Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 10

Return to the table of contents

901.

Every soul from ant to angel
Carries only one essential message:
God's sleepless and breathless Victory.

902.

God's Compassion
Is always hungry
For our heart-tears.

903.

The love which seeks
No reward
Is God's peerless Pride.

904.

My aspiration-empty mind
Is ruthlessly shackled
By the iron chain of world-desires.

905.

My Lord,
Do give me the capacity
To enjoy the fragrance
Of my sleepless surrender-life.

906.

There is only one ultimate solution:
Love God the Creator
And serve God the creation.

907.

The bliss of the heart
And the pleasure of the mind
Are not at all the same thing.
They are like North Pole and South Pole.

908.

May my heart's aspiration-cry
Make friends
With sleepless nights.

909.

Each time I have a deep meditation,
I free myself
From earthly attachment-pains.

910.

My soul's
Favourite instrument
Is my heart-violin.

911.

I do not need
A freedom-loving soul.
What I need is
A peace-blossoming heart.

912.

A truth-seeker's only concern
Is his constant
God-satisfaction.

913.

Love
Self-giving and unconditional
Is the only love
That God proudly treasures.

914.

God's Compassion-Eye
Embodies God's all-loving
And all-fulfilling Smile.

915.

No thrill is as illumining
And as fulfilling
As one's own self-transcendence-thrill.

916.

When a seeker's life
Becomes empty of hope,
His heart's God-realisation-cry ends.

917.

I do not want to be
An independent mind.
I want to be
A God-dependent child.

918.

Two friends
Who consciously and proudly love each other:
Desire and bondage.

919.

A perfection-life
Is indeed living
A philosophy of the Beyond.

920.

If you do not have a searching mind
And a crying heart,
Then your life will be shrouded
In veils of illusion and delusion.

921.

God's Heart
And God's Heart-School
Are open
To all and sundry.

922.

My heart's God-longing tree
Must grow high and wide
At every moment.

923.

A satisfaction-heart
Belongs equally
To both Heaven and earth.

924.

My enthusiasm-mind
Must become once more young
To sing and dance with God's
All-illumining and all-fulfilling Heart.

925.

How can a God-willingness-heart
Be empty
Of God-manifestation-strength?
No, it is impossible.

926.

Today I will make a huge effort
To unite my inner-world smiles
And my outer-world tears.

927.

My self-effacement
Is another name
For my God-enlightenment.

928.

My mind's
Misunderstanding-nightmare
Has shaken my world
To its foundations.

929.

I assure my aspiration-heart
That there can never be any shortage
Of God-Peace-supplies.

930.

Heart's gratitude
And life's surrender
Are two infrequently trodden paths.

931.

God's Compassion-Eye
Enjoys its authority
Over God's Justice-Hand.

932.

A surrender-heart
Completes the Heaven-climbing journey
In half the usual time.

933.

The heart is always
A promise-fulfilling God-satisfaction-student
In life's aspiration-dedication-school.

934.

An unconditional surrender-life
Is always blessed with a plethora
Of God-manifestation-opportunities.

935.

Long before God's choicest Son,
Peace,
Arrives for good in the earth-arena,
The unwillingness of the mind must resign
On the grounds of old age and incapacity.

936.

I do not blame anybody on earth
For not enjoying
The frightening anecdotes
Of my doubting mind.

937.

God commands my heart
Not to take any service
From my God-displeasing mind.

938.

God lovingly and proudly
Takes my surrender-heart
Into His Confidence-Delight.

939.

Is there any human mind
That is not a victim-slave
Of expectation-master?

940.

There was a time
When I was a great friend
Of my doubt-specialist-mind.
Now I am proud to be
The most intimate friend
Of my faith-specialist-heart.

941.

O my mind,
When are you going to stop gathering
Dangerous world-gossip-thorns?

942.

The heart of Mother-Earth
Lives always in anticipation
Of the arrival of God's
Peace-Infinity.

943.

My heart's gratitude
Must pervade each and every aspect
Of my life.

944.

Like my soul,
My heart also accepts God's Will
As eternally indisputable.

945.

God's Compassion-Eye
And God's Perfection-Life
Are not different.
They are one and the same.

946.

In the spiritual life
The obedience of a oneness-heart
Is of supreme importance.

947.

My heart's mounting cries
Have gladdened God's Heart
Far beyond my mind's
Imagination-flight.

948.

God's Justice-Hand
Can abandon my disobedience-mind,
But not God's Compassion-Eye —
Never!

949.

My heart's sleepless
God-satisfaction-cry
Has liberated me from my mind's
Earthbound fear.

950.

The beauty and fragrance
Of an aspiration-heart
Far surpasses all.

951.

O my doubting mind,
No matter how many times you criticise
My ever-blossoming heart,
You cannot decrease the beauty and fragrance
Of my heart-flower.

952.

O insecurity,
O jealousy,
O impurity,
I am determined
To conquer you all
Before I make
My final God-satisfaction-journey.

953.

O my complete God-surrender-heart,
Your perfect perfection-life
Is within your easy reach.

954.

God and God's Compassion-Eye
Have entered into my mind-poison
To transform my mind-poison
Into God's own Heart-Nectar.

955.

The path of the surrender-heart
Is always the right path
For each and every aspiring soul.

956.

God and Heaven have chosen this day
To bless my life
With the beauty and fragrance
Of an unconditionally surrendered breath.

957.

God was, God is
And God will forever remain
The loving Companion
Of my heart's soaring hopes.

958.

My peace-loving heart-book
God has read many times
From cover to cover.

959.

My God-manifestation-task
Has been assigned
By the Absolute Lord Himself.

960.

When ignorance begins
To talk about the truth,
Run away as fast as possible!

961.

Gratitude and surrender
Are two transient visitors
To this earth-planet.

962.

It seems that God
Will never be tired of praising
My aspiration-heart
And my surrender-life.

963.

As it is simply impossible
For my heart not to meditate,
Even so is it impossible for God
Not to forgive.

964.

When my mind
Wants to tell God a few stories,
God says that He has no time.
When my heart
Wants to sing its heart-songs,
God immediately listens
With rapt attention.

965.

God drove His Compassion-Heart-Car
At full speed
To save my aspiring heart
From my doubting mind.

966.

When my heart's hope-buds
Begin to flower,
My life will be blessed
With unfathomable happiness.

967.

My heart's failure-cries
God's Ears may not hear,
But His Heart will definitely hear.

968.

Neither God nor I
Shall ever mourn the loss
Of my mind's ignorance-night.

969.

When I live in my mind,
I want God's Presence here and now
Only for me.
When I live in my heart,
I want God's Presence
Not only here, but also there and everywhere,
And for all.

970.

If you consider yourself to be
A supremely chosen child of God,
Then you must keep all your God-secrets
As your most precious possessions.

971.

Yesterday I was
A God-inspiration-mind.
Today I am
A God-aspiration-heart.
Tomorrow I shall be
A God-dedication-life.
The day after tomorrow I shall be
A God-manifestation-breath.

972.

O my heart, be careful.
The suspicion-mind's darkness
Can easily eclipse
Your aspiration-sun.

973.

Let the sorrow
Of your purity-heart
Be the source
Of your progress-delight.

974.

I am so proud of my mind
Because it no longer cherishes
Any desires.

975.

This is no empty boast:
God has given me the capacity
To sit at His Forgiveness-Feet.
I shall prove it by my actions.

976.

Unconditional surrender
Earns instant recognition
From the Lord Supreme.

977.

My suspicion-mind
And my aggression-vital
Both are hurled into the very abyss
By my Heaven-climbing aspiration-heart.

978.

Poor God!
He never thought
His Compassion-Heart-Telephone
Would ring incessantly.

979.

Only a pure and self-giving heart
Can hear God-Melodies
From God Himself.

980.

Each time
My aspiration-heart breathes,
It breathes in
God's Love-Fragrance.

981.

The meditation of the soul
Can synthesise and harmonise
The mind and the heart.

982.

When I pray to God
For His own Victory,
He blesses me with a beauty-garland
Of divine fragrance.

983.

A mind devoid of doubt
Is God's next-door neighbour.
A heart full of faith
Is a member of God's immediate Family.

984.

He who listens
To the earthbound mind
Will never be invited to participate
In God's Cosmic Game.

985.

My Lord,
You can blame me,
You can sue me,
But please, please
Do not forget to use me.

986.

If your heart telephones God,
His Line will never give your heart
A busy signal.

987.

Day in and day out
I pray to my Lord Supreme
For the collapse of my mind's
Unfounded authority.

988.

A self-serving seeker
Is indeed an utter failure
In the world of aspiration.

989.

Those who do not believe in fate
Will sooner or later find
That their fate is inescapable.

990.

When I live in my God-doubting mind,
I fail to possess
Even a glimmer of sweetness-hope.

991.

May my heart
Sleeplessly and breathlessly be bound
To my Lord Supreme's Compassion-Feet.

992.

My heart-room's light
Shines constantly
For the transformation of my mind.

993.

Not anything else
But God's Compassion-Magnet-Eye
Has drawn me close, closer, closest
To Him.

994.

O my mind,
Make your speech egoless.
Then everyone
Will appreciate, admire and adore you.

995.

Each soul
Is born to illumine.
Each heart
Is born to love.
Each mind
Is born to search.
Each life
Is born to serve.

996.

My mind wants to become
A miracle-monger.
My heart wants to become
A God-dreamer,
A God-lover
And a God-achiever.

997.

God has bound my heart
Not with His omnipotent Power
But with His omnipresent Love.

998.

O my mind,
Can you not see that you have become
The shocking betrayal
Of your God-manifestation-promise
On earth?

999.

My heart's willingness
Shall always be equal
To any world-assignment.

1000.

God deeply loves my gratitude-heart,
But He loves
My cheerfully unconditional surrender-life
Infinitely more.
