Return to the table of contents

11

I see my Lord dancing
Inside
His own Infinity’s Smile.


APR 3064. These prayers were given in Xian, China — 16 January 2005.

2

Light and Power together
Are most significant
Representatives of God
Here on earth.

3

Only the heart-eye
Does not have
The fear of death.

4

Life asks death
Many questions,
But death never answers.

5

When I stopped looking
At the face of expectation,
A mighty transformation
Took place in my life.

6

Knowledge-facts
Have to bow their heads
In humility
To wisdom-light.

7

Wisdom-light
Has to bow its head
In humility
To a fleeting Smile of God.

8

We can never imagine how strong
Are the walls
Of our mind’s inconscience.

9

My Lord’s invisible Eye
Is behind
His visible Smiles.

10

My Inner Pilot
Makes all the decisions
Of my outer life.

11

The mind-doubt-arrows
Cannot penetrate
The silence of the heart.

12

Only the aspiration-fire
Can burn down
The mind’s ignorance-walls.

132

I must love
The unloved ones —
I must.


APR 3076. These prayers were given in Xian, China — 17 January 2005.

14

Curiosity
Is
A progress-extinguisher.

15

A self-giving heart
Is
Beauty unparalleled.

16

Faith has the capacity
To pass through
The darkest tunnels.

17

Pure humility
Is absolutely necessary
To make progress
In the spiritual life.

18

A desire-life,
Indeed,
Is an abysmal abyss-life.

19

Intellectual excellence
I want not.

20

Spiritual excellence
I want,
I need,
At every moment.

21

When our surrender is complete,
We are assured by God Himself
Of our certain victory.

22

No enemy
Can forever remain
Infallible.

23

My Lord tells me
That my life’s perfection-hours
Are fast approaching me.

24

There are no real surprises
In the self-giving life.

25

Pure thoughts
Have enormous capacity
To turn our vices
Into virtues.

26

We want to manifest
The Divine within us.
Alas, we are manifesting
The animal within us
Instead.

27

The present-day life
Is made of
Superficialities.

28

God breaks the sad news:
I must work very hard
To make my inner progress.

29

A good thought
Can easily champion
A good cause for us.

30

My heart-room
Is full of
God-dreams.

31

We must discard
All our regrets —
Past and present.

32

Alas,
I do not know
When the face of doubt
Will fade away.

333

The desire-river
Has no destination.


APR 3096. These prayers were given in Xian, China — 19 January 2005.

34

Each good thought
Carries
My aspiration-seeds.

35

Our mind-forest
Is empty of
God-Smile.

36

Desire-life we had.
What we need now
Is the speed of aspiration-life.

37

God and I treasure
Our whisper-messages.

38

Cheerfulness
Is the very beginning
Of a fulness-life.

39

A very long distance
Separates our dream-heart
From our reality-life.

40

God-obedience
Reminds us
Of our roots.

41

God-obedience
Gives us wings
To fly in the sky
Of God’s Love.

42

I cannot recollect
When I started walking
Along God’s Road,
And I have no idea
When it will ever end.

434

I always live
In between
My prayerful tears
And my soulful smiles.


APR 3106. These prayers were given in Xian, China — 21 January 2005.

44

Our God-realisation
Cannot remain a far cry
If our prayers and meditations
Breathe in
Simplicity, sincerity,
Intensity and immensity.

45

Do not delay,
Even for a fleeting moment,
When God asks you
To do something.
If you delay,
That means you have reached
The height of your stupidity
And the length of your audacity.

46

Everything else
Can be divided,
But not our devotion.
Our devotion
Has to be undivided.

47

My heart feels miserable
The day it fails to keep
Its closest connection
With my soul.

485

My Lord,
I do not know
Why You are allowing me
To enjoy
A sleeping life.


APR 3111. These prayers were given in Huangshan, China — 25 January 2005.

49

Aspiration has to be
Totally empty
Of unwillingness.

50

Sympathy has to be
The living philosophy
Of each seeker’s life.

51

As God’s Compassion
Is infinite,
Even so, I must have
Receptivity boundless.

52

Anything that God gives us
In the inner life
Is always free of charge.

53

God takes only
One religion seriously,
And that religion
Is our love of God.

54

My heart-devotion
Imports all the divine qualities
From Heaven.

55

We have not come into the world
To renounce anything.
We have come into the world
To announce only one thing:
God’s constant Victory.

56

Real aspiration
Is an ever-climbing flame
From the heart.

57

Selfless service
And intense prayer —
There is no difference.

58

Each moment
Is a God-sent opportunity

For us to become
God’s supremely choice instruments.

59

God does not come alone.
When He comes to visit us,
His brighter than the brightest Smile
Accompanies Him.

60

Without a God-obedience-mind,
We cannot go very far.

61

God-realisation
Is neither an empty book
Nor a sealed book.

62

My heart-cries
Are very strong
Godward pulls.

63

My soul-smiles
Are very powerful
Ignorance-pushes.

64

My heart-road
Is paved with God-devotion
From the beginning to the end.

65

Only genuine seekers
Are blessed with God’s
Heart-telephone line.

66

Silence and peace
Every day visit
Each other.

67

To be always on God’s side
Is not an act of blindness,
But of an ever-blossoming
Wisdom-heart.

686

I just love the way
My heart loves God,
Thinks of God
And prays to God.


APR 3131. These prayers were given in Huangshan, China — 27 January 2005.

69

We are all eternal seekers,
But unfortunately
We are not aware of it.

70

Each inner seeking
Needs
A new inner way.

71

I long for experiences
In my Heavenward journey.

72

The ancient pilgrims
Had a most sublime goal.

73

The modern travellers
Do not care for any goal.

74

God wants every seeker
To be his own
Pathfinder.

75

Humanity can move forward
Fast, very fast,
If it can listen to the dictates
Of the Divinity within.

76

I am a reader
Of only inner books:
Love, devotion, surrender.

77

We can make our heart rich,
Very rich,
By becoming a flood
Of God-tears.
