Silence speaks, part 9

Return to the table of contents

1.

Except for God
Nothing else matters.
Learn this truth
To be freed from earth-fetters.

2.

Keep your faith burning.
By your own inner light
You will soon reach your soul's
Ever-mounting height.

3.

If you do not try to make
Your self-indulgence-storm subside,
How can you expect to have
With God a satisfaction-ride?

4.

Allow not suspicion-arrows
To pierce your heart-shield.
God wants you to play with Him
In His Heart-Beauty's Field.

5.

Fly within,
And without fly.
Claim God's
Newness-Oneness-Sky.

6.

A cheerful heart
Knows no delay.
A fearful mind
Sees no bright day.

7.

"Heaven is totally blind!"
So says the mind of night.
"Heaven will someday be mine."
So says the heart of light.

8.

Daily meditate to eat
Your heart's peace-power-fill,
So the Lord Himself can share
With you His Oneness-Thrill.

9.

One day each heart will sit at the foot
Of the God-Oneness-Tree.
One day each life will drink its fill
Of God's Peace-Ecstasy.

10.

Every night I dream
Of God's Compassion-Light
And of His powerful Smile,
My heart's nectar-delight.

11.

My heart's Beloved Supreme,
Do You think I will ever find
What I long for from morn to eve —
A true temptation-free mind?

12.

Between my Lord Supreme
And my aspiration-heart
Never do I want to feel
The sting of ignorance-dart.

13.

The wisdom-light of the soul
Cannot be measured.
Both on earth and in Heaven
It must be treasured.

14.

You are now your life's
Slave-dependence-ignorance.
Your Lord wants you to claim
His own Freedom-Fragrance.

15.

My Lord Supreme, Your Flute
Is my heart's only solace-sun.
Because of its melody pure
The Heavenward race I shall run.

16.

All your climbing dreams are owned
By God's Compassion-Eye.
He grants your aspiration-heart
Ecstasy-moon, ecstasy-sky.

17.

O break your body-chains today.
Then it will not be long
'Til God begins to teach you
His Heavenly Ecstasy-Song.

18.

To reveal God-Divinity's Reality
I saw the light of day
And also to be His chosen Voice
In His Sun-Vision-Play.

19.

So divinely sweet and pure
Is your aspiration-cry
That it is dancing freely
In Heaven's Ecstasy-Sky.

20.

As long as you surrender to
Your vital's giant eye,
Your life on earth is doomed to be
Your soul's stupendous sigh.

21.

He who does not listen to
His gentle conscience-sound
In the world's dark quagmire
Is invariably found.

22.

Your dedication-life
Will disappear
If your mind does not stay
Pure and clear.

23.

My seeker-friend, please stop at once
Your homeward-flying soul.
It has not yet fulfilled on earth
Its high God-commanded role.

24.

If you can embrace your faith-life,
Your teeming doubts will die.
If you can conquer your lower self,
Your higher self will fly.

25.

If you live in your past,
You will cry in dark shadows.
If you live in your present,
You will dance in God-meadows.

26.

O lifeless man,
What can you give?
In nothingness-chasm
Or cave you live!

27.

Action and enthusiasm
Together live
In God's vast world
Of take and give.

28.

Remember, when impurity
Invades your life,
In no time it uses
Destruction-knife.

29.

If your aspiration leads you
To the gate of sleepless love,
It means the sure descent
Of God's Blessings from Above.

30.

God is eager to teach you
His Vision-Reality-Dance.
You just show Him openly
Your weakness-destruction-lance.

31.

Kindle every day and feed
Your aspiration-fire,
Or your useless life will be
Devoured by desire.

32.

Idleness never lives alone;
With it abides dark failure-night.
Action alone can save you with
Its bright all-conquering light.

33.

The outer moon shines
With nature's light.
The inner moon shines
With God's Delight.

34.

In God-Dawn awakens
My heart's aspiration-cry.
With God-Sun I enter
My life's liberation-sky.

35.

Each uncomely thought springs up
From the wasteland-mind
And is cherished there by man
The feeble failure blind.

36.

The mind-desert cannot escape
The flood of the heart-river.
The river inundates with songs
Of Oneness-Fulness-Giver.

37.

To discover who I truly am
Throughout the world I need not fly.
To satisfy this breathless quest
I open up my vision-eye.

38.

The conscious journey of the heart
Begins at God's choice Hour.
Its progress is inspired by
God's Satisfaction-Power.

39.

If your body's useless idleness
Does not disappear,
Then how can your aspiring heart's
Eagerness appear?

40.

The soul travels through
Eternity's time
And makes light-friends
In every clime.

41.

Mind is a struggle
For supremacy-voice.
Heart is a cry
For God-oneness-choice.

42.

If you are not determined
To break your doubt-chain,
Yours will be a life of
Fruitless, pointless pain.

43.

If you can renounce
Your desert-mind-ownership,
God can then grant you
His Vision-World's partnership.

44.

The teeming errors of the past
In you no longer linger.
Self-perfection is beckoning you
To be a God-song-singer.

45.

No, not for you
Temptation's shattering blow.
You and your heart
With soul-perfection glow.

46.

Desire-fever tortures
The human mind.
With brutal force it renders
The heart-eye blind.

47.

I pray and meditate to find
The silence-sea within.
Alas, my mind still tortures me
With its confusion-din.

48.

What the mind possesses is
A false knowledge-flame.
It can never help you win
God's Wisdom-Light-Game.

49.

What cannot be blighted?
A green heart of purity.
What cannot be destroyed?
A blue soul of divinity.

50.

Never use your doubting mind-brake
To slow your progress-speed.
Use your heart-accelerator
If God is what you need.

51.

My Lord wants to be proud of me,
But how can He be proud
When He sees me treasuring
My mind's obscurity-cloud?

52.

Suffer no more
From your brutal remorse.
God will show you
His cheerful Love-Course.

53.

O keep your heart free
Of all doubt-poison.
You will be blessed
With a smile-horizon.

54.

If God is your heart's
Unconditional thirst,
Then God's Satisfaction
You will always put first.

55.

When I go beyond
My mind's tall fence,
I enjoy my Lord's
Heart-Confidence.

56.

Your beauty's heart
I see upon your face.
Your life has won
God's Homeward Race.

57.

Your oneness-life
Shall sleeplessly flower.
Your forgiveness-heart,
A nourishing shower.

58.

Every morning my Lord Supreme's
Compassion-Feet I clasp,
And thus I shun my doubting mind's
Darkness-impurity-grasp.

59.

Do not allow your heart-home
To be razed by ignorance-night.
Your life was truly born to be
The heir of God-Delight.

60.

Alas, no new news:
Your heart-cry is still sleeping.
Alas, no new news:
Your progress is still creeping.

61.

Blame not your palm;
Just blame your mind.
Kill not your mind;
New light just find.

62.

O wisdom-heart,
Sing, sleeplessly sing,
And thus destroy
Doubt-failure-ring.

63.

Because you have no
Concern for integrity,
Half-bright must remain
Your sun-celebrity.

64.

To make your life ever
God's Satisfaction-Choice,
Your mind must be always
Deaf to doubt-voice.

65.

In the morn and in the eve
Learn surrender-songs.
Your Lord Supreme will pardon
All your earthly wrongs.

66.

When the seeker is transformed
Into reality's joy,
He unmistakably becomes
God's choicest, fondest toy.

67.

Do not permit your felon-mind
To blindly and stupidly think.
The doubting mind's success-smile
Compels the love-heart to shrink.

68.

O seeker, every day thank God
For your dynamic health,
For therein lies your progress-life's
Most useful, precious wealth.

69.

The soul of light
Definitely withdraws
If the mind wants not
To transform its flaws.

70.

Look!
Quite unexpectedly
What has dawned in me:
My aspiration-heart-life's
Long-sought divinity.

71.

Your mind wants to play
With a huge doubt-ball.
Your heart longs to play
With God's Golden All.

72.

Once you climb up
The realisation-tree,
Your heart-life swims
In liberation-sea.
