Two God-Amusement-Rivals: my Heart-Song-Beauty and my Life-Dance-Fragrance, part 4

Return to the table of contents

301.

An exorbitant possession-greed
Is destroying the world-joy.
Only renunciation-light
Can illumine the world.

302.

The Compassion-Delight-Embrace
Of my Lord Supreme
Is saving my life
At every moment.

303.

O my heart's aspiration-flame,
Do not waver any longer,
For I must realise
My Lord Beloved Supreme
Very soon.

304.

Alas,
Will this world ever be free
From the heavy chains
Of possession-greed?

305.

Do not stir up the mud of the past
If you want to be illumined
By tomorrow's dawn.

306.

A doubt-enjoyer-mind
Is bound to fail
Quickly.

307.

O mind, if you live
In the misery-thickets of doubt,
You will never be able to succeed
In any walk of life.

308.

What I need every day
Is a procession
Of aspiration-dedication-activities
To please my Lord Beloved Supreme.

309.

Soon, very soon,
My dream-building heart
Will defeat
My reality-destroying mind.

310.

If you love the rainbow-dawn
Of every opportunity-day,
Your heart will never suffer
From aspiration-shortage.

311.

God is more than eager
To crown your devotion
With His Infinity's Delight.
He is just waiting
For His choice Hour.

312.

Try to realise
That your God-obedience
Is your life's only
Safety-security.

313.

My Lord tells me
That if I have forgotten
How to cry for Him,
No harm.
But I must not forget
How to smile at Him.

314.

To please God
In God's own Way,
What I always need
Is a purity-fed love-heart.

315.

An unaspiring mind
And a sophisticated life
Will never have
An iota of satisfaction.

316.

Not your face,
But your heart
Decorate with smiles.
Then God will hasten
Towards you.

317.

A true seeker knows
That each moment
Is the very beginning
Of a newness-dawn.

318.

Surrender and gratitude
Are the two main pillars
Of my heart-temple.

319.

God can forgive,
God can tolerate,
But He never cherishes
An ignorance-bound life.

320.

Each time I have
A profound meditation,
My entire being beams
With a oneness-fulness-smile.

321.

Each time I have
A new divine thought,
I enter into a new realm
Of wisdom-light.

322.

Only a life
Of unconditional surrender
Can own a peace-home.

323.

My mind is a peace-robber.
My heart is a peace-dreamer.
My soul is a peace-bringer.
My God is the Peace-Distributor.

324.

What I desperately need:
My aspiration-heart-revival,
And nothing else.

325.

Another name
For dedication-decline
Is satisfaction-bankruptcy.

326.

God does not mind
Whether you are failure-prone
Or success-prone.
He wants you only to be
Surrender-satisfaction-prone.

327.

My Lord tells me
That I must not join my mind
When it sighs.
I must join my heart
When it flies.

328.

Oh what a futile waste of time
My life becomes
When I feel that I am self-sufficient
And not God-efficient!

329.

I tell my mind
That it must never underestimate
The abundant power
Of a disciplined life.

330.

If you want to hear the whispers
Of your Absolute Lord Supreme,
Then plant the seeds
Of unconditional surrender
In your heart-garden.

331.

If you first become
The choicest instrument of God,
Then it is easier to serve God
In God's own Way.

332.

My heart is more than ready,
More than willing,
More than eager
To remain at God's Feet
Forever and forever.

333.

If you can greet each moment
With your gratitude-heart,
Then God's Joy in your life
Will know no bounds.

334.

If you are not a God-lover,
Then you can never be
A silence-peace-discoverer.

335.

What my mind desperately needs:
A tiny molecule of hope.
What I sleeplessly need:
A giant God-manifestation-promise.

336.

O my mind,
Take God with you
Wherever you go.
You will not have any difficulty
In satisfying yourself.

337.

Life can change in an instant
If the heart is ready
To love and serve God
Unconditionally.

338.

A surrender-life
And a gratitude-heart
Are two flowers
On the same oneness-branch.

339.

O my Lord Supreme,
I really need
An all-engulfing solitude
To help me master
The slow, steady and gradual process
Of achieving perfect perfection.

340.

God before me
Is compassionate.
God behind me
Is perfectionist.

341.

What I need
Is a mind electrified
By a new inspiration-light.

342.

Desire-weight we can lose
If we sincerely follow
Aspiration-diet.

343.

God enjoys
More than anything else
My heart's devotion-nectar.
I need
More than anything else
God's Forgiveness-Feet.

344.

The mind's willingness
Immensely increases
The life's cheerfulness-flow.

345.

God wants me to run
With my heart's
Lightning-purity-speed,
And I am doing it.

346.

The God-prayers of each heart
Can and do nourish
Our life-roots.

347.

Soulfulness is the product
Of a rose-beauty-heart.
Fruitfulness is the product
Of a rose-fragrance-life.

348.

Everybody can peacefully coexist
If they have a God-loving heart
And a God-serving life.

349.

O my mind,
You are such a fool!
You always allow doubt
To plunder your inner wealth.

350.

To build a major highway
In God's Kingdom,
A surrender-life
Is a supreme necessity.

351.

My life's surrender-roadmap
Will definitely expedite
My life's journey
To God's highest Heaven.

352.

After winning a terrible fight
With my mind,
I am now at perfect peace.

353.

Success is a mind-game
That has a very short breath.
Progress is a heart-song
That never ends.

354.

Today I am enjoying
My soul's thrilling triumph
Over my mind's ignorance-titan.

355.

My aspiration-heart-door
Has a secret alarm system
To frighten away unwelcome
Thought-thieves.

356.

Every day I desperately need
A huge fire-extinguisher
For my mind's wildfire.

357.

Salvation
Lies in unity's multiplicity
And nowhere else.

358.

My God-faith
Is infinitely stronger
Than my failure-life.

359.

There is only one worthwhile discovery,
And that discovery is self-discovery.
Self-discovery thrills
Both God and me alike.

360.

My God-fears are fading fast
Because I have increased
My God-love immensely.

361.

Today's God-dreamers
Are tomorrow's world-lovers.
World-lovers eventually become
God's manifestation-fulfillers.

362.

Heaven is built on many
Love, affection and sacrifice-earth-actions.

363.

To desire is to receive
From the deception-world.
To aspire is to achieve
From the God-Kingdom.

364.

Our heart's vision
Is the fulfilment-promise
Of our soul.

365.

A peaceful man is always loved
By God's Compassion
And man's affection.

366.

Speed up, my mind,
Speed up and run
Past your hesitation-border.

367.

Each time I am happy,
I carry my heart
To new heights of illumination.

368.

It is far beyond
The utmost edge of possibility
For an unaspiring mind
To be genuinely happy.

369.

Even a doubting mind
Can be conquered
By a God-loving heart.

370.

Because of my unconditional surrender,
God has blessed me
With His Delight-flooded Breath.

371.

Aspiration-cries always ring
Most melodiously
In God's Heart-Garden.

372.

I went to God
To see God's boundless Palace.
God came to me
To build His Cottage-Heart-Home.

373.

May my surrender-life
And my gratitude-heart
Forever remain
My cheerful companions.

374.

Unlike ours, God's Vision
Needs infinitely more accomplishments
In order to approach satisfaction.

375.

Every micro-second of man's life
Man can offer
Either to God the Beautiful
Or to desire the ugly.

376.

May each prayer of mine
Be flooded with
Divinity's Hopes and Promises.

377.

In God's Cosmic Game,
Our aspiration-heart
Plays a part
Which nothing else can perform.

378.

God's Peace and God's Joy
Are the two travellers
Who tirelessly journey
To the extremities of the world.

379.

O seeker,
Be extremely careful!
When God-opportunities pass,
They are simply gone,
Gone forever.

380.

What God does not
And cannot accept:
My impurity-cherishing mind.

381.

When God punishes me,
He does so
Only as a last resort.

382.

Throw away your mind's
Ignorance-dust immediately,
Not with one hand,
But with both of your hands!

383.

You must muster
All your inner strength
To please God all the time
In your outer life.

384.

If you do not aspire,
An utter, inner failure-life
Is all you can expect.

385.

My Lord Supreme cherishes
My heart-blossom-dreams.
I cherish
My Lord Supreme's Nectar-Smiles.

386.

My pride knows no bounds,
For my heart's hope
Is at last beginning
To raise its head.

387.

With your mind's readiness,
Heart's eagerness
And life's self-givingness,
You can accomplish
Everything you want to.

388.

Before it is too late,
Let me once and for all
Surrender to God's Will
Happily and implicitly.

389.

Although a host of problems
Still remains unsolved,
I am extremely happy
That I am able to take shelter
At my Lord's Feet.

390.

What God has is Joy.
Where does He hide it?
He hides it
Inside my heart-garden.

391.

God enjoys chatting
With my gratitude-heart
Infinitely more than
With the cosmic gods.

392.

My Lord Supreme
Has happily and proudly installed
My aspiration-heart
Inside His Satisfaction-Heart-Home.

393.

My heart's eagerness
Prayerfully bows
To God's perfect Perfection.

394.

Hope and promise
Are two very old friends
Of God and man.

395.

Every morning
My Lord Supreme blessingfully awakens
All my heart-garden-birds.

396.

Nothing can be more beautiful
And nothing can be more fruitful
Than my gratitude-heart-blossoms.

397.

God Himself celebrates
With tremendous joy
My heart's mounting
Aspiration-flames.

398.

God lavishes on me
The enormous wealth of His Affection
When He sees and feels
That I live only for Him.

399.

God watches
With breathless eagerness
My fast-blossoming
Gratitude-heart-smiles.

400.

Yesterday
I was a budding God-dreamer.
Today
God has made me
A fully-blossomed God-lover.
