My Christmas-New Year-Vacation Aspiration-Prayers, part 42

Return to the table of contents

11

The outer appearance
Is not
The real life.


APR 3382. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 7 December 2005.

2

The deeper existence
Is
The pure and real life.

3

Peace of mind never comes
By not accepting
The world.

4

Peace of mind comes
By loving the world
And by becoming the world.

5

An unconditional God-lover
And God-server
Is the real cynosure
Of all human eyes.

6

God’s Pride
Is not
In the mind-book-volumes.

7

God’s Pride
Is
In the heart-booklet.

8

Each heart has the capacity
To be the joy and pride
Of the Universal Life.

9

I always love to be
In the audience
And not an actor.

10

God-actors
Are born actors
And not man-made.

112

Nobody can go to God
With weak faith.


APR 3392. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 8 December 2005.

12

This moment
My Lord is my heart’s Pilot.
Next moment
My Lord is my life’s Charioteer.

13

I keep my curious
And devoted ears
Always very close to God.

14

My soul, my heart and I
Every day
Plant hundreds of peace-trees
In my heart-garden.

15

When I peacefully sleep,
God lovingly watches
My sleep.

16

When it is a matter of strictness,
God does not know
How to calculate His strictness.

17

Anything that is divine
Has to be lived and relived
Indefinitely.

18

I love my Lord’s
Compassion-Assurance
More than anything else.

19

We are all
Heaven-sent first,
And then become
Earth-born realities.

20

A life-boat
Without aspiration-sails
Is a very sad
Failure-experience.

21

Ask not,
Want not —
Just become
Divinity’s child.

22

When I look down
To see man’s head,
I descend.
When I look up
To see my Lord’s Feet,
My life at once ascends
And transcends.

23

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
Is an antidote
To my faith-starvation-life.

243

To choose obedience
Is to choose the seeker’s
God-pleasing life.


APR 3405. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 9 December 2005.

25

To choose disobedience
Is the self-destruction
Of the spiritual life.

26

I just offer
My God-pleasing willingness.
God does the rest
Most kindly, most affectionately
And most happily.

27

Ego is either
The world-satisfaction-beggar
Or the world-attention-commander.

28

If you cherish
Wrong and undivine thoughts
In God’s Presence,
Then God can do nothing,
Absolutely nothing, for you.

29

Eagerness can easily
Cross over the fence
Of the opposition parties.

30

After joining the spiritual path,
If I cannot please my Master,
Then my Lord Supreme gets
The bitterest
Disappointment-experience.

31

Alas,
The outer sun
Has passed away.
To my greatest joy,
My inner sun will not leave me —
Never!

32

This morning
I smiled and smiled
At my Lord Supreme.
He said to me,
“My child,
Today you have given Me
The most marvellous day
Of My Life!”

334

God the Heaven-Founder
Says to me,
“My child,
Sleep with Me
And dream with Me.”


APR 3414. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 10 December 2005.

34

God the earth-Founder
Says to me,
“My child,
Work with Me
And work for Me.”

35

My ego-pride
Is totally obsolete.

36

To my greatest joy,
My expectation-construction
Is collapsing.

37

The fastest way
To arrive at God’s Palace
Is to start with surrender.

38

Although the mind
Is often dry,
It enjoys the gossip-world
Most surprisingly.

39

God’s most powerful Utterance
God will speak first.
Then my soul and my heart will speak.
Finally my mind will speak
Slowly, quietly and respectfully.

40

God always wants
The heart of purity
To start His Cosmic Play.

41

O my stupid mind,
There is no roundabout way
To fool God.

42

Love God
Sleeplessly.
Sing God-songs for God
Untiringly.
An unimaginable God-receptivity
You will be granted from Above.

435

Today
God’s every Breath
Is blessing my God-longing
Heart-cries.


APR 3424. These prayers were given in Pangkor Island, Malaysia — 13 December 2005.

44

Forever and forever
I have been
God-Infinity’s dream.

45

Today my life
Is forever changed!
How?
My Lord has placed
His Thunder-Feet
On my restless mind,
Wild vital and sleeping body.

46

Like God-disobedience,
God-deception also
Cannot be concealed.

47

God’s Forgiveness-Sun
Shines equally
For His good and bad children.

48

There is not
A single human being
Who does not need
God’s Compassion-Shelter.

49

Who is hungry
For God’s Justice-Light?
Not the body,
Not the vital,
Not the mind,
But only the heart
Is ready and hungry
For God’s Justice-Light.

50

I have heard
The Call
Of Infinity’s Silence.

51

A blossoming heart
Is
Exceedingly beautiful.

52

I want the mind to live
In a desolate,
Thickest and darkest
Forest-night,
Which it rightly deserves.

536

Any time is the best time
To see God,
To be at God’s Feet
And to talk to God
In the world of silence.
But to realise God,
God chooses a special Hour.
At His choice Hour
We realise Him.


APR 3434. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 14 December 2005.

54

My life’s most sacred place
Is my heart-temple.
It is there,
Where I meet with God,
That I get infinite joy.

55

O leisure-class seekers,
Each time you seek,
God sheds bitter tears.

56

I sing early in the morning.
My Lord says,
“Not enough, not enough!
Fly high
In the rainbow-morning-sky.”

57

Keep
Your aspiration-breath
Alive.

58

Keep
Your dedication-muscles
Active.

59

Keep
Your heart-prayers
Soulful.

60

My joy knows no bounds
That today I have re-established
My heart-connection
With my Lord Supreme.

61

Today
My Lord’s Love-Call
Is flooded
With Affection-Smiles.

62

When God hears
Our gratitude-songs,
He immediately starts
Smiling and dancing.

637

I try to please God
In Heaven.
I try to please God
On earth.
To please God on earth
Is infinitely more difficult
Than to please God in Heaven.


APR 3444. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 15 December 2005.

64

Every morning
I send an invitation card
To my Lord Supreme.
He reads the card immediately
And says that He is not ready
Nor am I ready
To meet together.

65

One God-Smile is enough
To change our life
If we really want it to.

66

Poor God!
He has nobody
To whom He can
Unburden His Heart.

67

Heart-temples teach us
How to be pure,
How to be loving
And how to be self-giving.

68

To be perfect in life
One does not need
A very, very long time.
One does not have to be on earth
Hundreds of years.

69

God wants a humility-heart
To stand first,
Before anybody else.

70

I spoke to the mountains.
They told me
That they would immediately
Send me
Their mountain-deep peace.

71

The world-peace-lovers
Must accumulate
Their peace-dreams
And place them
At the Feet of God.

72

The smiling souls
And the crying hearts
Start their journey together
And end their journey together.
