Never puts me under daily pressure.
It only helps me become
Every day
The rising dawn.

51.

The peak performance
Of my religion
Shall be the establishment
Of world-harmony,
Both in thoughts and deeds.

52.

My religion
Is not only in search of excellence
In other religions,
But also has discovered uniqueness
In each and every religion.

53.

Always wants me to turn up

To limp.

63.

How to walk through
All my life-attacking
Ignorance-arrows.

64.

The name of my religion
Is
Neither supremacy-peak
Nor argument-volcano.

The name of my religion
Is
The beauty of a prayer
From below
And
The fragrance of God-intimacy
From Above.

66.

My religion
Is
A constant, far-off,
God-worshipping and man-inspiring
Whisper of my soul's voice.

67.

The belief of my religion
In all religions
Is
A crystal-clear mountain-reality.

68.

My religion throbs
Not only in boundless space,
But also in the God-blossoming face
Of each and every human being.

69.

God has placed
His Infinity's Patience
On the two wide shoulders
Of my religion.

70.

My religion
Has discovered God's Footsteps
Not in the vastness of the blue sky,
But in the world-oneness
Of my snow-white heart.

71.

My religion

Extremely significant:
When the mind's obduracy goes,
The heart's ecstasy blossoms.

72.

My religion
Every day wants me to buy
Happily and proudly
God-appliances
For my heart-office.

73.

Every day
My religion wants me to be
The joy of my soul's
Sweet and strong
God-manifestation-promises.

The heart-eye of my religion

Sees a brighter divinity
On the horizon.

Sleeplessly and breathlessly,
Because God is watching
From around the corner.

76.

And
That He does not have
A furrowed brow of disapproval.

77.

My religion

A very special prayer:
"O my Transcendental Beloved
Absolute Supreme,
Do teach me how I can ever make You
Proud of me."

78.

From my religion
I have learnt how to become
The morning God-worshipping tears
And
The evening God-satisfying smiles.

79.

My religion
Is
The secret and sacred armour
Of light and delight-warriors
Against
Ignorance-night.

80.

My religion
And all other religions
Must pay tremendous attention
To serve society for its improvement.

81.

My religion
And all the religions of the world
Have to sow the peace-seed
For a reality-tree.

82.

The fulfilment of the outer beauty
Comes from the fragrance
Of the inner Source:
"I say the whole earth
And all the stars in the sky
Are for religion's sake."

- Walt Whitman

83.

I have the selfsame prayer
For my religion
And all other religions as well:
"Speed forth,
O religions of the world,
Upon the star-strewn path
To illumine the life
Of humanity."

84.

May the followers
Of my religion
And all religions
Have the tranquillity
Of a worry-free life.

85.

Every day
I am blossoming and growing
In the faith-blossoming garden
Of my religion-heart.

86.

God never asks
My religion
For its glorious
Life-history.

87.

God asks
My religion
Only for its soulful
Life-song.

88.

God has abundantly blessed me
And
My religion
To be always on the road
Of His very special Will.

89.

Not only my religion,
But all the true religions
Have come to the same conclusion:
God has made His Life
The eternal and infinite
Forgiveness-Fountain.

90.

In the mind-jungle
Of my religion,
I hear the thunder-roar
Of God's Will.

91.

In the heart-garden
Of my religion,
I hear the sweetness-flute
Of God's Will.

92.

When I observe
Happily and proudly
All my religion-duties,
God welcomes me to enjoy
The fellowship of the angels
And archangels.

93.

When my religion
And I together
Bend our heads to Mother Earth,
God says to us:
"Come, come, My Heart-Home
Is expecting you."

94.

The haughtiness of my head
Fails,
But the humility of
My religion
Succeeds always
In reaching God's Lotus-Feet.

95.

My religion
Tells me that each moment
Is a God-moment.
Therefore, we must carefully
Cling to it.

96.

In the God-loving tears
Of my religion,
I achieve and become
Infinity's peace.

97.

In the God-smiles
Of my religion,
I achieve and become
Immortality's freedom.

98.

My religion
Equally values
The transcendental God-realisation
And
The universal God-manifestation.

99.

My religion
Lovingly and cheerfully
Bows to all the other religions,
For each religion
Is a direct God-representative
Here on earth.

100.

From all great religions
I have learnt something
Unique.

101.

Hinduism
Has taught me the art
Of tolerance, silence, poise and peace.

102.

"Know thyself" —
This is the very breath
Of Hinduism.

103.

Hinduism has told me
There is only one way to enjoy life,
And that is through renunciation.

104.

"Lead me from untruth to Truth,
Lead me from darkness to Light,
Lead me from death to Immortality" -
This Hindu prayer has given me
My mind's illumination-height,
My heart's satisfaction-depth
And
My life's liberation-length.

105.

The Vedic seers of Hinduism
Saw the universal beauty of life
And became
The transcendental fragrance
Of its breath.

106.

"Infinity is that, Infinity is this.
From Infinity, Infinity came
Into existence.
From Infinity, when Infinity
Is taken away,
Infinity remains the same" —
This is, indeed, the pinnacle-height
That Hinduism has reached
To awaken, love and serve humanity.

107.

Hinduism says,
"O my brothers and sisters
Of the world,
As I feel safe in you,
So do I hope
That you will feel safe in me."

108.

Buddhism
Has taught me how to be
Inseparably one
With infinite Compassion
And
Shed sleepless tears
For the suffering humanity.

109.

Buddhism says
Mortification is not the right way
To achieve enlightenment.

110.

Buddhism says:
"Extremity serves no real purpose;
Follow the middle path.
There is no difference between
Man and man.
Cruelty against animals
Is the height of ignorance-life.
For liberation, forsake all allurements.
Desire-life is synonymous
With bondage-night."

111.

Buddhism
Blesses me with the message
Of the ever-transcending Height
And
Ever-deepening Depth.

112.

Christianity
Has taught me how to acquire
The art of God-surrender
And world-forgiveness.

113.

Christianity
Is a missionary religion
Par excellence.

114.

Simplicity, kindness
And forgiveness -
These three are
The most powerful branches
Of the life-tree of Christianity.

115.

"The Kingdom of Heaven
Is within you" —
This supreme discovery of Christianity
Is both birthless and deathless.

116.

Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount
Is Eternity's
Unparalleled source of inspiration
For the aspiring humanity.
Mother Earth cried through his heart.
Father Heaven smiled through his eyes.

117.

Humanity is humanity's admiration-mind
For Jesus of Nazareth.
Humanity is humanity's worship-heart
For the Son of God.

118.

Islam
Has taught me how to acquire
The art of God-reliance
And God-sacrifice
In sleepless eagerness.

119.

Islam
Is the driving force nonpareil
In propagating
Equality-democracy-wisdom-light
All the world over.
This is the Islamic contribution
To mankind.

120.

The supreme message of Islam
Is:
"There is no God but Allah."

121.

Islam's great prayer:
"All praise be to God,
The Lord of all the worlds,
The Merciful, the Compassionate,
The Master of the Day of Judgement.
It is He who is wise,
He who is powerful.
Guide Thou us
On the Path of Righteousness,
The Path of those who rejoice in Thee,
Not on that of those who ignore Thee
And work injustice."

122.

Judaism
Has taught me
That the art of constant
God-remembrance
And
Earthly prosperity
Are veritable Blessings from God.

123.

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour
As thyself" —
Conscious, constant and sleepless
Heart-expansion
Judaism offers to mankind.

124.

Christianity and Islam came into being
From the very breath of Judaism
To shake
The ignorance-somnolence-life-tree
Of humanity.

125.

Love of God, service to God
And manifestation of God
Judaism was, is and forever shall be
In an unprecedented way.

126.

Jainism
Has taught me how to acquire
The art of breathless self-discipline
In the purest sense of the term
And
Concern not only for human beings
But for each and every being,
Even at the lowest status
Of the soul's evolution.

127.

Jainism tells me,
"No asceticism, no salvation!
Intense self-discipline
Is of paramount importance.
Not earthly gratification,
But Heavenly satisfaction!"

128.

Sufism
Has taught me
That the outer dance
Enraptures the Sufi seekers
And
The inner dance unifies,
Reveals and manifests
The Divinity of the lover
And the Beloved all at once.

129.

Islam is the flower-beauty
And
Sufism is the fruit-sweetness thereof.

130.

The message of Sufism is
Love, love, love.
Everything has love
And everyone is love.
Sufism embodies love unfathomable,
Ecstasy immeasurable.
Nectar-delight Sufism spreads all-where.

131.

Sufism plies its boat
Between sweetness-shore
And
Soulfulness-shore.

132.

My ever-blossoming gratitude-heart
I offer
To each and every religion,
While remaining a soulful singer
Of the synthesis of all religions.

133.

To my greatest sorrow,
The 20th Century has suffered
From unimaginable and unforgettable
Religion-bankruptcy.

134.

To my great joy and relief,
In the 21st Century,
The Mother Goddess of Peace
Will visit each and every earth-family
To whisper and inspire
The supreme necessity
Of a oneness-world-family.
Her persuasion of her children
Will be founded upon
Her all-disarming Smiles.
God-receptivity-beauty
And
God-gratitude-fragrance
Will cover the entire
Length and breadth of the world.
Tomorrow's humanity
And
Tomorrow's Divinity
Will not only have infinitely more faith
In each other,
But also work together
For humanity to arrive at the Heart-Door
Of the Absolute Supreme
And
For Divinity to ring its Victory-Bell
In the readiness, willingness
And
Eagerness-home
Of humanity.
