Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 49

48001

```

My Lord,

You are the one,

And the only one,

That I love! ```

48002

```

I pray to God every day

To grant me

A dream-studded heart-sky.

```

48003

```

A God-faith-heart

Strength indomitable.

```

48004

```

God Himself

Is the Composer

Of all my devotion-heart-songs.

```

48005

```

Enthusiasm is the pathfinder

For everything good

That we do.

```

48006

```

God tells me that

A oneness-world

Is not only possible

But inevitable. ```

48007

```

Our tiny smiles

Are God’s

Most delicious meal.

```

48008

```

From this very moment,

I shall satisfy my Lord

In His own Way,

Until I breathe my last. ```

48009

```

My body, my vital, my mind

And my heart

Are meant to love and serve God,

And I am meant to become

A choice instrument of God.

```

48010

```

Alas,

Fleeting is our world

Of name and fame!

```

48011

```

God tells me

That I must take Time

As seriously as He does.

```

48012

```

First God shows us

His Fondness,

And then He gives us

His Oneness. ```

48013

```

Faith-power

Can easily shatter

Ignorance-tower.

```

48014

```

The outer life

Is terribly afraid of

The inner peace.

```

48015

```

Before, I was a God-devotee.

Now, God wants me to be

A God-server as well.

```

48016

```

We remember

God’s Love

Much longer than we remember

God’s Power. ```

48017

```

Some day

Ignorance will be

A bygone mental hallucination.

```

48018

```

The inner world smiles at me;

The outer world frowns at me

At the same time.

```

48019

```

Purity

Is the masterpiece

Of my heart-art.

```

48020

```

For a long time,

My heart has been teaching my mind

How to undo all its thought-knots.

```

48021

```

For a very long time,

My heart has been teaching my mind

How to kneel down.

```

48022

```

Only one attachment

Is worth keeping:

Our God-attachment.

```

48023

```

Disappointment-experiences

Finally surrender

To God-Appointment-joy.

```

48024

```

My Lord,

Without Your Affection-flooded Eye,

At every moment

My life would be full of problems. ```

48025

```

If I do not take my life seriously,

No harm,

But I must take God seriously

All the time. ```

48026

```

Silence is at once

Sleepless and endless. ```

48027

```

I must always find

A safe place for my Lord

In my life.

```

48028

```

My future God-dreams

Are fast approaching me. ```

48029

```

If you really want to please God,

Then start playing ceaselessly

With your child-heart.

```

48030

```

I can hide from God’s Eye

But not from God’s Heart. ```

48031

```

My Lord, I only want

What Your Heart wants

From me.

```

48032

```

My Lord, please make

My heart’s aspiration-road

Climb high, higher, highest.

```

48033

```

Seeing is not needed,

But feeling is absolutely needed,

When I walk along God’s Road.

```

48034

```

God can do everything

Except one thing —

He cannot hide

His golden Smiles

From me.

```

48035

```

My Lord,

You do not have to convince me

That You love me,

But I must convince You

At every moment

That I love You and I need You. ```

48036

```

Every morning,

God unlocks my heart-door

For the whole world to come in.

```

48037

```

My heart-beauty

Is increasing all the time

Because I love only God,

And nobody else. ```

48038

```

I do not think of

My dusty past;

I only think of

My sunlit present. ```

48039

```

My faith in God

And God’s Love for me

Together travel

From one end of the world

To the other.

```

48040

```

My Lord, please tell me

How I can lead a better life.

“Easy, My child,

Just unlearn your past.” ```

48041

```

God wants me

To ply my life-boat

Between His Truth-Shore

And His Light-Shore. ```

48042

```

A life of spirituality means

A life of God-remembrance,

God-acceptance

And God-fulfilment. ```

48043

```

I pray to God

Not for a world-fascinating mind

But for a God-hungry heart.

```

48044

```

The mind either denies

Or is afraid of

Unconditional love.

```

48045

```

I never forget to include

My gratitude-heart

Whenever I do something good

For God. ```

48046

```

Each self-giving thought

A new progress-life-song.

```

48047

```

My Lord, I pray to You

Only for one thing:

A sweetness-heart-melody.

```

48048

```

God cherishes

Everything that I have —

Specially my mind’s cheerfulness.

```

48049

```

Without aspiration,

Inspiration can never be

Successful.

```

48050

```

Alas, computer-thinking

Is forcing the heart

To run backwards.

```

48051

```

I see my heart’s

Mounting flames —

They are extremely beautiful!

```

48052

```

Nothing else lasts,

Save and except

The Master’s blessing.

```

48053

```

The human in us wants insurance.

The divine in us needs assurance —

God-Assurance.

```

48054

```

Desire means

Joy-disappearance. ```

48055

```

I shall not allow God

To starve

For my gratitude-heart-tears

Any more. ```

48056

```

In my case,

God is always

His Forgiveness-Embrace.

```

48057

```

I am hungry

For my success-news.

God is hungry

For my progress-news.

Both God and I are hungry

For our mutual satisfaction-news. ```

48058

```

God Himself

Has written the word

‘Compassion’

On the golden tablet

Of every heart.

```

48059

```

From silence-soil

We receive God’s

Immeasurable Love and Power.

```

48060

```

There is infinite joy

Inside your heart.

Try to breathe it in

As often as you can. ```

48061

```

God says that

My God-surrender-passport

Will allow me to enter

His own Immortality-Land. ```

48062

```

After each fall,

There is a special way to rise

High, higher, highest —

If you have faith in God. ```

48063

```

Each childlike thought

Is immediate progress

In the spiritual life.

```

48064

```

I love my Master’s

Severe scoldings

Much more than I love

His most powerful smiles. ```

48065

```

My Lord,

Please help me

To live all the time

In my heart-school

And not in my mind-jail.

```

48066

```

Be attentive —

You have no idea

When you will get

The inner Call from God. ```

48067

```

Again and again,

God is asking the mind

To bend and blend.

```

48068

```

The secret of my success

My determination-life.

```

48069

```

The secret of my progress

My God-surrender.

```

48070

```

I feed only on

My heart’s tearful cries. ```

48071

```

My heart says to God:

“My Lord, be strict with me,

Not once a day,

But at every moment.” ```

48072

```

Each service-height

A new progress-delight.

```

48073

```

Not for just a long time,

But for a lifelong time,

My heart and I shall live together

And serve God. ```

48074

```

My heart

Is swinging

My prayer-meditation-lamp.

```

48075

```

Today, my Lord has built

A new God-fulfilment-tower

Inside my heart.

```

48076

```

My hope

Is silver. ```

48077

```

My faith

Is gold. ```

48078

```

My promise

Is diamond. ```

48079

```

God has touched my heart.

He wants me to spread

His Fragrance

Wherever I go. ```

48080

```

Life is not

A stumbling experience. ```

48081

```

Life is

A climbing realisation. ```

48082

```

The outer pain

I have. ```

48083

```

The inner delight

I am. ```

48084

```

During the day

My heart and my breath

Rotate around

The sun-power. ```

48085

```

During the night

My heart and my breath

Rotate around

The moon-beauty. ```

48086

```

Every day

My Lord God feeds me

With His Compassion-Eye-Smile.

```

48087

```

Knowledge

Is a very, very tiny

Mind-drop.

```

48088

```

Wisdom

Is a mighty ocean. ```

48089

```

As soon as I get up,

Early in the morning,

Faith comes to me

And opens my heart-door. ```

48090

```

Regularity

My life-beauty.

```

48091

```

Punctuality

My heart-fragrance.

```

48092

```

If I cannot claim God

As my own,

Then my life shall be

A total failure. ```

48093

```

God has asked me

Not to measure

But to treasure

My heart. ```

48094

```

Only

To the first-class God-lovers

God gives

Surrender-lessons. ```

48095

```

My prayer means

My God-supplication. ```

48096

```

My meditation means

My God-invitation. ```

48097

```

My aspiration

Cries for God. ```

48098

```

My dedication

Smiles at God. ```

48099

```

My transformation

Dances around God. ```

48100

```

No more mind-control!

From now on,

Only God-control

I want in my life. ```

48101

```

When God calls me,

He expects from me

A sooner-than-at-once ‘Yes!’

```

48102

```

The moment I surrender myself

To my mind,

My life immediately becomes

The darkest confusion-night. ```

48103

```

The moment I surrender myself

To my heart,

My life immediately becomes

Beauty’s measureless joy. ```

48104

```

My life-security

I get only from

My inner God-Assurance.

```

48105

```

God tells me

The more I do not allow Him

To take rest,

The more He loves me

And the more He will

Think of me fondly. ```

48106

```

Every day

I need three special things

In my life:

Newness, soulfulness and selflessness. ```

48107

```

Each Smile of my Lord Supreme

Gives me

A greater joy of perfection.

```

48108

```

Each time my Master smiles at me,

My inner life and my outer life

Go faster than ever before.

```

48109

```

As in my dreams,

In my wakeful hours also

I must see myself

In God’s Heart-Home. ```

48110

```

God’s Forgiveness-Feet

Have yet to learn

How to rest.

```

48111

```

Each desire-thought

Strikes my aspiration-heart

Very severely.

```

48112

```

A sincere aspiration-heart

Is, indeed,

God’s Divinity-Pride.

```

48113

```

Face yourself.

You will see your true Self:

God.

```

48114

```

Do the first thing first —

Love God first

And then yourself.

Everything will be all right

In your life.

```

48115

```

The sun dreams

In my soul. ```

48116

```

The moon dreams

In my heart. ```

48117

```

I dream

In the Heart

Of the Unknowable.

```

48118

```

My Lord,

I would like to be

All the time

In Your Eye-Prison. ```

48119

```

Earthly homes

Are made of

Man’s knowledge-capacities.

```

48120

```

Heavenly homes

Are made of

God’s sweet Dreams.

```

48121

```

Each life takes birth

Only to please God

In His own Way,

But, alas! ```

48122

```

If we do not have enthusiasm

For world-transformation,

Then God will never be

Fully satisfied with us. ```

48123

```

With our heart’s ceaseless tears,

We can shorten the road

To our farther than the farthest

Destination. ```

48124

```

Every day I offer

A fresh gratitude-plant

From my heart-garden

To my Lord Supreme. ```

48125

```

This world is full of

Lifeless and useless

God-fulfilment-promises.

```

48126

```

I love equally

The rising sun-duty

And the setting sun-peace.

```

48127

```

We like to take the body-exercise

But not the heart-exercise.

Body-exercise and heart-exercise

Must go together

To please God in His own Way.

```

48128

```

The aspiration-mountain

Knows no bondage-chain. ```

48129

```

I have developed

A real hunger

For God-attention.

```

48130

```

God has developed

A real hunger

For my aspiration.

```

48131

```

Do not look for

Tomorrow’s awards.

Look for today’s

God-fulfilment-realities. ```

48132

```

A God-given task

Must not be delayed,

Even for a fleeting moment.

```

48133

```

When I speak to God,

He tells me:

“Be always cheerful —

Never, never fearful.” ```

48134

```

When God speaks to me,

I am all ears. ```

48135

```

When I speak to God,

He is all tears. ```

48136

```

God came,

But I was absent

From my heart-home.

```

48137

```

My Lord,

You know whether I am

Divine or undivine,

But I know that

I am all Yours.

```

48138

```

An unaspiring heart

And a doubting mind

Live together.

```

48139

```

Earnestness is not enough —

Eagerness must be included. ```

48140

```

Eagerness is not enough —

Oneness is needed. ```

48141

```

In my outer life,

I am a desire-beggar. ```

48142

```

In my inner life,

I am an aspiration-banquet. ```

48143

```

Our inner joy

Has the capacity to lessen

God’s outer Burden.

```

48144

```

My good mood

Is my Lord’s

Satisfaction-food.

```

48145

```

My heart’s inner cries

Are my very best presents

To my Lord Supreme.

```

48146

```

God wants from us

The inner purity

More than

The outer beauty

To fulfil Him.

```

48147

```

Enlarge your little heart-room

If you really want God

To come and occupy

The largest seat. ```

48148

```

The outer smile

Is beautiful.

The inner cry

Is infinitely more beautiful

And blissful.

```

48149

```

God takes me seriously

Only when I take Him

As my Friend

And not my Lord. ```

48150

```

Each tear of my heart

Indicates

My divine progress.

```

48151

```

I am so happy

And so grateful to God,

For He has not made me

In charge of His world. ```

48152

```

If we really love God,

Then no matter how falsely

The world criticises us,

Our inner joy shall keep us

Infinitely higher

Than the world-criticism. ```

48153

```

I came into the world

To fly with God

And not to spy on God.

```

48154

```

We must appreciate

The pain of life,

For it is from the pain of life

That we value

The sweetness of life.

```

48155

```

I beg God for His Protection.

God says to me:

“Can you not see, My child,

That I have already given you

My Protection-Heart?”

```

48156

```

God tells me

That He will sing for me

His Heart-Songs

If I stop telling Him

My mind-stories.

```

48157

```

My Master knows my life

So well,

Yet I love to tell him

Every day

Something new about my life.

```

48158

```

I love two things equally:

God’s smiling Face

And my crying heart.

```

48159

```

Every day I remind myself

That I was born to please God

In His own Way

And not to please myself

Even once a year.

```

48160

```

The difference between God and me

Is this:

I love to live in God’s Ocean-Heart;

God loves to live in my cottage-heart. ```

48161

```

I have many, many problems.

God’s Smiles cure them all. ```

48162

```

We start with

God’s Greatness,

Then His Goodness,

Then His Fondness

And, finally, His Oneness.

```

48163

```

The monkey-restlessness-mind

Can be silenced

Only by the heart’s silence-light.

```

48164

```

Progress-train

Never stops

At ignorance-station.

```

48165

```

God’s Compassion

Is the only Friend

That comes to our rescue

Whenever we are in trouble. ```

48166

```

Lethargy,

On any plane,

Is cancerous.

```

48167

```

With my God-obedience,

I always succeed

In pleasing God.

```

48168

```

God-closeness we have,

But God-oneness

Is still a far cry.

```

48169

```

Today you are

A prayer-flame. ```

48170

```

Tomorrow you can become

A meditation-lighthouse. ```

48171

```

Never allow

Your creativity

To be near negativity.

```

48172

```

God does not tolerate many things.

Insecurity is the first thing

That He does not tolerate.

```

48173

```

I must reveal my aspiration

And cancel

All my God-empty thoughts.

```

48174

```

My life-tree grows and grows

With the hope that one day

It will reach

The highest Heaven. ```

48175

```

When God comes to me,

The very first thing He wants to see

Is if my aspiration-flames are burning.

```

48176

```

Ingratitude

Is far below

The human standard.

```

48177

```

From aspiration,

Inspiration comes

And feeds all the branches

Of the life-tree. ```

48178

```

Each Smile of God

Creates a new rose-garden

Inside my heart.

```

48179

```

Intuition

Is the fondest child

Of the third eye.

```

48180

```

Not one season

But all the seasons of our years

We must dedicate soulfully to God.

```

48181

```

Although I fail to please

My guardian angel quite often,

My guardian angel still guides me

With the hope that I shall be

Extremely, extremely faithful and devoted.

```

48182

```

May my God-obedience-heart-bell

Never stop ringing. ```

48183

```

My heart-lamp

I always keep lit. ```

48184

```

How can ignorance affect us

If we allow ourselves

To be completely devoted

To God’s Will? ```

48185

```

My silence-obedience

Is my God-fulfilment-joy and pride. ```

48186

```

This world does not take

Selflessness-lessons

From God.

```

48187

```

Each life

Is an imperfection-mountain.

Again, each life

Is God’s Compassion-Fountain. ```

48188

```

Ignorance is very powerful

Precisely because

Our aspiration is very weak.

```

48189

```

My aspiration-cries

And my devotion-tears

Have brought me back

To my Lord’s Heart-Home. ```

48190

```

Our prayer-life

Mostly concerns

Our outer success.

```

48191

```

Our meditation-life

Mostly concerns

Our inner progress.

```

48192

```

Often, when God comes to us,

We enjoy looking elsewhere

And not at God.

```

48193

```

My Lord, please tell me if I am doing well

In the spiritual life.

“My child, ask your heart

To answer this question.

The answer that comes from your heart

Will be absolutely perfect.” ```

48194

```

We appreciate newness

Here, there and everywhere,

But God appreciates

Our selflessness. ```

48195

```

We are all in between

Heaven’s Smiles

And

Earth’s tears. ```

48196

```

With His indomitable

And invincible Will,

God takes care of me

All the time. ```

48197

```

God’s attention

Is the beginning

Of my progress-journey

In the inner world. ```

48198

```

My Lord gets abundant joy

When He receives from me

Even an iota of gratitude.

```

48199

```

God can be ours for the asking

If we have

An unconditional surrender-life.

```

48200

```

Alas, we have given up

Our God-worship

And replaced it with

Our self-worship! ```

48201

```

When I see God

In ignorance-night,

I am shocked.

```

48202

```

When God sees me

In ignorance-night,

He cries and cries.

```

48203

```

Realisation comes only when

Our lives do not know

What expectation is.

```

48204

```

God-lovers

Are infinitely more than

God-winners.

```

48205

```

Desire-thoughts

Must be discarded —

The sooner the better!

```

48206

```

God’s Eye is for all,

But His Heart is only

For the sincere seekers.

```

48207

```

Smiling, singing and dancing,

We must run

Towards our Goal.

```

48208

```

Everything of God

I love,

But His Forgiveness-Feet

I love most. ```

48209

```

At every moment

I need a new consciousness

In my inner life.

```

48210

```

My dreams are sweet,

But I must turn them

Into realities.

```

48211

```

I never thought

That my heart-tears

Would be so precious

To God. ```

48212

```

Every morning

God gives me

His Heart-Music Lesson

For an hour. ```

48213

```

My heart-tears

Have washed away

All my mind’s wrong thoughts.

```

48214

```

God’s Compassion

Never forgets

To seek me out.

```

48215

```

Alas, ignorance-night

Enters into our lives

Like a hurricane.

```

48216

```

God comes to meditate with me

Every morning,

No matter what consciousness I am in.

```

48217

```

My Lord,

Were You ever young

At any time?

“My child,

What do I look like now?

I am eternally young!” ```

48218

```

Choose God and nobody else

If you really want happiness

In your life.

```

48219

```

Every Smile of God

Expands my heart

Immediately.

```

48220

```

Every evening

God wants me to sing for Him

A peace-song.

```

48221

```

God’s Eye examines me

All the time,

But God’s Heart examines me

Only on rare occasions. ```

48222

```

God-realisation

Is never for the weak

Or for the overconfident.

```

48223

```

The mind likes to reject

All the good things

That God brings to the mind.

```

48224

```

Anything that is good,

God is eager to give us,

But poor God sees that

We are not ready. ```

48225

```

Each time I take

A new forward step,

God applauds most powerfully.

```

48226

```

My Lord’s

Compassion-Affection-Smiles

Never run low.

```

48227

```

My heart widens

And my life lengthens

When I speak of God.

```

48228

```

God breathed a heavy sigh of relief

When He saw that I was no longer mixing

With ignorance-night.

```

48229

```

Obedience must become

A supreme necessity

For each and every God-seeker

And God-lover. ```

48230

```

When God watches me praying,

I immediately become

A high-flying blue bird.

```

48231

```

Every morning

I re-elect God

To be my life’s

Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

48232

```

Every day

I must perform

My God-given duty

With utmost devotion. ```

48233

```

Every morning

I place all my freedom

At God’s Feet.

```

48234

```

I start my aspiration-journey

The moment I get up,

Early in the morning.

```

48235

```

Alas, I do not know why

God still loves

My troublemaker-mind

And

My troublemaker-vital.

```

48236

```

A child-heart

Is always full of

God-dreams.

```

48237

```

Fear

Is my self-expression. ```

48238

```

Compassion

Is God’s Self-Expression. ```

48239

```

Alas, so often

My version of my progress

Is utterly wrong.

```

48240

```

God says to me:

“My child, be not doomed

To disappointment.

Your sunlit days

Are fast approaching.”

```

48241

```

God gave me

A God-devotion-heart

Only to fly, only to fly!

```

48242

```

When God promises

My perfection,

I must show Him

The height of my aspiration. ```

48243

```

God tells me:

“My child, do not worry about

Your mistakes and blunders.

I take them as My own problems,

And I shall solve these problems

In My own Way.” ```

48244

```

Every day

I take a large portion of purity

From my heart

And throw it inside my mind. ```

48245

```

Gratitude-flowers

Are still very rare

Inside the heart of human beings.

```

48246

```

Slowly and steadily

Light is descending from Heaven

To penetrate

My everyday meditation. ```

48247

```

I live my life in between

My aspiration-heart

And

My Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```

48248

```

I call it

My heart’s gratitude-flower.

God calls it

His Heart’s Satisfaction-Tower. ```

48249

```

When I try to make

A good impression on God,

God laughs and laughs.

He says to me:

“My child,

I love you infinitely more

When I see you are normal and natural.”

```

48250

```

I must not waste time any more

In useless talking and lecturing. ```

48251

```

When I invoke God,

I shed my gratitude-heart-tears. ```

48252

```

When I go to God’s Shore,

I bring my heart’s

God-gratitude-flowers

Without fail. ```

48253

```

When God comes to my shore,

He brings His Blessings,

Affection, Love and Concern

Without fail. ```

48254

```

Like God’s predictions,

My promises also

Must come true.

```

48255

```

When God asks me to fly

With Him in His Heart-Sky,

Alas, I get terribly frightened.

```

48256

```

Like God, alas,

My enemy number one —

Ignorance —

Does not sleep. ```

48257

```

My mind is now

Completely empty

Of ignorance-dirt and dust.

```

48258

```

I say to God:

“My Lord, do not blame me!”

God says to me:

“The more you blame Me,

The greater joy I get.”

```

48259

```

My heart and I

Every day long to become

Our Lord’s Satisfaction-Blossoms.

```

48260

```

My duty

Is to invoke God

And not to invade man.

```

48261

```

In the heart of aspiration,

God-manifestation

Looms large.

```

48262

```

God smiles at me and says,

“My child, still you do not believe Me —

That I love you infinitely more

Than you can ever imagine!” ```

48263

```

My Lord,

Your Compassion-Eye

I love.

Your Affection-Heart

I adore.

```

48264

```

When my Lord’s Grace

Descends upon me

Like a heavy rain,

I simply sing and run

And become a God-lover

Of the highest height. ```

48265

```

Every morning

God comes to me

To purify my mind

And intensify my heart. ```

48266

```

I love the world,

Not to possess

But to help the world

In every way. ```

48267

```

My love of God

Every day creates

A new rainbow-sky.

```

48268

```

My eye treasures

God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

48269

```

My heart treasures

God’s Affection-Heart. ```

48270

```

Every day

I pray and meditate

To fortify my prayerful life

And my soulful heart. ```

48271

```

God’s Divinity has many aspects —

I take up only one aspect

To please and fulfil God.

```

48272

```

The mind wants

To separate us

From God.

```

48273

```

The heart wants us

To be always with God,

In God and for God.

```

48274

```

I am fond of my soul-tree’s

Infinite leaves of beauty. ```

48275

```

My mind

A God-measurement-stick.

```

48276

```

My heart

A God-expansion-light.

```

48277

```

Each time God creates

Something new,

Heaven jumps up and down

In ecstasy. ```

48278

```

My security lies

Inside the very depths

Of my heart.

```

48279

```

Everything is fine with me

Only when I claim God

As my own, very own.

```

48280

```

I must learn to think

In a new way —

God’s Way.

```

48281

```

You do not have to forget fear.

Fear will forget you

If every day you can increase

Your faith in God. ```

48282

```

The mind is expert

In self-deception. ```

48283

```

The heart is expert

In self-perfection. ```

48284

```

Doubt-fortress

Is no match

For faith-entrance.

```

48285

```

Each heart-smile

Brightens the face

Of the dawn.

```

48286

```

Doubt

Powerfully lives

Inside the mind.

```

48287

```

Faith

Unconditionally lives

Inside the heart.

```

48288

```

Not a shallow love

But a deep love

Binds the world-citizens

Together. ```

48289

```

There are many fruits

On the trees in my heart-garden.

My Lord chooses

The surrender-fruit. ```

48290

```

Destruction

Is the child

Of wild thoughts.

```

48291

```

I have both a loving God

And a living God

On my side.

```

48292

```

Do not conceal anything

From your Master,

If you really care

For your Master’s

Blessings and love.

```

48293

```

Justice-Light

Is outwardly painful

But inwardly blissful.

```

48294

```

I grow and glow

With the beauty and fragrance

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

48295

```

My Lord, what shall I do

When I see that some of my friends

Are lost souls?

“My child, do not worry about them.

You do not have to take My Job away!”

```

48296

```

My deep meditation

Is always

God-Satisfaction-Bliss.

```

48297

```

If you have sweetness

In your mind,

Then in your heart

You will find

God-Completeness-Delight.

```

48298

```

In the beginning, I was a passenger

On the desire-life-boat.

Now I have an aspiration-life-ship

At my disposal. ```

48299

```

When God calls,

Do not raise your head,

But bend your head

As low as possible. ```

48300

```

To find a peace-heart

Is not a difficult task

If sincerity looms large

Inside your life. ```

48301

```

I love silence-music

And not

Sound-magic.

```

48302

```

I am so happy

That my aspiration-boat

Is under full sail.

```

48303

```

We do not know

How to take advantage

Of our silence-heart.

```

48304

```

I am no more to be found

Inside my mind’s

Doubt-territory.

```

48305

```

The Master’s invisible miracles

Far outrun

His visible miracles.

```

48306

```

How can anybody keep track

Of God’s Love-Contributions

To the world?

```

48307

```

There are many, many ways

To please God.

I have taken the surrender-way.

```

48308

```

When I tell God that I am very sorry

For not paying my debts to Him,

God bursts into roaring laughter

And tells me that He has to learn

This stupidity-subject from me.

```

48309

```

I have come to realise

That patience

Is extremely, extremely powerful.

```

48310

```

We must never forget

That jealousy is the most powerful

Self-destruction-weapon.

```

48311

```

Minds differ

And never

Become one.

```

48312

```

Hearts differ

Only to become one,

And their oneness

Becomes stronger. ```

48313

```

Self-discipline

Does not believe

In excuses.

```

48314

```

My service-life

A God-driven chariot.

```

48315

```

God smiles and smiles

And smiles

At my newness-heart-tears.

```

48316

```

When I live

In my silence-heart-dawn,

I become ecstasy boundless.

```

48317

```

God’s Compassion-Shelter

Saves my life

Time and again.

```

48318

```

To my great joy

I have become

A God-blossoming heart.

```

48319

```

Do not justify your weaknesses.

The more you admit,

The sooner you will become perfect.

```

48320

```

Our God-love

Determines

Our progress-life on earth.

```

48321

```

God tells me

That my heart’s sweetness

Is the fulness of my life.

```

48322

```

Today’s silence

Prepares

Tomorrow’s God-Arrival.

```

48323

```

My mind’s ignorance-stories

Are not only hurtful

But also self-destructive.

```

48324

```

My aspiration

Is full of

God’s Blessing-Surprises.

```

48325

```

I can take care of

The heavy burden of my life,

Provided God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

I claim to be my own.

```

48326

```

Mother Earth,

Your beauty is unimaginable!

You are far beyond the appreciation

Of my heart and my life. ```

48327

```

If peace is not

In Nature’s beauty,

Then where is it, where?

```

48328

```

When life is really a question,

The answer can be found

In the natural beauty

Of Mother Earth. ```

48329

```

Three aspects of God

We can clearly see in the ocean:

Vastness, peace and self-giving.

```

48330

```

Our life-boat-journey

And Nature’s purity

Talk and talk incessantly.

```

48331

```

Newness-joy

Is beautiful. ```

48332

```

Vastness-joy

Is powerful. ```

48333

```

Oneness-joy

Is beyond expression. ```

48334

```

When God wants to see us,

Alas, we always hide. ```

48335

```

When we want to see God,

God just comes and stands

Before our eyes,

But our eyes have no vision

To see Him!

```

48336

```

My mind,

No matter how great you are,

You cannot please me

With your brilliance. ```

48337

```

My heart,

At every moment

You are giving me ample joy

With your constant kindness

And oneness with God.

```

48338

```

There is only one thing

That takes away all our weaknesses,

And that is

Our heart-aspiration-cry. ```

48339

```

A heart of beauty

Is absolutely necessary

To please God.

```

48340

```

There is a difference

Between my going to God

And God’s coming to me.

When God comes to me,

Deliberately, out of fear,

I keep my eyes closed.

But when I go to God,

He pours and pours upon me

His Compassion, Affection and Sweetness,

Far more than I could ever imagine. ```

48341

```

Each pure thought in my mind

Is a long stride

Towards my God-realisation.

```

48342

```

Lord Buddha’s heart

A Compassion-flooded Reality.

```

48343

```

Lord Krishna’s cow

Is flooded with joy

To illumine humanity.

```

48344

```

My singing capacity

Is my Lord’s extremely beautiful

And powerful Blessing.

```

48345

```

I think of God as my divine Father,

But God tells me again and again:

“My child, I want to be your Friend,

Eternity’s Friend, and nothing else.” ```

48346

```

Whenever I think of God,

He is far, too far.

Whenever I love God,

He is near, very near. ```

48347

```

When God dances in my heart,

I do not and cannot appreciate

The height and depth

Of His Dancing. ```

48348

```

When I dance in God’s Heart,

He embraces me immediately

With His Infinity, Eternity

And Immortality. ```

48349

```

My newness

Fails to give joy

To God.

```

48350

```

My oneness

Gives joy to God,

And I feel it

In every limb of mine. ```

48351

```

Each thought goes either

Up or down.

I pray to God to give me

Only the thought that will carry me

Always up —

High, higher, highest. ```

48352

```

The very end

Is the beginning

Of a new promise-start.

```

48353

```

Hatred-power

Is no match

For love-power.

```

48354

```

It is extremely difficult

For two minds

To see eye to eye.

```

48355

```

It is very difficult to believe —

But very true —

That God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Is for the asking. ```

48356

```

In the spiritual life

I must be wakeful and watchful

At every moment.

```

48357

```

A seeker’s self-reliance

Can be the downfall

Of his spiritual life.

```

48358

```

The mind often stands in the way

When the time comes for the transition

From human to divine.

```

48359

```

Will-power

Can be misused —

Alas, quite often.

```

48360

```

The shooting star of fame

Quite often can receive

Very powerful, destructive ‘blessings’

From the world. ```

48361

```

Silence

Is the seeker’s

Most reliable friend.

```

48362

```

In our spiritual family,

Prayer is the little brother

And meditation is the elder brother.

They are very fond of each other. ```

48363

```

There are many seekers

Who do not believe in worshipping God —

They are quite satisfied

With their own self-worship. ```

48364

```

A constant

God-gratitude-heart

Is extremely difficult to find.

```

48365

```

The mind-leadership

Fails us. ```

48366

```

The heart-leadership

Never fails,

And will never fail.

```

48367

```

The power of the mind

Is so limited —

It is hard to believe.

```

48368

```

The power of the heart

Is unlimited

In every sense.

```

48369

```

God takes away my pride

The moment I vehemently dislike

My pride.

```

48370

```

The outer destination

The mind’s success.

```

48371

```

The inner goal

The heart’s progress.

```

48372

```

If you really want to fight

Against ignorance,

Then God will definitely be

With you and for you. ```

48373

```

We need constantly

Two divine things —

A determination-mind

And an aspiration-heart —

To please God in His own Way.

```

48374

```

God’s Greatness

Astounds us. ```

48375

```

God’s Goodness

Inspires us. ```

48376

```

My aspiration-heart

Takes me

To God’s Eyes.

```

48377

```

My devotion-life

Takes me

To God’s Feet.

```

48378

```

The aspiration-heart

Is not only beautiful

But powerful.

```

48379

```

To feel God’s Heart

Is infinitely easier

Than to see God’s Face.

```

48380

```

My eyes can see God,

At times,

As a stranger.

```

48381

```

My heart always feels

That God is its Guest,

Only Guest.

```

48382

```

The morning beauty

Says to me:

“My child,

Go forward, go forward!” ```

48383

```

The evening beauty

Says to me:

“My child,

Dive deep within,

Dive deep within!”

```

48384

```

When I tell God

That I do not know what to do,

God tells me:

“My child,

Just think of Me, and think of Me,

And think of Me!

You do not have to do anything else.”

```

48385

```

To appreciate

God’s outer Beauty,

I must become

A God-worshipper. ```

48386

```

To worship

God’s inner Beauty,

I must become

A true and self-giving

God-lover.

```

48387

```

If you imagine your Goal,

At the end of your journey

You may be disappointed.

```

48388

```

If you pray to your Goal,

Even before you reach your Goal,

God gives you illumination.

```

48389

```

God tells me to run forward

All the time

If I really need His Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart. ```

48390

```

Today God is asking me to enjoy

My closeness-beauty to Him,

And He also tells me that

Tomorrow He will ask me to enjoy

His Fondness-Fragrance.

```

48391

```

The moment I bury

My self-love,

I become the possessor

Of God’s Love-Fountain. ```

48392

```

My Lord,

Is there anything that I can do

To please You?

“My child,

Just become a love-flame.”

```

48393

```

A negativity-mind

Meets with

Destruction-life.

```

48394

```

No doctor’s medicine

But only my Master’s cute smile

Can cure me —

My physical illness,

Plus my mental disease.

```

48395

```

We cannot please God fully

Until we have become

Selflessness only.

```

48396

```

Obedience

Is an indomitable

Inner strength.

```

48397

```

Each time I please God

In His own Way,

I climb to a new height.

```

48398

```

Only the silence-heart

Can tame

The monkey-mind.

```

48399

```

To live for God

Is to cancel

The mind-invitation.

```

48400

```

The mind

A greatness-beggar.

```

48401

```

The heart

A goodness-hunger.

```

48402

```

I cannot remember the exact date

When I started aspiring,

But my realisation-day

I shall definitely remember. ```

48403

```

Each experience

Can be

As deep as the sea.

```

48404

```

My silence-heart blossoms,

And most devotedly I place it

At my Lord’s Feet.

```

48405

```

Inspiration

Starts the race. ```

48406

```

Aspiration

Runs the race. ```

48407

```

Realisation

Finishes the race. ```

48408

```

May my life-tree grow

Fast, very fast,

To reach the highest Heaven.

```

48409

```

Heaven is precious

Because it cries

For the Beyond.

```

48410

```

Earth is precious

Because it knows

What suffering is.

```

48411

```

Obedience and wisdom

Are the obverse and reverse

Of the aspiration-coin.

```

48412

```

The mind

Always burdens us. ```

48413

```

The heart

Always tries

To enlighten us.

```

48414

```

The mind-imperfection-mountains

Have to be surmounted. ```

48415

```

Anything divine

Should not fall out of practice. ```

48416

```

Ignorance will not surrender

On its own —

It is we who have to conquer

The pride of ignorance. ```

48417

```

Only two persons

Have the key

To open up my heart-box:

God and my soul. ```

48418

```

I gave my Lord

A most powerful smile.

He clasped my hands

And I clasped His Heart. ```

48419

```

When I stand in front of God,

Even my mind-obscurities

Sparkle!

```

48420

```

If you really want to succeed

In any field of life,

You must tirelessly work

Until success arrives. ```

48421

```

It seems that I am always

Facing the clock

And not at all trying

To race the clock. ```

48422

```

Do not miss the race

If you want God to bless you

More and more —

Infinitely more —

With His Grace.

```

48423

```

The outer world

We must take seriously,

If we want the outer world

To represent the inner world. ```

48424

```

I am so happy

That my mind-will

Is crumbling.

```

48425

```

I am so happy

That my heart-will

Is climbing, ever climbing.

```

48426

```

Alas, my excuse-list

Is growing,

Most powerfully and most painfully!

```

48427

```

God wants you

Only when you are ready

To give Him

What you have

And what you are.

```

48428

```

If only I had listened to You, my Lord,

Today I could have easily become

A highly advanced seeker!

```

48429

```

Every day

Ignorance enjoys

The unaspiring mind.

```

48430

```

My devotion

Enjoys God’s Compassion

More intensely

Than anything of mine. ```

48431

```

A gratitude-heart

Is a most powerful smile

Of Heaven.

```

48432

```

Always greet God

By clasping His Feet. ```

48433

```

To see God progressing

In and through us all the time,

We need our heart’s gratitude-tears.

```

48434

```

To see God’s Face

Most clearly,

We need a magnet-heart.

```

48435

```

At every moment,

God wants our mind-road

To be flooded with light.

```

48436

```

In the morning

God uses His Compassion-Eye

For us.

```

48437

```

In the evening

God uses His Forgiveness-Heart

For us.

```

48438

```

The desiring mind

Talks and talks and talks. ```

48439

```

The aspiring heart

Listens and listens and listens. ```

48440

```

There is not a single game

That cannot be won

With enthusiasm.

```

48441

```

When I most sincerely tell God

That He is my All,

I am so fortunate

That God does not ask me

To prove it!

```

48442

```

I walk along

God’s Compassion-Heart-Road. ```

48443

```

God walks along

My gratitude-heart-road. ```

48444

```

Each time I think of God,

He fills my heart

With His sweeter than the sweetest

Affection. ```

48445

```

World harmony

Carries the message

Of world peace.

```

48446

```

The divine ecstasy

Lives only

In the inner world.

```

48447

```

In the inner life,

Happiness is always available

In the heart.

```

48448

```

Happiness is badly needed

In the mind, the vital

And the body.

```

48449

```

We get fulness

From oneness,

And from nowhere else.

```

48450

```

Consciousness is universal.

If we pray and meditate,

We can keep our consciousness high,

Very high. ```

48451

```

Unfortunately, every year

The maladies of the world

Are increasing.

```

48452

```

On very rare occasions

We can have faith in humanity,

Even if we do not have

Faith in ourselves. ```

48453

```

If the pilgrim is soulful and prayerful,

Then from the pilgrimage

He can receive

Tremendous Blessings from God. ```

48454

```

If the pilgrim is only moving

From here to there,

And enjoying things that charm

Or feed the vital,

Then the pilgrimage,

In the world of spirituality,

Is a complete failure.

```

48455

```

Devotion connects love and surrender.

Then, like a magnet,

They all go to sit

At the Feet of our Lord Supreme. ```

48456

```

When we worship,

We devour

The dust of God’s Feet.

```

48457

```

Each time we smile at God,

Soulfully and prayerfully,

God becomes extremely proud of us.

```

48458

```

Even when darkness

Is darker than the darkest,

There is still an iota of Light —

No creation of God is totally empty

Of Light.

```

48459

```

Joy is an outer existence-reality;

Delight is an inner existence-reality.

The contribution of joy is abundant;

The contribution of delight is infinite. ```

48460

```

The more I love God

In my own way,

The farther I go

Away from God. ```

48461

```

Hope

Is the younger brother

Of promise.

```

48462

```

Once hope enters into

The promise-world,

It loves and embraces promise.

```

48463

```

With the help

Of hope and promise,

We succeed.

```

48464

```

The cheerfulness

Of the mind

Is the fruitfulness

Of the entire being. ```

48465

```

Gratitude-plants

Grow in Heaven.

Gratitude-flowers

Grow on earth.

Gratitude-fruits

Grow inside the heart. ```

48466

```

If we can offer

The gratitude-plant,

The gratitude-flower

And

The gratitude-fruit to God,

He becomes Infinity’s Delight. ```

48467

```

How to be happy?

Do not think of yourself —

Think only of God.

```

48468

```

What does the voice reveal?

The voice can reveal

Either emptiness or fulness.

```

48469

```

How to make progress?

Live in the aspiration-world all the time

And never in the competition-world.

If in the aspiration-world you live,

And if the competition-world you give up,

Then you will make progress automatically. ```

48470

```

To please the Master,

The seeker has to sincerely feel

That the Master is always right,

Both in the inner world

And in the outer world,

For the Master is guided always

By the Light of the Supreme.

```

48471

```

How to fly high?

Keep the aspiration-flames

All the time burning.

```

48472

```

How to dive deep?

Shed soulful tears

Consciously, sincerely

And continuously. ```

48473

```

What is the moon?

Softness-sweetness-self-offering

To raise the consciousness

Of all Heaven-seekers. ```

48474

```

Is God happy?

God is happy only when

We unconditionally love Him.

When we love Him conditionally,

God is extremely sad.

```

48475

```

How to increase soulfulness?

As soon as good thoughts come,

Welcome them!

As soon as a wrong thought comes,

Kick the wrong thought

The way you kick a football. ```

48476

```

Inside each of us,

There is an older than the oldest Being

And a younger than the youngest Child.

They are the same Person.

That Person deserves worship from us,

Day in and day out. ```

48477

```

To conquer the lower self,

What you need is purity in each thought.

When an impure thought comes, just say,

“O God, purify this thought!”

Good thoughts also can be purified.

If you purify your thoughts,

Your heart can become very, very strong.

```

48478

```

How to conquer the mind’s doubt?

Just love your heart more.

When you focus your entire being

On the heart at every moment,

The doubts of the mind starve to death.

```

48479

```

Where is the goal?

If it is the desire-bound goal,

Then it is very near you.

If it is the aspiration-climbing Goal,

That Goal is high, high, high, very high!

```

48480

```

How to love God in His own Way?

Just tell God:

“My Lord, I wish to

Always, always, always live

In Your Heart —

Not in my mind,

Not even inside my heart!”

```

48481

```

How to be creative?

First, appreciate the beauty of Nature,

In the morning and in the evening.

Then pray to God. Say to Him:

“This is Your entire Creation, my Lord.

Take me as Your server,

Even for a few minutes.”

Then God will accept you

And you can become creative,

In God’s Universe,

According to your receptivity.

```

48482

```

How to increase enthusiasm?

As soon as you get up early in the morning,

Repeat fifty times:

“Enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm, Enthusiasm, enthusiasm!”

Then your mind will be surcharged

With enthusiasm,

And your heart will be surcharged

With God-fulfilment

In God’s own Way.

```

48483

```

How to create receptivity?

Imagine inside your heart a tiny vessel.

Then start pouring into it your tears —

The tears of your heart.

To your great surprise, in a few days

You will see that the little vessel

Has become quite large.

Then, again, start pouring

All your heart-tears

Into that vessel every day.

This is how we increase our receptivity.

```

48484

```

How to have a strong heart?

“Tell God:

My Lord, please give me Your Heart!

Take away my heart,

And wherever You want to keep my heart,

You keep it.

But give me Your Heart.

I need only Your Heart, Your Heart!”

In that way, you can strengthen your heart

Very rapidly and most successfully. ```

48485

```

How to be perfect?

Only by praying to God every day,

Every hour:

“My Lord, my Lord,

What I need is perfection, only perfection.

Please, please, please make me perfect

The way You want me to be perfect.”

```

48486

```

How to increase humility?

Try to remember all the time:

“If I cultivate sincere humility,

God will keep me in His Heart

Of infinite Joy and infinite Pride.”

```

48487

```

How to increase awareness?

God has given

Much more awareness to the heart

Than to the mind, the vital and the body.

So pray to God every morning

To allow you an iota of awareness

In your mind, in your vital and in your body.

Then you will see awareness,

Like a fountain,

Drop by drop descending —

Coming from the heart

To the physical body.

When the physical, vital, mind, heart

And psyche are all full of awareness,

Then God gives them special work.

```

48488

```

The soul is always aware of God —

Always aware of God and man.

And whatever job God has asked the soul

To do,

The soul does, most satisfactorily.

```

48489

```

God takes pride in me

Only when my progress

Is absolutely sure.

```

48490

```

The completely and unconditionally

Surrendered seeker

Can unmistakably think and feel

That his transformation

Is fast approaching.

```

48491

```

God

Is extremely concerned

About my surrender-life.

```

48492

```

Every day

There are certain seekers

Who satisfy God in His own Way.

```

48493

```

My story

Is that God

Is not always concerned for me.

```

48494

```

God’s Story

Is that I need more receptivity

At every moment.

```

48495

```

Mine is a progress-life

Precisely because

God is His Compassion-Eye.

```

48496

```

Every day we must invite God

Into our heart-cottage,

No matter how many days

He does not accept our invitation! ```

48497

```

Each soul

Is absolutely necessary

In God’s Cosmic Game.

```

48498

```

God gets measureless Joy

When He sees that my heart-temple

Is full of aspiration-flowers

And dedication-incense. ```

48499

```

He who smiles

Strengthens his inner life. ```

48500

```

It is pointless

To spend our time

Expecting and wishing.

```

48501

```

For me, the best times

To pray and meditate

Are the small hours

Of the morning

And the twilight hours

Of the evening. ```

48502

```

Nobody can make real progress

By practising austerity. ```

48503

```

God-yearning souls

Are extremely precious

To God.

```

48504

```

God teaches

Because He loves to teach. ```

48505

```

God examines

Because He has to. ```

48506

```

No examination-results,

No God-satisfaction. ```

48507

```

No matter how hard

We try to make ourselves happy,

It seems happiness is unavailable

In the world! ```

48508

```

God always asks me

If I have something more to say. ```

48509

```

God always keeps

His Promise,

No matter how long I take.

```

48510

```

God’s Heart always decides

Everything —

Nothing remains undecided

In God’s Heart. ```

48511

```

A God-surrendered heart

Sees no mistake

In the world.

```

48512

```

I go to God to solve my problems.

God says:

“My child, I do have the capacity

To solve your problems,

But I wonder if you will be satisfied

If I tell you what to do?” ```

48513

```

Alas, we all have something

More important to do

Than to follow

In the Footsteps of God. ```

48514

```

How difficult it is

To say good-bye

To our enemy number one:

Despair. ```

48515

```

When the vital and the mind

Start boasting,

The vital always defeats the mind.

```

48516

```

We want to know

Where God is. ```

48517

```

God wants to know

Where our unconditional surrender is. ```

48518

```

My mind

The question of questions.

```

48519

```

God’s Silence

The Answer of answers.

```

48520

```

When I hesitate to offer

My worries and anxieties to God,

God says to me:

“My child, give Me, give Me, give Me!

I am begging you to give Me

All your worries and anxieties!” ```

48521

```

There comes a time

When we come to learn

That Truth is invincible.

```

48522

```

My expectation-mind

And my frustration-life

Go together.

```

48523

```

My surrender and my perfection —

These are two of God’s lovely doves. ```

48524

```

How do you know that you are

Pleasing God?

Just enter into your heart.

It is written on the tablet of your heart.

It will be either a blue light or a red light.

The blue light will say:

“I am all satisfaction.”

The red light will say:

“I am all dissatisfaction.”

```

48525

```

Each thought can be made

Divinely powerful

By using our heart-tears.

```

48526

```

God-manifestation

We need,

And not God-conversation.

```

48527

```

If we fear God,

It is a direct insult

To our soul.

```

48528

```

God wants me to see and feel

Only His Goodness —

And not His Greatness.

```

48529

```

My Lord, how often I forget You!

“My child, just try to remember

How often you love Me.

Never think of when you do not love Me —

That is in the past tense!”

```

48530

```

God appreciates my sincere efforts,

But He loves infinitely more

My cheerful surrender to His Will.

```

48531

```

God may not be seen

With our human eyes,

But He can definitely be felt

In our human hearts. ```

48532

```

We start our journey

With God the Beauty.

We end our journey

With God the Duty. ```

48533

```

Who is ready and who is unready

For the Path?

Only God’s Compassion-Eye

Has the answer. ```

48534

```

The desire-life ends

Either when God uses

The omnipotent Power of His Eye

Or when God uses

His all-loving Heart.

```

48535

```

I love God’s constant Commands

Much more than

His unending Requests.

```

48536

```

To feel God’s Love

I must empty my mind. ```

48537

```

A powerful mind

Does not believe in

The sincerity

Of a cheerful heart. ```

48538

```

When you meet with God,

The very first thing

You must tell Him is:

“God, take me!”

And not:

“God, give me!” ```

48539

```

I get infinitely more joy

When I place my head

At God’s Feet

Than when I clasp His Eye. ```

48540

```

I am so glad that I did not follow

The path of Nirvana.

Extinction is not my choice.

Action, action, divine action,

Forever and forever

Will be my only choice. ```

48541

```

So-called Nirvana

Is not the end of the spiritual quest.

There are many, many levels of Nirvana.

The highest is known as Mahanirvana.

It is there that the seeker enjoys

Infinity’s Light and Delight. ```

48542

```

My Lord, my only prayer is this:

“I do not want to be great,

I do not want to be good,

I do not want to be perfect.

I only want to bloom and blossom,

Sleeplessly, in Your own Way.” ```

48543

```

I must never feed

My self-doubts. ```

48544

```

At every moment

I must feed

My God-reliance.

```

48545

```

Aspiration

Is not for an hour —

Aspiration

Is for every second. ```

48546

```

God is dearer than

My own life-breath. ```

48547

```

My real Home

Is God’s Heart. ```

48548

```

It is quite possible

To pray to God

And meditate on God

Without the mind’s interference. ```

48549

```

My devotion-heart

Is always eager

For one thing:

God-search. ```

48550

```

Is there any day

That God does not get

Countless complaints?

```

48551

```

Sincerity

Is a great life-saviour

On the spiritual path.

```

48552

```

God expects

From each and every seeker

Not a long-term

But a lifelong

Commitment.

```

48553

```

Here on earth

We must be involved

In all God-loving activities.

```

48554

```

There in Heaven

Our souls are always involved

In God-dreaming activities.

```

48555

```

Each day opens

With opportunity-smiles. ```

48556

```

God is always ready

To inspire our heart

And encourage our life.

```

48557

```

God is always

Looking for us

At the surrender-door.

```

48558

```

Faith

Unimaginably strengthens

The seeker’s heart.

```

48559

```

My Lord,

I am extremely grateful to You,

For You have captured

My entire being. ```

48560

```

My heart says

That God is inside my heart. ```

48561

```

My life says

That God is around the corner. ```

48562

```

My mind does not want to know

Where God actually is. ```

48563

```

The mind speaks about God

With no sincerity. ```

48564

```

The heart speaks about God

With humility and sincerity. ```

48565

```

The soul speaks about God

With unmistakable authority. ```

48566

```

With God’s express Blessings,

We can bravely work on earth. ```

48567

```

The possibilities of the heart

Must be utilised at every moment

In our day-to-day life.

```

48568

```

Constant self-giving

Is a very high state

Of consciousness.

```

48569

```

We must use time properly

And not allow time to use us. ```

48570

```

When I feel close to God,

It is not my desire-fulfilment. ```

48571

```

When I feel close to God,

It is the enlightenment

Of my earth-existence.

```

48572

```

I am devoted

Only to God

At each hush-gap.

```

48573

```

We are safe

Only when we have arrived

At God’s Heart-Station.

```

48574

```

I welcome God,

Either with my streaming tears

Or with my beaming smiles.

```

48575

```

My gratitude,

How sweet you are,

How powerful you are,

How close you are

To God!

```

48576

```

“My Lord, I am all Yours” —

These are absolutely

The sweetest words

In my life. ```

48577

```

Those who love God,

Only God,

Bask in the sunshine

Of God’s sleepless Compassion. ```

48578

```

Do not hesitate

When you feel from deep within

The most significant prayer.

```

48579

```

If you can dare to face

The impossible,

That means you have already achieved

Half of your victory. ```

48580

```

May my unwillingness

Never get a chance

To be reborn.

```

48581

```

Ignorance-night

Must never have the authority

In world-progress.

```

48582

```

The dust

Of God’s golden Feet

Is the only company

I keep. ```

48583

```

Delight everlasting

Should be our only

God-hunger.

```

48584

```

When the seeker’s surrender

Is complete,

God says to him:

“My child,

You are really something.”

```

48585

```

God-Touch is blissful —

This is what

The outer life feels.

```

48586

```

God-Touch is unfathomable —

This is what

The inner world feels.

```

48587

```

Nobody can delay

The inevitable

Forever.

```

48588

```

My heart does not long

For God-conversation. ```

48589

```

My heart longs only

For God-Satisfaction

In God’s own Way.

```

48590

```

The heart is

By far the most sacred home

Of sincerity and truth.

```

48591

```

Deep meditation

Is the source of

Great manifestation.

```

48592

```

Surrender,

At every moment,

To God’s outer Wish

And inner Will! ```

48593

```

Great spiritual figures

Come into the world

To inspire humanity,

And also to carry

Humanity’s breath

To the Supreme Lord. ```

48594

```

Curiosity

Can nourish

The enquiring mind.

```

48595

```

Sincerity

Can nourish

The aspiring heart.

```

48596

```

My life strives

For liberation. ```

48597

```

My heart strives

For realisation. ```

48598

```

My dream and I strive

For manifestation —

God-manifestation.

```

48599

```

God says to me:

“My child,

I am right in front of you!

Open your heart-door wide.” ```

48600

```

To study the inner lessons,

You must take courses

At God’s Heart-School.

```

48601

```

God wants us

To leave all our problems

At His Feet.

```

48602

```

Make happiness

An indispensable reality

In your life.

```

48603

```

When impurity attacks,

The seeker must immediately fly

In the Eye of God.

```

48604

```

God’s Heart proudly celebrates,

Every year,

Our aspiration-heart.

```

48605

```

God’s Heart smilingly celebrates,

Every year,

Our dedication-life.

```

48606

```

We must try to bring

The living Presence of God

Into every day of our life.

```

48607

```

If you do not value

Self-discipline,

Then you cannot make

Fast progress. ```

48608

```

There comes a time

When we only go up,

And cannot go down.

```

48609

```

Aspiration and dedication

Are two wings of the soul-bird —

We need both wings.

```

48610

```

Every day

We must love God a little deeper

And serve God a little longer.

```

48611

```

God gives us,

Smilingly and proudly,

The necessary skill

To serve Him. ```

48612

```

When we pray,

We feel that we satisfy

The outer world.

```

48613

```

When we meditate,

We feel that we satisfy

The inner world.

```

48614

```

Do not surrender

To doubt-storms.

With your soul’s power,

Challenge them

And conquer them!

```

48615

```

Rare, very rare,

A true humility-life. ```

48616

```

The seeker should feel

That God’s sad Face

Is because of the seeker’s

Own failure. ```

48617

```

Aspiration

Has to be fed

With speed.

```

48618

```

Our service

Belongs to us. ```

48619

```

Our achievements

Belong to God. ```

48620

```

God wants us to be experts,

Not in everything,

But in the things

He chooses for us. ```

48621

```

My devotion

And God’s aspiration

Are extremely fond

Of each other. ```

48622

```

God-satisfaction

Should be an inevitability,

Not a possibility.

```

48623

```

When we most soulfully appreciate

God’s Smiles,

He just laughs and laughs.

```

48624

```

When we offer our heart’s prayers

To God,

God says to us:

“My children,

Come closer, come closer!”

```

48625

```

Every seeker

Should try to live

A God-abundance-life.

```

48626

```

We try to draw God’s attention.

God tells us to take His affection

As much as we want to.

```

48627

```

Do not expect.

Expectation quite often gives us

Bitter frustration.

```

48628

```

A prayer can be tiny,

But it has the power

To raise the consciousness

Of many, many seekers. ```

48629

```

The divine in us

Always tries to make

Our Beloved Lord Supreme

Popular and familiar,

Here on earth.

```

48630

```

The human life

Cries for the fulfilment

Of teeming desires.

```

48631

```

The divine life

Has only one desire —

God-fulfilment

In God’s own Way. ```

48632

```

It is so good to imagine

A golden sunrise

While you are praying.

```

48633

```

It is so good to imagine

A golden sunset

While you are meditating.

```

48634

```

It is so good to imagine

A golden boat and a silver moon

While you are serving God

In God’s own Way. ```

48635

```

God wants us to have

Everything illumining.

Alas, we want to have

Everything fascinating. ```

48636

```

To listen to God

Is the beginning of

Self-realisation.

```

48637

```

There are two ways to glorify God:

One, with growing fountain-tears;

The other, to smile and smile

At every moment

With ever-blossoming joy in the heart.

```

48638

```

The Inner Pilot

Takes us as

His seekers.

```

48639

```

Our acceptance of the spiritual life

Is not personal —

God-aspiration beckons us

To enter into the spiritual life. ```

48640

```

If peace you really need,

Then make friends with silence

First.

```

48641

```

Each man

Is the result of

His contradiction-life.

```

48642

```

At times

The mind deliberately

Enjoys confusion,

Within and without. ```

48643

```

We search for God in the inner world;

We search for God in the outer world.

It is easier to search for God

In the inner world

Than in the outer world.

```

48644

```

We admire

The Greatness-God. ```

48645

```

We love

The Goodness-God. ```

48646

```

We need

The Compassion-God. ```

48647

```

God-realisation is much higher

Than man’s heart-liberation —

No comparison!

```

48648

```

The heart

Always chooses

God-obedience.

```

48649

```

The mind and the vital

Often choose

God-defiance.

```

48650

```

My heart of

Ever-blossoming tears

Is my safest Godward journey.

```

48651

```

I am no longer

Surrounded

By ignorance-monsters.

```

48652

```

Mistakes yet unborn

Are confusing

And threatening me.

```

48653

```

Nobody can thwart

God’s adamantine Will. ```

48654

```

There is no end,

And there should be no end,

To our spiritual progress.

```

48655

```

God-Satisfaction

In God’s own Way

Is my only Goal.

```

48656

```

Even when I put

All my good qualities together,

I feel that I am not worthy

Of God’s Compassion. ```

48657

```

No wrong thought

Can stand against

God’s Compassion for me.

```

48658

```

Each seeker

A God-oneness-dream.

```

48659

```

Our souls know

That we all are under

The torrential God-Compassion-Rain.

```

48660

```

Every day

My heart prepares my life

For the aspiration-dawn.

```

48661

```

Aspiration

Is a brave

Ignorance-conqueror.

```

48662

```

It is our heart’s aspiration

That gives us liberation —

And not the desperation

Of the vital and the mind. ```

48663

```

Each moment

My life needs

A new awakening.

```

48664

```

I wish my life to be

An ever-climbing

Fire-flame.

```

48665

```

Today

We are earth-bound. ```

48666

```

Tomorrow

We can be Heaven-free. ```

48667

```

Faith always values

Everything that is divine

In us.

```

48668

```

Try, try again, try —

No matter how many times you fail.

Success will be all yours one day.

```

48669

```

If newness we really want,

God can give us,

At every moment,

The brightness

Of a new beginning.

```

48670

```

When I speak to God,

It is my gratitude-heart

That speaks.

```

48671

```

Whenever I am

In a spiritual mood,

God’s Victory-Bell

I ring and ring. ```

48672

```

My constant

God-gratitude-heart

Should be a reality

And not a dream. ```

48673

```

It is so easy

For God to capture

Our tears.

```

48674

```

It is so difficult

For us to capture

God’s Smiles.

```

48675

```

My heart

Introduces me

To God.

```

48676

```

God’s Eye

Introduces God

To my heart.

```

48677

```

If you cannot have

God-listening ears,

Then you will never succeed.

```

48678

```

Our heart-tears

Are

Exceedingly pure.

```

48679

```

Our soul-smiles

Are

Unmistakably powerful.

```

48680

```

My mind

Ceaselessly talks

About God.

```

48681

```

My heart

Sleeplessly works

For God.

```

48682

```

O my mind, roam not!

Come back, come back

Into the heart’s aspiration-boat.

```

48683

```

Everything starts

At God’s Feet. ```

48684

```

Everything ends

In man’s heart. ```

48685

```

I pray to God

Not for earthly strength,

But for divine power.

```

48686

```

I never dare

To approach God —

It is He who moves

Towards me. ```

48687

```

The mind is always fond of

Speaking ill

Of others’ shortcomings.

```

48688

```

Not God’s Love,

Not God’s Compassion,

But God’s Forgiveness

Is preparing our future. ```

48689

```

O my mind,

Why does God have to tell you

What to do?

Can you not volunteer? ```

48690

```

God-realisation

Is a one-man run —

Not a competitive race.

```

48691

```

The mind

Unconsciously spreads

The gloom of the vital.

```

48692

```

When I am in the mind,

I become a non-stop and random

God-talker.

```

48693

```

When I am in the heart,

I am an ever-increasing

God-server.

```

48694

```

Nobody wants to be

The mind’s puppet,

But, unfortunately,

We all are. ```

48695

```

It is our daily prayers

That shield us

From unseen harm.

```

48696

```

When we give ourselves sleeplessly

To the sincere seekers,

Our inner progress becomes

Faster than the fastest. ```

48697

```

We do not have to be, for now,

Death-defying seekers;

We must first become

God-fulfilling seekers on earth. ```

48698

```

Alas, we do not know

That the desire-life

Is nothing short of

Futility! ```

48699

```

We are looking for happiness

In the desire-life.

Alas, it is nothing short of

Absurdity! ```

48700

```

At long last,

The mind’s dictatorship

Has surrendered

To the heart’s God-worship. ```

48701

```

There is only one thing I need,

And that is my heart’s

Ever-climbing flame.

```

48702

```

Humility’s height

Far surpasses

The heights of the Himalayas.

```

48703

```

Humility’s other name

Is God-satisfaction

In God’s own Way.

```

48704

```

Humility

Knows the art

Of pleasing

Every heart. ```

48705

```

When we are humble,

God opens His Heart-Door wide

For us to enter.

```

48706

```

Humility runs the fastest

Towards the God-fulfilling

Destination.

```

48707

```

Some people are of the opinion

That purity is feminine and weak.

No! Purity is stronger than the strongest

In our inner battles against the dark forces. ```

48708

```

The purity of the heart

Is the secret of secrets

To purify the mind.

```

48709

```

A purity-heart

Does not see anything wrong

In the world.

```

48710

```

When we have purity

In the mind,

We can see God

In a very special way. ```

48711

```

The inner world’s receptivity

Is the key

To open up

The outer world’s receptivity. ```

48712

```

Divinity grows

In the human life

Only slowly, steadily

And unerringly. ```

48713

```

The doubting mind

Does not believe in

Immortality.

```

48714

```

The aspiring heart

Lives in

The core of Immortality.

```

48715

```

If there is fear,

Then we have lost

Half the battle.

```

48716

```

To conquer

One single inner problem

Is to conquer

Hundreds of outer problems. ```

48717

```

God does think of us

Even when we are utterly dissatisfied

With His Creation.

```

48718

```

Self-doubt means

The beginning

Of our God-separation.

```

48719

```

Self-doubt takes away

All our possibilities

Of realising God.

```

48720

```

God-invocation

Is all we need,

And not self-assertion.

```

48721

```

Simplicity

Does have the capacity

To help sincerity.

```

48722

```

Sincerity

Does have the capacity

To increase the receptivity-vessel

Deep within us. ```

48723

```

Hope, sweet hope,

Must forever live

Inside our heart-home.

```

48724

```

There is only one inner promise:

The inner sun has to come to the fore

To illumine the darkness

Of human life. ```

48725

```

Without regularity

In our spiritual practice,

Our God-hunger will decrease

And may disappear. ```

48726

```

When we cry for God,

He shows us the vastness

Of our heart-sky.

```

48727

```

If you want to please God,

Even for a fleeting moment,

Do not give up! Do not give up!

```

48728

```

Never say no to God’s Heart,

And

Never say no to God’s Eye.

```

48729

```

Once you please

The Feet of God,

You automatically please

The Heart and the Eye of God. ```

48730

```

Thought

Is a tiny drop. ```

48731

```

Will-power

Is the vast ocean. ```

48732

```

The God of the heart

Always remains

Inside the heart.

```

48733

```

The God of the mind

Quite often goes

Out of the mind.

```

48734

```

To see God’s Eye,

We pray

To God’s Feet.

```

48735

```

To feel God’s Heart,

Again we pray

To God’s Feet.

```

48736

```

To grow into the Divine,

Slowly, steadily and unmistakably,

Again we pray

To God’s Feet. ```

48737

```

God’s Feet

Clear the way. ```

48738

```

God’s Eye

Is the Way. ```

48739

```

God’s Heart

Receives

Eternity’s traveller.

```

48740

```

The physical beauty-boat

Cannot sail

For a long period of time.

```

48741

```

The inner beauty-boat

Sails and sails

In God’s Heart-River.

```

48742

```

In the outer world,

Without determination

We can never succeed.

```

48743

```

In the inner world,

Without aspiration

We can never make progress.

```

48744

```

For he who thinks of God

Soulfully,

God becomes his Helper.

```

48745

```

For he who loves God

Unconditionally,

God becomes his eternal Lover

And Self-giver. ```

48746

```

We pray to God

To smile at us. ```

48747

```

God prays to us

To never stop shedding

The inner tears.

```

48748

```

In the beginning,

God does not expect perfection

From any seeker.

```

48749

```

At the end of the seeker’s journey,

The first thing that God wants to see

Is the perfection of the seeker.

```

48750

```

Patience-light

Has entered into

Each and every seeker.

```

48751

```

The absence of humility

Will cause a serious problem

In each seeker-heart.

```

48752

```

The music of the mind

Confuses me. ```

48753

```

The music of the heart

Awakens me. ```

48754

```

The music of the soul

Brings God to me. ```

48755

```

My streaming heart-cries

Give me

Boundless joy.

```

48756

```

My beaming soul-smiles

Again give me

Boundless joy.

```

48757

```

God loves

My gratitude-heart-blossoms

Infinitely more than I do.

```

48758

```

In the heart of silence,

Truth is most beautiful

And most powerful as well.

```

48759

```

Each seeker

Must try to perfect the world

With his concern-heart.

```

48760

```

Defeat is never the final word

In a seeker’s life. ```

48761

```

Each human being

Embodies

Centuries of hopes and desires.

```

48762

```

If we live in the unaspiring mind,

Then every day we are widening

The circle of confusion-night.

```

48763

```

I wish to be

Both the lover and the defender

Of God’s Justice-Light.

```

48764

```

I call it God’s Love,

But God calls it

His complete acceptance

Of my spiritual life. ```

48765

```

The God-believers

Will always find shelter

At God’s Feet.

```

48766

```

If we do not aspire more soulfully,

We shall not be able to inspire

The future generations.

```

48767

```

Love of the world

Is my heart’s shrine. ```

48768

```

Silence descends —

The disturbing mind

Surrenders.

```

48769

```

Sunrise means

God is eager to see

The prayer-life of the seeker.

```

48770

```

Ceaseless prayers and meditations

Are of supreme need

If we want to save

This sinking world. ```

48771

```

Nature and beauty together

Discover and rediscover

Themselves.

```

48772

```

God-surrender is the only way

To surmount each and every obstacle

In the spiritual life.

```

48773

```

No desire-life

Can ever fathom

The depth of silence.

```

48774

```

Only God’s Compassion —

And not man’s aspiration —

Can solve

The most serious problems of life. ```

48775

```

Quite often

The weak souls get frightened

By the darkness of earth-reality.

```

48776

```

Aspiration-train

Stops

At the God-Destination.

```

48777

```

Desire-train

Does not know

How to stop.

```

48778

```

I conquer God’s Heart

Only when

I worship God’s Feet.

```

48779

```

Only the brave God-soldiers

Take up the dire challenge

Of life.

```

48780

```

Do not waste time!

Just try to find the heart-road

To meet the blessingful God.

```

48781

```

Our imperfections

Must not discourage us,

For at the end of our journey’s close,

Our imperfections will turn into

Perfect perfections.

```

48782

```

We demand love

From humanity;

God only expects love

From humanity. ```

48783

```

My morning heart blossoms

With the flames

Of my inner sun.

```

48784

```

My God-surrender

Unmistakably paves the way

To my God-realisation-destination.

```

48785

```

It is not true

That we must accept

Failure after failure

Before we arrive

At God’s Heart-Door.

```

48786

```

Without a simplicity-life,

Without a sincerity-heart,

We cannot run fast, very fast,

In the spiritual life. ```

48787

```

The ultimate Truth

Lives inside

A seeker’s heart,

And not just in the vicinity

Of a seeker’s life.

```

48788

```

Each plane of consciousness

Has a very special way

To look at perfect perfection.

```

48789

```

Concentration

Has to clear the mind-jungle first —

Only then can meditation

Be deep inside the mind. ```

48790

```

Each seeker

Lowers the standard

Of the inner world

By practising ceaselessly

The desire-life.

```

48791

```

Sometimes God compels the inner life

To go slowly with the outer life.

Why?

If the inner life runs fast, very fast,

The outer life will be totally disappointed

And will never practise spirituality. ```

48792

```

When we think of God,

God is far, very far. ```

48793

```

When we love God,

God is near, very near. ```

48794

```

When we surrender our will

To God’s Will,

We see God in the depths of our heart,

Smiling, singing and dancing. ```

48795

```

The human pride

That breaks and breaks

Has to be conquered.

```

48796

```

The divine pride that says,

“I belong to God,

God belongs to me,”

Has to be nourished every day. ```

48797

```

Fear of God

Can never be

The right thing.

```

48798

```

Love of God

Is always, always

The right thing.

```

48799

```

First we feel God’s Presence,

Then we feel God’s Eye,

And, finally, we feel that

God’s Compassion and our aspiration

Have become indivisible. ```

48800

```

The desire-mind never listens to God —

It only pretends.

It just looks at God to make God feel

That it is listening to Him. ```

48801

```

God is always eager

To have more and more friends,

And not servants or slaves.

```

48802

```

My morning begins

With my heart’s

God-oneness-thrill.

```

48803

```

Impossibility-disbelievers

Are

God’s favourite children.

```

48804

```

Alas, the doubting mind

Will one day get

A disappointment-thunder-kick

From God. ```

48805

```

Time

Is a real friend

Of enthusiasm.

```

48806

```

Time

Is a real enemy

Of unwillingness.

```

48807

```

Sages represent

The past tense. ```

48808

```

Sinners represent

The present tense. ```

48809

```

Do not regret!

Continue doing

The right thing.

```

48810

```

Absurdity

Can be transformed

Into reality.

```

48811

```

God gets real joy

When I love Him,

And not when I praise Him.

```

48812

```

Sound needs a microphone

For the world to listen

To its message.

```

48813

```

Silence does not need a microphone —

The sound of silence

Is very loud.

```

48814

```

Keep quiet! Listen!

Our Lord Beloved Supreme

Is about to speak.

```

48815

```

The aspiring heart

Is a true

Heaven-lover.

```

48816

```

The doubting mind

Is a daring

Heaven-intruder.

```

48817

```

Keep your heart-door

Always open.

You have no idea

When God will appear! ```

48818

```

Every day

We try to find good news

To gladden our hearts.

```

48819

```

My Lord wants me

To be the humility-grass

In His Heart-Garden.

```

48820

```

Austerities are not

The perfect way

To please God.

```

48821

```

There are many questions

In the mind,

But the mind does not want them

To be answered. ```

48822

```

The dust of the world

Easily covers

The mind.

```

48823

```

We cannot ignore

Our inner divinity

All the time.

```

48824

```

It is extremely difficult

To climb up

The realisation-mountain.

```

48825

```

Inch by inch only

Can we walk

Towards God’s Feet.

```

48826

```

I am so happy

That God has autographed

My aspiration-heart-book.

```

48827

```

My Lord,

I am totally alive

Because You eternally are.

```

48828

```

Every day

I grow gratitude-flowers

In my heart-garden

To please my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

48829

```

I love and love

Everything that I see

On my aspiration-flight.

```

48830

```

My life takes shelter

At the foot of

My aspiration-tree.

```

48831

```

My God-devotion

Will one day unlock

My mind-door.

```

48832

```

If you really love God,

You can never be

Insecure.

```

48833

```

Slowly and steadily,

My aspiration-heart-plant

Is climbing up

To reach Heaven’s Eye. ```

48834

```

Life is an eternal journey

In quest of higher worlds. ```

48835

```

Anything divine

That we have

Is deeply connected to God.

```

48836

```

I need a companion,

And that companion

Has to be

The smile of my soul. ```

48837

```

All prayers

Are extremely significant

To our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

48838

```

We have no time of our own —

It is God’s Time

That He shares with us.

```

48839

```

When we pray and meditate,

We are safe

In God’s Hands.

```

48840

```

If you really love God,

Then do not delay —

Tell Him immediately

That you love Him! ```

48841

```

No matter what God gives

To the mind,

The mind immediately measures.

```

48842

```

Whenever God creates

Something new,

The heart immediately

Jumps with joy. ```

48843

```

Everything is fine

And divine

When I claim God

To be mine. ```

48844

```

Constantly I wish

To be fully experienced

In self-giving.

```

48845

```

No defeat

Can ever be final. ```

48846

```

May each day of mine

Blossom

With my heart’s inner smiles.

```

48847

```

God and God’s Eye

Are always

For the lost souls.

```

48848

```

At the top

Of the aspiration-mountain,

There will always be

Divinity’s boundless Light. ```

48849

```

I am on earth

Only for my Master’s

Complete fulfilment.

```

48850

```

Do not conceal anything

From your Master —

Reveal your heart

To the Master’s light. ```

48851

```

Every day

I bring a new plant

Into my heart-garden,

To give more joy

To my Lord Supreme.

```

48852

```

I shall every day increase

The beauty of my aspiration

And the fragrance of my dedication.

```

48853

```

Every day

I shall climb up higher and higher

On my aspiration-mountain-heights.

```

48854

```

In my meditation,

I always feel the presence

Of golden silence.

```

48855

```

I love and I cherish

The aspiration

Of the ancient life.

```

48856

```

Insecurity,

You must not cloud

My aspiration-heart.

```

48857

```

Every morning

I place a fresh rose

From my heart-garden

At the Feet of God. ```

48858

```

Without devotion,

I cannot go fast —

But with devotion,

I run faster than the fastest. ```

48859

```

When God calls me,

My entire being

Thrills.

```

48860

```

Now that I do not have

My mind’s pride-problem,

I am running very, very fast

In my spiritual life. ```

48861

```

Every morning

Angels come to give me

A very special Message

From God. ```

48862

```

When I am without

My aspiration,

My entire being

Feels miserable. ```

48863

```

Do not wait for God

To call you —

Just run towards God.

```

48864

```

When I live

A silence-life,

I feel extremely happy.

```

48865

```

Each day

God wants me to plant two seeds —

Hope-seed and promise-seed —

In my heart-garden. ```

48866

```

My Lord, I do know

That I am a leaf

Of the world-ignorance-tree.

```

48867

```

Do not wait for Time —

You will be disappointed. ```

48868

```

Do not wait for God —

He will not come. ```

48869

```

Pride disappears —

Aspiration appears

Immediately.

```

48870

```

Plant a new hope

And a new promise

In your aspiration-heart-garden.

```

48871

```

My unconditional surrender

Is bound to get

A very special award from God.

```

48872

```

Gratitude

Is the fastest speed

In spirituality.

```

48873

```

God does not disappear.

It is only we who disappear

From God

And blame poor God unnecessarily. ```

48874

```

We can become invincible

Only when God’s Compassion-Eye

Is on our side.

```

48875

```

I have declared war

On doubt, insecurity

And impatience.

```

48876

```

God will always love our heart,

But not our mind,

Because the mind disobeys God

Quite often. ```

48877

```

My heart’s deep conviction:

I shall never, never fail God,

To please Him in His own Way.

```

48878

```

When I feel God’s Love

Inside my heart,

Only then am I really free.

```

48879

```

God speaks through my voice

Only when

I am absolutely pure.

```

48880

```

God sees through my eyes

Only when

I am ready to please God,

Unconditionally and self-givingly. ```

48881

```

My Lord says that I am improving,

But He wants me to improve much faster

So that I can become

A very good instrument of His. ```

48882

```

God breathes

Through my heart

Only when I breathe

At God’s Feet. ```

48883

```

Our fate can be changed

If we can please God

In His own Way.

```

48884

```

No inner defeat or failure

Can forever last. ```

48885

```

If we lose faith in our Master,

Then we are facing

A grave danger.

```

48886

```

A faith-heart

Can pass through

The thickest clouds.

```

48887

```

My destiny lies

Not in my Lord’s Hands,

But at His Feet.

```

48888

```

If I have to forget anything,

Then my Master says that

Fear is the only thing

I have to forget. ```

48889

```

Aspiration has to be

A seeker’s heart-beat

Plus his life-breath.

```

48890

```

When I claim God to be mine,

I have deliberately given up

My desire-life.

```

48891

```

Everything I must do in a new way.

From now on, at every moment,

God’s Way is my only way.

```

48892

```

I am no longer

A friend of desire. ```

48893

```

I will have,

From now on,

Aspiration

As my only friend. ```

48894

```

For many, there is no God.

But in my case,

I not only see God in myself,

I also see Him vividly

Inside the heart of each and every one.

```

48895

```

God wants me to reveal

All that I have and all that I am.

He never wants me to conceal anything

From Him,

Either in the inner world

Or in the outer world. ```

48896

```

I shall never listen to the mind —

Never!

My life is only for the fulfilment

Of my aspiration-heart. ```

48897

```

Alas, whoever thought

That the human life

Would be full of

Unhappy experiences? ```

48898

```

The dream of my soul

I am determined to manifest

Here on earth.

```

48899

```

Those who please God

In His own Way

Will be His supremely

Chosen children. ```

48900

```

I must treasure,

Petal by petal,

My rose-garden-heart.

```

48901

```

Without heart-tears,

There can be no

Heaven-Smiles.

```

48902

```

Every morning

I am determined to wake up

And pray and meditate,

To please God in His own Way. ```

48903

```

We must not neglect any messages

That come from within

Or from Above.

```

48904

```

My heart is always ready

To please God

Every time God asks my heart

Any question. ```

48905

```

Without inspiration and aspiration,

We shall not be able to open

Heaven’s Door.

```

48906

```

My life-boat

I am sailing and sailing

To my beautiful and new

Aspiration-shore. ```

48907

```

The morning angels

Come to me

To give me the beauty

Of morning joy. ```

48908

```

The evening angels

Come to me

To give me the fragrance

Of evening peace. ```

48909

```

I am all eager

To uproot

My life’s ignorance-tree.

```

48910

```

My God-gratitude-tears

Are the sweetest thing

That I place every day

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme. ```

48911

```

My heart loves everything,

But it loves my heart-cries for God

The most.

```

48912

```

An aspiration-heart

Always needs

The peace of a silence-life.

```

48913

```

I am so happy

That today I have demolished

My mind’s pride-tower

Completely. ```

48914

```

God will love me more,

Infinitely more,

Every day, at every moment,

If I breathe in the breath

Of utmost sincerity.

```

48915

```

My Lord wants me to be

Fully experienced

In constant self-giving.

```

48916

```

A huge amount of ignorance

Lives inside

The God-doubting mind.

```

48917

```

Every day

The dawn comes and brings

All its beauty and fragrance,

Only to be with me. ```

48918

```

My faith-heart

Conquers easily

The dryness of my mind.

```

48919

```

My Lord tells me

That I am going to please Him

Always,

In His own Way. ```

48920

```

“God is far, very far” —

This is the philosophy

Of the mind.

```

48921

```

“God is near, very near” —

This is the philosophy

Of the heart.

```

48922

```

“God is here,

Inside the heart, mind,

Vital and body” —

This is the philosophy

Of the soul.

```

48923

```

Just say a quick and soulful prayer

To God,

And then jump into

The hustle and bustle of life. ```

48924

```

Be on the alert!

God-opportunities

Fly faster than the fastest.

```

48925

```

The inner mountains

Sometimes take a lifetime

To climb;

Whereas with the outer mountains,

It is only a matter of hours.

```

48926

```

The mind

Deals with success

And not with progress.

```

48927

```

The heart

Deals with only one thing:

God’s Will-manifestation

In God’s own Way. ```

48928

```

The soul’s vision-light

Is always clear,

Very clear.

```

48929

```

My soul’s

God-manifestation-eagerness

Has neither a beginning

Nor an end. ```

48930

```

There shall come a time

When my earthly life

Shall become

A Heavenly heart. ```

48931

```

The heart always welcomes

The divine guests

That descend from Above.

```

48932

```

Small steps or big steps

Do not matter,

As long as we move forward

Towards our Destination. ```

48933

```

We must destroy the confusion

Of the ignorance-mind —

The sooner the better!

```

48934

```

There is only one question:

Who am I? ```

48935

```

One traveller,

One Goal,

One Lord.

```

48936

```

This moment

I must be a God-lover.

Next moment

I shall be a God-server.

The following moment

I shall become a God-fulfiller

In every way.

```

48937

```

It is God’s Grace that conquers

All our enemies —

Here, there and everywhere.

```

48938

```

There is no darkness-night

In the vastness

Of our ever-blossoming heart-sky.

```

48939

```

Look forward!

Look upward!

Look inward!

Hope-flowers

Are fully blossoming.

```

48940

```

Each Signature of God

Is a new hope, a new promise,

A new fulfilment.

```

48941

```

One powerful flame of the heart

Can illumine

The darkness of the mind-sky.

```

48942

```

Eagerness and fear

Can never

Live together.

```

48943

```

Imperfections must not

Intimidate us.

Imperfections must be

Challenged and conquered,

Once and for all.

```

48944

```

Love, devotion and surrender

Are our inner fortunes —

We must not misuse them.

```

48945

```

This moment my inner life

Inspires my outer life.

Next moment my inner life

Aspires for God to come down. ```

48946

```

Each outer action

Has to be supported and nourished

By inner inspiration.

```

48947

```

Happiness, happiness, happiness!

Is it a dream or a reality,

Or shall I have to invent it?

```

48948

```

I ask God:

My Lord, I cry and I sigh.

Which one do You prefer?

“My child, I need only your cry

And never, never your sighs.”

```

48949

```

When there is a match

Between the mind and the heart,

I always pray to God for the heart to win —

And God always listens to my prayer! ```

48950

```

Impossibility,

You are the message

Of the past.

```

48951

```

I came only to go

From ignorance-prison. ```

48952

```

My interest in the material world

Is fast disappearing —

I am so happy!

```

48953

```

In Heaven,

There are only two currencies:

God’s Compassion

And my gratitude. ```

48954

```

My soul plays the role of my heart

Most beautifully,

Right in front of God.

```

48955

```

For everybody

There is something really good,

And that is

God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

48956

```

I wish my heart to be

The only boss,

And not my mind.

```

48957

```

I follow only one Light,

And that Light comes from

Deep within my heart.

```

48958

```

My soul knows

How to immortalise. ```

48959

```

My heart knows

How to sympathise. ```

48960

```

Alas, will I ever know

How to fly

And enter into Paradise?

```

48961

```

God gives a new crown to my heart

Every day.

He never gives a crown

To my mind! ```

48962

```

Love the world

Sincerely, seriously

And self-givingly.

```

48963

```

My heart needs everything

That is good

For the inner world

And the outer world. ```

48964

```

First I have to learn

How to love God,

Then I have to learn

How to love myself,

And finally I have to learn

How to love the entire world. ```

48965

```

Change —

Both inner and outer —

Is essential.

```

48966

```

There is no calamity

That cannot be cured. ```

48967

```

Each time I look into my mind

With tremendous pride,

I see God going

Farther away from me. ```

48968

```

The mind knows

How to forget God’s Love

Cleverly.

```

48969

```

The heart knows

How to remember God’s Love

Most devotedly and soulfully.

```

48970

```

Since I have no more locks

On my heart-door,

God will easily be able

To come in. ```

48971

```

My happiness comes

Either from God’s Compassion-Eye

Or from His Forgiveness-Heart.

```

48972

```

Light is by far

The best Truth-finder. ```

48973

```

The beauty of the moon

Gives me real hope. ```

48974

```

The power of the sun

Makes my promise to God

Stronger than the strongest.

```

48975

```

He who does not dare to fathom

The Unfathomable

Will never succeed

In the God-aspiration-run. ```

48976

```

Do not allow the mind

To govern you —

That is the task of the heart.

```

48977

```

I try to uncover

My mind

To see if there is anything

Worthwhile in it. ```

48978

```

The moment I discover

My heart,

It is all God’s Beauty

And God’s Fragrance. ```

48979

```

My Lord,

When will You come back?

When?

```

48980

```

The mind-factory produces

The same thing,

Again and again and again:

Stupidity. ```

48981

```

Do not stop, do not stop!

Life is a continuous journey. ```

48982

```

Live always

In your ultimate heights. ```

48983

```

Live always

In your inmost depths. ```

48984

```

The mind

Expects everything —

More and more.

```

48985

```

The heart

Expects only one thing:

God’s Love.

```

48986

```

My soul congratulates

My progress-life

More than anything else.

```

48987

```

Although the vast world

Is around me,

I feel that I am all alone.

```

48988

```

God is my only

Encouraging and inspiring Helper

In the battlefield of life.

```

48989

```

My mind,

I am making it clear to you:

You are no more my instructor!

```

48990

```

The more I aspire deep within,

The more I bring success,

Not only to myself

But to the whole world. ```

48991

```

I have made

My God-surrender-choice

The only reality in my life.

```

48992

```

I tell God:

My Lord, lead my steps.

God tells me:

“No, My child,

I shall be your steps.”

```

48993

```

Action

Born of divine Love

Will always succeed.

```

48994

```

My gratitude-heart

Is my God-love

In action.

```

48995

```

I have trained my eyes

To see only the beauty

Inside each and every life.

```

48996

```

Every day

God writes down

A very special Message

On my aspiring heart. ```

48997

```

Day by day, little by little,

God is giving me the inner strength

To feel that I live

Only for my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

48998

```

May my life become

At every moment

Sweet, sweeter, sweetest

To please my Lord

In His own Way

All the time. ```

48999

```

May the deepest love

That I have for God

Bind me tight, tighter, tightest

To God. ```

49000

```

Every day until I die,

I shall weave

A gratitude-garland

And place it

At my Master’s feet.
