Flame-Goal. Daily meditations
January
January 1
God is not a thing to be achieved, but a thing to be.
January 2
To please God I am thoughtless.To please mankind I am speechless.
To please ignorance I am hopeless.
To please myself I am helpless.

January 8
Morality is preparatory to spirituality.Spirituality is preparatory to surrender.
Surrender is preparatory to union.
And what is this union?
Union is the flood of glowing light and flowing delight.
January 9
Desire alternates with aspiration.Light alternates with darkness.
Ignorance alternates with knowledge.
But there is something which does not alternate with anything.
It is our unconditionally surrendered oneness.
January 10
Man's perfection lies in the union of immensity and enormity in his aspiring heart and illumining soul.
January 11
Neither a mighty nor a puny action can dare to claim Love from God.It is desirelessness that has ever the right to claim Love from God.
January 12
My desire has given birth to 'I and mine'.My surrender has given birth to 'Thou and Thine'.
'I and mine' are more transitory than a rope of sand.
'Thou and Thine' are more permanent than the everlasting hills.
January 13
If you have much, give much.If you have little, give little.
But willingly, and not unwillingly.
To give unwillingly means to present the rose with numberless thorns.
To give willingly means to present only the rose.
January 14
I do not want to be a walking dictionary of the world.I want to be a fixed faith in the Unseen.
Mastery is not my goal.
My goal is my constant surrender to the Will of the Supreme.

Enough cannot satisfy our aspiring soul.Eternal Plenitude alone can.
January 16

January 23
Our face is the second edition of our action-books.
January 24
Experience is the food of the fool.Faith is the food of the wise.
January 25
Experience is the fruit of the past.Realisation is the fruit of the present.
Revelation is the fruit of the near future.
Manifestation is the fruit of the distant future.
January 26
The love that flies from the eyes is a fleeting breath.The love that flies from the heart's core has the breath of the Eternal.
January 27
We have a tremendous weapon to make God swim in the sea of tears.What is it?
It is our wild ignorance which is vaster than the vast and more insignificant than a feeble ant.
January 28
Opinion is a pen-knife.Conviction is a dart.
Vision is a naked sword.
January 29
Will is the dearest child of God.Thought is the poorest and the most blind son of God.

February 3
Love is sacrifice.Sacrifice is bloom and doom: bloom of the soul, doom of the ego.
February 4
Surrender is my pitcher full to the brim.
February 5
Imagination either devaluates or evaluates the Truth.Experience gives to Truth its due value.
Realisation is the Truth itself.

Today belongs to us.With it we can make our tomorrow possessed either by God or by Satan.
February 7
Jealousy is the step-daughter of love and the dearest sister of stupidity.

Perfection is the product of Eternity.
February 11
Divine confidence in oneself is the matchless sword made by God Himself.
February 12
The mother of experience is preparation.The son of experience is realisation.
February 13
The Master embodies.The disciple reveals.
The world benefits.
February 14
Don't try to be wise beyond your years.If you become wise beyond your years the younger generation will ridicule you; the older generation will not value you.
February 15
Transcend yourself; you will be able to garland God.Be yourself; God will garland you without fail.
February 16
Unbelief and ignorance are venial.Disbelief and obstinacy are detestable and unpardonable.
February 17
The mind offers me its experiment: the world is unreal.The heart offers me its experience: the world is real.
The soul offers me its realisation: the world is unreal for the weak, and real for the strong.
February 18
Think not.The more you think, the deeper will be your doom.
Fear not.
Surrender.
Surrender to the Will of God.
The dauntless spirit resides there.

Into the world I came,
To see Thy earthly Frame.

My foe is within and not without;It is desire, it is desire.
Its fire knows not how to expire,
Although I weep, although I shout.
February 23
Reason however proud and secureMust sadly fail our heart to cure.
Our core should be filled with faith sapphire:
Faith alone, the climbing knowledge-fire.
February 24
No need have I to plumb Thy Love.I know, I am Thy Bounty's dove.
February 25
The more we are mindful of others' promises the quicker we shall be forgetful of our own.
February 26
True consecration is nothing but the revelation of one's own hidden power.
February 27
The man with no experience is stone-blind.The man with experience possesses one eye.
The man who has had realisation has two eyes.
The man who cherishes union with the Supreme has three eyes.
The man who will be able to possess a divinized body will have four eyes; and all the four eyes will guide the four directions.
February 28
The real Guru is he who is the son of God and the slave of mankind.

Mental discipline is imperative.When the mind is disciplined, base thoughts disappear, elevating thoughts appear and reappear and, finally, they do not want to disappear.
May 31
When I am in the physical, the world attracts me and I tempt the world.When I am in the vital, I grasp the world and the world hates me.
When I am in the mind, I neglect the world and the world ignores me.
When I am in the heart, I love the world and the world embraces me.
When I am in the soul, I serve God in the world and the world cheerfully fulfils me.
