1.

My rose-road.
     My lotus-home.

2.

The rose-smile
         of the West
       I have.

3.

The lotus-tears
          of the East
        I am.

4.

The beauty
       of a rose
purifies my
    mind-jungle.

5.

The fragrance
    of a rose
    beautifies my
       heart-garden.

6.

In the morning,
  the roses
  are the lightning smiles
  of my soul.

7.

In the evening,
            the roses
are the bleeding tears
     of my heart.

8.

When I see a rose
with my aspiration heart,
   I immediately feel
        that I am
     very close to God.

9.

When I see a rose
with my dedication life,
   I spontaneously feel
       that I am
   a choice child of God.

10.

May my
 heart-rose
 never be
      surrounded by
    my mind-thorns.

11.

Each rose petal
             is at once
  the eagerness of my heart
    and the enthusiasm
         of my life.

12.

Thorns do their duty
        powerfully:
 they protect the roses.

13.

Roses do their duty
      blessingfully:
 they liberate the thorns.

14.

The purity-life
 a rose has.

15.

The divinity-breath
     a rose is.

16.

Indeed,
    a rose and a lotus
   are extremely beautiful,
   but the gratitude-tears
        of our hearts
 are infinitely more beautiful.

17.

Each rose has
     three special names:
God's Vision-Eye,
  God's Compassion-Heart,
 God's Satisfaction-Life.

18.

The outer rose
     blesses my eyes
       immediately.

19.

The inner rose
 illumines
      my heart
   sleeplessly.

20.

Unlike human beings,
     no rose needs
 qualification or
   recommendation.

21.

Each rose
     is a
master-key
to God's Heart-Kingdom.

22.

My desire-mind
     has no access
 to my heart-garden.

23.

My aspiration-heart is
 far beyond the snare
  of my mind-forest.

24.

When I pray,
               I become
a hope-fountain-rose.

25.

When I meditate,
       I become
a promise-mountain-rose.

26.

Twice my stupidity
reigns supreme:
          once when
        I look for a rose
             inside my
          mind-desert,
        and once when
    I neglect to look
      for a rose
inside my heart-garden.

27.

My mind’s
           doubt-weight
    I lose completely
   the moment I enter
into my heart's rose-garden.

28.

O my lotus-heart,
   only because of you
 I see God's smiling Face
        everywhere.

29.

O my lotus-heart,
     because of
your exquisite fragrance,
  I am able to become
    a God-dreamer.

30.

My heart-garden
      deeply enjoys
  the company of
      two guests:
 compassion and sympathy.

31.

As beauty and fragrance
    are inseparable,
even so my heart-lotus
  and my soul-breath
 are inseparable.

32.

Alas,
will my Indian heart
     ever be as pure
  as an Indian lotus?

33.

Alas,
    will my Indian heart
      ever be able to see
   the compassion-beauty
  of an Indian lotus
     in each human being?

34.

Each lotus
  is the
fondest child,
    greatest pride
 and sweetest smile
     of an Indian goddess.

35.

The discovery
   of my
  Indian heart:
      no Indian lotus,
    no Indian goddess.

36.

My heart-lotus tells me
          that I am not
    my mind's dark and
     starless night.

37.

My heart-lotus tells me
            that I am
    my soul's
 illumination-adorer.

38.

Each petal
     of my heart-lotus
reveals a unique message
      from the Beyond.

39.

Each petal
 of my heart-lotus
           receives
  a special boon from
God's Compassion-Eye.

40.

Each petal
of my heart-lotus
    is a humble prayer
  of my heart.

41.

My mind's
ingratitude-weeds
     disappear
  the moment
       I enter into
   my heart's lotus-garden.

42.

The lotus-life
   sings
     inside
my tearful heart-nest.

43.

The lotus-life
          dances
        inside
     my blissful
soul-kingdom

.

44.

My lotus-heart bloom
       expedites
 the arrival of God's Hour.

45.

I call it
my lotus-life.
    God calls it
my heart's purity-breath.

46.

The
   aspiration heart-lotus
    knows
no venom-desire-fruits.

47.

My
 aspiration heart-lotus
    loves me immensely.
 Therefore I do not
    have to go
  to the desire-market
          anymore.

48.

A great
mind-tower
    is empty
  of both flower-beauty
     and flower-fragrance.

49.

A pure
heart-flower
 is the height of beauty
         and the depth
  of fragrance.

50.

Today
   is my
  today's
   hope-flower.

51.

Tomorrow
   will be
  my tomorrow's
   promise-fruit.

52.

God the Lover
 and God the Beloved
 sleeplessly love to play
 hide and seek
 inside humanity's
aspiration-garden.
