My mind
Does not like duty
At all.


APR 3524. These prayers were given in Kuantan, Malaysia — 23 December 2005.

2

My heart
Not only loves duty
But also is eager
To have every day
A newly added duty.

3

The purity of my heart
And God’s smiling Eyes
Are always found together.

4

My soul-bird sings and sings
Only one song:
Love God and please God.

5

When the heart speaks,
The mind, the vital and the body
Must give full attention
To the heart.

6

Every day my heart’s cries
Must go up very speedily
And not lag behind
The speed of the previous day.

7

Selflessness
Awakens and feeds
All the time
The tears of the heart.

8

Only silence and peace
Can transform
Restless and useless mind-clamour.

My Lord’s Happiness-Eye
At every moment
I try to devour.

My God-hunger was born
In my Lord’s soothing
Cradle-Smiles.

Ignorance-mouth
Devours everything,
Including blazing fire.

Will never take birth
In the mind’s
Desire-forest.

Will gladly take birth
In the heart’s
God-smiling garden.

Most dearly
Mother Earth’s tears
God’s Heart cherishes.

Meditation and peace
Deeply enjoy
Their divine conversation.

We are not compelled
To lead a spiritual life,
But if happiness we want,
We must shun ignorance-night.

My Lord,
You must keep Your Promise:
You will never leave my heart.

My life-river
And my heart-boat —
They live for each other.

Is my soul’s
Joy-gathering nest.

Follow God’s Feet.

Of self-giving effort,
He is bound to succeed.

My Lord,
Do give me a Smile of Yours
So that I can pass through
My mind’s thickest
And darkest clouds.

No mind
Can ever break through
The power of silence.

Every day
May a deathless beauty and light
Dawn upon my aspiring heart.

Is first
On God’s priority list.

A sleepless self-giver.

My occasional thought
But my sleepless thought.

Is an unmistakable way
To reach God’s Golden Shore.

That God’s Heart
Is not accessible?
God’s Heart
Is a wide-open door.

35

My question is:
Who is God?
God’s Answer is:
“My child,
Some of you are budding gods,
While others
Are blossoming gods.”

36

O seeker,
God wants you to accompany
His Eye and His Heart
From dawn to eve
Wherever He goes.

Nobody can ever dare to separate
God’s Compassion-Eye
From His Forgiveness-Heart.

The soul’s complete manifestation
Of God’s Light
Takes place only
Here on earth.

God never, never wants you
To be arrested
By ignorance-night!

God wants you
Only to be interested
In Him
All the time.

God wants to hear from me
My gratitude-heart-songs.

Is not only for Christmas.
He is for three hundred and sixty-five days
A year.

My soul and my heart.
Please take care of
Every moment of my life.

I came
From a higher world
To serve the world below.

Makes our world
Extremely sweet.

The privilege
Of being God’s servant
Cannot be fathomed.

The sweeter than the sweetest
Memories of Heaven
While I am on earth.

Welcomes only
The devotion-heart.

Are needed
To make the fastest progress
In spirituality.

In the battlefield of life,
God becomes His Madness-Eye
And Sadness-Heart.

Between my heart’s unshed tears
And my life’s shed tears.

Vehemently
That it has no room
In your life any more.

Here on earth
Who have given everything
To God.
I must try to mix with them.

I want to be awake
Around the clock
So that whenever God wants me,
I shall be all ready.

The inner cries
Have to be answered
Only by the inner world.

The God-denying mind
Builds and builds warships
To fight against
The divine forces.

The God-believing heart
Wants only a worship-boat
To invite God
To pilot the boat.

Earth has
Its stumbling feet.

Heaven has
Its whispering Protection.
