Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 9

8001

```

Please

Do not forget

That your soul

Is your Master’s breath. ```

8002

```

Please

Do not forget

That your life

Is your Master’s feast. ```

8003

```

Please

Do not forget

That your heart

Is your Master’s life-boat. ```

8004

```

Please

Do not forget

That you have

Many, many friends

In the world.

```

8005

```

Please

Do not forget

That your Master

Has only one friend:

Your heart’s satisfaction-smile.

```

8006

```

Please

Do not forget

That you forget your Master

In season and out of season. ```

8007

```

Please

Do not forget

That your Master

Never wants to study

In the forgetfulness-school.

```

8008

```

Please

Do not forget

That your Master

Is a constant beggar.

He begs you to give him

What you have:

Ignorance-night.

```

8009

```

Please

Do not forget

That your Master

Is a sleepless and breathless beggar.

He begs God to give him

What He has and what He is

For you, only for you.

```

8010

```

My mind-room

Is a room of hesitation,

Confusion and hallucination.

```

8011

```

My heart-room

Is a room of God-illumination,

God-perfection and God-satisfaction.

```

8012

```

Where do I live?

I live in the mind

Of my sad face.

```

8013

```

Where do I live?

I live in the soul

Of my happy heart.

```

8014

```

My Lord Supreme tells me that

To make Him happy

I must love His creation first.

```

8015

```

Unless a seeker listens to

His heart-whispers,

He will make no spiritual progress.

```

8016

```

A spiritual Master

Enters into the heart

Of humanity,

Not to teach, but to awaken. ```

8017

```

A true meditation

Teaches us how to live

Without any expectation.

```

8018

```

My inner life

Hungers for peace.

Alas,

Peace is nowhere to be found. ```

8019

```

My outer life

Hungers for power.

Alas,

Power is nowhere to be found. ```

8020

```

The heart-union

Is infinitely stronger than

The mind-division.

```

8021

```

My Lord is conscious and alert

Even before I make

Any deplorable mistakes.

```

8022

```

Supreme,

Ignorance-night is too strong

For me to fight with.

Will You not conquer

Ignorance-night for me?

```

8023

```

No matter how long it takes,

We must set our God-surrender

In motion.

```

8024

```

My aspiration-multitude

Has devoured

My mind’s exasperation-attitude.

```

8025

```

My heart can never understand

Why my mind, vital and body

Are so attached

To the fleeting finite. ```

8026

```

To release ourselves

From attachment-bondage,

May our God-surrender

Bloom and bloom. ```

8027

```

I am afraid

If I continue disbelieving God,

Who knows,

Someday I will become the dust

Of uselessness.

```

8028

```

Alas, in vain

I am begging and begging

And forcing and forcing doubt

To make a swift exit. ```

8029

```

The beauty of sincerity-road

Will take us to our Goal

Sooner than otherwise.

```

8030

```

O my mind,

You yourself are empty of peace.

How do you dare to bring about

World-peace? ```

8031

```

You will become

A supremely chosen instrument

Of God

If you spend all your thoughts

With your heart’s wisdom-light.

```

8032

```

I do not know why

The whole world

Is always eager to eat

Temptation-candies. ```

8033

```

May my heart rise

Like incense-prayer

To the highest God-Temple.

```

8034

```

Despair:

A journey with no

Destination.

```

8035

```

If you do not value

Your heart’s nest-home,

Who can and who will?

```

8036

```

My divinity-flooded satisfaction

I get

Only when I can prayerfully

And soulfully sit

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme.

```

8037

```

My aspiration-heart’s

Journey to Heaven

Is infallible.

```

8038

```

In my spiritual life,

My fastest speed comes from

My Lord’s Compassion-flooded Eye.

```

8039

```

You believe in God.

To you, He definitely exists.

Why do you not then please God

When He persists in asking you

To surrender everything to Him —

What you have and what you are? ```

8040

```

Instead of becoming proud,

Alas,

I am extremely afraid

Of my heart-tears. ```

8041

```

Death does its duty

By closing our eyes for good.

My Lord does His Duty

By injecting into us

His ever-charming,

Jumping Enthusiasm. ```

8042

```

Although I have fallen

Innumerable times,

I shall, my Lord,

Always claim You

To be my All.

```

8043

```

My Lord,

My mind cannot comprehend

Your Greatness.

My heart cannot fathom

Your Goodness.

But one thing is certain:

Both my mind and heart

Are all for You. ```

8044

```

Which is bigger,

My prayer-mind

Or

My meditation-heart?

Needless to say,

My meditation-heart. ```

8045

```

My Lord,

I shall win against ignorance-night.

Why and how?

I have You on my team. ```

8046

```

For an unaspiring human being,

A confusion-mind

Is inescapable.

```

8047

```

God does not need science

To interpret.

God’s Compassion is His own

Interpreter. ```

8048

```

My aspiration-heart-river

Is taking away

All my worries and anxieties.

```

8049

```

The day we do not have

Our inner cries,

That particular day

Is worse than useless. ```

8050

```

Leave me alone,

O ignorance-night.

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Is hungry

For the beauty and fragrance

Of my heart. ```

8051

```

My mind, do not worry.

Sing, sing!

Everything and everybody

Will take your side. ```

8052

```

I have declared to myself

That every day

Is a God-fulfilment-day.

```

8053

```

God tells me

That if He can increase

His infinite Compassion,

What is wrong with me?

How is it that I show no compassion

To my fellow citizens

Of the world?

```

8054

```

When we stop

The freedom of the mind,

Every day will be

A God-satisfaction-day. ```

8055

```

Today’s impossible achievements

Tomorrow may appear

As inevitability.

```

8056

```

A God-doubter

Is he

Who will never be fulfilled.

```

8057

```

If you study

In ignorance-school,

How can you avoid being

A total failure? ```

8058

```

I can either be

My mind’s desire-entertainer

Or

God-illumination-prince. ```

8059

```

The mind wants to impress

The whole world with its capacity,

Which is next to nothing.

```

8060

```

The heart wants to aspire

And aspire

For the whole world.

```

8061

```

When I am in the company

Of God-lovers,

My falsehood-life disappears.

```

8062

```

Anything that is human in life

Has to go through

Life’s outer comedy

And inner tragedy. ```

8063

```

O my mind-jungle,

Do you not realise

That I am only for

My heart-garden? ```

8064

```

If I live in the mind,

The world comes to my mind

As a question always.

```

8065

```

If I live in the heart,

The world comes to my heart

As an immediate

And everlasting answer. ```

8066

```

God’s official residence

Is in

My mind-territory.

```

8067

```

God’s private residence

Is in

My heart’s all-oneness-nest.

```

8068

```

Do not sleep!

If you sleep,

How can you be summoned

By God

To be with Him?

```

8069

```

From the soul’s point of view,

We do not need

An outer teacher in life.

What we need

Is a private tutor.

```

8070

```

How to believe God?

He tells me that one day

My love for Him

Will equal His Love for me. ```

8071

```

Each soulful song

Goes a long way

To become a choice instrument

Of God. ```

8072

```

Intelligence

Is not aware of

Its impossible stupidity.

```

8073

```

Intelligence does not know

When and how it becomes

Belligerence at times.

```

8074

```

Definitely God is far,

Very far,

When you walk along the road

Of anxieties and worries. ```

8075

```

God asks me to shut up

When I criticise ruthlessly

His beloved creation.

```

8076

```

God cries and cries and cries

When I shut

My world-oneness-heart-door.

```

8077

```

Speak to God

Any time you want to.

He is the only one

Who will not walk away. ```

8078

```

If you forget God today,

Then tomorrow

He will not invite you

To play with Him. ```

8079

```

If we do not have faith in God,

What happens?

Our troubles are shockingly

Multiplied. ```

8080

```

When a seeker

Surrenders his freedom to God,

God embraces him most proudly.

```

8081

```

Kindness and concern

Always find the shortest way

At the fastest speed

To God. ```

8082

```

Believe me,

God sheds bitter tears

In your helplessness

And hopelessness. ```

8083

```

The moment

I am a God-realised person,

I begin a new creation.

```

8084

```

War is not an adventure.

It is our stupidity’s

Endless height.

```

8085

```

When I am in my vital

And my mind,

I enjoy the superficial.

```

8086

```

When I am in my heart

And soul,

I only enjoy the life and breath

Of the ever-transcending Beyond. ```

8087

```

Nature and mind

May fool each other,

But Nature and heart

Will always be pleased

With each other

And fulfil each other together. ```

8088

```

If you want God to dine with you,

Never, never,

Even for a fleeting second,

Whine. ```

8089

```

When I am in my vital

And my mind,

I am terribly afraid of Light.

```

8090

```

When I am in my heart

And my soul,

I claim Light to be my own,

Very own. ```

8091

```

If you live in the mind,

You can at best be

A schemer.

```

8092

```

If you live in the heart,

You are going to be

A choice dreamer of God.

```

8093

```

It is almost an impossible task

To write a heart-aspiration-book

While the life is enjoying vacation.

```

8094

```

The more I mix

With my doubting mind,

The sooner my life becomes

Perfectly imperfect. ```

8095

```

To sleep on the lap

Of Mother Earth

We came not into the world.

```

8096

```

We came into the world

To fight for Mother Earth

Against her countless enemies.

```

8097

```

Each spiritual Master

Comes into the world

To awaken the sleeping divinity

Of human beings. ```

8098

```

Look at my mind!

Empty-handed it went to God,

Empty-handed it returns.

```

8099

```

Look at my heart!

With folded hands it went to God

And came back with God

The Bountiful. ```

8100

```

God’s Compassion,

God’s Forgiveness

Can never be inaccessible.

```

8101

```

My God-thirsty hunger

Who can stop?

No, nobody!

```

8102

```

I am happy,

Infinitely happy,

When I bury myself

In the depth

Of the Unknowable.

```

8103

```

One God-vision is enough

To destroy our untold

Fears and doubts.

```

8104

```

Can you tell me,

O my mind,

Where you have hidden

My child-heart? ```

8105

```

Devotion is needed

In boundless measure

To illumine my mind’s

Darkness-abyss. ```

8106

```

The beauty and fragrance

Of our aspiration-heart

Know no vacation.

```

8107

```

My Lord Supreme’s

Blessingful Eagerness to please me

Can only be felt

And never be described. ```

8108

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Are showing me the way

To liberate myself

From my self-styled mind-prison.

```

8109

```

Instead of saying

“Oneness-responsibility,”

Let us call it

“Oneness-beauty.” ```

8110

```

May each God-manifestation-choice

Of ours

Get a championship prize.

```

8111

```

Without adamantine will-power,

Nobody can be awakened

From this nightmare-world.

```

8112

```

My joy is when

I bind my heart

To my Lord’s

Compassion-Feet. ```

8113

```

Who actually owns

My soul,

If not the sleepless

God-server in me? ```

8114

```

Our faith

Is the freedom-key

From our mind’s

Abysmal abyss. ```

8115

```

The heart knows

No tiredness.

The mind knows nothing but

Constant hunger for retirement. ```

8116

```

Each illumining Whisper from God

Shows my gratitude-heart

How to walk along Eternity’s Road.

```

8117

```

Imagination becomes illumination

When we live

In constant God-preparation.

```

8118

```

To see God

In the twinkling of an eye,

Enjoy your heart’s

Perpetual cry. ```

8119

```

We all must try to read

And understand

God’s Suggestion Book.

```

8120

```

Misused freedom

Is a life-threatening

Danger.

```

8121

```

Yesterday you looked for God.

You did not find Him.

Can you not look for Him today?

Who knows,

Perhaps He will be available.

```

8122

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is all-where.

Only our awareness

Is missing. ```

8123

```

My mind, you tell me that

Your love of God is dead.

Your pronouncement

Is not acceptable. ```

8124

```

Satisfaction-shortage

Is within, without

And all-where.

```

8125

```

Receptivity-scarcity

Is the cause

Of humanity’s downfall.

```

8126

```

My life-boat plies between

God’s Forgiveness-Shore

And God’s Compassion-Shore.

```

8127

```

The suspecting mind

Does not have anything nice to say

About God’s

Unconditional Compassion. ```

8128

```

God’s creation

May believe

In impossibility.

```

8129

```

God’s Vision-Eye

Never believes

In impossibility.

```

8130

```

How difficult it is

To come out of temptation-territory,

But a genuine seeker

Definitely can come out of it. ```

8131

```

Man is man’s

Changing

Mind-house.

```

8132

```

Man is man’s

Unchanging

Heart-home.

```

8133

```

God Himself will amplify

Your efforts

For His Satisfaction.

```

8134

```

It may not be an easy task,

But certainly it is not

An impossible task

To stay awake

For God’s choice Hour.

```

8135

```

My joy knows no bounds

That finally my God-doubting hour

Has expired.

```

8136

```

What I sincerely need

Is God-reliance

And not my self-confidence.

```

8137

```

God enjoys watching me

When I enjoy my pilgrimage

To my oneness-heart-home.

```

8138

```

It is not possible

For a human being to hide

Indefinitely

His God-disbelief. ```

8139

```

I am on the lookout for hope.

Alas,

Is there anyone to rescue me?

```

8140

```

I equally love

My aspiration-invitation

And my desire-eviction.

```

8141

```

The inner commotion

Destroys

All our outer joys.

```

8142

```

I do not even want to look

At the face

Of my temptation-neighbour.

```

8143

```

The mind’s unwillingness

To accept God’s Will

Is at once laughable

And painful. ```

8144

```

Look at the heart’s willingness

To love God:

No matter what God does to the heart,

The heart remains totally faithful

To God.

```

8145

```

Will-power has to be exercised

Always

In the mind and heart

Of each and every human being. ```

8146

```

Everything in me loves

God’s Golden Shore,

Even my uncertain mind.

```

8147

```

My God-pleasing soul

Devoured voraciously

My mind’s endless doubts.

```

8148

```

Be a lion-hearted

Seeker

And a self-giving

God-lover. ```

8149

```

My soul,

I would like you to whisper

Only love and joy,

But power — never! ```

8150

```

If your life becomes

A God-surrender-heart-garden,

Then easily you can illumine

The dividing mind. ```

8151

```

If you follow the path of devotion,

Go sincerely.

Then love and surrender

Will follow you. ```

8152

```

Alas, I do not know

When my unconditional

Surrender-hour will begin.

Or will it never begin? ```

8153

```

My Lord, am I destined

Forever to remain inside

My mind’s confusion-abyss?

```

8154

```

The outer ears

Enjoy

Humour and gossip.

```

8155

```

The inner ears

Prayerfully and soulfully

Enjoy devotion-discourses.

```

8156

```

Although the path

Is stony and steep,

At the end of the path

Our Lord Beloved Supreme

Is eagerly waiting for our arrival.

```

8157

```

Every day I pray to God

To give my mind the capacity

To swim in silence-sea.

```

8158

```

May my peace-hunger

Every day, every hour,

Every minute, every second

Increase in measureless measure. ```

8159

```

When you carry

The fragrance of love with you,

You run the fastest

Towards your Destination. ```

8160

```

I have a dream.

It is all about the transformation

Of my unwillingness-mind.

```

8161

```

It is impossible

To fathom the power

Of self-deception.

```

8162

```

O God-seeker,

My heart-room I have kept

Clean, serene and pure.

Do come and be my lifelong guest. ```

8163

```

No matter where I go,

I meet with only

God’s Compassion-Bounty.

```

8164

```

The doubt-clouds must be dispersed

By the intensity

Of our heart’s love for God

And faith in God. ```

8165

```

God invites me to listen to

His Sound,

Which is at once soundless

And endless. ```

8166

```

The heart that loves

Unites

All and sundry.

```

8167

```

The mind that divides

Disintegrates

Eventually.

```

8168

```

The Beauty of my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye

Is my only heart-home.

```

8169

```

My ego

Likes to scream

All the time.

```

8170

```

My confidence

Loves to rule the world

All the time.

```

8171

```

My God-surrender

Loves to please God,

His entire creation,

All the time

In His own Way.

```

8172

```

I shall no more allow

World-criticism

To destroy the beauty

Of my flower-heart-home. ```

8173

```

He who remains neutral

Can never be a true friend

Of my heart.

```

8174

```

My soul’s nectar-delight

Is always eager to devour

My mind-poison

And my heart-sorrows. ```

8175

```

Every day my soul

Inspires me to pray to God

For my temptation-defeat

And my illumination-victory. ```

8176

```

Every day my soul

Distributes God-news

To all those

Who have staunch faith in God. ```

8177

```

My aspiration-heart is poised

Only in God’s

Compassion-flooded Presence.

```

8178

```

The invisible mind presents us

With the visible thoughts,

Encouraging and discouraging.

```

8179

```

My heart’s inner fear

Multiplies

When I see the sunset

Shedding tears. ```

8180

```

If you cannot love the unlovable,

Then you are not worthy

To become

God’s supremely chosen instrument. ```

8181

```

How I wish I could have

Only one flower

In my heart-garden:

Gratitude and nothing else. ```

8182

```

The more we cultivate willingness,

The sooner we discover

Our true Self.

```

8183

```

I am only interested

In the God-song,

And I do not need to know

Who sings it. ```

8184

```

May determination be

My lifelong friend

To fight with me

Against ignorance-night. ```

8185

```

The members

Of my heart-family

Are, without fail,

All over the world. ```

8186

```

Of all the medicines

In the inner life,

A smile is by far

The best medicine. ```

8187

```

A world of peace will be

The supreme achievement

Of humanity.

```

8188

```

The very nature

Of inner depth

Is to illumine

The outer life. ```

8189

```

Only a fool

Can be insecure

When the world

Ridicules him. ```

8190

```

To have

A God-gratitude-heart,

You must start your journey

Immediately. ```

8191

```

When I give my life

To God,

He gives me His Life-Breath

In return. ```

8192

```

Never give up,

No matter how long

You have to suffer

From an uncertainty-mind! ```

8193

```

Only the mind of peace

Can enter into

The silence-sea.

```

8194

```

May my outer life

Remain a devoted student

Of my inner life

Always. ```

8195

```

My heart-tears

Are proudly blessed

By God’s golden Feet.

```

8196

```

My Lord says to me:

“My child,

If you conquer Me first,

Then only I shall conquer

The world for you.”

```

8197

```

The united heart

Is always more powerful

Than the divided mind.

```

8198

```

Each soul-flower

Has the capacity to carry us

Beyond the domain of expectation.

```

8199

```

O my heart-river,

Where are you?

When will you take

My mind-worries away? ```

8200

```

My Lord, I do know that

One day

This hide-and-seek game

Will end,

But do show me the way

To expedite it. ```

8201

```

My world-acceptance

Is in no way detrimental

To my God-surrender-life.

```

8202

```

Leave me alone,

O my ignorance-night!

I have absolutely

Nothing to do with you. ```

8203

```

My Lord,

Never allow my aspiration

To take even the shortest

Possible break. ```

8204

```

Yesterday I forgot

To love You, my Lord.

Alas, therefore my life

Has become a broken heart. ```

8205

```

Unless you are

A devoted student

Of peace,

How can you ever dare

To claim peace

To come to your salvation? ```

8206

```

It is not a difficult task

To make the Supreme happy.

Just continue to climb

Sleeplessly and breathlessly. ```

8207

```

My heart is longing

For simplicity’s life

And sincerity’s breath.

```

8208

```

My mind is longing

For only one thing:

Publicity.

```

8209

```

God has not created

Any life on earth

Totally empty of light.

```

8210

```

Satisfaction will appear

Only when

We can dare to claim

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

As our own, very own.

```

8211

```

There is not a single seeker

Who does not have the capacity

To run at top speed

Towards his Destination. ```

8212

```

God’s Light

Can be not only seen

But also possessed

When our self-importance

Surrenders to our God-reliance.

```

8213

```

What we need

Is an indomitable spirit,

Soaring all the time

To please God

In His own Way.

```

8214

```

My Lord,

You have given me

So many things.

Just one thing more:

Do enfold me

In Your Infinity’s Peace-Heart. ```

8215

```

My Lord,

When someone looks at me,

I beg of him

To look inside my heart

To see the real in me.

```

8216

```

My Lord tells me:

“My child,

If you want to be real,

Then be here.

Again, if you are going to be here,

Then be real.” ```

8217

```

My Lord has given me

Not one, but two hands

To serve.

Alas, what am I doing?

Why am I not using them?

```

8218

```

My Lord has given me

Such a beautiful heart.

How is it that I am not using it

All the time

To love Him only?

```

8219

```

There was a time

When my Lord’s Protection-Arms

Protected me and my life.

```

8220

```

How am I being protected now?

I am now being protected

By my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart. ```

8221

```

Negativity-enjoyment,

No, no, no!

Negativity-enlightenment,

Yes, yes, yes! ```

8222

```

My Lord asks me

In which way He is less attractive

Than any human being on earth.

How is it

That I am not falling in love

With Him? ```

8223

```

When I move around

In my Lord’s Heart-Garden

With a heavy heart,

He simply ignores me. ```

8224

```

When I move around

In my Lord’s Heart-Garden

With a happy heart,

He Himself comes to me

And shows me everything

In detail. ```

8225

```

My Lord tells me

That my mind’s cleverness-smile

Will never be a match

For my heart’s kindness-smile. ```

8226

```

My Lord tells me

That His Compassion-Eye

Is not my Saviour.

Even His Forgiveness-Heart

Is not my Saviour.

He alone

Is my Saviour,

My Eternity’s Saviour. ```

8227

```

My Lord tells me

That if I want to be His champion,

Then I must not renounce the world.

I must accept the world,

Love the world

And become the world

For its ultimate transformation.

```

8228

```

Unless and until we can satisfy

Our Lord Supreme

In His own Way,

There shall always remain a vacuum

In the depth of our heart.

```

8229

```

By hating the mind,

We cannot change

The mind —

Never! ```

8230

```

By shunning the mind,

We cannot change

The mind —

Never! ```

8231

```

By loving the mind

And pleading with the mind

For its transformation,

We are bound to succeed.

Let us try this here on earth.

```

8232

```

Each uncomely thought

Deprives us

Of our God-receptivity.

```

8233

```

May my life

Be a devotion-sprint

And not a march —

And definitely not a walk! ```

8234

```

Because you do not

Pray and meditate regularly,

Your spiritual life

Is trampled by lost hopes. ```

8235

```

My devotion-heart,

You will run faster than the fastest

If you devotedly follow

The Hunger of my Inner Pilot. ```

8236

```

May each day

Be a new hope

For a God-thirsty heart.

```

8237

```

My devotion-heart and I

Desperately need

Our mind-illumination.

```

8238

```

My Lord, do not crown my career

With conquests,

But allow my life to be only

The fulfilment

Of Your constant Behest.

```

8239

```

If you bind yourself

Deliberately

To your desire-life,

Then even God will not come

To liberate you.

```

8240

```

You may think that

Your mind’s conviction-road

Will be void of obstacles.

You may be totally wrong! ```

8241

```

Obedience, I love you.

Why?

Because God has implicit faith

In you. ```

8242

```

My Lord,

You have taught me

How to love You intensely

And

How to love You immensely.

Now do teach me

How to love You sleeplessly

Plus unconditionally. ```

8243

```

God came to embrace him.

Why?

Because he fired himself

With ceaseless God-glorifying prayers. ```

8244

```

I must feel

That my heart

Is a most significant source

Of divine truth. ```

8245

```

The Motherland

Is the beauty-delight

Of poetry.

```

8246

```

The Fatherland

Is the thunder-roar

Of prose.

```

8247

```

When I love God frequently,

God tells me:

“My child, take anything

That you want from Me.” ```

8248

```

When I love God

Sleeplessly and breathlessly,

God tells me:

“My child, from now on,

I am all yours.”

```

8249

```

If your morning prayer

Does not include gratitude,

Then it is of no avail.

```

8250

```

Heaven’s official currency

Is

My God-gratitude-fragrance.

```

8251

```

My heart’s God-tears

Must irrigate

The entire world.

```

8252

```

Whenever God writes to me,

He never forgets to end the letter

With two specific lines:

“My child, I love you intensely.

My child, I need you badly.”

```

8253

```

May my God-surrender-life

Become a permanent experience

For me.

```

8254

```

Nothing can be

As beautiful and pure

And nothing can be

More pleasing to God

Than our heart-tears.

```

8255

```

When I am in my soul,

I enjoy my soul’s

Ecstasy-sea.

```

8256

```

When I am in my body,

I enjoy my body’s

Lethargy-coma.

```

8257

```

At every moment

I treasure my Lord’s

Compassion-Rain.

```

8258

```

At every moment

My Lord treasures

My gratitude-flames.

```

8259

```

A sleepless surrender is needed

To better understand the purpose

Of God’s Justice-Light.

```

8260

```

There can be

No satisfactory substitute

For my Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart.

```

8261

```

Do not stop dreaming.

Dreaming is the harbinger

Of God-becoming.

```

8262

```

My seeker-friend,

Since surrender is missing

In your spiritual life,

You will have to cover

A longer than the longest distance.

```

8263

```

God’s Love

My heart and I

Definitely have.

```

8264

```

God’s Peace

My mind and I

Do not have —

Even an iota. ```

8265

```

We are so fortunate

That our heart-dictionary

Does not house the word

“Negativity.” ```

8266

```

I am sure God is tired

Of my old life:

A life of depression-night.

```

8267

```

Spirituality is nothing other than

Surrender to God’s Will

At every moment.

```

8268

```

We came down

From God

The Transcendental Vision.

```

8269

```

We enter

Into God

The Universal Manifestation.

```

8270

```

The highest quality

Of aspiration

Can be attained

Only by sleepless self-giving. ```

8271

```

Every morning

My Lord enters into my mind

To kindle enthusiasm-lamp.

```

8272

```

May the beauty

Of the heart

And the positivity

Of the mind

Always mingle together.

```

8273

```

As God devours

My darkness-night,

Even so

I am determined to devour

God’s Light-Delight.

```

8274

```

My heart’s sweetness-smile

Is all my Lord wants

From me.

```

8275

```

We can never be perfect

If we fail to see ourselves

All-where.

```

8276

```

The day breaks.

My God-gratitude-heart

Sings.

```

8277

```

Fame on earth

Has no access

To Heaven.

```

8278

```

Faith in Mother Earth

And faith in God

Can unmistakably have always

A free access to Heaven. ```

8279

```

A reasoning mind

Is

A floundering life.

```

8280

```

No matter how kind

And compassionate Light is

Towards ignorance-night,

Ignorance-night is always ready

To fight against Light.

```

8281

```

May my searching mind

Always be prepared

To accept the Light from Above.

```

8282

```

The mind

Is apt to talk

Most eloquently.

```

8283

```

The heart

Is apt to listen

Untiringly.

```

8284

```

God the Compassion

Is the root of life.

Man the God-acceptance

Is the branch. ```

8285

```

I cry with breathless joy

When I see God’s Forgiveness-Feet

Are mediating between

Heaven’s indifference

And

Earth’s insolence. ```

8286

```

If your unconditional surrender

To God’s Will is genuine,

Then God will give you

A free passport

To enter into His Heart-Kingdom.

```

8287

```

Waste not a second!

The Lord Supreme is beckoning you

To fly to Him

At your fastest speed. ```

8288

```

We must never forget

That our very breath

Is an unconditional gift from God,

Our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

8289

```

If you give your love and gratitude

To God every day,

Your outer life will grow strikingly

And

Your inner life will glow immeasurably.

```

8290

```

My joy knows no bounds,

For my heart has received

The receptivity-award

From my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

8291

```

My Lord,

Each time I see Your Signature

Inside my heart,

I make a new solemn promise

For Your complete manifestation

Here on earth. ```

8292

```

A divine server

Is the fulfilment

Of God’s

Unlimited Dreams. ```

8293

```

The tranquillity of my heart

Embodies

God’s boundless Love.

```

8294

```

If you want to run at top speed

Towards your Goal,

Then God-surrender

Is of paramount importance. ```

8295

```

The heart is happy

And satisfied

By feeling that the moon

Is beautiful. ```

8296

```

The mind is happy

And satisfied

By thinking that the moon

Is fearful and blightful. ```

8297

```

Who are my companions?

My companions are

God-hunger-seekers.

```

8298

```

God always wants me

To think of

The transcendental Goal

And not of the distance. ```

8299

```

When I admire God,

God tells me

To come and stand

Very close to him. ```

8300

```

When I love God,

God tells me:

“Hurry up, My child,

Hurry up!

I am eagerly waiting

For an embrace from you.” ```

8301

```

Alas, when will this world of ours

Ever care for

Simplicity-aspiration?

```

8302

```

Alas, when will this world of ours

Ever care for

Sincerity-devotion?

```

8303

```

Alas, when will this world of ours

Ever care for

Perfection-indispensability?

```

8304

```

When our souls start glowing

Inside our hearts,

They never stop.

```

8305

```

If you do not live inside your heart,

That means you are a real vagabond

In your inner world.

```

8306

```

Eternity laughs and laughs

At our earthly

Monumental achievements.

```

8307

```

If you want to live

Inside your heart-temple,

Then sweep away the dust

Of the past. ```

8308

```

The heart is not afraid

Of God’s powerful Eye,

But of His tearful Eye.

```

8309

```

My heart is not moved

By God’s Miracle-Hands,

But by His Compassion-Eye.

```

8310

```

My Lord Supreme,

How could You go away

And leave me alone,

Knowing perfectly well

That the devouring ignorance-tigers

Are all around me? ```

8311

```

When I self-givingly smile,

Heaven immediately opens up

Its gate.

```

8312

```

Everything that God does for humanity,

Either in the inner world

Or the outer world,

Is free of charge. ```

8313

```

I have seen the beauty

Of my Master’s lotus-feet.

I have enjoyed the fragrance

Of my Master’s compassion-feet.

I am now the delight

Of my Master’s forgiveness-feet. ```

8314

```

God reveals Himself

In and through the smiles

Of my face.

```

8315

```

God reveals Himself

In and through the tears

Of my eyes.

```

8316

```

On you proceed,

On you proceed!

The road is infinitely longer

Than you can ever imagine. ```

8317

```

As soon as my doubting mind

Starts its doubting game,

My aspiration-heart departs.

```

8318

```

Miracles cannot satisfy

Our heart-hunger.

Miracles feed

Our mind-curiosity. ```

8319

```

Aspiration tells us

How far

We are supposed to go.

```

8320

```

Aspiration tells us

How little

We are supposed to carry with us

Along the way. ```

8321

```

God the Compassion

Does not ask me

How much I can give Him.

```

8322

```

God the Compassion

Asks me only

How much I can take from Him.

```

8323

```

My goal is to traverse

The uncharted land

Of my soul.

```

8324

```

May my life become

A God-promising

Fulfilment-satisfaction.

```

8325

```

May my life become

A golden light

Of my God-blossoming heart.

```

8326

```

Do not cry,

Do not cry.

Just prayerfully smile,

If God-Forgiveness

Is your genuine expectation.

```

8327

```

My God-eagerness-heart,

You have simply no idea

How I treasure you!

```

8328

```

My God-readiness-mind,

Every day you are increasing

My confidence and pride in you.

```

8329

```

My love, my devotion

And my surrender —

These three divine gifts

I bring out from God’s Heart

And place at God’s Feet.

```

8330

```

I do not want to remember,

Even for a fleeting minute,

That once upon a time

I walked along the path

Of my narrowness-mind.

```

8331

```

What am I doing?

I am walking along the path

Of my wideness-heart

Slowly, steadily and unerringly. ```

8332

```

God invited me to be the master

Of my mind.

Alas, I have become my mind’s slave

Instead. ```

8333

```

Divinity-flooded emotions

A true God-lover has

And is.

```

8334

```

My Lord

Lives in the vicinity

Of my clarity-mind.

```

8335

```

My Lord

Lives in the purity-temple

Of my heart.

```

8336

```

No matter how much frustration

I pour into my Lord’s Heart,

He tells me:

“My child,

Give Me more,

If you have still more to give.

Empty yourself completely.”

```

8337

```

I am self-givingly accompanying

My speeding soul.

Therefore, my Lord Supreme

Has abundant Pride in me. ```

8338

```

The sooner you extinguish

Your desire-fire,

The more God will shower

His choicest Blessings upon you. ```

8339

```

A God-unbeliever becomes

A God-believer

When tragedy-doom is imminent.

```

8340

```

A God-hater becomes

A God-lover

Not because God is all-powerful,

But because God is all-forgiving. ```

8341

```

Do not be disappointed,

My heart.

God will not be able

To remain away any longer

From your orphan cries and tears.

```

8342

```

What do I drink ceaselessly?

I drink my Lord’s

Nectar-Delight-Forgiveness.

```

8343

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Begs me

To devour voraciously

His Compassion-Smiles. ```

8344

```

God smiles and smiles and smiles

When I place at His Feet

The helplessness and hopelessness

Of my heart-tears. ```

8345

```

There is only one winner:

God’s sleepless

Victory-singer.

```

8346

```

Before our God-realisation,

Our heart remains

An unexplored God-territory.

```

8347

```

My Lord,

If You want to forget everything else,

You may do so.

But keep my life always

Under Your Protection-Tree.

```

8348

```

How difficult it is

To believe the mind

When it makes

Self-improvement-promises! ```

8349

```

I do not want my heart

Ever to know

How maliciously and unjustly

My unlit mind criticises

My heart.

```

8350

```

He who is all heart

Can only breathe in

And breathe out

With a childlike simplicity.

Others may fail,

But he who is all heart

Will eventually succeed.

```

8351

```

If you want to maintain

Your innocence,

Then do not allow

Your dividing mind

To overpower you.

```

8352

```

If you really want to be

A seven-year-old child,

Then forcefully grab your head

And throw it into your heart-sea. ```

8353

```

Let us give all our mind-power

To God unreservedly.

Lo and behold,

He will turn it into

His Nectar-Delight.

```

8354

```

Make friends with

Your heart-gardener,

And keep away from

Both the mind-jungle

And

The mind-jungle-owner. ```

8355

```

We get the lessons of the heart

Only when we walk along

The sunlit path.

```

8356

```

You must listen

To your heart-teacher,

If you are planning to study

At the inner school. ```

8357

```

Age can never be

The real problem.

The real and only problem

Is our self-doubt-mind. ```

8358

```

If we really fear God,

Then we do not have to

Be afraid of

Any human being on earth. ```

8359

```

For our outer success

And inner progress,

We must keep our body, vital,

Mind and heart

Under our perfect control.

```

8360

```

I always accept most gratefully

The scoldings of my Inner Pilot

To make my fastest progress.

```

8361

```

When we give our Master

The full responsibility

For our inner life and outer life,

He immediately claims us

As his own, very own.

```

8362

```

I shall never forget

All the blessingful smiles

That I have received from my Master

Over the years. ```

8363

```

I am ready to forget the days

When my Master admired me,

But I am not going to forget

The day I offered my heart-tears

To my Master.

```

8364

```

What can be more significant

In a seeker’s life

Than to keep in mind always

His Master’s compassion-flooded eye? ```

8365

```

O seeker,

If your Master shows you

A displeasure-face,

Immediately remember that

It is absolutely necessary.

```

8366

```

If you cannot accept cheerfully

Your Master’s outer criticism,

Then you may develop slowly

And steadily

Inner cancer.

```

8367

```

Sing, sing all the time,

O seeker,

Your heart-songs

Right in front of your mind.

Your mind will ultimately surrender.

```

8368

```

My Inner Pilot tells me

To concentrate on my heart

During my meditation

And not on the clock. ```

8369

```

Believe it or not,

If you sincerely aspire and meditate,

Your aspiration and meditation

Are of tremendous help

To your Inner Pilot.

```

8370

```

When your consciousness

Is at its highest,

Do not forget that it is

A joint achievement of yours

And your Master’s.

```

8371

```

If you do not believe in God,

Who will be the real loser,

If not the real fool in you?

```

8372

```

If your Master appreciates

Your good heart,

That does not mean you can continue

With your wild mind and vital. ```

8373

```

Nobody can properly answer

The question

Except your heart,

If you are, indeed,

A true disciple.

```

8374

```

Every day I am treasuring

More and more

My sweet God-surrender-life.

```

8375

```

Jealousy

Is nothing short of

A ferocious tiger

That can devour everything

In a twinkling.

```

8376

```

We must know that

If we do not avoid

Our undivine and uncomely thoughts,

Then we are heading towards

Our doom.

```

8377

```

Alas, fear has already convinced

Our mind

That it is a time bomb.

At one point,

Fear can destroy us.

```

8378

```

Do not allow fear and doubt

To torture you.

Your own love of God

Will frighten them. ```

8379

```

True, the world is false.

It is equally true that

There are many individuals

Who are most sincerely trying

To perfect their natures

For God-Satisfaction

In the world.

```

8380

```

When two oneness-hearts talk

To each other,

We see the most beautiful dance

Of affection and sweetness. ```

8381

```

The ancient heart

Was flooded

With affection.

```

8382

```

The modern heart

Has always a shortage

Of affection.

```

8383

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Does visit me every day,

But my God-frustration-mind

Quite often

Blinds my God-aspiration-heart.

```

8384

```

God-manifestation

Is an experience

That cannot be separated

From the smiles and the tears

Of the heart.

```

8385

```

God-realisation definitely demands

Not one, but many incarnations

Of the heart’s

Mounting flames. ```

8386

```

God-realisation demands

Sleepless and breathless preparation

In the inner life of aspiration

And

In the outer life of dedication.

```

8387

```

We are so fortunate

That God never loses hope.

His Hope is our only salvation.

```

8388

```

The entire universe is sustained

By only one thing:

God’s Hope.

```

8389

```

We need God’s Heart

For our

Heavenly realisation.

```

8390

```

God needs our hearts

For His

Earthly manifestation.

```

8391

```

The outer manifestation

Needs

God the Power.

```

8392

```

The inner manifestation

Needs

God the Beloved.

```

8393

```

Without humanity’s cooperation,

No spiritual Master will ever be able

To expedite

The evolution of the world. ```

8394

```

God-realisation

And

God-manifestation

Are a two-way street. ```

8395

```

If we do not conquer

Our inner enemies —

Fear, doubt, pride, anxiety

And worry —

Our fastest progress in the spiritual life

Will remain a fruitless dream. ```

8396

```

The human in me

Is responsible

For God the Sorrow.

```

8397

```

The divine in me

Is responsible

For God the Happiness.

```

8398

```

I am giving my Lord

What I have:

My soulfulness-eyes.

```

8399

```

My Lord is giving me

What He is:

His Fulness-Heart.

```

8400

```

May my heart-home

Always remain ignorant of

My world-ignorance-night.

```

8401

```

My Lord comes to me

And tells me

That unless I give Him

My expectation-mind,

He will not give me

His Illumination-Heart. ```

8402

```

My Lord Supreme,

Will You not help me

To become all Yours?

“My child,

What else have I been doing

All the time?” ```

8403

```

Truth can have many faces,

But love has and is

Only one face.

```

8404

```

The hunger of the desiring mind

Leads us

Without.

```

8405

```

The hunger of the aspiring heart

Leads us

Within.

```

8406

```

The hunger of the illumining soul

Leads us

Upward —

High, higher, highest. ```

8407

```

It is always advisable

To meditate

On Whom you love,

Your Beloved Supreme. ```

8408

```

It is always right

To concentrate

On God the Compassion.

```

8409

```

It is always right

To pray

To God the Forgiveness.

```

8410

```

It is always good

To contemplate

On God the Satisfaction.

```

8411

```

My Lord,

May I know who You are?

“My child,

I am the breath of your soul,

I am the heart of your life.”

```

8412

```

Ignorance has no place

Against

My God-oneness-heart.

```

8413

```

God-penalties

Must be cheerfully

And proudly accepted.

```

8414

```

Our repentance-tears

Do not purify

Our mind.

```

8415

```

It is God’s Compassion-Eye

That purifies

Our mind.

```

8416

```

Although I crawl,

Although I fall,

I still feel that one day

I shall meet

The Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

8417

```

Even though we take regular

Aspiration-exercise,

If we do not take regular

Dedication-exercise,

Then how can we expect God to come

And teach us

His Eternity’s Song and Infinity’s Dance?

```

8418

```

God’s Universal Heart-Garden

Has a special place

For my heart’s tiny

Gratitude-seeds. ```

8419

```

Each selfless deed

Of my heart

Is a unique revelation

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

8420

```

When I am in my mind,

I move around

In nothingness-desert.

```

8421

```

When I am in my heart,

I enjoy the beauty

And fragrance

Of my inner fulness-garden. ```

8422

```

God feels miserable

When I tell Him

That I love

Even the undesirable

And unlovable human beings.

For Him, everybody is desirable

And lovable.

```

8423

```

My Lord

Compassionately clasps

My tearful eyes.

```

8424

```

I lovingly and prayerfully clasp

My Lord’s

Forgiveness-Feet.

```

8425

```

We all need

A childlike flower-heart

To melt the Heart

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

8426

```

Alas, I do not know

How I will ever be able

To extend

My narrow mind-horizon. ```

8427

```

The doubting mind

Is too smart to listen

To any divine discourse.

```

8428

```

May a new God-dream

Take birth every day

Inside my aspiration-heart.

```

8429

```

Be wise!

Do not allow at any time

Your outer life-turbulence

To disturb your inner life-poise. ```

8430

```

I give God an iota of gratitude.

God gives me in return

A sky-vast Smile.

```

8431

```

Dissatisfaction

Is bound to befriend

The man who always lives

In the mind. ```

8432

```

God’s Greatness-Laughter

Humiliates

My pride.

```

8433

```

God’s Goodness-Smile

Eliminates

My insecurity.

```

8434

```

My Lord Supreme,

I do not know

How You can turn a deaf ear

All the time

To my heart’s prayerful entreaties.

```

8435

```

The mind-inspiration-certainty

May at times

Dwindle.

```

8436

```

The heart-aspiration-certainty

May at times

Dwindle.

```

8437

```

The soul-realisation of the Supreme

Can never, never

Dwindle.

```

8438

```

I am astonished to measure

The smallness

Of the unaspiring mind.

```

8439

```

No human life

Can indefinitely deny

The divinity of Truth.

```

8440

```

Each time I serve

My Lord Supreme selflessly,

He blesses me with a new

Heart-Illumination-Smile. ```

8441

```

My mind,

You know only

How to talk and boast

And nothing more. ```

8442

```

I literally became ecstatic

The moment I saw my Beloved Lord

Holding His Flute

In His Hands. ```

8443

```

O fear, O overconfidence,

My aspiration-heart

Has no room for you two.

```

8444

```

How can we separate joy

From sorrow

When we see that joy

And sorrow

Love to live together?

```

8445

```

A deceitful gain

Is the very beginning

Of ultimate pain.

```

8446

```

I shall not allow

Either sweet memories

Or sad memories

To disturb

My peace of mind.

```

8447

```

My heart’s soulfulness

Never forgets the bliss

Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

8448

```

Two things I love

Of my Lord Supreme:

His Authority and Supremacy

In my life. ```

8449

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme

Keeps me from falling,

Even though I do not pray

And I do not meditate

Regularly.

```

8450

```

A new Command

From my Lord Supreme:

“My child, do not waste

A fleeting moment.” ```

8451

```

A new Request

From my Lord Supreme:

“My child, it is high time

For you to wake up.” ```

8452

```

God’s Compassion

Has time infinite

To transform

My stone-heart-nature. ```

8453

```

I do not know

How I can expect anything

From God

When I do not have

A God-longing heart.

```

8454

```

My Lord, today I have

A very special prayer.

I need a purity-heart

And sincerity-mind

More than ever.

```

8455

```

God’s hallowed Touch

Has not only

Made my heart pure,

But also made my life perfect. ```

8456

```

My Lord tells me

That the more I am attached

To Him,

The sooner I shall be able

To detach myself

From my earthly bondage-life. ```

8457

```

If it is something spiritual,

Then do not try to acquire it speedily.

Acquire it slowly, steadily

And unerringly. ```

8458

```

Oh, give me a new heart

Totally empty

Of expectation-frustration.

```

8459

```

Oh, give me a new mind

Totally empty

Of curiosity-futility.

```

8460

```

I pass my days

Hoping that God

Will one day fulfil

At least one of my desires. ```

8461

```

God passes His days

Hoping that

At least one day

I will have no desires. ```

8462

```

Our love and devotion

Unmistakably take us

To God.

```

8463

```

To our surrender

God Himself

Comes.

```

8464

```

God tells me that

I am perfect

Only when I live inside

My heart-home. ```

8465

```

My heart shall be supremely satisfied

Only when my Lord’s Compassion

And Affection

Penetrate my entire being. ```

8466

```

My Lord, do strengthen

The determination of my mind

So that I can sincerely search

For You. ```

8467

```

My Lord, do awaken my life

So that I can speedily run

Towards You.

```

8468

```

My Lord, do feed my heart

So that I can manifest Your Light

On earth.

```

8469

```

My Lord,

Will there come a day in my life

When I shall be

A true happiness-satisfaction

To You?

```

8470

```

I love knocking

At my Lord’s

Compassion-Heart-Door.

```

8471

```

God loves knocking

At my

Frustration-mind-door.

```

8472

```

Unconditional surrender

Is nothing short of a goal

That can unmistakably

Be reached. ```

8473

```

Since my Lord Beloved Supreme

Loves my heart blindly,

How is it that my life

Cannot follow Him proudly? ```

8474

```

My mind-cloud is dispelled,

Not by my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye,

But by my Beloved Supreme’s

Forgiveness-Heart.

```

8475

```

My Lord,

I am really tired

Of coming and going.

May I not stay at Your Feet

Forever and forever?

```

8476

```

In everything we do

We must be daring,

Specially in our

Love-devotion-surrender-life. ```

8477

```

My Lord,

Why do I forget

That when I love You,

I get infinitely more from You

Than when I worship You?

```

8478

```

My life’s excruciating pangs begin

When my heart is not in tune

With God’s Heart.

```

8479

```

My Lord, let me swim and swim

In Your

Compassion-Affection-Love-Sea.

```

8480

```

My Lord, in Your absence,

Everything I need.

In Your Presence,

I do not need a single thing,

Either from this world or even from You.

```

8481

```

When my Lord makes fun of me,

It is nothing short of

Sweet torture.

```

8482

```

My Lord,

Only with You in mind

Can I go anywhere I want to.

```

8483

```

He who says he has no time

To meditate

Is, indeed, a self-deceiver.

```

8484

```

Only a seeker knows

How painful it is

To disconnect his heart

From God’s Heart. ```

8485

```

Only when I love God,

I find that I have many good things

Which I never knew.

```

8486

```

My Lord,

My task is to love You only.

Your task is to fulfil Yourself

In Your own Way

In and through me.

```

8487

```

My Lord,

If You really want to satisfy me,

Then do allow me to place Your Feet

Inside my heart. ```

8488

```

If yours is a devotion-occupation,

Then God cannot remain

Away from you.

```

8489

```

You may be physically close

To your Master,

But in your inner life,

You may be millions of miles away. ```

8490

```

He may be far, very far, physically

From his Master,

But in his inner life,

He may be closer than the closest

To his Master.

```

8491

```

Nothing can escape God’s Eye.

This conviction-belief I have

Only when I live inside my heart

And not inside my mind. ```

8492

```

Alas,

Falsehood has the rare capacity

To germinate in every soil.

```

8493

```

Beauty

Is the morning star

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

8494

```

Peace

Is the evening star

Of my surrender-life.

```

8495

```

What is insecurity?

It is something that dampens the joy

Of my heart-garden.

```

8496

```

What is an ignorance-mind?

An ignorance-mind is something

That never accepts defeat

In a noble way. ```

8497

```

God never allows

Any hero-seeker

To enjoy life’s battlefield-retreat.

```

8498

```

My selflessness-hours

Meet with God’s Delight-days

And nights.

```

8499

```

God’s very Presence

Inside my heart

Is my enlightenment-thrill.

```

8500

```

There is no heart-road

That is not paved

With God’s Love-Smile.

```

8501

```

My Lord tells me

That I can sleep,

But I must never allow

My hope to sleep. ```

8502

```

My mind

Constantly looks

For faults in others.

```

8503

```

My heart

Immediately looks

For remedies.

```

8504

```

Peace, light and bliss —

They are infinite because

Their owner, God, is infinite.

```

8505

```

You fool!

God’s Wisdom-Light

Will not give you any chance

To assert your will

Over His Will.

```

8506

```

Even when we do not listen to God,

His Compassion-Heart quite often

Comes to save us.

```

8507

```

When we listen to God,

He gladly becomes fully responsible

For what we do and do not do.

```

8508

```

There is no such thing

As overeating

God’s Nectar-Delight.

```

8509

```

How did he realise God?

He realised God by devouring

God’s Peace, Light and Bliss

In measureless measure. ```

8510

```

O seeker, use the heart,

If you truly long for

Inner progress.

```

8511

```

O seeker, if you use the mind

All the time,

You will be the loser

Both in the inner world of aspiration

And in the outer world of dedication.

```

8512

```

It is quite natural

That the Master will give

Utmost opportunity to close disciples

To swim in the infinite

Ocean-light and delight

Of his heart. ```

8513

```

My Lord, I can clearly see

That You have withdrawn from me.

Will You not grant me

Another chance to please You

In Your own Way?

```

8514

```

God never asks you

And will never ask you

To prove to the world

Your affection and love for Him

By resorting to austerity.

```

8515

```

What you need is illumination,

And this illumination can be found

In God’s sweetest Affection

And Concern for you. ```

8516

```

If you have implicit faith in God,

Then only He will invite you

To come to His Heart-Temple.

```

8517

```

God will bless you

With His own Heart-Shrine

If you support your soul

In every way unconditionally. ```

8518

```

God’s Heart-Palace will always have

Plenty of room to accommodate

All God-seekers of the world.

```

8519

```

A oneness-heart

Is of paramount importance

For the ultimate God-realisation.

```

8520

```

God will never be pleased

If you bury yourself

In the Himalayan caves

For God-realisation

And

God-manifestation.

Those ancient God-practice-days

Are absolutely unnecessary

For today’s man.

```

8521

```

What the modern seeker needs

Is world-acceptance

In and through self-expansion.

```

8522

```

If it is true that your Master

Realised God for himself,

Then it is equally true

That he is manifesting God

For you, only for you.

```

8523

```

For God-realisation,

Your Master meditated

On his heart

Sleeplessly and breathlessly. ```

8524

```

For God-manifestation,

Your Master has included

Each and every human being

To love and serve God. ```

8525

```

When I pray to God,

I pray for the betterment

Of the world.

```

8526

```

When I meditate on God,

I meditate for the fulfilment

Of God.

```

8527

```

Be not afraid

Of the wild world-criticism.

Your God-realisation will never depend

On the world-opinion. ```

8528

```

How stupid I am!

I think the Supreme does not need

More than one flower-plant

In His Heart-Garden.

Needless to say,

That particular plant

Has to be me!

```

8529

```

Each seeker

Is a most beautiful flower

God offers to Mother Earth

From His Heart-Garden. ```

8530

```

Each soulful prayer helps me

To come nearer to God’s

Heart-Home.

```

8531

```

Each fruitful meditation makes me

A most significant member

Of God’s immediate Family.

```

8532

```

God’s Compassion-School

May be for

Our life-entertainment.

```

8533

```

God’s Justice-School

Is definitely for

Our heart-enlightenment.

```

8534

```

My Lord Supreme has made me

Immeasurably happy

By giving me the capacity

To become at once

A God-singer in my outer life

And

A God-lover in my inner life.

```

8535

```

Our spirituality demands

Constant vigilance

And alertness.

The ego-tiger can at any moment

Devour us.

```

8536

```

With an unaspiring mind,

When I go to visit my Master,

It is nothing but a pleasure-trip.

```

8537

```

With an aspiring heart,

When I go to visit my Master,

It is, indeed, a divine pilgrimage.

```

8538

```

Nobody can be a supremely chosen

Child of God

Unless he has a magnanimous heart

And a self-giving life. ```

8539

```

The mind-feeders

Have the capacity

To separate countries.

```

8540

```

The heart-feeders

Have the capacity

To unite not one,

But all countries. ```

8541

```

No soulful song can ever be produced

By the doubting, dividing

And suspecting mind.

```

8542

```

Where do I live

When I do not meditate?

I invariably live inside

My heart-desert. ```

8543

```

Where do I live

When I do not pray?

I unmistakably live inside

My mind-prison. ```

8544

```

May my morning meditation

Be blessed

With God’s torrential Joy.

```

8545

```

May my evening meditation

Be blessed

With God’s deepening Peace.

```

8546

```

O seeker,

Sing God-songs self-givingly.

Immortality will beckon you.

```

8547

```

When we prayerfully and soulfully sing,

We clearly see that God’s Beauty

Is growing very fast

Inside our heart-garden. ```

8548

```

When a seeker sings self-givingly,

He enters into the realm of

The Musical Beyond.

```

8549

```

The inner art is a soulful song.

This song we offer to God,

Both for God-realisation

And God-manifestation. ```

8550

```

Every day

If you sing a devotion-song,

Your God-devotion is bound

To increase. ```

8551

```

We may not be proud of ourselves,

But God definitely is,

For He sees us

With the Eye of His infinite Compassion. ```

8552

```

The Master’s physical presence

You may not feel,

But the Master’s spiritual presence

You are bound to feel

If you can maintain your heart-cry —

Always sincere. ```

8553

```

If you do not have confidence

In your Master,

If you do not have faith

In your Master,

If you do not have an appreciation-mind

And an admiration-heart

For your Master,

I do not know how you will succeed. ```

8554

```

God is very proud of His seeker-children

Who are blooming and blossoming

In accordance with His sweet Will.

```

8555

```

O seeker,

The readiness of your mind,

The eagerness of your heart

And

The willingness of your vital

Will definitely make you

A real spiritual leader

In the course of time. ```

8556

```

Let us pray,

Before it is too late,

For the transformation

Of our nature. ```

8557

```

If you do not inspire others,

If you do not encourage others —

Which is your bounden duty —

How can you expect

Your aspiration-dedication

To give you satisfaction-delight? ```

8558

```

Whenever we fail to please God,

We must make a fresh attempt

Again and again,

Him to please in His own Way. ```

8559

```

Challenge we must

The outer world and the inner world

For our self-transcendence.

```

8560

```

God hopes that soon, very soon,

He will compel us

To finish the race.

```

8561

```

My Lord and I

Are broadcasting each other.

I am saying that because of my Lord,

One day I shall become perfect. ```

8562

```

My Lord says that

Because of me,

He can have another name:

Satisfaction. ```

8563

```

If it is difficult for you

To meditate for long hours,

Then at least try to smile

For a few minutes.

The poison of your mind

Will immediately disappear. ```

8564

```

Self-giving

Is the beginning

Of God-awakening.

```

8565

```

Spirituality —

Conscious God-oneness —

Can solve all the problems

Of humanity. ```

8566

```

Charity can feed

The body

But not the soul.

```

8567

```

Spirituality can feed at once

Both the body

And the soul.

```

8568

```

Wherever there is insecurity,

There will always be an absence

Of God-satisfaction.

```

8569

```

Self-control

Is one of the divine virtues,

But not the only virtue needed

To realise God. ```

8570

```

Constant, sleepless

And breathless God-surrender

Can definitely make us

Realise God. ```

8571

```

My pride tells me

That God is incomplete

Without me.

```

8572

```

My humility tells me

That God does not need me

To complete His Divinity;

His Divinity is only helping me

To complete my life

By becoming one with God

At every moment.

```

8573

```

Be absolutely sure

Whether you have come

Into the world

To fulfil your Master’s needs

Or to feed your ego

In a secret way. ```

8574

```

The inner courage

Is absolutely necessary

To be on any spiritual path.

```

8575

```

Wisdom

Is oneness-establishment

In action and in speech.

```

8576

```

For the needy,

God will present Himself

Here, there and all-where.

```

8577

```

The best progress

Man can ever make

Is through the feeling

Of a oneness-world. ```

8578

```

The human love

Can at times

Be dangerous.

```

8579

```

The divine love

Is always gracious, precious

And God-glorious.

```

8580

```

May my heart’s gratitude,

May my life’s perfection

And

May my Lord’s Satisfaction

Always remain together.

```

8581

```

Where is perfection?

Perfection is in my heart’s

God-growing and God-glowing

Devotion. ```

8582

```

My life’s perfection

Is founded upon

My conscious surrender

To God’s Will. ```

8583

```

The beauty of my perfection-aspiration

Solely derives from

God’s Satisfaction in me.

```

8584

```

My self-transcending perfection

Is

God’s all-smiling Satisfaction.

```

8585

```

God draws us to His Feet

Only by exercising the power

Of His perfect Satisfaction in us.

```

8586

```

My inner faith

Does not depend upon

My outer experiences.

```

8587

```

My inner faith depends upon

My cheerful self-giving

To God’s Will.

```

8588

```

The stronger

The inner revolution,

The purer

The outer revelation. ```

8589

```

My Beloved Supreme,

I really do not want You

To tell me a lie.

My gratitude-heart

Will never be equal

To Your Compassion-Eye. ```

8590

```

God is responsible

For my life —

This can be true only when

I am my all-surrender-life

To my Lord Supreme.

```

8591

```

No spiritual problem

Can ever be solved

By the intelligence

Of the human mind. ```

8592

```

My Lord, You have protected me

Against many things.

I would like You to protect me

From one thing more:

My negativity-mind.

```

8593

```

My world-acceptance

Is the beginning of

My life-perfection.

```

8594

```

When I make a mistake,

God gives me another chance

To be perfect.

```

8595

```

When I criticise my fellow citizens,

Even God’s Compassion-Eye

Withdraws from me.

```

8596

```

The more we can love

God the creation,

The nearer we shall feel

The Presence

Of God the Satisfaction.

```

8597

```

I have not come into the world

To know my life

Beyond birth and death.

```

8598

```

I have come into the world

To offer the beauty of birth

And the peace of death.

```

8599

```

Our love of God-Silence

Entirely depends on our receptivity

To God-Smile.

```

8600

```

Everything you can get

In the world of silence,

But for that you need one thing:

Receptivity

In measureless measure.

```

8601

```

My Lord,

May we both have always

Attentive ears

To our pitiful cries. ```

8602

```

My Lord,

You have chosen me

With Your unfailing Love.

Therefore, how can I ever fail You? ```

8603

```

We shall have to long for God

At every moment,

Not only in the darkness of night.

```

8604

```

When I look through

My Lord’s Eyes,

Everything is growing,

Everyone is progressing. ```

8605

```

My Lord,

How can I ever love You enough?

“My child,

You can love Me enough

By repeating every morning:

‘Today I shall love my Lord

Infinitely more

Than I loved Him yesterday’.” ```

8606

```

When I most sincerely pray

And meditate,

My Lord blesses me

With a security-life

And a confidence-heart.

```

8607

```

I make deplorable mistakes

Only when I am not afraid of losing

My Lord Supreme.

```

8608

```

If anything is divine,

Then that very thing

Has to unite us

With our Lord Supreme. ```

8609

```

Is there anybody in this world

Who is not stunned

By life’s unexpected blows?

```

8610

```

We must realise that in life

Nothing starts in vain

And nothing ends in vain.

```

8611

```

We are happy

When we consider ourselves

As pilgrims on earth.

We are miserable

When we consider ourselves

As strangers and foreigners on earth. ```

8612

```

The more I liberate myself

From this world,

The more I get the opportunity

To bind myself

To my Lord Supreme.

```

8613

```

When I pray,

I sow the seeds of love and devotion

In my heart-garden.

When I meditate and contemplate,

I reap the harvest.

```

8614

```

The God-searching mind

Does have the capacity

To soar towards God.

```

8615

```

In this world,

Everything is deceptive —

Even the happiness that we run after.

```

8616

```

I shall be happy, my Lord,

Only when my entire being

Develops the capacity

To fly towards You. ```

8617

```

When I tell my Lord

That I have been waiting for Him

For a long time,

My Lord makes fun of me.

He tells me,

“My child,

Since you have been waiting

For a long time,

You can wait a little longer.

Let My Hour strike.” ```

8618

```

In the inner world,

Unlike the outer world,

We do not lose anyone

If we sincerely love. ```

8619

```

Surrender, O my mind, surrender.

The Delight of Heaven shall claim you

As its very own.

```

8620

```

If we do not have

A burning aspiration

For our Lord Supreme,

Then naturally our progress

Will be slower than the slowest.

```

8621

```

O my unwillingness-mind,

You will suffer the greatest loss

In the long run.

```

8622

```

A constantly thinking mind

Will always have

A fruitless journey.

```

8623

```

May my determination-mind

Keep me always away from

Stark ignorance-danger.

```

8624

```

Everything dies, everybody dies.

How is it that my mind’s desires

Do not die?

```

8625

```

There is only one pilgrimage,

And that pilgrimage

Is our return-pilgrimage to God.

```

8626

```

When it is a matter of stop signs

On my way to God’s Palace,

I shall never obey.

```

8627

```

The more I know,

The less I am eager

To be proud of myself.

```

8628

```

My worries and anxieties cease

Only when my heart lives

In the heart of peace.

```

8629

```

Each thought is a bird that flies

Either in the confusion-mind-sky

Or in the illumination-heart-sky.

```

8630

```

When I pray and meditate,

God smiles and dances,

But He prefers to remain unseen.

```

8631

```

My Lord,

If You truly love me —

Which You always say —

Then smash all my pride

All at once.

```

8632

```

My Lord,

If You have true concern for me —

Which You always profess —

Then do sow humility-seeds

In my heart-garden immediately.

```

8633

```

Time does not want to wait for us,

Therefore, our Lord Beloved Supreme

Is sleeplessly beckoning us.

```

8634

```

May every day

A new hope-flower blossom

In my heart-garden.

```

8635

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity to have

A perennial gratitude-flower

In my heart-garden. ```

8636

```

Happiness

Is extremely proud of living inside

Divine thoughts.

```

8637

```

When I serve my Lord Supreme,

My soul gives me the salary,

Which comes directly from God

In the form of Light and Delight. ```

8638

```

If you cannot stop desiring,

Then once and for all

Desire God

And see what happens. ```

8639

```

My Lord, I beg of You

To spread Your divine Net

To catch my uncomely thoughts.

```

8640

```

Do you know

Who pulls me down?

The ignorance-lover in me.

```

8641

```

Quite often we consciously invite

Hostile forces,

Although we tell the world

They attacked us unexpectedly. ```

8642

```

I want to go to God,

But who holds me back?

My God-fearing mind.

```

8643

```

O my doubting mind,

Everyone wants to enjoy

A long vacation.

How is it that you do not care

To do the same?

```

8644

```

There is only one death

In the spiritual life,

And that death is

Aspiration-famine. ```

8645

```

My Lord Supreme,

Please do not allow me to forget

That it is I

Who am afraid of entering into

Your ever-protecting Compassion-Cage.

```

8646

```

Without the heart’s

Soulful tears,

There can be no real meditation.

```

8647

```

A true seeker

Is he who smiles

When his heart pines

For God. ```

8648

```

When I cry,

My Lord shows me

The Way.

```

8649

```

When I smile,

My Lord becomes

Both the Way and the Goal.

```

8650

```

God reminds me every day

To remain farther than the farthest

From my mind’s doubt-zone.

```

8651

```

If we love God,

Then God will supply us

With extra time to do all the things

That we are supposed to do. ```

8652

```

May each citizen of the world

Enjoy the touch of God’s Feet

The way each and every soul enjoys.

```

8653

```

The beauty of love

And the fragrance of loveliness

Are twin sisters.

```

8654

```

I call it pain,

But my Lord calls it

By a different name:

An angel, His own angel. ```

8655

```

My Lord does not want me to understand

The heart of oneness,

But to become and to remain

The heart of oneness. ```

8656

```

My Lord repeatedly asks me

To love the silence of my heart

And not the freedom of my mind.

```

8657

```

My Lord,

This time when I come to You,

Will You give me a totally new gift?

“Yes, My child,

This time I shall give you

My Heart’s golden Sky

For you to enjoy your soul’s flight.” ```

8658

```

My Lord,

Do You mind when I think of

Buying You?

“No, My child, on the contrary,

I have been telling you

That you can buy Me easily —

Just for a smile.” ```

8659

```

When I dive deep within

By virtue of my meditation,

I enjoy the fragrance

Of my gratitude-heart-blossoms. ```

8660

```

When my Lord visits

My heart-home,

He carries with Him

Thousands of His Heart’s Smiles. ```

8661

```

Never stop, never!

Carry on with your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life.

Destined is your Goal. ```

8662

```

There is only one way

To lift the world,

And that way is love, abundant love,

Ever-increasing love

And Infinity-Immortality’s Love.

```

8663

```

My Lord,

Do tell me what I should do

To please the world.

“My child,

Every day greet the world

With a blossoming smile

From your heart.” ```

8664

```

My Lord,

When I come to You,

Will You allow me to meet You

At Your Feet

And not in Your Eye?

```

8665

```

When I enter into my Lord’s Heart,

He asks me to sing my heart-songs —

As many as possible.

```

8666

```

When my Lord enters into my heart,

He commands me

To remain absolutely silent,

For He wants to create a new creation

Inside my heart.

```

8667

```

My Lord, if I give You

My heart’s pure devotion,

What will You give me

In return?

“My child, I shall immediately give you

The beauty and the fragrance

Of My Heart-Garden.”

```

8668

```

Each soulful smile of my heart

Plays the role

Of a chosen instrument

Of God. ```

8669

```

May my daily life

Be the purity

Of my heart-shrine.

```

8670

```

Like my soul,

May my heart be self-giving

In God-satisfaction-service.

```

8671

```

Alas, when shall I realise

That each unaspiring thought

Of my mind

Is the slow descent of my life? ```

8672

```

God wants me to imagine

At every moment

That my self-discovery

Is within my reach. ```

8673

```

My gratitude-heart

Is the Satisfaction-Pride

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

8674

```

How do I know what is truth

And what is falsehood?

My heart-teacher secretly tells me.

```

8675

```

The mind is totally ignorant

Of the heart’s secret

And sacred eye.

```

8676

```

A God-searching mind

Gladly follows

A God-loving heart.

```

8677

```

If you are

A supremely choice instrument

Of God,

Then you will never run short of

Readiness, willingness

And eagerness. ```

8678

```

What is self-giving?

Self-giving is, indeed,

Ecstasy-sea.

```

8679

```

If we can go beyond the mind’s

Preconceived ideas,

Then we can climb up

Loftier than the loftiest heights. ```

8680

```

Develop dynamism

Within and without.

Your age-old depression

Will nowhere be found. ```

8681

```

May my heart’s newness-joy

And my heart’s fulness-satisfaction

Remain inseparable friends.

```

8682

```

O my mind,

God never wants you

To attend ignorance-discourses.

```

8683

```

If we can somehow carry

Our daily activities

Far beyond the domain

Of the mind,

Then we shall become

Our outer success-life

And

Our inner progress-heart. ```

8684

```

No matter how short or how long

We want to walk along

God’s Road,

We needs must have

Willingness-feet.

```

8685

```

If you do not practise

Your heart-songs,

Your life will become

A true spiritual failure. ```

8686

```

I do not know why I am so stupid

That I memorise

Ignorance-teacher-lectures.

```

8687

```

The life of discipline only

Can experience

Freedom-light.

```

8688

```

Every day I am trying to go beyond

My self-taught

And self-indulgent limitations.

```

8689

```

Every morning

I pave my heart-path

With love-devotion-surrender-petals.

```

8690

```

Enthusiasm has to activate

Every part of our life

To manifest

God’s Light on earth

Swiftly and unmistakably.

```

8691

```

My Lord

Is my Lord’s

Heart-Fragrance-Sweetness.

```

8692

```

I am

My heart’s

Soul-beauty-tears.

```

8693

```

In vain, my heart every day

Begs my mind to join

The God-Light-manifestation-team.

```

8694

```

The mind’s determination

And the heart’s cheerfulness

Are always feeding and nourishing

Each other. ```

8695

```

When I offer my Lord

My sleepless heart-tears,

He blesses my heart

With His Rainbow-Smile

And His Rainbow-Delight.

```

8696

```

When I live a surrender-life,

My earth-existence becomes

Most inspiring

And most encouraging. ```

8697

```

When every second of our life

Tends towards meditation,

God-Satisfaction beckons us.

```

8698

```

If you are hankering after

Name and fame,

How can your soul ever radiate

God’s all-illumining Light? ```

8699

```

The doubting mind speaks

To the doubting mind.

The aspiring heart speaks

To the aspiring heart.

The self-giving life speaks

To the self-giving life.

God the Speaker speaks

To God the Listener. ```

8700

```

He who has fear of failure,

Failure will inevitably devour —

His heart, mind, vital

And body. ```

8701

```

Look far beyond your puny self!

God the infinite Light and Delight

Is eagerly waiting for you.

```

8702

```

Depression is immediate subtraction

Of our inner light

From the Transcendental Source.

```

8703

```

Life’s surrender

And the heart’s happiness

Are always interchangeable.

```

8704

```

I call it my silence-heart.

God calls it His heart-to-heart

Dialogue with me.

```

8705

```

Every day

I give my tearful heart-awakening

To my Lord Supreme.

```

8706

```

Not our mind,

But when our heart nears God,

It immediately unmasks itself.

```

8707

```

The meaning of Tomorrow

Is Eternity.

Therefore, here and now

I must accomplish

Everything.

```

8708

```

Quality-choice

And quantity-voice

Must go together in my life.

```

8709

```

The higher you go,

The clearer it becomes

That everything is predestined.

```

8710

```

If you want to succeed

In your outer life,

Then keep moving.

```

8711

```

If you want to proceed

In your inner life,

Then remain absolutely still —

Motionless. ```

8712

```

God-fulfilling opportunities

God Himself creates

For the sincere seekers.

```

8713

```

My heart has only one question

For me:

“Have you seen the Feet

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme?” ```

8714

```

I have only one question

For my mind:

“O my mind,

When are you going to run

Towards God,

When?” ```

8715

```

My Lord, I do not need

Constant opportunity.

What I need is

Constant willingness

From within.

```

8716

```

Silence strengthens

And enlightens

My aspiring heart.

```

8717

```

Silence awakens

And tames

My unaspiring mind.

```

8718

```

Silence cautions

And intimidates

My strangling vital.

```

8719

```

Silence commands

And strikes

My sleeping body.

```

8720

```

A suspicion-mind

Is apt to do mischief

All the time.

```

8721

```

Every day

My Lord works so hard

In training my mind

To smile at Him. ```

8722

```

If you do not expect,

You are, indeed,

A wise seeker.

```

8723

```

If you give more,

Infinitely more,

With no expectation,

Then God-satisfaction

Is blossoming

Inside your heart. ```

8724

```

The outer life

Runs after

Sound-power.

```

8725

```

The inner life

Runs after

Silence-bliss.

```

8726

```

If you are a true seeker,

Then you are bound to feel

That God

Can never be indifferent

To you.

```

8727

```

If I am a genuine God-lover,

Then I must be satisfied

In His incognito living.

```

8728

```

God does not have to convince us

Of anything He does or does not do.

It is we who have to convince ourselves

That He is all-loving and all-giving. ```

8729

```

The silence of the mind

Is, indeed,

Freedom from life-imprisonment.

```

8730

```

No matter how difficult it is,

I shall definitely go and visit

The dwelling of my soul.

```

8731

```

The outer eyesight

Can never read

The inner message.

```

8732

```

Each time a God-surrendering thought

Comes into my mind,

My Lord Supreme weeps

Tears of Delight. ```

8733

```

God the man

Is

Our strict teacher.

```

8734

```

Man the God

Is

Our secret Tutor.

```

8735

```

God the man

Tells us not to embark

On the Journey

If we are not well prepared. ```

8736

```

Man the God

Advises us to embark

On the Journey.

Preparation will come on its own

Along the way.

```

8737

```

God the man

Tells us

How far the Golden Shore is.

```

8738

```

Man the God

Not only supplies us

With the Boat,

But also becomes the Boatman. ```

8739

```

God the man

Demands

Constant fitness —

Inner and outer. ```

8740

```

Man the God

Whispers:

Readiness, willingness

And eagerness. ```

8741

```

God the man

Tells us

That only the brave

Can arrive at

The Ultimate Goal.

```

8742

```

Man the God

Tells us

That whoever is chosen

Is destined to arrive at

The Ultimate Goal.

```

8743

```

God the man

Determines

All our actions.

```

8744

```

Man the God

Refines

All our actions.

```

8745

```

God the man

Gives us

World-detachment-incantation.

```

8746

```

Man the God

Gives us

World-enlightenment-incantation.

```

8747

```

I am always afraid

Of nearing

God the man.

```

8748

```

I am always fond

Of swimming

With man the God.

```

8749

```

My ego is at once

My mind-rapture

And my heart-torture.

```

8750

```

My Lord Supreme,

Every morning do allow me

To place at Your Feet

A garland made out of

My gratitude-heartbeats.

```

8751

```

When I am in my mind,

My God-exasperation

Bombards.

```

8752

```

When I am in my heart,

My God-satisfaction

Reigns.

```

8753

```

Can you imagine that

God the Compassion-Ocean

Tells the whole world

That I deserve all the credit

For my God-realisation!

```

8754

```

My mind, I warn you!

Do not make faces

When my Beloved Supreme

Embraces my heart. ```

8755

```

My mind never agrees

With my heart

When my heart says

That to love God

Is to grow into God.

```

8756

```

Any thought transcendental

Automatically becomes

Indomitable.

```

8757

```

If there is no

Life-awakening,

There can be no

Heart-gratitude. ```

8758

```

Charity is laudable,

But to say charity can solve

Humanity’s poverty-problem

Is absurdity. ```

8759

```

My world-service-determination

And

My mind-transformation-satisfaction

Go together. ```

8760

```

There can be nothing

As cruel

As indifference.

```

8761

```

A compassion-flooded Master’s anger

Is not real

And can never be real.

```

8762

```

If we want to please

Our Lord Supreme,

Then we must try to cure

This eternally sick world. ```

8763

```

The more sincere you are

In loving God,

The clearer you are becoming

The real God-man. ```

8764

```

At times

The mind-revolution

Is absolutely needed.

```

8765

```

The revelation of the heart

And

The manifestation of life

Are always needed. ```

8766

```

No matter how sincere and pure

My gratitude is,

It can never be worthy

Of my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye.

```

8767

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

If You really love me,

Then You will not wait

For a fleeting moment

To steal

My ever-torturing little ‘i’. ```

8768

```

God always loves us,

But He loves us infinitely more

When we speak to Him

In the interest of our fellow beings. ```

8769

```

It is the insecurity-mind

And not the purity-heart

That is terribly afraid of

Eternity, Infinity and Immortality. ```

8770

```

When the mind-understanding ends,

The heart-faith triumphantly starts

Its journey.

```

8771

```

Oneness must always

Be encouraged

For its unfailing continuation.

```

8772

```

The heart’s oneness

And

The life’s fulness

Secretly try

To illumine the mind.

But alas, they sadly fail! ```

8773

```

O separation-mind,

Be wise!

Immediately start longing for the One,

Searching for the One

And

Crying for the One Absolute. ```

8774

```

If the mind really loves God,

Then the life can never be

Afraid of God.

```

8775

```

The heart can easily love God,

But the mind can be

Deplorably afraid of God.

```

8776

```

A life of service

Is the most beautiful spark

Of the mind’s

Transformation-fire. ```

8777

```

The mind that knows

No oneness

Can never be accepted

By peace. ```

8778

```

Judgement does not have

The capacity

To give us true happiness,

But illumination does have

The capacity.

```

8779

```

God has repeatedly asked me

To transform my desire-life

Into my aspiration-heart.

```

8780

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Has two most beautiful

And powerful wings.

Every day they fly towards me. ```

8781

```

Silence has energy.

Silence has strength.

Silence is a God-fulfilment-promise.

```

8782

```

If God can be always satisfied with me,

What is wrong with me

That I am satisfied with Him

Only on rare occasions? ```

8783

```

O vastness-sky,

Why, why are you hiding

My Lord Beloved Supreme?

```

8784

```

O God-Message-carrier-air,

I cannot believe

That you do not have

A special Message for me

From my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

8785

```

The mind longs for

An opportunity-companion.

The heart longs for

A duty-fulfilment-companion. ```

8786

```

I look for

A God-satisfaction-enjoyer

In God’s own Way.

```

8787

```

God has given some choice souls

A special capacity

To enjoy the beauty and fragrance

Of Paradise

Even while they are on their way

To Paradise. ```

8788

```

Of all the troublemakers,

A suspicion-mind

Has no equal.

```

8789

```

Infinite patience we need

Either to illumine or to erase

The imperfections

Of our life. ```

8790

```

O my mind,

Do you know that

Non-attachment-songs

Are all-fulfilling realities? ```

8791

```

Without God-identification,

No virtue

Is worth having.

```

8792

```

Out of His unconditional

And infinite Bounty,

God has given me

His Victory-Satisfaction-Kite

To fly.

```

8793

```

My Lord,

You have given me

A purity-heart.

Can You not bless me

With a sincerity-mind as well?

```

8794

```

Whenever I look at

My aspiration-heart,

I see the blossoming

Of a new God-dream. ```

8795

```

If we face bravely

All our problems,

Then God appears before us

With His

Sweetness-Heart-Embrace.

```

8796

```

Always vote for

The divine in you

If satisfaction

Is what you actually need. ```

8797

```

Alas,

I do not know the difference

Between my prayers and sighs.

```

8798

```

Our soul’s divinity-train stops

At three specific stations:

Love, devotion, surrender.

```

8799

```

We break God’s Heart

When we offer Him

The helpless tears

Of our sorrow-flooded hearts. ```

8800

```

Humility

Is a most powerful magnet

To draw God’s

Immediate Grace. ```

8801

```

Our implicit faith in God

Will always remain inundated

With God’s blessingful

Joy and Pride. ```

8802

```

Every morning

My heart-lotus blooms,

And every evening

My heart-lotus blossoms.

Alas, my unlit mind

Fails to recognise the bloom

And the blossom.

```

8803

```

There is no human way

That will not complicatedly bind

Our heart-breath.

```

8804

```

If you even hear

Your Master’s footfall,

You are bound to be transported

Into ecstasy-kingdom. ```

8805

```

My prayers want to enter

Into the beauty

Of the limitless skies.

```

8806

```

My meditations want to sing and dance

With the waves

Of a shoreless ocean.

```

8807

```

May my aspiration-heart

At every moment

Try to amplify my Lord’s

Nectar-Message. ```

8808

```

True, there are many ways

To please God.

My way is to consciously aspire

To become a tiny speck

Of the dust of His Feet.

```

8809

```

My soul gives to my heart

What it has:

Illumination.

```

8810

```

My heart gives to my soul

What it has:

Affection.

```

8811

```

Patience always adds

To our inner and outer

Divine capacities.

```

8812

```

How I wish my life and I

Could utilise wisely

Every God-given opportunity.

```

8813

```

It is our stupidity-mind

That makes fun of

Our purity-heart.

```

8814

```

My Lord,

When You scold me ruthlessly,

My heart feels

That You are praising

My inner potential highly.

```

8815

```

The futile frustration

Of the mind

And the baseless fears

Of the vital

Are intimate friends.

```

8816

```

Alas, why should I be sad

When people criticise me,

When I know that my Beloved Lord

Has no lack of critics? ```

8817

```

I must accomplish

In this lifetime

My God-satisfaction-mission.

```

8818

```

May my heart

Always remain famished

For spiritual, God-intoxicating

Nourishment. ```

8819

```

May my searching mind

Be a devoted

God-newness-lover.

```

8820

```

He who outwardly makes friends

With inertia

Unconsciously makes friends

With self-destruction. ```

8821

```

The human ego

Is either marked for illumination

Or for demolition.

```

8822

```

My sole task

Is to be in the company of

My soul-illumination

And to keep away from

My mind-confusion.

```

8823

```

Every day

My Lord Supreme is an ever-new

Compassion-Bestower.

```

8824

```

Alas, the moment my mind

Is not alert,

My entire being is assailed

By undivine forces. ```

8825

```

O my doubting mind,

I warn you,

You will be demoted

To nothingness-cipher

Before long.

```

8826

```

My Lord asks my heart

To sing once more

And my heart asks God

To forgive once more. ```

8827

```

God is so kind to me.

He has a very special Affection

And Concern

For my heart-land. ```

8828

```

Our inner journey

Is the beginning

Of our God-discovery.

```

8829

```

My Lord, You knew

That I was wandering

In my mind-forest.

Where was Your Concern

For me, where?

“My child,

My immediate Advice to you

Is to have a new heart,

A heart of oneness-love,

To replace your stone-heart.”

```

8830

```

God the Compassion

Self-givingly acts. ```

8831

```

God the Concern

Eagerly observes. ```

8832

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Why are You

So pitifully sighing?

“My child,

Why are you deliberately forgetting

The supreme art

Of aspiration-blooming?” ```

8833

```

Who is my ego-transformer?

My ego-transformer

Is the unconditional God-lover in me.

```

8834

```

Spirituality

Empty of humility

Is no spirituality.

```

8835

```

The mind’s disobedience

Is bound to be followed

By the heart’s regret.

```

8836

```

The outer sincerity

Is a difficult task indeed.

The inner sincerity

Is infinitely more difficult. ```

8837

```

To have confidence in one’s own life

All the time

Is the mightiest obstacle.

```

8838

```

Persistent unwillingness

Will end in

A spiritual crisis.

```

8839

```

Ignorance-night is always ready

To fight against the faith

Of the seeker’s heart.

```

8840

```

Each divine thought

Paves the road

To the soul’s infinite bliss.

```

8841

```

When I meditate

Prayerfully and soulfully,

My Lord Supreme brings down

The melody of delight. ```

8842

```

May my inner life

Be blessed

With gratitude-fountain-tears.

```

8843

```

I owe everything

To my heart’s devotion-tears

And

My life’s surrender-smiles

For the fastest progress

That I have made in my spiritual life. ```

8844

```

A greatness-mind

May not find peace

At all.

```

8845

```

A goodness-heart

May not find peace

All the time.

```

8846

```

A oneness-life

Is bound to have peace,

Both in the inner world

And in the outer world,

All the time.

```

8847

```

Where does the human mind live?

It lives in

The separativity-mind-territory.

```

8848

```

The surrender of the heart

Is the nectar-drink

Of life.

```

8849

```

When my life becomes

A song of surrender,

I run faster than the fastest

With God-pleasing strides. ```

8850

```

Within,

Unwillingness-clouds.

Without,

Heavy misfortune-downpour! ```

8851

```

May my heart every day

Rise to a new aspiration

And not to a new expectation.

```

8852

```

Each time I pray to God

Soulfully,

He blesses my life

With a satisfaction-smile. ```

8853

```

May my heart at every moment cry

And champion the cause

Of God’s Victory.

```

8854

```

O my mind, rest assured,

One day you will be forced to see

The eternal sunset

Of your pride. ```

8855

```

When the heart comes

To embrace the mind,

The mind responds with

Lukewarm greetings. ```

8856

```

Ego parades

And becomes the laughing-stock

Of humanity.

```

8857

```

Humility scales

And becomes the admiration

Of humanity.

```

8858

```

Each and every aspiration-mountain

Embodies

A God-Satisfaction-nest.

```

8859

```

God’s Hope, God’s Love

And God’s Promise

Blossom only when I live peacefully

Inside my heart-temple. ```

8860

```

My Lord, do give me the capacity

Every day

To go forward with my life’s

Progress-promise-determination. ```

8861

```

May my God-aspiration

Grow into

My God-manifestation-reality.

```

8862

```

Nobody can be

A perfection-dreamer

Without being

An aspiration-lover first. ```

8863

```

O my stupidity-mind,

Why do you lament

Over your ego-loss?

```

8864

```

My mind is still undecided

About God’s

Living authenticity.

```

8865

```

Your God-longing will slowly,

Steadily and unmistakably

Illumine

All your wrongdoings. ```

8866

```

A gratitude-heart-song

Goes

A very long way.

```

8867

```

If we forget God today,

There is every likelihood

That God will forget us,

Not only tomorrow,

But the day after.

```

8868

```

A true seeker is never tired

Of hearing God’s constant

Strict Messages.

```

8869

```

If the mind becomes unruly,

How can the heart have

Even an iota of peace?

```

8870

```

Do not edit

Your soul’s messages.

They are written

By God Himself. ```

8871

```

World-doubt and world-jealousy

Enjoy living together

Inside the mind-prison.

```

8872

```

My joy knows no bounds

That my heart and my soul

Are taking turns

To illumine my doubting mind. ```

8873

```

The day I do not aspire,

I am unmistakably assailed

By unfriendly

And uncomely thoughts. ```

8874

```

Every day I confront

The expectation-army

With my soul’s adamantine will.

```

8875

```

My Lord Supreme begs me

Every day

To read at least one book

From His Compassion-flooded

Heart-Library.

```

8876

```

At every moment

We must defy and deny

Doubt-entrance

At our heart-door. ```

8877

```

My Lord does not want me

To leave anybody,

But to carry everybody with me

When I long to arrive

At His Door.

```

8878

```

My Lord tells me

That I must never, never undermine

The power of my soul’s love

For my heart. ```

8879

```

God does not want me to cry.

He does not want me to weep.

Definitely He does not want me

To wear out my heart.

He just wants me to love Him more

In His own Way. ```

8880

```

My Lord Supreme,

You say that You love me dearly.

Do prove it by smiling at me

Once a week at least! ```

8881

```

Where does my heart live?

My heart lives under the canopy

Of my soul-bird’s outstretched wings.

```

8882

```

My Lord Supreme,

May the memory

Of Your Heart-Fragrance

Cling to my gratitude-heart

Forever and forever.

```

8883

```

My Lord, may Your Smile

Be my only companion

Along Eternity’s Road.

```

8884

```

Our heart-tears

Are bound to be answered

By our Lord Himself.

```

8885

```

The beauty of the stars

Pales before the fragrance

Of God-realisation.

```

8886

```

My Lord,

Why do You not tell me

Even once

What You actually want from me?

“My child,

I need only, only, only

A self-giving life from you.”

```

8887

```

My heart’s inner peace

Has stopped

My outer desire-hunger.

```

8888

```

Appreciation

Feeds

My praise-hungry mind.

```

8889

```

Admiration

Feeds

My supremacy-hungry vital.

```

8890

```

Adoration

Feeds

My crown-throne-hungry life.

```

8891

```

Oneness

Feeds

My God-hungry heart.

```

8892

```

O my mind,

How stupid you are

That you do not take shelter

In God’s Fulness-Heart-Nest. ```

8893

```

Quickly up it goes —

The greatness

Of the mind.

```

8894

```

Suddenly down it falls —

The greatness

Of the mind.

```

8895

```

The goodness of the heart

Only goes up high, higher, highest.

It is, indeed, a one-way street.

```

8896

```

My mind, be not miserable

All the time.

Do a little bit of self-offering.

Immediately

Happiness will beckon you.

```

8897

```

You will never be able

To succeed in your outer life

And

Proceed in your inner life

If you do not dare to look

Far above your own

Earth-bound height.

```

8898

```

The Master can clear the way

For you,

Not only from time to time,

But every day.

But it is you who have to develop

The hunger

To walk, run and sprint

Along that special way. ```

8899

```

The acceptance of obedience

Is difficult

For the greatness-mind.

```

8900

```

The acceptance of obedience

Is easier than the easiest

For the goodness-heart.

```

8901

```

My Lord,

I may not be Your dearest child.

Even then, can You not show me

The shortest road? ```

8902

```

I may not have faith in God.

So what?

As long as God has faith in me,

I shall definitely be saved

And illumined.

```

8903

```

My Lord,

Do You not see that

Your Visits are so infrequent,

And what is more painful,

They are fleeting?

```

8904

```

My Lord,

I know that I love You,

But I shall never dare

To claim You.

But once I touch Your Feet,

I shall never allow You

To send me back.

```

8905

```

May my aspiration-heart

Be as sleepless and breathless

As my desire-mind is.

```

8906

```

Believe it or not,

God is afraid of

My sadness-mind.

```

8907

```

God has no fear of

My happiness-heart.

Therefore, God lives inside

My happiness-heart bravely. ```

8908

```

My heart is absolutely sure

That nothing can eclipse my heart,

As long as my heart is all gratitude

To my Lord Supreme. ```

8909

```

God is the only one

Who is always eager

To be the slave

Of my life. ```

8910

```

O my Lord of Compassion,

Do not even imagine leaving me.

If You leave me,

My soul, my heart and I

Shall immediately collapse.

```

8911

```

My Lord,

I shall keep calling You

Again and again,

Even if You do not care to answer

My Compassion-hunger-call.

```

8912

```

My Lord really loves me.

Therefore, He never fulfils

My desires and demands.

```

8913

```

My Lord,

Let us be together

And forget all our worries.

Let the worries take care of

Themselves.

```

8914

```

If our happiness

Is not mutual,

It is meaningless

And worthless. ```

8915

```

My Lord,

Your Advice always rings true

Inside my heart,

Whether I accept it or not. ```

8916

```

My Lord,

Do tell me the secret of secrets —

How my company will be enjoyed

By You. ```

8917

```

My Lord,

Do come to me if You so desire,

Not because You are bound to fulfil

My absurd demands. ```

8918

```

As a demanding seeker,

I played my role quite powerfully.

My Lord,

Now as a loving and surrendering soul,

I will be successful in my new role.

```

8919

```

When my mind does not listen

To my heart,

I become a real victim

To despair-night. ```

8920

```

An iota of God’s Concern

Can illumine my mind,

Save my heart

And

Fulfil my life.

```

8921

```

When am I a total failure?

I am a total failure

Only when I get God

On my own terms. ```

8922

```

My Lord,

Days are passing into weeks,

Weeks into months, months into years.

I have been sitting all alone

At my heart-window,

Watching for Your Arrival. ```

8923

```

My God-Arrival-expectation

Is not only destroying my sleep,

But also delaying

My God-realisation-achievement. ```

8924

```

My Lord tells me that

I deserve no explanation

Why He has banished me

From His Palace. ```

8925

```

O my mind,

How is it that I do not feel

That you have experienced

The heart of joy? ```

8926

```

When my Lord makes fun

Of my stupidity,

I immediately enjoy

His sweet torture. ```

8927

```

The worst punishment

That a seeker receives

From his Master

Is his Master’s indifference to him. ```

8928

```

The true religion

Is nothing short of

God-union.

```

8929

```

My Lord, I am lame.

Do not wait for me.

Please take those

Who have the capacity

To run the fastest to their Destination.

```

8930

```

Spiritual arrogance

Is infinitely worse

Than any other arrogance.

```

8931

```

O seeker, do not go back

To enjoy ignorance-sleep.

Our Beloved Lord

Is fast approaching you. ```

8932

```

You have gone away from God’s Feet

Foolishly,

But at least try to return

Wisely. ```

8933

```

My Lord’s

Compassion-Light-Kingdom

Is my only heart-home.

```

8934

```

Once you enter into the spiritual life,

Be careful!

You are not entitled

To while away your time. ```

8935

```

If you do not become

A non-attachment-mind,

Then your life-enlightenment

Will never take place. ```

8936

```

O seeker, do not forget

That your mind-disobedience

Is nothing short of

Your future heart-torment. ```

8937

```

A God-surrender-life

Is beyond the clasp

Of earthly tears and smiles.

```

8938

```

Those who live only in the mind

Have a tendency to thwart

The progress of others.

```

8939

```

Non-attachment

Is the beauty and divinity

Of enlightenment.

```

8940

```

The inner divinity

Cannot come to the fore

If you are always engrossed

In the externals. ```

8941

```

Mine is a God-surrender-breath

To please God at every moment

In His own Way.

```

8942

```

The heart of a true seeker

Enjoys the tears

Of purest joy.

```

8943

```

My Lord,

I need Your constant help.

Do carry me everywhere

In Your Arms. ```

8944

```

As long as my Lord Supreme

Cares for me,

What does it matter

If I fall again and again? ```

8945

```

A divine friend

Is the choicest joy

Of humankind.

```

8946

```

I do not want to be

A God-Satisfaction-seeker

By halves.

```

8947

```

My Lord,

Keep away from me

My power, my fame,

If You want me to feel

That You truly love me.

```

8948

```

Man will evolve higher

Not by the mind’s courage,

But by the heart’s spontaneous

Love for God. ```

8949

```

Only when my soul sings

God’s Victory-Song

Am I entitled

To clasp His Feet. ```

8950

```

Eventually we shall all arrive

At the altar

Of perfect perfection.

```

8951

```

My all-loving heart

Has tremendous confidence

In my mind’s eventual God-search.

```

8952

```

The Master never withdraws,

Although

It may appear so.

```

8953

```

The judgement-seat

Rarely embodies

Happiness-smile.

```

8954

```

Nature’s transformation

If you want,

Then enter the field of service.

```

8955

```

If you are not going to face

Your anxieties and worries,

Then how are you going

To overcome them? ```

8956

```

Always try to be with

Your God-lover-friends.

They are the ones

Who will inspire you

And encourage you

To run the fastest. ```

8957

```

A true disciple knows

At whose feet

Will be his journey’s start

And his journey’s close. ```

8958

```

The promise of a truth-seeker

May not be fulfilled

All the time.

```

8959

```

The promise of a God-lover

God Himself

Fulfils.

```

8960

```

Your receptivity will tell you

How far you can go,

How high you can go,

How deep you can go. ```

8961

```

Liberation from expectation

Is satisfaction

Unsurpassable.

```

8962

```

God’s Hour is

God’s Blessing-Delight

And

Man’s surprise-height. ```

8963

```

A true God-lover

Is made by God Himself

A fear-conqueror.

```

8964

```

Our earthly plane

Definitely has a special purpose

In the process of evolution.

```

8965

```

If you do not want to please

God the finite,

How are you going to please

God the Infinite?

Impossible!

```

8966

```

The expansion of the heart

In itself

Is supreme satisfaction.

```

8967

```

Because the mind

Is bound by reason,

The mind is always wanting

In newness-fulness-smiles. ```

8968

```

A oneness-heart

Is perfectly synonymous

With a satisfaction-life.

```

8969

```

The separation of two lives

Is

An unfinished story.

```

8970

```

When I live inside

My mind-jungle,

I think that my Lord

Is eternally old. ```

8971

```

When I live inside

My heart-garden,

I feel that my Beloved

Is eternally new. ```

8972

```

An aspiration-life

Means

A life of desire-emptiness.

```

8973

```

Limited,

Extremely limited,

Our God-rejecting

And man-doubting mind. ```

8974

```

Unlimited,

Extremely unlimited,

Our God-loving, mind-serving

And man-caring heart. ```

8975

```

The beauty and fragrance

Of silence

Are always attracted

By the Divinity of God Himself. ```

8976

```

Not your heart but your head

You have to bow

To your Absolute Lord Supreme,

If you ever want to discover Him. ```

8977

```

Loving may not be

A slow process,

But surrendering definitely is.

```

8978

```

God does not hide

When my heart lives

In the world of happiness.

```

8979

```

God definitely hides

When I swim

In the sea of sorrows.

```

8980

```

Wherever I go,

I see the same face of space

And the same heart of time.

```

8981

```

Unless and until

Silence captures my mind,

I shall never have

Satisfaction-delight. ```

8982

```

My goal is not

The beauty of the finite,

Never!

```

8983

```

My goal is

The fragrance of the Infinite,

Ever!

```

8984

```

In the silence-mind,

Everything can be achieved

Faster than the fastest.

```

8985

```

My world-oneness-heart

Is a perfect stranger

To loneliness.

```

8986

```

Simplicity

Is a successful beginning

Of a spiritual journey.

```

8987

```

If you cannot control your mind,

Then you are not the lord

Of anything.

```

8988

```

What I really need

Is a burning aspiration

To be in the Presence

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

8989

```

I call it

My inner hunger.

God calls it

His Ecstasy-Thrill. ```

8990

```

Our present needs

Are our future

God-blossoming deeds.

```

8991

```

Time

Is of paramount importance

In every sphere of life.

```

8992

```

At long last

I have come to realise

That God for God’s sake

Is the only satisfaction. ```

8993

```

God blesses me

With His proudest Smile

When I soar towards Him

On the wings of my love. ```

8994

```

Identification

With one’s own inner divinity

Is a supreme secret

For a seeker to multiply

His inner progress and outer success.

```

8995

```

O my mind,

Trust the inner boat,

Trust the Inner Pilot,

Trust the inner journey.

They all will satisfy you.

None of them will fail you. ```

8996

```

Sleeplessly I remember

My Lord’s blessingful Smile

And

His encouraging Eye. ```

8997

```

When we encourage others

With no personal motives,

We raise high, very high,

Humanity’s progress-standard. ```

8998

```

It is the supreme duty

Of each and every human being

To surround himself

With God-Compassion,

God-Protection

And

God-Satisfaction.

```

8999

```

Since all tasks come from God,

We must offer the results

Only to God

And to nobody else. ```

9000

```

To express gratitude

At every moment

Is to have a short cut

To arrive at God’s

Heart-Palace.
