1501

The sweet rain of truth
Unconditionally helped him fly
Into the highest Abode of Divinity
Where God was waiting for him
With His Immortality’s Smile.

1502

Do not be sad
To see your mind’s sunset.
Behold the perfection-splendour
Of your heart’s sunrise.

1503

Every day my heart sings
A new song of gratitude,
And this new song
Increases
The joy of my perfection-delight.

1504

God’s Compassion-Eye
And
His Forgiveness-Heart
Are planning something for you:
Your desire-mind
Is soon going to surrender
To your aspiration-heart.

1505

What the world needs from you
Is your heart’s abiding faith
And not
Your mind’s towering philosophy.

1506

As long as we claim to be seekers
Of the infinite Truth,
As long as we claim to be
God-lovers,
There can be nothing
As important as obedience
In our inner life and our outer life.

1507

Inner obedience
Is infinitely more difficult
Than outer obedience,
For to achieve inner obedience
One has the formidable task
Of fully conquering doubt.

1508

Enslaved by words,
You immediately fall.
Emancipated by deeds,
You triumphantly rise.

1509

In order to achieve
Transcendence-perfection
In your life of aspiration
And dedication,
Every day you must be ready
To brave inner and outer hurdles.

1510

My Beloved Supreme,
I want to be a sincere, devoted,
Surrendered and perfect instrument
Of Yours.
I shall overcome all the hurdles —
Insincerity, insecurity, impurity,
Disobedience and ungratefulness —
That I may encounter along the way.

1511

Great thoughts surround me
With God’s breathtaking Heights.
Good thoughts reveal
God’s infinite Beauty through me.

1512

Your Master’s name is inspiration.
Your Master’s name is aspiration.
Your name is dedication.
Your name is manifestation.
His names and your names combined
Create a most significant gift
For mankind.

1513

As soon as I see
Any of my inner barriers,
One by one
I shall break them
Into a million pieces
For my aspiration-life’s
Self-transcendence.

1514

A heart of purity
Sees that its life
Is at once
Inside mistrusting humanity
And frustrated humanity.

1515

I am ready to touch the feet
Of hesitation and fear,
For they are protecting me
By delaying the fulfilment
Of my undesirable desire-bound life.

1516

Postponement, I love you.
In my desire-life
You are preventing me
From touching the breath
Of the abysmal abyss.

1517

If you really dislike
The dividing lines of your jealousy,
Then quite soon
They will reach their vanishing point.

1518

If you are striving
To elevate your life,
Any obstacles you meet
Must be destroyed.

If you are going
To ruin your life,
Any obstacles you meet
Are your true saviours.

1519

You are still
In your unmanifested perfection.
How then can God allow you
To enjoy companionship
With the Immortals?

1520

Transcendence is perfection.
Perfection is transcendence.
When we transcend our capacities,
Immediately we get an inner joy,
An inner thrill,
Which is another name for perfection.
No perfection can ever be achieved
Without self-transcendence.

1521

Your Master asked you
To sit in front of him —
Such an easy task!
And what did you do?
You allowed your unaspiring vital
And your doubting mind
To ascribe some motive
To his simple and blessingful request.

1522

Fulfil your Lord’s Requests
With a soulful cry
And
A fruitful smile
And say, “This is what He wants.
I am going to please Him
In His own Way.”

1523

Who has freed his life
From bondage-chains
By accepting falsehood
For his safety’s sake?
None!

1524

Just offer your Lord Supreme
Your inner obedience.
You will definitely be able to win
The Godward race.

1525

Outer obedience and inner obedience
Must go together —
Two legs we need
To walk, march and run
Towards the ultimate Goal.

1526

On your mark,
Get set,
Go!
In pin-drop silence
God’s Eagerness-Heart
Is waiting for you
At the finish line.

1527

He is cherishing the idea
That obedience is not necessary for him,
Since once upon a time
He served his Lord
And did Him a big favour.
What a deplorable mistake!

1528

Are you blind?
Can you not see
That by fulfilling your Lord Supreme
You have increased
Your own inner and outer capacities?

1529

If you mount
On the wings of meditation,
You will see no division-skies
And no destruction-clouds.

1530

On the strength of your mutual oneness,
You and your Master
Together have pleased God.
Your Master gave you God’s Message
And this Message was fulfilled
In and through you.

1531

If you believe in your own
Ultimate perfection,
If you believe in the necessity
Of transcendence,
Then you have to have a permanent name
In the inner world
And in the outer world,
And that name is obedience.

1532

Now that he has turned his back
On his unaspiring past,
He soulfully hears
The symphony
Of his heart’s God-fulfilling dreams.

1533

Be careful!
The disobedience-force that today
Does not allow you to listen
To your Master’s
So-called ‘insignificant’ requests,
Tomorrow will have the capacity
To inwardly take you
Thousands of miles away from him.

1534

My Lord Supreme,
Each time I do not obey You,
Each time I do not please You,
Each time I do not fulfil You,
I clearly see that I am feeding
A devouring tiger deep inside me.

1535

You fool!
Do you think your aspiration-heart
Will be scared to death
If it sees
Your mind’s thought-bullies?

1536

He mistakenly thought
That he would escape,
That somebody else would fall
Into the vital-tiger’s den.
Alas, soon he was found
Inside the cave of destruction
Which he himself had created
Through his disobedience.

1537

No wonder I see you
As a picture of perfect self-deception.
I see you have gladly allowed yourself
To be caught in the currents of desire.

1538

You will always remain
Unfamiliar to defeat
If you carry a smile
That touches every heart.

1539

Overcome your weaknesses
On the strength of your sincerity
And obedience.
Your sincerity will save you,
Your obedience will illumine you.

1540

Do you want to make progress
Or do you want to crawl
In your spiritual life?
If you feel the necessity
To walk, march and run,
Then obey your Inner Pilot
Every day, every hour, every minute.

1541

My soul is the poet in me.
My heart is the poetry in me.
My Beloved Inner Pilot
Is the Reader in me.

1542

I desired to become great
On the human level.
My desires killed me.
I aspire to become good
On the divine level.
My aspirations are illumining me
And fulfilling me.

1543

An ungrateful heart
Is the darkness
Of man’s life-torturing
Inner poverty.

1544

You can plumb the depth
Of your inner light
Only if you come out
Consciously
From the abyss of your lifeless
Nothingness.

1545

Every day ask yourself
Whether or not
You want to see your highest divinity.
If the answer is “Yes”,
Then it is worth staying in the spiritual life
To realise God.

1546

The chosen instruments
Of the Lord Supreme
Will always feel
That they are not indispensable.
The very moment
They feel that they are indispensable
Is the beginning
Of their spiritual downfall.

1547

Can you imagine!
God has given up
His Infinity’s Power
To play with me
Inside my insecurity-cave.

1548

I am now enjoying
My supreme surrender-freedom.
Thousands of years have worked on me
For this most precious moment.

1549

You can be a supreme authority
On divine victory
If your mind
Has a ceaseless thirst
And your heart
Has a sleepless hunger
For God.

1550

A doubting mind
And
A sleeping body:
These are the two universal sicknesses
Of humanity.

1551

In the inner world
Doubt is unmistakably
The most powerful enemy —
The enemy that makes us doubt
Our Lord Supreme
As well as our own capacities.

1552

Unless you are totally freed
From the prison
Of your antic attitude
Towards God’s
Compassion-Forgiveness-Flood,
How can you ever have
A heart of satisfaction-sun?

1553

On my way to Heaven
Do you think I will ever forget
To carry
My Heaven-indifference-proof shield?

1554

Every morning
My mind and I wander
Upon the shores of delusion.
Every evening
My heart and I sing hymns
At Heaven’s Gate,
Yet we are not proud.

1555

If you have not yet fulfilled
The Requests of your Beloved Supreme,
Then now is the time
For you to forget about the useless past.
Just voice forth:
“I will do it, I am doing it.”

1556

Today’s difficulty-race
Is making your body, vital and mind cry.
Tomorrow’s victory-crown
Will not only make those three happy,
But also will make three more members
Of your inner family happy:
Your heart, your soul and your God.

1557

My Lord,
What You need, I also need.
“True, My child.
Unfortunately,
I am meeting with My Needs,
While you are not.
But do not worry.
I will definitely show you
How to do it.”

1558

Do you know what he has done
Quite recently?
He has sold his earth-cave to God
To buy God’s Heaven-Home.

1559

Now that he has escaped
The tempting chasm
Of insincerity,
He is hoisting the flag
Of his permanent victory.

1560

When you are cheerfully
Able to offer
Your achievements to God,
You become a life of aspiration,
And the rest of the world
Will undoubtedly derive benefit
From your achievements.

1561

Let us go back
Into the world of aspiration.
Let us aspire every day
To be worthy
Of our Lord’s Compassion-Flood
And Forgiveness-Sea.

1562

Yours will be the life
Of a continuous miracle-maker
Because
Your soul-vision is sprouting
Into your heart-reality.

1563

What have inner disobedience
And outer disobedience
Done for him?
He has gone back to his old life,
Where he is once more wallowing
In the mire of ignorance.

1564

How can God play His Cosmic Game,
His divine Lila,
If He is all the time
Finding fault with His human children?
Then there would be no Game.

1565

O fear, doubt, anxiety and insecurity,
When are you going to learn
That you are
The unfortunate soldiers
Of ignorance-king?

1566

Sincerity and obedience
Are the obverse and reverse
Of the same coin.
As a truth-seeker
You have to feel
That you are that golden coin.

1567

At every moment
Be sincere
To your own inner longing.
Do you really want God?
If the answer is “Yes”,
Then be sincere and remain sincere.
If you do not really want God,
Then for you there is no necessity
To remain sincere.

1568

During my philosophical period
I thought
That God was God’s own Head.
Now during my spiritual period
I know
That God is God’s own Heart.

1569

Each day observe
How many good thoughts you have
That inspire your life,
And how many discouraging,
Unaspiring and harmful thoughts
You allow to enter into your mind.
Then record them
In your inner notebook.

1570

His complacent self-sufficiency
Makes him feel
That the progress he has made so far
Is more than enough for him.
He feels no necessity
To increase his inner hunger
Since at every moment
He is pleased with what he has
And what he is.
What an unfortunate seeker!

1571

Yesterday I desired to achieve
So that I could become
Something or someone great
In the world.
Today my desire has been purified
And transformed into my aspiration
To serve the world.

1572

He wanted to become great
Not by competing with others
Or with himself,
But by creating a new hunger
For God the Beloved Supreme.

1573

I started my journey
With desire.
I am continuing my journey
With aspiration.
I shall complete my journey
With gratitude.

1574

Selfless service is definitely
An act of rich creativity.
What have you created?
A feeling of fulfilling oneness
In your life.

1575

Be good and remain good.
Be perfect and remain perfect.
If you are already good,
Then transcend your goodness.
If you are already perfect,
Then transcend your perfection.

1576

Devoted and soulful service
Means a vast expansion
Of our conscious oneness
With God the Creation.

1577

God took thousands of years
To make you realise Him.
Now it takes you
Only a fleeting second
To tell the world that you are
His supremely chosen instrument.

1578

If others cannot appreciate
Your self-offering
And cannot offer their gratitude,
It is their loss,
For they are not making progress.
You just continue
Offering your services
Soulfully and devotedly
To your Beloved Supreme
And you will make
The fastest progress.

1579

Try to run the fastest.
Aspire soulfully and devotedly.
There shall come a time
When there will be people on earth
To appreciate and value
Your aspiration-mountain.

1580

If you allow
Your life-tree to be sprinkled
By small temptations,
How can it bear
Big illumination-fruits?

1581

If you are convinced
That you are meant for the highest Reality,
Then go one step forward
And ask yourself
How you can reach the Highest.
To take you
To the top of the Himalayas
There is an inner elevator,
And this elevator is nothing other than
Your heart’s unconditional obedience-light.

1582

Obey your Inner Pilot,
Obey your Master,
Obey your soul’s dictates.
You are bound to reach
And become
The Light of the Beyond.

1583

He turns his life
Into his heart’s purity-fragrance
To charm
His soul’s God-Vision-Eye.

1584

Do not try to advise the world
With your limited capacity
Or look down upon the world around you.
If you feel that you are better
Than those who are not aspiring,
You are playing with temptation-fire
Right in front of you.

1585

Why are you trying to change
The outer world?
Why are you trying to make others feel
That their world is very bad
And yours is very good?
Why?
Why?

1586

When hope is gone,
I see one thing,
I feel one thing
And I become one thing:
The mud of ignorance.

1587

God’s first Message:
“My child,
I want you to please Me.”

God’s next Message:
“My child,
I am showing you
How you must please Me.”

1588

His writings represent
Both his inner world of realisation
And his outer world of dedication.
If you read his writings,
You will see inside you
An inner highway
On which you can drive your life-chariot
Faster than the fastest
To the destined Goal.

1589

I like your heart.
I admire your soul.
I love your God.
But I vehemently dislike
The stone face
Of your stark solitude.

1590

The philosophy of self-transcendence
Is the highest Message
That God has handed down to humanity.
Not only that,
He considers this Message
Equally applicable to Himself.

1591

Anything that God is asking us to do
In our lives,
He Himself is also doing
In His own Life.
He is giving us the Assurance
That we can do the same thing
Provided our belief in Him
Is perfect
And our obedience to Him
Is unconditional.

1592

God has given
A universe-sustaining heart
Only to those
Who have denied themselves
Completely.

1593

Obedience embodies
The message of perfection-light.
Obedience embodies
The message of transcendence-delight.

1594

Each time you obey
The Will of the Supreme,
Your body-consciousness becomes light,
Very light,
And you can easily fly
Into the highest Realm
Of His Infinity’s Light
And His Immortality’s Bliss.

1595

Every day remind yourself:
Yours is not the mission that will fail.
Yours is the God-ordained mission
That is bound to succeed.

1596

My Eternity’s Beloved Pilot Supreme,
I know, I know,
I came into the world
For only one purpose:
To give You the utmost Joy
In your own Way.

1597

Although you may not be perfect,
You are supremely chosen,
For you have definitely established
A self-giving heart of oneness
With your Lord’s Transcendental Will.

1598

His life’s morning stumblings:
Self-indulgence
And
Self-aggrandisement.

His life’s evening stumblings:
An interference-mind
And
An indifference-heart.

1599

My Lord,
You have made me
Your chosen instrument.
But I know that others
Can easily be made into
Your choice instruments
If You execute Your Compassion-Flood
In and through them.
Never will I say that I am
An indispensable instrument,
But I will always remain
Your grateful instrument.

1600

I am a sea of gratitude
Within and without,
My Lord,
For You have chosen me
Out of Your infinite Bounty
To do something special for You
In Your Life of Manifestation.
