5401

Peace
Is man’s special oneness
With the Immortality
Of God’s Love.

5402

God always needs
The purity of our hearts
To run the world.

5403

I am so proud of you
For having finally said good-bye
To your wild impurity-past.

5404

You have no idea
How God cherishes
Your heart’s
Snow-white hospitality.

5405

He who serves the world
Undoubtedly manages
The vast world.

5406

God I claim.
Therefore, my freedom-life
I proclaim.

5407

Every morning
My heart weaves
A gratitude-garland
For my Beloved Supreme.

5408

How will you succeed
In the battlefield of your life
If you do not subordinate
Your inordinate pride?

5409

Please inform God
That your heart
Will never be indifferent
To God’s beautiful creation.

5410

God does not want you
To declare the independence
Of your mind’s life.

5411

When are you going
To see the world
From God’s point of view?

5412

Your faith is faltering.
Therefore
God is disappearing.

5413

Peace-disturbers
Are frightening barkers
Without being dogs.

5414

Your gratitude-heart
Is a great tribute
To God’s Perfection-Promise.

5415

True, you have not
Seen your soul,
But you have definitely
Felt your heart.
Now listen to your heart!

5416

You need a soulful heart
To read
God’s beautiful Handwriting.

5417

Each blunder
Has the tremendous capacity
To tear man’s heart
Asunder.

5418

He knows nothing
About his optimistic heart.
He only knows
About his pessimistic mind.

5419

If you nourish
Your inner purity,
Your outer divinity
Will flourish.

5420

As long as my Beloved Supreme
Knows what I am going to be,
I do not have to worry.

5421

There must be
A stronger power
Than my ceaseless stupidity.

5422

His matchless goal
Is to set
A new aspiration-record
Every day.

5423

Every morning
My Beloved Supreme
Breathes the prayer-perfume
Of my heart.

5424

One sweet purity-breath
Means the most beautiful rose
In your heart-garden
Is definitely blossoming.

5425

The loneliness
Of a desire-bound life
Is more dangerous
Than a naked knife.

5426

The mind wants to become
A bold rival of God’s Head.
The heart longs to become
A perfect instrument of God’s Feet.

5427

How can your life be satisfied
With small realities
If your heart has big dreams?

5428

At last he has recognised
That he has had enough
Of desire-meal.

5429

The heart’s obedience
Paves the way
For the life’s perfection.

5430

There is only one thing faithful
In your life
And that is your doubt-dog.

5431

Alas,
I do not know
When ignorance will become boring
To my mind.

5432

When the mind starts listening
To God,
The loving heart starts dancing
For God.

5433

I call it my obedience,
But God calls it
His Pride in me.

5434

A God-lover is he
Who always feels
That the best is yet to come.

5435

My open-heart policy:
Peace
At any price.

5436

A genuine aspiration-heart
Can never miss
The heaven-bound express.

5437

Purity is for those
Who desperately need
God the Beauty.

5438

Implore the world-Lord
Today
If you want to explore His world
Tomorrow.

5439

If you provoke
God the man,
How can you invoke
Man the God?

5440

Because you fear loneliness,
God’s Oneness-Loveliness
Always remains a far cry.

5441

You do not need anybody else
To repair your broken heart.
That is God’s job,
And He will gladly do it for you.

5442

If you hesitate
To run forward,
You will be lost
In the tunnel of the past.

5443

My Beloved Supreme
Still thinks
That my life needs a leash.

5444

There is always
A reserved seat for him
In God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

5445

I am ready to introduce you
To God’s Compassion-Eye
But not to His Satisfaction-Heart.

5446

God is ready,
But your mind
Is still taking time
To be ready.

5447

To clean up your mind,
Warm up your heart first,
For that is the correct way.

5448

There is no such thing
As inevitability.
Therefore, I must always fight
To establish the divine within me.

5449

If you want to extinguish
Your desire-life,
God will give you chance after chance
To achieve victory.

5450

How much proof
Do you really want
That God does care for you
Unconditionally?

5451

God is ready
To sponsor you.
Are you ready
To fight against ignorance-night?

5452

A faith-plant
Has the capacity to challenge
A doubt-tree.

5453

If you keep your mind
God-oriented,
Your life will not be frightened
By what it has done previously.

5454

Every act of a God-lover
Reminds him
That God alone
Is the sleepless Performer.

5455

Close your eyes
Not to imagine, but to feel,
That God’s Compassion-Eye
Is playing
Inside your heart-garden.

5456

Only a sincere seeker
Knows that God’s Heart
Is in his heart,
And nowhere else.

5457

He has stretched his empty hands
Towards Heaven.
Therefore, God’s Pride in him
Has immensely increased.

5458

Since you have stopped praying
For the wrong things,
The right things are automatically
Within your easy reach.

5459

Soulful poise
Means a powerful life
Energised by the heart.

5460

A genuine seeker
Will always have the capacity
To build a meditation-bridge
To Heaven.

5461

Each human being
Is temporarily, not permanently,
Attached to this temptation-world.

5462

You have to rely
On God’s Promise first
Before you rely
On your life of hope.

5463

A Smile from God today
Will illumine
Your tomorrow’s doubt-life.

5464

God the Compassion
Is so powerful.
Therefore
God the Justice
Cannot approach me.

5465

Every day
Prepare yourself to fight
Against ignorance-night.
Otherwise
Your life will be
An agonising frustration.

5466

The shortcomings
Of the attachment-life
Are no match for the perfection
Of a detachment-heart.

5467

God loves you
To such an extent
That He even ignores
Your mind’s widespread suspicion-night.

5468

His prayerful life
Is the beauty
Of his heart’s enlightenment-smile.

5469

A heart-ache
Can definitely be cured
By the soul-medicine.

5470

Rumours
Are quite often reluctant
To deliver good news.

5471

If you can live
In the nest of your soul-bird,
You are bound to hear
God’s Clarion Call.

5472

If your heart has
Perfect poise,
Then your life will have
Crowning confidence.

5473

Earth was laughing below,
Heaven was laughing above
When he declared
That he could do without God.

5474

A life of doubt
Is nothing but
The doctrine of discouragement.

5475

God’s whispered Benediction
Has helped him reach
The pavilion of Heaven.

5476

Believe me,
Once upon a time
I, too, was a weak seeker
Like you,
If not worse.

5477

If you deliberately live
In the jungle of the mind’s despair,
God is not going to hire you
To take care of His Heart-Garden.

5478

He never thought
That God
Could ever be so important
In his life.

5479

My Lord Supreme,
Will there ever be a time
When I shall be able
To make You proud of me?

5480

An unguarded moment
Is the beginning
Of life’s unmistakable death.

5481

When the mind stops talking,
The heart starts dreaming
And life starts blossoming.

5482

A heart-champion
Cheerfully meets
The teeming challenges
Of the desire-life.

5483

Each soulful thought
Is a direct representative
Of your perfect illumination-soul.

5484

To see the Compassion-Eye
Of God,
What you need
Is an open heart-window.

5485

Even my soul admires
Your great long jump
From your mind
To your heart.

5486

The key
To a sky-meditation
Is to become
A sea-aspiration.

5487

My inner surrender gives me
Instant relief.
My outer smile gives me
Immediate belief.

5488

I cannot afford to have
One thing in my life:
The sleep of lethargy.

5489

He himself does not know
Why he always so willingly surrenders
To his lower vital attacks.

5490

God does not want your aspiring heart
To be ruined.
So since you have made your doubting mind
Your best friend,
God has kept your aspiring heart
Inside His own.

5491

You fool!
You want to rely on yourself,
Refusing God’s Satisfaction-Hunger
In you.

5492

Becoming a perfect instrument
Of God
Is so difficult
Because giving up
Is so easy.

5493

Now that you have regained
Your old dependence on God,
You are bound to become
Once more happy.

5494

God does not want
Your life to die.
He wants your heart
To live for Him.

5495

You have seen so many times
That others have lost
In the battlefield of life
By thinking.
Why, then, do you indulge
In thinking?

5496

Not the old heart of fear
But the new heart of courage only
Can give God a warm welcome.

5497

To please God
I claim God the Creator.
To please God
I do not blame God the creation.

5498

God has already arrived
To attend your mind’s
Gorgeous funeral.

5499

If you have
A sincere aspiration-heart,
You cannot be struck
By desire-lightning.

5500

You do not have to know
Everything about everybody.
You just have to know
One thing about one person:
God’s Love for you
Is unconditional.
