Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 40

39001

```

I must and must be worthy

Of my Lord’s Confidence

In me.

```

39002

```

My Lord,

I beg of You

To be the sole Owner

Of my life. ```

39003

```

Desire-fulfilment-hunger

I had. ```

39004

```

God-enjoyment-hunger

I now am. ```

39005

```

What do I need?

I need only

My God-fulfilment-eagerness.

```

39006

```

My Lord Supreme watches

My inner breath

And my outer life

At the same time. ```

39007

```

I shall not be satisfied

With God’s Victory

In my life alone.

I need and I want God’s Victory

In each and every human being

As well. ```

39008

```

For God-willingness

And God-eagerness

We must every day pray.

```

39009

```

If you are a true seeker,

Then God’s Victory

Will give you

Unimaginable joy. ```

39010

```

We must cultivate

Divine passion

For our Lord’s Victory.

```

39011

```

He who does not

Pray and meditate

Is, indeed, a toy

Of ignorance-night. ```

39012

```

My happiest moment

Is when I please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

39013

```

No matter what I do,

No matter what I say,

My Lord will not give up on me —

So says my Lord Supreme. ```

39014

```

The whispers of the angels

Awaken me

To watch the beauty

Of my Inner Pilot. ```

39015

```

My Lord,

I do not want to know

About Your Life-History,

But I do want to know from You

About Your Life-Mysteries.

```

39016

```

I came into the world

To celebrate

My Lord’s continuous Victories

In the inner life

And the outer life as well.

```

39017

```

If I can grow into

My heart-fountain,

Then only will God invite me

To entertain Him. ```

39018

```

The desire-life shouts:

“God, You are so unfair!” ```

39019

```

The aspiration-life says to God:

“My Lord, please give me

The capacity

To fulfil You all the time,

In Your own Way,

From this very moment!” ```

39020

```

My God-fulfilment-task

Must not wait

Even for a single second.

```

39021

```

God cares infinitely more

For my honest efforts

Than for my actual successes.

```

39022

```

Self-styled leaders

Are found everywhere,

But, alas,

Where are the God-ordained leaders

Of mankind?

```

39023

```

I always quote

My Lord’s favourite Utterance:

“My child,

You are bound to succeed!

You are bound to succeed!”

```

39024

```

The mind-force

Is no match

For the heart-power.

```

39025

```

The undivine forces

Are terribly afraid of

The supremely happy hearts.

```

39026

```

My Lord, from today on,

I shall fulfil Your Desire —

I shall not hide any more

Inside my mind;

I shall live only inside

Your Heart of Compassion infinite,

Love infinite and Satisfaction infinite.

```

39027

```

The outer bird flies and flies —

And gives us immense joy. ```

39028

```

The inner bird flies and flies —

God watches and admires. ```

39029

```

God is all eagerness

To receive my heart

And, at the same time,

To be received by my heart. ```

39030

```

Every day without fail

God visits

My surrender-heart-shrine.

```

39031

```

Disappointment-tears

Are not meant

For the real seekers.

```

39032

```

May my mind

Grow into

An inspiration-fountain.

```

39033

```

God tells me

That my only aim

Is to offer Him and His Creation

All my heart’s aspiration

And life’s dedication.

```

39034

```

Each and every heart

Loves the Lord Beloved Supreme

At first sight.

```

39035

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Knows no sleep. ```

39036

```

God means

God’s Compassion-Eye,

And nothing else.

```

39037

```

Only a heart

Of constant surrender

Knows the way

To God’s Heart-Home. ```

39038

```

Nobody has the right

To claim God’s affection

And God’s attention.

```

39039

```

Disobedience

Is definitely

Punishable.

```

39040

```

Depression

Has its antidote:

God’s Smile.

```

39041

```

My God-thirst

Can never

Be quenched.

```

39042

```

All our troubles

Start

In our mind-jungle.

```

39043

```

Not quantity

But quality God-seekers

God needs.

```

39044

```

I have only one home

And that home

Is my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Heart. ```

39045

```

Anybody else can love

The owner of the mind,

But not me.

```

39046

```

My Lord,

Do not allow

My purity-heart-vessel

To remain empty. ```

39047

```

Like my soul,

I wish to swim

All the time

In my delight-heart-sea-tears. ```

39048

```

True God-servers feel

That they do not need

Any vacation.

```

39049

```

Is there anybody

Who does not cry

For God-attention?

```

39050

```

My Lord,

Today I wish to dream

With You;

Tomorrow, and for the rest of my life,

I wish to dream

Only for You. ```

39051

```

No matter how high

The gratitude-mountain is,

The seeker has to climb.

```

39052

```

Alas, I have no idea

How and when, or even if,

I will ever be able to please God

In His own Way! ```

39053

```

I have only one law:

Immediate obedience

To my Master’s command.

```

39054

```

Rooted in God

My soul, my heart, my mind,

My vital, my body and I were.

```

39055

```

God

Now wants us to be

His Divinity-Beauty’s Blossoms.

```

39056

```

Loneliness does not know

That oneness-freedom

Does exist.

```

39057

```

In life,

The heart that sleeps

Is of no avail.

```

39058

```

When I am in my mind,

I see

The dust of nothingness.

```

39059

```

When I am in my heart,

I see

The flowers of love.

```

39060

```

Alas, I am in between

The emptiness of the mind

And the fulness of the soul.

```

39061

```

Each heart

Is an island

Of God’s Dreams.

```

39062

```

My God-love-tears

Literally burn

My heart.

```

39063

```

Jealousy

Is, indeed,

An emissary of death.

```

39064

```

Life was never meant to be

An unending

Ignorance-sleep.

```

39065

```

Tears are heart-strength;

Smiles are soul-power.

My life swims between the two.

```

39066

```

Happiness knows

No time-limit. ```

39067

```

The clutter of the vital

And the clamour of the mind

Are extremely dangerous

In the spiritual life. ```

39068

```

The wrongdoings of life

Come from

The false thinking of the mind.

```

39069

```

Timelessness

Is at once

Sacred and secret.

```

39070

```

The inner silence

Embodies

God’s Message-Voice.

```

39071

```

Meditation

Paves the way

To transformation.

```

39072

```

Our love of God-prayer

Knows no equal. ```

39073

```

Desires and worries

Are extremely difficult

To separate.

```

39074

```

If your spirituality

Is genuine,

Then you belong

To the whole world. ```

39075

```

Our lives

Are the travellers

On this earth-planet.

```

39076

```

Our hearts

Are the dreamers

On this earth-planet.

```

39077

```

Our souls

Are the God-Light-revealers

On this earth-planet.

```

39078

```

Sincerity and happiness

Live

Interdependently.

```

39079

```

Ego-life begins

Only to end

After covering a very short distance.

```

39080

```

Do not impose

Anything

On others.

```

39081

```

Do not expose

Your inner self

To others.

```

39082

```

Do not propose

That others follow your way,

Thinking that your way

Is the only way. ```

39083

```

Angels visit us

Only when we have

A purity-mind

And

A self-giving heart.

```

39084

```

The vital

Can only beat

The self-glory-drum.

```

39085

```

May my mind

Devotedly follow

My hunger-wish

For God-Satisfaction. ```

39086

```

Patience we need,

Faith we need,

To climb up the God-ladder.

```

39087

```

Each soul

Is

A God-manifestation-fulfilment-dream.

```

39088

```

Mother Earth

Came into existence

From God’s infinite Compassion-Heart.

```

39089

```

My silence-heart-temple

Is expediting

My Lord’s Arrival.

```

39090

```

Unless we discard

Our competitive spirit,

We will never be happy.

```

39091

```

Infinite horizons

Are

Beckoning me.

```

39092

```

My heart-eye

Sees only one thing:

God’s Eye.

```

39093

```

My Lord’s Seat

I always treasure

Inside my heart-garden.

```

39094

```

The transformation-vision

Of humanity

Is unprecedented.

```

39095

```

A oneness-heart

Proudly collects

All the good things

That are available on earth. ```

39096

```

We shall have to be faithful

To both our outer self

And our inner self.

```

39097

```

May my heart’s

Beauty-prayers

Never cease.

```

39098

```

My life is

My God-readiness-breath

At every moment.

```

39099

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Is the only Source

Of all my capacities and qualities.

```

39100

```

My Lord,

Do destroy my shameless

Unwillingness-mind.

```

39101

```

A God-seeker does not need

Outer degrees,

But he does need

The inner God-loving, God-serving

And God-fulfilling certificates.

```

39102

```

The mind that cherishes doubt

Has to be totally discarded

Long before one enters

Into the spiritual life. ```

39103

```

God-servers

In the outer world

Are God-warriors

In the inner world. ```

39104

```

God-willingness and God-eagerness

Carry us

Faster than the fastest

To God’s Heart-Home. ```

39105

```

A life empty of God-love

Shall be attacked mercilessly

By the undivine forces.

```

39106

```

I must force my mind

Not only to touch God’s Feet

But also to stay at God’s Feet

Forever. ```

39107

```

My Lord’s Love for me

Is not only constant

But also

Peaceful and blissful. ```

39108

```

Each divine thought

Has to be transformed

Into an immediate action.

```

39109

```

O my mind-intelligence,

Do you not realise

How far you live

From my Lord’s Heart-Home? ```

39110

```

Each morning

My Lord blesses me

With a beautiful hope

And

A powerful promise.

```

39111

```

I must destroy

My desire-bondage

And not merely try to escape.

```

39112

```

I must immediately accept

My heart-garden

And reject

My mind-jungle. ```

39113

```

My purity-heart

Blossoms every day

With a new God-loving hope

And God-fulfilling promise. ```

39114

```

When my Lord and I enjoy

Our heart-to-heart conversations,

Time does not dare to approach us.

```

39115

```

My physical health

And my spiritual health

Must progress side by side

Most satisfactorily

To please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way. ```

39116

```

My happiness-heart

Shows me the way

To arrive

At God’s Heart-Door. ```

39117

```

God tells me all the time

Only one thing:

“My child,

I want you to be

The crown

Of My divine Pride.” ```

39118

```

Where does peace live,

If not inside

My sleepless God-hunger?

```

39119

```

My Lord, I have no idea

How many lives I have wasted.

Please do not allow me to waste

Even one single day more!

Allow me to remain every day

Conscious of You. ```

39120

```

Every day

I must embark

On a new God-expedition.

```

39121

```

My mind,

Enough of your talking!

Start immediately loving

Your Inner Pilot. ```

39122

```

Every good experience

Unmistakably takes us

Into our Lord’s Heart-Garden.

```

39123

```

My heart and I

Are running fast, very fast,

Towards our Supreme Lord,

The way a river runs

Towards the ocean.

```

39124

```

My heart’s sleepless tears

Are crying

For the express Arrival

Of God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

39125

```

Bliss blossoms

Inside

My God-worship-heart.

```

39126

```

Each seeker

Has to eventually become

A God-hero-warrior.

```

39127

```

I need certificates

From all the God-Schools

In the inner world.

```

39128

```

I need

A God-readiness-mind

All the time.

```

39129

```

I need

A God-willingness-life

All the time.

```

39130

```

I need

A God-eagerness-heart

All the time.

```

39131

```

I must be

A God-fulfilling God-lover

All the time.

```

39132

```

My life is an earthly speed;

My heart is a Heavenly speed.

I am crying to God

To bless me

With His own Speed.

```

39133

```

My Lord comes to me

Smiling,

From far beyond

The horizons of my dreams. ```

39134

```

My Lord’s one Smile

Is enough

To remove all my mind-tensions.

```

39135

```

God’s golden Feet

I have clasped. ```

39136

```

My mind-jungle

I have rejected

Forever.

```

39137

```

My Lord,

Without You

I do not want to live,

Even in the highest Heaven. ```

39138

```

My Lord,

Do give me a heart

That will run

With an ever-increasing speed. ```

39139

```

Aspiration and dedication

Come in many forms,

But God-realisation

Comes only in one form. ```

39140

```

After a very long time,

My heart is reunited

With my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

39141

```

My Lord blesses me,

Loves me and fulfils me,

In spite of all my mistakes

And weaknesses. ```

39142

```

My Lord,

I am offering my inner life

And my outer life

Unconditionally

To fulfil Your Will

Here on earth. ```

39143

```

I must examine

My mind’s sincerity

And my heart’s purity

Before I do anything

For my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

39144

```

My sincere longing

For my Lord Supreme

Is always appreciated

By the Heart of my Supreme. ```

39145

```

My Lord, from now on

Your Heart will be

My permanent Home,

Only Home. ```

39146

```

My Lord,

The moment I see You,

My heart becomes

The beauty, light and bliss

Of a rainbow.

```

39147

```

We must not delay,

Even for a second,

Embarking on

Our Godward journey. ```

39148

```

When I use my mind,

It is the longest distance.

When I use my heart,

It is the shortest distance.

Alas, even the shortest distance

Is extremely difficult to cover

On the road to God-realisation!

```

39149

```

For years and years

I have been crying

For the same thing:

God-Satisfaction. ```

39150

```

My love, my devotion, my surrender —

Everything has to be

Absolutely sincere and authentic

For God. ```

39151

```

My Lord,

How I wish I could count

The number of times

You have made me,

My heart, my entire being,

Happy

In a very celestial way!

```

39152

```

My mind thinks that God is far, very far.

My heart feels that God is near, very near.

And I know that God has been waiting,

Waiting and waiting for me

For a very long time.

```

39153

```

My Lord tells me, again and again,

That He does not want me to be His slave.

He wants me to be His friend,

Eternal friend. ```

39154

```

No ignorance-storm

Can shake

My God-surrendered life.

```

39155

```

My soul-blessed heart

Has

Impenetrable poise.

```

39156

```

Adversity

Is a disguised

Opportunity.

```

39157

```

The more you think,

The farther away you are

From Reality.

```

39158

```

Your inner light

Will definitely shine forth —

It is only a matter of time.

```

39159

```

The world needs you and me

At this very moment —

Not in the near or distant future.

```

39160

```

Do not form stupid

And unhealthy opinions

That lower your consciousness.

```

39161

```

Jealousy

Is a most serious

And often fatal disease.

```

39162

```

When troubles

Attack you,

Just smile them away.

```

39163

```

Is there anybody

Who does not suffer

From ignorance-fever?

```

39164

```

The mind has problems,

But the heart is more than eager

To solve the problems

Of the mind. ```

39165

```

God speaks

Through your soul. ```

39166

```

God listens

Through your heart. ```

39167

```

A depression-mind

Is a destruction-life

Inevitable.

```

39168

```

Tenderness, softness, sweetness —

These divine qualities

Definitely strengthen the heart.

```

39169

```

I follow my heart’s

Golden flute-melody

Everywhere.

```

39170

```

My heart-tears

Cry. ```

39171

```

God’s Lotus-Heart

Whispers. ```

39172

```

Desire and selfishness

Eventually strangle

Each other.

```

39173

```

Anything that is sacred

In our outer life

Comes from our secret inner treasure.

```

39174

```

A heart of tranquillity

Is a source

Of tremendous happiness.

```

39175

```

Happiness is within —

An absolute Truth. ```

39176

```

Desire misleads us

And misguides us. ```

39177

```

The old and critical mind

Has to be dethroned

Immediately.

```

39178

```

My heart’s surrender-compass

Is guiding me

Directly to my Lord Supreme.

```

39179

```

May all my frustrations

Be buried

Inside my mind-jungle.

```

39180

```

May each gratitude-heart

Only blossom

Inside God’s Heart.

```

39181

```

Anything that stands against

God’s Will

Needs emergency surgery.

```

39182

```

I deeply enjoy

My heart-boat-sails. ```

39183

```

Peacemakers

Are one step ahead

Of present-day humanity.

```

39184

```

My Lord’s

Compassion-Eye

Is my outer name.

```

39185

```

My Lord’s

Forgiveness-Heart

Is my inner name.

```

39186

```

Aspiration itself

Is

A divine victory.

```

39187

```

My aspiration-heart

Has to be transformed

Into a God-gratitude-song.

```

39188

```

My Lord,

At Your Feet

I am placing what I already have,

And there I shall also place

Whatever I receive

From the outer world. ```

39189

```

My soul enters into my mind

And compels it

To look towards the Light.

```

39190

```

My soul and my heart

Are always extremely fond of

Each other.

```

39191

```

My heart and my vital

By nature

Are not friends.

```

39192

```

My mind and my life

So often

Blame each other.

```

39193

```

My inner life

Must develop

Intense God-hunger.

```

39194

```

Imagination

Starts the Game. ```

39195

```

Aspiration

Ends the Game. ```

39196

```

Aspiration-fire

Can easily burn away

Imperfection.

```

39197

```

My heart-garden

Is the only place that gives me

Abundant peace.

```

39198

```

Oneness means

When my heart and I sing together

For God’s Victory.

```

39199

```

If I do not discipline

My constantly roaming thoughts,

Who will come to my rescue?

```

39200

```

My Lord,

I am clasping Your Feet.

Please allow me to remain

Clasping Your Feet

For at least five minutes!

```

39201

```

My Lord,

If I cannot please You

From this very moment,

My life will end utterly in vain! ```

39202

```

My Lord,

I have been hoping and hoping

That, before long,

You would summon me. ```

39203

```

Keep moving!

Movement is of paramount importance

To arrive

At the Destination. ```

39204

```

No more dreamland, my Lord!

From now on, I shall live

Only in the Reality-land

To love You, serve You

And fulfil You.

```

39205

```

Anything negative

Is

Utterly destructive.

```

39206

```

May my heart

Always remain

A fresh gratitude-flower.

```

39207

```

May my heart-flower bloom

Early in the morning

And early in the evening

Every day. ```

39208

```

Man-separation

We can endure.

God-separation

Is simply impossible for us

To endure.

```

39209

```

When I do not have inner poise,

I cannot please my Lord Supreme,

Either in this world

Or in any other. ```

39210

```

I must become a heart of purity

And a life of humility

To please my Lord

In His own Way. ```

39211

```

If I do not treasure my Lord Supreme

In every aspect,

Then mine will be the heart

Of endless suffering. ```

39212

```

My soul is always eager

To guide me and lead me

To the heights of Perfection.

Alas, I am not ready! ```

39213

```

Whenever I look in a mirror,

My Lord,

May I see Your Compassion-Eye!

```

39214

```

If I want to be an excellent God-seeker,

Then I must cherish my Lord’s Presence,

Not only inside my heart,

But inside my entire being. ```

39215

```

I must succeed

In pleasing my Lord,

In spite of all world-temptations.

```

39216

```

Without purity in his mind,

Without sincerity in his heart,

Without humility in his life,

No seeker will ever be able

To meet God.

```

39217

```

There is only one Goal —

God-realisation —

And we must be committed

Only to that Goal. ```

39218

```

My Lord,

You give me chance after chance

To be a good seeker.

I beg of You to give me

The determination needed

To become an excellent seeker. ```

39219

```

No genuine devotion,

No hope at all

For God-realisation.

```

39220

```

There are many virtues.

Gratitude

Is at the top of all virtues.

```

39221

```

My Lord, do tell me,

When will this world be freed

From its mind-jungle?

```

39222

```

My Lord,

Every day

May Your Footsteps

Bless my inner world

And my outer world as well.

```

39223

```

Sweet

Is

My sincere God-love.

```

39224

```

Sweeter

Is

My God-devotion-heart.

```

39225

```

Sweetest

Is

My God-surrender-life.

```

39226

```

May my life-breath

Swim constantly between

My aspiration-shore

And my dedication-shore. ```

39227

```

To be in the company

Of a good disciple

Of any Master

Is, indeed, a tremendous help

For any seeker.

```

39228

```

Even the false seekers

Are given repeated chances

To become sincere God-seekers

And God-lovers. ```

39229

```

Peace descends,

Not from God the Power

But from God the Lover.

```

39230

```

What I need

From my Lord Beloved Supreme:

Everything of everything!

```

39231

```

God-realisation

Is not an election. ```

39232

```

God-realisation

Is a selection. ```

39233

```

Each pilgrim on earth

Must realise

That he is in transit to Heaven.

```

39234

```

A first-rate seeker

Is, indeed,

An unconditional surrender-giver.

```

39235

```

My Lord tells me

That a very nice surprise

Is in store for me.

He will tell me soon

What it is.

```

39236

```

As my aspiration-mountain

Grows higher and higher,

Even so, my longing for God

Has to grow deeper and deeper. ```

39237

```

Every time I fall,

My Lord lifts me up

With more Compassion,

More Affection

And more Concern.

```

39238

```

No more shall I be interested

In my mind-jungle.

From now on, I shall stay always

Inside my heart-garden. ```

39239

```

I must pray, from dawn to dusk,

To receive my Lord’s ceaseless Blessings

From Heaven.

```

39240

```

Every day, I pray to God

To be in top spiritual

And physical condition.

```

39241

```

My Lord,

Do make me a sleepless self-giver,

To become

Your most faithful instrument. ```

39242

```

The mind and ignorance

Love each other so much.

Alas, they do not want to part!

```

39243

```

Do not question, do not doubt,

Just love and love your Master.

He will do everything for you

In the inner world,

And in the outer world as well.

```

39244

```

The mind-path

Is, indeed,

A constant obstacle course.

```

39245

```

God-Forgiveness-Delight

Is all I need, all the time,

From God Himself.

```

39246

```

My God-obedience

Thrills me

Far beyond my imagination.

```

39247

```

My heart-tears

Are all the time climbing

Towards my Lord’s Heart-Home.

```

39248

```

My Lord,

You are at once

The Lord of my prayers

And also

The Lord of my happiness and sorrow.

```

39249

```

My love-devotion-surrender-joy-tears

My Lord Supreme cherishes

Most proudly.

```

39250

```

God tells me

That the purity of my surrender-tears

Is exceedingly beautiful.

```

39251

```

Everyone, without exception,

Has to sit

For the God-realisation-examination,

Either in the near future

Or in the distant future.

```

39252

```

My Lord suffers like anything

When I do not believe in

His Affection, Love and Concern infinite.

```

39253

```

My Lord is so kind to me.

He reminds me that

My spiritual duties

Are to be given

First and foremost importance.

```

39254

```

My Lord feeds my heart

Most happily and proudly

On a regular basis.

```

39255

```

Every day

I renew my soul-promise

To God

For the transformation of mankind. ```

39256

```

A loving heart

And a feeling life

Are all I need

To please my Lord Supreme. ```

39257

```

I must realise

That my Lord Supreme

Is always within the reach

Of my heart-cries. ```

39258

```

Not true

That my life is in my own hands!

My life is all the time

In the Hands

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

39259

```

Let me enter into my silence-room

And invoke my Lord Supreme

And His infinite Compassion.

```

39260

```

I trust my Lord Supreme wholeheartedly

When He tells me that

Bright, brighter, brightest days

Are ahead of me. ```

39261

```

When my desire-life disappears,

I most sincerely feel

That my life is worth living

For the realisation and manifestation

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

39262

```

My Lord,

I do not know where You are

And where I am.

Please, please carry me

And place me at Your Lotus-Feet!

```

39263

```

The most painful truth

Is that I still have not made

My complete surrender

To God’s Will. ```

39264

```

I always try to speak

With my heart

When I speak to God.

```

39265

```

My self-giving

Shall reach perfection

Only when I am able

To love and serve the world

For the betterment of the world.

```

39266

```

Lo, the miracle of miracles:

My God-defiance-mind

Has become

My God-reliance-heart. ```

39267

```

My hope-heart

At every moment

Secretly and eagerly clasps

My Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```

39268

```

My Lord Supreme,

Please do not allow me

To take my concentration off

Your Lotus-Feet. ```

39269

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do rescue me

From my mind-cherished

Ignorance-cave! ```

39270

```

Who can help me,

Who will help me

When I fall,

If not my Lord’s Compassion-Eye? ```

39271

```

If you want to be

On God’s Team,

Do not waste even a fleeting second.

Cry for God-Arrival on earth. ```

39272

```

My Lord wants me

To smile, sing and dance

For Him.

He has made the decision

To give me the capacity

To run the fastest in my spiritual life. ```

39273

```

My Lord Supreme,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Distributes all His Love and Affection

Among His chosen children. ```

39274

```

To be a front-row seeker,

I must be extremely eager

And self-giving.

```

39275

```

Fortunate are those

Who do not need the repetition

Of God’s Advice

A second time. ```

39276

```

I must kick all my doubts

And suspicions

So that I can become

God’s true pride. ```

39277

```

Vision

I always had.

What I need now

Is prayerful

And self-giving action.

```

39278

```

Since I know that there is

An inner life,

How is it that I am not

Paying more attention

To that inner life?

```

39279

```

Love is not enough,

Devotion is not enough,

Surrender is not enough,

But oneness is more than enough! ```

39280

```

My Lord,

Do tell me who I was

In my previous incarnation.

“My child,

Those who march forward ceaselessly

Are My true children,

And I would like you to be one of those.”

```

39281

```

Of all the undivine forces

In our nature,

Self-admiration

Is the worst possible. ```

39282

```

My God-oneness regained

Makes me

Unimaginably happy.

```

39283

```

My Lord,

How I wish to supply You

With happy, happier and happiest news

Every day. ```

39284

```

A hyperactive mind

Goes nowhere. ```

39285

```

Every day

I enter into my silence-heart-room

To hear my Lord’s Messages

For the transformation of the world. ```

39286

```

May my eyes

Remain always fixed

On my God-realisation-task.

```

39287

```

The road to Heaven is paved

Not with outer abilities

But with inner qualities.

```

39288

```

To think of

Overnight God-realisation

Is the height of stupidity.

```

39289

```

Anything

That we do soulfully

Cannot be a waste of time.

```

39290

```

My Lord is so indulgent

To me!

He allows me to do so many things

Against His own express Will. ```

39291

```

The mind-jungle

Will definitely be illumined

By the heart-garden.

God alone knows the exact hour! ```

39292

```

How often we swerve

From the path of Truth,

Yet God forgives us

Again and again. ```

39293

```

What a cosmic joke:

My Lord takes pride

In me!

```

39294

```

God smiles and cries

When we pride ourselves

On our achievements.

```

39295

```

To invite God,

We must keep our heart-door

Wide open.

```

39296

```

How I wish

I could decorate

My Lord’s Heart-Room.

```

39297

```

How I wish

I could paint a portrait

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

39298

```

God-awareness today,

God-intimacy tomorrow,

God-satisfaction in God’s own Way

The day after. ```

39299

```

When we work for God,

We must pay all attention

To our attitude.

```

39300

```

We cannot be perfect

Unless and until

Our body, vital, mind and heart

Work in perfect unison

For God.

```

39301

```

God-pleasing activities

Are not so difficult

To perform.

```

39302

```

God aspires, God reveals, God manifests

In and through me,

But He wants me to take the full credit,

And I shamelessly agree. ```

39303

```

My mind, can you not see

My heart has already touched

My Lord’s Feet?

My mind, why do you delay? ```

39304

```

Whenever God asks me

To do something,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

He gives me the capacity

Unparalleled.

```

39305

```

My cries for God

On earth and in Heaven

Have to be the same —

They must maintain the same standard. ```

39306

```

Mother Nature is so compassionate!

She shows us how to aspire

For the Highest

Unconditionally. ```

39307

```

Even if I live my life

A thousand times over,

My gratitude-heart will not be worthy

Of my Lord’s Compassion infinite. ```

39308

```

My life was fully secure

The day I placed my proud head

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme.

```

39309

```

God’s

Compassion-Eye

Dreams.

```

39310

```

God’s

Forgiveness-Heart

Fulfils.

```

39311

```

May my one moment

With God

Be like an Eternity.

```

39312

```

Spiritual discipline

Must precede

All other good qualities.

```

39313

```

If the cosmic gods

Do not want to mix with me,

No harm,

As long as my Absolute Lord Supreme

Thinks of me and plays with me.

```

39314

```

When Delight will be manifested on earth,

We have no idea,

But we do feel that God’s Delight

Will one day inundate the earth. ```

39315

```

Only spiritually strong seekers

Will be able to manifest God

Most satisfactorily.

```

39316

```

When I see my life-breath

Kissing the Compassion-Feet

Of my Lord Supreme,

My joy knows no bounds. ```

39317

```

My heart loves to do

Only one thing:

It loves to sing sleeplessly

Devotion-songs. ```

39318

```

Without the purification

Of the body,

Life will remain unchanged.

```

39319

```

If it is a true aspiration-fire,

Then nobody

Can extinguish it forever.

```

39320

```

God thinks of our oneness-hearts

When He sings our praises

To the cosmic gods.

```

39321

```

When I become completely one

With the dust of my Lord’s Feet,

I feel that I have become

Perfect perfection. ```

39322

```

Self-giving at every moment

Creates a new God

Inside our heart.

```

39323

```

A mountaintop can give us

The message of silence,

But not the message of delight.

```

39324

```

The ultimate realisation

Is not enough.

The ultimate manifestation

Completes the Game. ```

39325

```

No other medicine,

Save and except

My Lord’s Scolding-Medicine,

Cures all my earth-weaknesses. ```

39326

```

My gratitude-heart

Is, indeed,

My proudest achievement.

```

39327

```

No more

Will worldly pleasures

Be able to bring me down!

```

39328

```

Bliss,

Do allow me

To accompany you

To the Golden Shore! ```

39329

```

When the heart makes progress,

It is solid

And permanent.

```

39330

```

When the mind

Achieves success,

It is all uncertainty.

```

39331

```

O rainbow-beauty,

Do pay a short visit

To my life-duty.

```

39332

```

Expectation

Is

A joy-extinguisher.

```

39333

```

When God’s Eye

Smiles,

I run towards God.

```

39334

```

When my heart-eye

Cries,

God runs towards me

Faster than the fastest. ```

39335

```

To achieve the Goal of goals,

Your heart has to be

All eagerness

And your life has to be

All oneness.

```

39336

```

The mind watches

The stupendous

Science-achievement channel

Only to be confounded. ```

39337

```

The heart watches

The momentous

God-discovery channel

To be completely illumined. ```

39338

```

Look at God

Only with

A God-dreamer-eye.

```

39339

```

Feel God

Only with

A God-oneness-heart.

```

39340

```

Our funny life-stories

Even God

Cannot resist hearing.

```

39341

```

Your wild desire

Is to become

The Lord of the Universe.

```

39342

```

Your mild desire

Is to be

Completely at God’s Feet.

```

39343

```

My heart-garden-joy

Shall always remain unparalleled

In my life-story.

```

39344

```

Give not God a tiny portion of credit

For your earthly success-life.

Give God, if you are wise,

The full credit. ```

39345

```

The heart-invitation

Is more than enough —

So says my soul.

```

39346

```

The mind-invitation

Neither God

Nor God-surrendered people

Take seriously. ```

39347

```

Today

My life’s dream-boat

Thinks incessantly

Of the Golden Shore. ```

39348

```

Those who live in utter faith

Will one day be amply rewarded

By my Lord Supreme.

```

39349

```

Anything

That the mind makes

Is collapsible.

```

39350

```

Devotion

Is an express train

Towards the Destination

Unknowable. ```

39351

```

My devotion

Is my Lord’s

Real Satisfaction.

```

39352

```

An unwillingness-life

Shall have the bitter taste

Of ruthless failure.

```

39353

```

Every day

God’s Compassion-Eye

Prunes my heart-garden.

```

39354

```

My Lord

Always keeps my heart

Inside His own Heart-Safe.

```

39355

```

Every day

My Lord has a tough day

With my mind and vital.

```

39356

```

God’s tiredness and weariness

Decrease

The moment we give Him

A smiling face. ```

39357

```

Only the good heart-singers

Love to listen

When God rings

The attendance bell. ```

39358

```

My Lord,

Do give me a new mind,

But please, please,

Keep my old heart forever! ```

39359

```

When God leaves me,

I tell Him He is stone-hearted,

But when He is in me and for me,

Do I offer Him

Even an iota of gratitude?

```

39360

```

God starts crying for me

Even before

I start crying for God.

```

39361

```

Days turn into nights,

Nights turn into days —

Still I forget to think of

My Lord Supreme. ```

39362

```

I cry for two things:

God-closeness

And

God-fondness. ```

39363

```

Before,

Only my heart was for God,

But now my entire existence —

Mind, vital and body —

Are all for Him.

```

39364

```

Great men come into this world

And great men go away from this world,

But when good men come,

Mother Earth clasps them

And does not allow them to go away.

```

39365

```

Rest assured,

Your humility-heart

Will before long

Be rewarded. ```

39366

```

My Lord, I love You only!

“My child, I know it.

It is all true.”

```

39367

```

God’s Presence

And my heart’s infinite joy

Can never be separated.

```

39368

```

No, no, my Lord —

Even Your fleeting Absence

Shall stab my heart!

```

39369

```

I live on earth

Only to make my Lord happy

And keep Him happy.

```

39370

```

My Lord,

I have been cherishing anger towards You

For a long time,

But now You have melted my heart

With Your Wisdom-Delight.

```

39371

```

Your ardent love of God

Shall definitely expedite

Your inner journey.

```

39372

```

When it comes to God,

Be as sincere and self-giving

As possible.

```

39373

```

My ceaseless love

Of God

Is my only source

Of happiness. ```

39374

```

To be favoured by God,

I must prayerfully claim Him

As my own, very own.

```

39375

```

My God-love comes from

My aspiration-heart

And from nowhere else.

```

39376

```

My Lord tells me

That if I think that I am hopeless,

Then He cannot and does not want

To do anything with me. ```

39377

```

My Lord, when I look into Your Eye,

I am not fully satisfied,

But when I sit at Your Feet,

I am satisfied —

More than satisfied!

```

39378

```

The human life

Says to the divine life:

“Why are you so indifferent?”

```

39379

```

The divine life

Says to the human life:

“Why are you so unaspiring?”

```

39380

```

When my heart rings

My Lord’s Heart-Bell,

The divine in me

And the undivine in me

Together dance.

```

39381

```

When I am with my soul,

I see my Goal

At a distance,

But when I am not with my soul,

I see not my Goal anywhere.

```

39382

```

The true seekers’ lives

Are made of God-aspiration

And God-satisfaction.

```

39383

```

My Lord,

Do You know that I am extremely happy

With my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life?

“My child,

Perhaps I have something to do with it!” ```

39384

```

I call it

My aspiration-hour.

God calls it

His Compassion-Shower. ```

39385

```

My Lord,

Why are You so slow in pleasing me?

“My child,

What else can I do

If you sleep and sleep and sleep

More than I ever expected?” ```

39386

```

My Lord,

Are You aware of all my activities?

“It all depends on you, My child.

If you feel that I am fully aware,

Then I am.

If not, I know nothing of you,

Plus I do not want to know anything of you!”

```

39387

```

My Lord,

Are You really pleased with me?

“My child,

I am not your teacher,

I am not your tutor.

Ask your heart, the teacher.

Your heart will give you

The most correct answer.” ```

39388

```

O world,

I do not care even if you disdain me

To your heart’s content!

I shall always fight against

Your treacheries and mockeries.

```

39389

```

There is nothing

That cannot be acquired and achieved

In the inner world.

```

39390

```

Let me assure you,

O world —

I came to you to serve you,

And not to instruct you. ```

39391

```

Personal success:

This is what each human being

Wants.

```

39392

```

We must need,

At times,

Trance-bound meditation.

```

39393

```

What is self-doubt,

If not

Death-invitation?

```

39394

```

Inaudible God-cries

Are no cries. ```

39395

```

In the spiritual life,

Relaxation means

The immediate descent

Of consciousness. ```

39396

```

Anything desire-born

Is

Dissatisfactory.

```

39397

```

The mind does not know

That it is attracted

To inevitable destruction.

```

39398

```

There was a time

When I knew only

How to whine,

But now I know only

How to shine.

```

39399

```

The silence-sound

Of the heart

Protects us, illumines us

And fulfils us. ```

39400

```

My Lord,

I think only of my needs.

Do give me the capacity

To think of Your Needs as well. ```

39401

```

There is a constant battle

Between

The mind’s wild thoughts

And

The heart’s pure feelings.

```

39402

```

If realisation is your aim,

Then look deeper

And live an inner life.

```

39403

```

The desire-life

Is closely followed

By a severe penalty.

```

39404

```

A tall aspiration-tree

Is not afraid of

A desire-knife.

```

39405

```

The proper meaning of life

Is a forward march

And not a backward walk.

```

39406

```

If we only had taken the time

To better the world,

We would have definitely

Succeeded! ```

39407

```

Love

Is a gate

To a higher life.

```

39408

```

Devotion

Is a gate

To the inner life.

```

39409

```

Surrender

Is a gate

To the God-life.

```

39410

```

I have tried in so many ways

To conquer my self-doubt,

But I have failed.

Now I have taken to

Sitting at my Lord’s Feet

As my last resort,

And I am sure I will succeed.

```

39411

```

My Lord,

I really love You

Infinitely more

Than my spoken words can express! ```

39412

```

I always try to smile

With my heart’s

Gratitude-sunshine.

```

39413

```

I have forsaken

Everything in my life,

Save and except

My Lord’s Smile. ```

39414

```

God tells me

Never to keep

My heart-door locked.

```

39415

```

Sleeping for long hours

Has no charm

For a true God-lover.

```

39416

```

Indulgence

Comes in;

Intelligence

Goes out. ```

39417

```

The moment I open my heart

Is the very beginning

Of my spiritual start.

```

39418

```

Why do I need a Master?

Why do I need

My progress-assurance!

```

39419

```

Lack of faith

Means a cataclysm

In spirituality.

```

39420

```

My Lord,

Do not allow

My manifestation of Your Light

On earth

To be stagnant.

```

39421

```

The self-sufficiency-boat

Is bound to capsize

Sooner or later.

```

39422

```

Only my unconditional surrender

Has the capacity

To take giant steps

Heavenward. ```

39423

```

God-faith-famine

Reigns supreme. ```

39424

```

True, the mind-sky

Has dark clouds,

But what prevents me

From rising above them,

With the help of my soul?

```

39425

```

Heaven’s Beauty

Fascinates me. ```

39426

```

Earth’s duty

Illumines me. ```

39427

```

God wants me to be

An aptitude-seeker;

He does not want me to be

A multitude-admirer. ```

39428

```

The outer world

Is

Darkness-pride.

```

39429

```

The inner world

Is

God-aspiration.

```

39430

```

The outer world

Is afraid of

The unknown.

```

39431

```

The inner world

Is not afraid of the unknown —

Not even of the Unknowable.

```

39432

```

There is always a tug-of-war

Between insecurity-pride

And security-confidence.

```

39433

```

If you do not have implicit faith

In your Inner Pilot,

Then it is not worth entering into

The spiritual life. ```

39434

```

If you do not have devotion

To your Inner Pilot,

Then you are wasting your time

In the spiritual life. ```

39435

```

Heaven

Believes in

Powerful promises.

```

39436

```

Earth

Believes in

Flowering hopes.

```

39437

```

We do not have to pursue happiness.

Happiness will run towards us

When we make progress

In our God-surrender. ```

39438

```

My Lord,

Your Absence has created

Excruciating pain inside my heart.

Do descend

With Your torrential Blessing-Rain!

```

39439

```

Grace infinite is needed

From Above

To change humanity’s face.

```

39440

```

The heart

Has to be clothed

In purity.

```

39441

```

The mind

Has to be clothed

In sincerity.

```

39442

```

The vital

Has to be clothed

In intensity.

```

39443

```

The body

Has to be clothed

In alacrity.

```

39444

```

The life

Has to be clothed

In simplicity.

```

39445

```

The soul

Has to be clothed

In divinity.

```

39446

```

My Lord’s Lotus-Feet

Are for the pure heart

And the impure mind

Alike. ```

39447

```

How I wish I could live

All the time

In the hallowed sanctuary

Of my heart. ```

39448

```

If there is no regularity

In our prayers and meditations,

God has every right

To remain silent. ```

39449

```

I looked everywhere for shelter.

Finally, I came and took shelter

Inside my heart-nest.

Now happiness is my new name. ```

39450

```

Only one question looms large

In my mind:

How many times

Is God going to forgive me? ```

39451

```

Occult power

Has to work, at times,

Quicker than a lightning flash.

```

39452

```

I have practised every day

My self-giving lesson

Without fail.

```

39453

```

The higher a seeker goes,

The more earth-responsibilities

He has to embrace.

```

39454

```

We expect everything from God —

Celestial and terrestrial —

But God expects only one thing from us:

Happiness. ```

39455

```

Say “No!”

To your mind

Once more.

```

39456

```

Say “Yes!” and “Yes!” and “Yes!”

To your heart

Ever more.

```

39457

```

God-Victory

Here and now!

Everything else can be done

In the near or distant future. ```

39458

```

May God’s Protection-Feet

Always take care of

My life.

```

39459

```

God wants me

To establish with Him

A sacred friendship-bond.

```

39460

```

I am no longer at a loss,

For my Lord Supreme

Is taking care of my inner life,

And outer life as well,

With His infinite Compassion-Heart.

```

39461

```

Faith has only one place,

Our aspiration-heart. ```

39462

```

A happy heart

Does not believe in

Idle rest.

```

39463

```

Alas, it is so easy for doubt

To enter secretly

Into the mind!

```

39464

```

My Lord Supreme,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Tells me only one thing:

“Never give up, My child,

Never give up!”

```

39465

```

My Lord Krishna

Plays His Heart-Flute-Melodies

Inside my own heart

All the time. ```

39466

```

To smile sincerely

Is to have a heart

Of peace and bliss.

```

39467

```

My Lord always thinks

Very highly of me.

How is it

That I cannot do the same? ```

39468

```

My heart is calling me

Most urgently.

I cannot roam any more

In my mind-jungle. ```

39469

```

There was a time

When I carried many things with me

Wherever I went.

But now I carry only one thing,

God’s Compassion-Eye,

Wherever I go. ```

39470

```

I follow

Faithfully and devotedly

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet.

```

39471

```

When I am happy,

Heaven

Is just next door.

```

39472

```

When I am happy,

God acts in and through me,

Faster than the fastest.

```

39473

```

When I am happy,

God tells me

That my perfection-life

Is already blossoming. ```

39474

```

When I am happy,

I see absolutely nothing wrong

In this world.

```

39475

```

When I am happy,

I am in all

And I am for all.

```

39476

```

When I am happy,

I do not mind

If each and every human being

Goes ahead of me,

For I have established my oneness

With them. ```

39477

```

God’s

Secret Hands

Guide me.

```

39478

```

God’s

Sacred Heart

Blesses me.

```

39479

```

When my mind is pure,

My heart becomes

Happier than the happiest.

```

39480

```

I have forced

My ignorance-friends

To leave me.

```

39481

```

My mind

Has completely stopped for good

All negativity-thoughts.

```

39482

```

My heart

Always prefers love

To power.

```

39483

```

God’s pride-seeds

Grow fast, very fast,

Inside our devotion-hearts.

```

39484

```

Heaven shines

In all its beauty

Wherever it sees peace.

```

39485

```

When I offer my smiles to God,

He says to me:

“My child, you are all Mine.”

```

39486

```

When I offer my tears to God,

He says to me:

“My child, I am all yours.”

```

39487

```

My mind of negativity

Has finally surrendered

To my

Oneness-heart-happiness-smile. ```

39488

```

My Heaven

Is where

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye is.

```

39489

```

My Heaven

Is where

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart is.

```

39490

```

My Heaven

Is where

My Lord powerfully commands me.

```

39491

```

My Lord repeatedly tells me

That I belong to His World-Family

And not to my own puny self!

```

39492

```

Ignorance

Is our torturer,

Yet we are its lover.

```

39493

```

To open God’s Heart

Is to close the mouth

Of ignorance.

```

39494

```

To offer encouragement

To others

Is to expedite our own

Aspiration-journey. ```

39495

```

My Lord,

At Your Feet

My heart, mind, vital and body

Will turn into flower-blossoms. ```

39496

```

I must take my life

Very seriously

If I want to please my Lord

Constantly. ```

39497

```

My only qualification

Is my implicit faith

In my Lord Supreme.

```

39498

```

Slowly, steadily and unerringly —

Not in a rush —

Is the only way to enter into

My Lord’s Heart-Home. ```

39499

```

I need only three friends:

Eagerness-heart,

Willingness-mind,

Readiness-life. ```

39500

```

The God-dedicated life

Is all important

In the spiritual world.

```

39501

```

God takes very special care

Of the heart-letters

That are exchanged

Between Him and humanity. ```

39502

```

I must become a God-lover first,

And then, only then,

Can I become

A true God-believer. ```

39503

```

The mind

Loves to show

The ‘stop’ sign.

```

39504

```

The heart

Loves to show

The ‘speed’ sign.

```

39505

```

Heaven

Loves to show

The ‘caution’ sign.

```

39506

```

When we stop in the middle of

Our Godward journey,

Neither the higher worlds

Nor the lower worlds

Care for us.

```

39507

```

The outer school

Does not know

How to educate —

It only knows

How to elucidate.

```

39508

```

My Lord’s Compassion

Means

His Heart-Fragrance.

```

39509

```

God never minds

If I am extremely greedy

For His Compassion and Affection.

```

39510

```

Spiritual music

Comes directly

From God’s Heart.

```

39511

```

Power

Frightens us. ```

39512

```

Beauty

Enlightens us. ```

39513

```

God’s unconditional Grace

Carries us unmistakably

To Him.

```

39514

```

Only I know,

And my heart knows,

That God really, really loves me.

```

39515

```

Only I feel,

And my heart feels,

That there is nothing

That my Lord Supreme

Will not do for me

To expedite my spiritual journey. ```

39516

```

Only I see,

And my heart sees,

That God’s Creation

Is all beauty. ```

39517

```

To love God

Is to eventually become

God Himself.

```

39518

```

When God comes to me,

He sees that I am not at all prepared,

But His unconditional Compassion

Waits and waits for me to be fully ready.

When I am all ready,

God proudly takes me

As His life-partner.

```

39519

```

I love

My God-gratitude-heart-tears

Infinitely more than anything else.

```

39520

```

God loves to swing

Between my gratitude-heart

And surrender-life.

```

39521

```

The mind

Loves to enjoy

God-criticism.

```

39522

```

The heart

Suffers terribly

From God-criticism.

```

39523

```

A gratitude-express-heart

Is treasured

By God.

```

39524

```

To be independent

Is to walk

On quicksand.

```

39525

```

God-dependence

Means

The firmest life-footing.

```

39526

```

The face of Fate

Constantly changes. ```

39527

```

He who does not aspire

Feels that death

Is the very end.

```

39528

```

Unfortunate days

Can be turned into

Fortunate days

On the strength of

One’s self-offering

To God. ```

39529

```

May my heart blossom

Every day

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme.

```

39530

```

Progress-joy

Beckons me

From afar.

```

39531

```

Aspiration-ride

Is always a thrill. ```

39532

```

My Lord’s

Heart-Market-Store

Never charges.

```

39533

```

Dauntless seekers

Are always

On the march.

```

39534

```

Stupidity

And insecurity

Never succeed.

```

39535

```

Any moment

Is the right moment

When we want to do

Something good. ```

39536

```

Peaceful prayers

Come to the fore

From the very depths

Of the heart. ```

39537

```

God knows well

That His Commands will not succeed;

Therefore, He laughs and laughs

To change our nature. ```

39538

```

Everything has to be one-pointed:

One-pointed God-aspiration,

One-pointed God-dedication,

One-pointed God-fulfilment. ```

39539

```

The mind

Never wins

The best meditation-prize.

```

39540

```

God repeatedly tells me

That it is not an impossible task

For me to become

As perfect as He is. ```

39541

```

My Lord’s Heart-Garden

Invites all kinds of seekers,

Irrespective of their sincerity and purity.

```

39542

```

Like my Lord,

I shall always follow

The law of love.

```

39543

```

Whenever the mind-plane

Suffers from inclement weather,

It has a special place to crash:

Doubt-jungle. ```

39544

```

Receptivity is deeply valued

By both God

And the seeker.

```

39545

```

The mind says to the heart:

“God is nowhere.” ```

39546

```

The heart says to the mind:

“Are you blind? Are you deaf?

God is right in front of us,

Talking and talking!” ```

39547

```

Earth

Needs sound

To speak.

```

39548

```

Heaven

Needs silence

To speak.

```

39549

```

The beauty

Of the earth

Is irresistible.

```

39550

```

The fragrance

Of Heaven

Is immeasurable.

```

39551

```

Without discipline,

Life is a purposeless and useless

Merry-go-round.

```

39552

```

The vital and the mind

Always love to enjoy

The absence of wisdom.

```

39553

```

God whispers

In secrecy supreme;

Man is protest incarnate.

```

39554

```

Be careful of Time —

It may steal

All your achievements.

```

39555

```

Publicity

Was not born

With sincerity.

```

39556

```

Publicity

And insincerity

Are twins.

```

39557

```

Because of my sleepless

Heart-cries,

God is fully alive

Inside my life. ```

39558

```

God is peaceful

Only when we are beautiful,

Within and without.

```

39559

```

Our sincere smile

Is God’s

Highest reward.

```

39560

```

God’s Blessing-Smile

Steals all our unhappy,

Miserable thoughts.

```

39561

```

The frustration of my mind

Eventually must give way

To the poise of my soul.

```

39562

```

I may be able to run away

From God’s Eye,

But never, never

From His Feet. ```

39563

```

Beauty celestial

We drink. ```

39564

```

Duty terrestrial

We abhor. ```

39565

```

Today’s despair-friend

Is tomorrow’s

Destruction-enemy.

```

39566

```

Do not give up hope!

You, too, can easily be

A super-excellent God-fulfiller.

```

39567

```

Ignorance-night,

I have been with you

For a very long time.

It is more than enough!

Now I am desperately searching

For a new friend,

And I am sure that new Friend

Is fast approaching me. ```

39568

```

Real desire

And real happiness

Are not compatible.

```

39569

```

My Lord, save You,

I cannot and I do not

Claim anybody

As my own, very own. ```

39570

```

If you want to proclaim God’s Victory,

Then this is the real time —

This is the only time!

```

39571

```

To discover God,

Silence is needed

Without fail.

```

39572

```

May my life-boat ply

Between

My God-sincerity-life-shore

And

My God-intensity-heart-shore.

```

39573

```

Desire and darkness

Are interchangeable. ```

39574

```

Aspiration and light

Are interchangeable. ```

39575

```

Each God-service

Has a special significance

Of its own.

```

39576

```

My soul-songs

Serve God

As His great nourishment.

```

39577

```

Only genuine aspiration

Can be empty

Of expectation.

```

39578

```

Devotion

Is the height

Of intensity.

```

39579

```

Devotion

Shortens our road

And quickens our speed.

```

39580

```

To draw God close,

Devotion-magnet

Is par excellence.

```

39581

```

God expects from us

Only the things

That will make Him happy.

```

39582

```

My heart

Is a successful

Joy-implorer.

```

39583

```

Only one question looms large

In my mind:

Does God still love me?

```

39584

```

Self-offering-exercise

Is absolutely the best

To make us

Stronger than the strongest. ```

39585

```

Do not try to explain God

To the mind.

You are bound to fail.

```

39586

```

Again and again,

Ceaselessly say “No”

To your doubt-mind.

```

39587

```

Love the Master’s heart

Sleeplessly and breathlessly. ```

39588

```

Serve the Master’s feet

Unreservedly and unconditionally. ```

39589

```

Lock the mind-door

And unlock the heart-door

Simultaneously.

```

39590

```

Wisdom-light versus ignorance-night:

A constant battle.

Victory eventually goes to

Wisdom-light. ```

39591

```

Protect your heart’s

Sweet feelings

About God.

```

39592

```

I must not become

Another seeker-failure. ```

39593

```

You are safe only when

You seek shelter

In your own heart-nest.

```

39594

```

I meditate every day

With the golden silence

Of the blossoming dawn.

```

39595

```

My desire-life

Enjoys

Dictatorship.

```

39596

```

My aspiration-life

Enjoys

God-ownership.

```

39597

```

Since God is all love for me,

What is wrong with me?

Can I not be the same for God?

```

39598

```

Rest assured,

Ignorance

Is not going to leave you —

You are the one

Who must do the needful.

```

39599

```

O seeker,

God has already fully blossomed

Inside your heart.

Use your Eye that sees,

And not the eyes that do not see.

```

39600

```

When my devotion-heart approaches God,

God jumps up from His golden Throne

To welcome and embrace

My devotion-heart. ```

39601

```

My soul is ringing

The final bell:

My Lord is arriving!

```

39602

```

When a happiness-heart

Sings,

It is most haunting.

```

39603

```

There shall come a time

In the near future

When I shall be living

Only for my Lord Supreme. ```

39604

```

When my heart

Speedily runs,

I transcend all barriers.

```

39605

```

The outer strength

Is

Extremely limited.

```

39606

```

The inner power

Is

Unimaginably unlimited.

```

39607

```

Ecstasy is my name,

For my Lord has occupied

My entire being.

```

39608

```

Pushing is not the right way;

Pulling is not the right way.

Surrender unconditional

To God’s Will

Is the only right way.

```

39609

```

The easiest thing

For the mind

Is to think ill of others.

```

39610

```

The most difficult thing

For the mind

Is to identify itself with the victories

Of another individual. ```

39611

```

I must realise God

Long before

The final curtain falls.

```

39612

```

Unbelievable!

In spite of all my imperfections,

My Lord thinks very highly of me.

```

39613

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Has a very special connection

With my life-energy-flow.

```

39614

```

The harder we try

To hide from God’s Eye,

The sooner we get caught!

```

39615

```

The outer heat

Is the source

Of our discomfort.

```

39616

```

The inner heat

Is the beginning

Of our self-discovery.

```

39617

```

When with two empty hands

I go to God,

He laughs and laughs at me.

```

39618

```

When with an empty heart

I go to God,

He immediately embraces me.

```

39619

```

God does not want me

To sacrifice my earth-existence

To Him.

```

39620

```

God wants me

To offer Him

My all.

```

39621

```

If we can take everything

In a divine way,

Then there is no real misfortune.

```

39622

```

Each time I offer

My prayerful and soulful tears

To God,

My life and I

Make the fastest progress.

```

39623

```

When I look upward,

I see

God’s beautiful Eye.

```

39624

```

When I look forward,

I see

God’s powerful Eye.

```

39625

```

When I look inward,

I see

God’s blessingful Eye.

```

39626

```

If we cannot dare to claim God

As our own, very own,

Then God-realisation will remain

A far cry. ```

39627

```

The mind-teacher teaches me,

But because of its cleverness,

It never takes any responsibility.

```

39628

```

The heart-teacher teaches me,

But because of its compassion

And affection,

It comes forward and is eager

To take full responsibility for my life.

```

39629

```

God wants my mind

To take my defeat

As my victory.

With my mind, He fails. ```

39630

```

God wants my heart

To take my victory

As my defeat.

With my heart, He succeeds. ```

39631

```

God feels sad but not mad

When a seeker is afraid of answering

God’s question.

```

39632

```

A sleepless

God-obedience-heart

Is

An extremely rare achievement. ```

39633

```

God loves us more, infinitely more,

When we are sincerely

And self-givingly eager

To think of Him and need Him

More than we do now.

```

39634

```

Being an Indian soul,

I must first think of God

And pray to God

Before I do anything else. ```

39635

```

Every day we must try

Lovingly, devotedly and self-givingly

To exceed

Our past achievements. ```

39636

```

My morning God-songs

Are full of

Newness-smiles.

```

39637

```

My evening God-songs

Are full of

Whispers from the Beyond.

```

39638

```

The life does not want

But unmistakably needs

Simplicity.

```

39639

```

The mind does not want

But unmistakably needs

Sincerity.

```

39640

```

The body does not want

But definitely needs

Wakefulness.

```

39641

```

The vital loves aggression,

But what it needs

Is dynamism.

```

39642

```

Quite strange!

The heart loves insecurity,

But security is the only thing

The heart needs

All the time.

```

39643

```

Friendship

Takes birth

Only in mutual trust.

```

39644

```

I worship God

Because it is the only thing

That gives me real joy.

```

39645

```

Be not afraid of vastness.

It is vastness that our mind needs

To arrive at

The ultimate Truth. ```

39646

```

It is easier for the vital and the body

To listen to God

Than for the doubting and suspecting mind.

```

39647

```

When we establish

Our friendship with God,

At times He enjoys fulfilling

Even our absurd demands. ```

39648

```

The human life has to be accepted

And not rejected,

If you really love God

And want to manifest God

Here on earth.

```

39649

```

Beautiful, more beautiful,

Most beautiful —

The golden disc in the eastern firmament

Early in the morning! ```

39650

```

The outer height

Gives the body, the vital

And the mind

Abundant joy. ```

39651

```

The inner height

Gives my heart, my soul

And even my Inner Pilot

Infinite joy. ```

39652

```

The outer bird

We try to feed

Lovingly.

```

39653

```

The inner bird

Feeds us

Compassionately and self-givingly.

```

39654

```

Once God rings the bell,

He just tolerates the late-comers,

Whereas He deeply appreciates

Those who arrive immediately,

At the right moment.

```

39655

```

Every morning

God enters my heart-grove

And sings most hauntingly

His celestial Songs. ```

39656

```

God, if You really love me,

Then You must scold me mercilessly

If ever I do something wrong,

Even something quite insignificant. ```

39657

```

God finds my impurity-mind

Easier to take

Than my insincerity-heart.

```

39658

```

My Lord, I try so hard

To merge into

Your Consciousness!

Just for a fleeting second,

Please, please fulfil

My long-cherished desire. ```

39659

```

Divine beauty is not to be found

In the mind, vital and body.

It is to be found

Only in the purity of the heart. ```

39660

```

When I pray,

God gives me

Lightning-speed.

```

39661

```

When I do not pray,

God gives me

Indian bullock-cart-speed.

```

39662

```

Of all the cosmic gods,

Lord Shiva is the one

Who, when pleased,

Fulfils our desires

Sooner than the soonest.

```

39663

```

When we please Lord Vishnu,

His Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Start functioning in our hearts

With utmost velocity.

```

39664

```

When we please God

Most self-givingly,

He invites us to accompany Him

While He walks along the heart-avenues. ```

39665

```

The sun is powerful,

The moon is beautiful,

But only the God-loving heart

Is bountiful and fruitful. ```

39666

```

My Lord, I wish You to dwell

In between

My heart’s streaming tears

And

My soul’s beaming smiles

All the time. ```

39667

```

My Lord, is it true that quite often

The angels come and dream

Through my eyes

And dance inside my heart?

“My child, wake up, wake up!

The answer is in the affirmative!” ```

39668

```

When my soul sings

My heart-melodies

Before my Lord Supreme,

His Joy knows no bounds. ```

39669

```

In the inner world

The tranquillity of the mind

Remains always unparalleled.

```

39670

```

O Goddess Lakshmi,

Why do you hide your celestial beauty

And your infinite wealth

From me?

Why, why?

```

39671

```

May my life-boat

Reach its Destination

In this lifetime, without fail.

```

39672

```

It is the inner light

That awakens us

From our age-old slumbers.

```

39673

```

The finite can embody

The Infinite

If so is the express Will of God.

```

39674

```

God tells me that to please Him

In every part of my being

Is not an impossible task.

```

39675

```

Try, try we must

If progress

Is our sole aim.

```

39676

```

It is absolutely true that patience

Is of paramount importance

If we want to succeed

In our spiritual life. ```

39677

```

Darkness loves to cling to us.

It is we who have to cast aside darkness

From our entire being.

```

39678

```

While I was taking birth,

My Lord asked my soul

Not to allow my body

To wallow

In the pleasures of abundance-sleep.

```

39679

```

God compels and forces some seekers

Who are inwardly fully awakened,

Yet outwardly take time

To abide by God’s Will. ```

39680

```

Without positive thinking,

We cannot make

Any satisfactory progress

In our inner life. ```

39681

```

As satisfaction has no end,

Even so,

Perfection has no end.

```

39682

```

To see the Face of God

Satisfactorily,

First I must sit at the Feet of God

Gently, prayerfully, soulfully

And self-givingly.

```

39683

```

Even if we try our best

Not to think of God,

There comes a time when

Someone from deep within

Compels us to think of God

Against our will! ```

39684

```

Every day

The beauty and fragrance

Of newness

Must enter into my heart. ```

39685

```

Up until now, my Lord,

I have been asking You to give me.

Today I have changed my mind:

From now on, I shall give You ceaselessly

What I have and what I am.

```

39686

```

Centuries pass by.

Humankind’s progress

Is meagre.

```

39687

```

There was a time

When I loved to enjoy competition.

Now, I love to watch the completion

Of any soulful game. ```

39688

```

Stop thinking, by all means!

Lo, how beautifully and perfectly

You are able to meditate on God.

```

39689

```

The outer run

Makes our mind and vital

Very happy.

```

39690

```

The inner run

Brings us the message

Of God-realisation

And God-manifestation

Here on earth.

```

39691

```

Self-sufficient human beings

And God-sufficient seekers

Never sail together.

```

39692

```

When God gives us the inner power,

He repeatedly tells us

To use the inner power

Only constructively

And never destructively.

```

39693

```

God constantly tells me

To smile at Him,

Even for a while.

```

39694

```

The difference between my heart

And my mind

Is this:

My heart loves to whisper,

And my mind loves to murmur.

```

39695

```

When I see God’s Eye,

I take everybody

As my friend.

```

39696

```

When I feel God’s Heart,

I take everybody

As a perfect human being.

```

39697

```

My mind, be kind!

Be generous!

Give positive thinking

At least one chance. ```

39698

```

If you want to succeed,

Be sincere in your mind,

Be pure in your heart.

```

39699

```

When ignorance is challenged

Drastically,

It surrenders helplessly.

```

39700

```

One glance from my Lord Supreme

Can turn the darkest night

Into the brightest day.

```

39701

```

No service

Can ever equal

Our God-service.

```

39702

```

We must realise

That our God-readiness

Leads us immediately

To God-closeness. ```

39703

```

God’s smiling Beauty

My heart drinks and drinks

All the time.

```

39704

```

If the cry comes

From the doubting mind,

It is no cry

At all. ```

39705

```

If the cry comes

From the aspiring heart,

Indeed, it is

A God-fulfilling cry. ```

39706

```

Every day

We must try to cultivate

A self-giving heart.

```

39707

```

Unlike the mind,

The heart sees everything

As beautiful, more beautiful

And most beautiful. ```

39708

```

Do not delay,

Do not delay,

When it is a matter

Of God-hunger! ```

39709

```

My happiness-smile

Is immediately treasured

By God Himself.

```

39710

```

Deepen your heart.

Enlighten your mind.

Awaken your life.

```

39711

```

I must, at once,

Learn wisdom-lessons

And unlearn ignorance-lessons.

```

39712

```

My victory is not my aim.

My God-satisfaction

Is my only aim.

```

39713

```

If I enjoy my self-indulgence,

How can I ever dare

To invoke God’s Assistance?

```

39714

```

God Himself

Hoists

My God-surrender-flag.

```

39715

```

Devotion itself

Is a kind of

God-dedication.

```

39716

```

Spirituality

Is not

For the curiosity-monger.

```

39717

```

My life-boat I sail

Under the guidance

Of Heavenly stars.

```

39718

```

God is eager

To play

With my devotion-heart-tears.

```

39719

```

May my heart sing

All the time

God’s Victory-Songs.

```

39720

```

Those who are thirsty

For world-attention

Will have to remain far away

From God-illumination. ```

39721

```

Disobedience

Is at once

Thoughtless and brainless.

```

39722

```

My soul

Learns God-Songs

Directly from God.

```

39723

```

Nothing is more precious

To God

Than my heart-cries.

```

39724

```

God plants every day

New seeds

In my heart-garden.

```

39725

```

Every moment I must take

As a supreme opportunity

To create a life-masterpiece.

```

39726

```

Never postpone

Your visit

To God’s Heart-Palace.

```

39727

```

My surrender-life

God proudly carries with Him

Wherever He goes.

```

39728

```

Outer action

Has to be the result of

Inner meditation.

```

39729

```

I am extremely eager

To be

A selfless God-server.

```

39730

```

God-disobedience-road:

I must never know

Where it is.

```

39731

```

My Lord

Is Forgiveness-Delight

Around the clock.

```

39732

```

How I wish

I could see everything

Through my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Eye. ```

39733

```

How I wish

I could feel everything

Through my Lord’s

Ever-forgiving Heart. ```

39734

```

God’s Will

Does not care to make

Public appearances.

```

39735

```

God never reads

My mind’s

World-complaint-letters.

```

39736

```

When I kneel down

At God’s Feet,

He gives me His Heart-Wings

To fly. ```

39737

```

I must always be on the lookout

For God’s Satisfaction

In every possible way.

```

39738

```

How far or how near I am

To God-realisation

Only God knows.

```

39739

```

I am

My weeping heart;

God is

His consoling Smiles. ```

39740

```

My Lord quite often

Takes my heart

To accompany Him.

```

39741

```

Everything of everything

Can be offered

To God.

```

39742

```

Everything of everything

Can be placed

At the Lotus-Feet

Of God. ```

39743

```

If you do not have concern

For God the man,

How can you have concern

For man the God? ```

39744

```

My Lord gives Himself

To me,

Not only wholly,

But also unconditionally. ```

39745

```

God tells me

That when I am devoted to Him,

He becomes attached to me

Immediately. ```

39746

```

God’s Heart keeps looking for me.

Alas, where am I?

Where is God?

```

39747

```

God tells me that the heart is right

When it says it owns God,

And nobody else.

```

39748

```

Disobedience does not care

Even for a flood

Of God-longing tears.

```

39749

```

We need infinitely more concern

For God the Lover, God the Fulfiller

And God the Dreamer.

```

39750

```

A devotion-heart

Is made of

Purity and simplicity.

```

39751

```

Unlike us,

God’s Mind never changes

His Phone Number.

```

39752

```

Unlike us,

God’s Heart never changes

His Home Address.

```

39753

```

Every day

God expects to hear from me

Inspiring and exciting news.

```

39754

```

I am so grateful to God!

He has made me

A lifelong passenger

In His Heart-Boat. ```

39755

```

Even a fleeting distraction

Can be very harmful. ```

39756

```

My Lord,

I know You know everything,

But I would like You to know something:

I am more eager to manifest You

Than You can ever imagine!

```

39757

```

Day by day, I must try to know

How far I am supposed to go

To arrive at

God’s Forgiveness-Heart-Destination. ```

39758

```

O seeker, be not a fool!

God definitely wants you

To be around Him

All the time. ```

39759

```

I ask God

The most difficult question:

“God, please tell me,

Am I Your dearest child,

Or is somebody else?”

```

39760

```

If I dare to believe

That God loves me infinitely more

Than I can ever imagine,

Then I shall invariably make progress

In my inner life.

```

39761

```

Eagerness shortens

Our God-realisation-journey. ```

39762

```

When my heart is guided

By my Lord’s Compassion-Eye,

I feel that in spite of all my complaints

Against the world,

I still have love for the world.

```

39763

```

The gratitude of the mind

Must not be taken

Seriously.

```

39764

```

Reality can easily

Be seen and caught

By the streaming tears

Of the heart. ```

39765

```

I must serve my Lord Supreme

Sleeplessly,

With readiness, willingness

And eagerness. ```

39766

```

My Heaven is inside

The sacredness and bliss

Of my heart,

And nowhere else. ```

39767

```

Every day

I most fruitfully listen

To the Whispers

Of my Inner Pilot. ```

39768

```

I must not allow my heart

To be empty of love,

Devotion and surrender

For my Master. ```

39769

```

My mind

No more loves

Desire-stories.

```

39770

```

By loving God,

The joy that I have

Inside my heart-breath

No human being will be able

To take away.

```

39771

```

Every day

I plant a new seed

Inside my heart-garden

To please my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

39772

```

I no longer allow my mind

To make decisions for me.

I compel my mind

To obey my decisions. ```

39773

```

God tells me

That if I speak unjustly of someone,

Then there will be twenty human beings

Who will immediately speak ill of me! ```

39774

```

My heart’s goal

Is to receive boundless Love

From the Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

39775

```

My Lord, no matter what kind of hell

I create for myself,

Your boundless Affection

And boundless Concern

Will save me,

Provided I keep my heart-door open

To You, only to You,

And to nobody else. ```

39776

```

When my Lord asks me

To run towards Light —

Light infinite —

He does give me the capacity

To fulfil His Request.

```

39777

```

When I cherish

Even the smallest doubt,

My Lord Supreme becomes

Extremely sad. ```

39778

```

When I please my heart

Happily and proudly,

My soul immediately garlands me

With boundless love and joy. ```

39779

```

When my aspiration rises,

I see no darkness

In any human being.

```

39780

```

My God-obedience

Is my heart’s

Paradise-experiment.

```

39781

```

God asks me

To keep my cheerfulness-mind

Always available

For Him to use in His own Way. ```

39782

```

A purity-heart

Protects a seeker

From the hostile forces.

```

39783

```

From now on I shall not miss

Even one single opportunity

To please my Lord

In His own Way. ```

39784

```

I am crying

For my Absolute Lord Supreme

To return.

```

39785

```

My heart and I are basking

In the Compassion-Sunshine

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

39786

```

My life will be fulfilled

Only when I lose

My earth-existence

In the Heart of the Unknowable. ```

39787

```

When I sit at God’s Doorstep,

God tells me:

“Come in

And be in My Heart-Garden,

Because that is the right place!”

```

39788

```

When I pray and meditate

In the small hours of the morning,

God comes running towards me.

```

39789

```

When I have good thoughts

During the day,

My Lord tells me

That His Happiness knows no bounds. ```

39790

```

I wanted to have outer height.

God said to me:

“You fool! I want you to be

Taller than the tallest

In your inner height.”

```

39791

```

I place my Heaven-thoughts

Most devotedly

At my Lord’s Feet.

```

39792

```

Devotion

Shortens the distance

Between Heaven and earth.

```

39793

```

The heart aspires.

Heaven reveals and manifests

Everything that is divine in us.

```

39794

```

Everything is bliss

When you keep God

In mind.

```

39795

```

My tears and my smiles

Liberate me

From my mind-jungle.

```

39796

```

The mind

Knows how

To hesitate.

```

39797

```

The heart

Knows how

To accelerate.

```

39798

```

To be free

From the mind

Is to be closer

To God’s Feet. ```

39799

```

God uses

My lotus-heart

To meditate.

```

39800

```

God has become

His own Breath

To love the world

And

To care for the world.

```

39801

```

Unlike us,

God does not believe in

Vacation.

```

39802

```

In this very lifetime,

Everybody has to try hard

To realise God.

```

39803

```

My humility-whispers

God treasures. ```

39804

```

God is always ready,

Even eager,

To solve our problems,

Outer and inner. ```

39805

```

The very first step

Of our life’s long journey

Is extremely important.

```

39806

```

The beauty of the soul

Can illumine

Any human being.

```

39807

```

Not an impossible task

To break

Our world-attachment-bondage-ties.

```

39808

```

Until we have placed God’s Needs

Above everything,

We shall not succeed

In the spiritual life. ```

39809

```

Even the spiritual Masters

Of the highest order

Are nothing but

A drop of the Infinite. ```

39810

```

The soul is a child of

God the Dreamer,

God the Lover

And God the Transformer. ```

39811

```

No time for

Lethargy-enjoyment! ```

39812

```

We must forgive ourselves first,

Long before we forgive

Our enemies.

```

39813

```

Solitude makes us

Spiritually strong

And dynamic.

```

39814

```

We are nothing short of

Our feigned satisfaction. ```

39815

```

Be generous

To the extreme

In self-giving.

```

39816

```

The mind has

Its ultimatum:

Either build the world

Or destroy the world. ```

39817

```

The heart has

Its ultimatum:

Stay at God’s Feet

Or stay not in God’s Creation. ```

39818

```

The spiritual path

Is very steep.

We must all realise it.

```

39819

```

To be the beloved child

Of God,

The vital-tiger

Has to be starved to death. ```

39820

```

The secrets of life

And the secrets of death

Are interchangeable.

```

39821

```

The proud mind

Ultimately bows to

The humility-flooded heart.

```

39822

```

I must be an ardent

God-seeker, God-dreamer

And God-fulfiller.

```

39823

```

Our faith-muscles

Have to be

Extremely, extremely powerful.

```

39824

```

Countless opportunities

Each human being

Receives from Above.

```

39825

```

O seeker,

Always be active,

Dynamic and self-giving.

Then God-realisation

Will be all yours.

```

39826

```

I long to be

A ceaselessly unfading

God-faith-flower.

```

39827

```

Live inside your heart-garden.

Sooner or later,

God Himself

Will visit you. ```

39828

```

Ignorance-sleep

Must never be encouraged.

On the contrary,

Throw off

Your ignorance-sleep.

```

39829

```

Whatever God gives us

Is undoubtedly

A source of

God-Heaven-climbing inspiration. ```

39830

```

My heart exports

My God-loving tears. ```

39831

```

My soul imports

Peace and Bliss

From Above.

```

39832

```

My soul feeds

All my aspiration-hunger

Dreams and realities.

```

39833

```

The mind

Foolishly tells us

That there is no Beyond;

It is all our mental hallucination. ```

39834

```

My soul and I

Have kept a very keen interest

In each other.

```

39835

```

A doubting mind

Is

A progress-obstacle.

```

39836

```

My Lord’s Compassion,

Love and Concern-Nets

Cover the length and breadth

Of the whole world. ```

39837

```

The outer world-enjoyers

Cannot enjoy

The aspiration-flames

Of the inner world. ```

39838

```

My Lord,

You love me;

I am so grateful to You.

I shall be infinitely more grateful to You

If You just claim me

Once and for all

As Your own, very own.

```

39839

```

A oneness-heart

Is all God needs

From each and every

Individual being. ```

39840

```

We must kill insecurity

If it does not open

Its heart-door

To the divine light. ```

39841

```

God’s Creation

Is an ever-changing

Existence-reality.

```

39842

```

No material wealth

Can dare to buy

God’s Compassion-Rain.

```

39843

```

Alas, progress-road

Is quite empty

Of travellers.

```

39844

```

The soul-awareness

In our heart

So often saves us

From uncomely happenings. ```

39845

```

Do not do anything.

Just stay where you are

And wait

For God’s Trumpet Call. ```

39846

```

The world knows me

Only in my outer aspect.

My real aspect

Nobody knows

Save and except me.

```

39847

```

Self-doubt

Makes us homeless,

Senseless and useless.

```

39848

```

A seeker

Feels miserable

When he becomes aware of

All his defects. ```

39849

```

Strangely enough,

Like veritable fools,

We start boasting

About our achievements. ```

39850

```

Unless I can convince myself

That my Lord’s Grace

Is everything,

I shall not be happy

And I shall never make

Anybody happy. ```

39851

```

Every morning

My heart is flooded

With God-gratitude-tears.

```

39852

```

I must try and try,

For I am sure

At the last moment

I shall succeed. ```

39853

```

I shall never permit

My aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

To dwindle. ```

39854

```

Lo, lo, lo,

Ecstasy has come to nest

In my heart.

```

39855

```

I must have confidence

In my God-receptivity-capacity

To face all the hurdles

Ahead of me. ```

39856

```

Smiling,

A Delight-Trumpet

Brought me into the world.

```

39857

```

Proudly,

A Delight-Trumpet

Will carry me to Heaven.

```

39858

```

Calamity there is.

God-Protection

Definitely there also is.

```

39859

```

My tiny God-service

Is now surcharged

With an avalanche of capacity.

```

39860

```

My progress-life

Knows no bounds

When I go beyond

My mind’s control. ```

39861

```

Mine is the heart

That enjoys again and again

God-thrill-tremors.

```

39862

```

How stupid of me

To boast

Of my worldly knowledge,

Which is worse than useless. ```

39863

```

I pray to God

For His complete Victory

Over my earth-existence.

```

39864

```

My Lord supervises

Everything that I do

For humanity.

```

39865

```

If we want to see God,

Then we must rise

Above the mind-world.

```

39866

```

I can never devour enough

The golden dust

Of my Lord’s Feet.

```

39867

```

God-obedience

Is the only subject

That I must study.

```

39868

```

God’s dealings

With ignorance-night

Are not yet over.

```

39869

```

Tolerance

Is what we believe we need

When we think of the world.

```

39870

```

Patience

Is the only thing

That we actually need

When we think of the world. ```

39871

```

When you are ready,

You will see that God

Has been waiting for you

All along. ```

39872

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is never

Out of service.

```

39873

```

I place God’s Will

Upon my head

And inside my heart

As my most adorable Reality. ```

39874

```

O doubting mind,

Either you will leave me

On your own

Or I shall send you

To eternal sleep.

```

39875

```

There is a secret short-cut-road

That leads

To my Lord’s Heart-Home.

```

39876

```

I must develop

An insatiable

God-hunger.

```

39877

```

Each time

I do something good

For humanity,

My Lord’s Eye shows me

Amazement-Beauty.

```

39878

```

When we surrender

To God’s Will,

God feeds us

With His own Heart-Ambrosia. ```

39879

```

Prayerful and soulful

God-gratitude

Has to be

The order of the day. ```

39880

```

Although I make

Blunder after blunder,

God does not have the heart

To turn me away. ```

39881

```

It is high time

For my mind

To aspire.

```

39882

```

God is all ready.

When are you

Going to be prepared?

```

39883

```

The smiles

Of a gratitude-heart

Are irresistible.

```

39884

```

Time and again

I have seen in my life:

My Lord

Is His Forgiveness

For the asking.

```

39885

```

My heart knows that

Everything God says

Is not only true

But perfect. ```

39886

```

When we compare,

We lose the beauty and joy

Of oneness-share.

```

39887

```

My Lord

Insists and insists. ```

39888

```

Alas,

I resist and resist. ```

39889

```

Finally,

Who is the winner?

My Lord of Compassion Supreme.

```

39890

```

When we cry

For God’s Victory,

His Joy and Pride-Galaxies

Descend upon us. ```

39891

```

Today

Perfection is invisible,

But tomorrow

Perfection will be not only visible

But also serviceable.

```

39892

```

A child marvels

At a new thing. ```

39893

```

A seeker marvels

At only one thing:

God’s unconditional Compassion.

```

39894

```

A seeker’s life

Is not

An aspiration-examination.

```

39895

```

A seeker’s life

Is, indeed,

A God-satisfaction-feast.

```

39896

```

Until we offer

Our heart-tears

And life-fears

To God,

God-realisation

Will not dawn. ```

39897

```

Life is not

Desire-entertainment. ```

39898

```

Life is meant for

God-enlightenment. ```

39899

```

The fulfilment of God’s Will

Is the only religion

I proudly claim.

```

39900

```

Even when I neglect

My God-temple-heart-worship,

God’s Compassion-Eye

Never, never rejects me. ```

39901

```

Do not try to bring the future

Into your present-day life.

It will hurt you.

```

39902

```

Do not bring back the past!

You will have to change your name

To frustration.

```

39903

```

The inner life

Must never be sacrificed

For the outer life.

```

39904

```

When I do not expect,

God gives me

His All.

```

39905

```

Even

A doubt-whisper

Can be very destructive.

```

39906

```

There is no quarter-price,

Or even half-price,

For the aspiration-trophy.

```

39907

```

God-communion

Is, indeed,

The mystery of mysteries.

```

39908

```

For everything,

God always remains

Unpaid.

```

39909

```

A real disciple

Cannot be separated

From his gratitude-heart.

```

39910

```

To sit at God’s Feet

We do not need

A great length of time.

```

39911

```

Thinking prepares.

Acting reveals

And manifests.

```

39912

```

My indifference to the world

Is a shocking sight

To God.

```

39913

```

I am waiting once more

For my heart-singing songs

And life-dancing plays

To return. ```

39914

```

Humility

Does not have to be

An absent friend.

```

39915

```

Faith

Is the best promoter

Of spirituality.

```

39916

```

A genuine prayer

Can never contradict God

In anything.

```

39917

```

We must

Stand by

Our God-manifestation-promises.

```

39918

```

Either consciously or unconsciously

The mind cherishes

Worries and anxieties.

```

39919

```

My Lord,

When will You make me

A child of Your Dream?

When? ```

39920

```

I am marvelling

At my heart’s

God-gratitude-flood.

```

39921

```

Desire

Is the lowest

Way of life.

```

39922

```

My heart

Always lives

In the world of hope.

```

39923

```

My mind

Always lives

In the world

Of worries and anxieties. ```

39924

```

We must be on the alert!

God can come into our hearts

Quite unexpectedly.

```

39925

```

God smiles at me

Only to mould my life

And shape my heart.

```

39926

```

Darkness and light —

This is what

A human life is.

```

39927

```

Self-assertion

Is, indeed,

A barren field.

```

39928

```

Self-assertion

Ends

In self-destruction

```

39929

```

I shall never

Stop singing

My God-adoration-songs.

```

39930

```

If you have to cling,

Then cling to God’s Feet.

That is the only place

Where you belong. ```

39931

```

Life can never be complete

Without an aspiration-heart

And a dedication-life.

```

39932

```

The life-tree needs only

Green leaves,

With no thorns.

```

39933

```

Let my heart become

A most faithful servant

Of God.

```

39934

```

Every day

Newness is eager

To enter into

Our heart and life. ```

39935

```

My mind

Is afraid of

Serious meditation.

```

39936

```

My heart

Is extremely fond of

Serious meditation.

```

39937

```

I am

Proud of

My serious meditation.

```

39938

```

My heart-garden

Is always flooded

With the beauty of the moon.

```

39939

```

Reality

Can be at times

Extremely painful.

```

39940

```

Love

Is the only hope

Of this world.

```

39941

```

Sleepless and breathless

Love of God

Is what God means

By unconditional surrender. ```

39942

```

Enthusiasm

Is the inner light

And the outer light as well.

```

39943

```

Why has God

Given us a heart?

God has given us a heart

So that we can become

An aspiration-mountain.

```

39944

```

Why has God given us a life?

God has given us a life

So that we can become

A dedication-fountain. ```

39945

```

Before, I used to sing

To my Lord Supreme.

Now, He wants me to sing

With Him. ```

39946

```

O my mind,

It is high time

For you to love God

And need God. ```

39947

```

My heart

Is the connecting link

Between earth and Heaven.

```

39948

```

My inner faith

Carries

God-Assurance-Light.

```

39949

```

Aspiration

And dedication

Have an endless past.

```

39950

```

The path

Of the mind

Is a blindfold-course.

```

39951

```

Not God’s Smiles

But God’s Tears

Have stopped my desire-life

Completely. ```

39952

```

O Lord of all my prayers,

Where are You?

Will my excruciating pangs

Ever come to an end? ```

39953

```

When God accepts us

To do something for Him,

God tells us that we do not need

Any previous experience. ```

39954

```

A God-obedience-heart

Is full

Of ecstasy.

```

39955

```

My heart’s surrender-tears

Are extremely beautiful and pure —

So says my Lord Supreme.

```

39956

```

What does my sacrifice do?

It immediately strengthens my heart

And lengthens my life.

```

39957

```

There is

Only one safe place:

My heart-garden.

```

39958

```

My Lord suffers sleeplessly

From this unaspiring

And ungrateful world.

```

39959

```

My Lord,

Is it too late to become

A super-excellent seeker?

“No, My child! Definitely not!” ```

39960

```

My love of God

Has to be always

Simple, sincere and pure.

```

39961

```

My God-disobedience

Means the immediate death

Of my heart’s progress

And my life’s success. ```

39962

```

I must not surrender

To my stupidity-mind. ```

39963

```

I shall surrender

Only to the dictates

Of my soul.

```

39964

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To speak to You

From my heart

And never, never

Only with my lips! ```

39965

```

In the morning

My Lord teaches me

How to cry for the world.

```

39966

```

In the evening

My Lord teaches me

How to love God the Creator

And serve God the Creation

At the same time.

```

39967

```

My hope

Is my God-vision-power

Inside the depths of my heart.

```

39968

```

I am fully determined

To repair

My despair-heart.

```

39969

```

My Lord Supreme has asked me

To walk beside Him,

But I prefer to walk behind Him,

Far behind Him. ```

39970

```

When I visit my heart-land,

Who greets me?

Who else, if not

My Beloved Supreme! ```

39971

```

My silence-heart

Speaks to God

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

39972

```

I have only one desire,

Both from my inner life

And from my outer life,

And that desire is for

The Beauty

Of my Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```

39973

```

God has a very special liking

For those who remain always

Inside their heart-home.

```

39974

```

I must remain always prayerful

So that my life can be

Divinely fruitful.

```

39975

```

Now that my heart is full of sincerity,

My Lord,

I shall do everything to please You

In Your own Way. ```

39976

```

If I cannot cherish

Every moment of my life

With God,

Then I am not a real seeker. ```

39977

```

We think that we know everything,

But do we ever realise

That at every moment

God is creating

Billions of absolutely new things?

```

39978

```

May every thought

Of mine

Be sincere, pure and perfect.

```

39979

```

When you do anything for God,

It has to be completely

Uninterrupted.

```

39980

```

When pride enters into

My mind,

God asks me most difficult questions,

Which I can never answer. ```

39981

```

O my Lord Supreme,

I have been waiting for You

For such a long time,

Yet I have no idea where You are,

Alas, alas!

```

39982

```

Let me ceaselessly work

For my Lord

With no expectation whatsoever.

```

39983

```

Today

My entire being is vibrating

With my Lord’s celestial Music.

```

39984

```

True, life is full of worries

And anxieties,

But there must be some time

When I can pray to God

And meditate on Him

In absolute silence. ```

39985

```

How I wish to hear from my Lord:

“My child,

You have slept more than enough.

Now, wake up!” ```

39986

```

To love God intensely

Is to come out of the mind-prison

Immediately.

```

39987

```

The body-fever

Tortures me. ```

39988

```

The God-fever

Enraptures me. ```

39989

```

My Lord Supreme

In so many ways is trying

To secretly raise my consciousness

High, higher, highest. ```

39990

```

My Lord, what have I done?

I see You no more.

I feel You no more.

What have I done, my Lord? ```

39991

```

If I do not forgive

My own failings,

Who can and who will?

```

39992

```

My Lord,

I would like to be

Your attraction-magnet

All the time. ```

39993

```

Each heart has to bow

Before God’s Feet

To be in perfect harmony

With God’s Will. ```

39994

```

Discover your soul’s

Ever-illumining light

And ever-deepening delight.

```

39995

```

Only devotion

Is allowed to enter into

God’s express Satisfaction-Train.

```

39996

```

The eternal question:

“Who am I?”

The immediate answer:

“Who am I,

If not a direct representative of God

On earth?” ```

39997

```

My Lord,

You are so indomitable

In every aspect of Your Life,

Yet You are so lovable and sociable! ```

39998

```

My Lord, do give me the capacity

To engage myself

In serving You

With utmost devotion. ```

39999

```

God tells me

That my longing for Him

Should always have

Tremendous eagerness-power. ```

40000

```

To my greatest joy,

My heart and I

Are going to stay permanently

At our Lord’s Feet. ```
