16801
The heart needs happinessAt every moment
So it can move forward,
Dive inward
And fly upward.
16802
Our life gets constant movementForward, upward and inward
From our enthusiasm, goodwill
And physical dynamism.
16803
With the dynamism of your vitalAnd the self-giving qualities
Of your heart,
You can inspire humanity.
16804
Inspiration is of supreme importance,Since from inspiration
We get aspiration,
Which is sincere longing for God.
16805
God-manifestationWill be supremely successful
Only if it is done with sincere willingness,
Cheerfulness and self-offering.
16806
Nature’s beauty helps usTo be as vast as possible,
As peaceful as possible
And as pure as possible.
16807
Only in our heart-boatCan we go to the illumination-shore,
Which is the universal Goal.
16808
When your heart speaksTo my heart,
You don’t have to say a word.
16809
To have a feeling of onenessWith God’s Heart
Means you have already started walking
Along the right road.
16810
Each good thoughtIs a sweetness-dream
From a higher world,
Which we are trying to transform
Into reality.
16811
Alas,It is not your mind or vital,
But only your heart,
That is longing for something good,
Something divine,
Something supreme.
16812
Offer your life at every momentTo a good cause:
To do something worthwhile
For mankind.
16813
Begin your new lifeIn the New Year
With tremendous enthusiasm,
Tremendous determination
And tremendous self-giving.
16814
A seeker must bring forwardAll his inner determination
To challenge ignorance
And show that spirituality
Is infinitely stronger.
16815
God’s manifestation on earthAlways takes place through teamwork.
God will never claim the glory
All for Himself.
16816
Serve God the way God wants youTo serve Him.
Inwardly you will deserve
His blessingful Gratitude
And outwardly you will get
His Appreciation and Admiration.
16817
As affectionate parentsImmediately try to take away
Their little child’s suffering,
So also the Supreme,
Our affectionate Father,
Has many times tried
To take away our self-inflicted pain.
16818
At onceThe seeker-heart comes forward
When it feels the soulful sincerity
In a divine song.
16819
The philosophy of spiritual MastersOf the hoary past:
“Try, and then place the results
At the Feet of the Supreme.”
The philosophy of Masters of today:
“If you really try,
There is bound to come a time
When your life-tree will bear
Success-fruits.”
16820
If you have a true oneness-heart,You will feel
What I am feeling.
A sympathetic heart
Encompasses the entire world.
16821
Mother Earth is very happyThat God is still playing with her
The way He used to
Many years ago.
16822
OutwardlyYou may be old,
But inwardly
You do not have to behave
Like an old person.
The Supreme is a perfect example!
16823
Bring to your mind’s forefrontThree good qualities of yours,
Then soulfully expand them
And powerfully multiply them.
Lo, your life will be transformed!
16824
O my Lord Supreme,I am offering You
My heart’s impurity,
I am offering You
My mind’s insincerity,
I am offering You
My life’s insecurity
So that I may become
A supremely choice instrument of yours.
16825
If you want to get tremendous joy,Just watch and see
How your good qualities
Are increasing
And your bad qualities
Are decreasing.
16826
Each time we thinkOf others’ imperfections,
We must feel most sincerely
That we are misusing and losing
The most precious life-breath
Of our God-realisation-dream.
16827
Only a heart of sympathy,A heart of compassion
And a heart of oneness
Can feel what God truly is.
16828
He who has infinitely more loveFor our dear ones
Than we do
Deserves to have them with Him
Whenever He needs them.
16829
If we really care forThe heart’s oneness-love,
Then God will always provide us
With boundless opportunities
Here on earth
To express our own love
And to be loved by others.
16830
His aim is to inspireEach and every citizen of the world
With his love of God.
16831
While exhibitingYour most praiseworthy talents
To the world,
Do not forget to also offer
Your sweetness, affection and love.
16832
Every dayYou can inspire others
Through your sincere concern
For humanity’s happiness and progress.
16833
O God,Do stay inside
My small heart
But not inside
My big mouth!
16834
If God livesIn my tiny heart,
Then only am I safe.
16835
Many timesI have opened my big mouth
Only to abuse God,
And then to suffer and suffer.
16836
God is begging youTo develop your oneness-heart.
Alas, your division-mind
Is destroying everything,
Even poor God!
16837
When you hurl arrows at GodIn the inner world,
God will definitely give you a zero,
And that zero
Is your worst punishment.
16838
An act that God’s outer MindCalls stupidity,
God’s inner Heart calls Compassion
And nothing else.
16839
What has happened?You have climbed up
The tree of aspiration,
Only to come down again —
Right to the bottom!
16840
Out of His infinite BountyGod gives us opportunities
To become good citizens of the world,
To become His divine, supreme instruments
For world-transformation.
16841
If you work soulfullyWith a oneness-heart,
You will become the dear,
Dearer, dearest instrument
Of the Supreme.
16842
What is God’s Dream?Perfection of human life,
Perfection of human nature!
16843
It is God who has made the worldBeautiful,
But it is we who must utilise it
For the right purpose.
16844
We may say that we have triedVery hard.
But God is telling us
That we have not tried
Hard enough.
16845
With your soul-power,With your heart-power,
You must shake the life-tree
Of your country
To receive its most delicious fruits
And most beautiful flowers.
16846
O seeker,Ask yourself one question:
Do you want to be
God’s Headache and Heart attack,
Or do you want to be
God’s Crown?
16847
No matter how many ways you try,There is always one more way
That you have not yet tried
To please your Beloved Supreme.
16848
Once you have enteredThe spiritual life,
You do not belong
To any one country;
You belong to the Heart
Of the Supreme.
16849
If you have never been faithfulTo God’s Will,
Now is the golden opportunity
For you to do it at last!
16850
With our life’s soulfulness,With our mind’s willingness
And with our heart’s oneness,
Let us achieve the supreme Victory
For our Beloved Lord Supreme:
Peace — our Lord’s Peace-Dream.
16851
Exercise your imagination-power!You are bound to feel
That God’s Sadness and God’s Tears
Are infinitely, infinitely greater
Than humanity’s,
For the world is His creation,
His Dream.
16852
Be a devoted, soulful serverOf humanity.
God will definitely be proud of you —
Infinitely more proud
Than you can ever imagine!
16853
My confusion-knife,My uncertainty-knife,
My deception-knife
And my destruction-knife
Have shamelessly and ruthlessly
Stabbed
The loving and compassionate
Heart of God.
16854
The Supreme is so happyThat He still has infinite children
In His creation
Who will not allow
His Peace-Dream on earth
To remain unfulfilled.
16855
Your conscious love for God,Your sleepless affection for God
And your breathless fondness for God
Will eventually manifest
His transcendental Divinity
Here on earth.
16856
Do you knowWhere the Supreme is?
He is all the time dreaming
In His infinite Light and Delight.
16857
As you and I dream of peace,Even so, there are many other
Dreamers of peace.
They are crying inside our hearts,
And we are crying inside their hearts.
16858
If you cannot developSoulful devotion inside your life,
You will miss
A golden opportunity
To run faster than the fastest
Into the Heart of your Beloved Supreme.
16859
Those who become part and parcelOf any spiritual activity
Become one soul, one heart,
One aspiration, one dedication.
16860
Your aspiration-songIs not just one of the many
Ordinary things
You can have in life,
But something meaningful, powerful
And fruitful.
16861
Sometimes we needRelaxation,
But never do we need
Complacency!
16862
If you don’t belong to God,Then you belong only to yourself —
To your stupidity,
Which takes you away from
Your own reality.
16863
The lethargic and self-sufficient seekerNeeds nothing from the spiritual life.
The dynamic and God-dependent seeker
Not only needs something
From the spiritual life
But also wants to offer something
Very special to God.
16864
Keep yourself happyBy keeping yourself busy!
Do not stay in a corner
Thinking and brooding!
16865
True oneness is so strong,Pure and self-giving
That before your friend asks you,
You will fulfil his heart’s need.
16866
In his heart-lifeHe felt miserable
That he did not sing
God’s universal Oneness-Song
When he had the golden opportunity.
16867
Do you not knowThat God has forgiven you?
Something more:
God’s Grace is descending
Upon you powerfully
So that you will not repeat
The same mistakes again.
16868
If you really appreciate something,You will try to possess it.
Just learn divinity-songs by heart.
Lo, the divinity that they embody
Will be yours,
Your very own.
16869
Your deliberate lack of receptivityIs paining the Supreme
Far beyond your imagination!
16870
Although you may not valueThe spiritual life,
Rest assured, there will be others on earth
Who will care for God
And who will sincerely try
To be His worthy instruments.
16871
Spirituality is for the wise.If you want to survive,
Do not show your stupidity-compassion
To those false seekers
Who are not aspiring.
16872
You fool!Why do you think
That your spirituality is stronger
Than the ignorance of the unaspiring world?
16873
God will be responsibleFor your inner life
Only if you listen to Him.
16874
How can you expect the sameAffection and Concern from God
If you do not offer Him
The same aspiration and dedication
As your fellow seekers do?
16875
Never feelThat because you have pleased God
Over the years
In various ways,
God will forgive you for the many ways
That you are not pleasing Him.
16876
Bring to the foreYour most difficult problem.
God is offering you
His wholehearted support
To conquer it.
16877
My daily prayer to God:I am helpless; save me!
I offer what I have
And what I am
For You to purify.
16878
What I needIs constant awareness
To fight not against others
But against my own unillumined self.
16879
Remember,Humanity is failing you
Not deliberately,
But because of its limited capacities.
16880
While walking along Eternity’s Road,You will find at every moment
That there is only one Friend,
Inner and outer,
And that is your Beloved Supreme.
16881
O Lord Supreme,True, I can forget You,
But it is I who will be
The veritable loser.
16882
Do not despair.Your inner strength, joy, peace
And satisfaction
You will definitely be able
To bring to the fore again
By the infinite Grace of the Supreme.
16883
With our own determinationAnd with Grace from Above
We will be able to succeed
Without fail
And to proceed
In an amazing way!
16884
The outer runner wants speedTo reach his goal.
The inner runner also needs speed,
For inner speed determines
Our inner destination.
16885
If you are deliberately receivingNothing from God,
Then you are only stabbing
God’s vaster-than-the-vastest
Compassion-Heart.
16886
Humanity’s mind has turned GodInto an unnatural Being.
But God still maintains
His inner Poise.
That is why He still exists
On earth.
16887
If you do not avail yourselfOf the opportunity before you,
I do not know when
You will be wise enough
To take any opportunity from Above.
16888
You say that you are a hopeless case.But do you not hear Someone deep inside
Telling you not to give up,
But to again get inspiration
To become good, better and best?
16889
Whether God asks you to enterInto the battlefield of life
And fight for Him
Or just to take rest,
You should be equally happy.
16890
Only one feelingCan make everybody happy:
“I am needed by God
In God’s own Way.”
16891
Do not indulge in lethargy,But do not forget the importance of rest.
With a new supply of energy
You will be able to work for God
With enthusiasm and eagerness.
16892
Work soulfully and devotedly,Without any pride,
Or at least feel that you are one
With those who do!
16893
Are you a first-class God-lover?If so, even when God does not appoint you,
Insecurity, jealousy and anxiety
Will not torture you.
16894
The good things in your lifeGratefully offer to the Supreme,
And He will multiply them.
The bad things in your life
Devotedly offer to the Supreme,
And He will keep them for Himself.
16895
O my mind,For God’s sake
And for your own sake,
Stop carrying
Your utterly useless yesterdays!
16896
Alas!When will my mind and heart
Stop dancing the desire-dance?
16897
The mind’s unfoundedFears and doubts
Are ruthlessly destroying
The seeker-heart’s
Courage and faith.
16898
The aspiration-famine-mindAlways enjoys the thunder-roar
Of ignorance-night.
16899
O Lord Supreme,Do help me to free myself
From the taut shackles
Of useless regret.
16900
God tells the Truth-seekersAnd God-lovers,
“You alone are My sweet Dreams,
You alone are My pure Realities,
You alone are My Eternity’s All.”
