet.

```

18000

```

When your heart

Is glowing,

When your life

Is flowing

And when you yourself

Are growing,

The time has come for you

To near God. ```
