The Wings of Light, part 19

901. Is my God pleased?

```

Is my God pleased with earth?

No, He is sick of earth’s stupidity.

Is my God pleased with Heaven?

No, He is sick of Heaven’s indifference.

Is my God pleased with Himself?

No, He is sick of His futility. ```

902. I understood God

```

God understood me

Totally

Only when I gave up

My animal pride.

I understood God

Perfectly

Only when He lowered

His highest Height

Compassionately and considerably.

```

903. I play no more

```

I play no more

With my dying friend: fear.

I play no more

With my dead friend: doubt.

I play no more

With my strange friend: insecurity.

I play no more

With my puny friend: ego. ```

904. Who hides?

```

Who hides his presence?

God.

Who hides his absence?

Man.

God hides His presence

Because He feels

He can work better

For His children unnoticed.

Man hides his absence

Because he feels

His lack of dedication

Should not be exposed. ```

905. My happiness

```

My thought-life

Is my false happiness.

My will-life

Is my true happiness.

My service-life

Is my lasting happiness.

My surrender-life

Is my everlasting happiness. ```

906. Learning something more

```

I have all along known

Two things:

My Heaven is deaf,

My earth is blind.

And today

I am learning

Something more:

My God is indifferent. ```

907. What I need

```

On earth

What I need is peace.

In Heaven

What I need is progress.

For humanity

What I need is love.

For divinity

What I need is service.

From the Supreme

What I need is a sun-vast Smile.

From myself

What I need is willingness,

And its bosom friend,

Readiness. ```

908. I am a fool

```

I am a fool

When I blindly imitate.

I am a fool

When I unnecessarily hesitate.

I am a fool

When I helplessly cry.

I am a fool

When I all alone

Greedily and shamelessly fly.

```

909. Two more things

```

One thing you have seen:

The disappearance of God

From your vital life.

Two more things you are bound to see:

God’s sweet appearance

In your heart,

His bold emergence

From your body.

```

910. I can live without you

```

Lord, in the morning

I can live without You,

But

Not without Your Sun-smile.

Lord, in the afternoon

I can live without You,

But

Not without Your Concern-sky.

Lord, in the evening

I can live without You,

But

Not without Your Compassion-sea. ```

911. Your freedom

```

Your physical freedom

Has bound you;

Yet you want physical freedom.

Your vital freedom

Has crucified you;

Yet you want vital freedom.

Your mental freedom

Has blighted you;

Yet you want mental freedom.

Your psychic freedom

Is crying for you;

Yet you want not psychic freedom.

Your God-freedom

Is beckoning you;

Ah, I am seeing you in your God-freedom!

```

912. Pablo Casals

```

Pablo Casals:

He lived the life

Of a curious child

In the heart of Mother Nature.

He loved the life

Of a precious child

In the heart of Golden Skies.

He became the achievements

Of a stupendous child

In the heart of infinite Love.

```

913. God's new Dawn

```

I love the eyes

Of the morning rose.

In them I see

The Beauty of God.

I love the ears

Of the evening rose.

In them I see

The Patience of God.

I love the lips

Of the dying rose.

From them I hear

The message of God’s new Dawn. ```

914. To please God

```

In the morning

I shall seek like a seeker

To please God the Truth.

At noon

I shall meditate like a Yogi

To please God the Liberator.

In the evening

I shall love like a divine lover

To please God the Eternal Beloved.

```

915. How can I live?

```

My Lord, how can I live

With my frustration-heart?

My Lord, how can I live

With my destruction-life?

My Lord, how can I live

With my timid soul?

My Lord, how can I live

With my indifferent Goal? ```

916. Who is he?

```

Day: what is it?

Day is my hopeful life.

Night: what is it?

Night is my peaceful life.

Man: who is he?

He is my stranger-friend.

God: who is He?

He is my soul’s only choice,

He is my Goal’s only voice.

```

917. Just love the light

```

My Lord,

How shall I think of Thee?

“Don’t think.

Just love the Light In Me.”

My Lord,

How shall I meditate on Thee?

“Don’t meditate.

Just love the Light in Me.”

My Lord,

How shall I love the Light in Thee?

“Ah, My child, that is My task.

Leave it to Me.

I shall do it for you, and for you alone.”

```

918. Mother of the universe

```

Mother of the universe,

You are vaster than Your Infinity

When I place my searching head

At Your Feet.

Mother of the universe,

You are older than Your Eternity

When I place my crying heart

At Your Feet.

Mother of the universe,

You are stronger than Your Immortality

When I place my loving soul

At Your Feet. ```

919. How shall I feed you?

```

How shall I feed You,

My Lord?

I have been feeding You

For a long time

With my love, devotion and surrender.

You are sick of my impure love,

You are sick of my false devotion,

You are sick of my conditional surrender.

Therefore

I am totally lost.

“My child, feed Me with your

Sincerity’s breath.

Try, you can,

You shall.” ```

920. Supremacy

```

The human in me

Openly adores the supremacy of Truth.

The divine in me

Soulfully loves the supremacy of Love.

The God in me

Secretly becomes the supremacy of Compassion. ```

921. Love is

```

Beauty dies,

The body lives.

The body sleeps,

The soul smiles.

The soul promises,

God fulfils.

God triumphs,

Man becomes.

Man becomes,

Love is. ```

922. The secrets of the world

```

Do you want to learn

The secrets of the world

We live in?

Then carefully listen:

Perfection: who wants it?

Nobody, practically no one.

Fulfilment: who wants it?

Everybody, without exception. ```

923. Like you I wish to be

```

Matter, my dear,

Like you I wish to be explicit.

“Ah, that’s easy,

Spirit dear.

Just touch my feet.

Difficult?

Then sit at my feet.

That’s all!”

Spirit, my dear,

Like you I want to be implicit.

“Ah, that’s very easy,

Matter dear.

Just enter into my heart

And

Live there forever.

Difficult?

Then feel my heart.

That’s all!” ```

924. Perfection-progress, achievement-experience

```

In the world of Light

I fly from peak to peak.

Indeed, this is my perfection-progress.

In the world of night

I stumble from frustration-window

To destruction-door.

Indeed, this is my achievement-experience. ```

925. God-realisation

```

God-realisation

Is your birthright.

Fantasy, it is not.

Obstinacy, it is not.

Autocracy, it is not.

Accuracy of your life Divine,

It is.

Supremacy of your Reality,

It always is.

```

926. Yesterday, today, tomorrow

```

Yesterday, just yesterday

I was a Heaven-inspired dream.

Today, just today

I am a God-intoxicated life.

Tomorrow, just tomorrow

I shall touch the Supreme’s Reality-Shore. ```

927. Earth-bound truth and Heaven-free truth

```

Do you want to know

The difference

Between

Earth-bound truth

And

Heaven-free truth?

Earth-bound truth

Is for me today,

For you tomorrow.

Heaven-free truth

Is all balanced,

Quite impartial

And

Always just. ```

928. The sad story

```

When our eyeless body

Is in the foreground,

Our clever vital

Recedes into the background.

When our aggressive vital

Is in the foreground,

Our uncertain mind

Recedes into the background.

When our unlit mind

Is in the foreground,

Our insecure heart

Recedes into the background.

And there, there alone,

The sad story ends. ```

929. A diamond-oneness

```

You are delighted

Because

Your puny “I”

Has at last vanished.

God is more delighted

Because

Love has taken its place.

You and God

Will be most delighted

When your gold-love is unreservedly

Transformed into a diamond-oneness. ```

930. You want, you need

```

Expansion you want,

Integration you need.

God-study you want,

God-living you need.

Height-projection you want,

Love-manifestation you need. ```

931. Before they were born

```

Before my God-aspiration was born,

My life was an unlimited ignorance.

Before my God-realisation was born,

My life was a limited knowledge.

Before my God-manifestation was born,

My life was a partial wisdom. ```

932. Unity

```

Unity in duality,

Unity in multiplicity,

Unity in diversity,

I desired.

God granted my climbing prayer.

Unity in Unity,

Unity in Divinity,

Unity in Immortality,

I desire.

God shall grant my glowing prayer.

```

933. Your teachers

```

Your body-teacher

Taught you how to be personal.

Your vital teacher

Taught you how to be emotional.

Your mind-teacher

Taught you how to be impersonal.

Your heart-teacher

Taught you how to be universal.

Your God-teacher

Taught you how to be practical:

Practical in life,

Practical in death,

Practical on earth,

Practical in Heaven,

Practical in God-realisation,

Practical in Height-manifestation. ```

934. Human will, Divine Will

```

In the morning

Human will is confusion-forest.

In the evening

Human will is contradiction-sea.

At night

Human will is contention-sky.

In the morning

Divine Will is Love-realisation.

In the evening

Divine Will is Truth-manifestation.

At night

Divine Will is God-perfection. ```

935. No more, no less

```

You are no more

Than a human being

When you fail to meditate.

You are no less

Than a cosmic god

When you soulfully meditate.

You are no more

And

No less than God Himself

When you divinely love and serve. ```

936. When I do not fail

```

I struggle with myself,

And I fail.

I surrender in the battlefield of life,

And I fail.

Do you know when I

Do not fail?

I do not fail only when

My heart cries

For my self-transcendence

And my soul smiles

At my self-immanence.

```

937. I depend

```

I depend on my eyes.

They don’t see the Truth.

I depend on my ears.

They don’t hear the Truth.

I depend on my nose.

It doesn’t breathe well.

I depend on my hands.

They don’t work well.

I depend on my feet.

They don’t walk well.

I depend on my mind.

It doesn’t think well.

I depend on my vital.

It doesn’t strive well.

I depend on my body.

It doesn’t cry well.

I depend on my heart.

It serves me well,

It manifests me well,

It fulfils me well,

It immortalises me well.

```

938. They tell me

```

My aspiration tells me

What compassion is.

Compassion tells me

What self-knowledge is.

Self-knowledge tells me

What self-mastery is.

Self-mastery tells me

What self-sufficiency is.

Self-sufficiency tells me

What oneness is. ```

939. The Divine

```

How can anyone fail?

Do we not know

That the Divine has entered

Into the human heart?

Will the Divine remain,

Can the Divine remain

Satisfied

Without regaining

Its topless heights?

Never! ```

940. The silence of the spirit's Core

```

Who says it is extremely difficult

To win the silence of the spirit’s Core?

I say it is easy,

Unmistakably easy.

Just smell your action-fragrance

And

Eat your experience-fruit.

Lo, your problem is solved,

Once and for all.

```

941. It is not bad

```

Transformed individuality

Is not bad.

It has its own uniqueness.

Transformed personality

Is not bad.

It has its own exclusive worth.

Transformed individuality-personality

Is not bad.

It has its own significant gift.

```

942. They tell the world

```

The human in me tells the world:

“I want to help you,

But tell me how.”

The divine in me tells the world:

“I wish to serve you,

And I am imploring God how.”

The Supreme in me tells the world:

“I shall please you,

And I know how.”

```

943. How to love the world

```

You say that you know not

How to love the world.

That means you are

Already choked,

stifled,

strangled.

He says that he knows

How to love the world.

That means he is

Already accepted by Infinity,

liberated by Eternity,

manifested by Immortality. ```

944. Needs and heeds

```

Doubt assails,

Faith prevails,

Joy sails.

Fear dies,

Courage survives,

Love flies.

Light sees,

Peace feels,

Delight feeds

And

The man in God needs,

The God in man heeds. ```

945. Three marriages

```

The weak and the ignorant

Are married to the transient.

The strong and the wise

Are married to the permanent.

The aspiring and the loving

Are married to the Omnipotent. ```

946. Unseen links

```

Beauty

Has its unseen links

With Heaven’s smile.

Beauty

Has its unseen links

With earth’s cry.

Beauty

Has its unseen links

With God’s Compassion.

```

947. Clever and wise

```

If you are really clever,

Bury your lower self

In the womb of night.

God will bless you.

If you are divinely wise,

Resurrect your higher Self

In the core of Light.

God will embrace you. ```

948. Beauty

```

Beauty is the window

Through which I see

The Face of Reality.

Beauty is the door

Through which I welcome

My Beloved Supreme.

Beauty is the room

Where my life becomes

Immortality.

```

949. Fulfilling beauty

```

Life

Is evolving Beauty.

Truth

Is revealing Beauty.

Love

Is illumining Beauty.

Peace

Is manifesting Beauty.

Light

Is fulfilling Beauty. ```

950. Man in God, God in man

```

Hate is the man in God;

Love is the God in man.

Self-gratification is the man in God;

Life-dedication is the God in man.

Desire-force is the man in God;

Aspiration-light is the God in man. ```
