Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 43

Return to the table of contents

42001

When I pray and meditate
Successfully,
I see that my life is bathed
In God’s golden Light.

42002

When I please God
In His own Way,
He immediately allows me
To be submerged
In His infinite Ocean-Bliss.

42003

My gratitude-heart
Is
My Lord’s constant miracle.

42004

Each good, new thought
Is a genuine step forward
Towards God.

42005

Each sincere prayer
Embodies
A special Breath of God.

42006

My God-surrender-heart
Is
My only joy on earth.

42007

The children of happiness
Will create a new world.

42008

We can make
God’s Victory sweeter
By making our hearts
Extremely pure.

42009

Two service-arms
And one love-heart
Are all I need
To manifest God’s Light
On earth.

42010

When the flowers sing,
I feel a new dawn
In my heart.

42011

The outer experience
Is not an experience —
It is just an experiment.

42012

The inner experience
Is the real one
That shows us how close
We are to God
Or how far
We are from God.

42013

Love, devotion and surrender
Have to be increased
In abundant measure
Every day.

42014

We can accomplish
Everything
Through our heart’s sincerity.

42015

Inspiration
Without speech
Is most powerful.

42016

My aspiration-fire
Has to challenge
My mind’s desire-waves
And conquer them.

42017

Quite often
The mind accepts
The opinions of the vital.

42018

Alas,
The mind never takes advice
From the heart!

42019

When we start our aspiration-journey
With utmost concentration,
God Himself applauds.

42020

No enthusiasm,
No success or progress —
Either in our outer life
Or in our inner life.

42021

Ego means
Exclusion of the world,
Ruthlessly.

42022

Faith means
Inclusion of the world,
Happily and proudly.

42023

Every morning
God gives me
An aspiration-examination.

42024

My faith in God
Is
My only reality.

42025

I never fight with reason —
I just ignore it.

42026

Every day
Is a most significant day
To cultivate
My spirituality-soil.

42027

Do not allow your mind
To distort your God-love,
God-devotion and God-surrender.

42028

My God-surrender
Is the best exercise
For my self-perfection.

42029

The mind loves
Self-indulgence.

42030

The vital loves
Titan-arrogance.

42031

I do not want to be claimed
Either by the old world
Or by the new world.
I want to be claimed
Only by God’s Compassion-World.

42032

If I am dependent on God,
Only then can I feel that
My life has any meaning.

42033

Listen first —
The Master is speaking!
Assimilate the Master’s messages,
Then speak to the world.

42034

We dream of God’s
Affection and Love.

42035

God dreams of possessing
Our soul, heart, mind, vital, body
And everything that we are.

42036

The visible miracles
Do not last for long.

42037

The invisible miracles
Help us tremendously
In our inner life and outer life.

42038

A heart of peace
Does not find fault
With anybody.

42039

Every day
My soul tries so hard
To generate faith
In my doubting mind.

42040

To live in the Eternal Now,
We need an ever-progressing
Child-heart.

42041

World-harmony
Is at the farthest horizon
Of humanity’s cries.

42042

Soulfully, powerfully and self-givingly
We must hoist the Victory-Banner
Of God.

42043

God is nothing
But a sleepless, all-embracing
Compassion-Net.

42044

The love of the heart
Is
An ever-increasing joy.

42045

By nature,
The heart is
Kind.

42046

By nature,
The heart is
All-loving.

42047

By nature,
The mind loves
Self-interest.

42048

By nature,
The mind dances
The dance of division.

42049

No more do I see
My life’s
Attachment-chains.

42050

The boundaries of space
Can easily be reached
By the constant remembrance
Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

42051

Inner Peace
And eternal Bliss
Live
In each other’s hearts.

42052

No human being
Can outrun
God’s Compassion-Ocean-Eye.

42053

God wants
Only one thing from me:
My God-oneness-heart.

42054

God does not request
My surrender.

42055

God does not command
My surrender.

42056

God waits and waits and waits
For the hour
When I will surrender to Him
On my own.

42057

Faith, hope and obedience
Are inseparable friends.

42058

O world, you can break my heart,
But you must not dare to break
My Lord’s Heart!

42059

God’s Tolerance
I exploit,
But He does not mind.

42060

God’s Forgiveness
I exploit,
But He does not mind.

42061

My unworthiness
Is the only thing
That God does not tolerate.

42062

A negativity-mind
Must be shunned
Sooner than at once.

42063

Is there anything
That my Lord will not do
For my unconditional
Surrender-life?

42064

I have thrown myself entirely
Into the surrender-waters
To swim with my God’s
Compassion-flooded Will.

42065

Do not search for God
Blindly and carelessly.

42066

Search for God
Selflessly and sleeplessly.

42067

God tells me that
My heart’s gratitude-tears and smiles
He treasures
More than anything else.

42068

Science is
A modern discovery.

42069

Spirituality is
An ancient discovery.

42070

Yoga was born
When God’s Eye
Cast a Glance
On earth.

42071

My Lord is working all the time,
Twenty-four hours a day,
But He says He is never busy.
How can I believe Him?

42072

The abolition
Of each ignorance-night
Is a clear sign
Of God-nearness.

42073

My heart
Does not believe in
Expectation.

42074

My heart
Believes only in
Its powerful promises
To God and mankind.

42075

It is so easy
To advise God.

42076

It is extremely difficult
To listen
To God’s Advice.

42077

God tells me to listen
To His Today’s Message,
And not to pay attention
To His Yesterday’s Message.

42078

God invites
Each and every human being
To come and play with Him,
But we are accustomed
To our usual delay.

42079

God wants to see
Our serving hands
And aspiring heart
At one and the same place.

42080

Alas, is there any day
When our mind-prayers
Do not stray?

42081

May my dreams
Be more real
Than Reality itself.

42082

I long for a time
When God and I
Can talk for a moment
Privately.

42083

I must spread
My God-manifestation-harvest
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the world.

42084

If you have enthusiasm in the mind
And aspiration in the heart,
You do not need anything else.

42085

No more doubts!
No more self-doubts!
I now have become
A climbing heart-flame.

42086

My heart always prayerfully
And unconditionally agrees with
My Lord’s Will.

42087

God will be highly pleased with us
If we can enrich our lives
With aspiration-flames.

42088

Self-doubt
Is the killer
Of one’s inner joy.

42089

The outer sunrise
Is beautiful.
The inner sunrise
Is Godful.

42090

O my mind,
You must not forever ignore
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

42091

Gratitude grows
By self-giving.

42092

My gratitude-heart
Has no time to be with
My God-torturing mind.

42093

No hour is meaningless,
No hour is fruitless
In our God-hungry life.

42094

Each seeker
Is destined to have
A God-experience-life.

42095

When you are in
The Presence of God,
Express yourself not only properly
But also self-givingly.

42096

My heart’s sincere cries
Will know no defeat.

42097

Opportunity
Without eagerness
Is of no avail.

42098

Every day God descends
With new Promises,
But, alas, we fail to accept them.

42099

The mind’s hesitation
Will never be able to arrive
At God’s Heart-Door.

42100

A child’s heart
Knows not
What hesitation is.

42101

The inner cries
And the outer smiles
Are both essential.

42102

We must discover
The inner Truth
And not pay much attention to
The outer facts.

42103

When I do something unconditionally,
I see my Lord Supreme smiling
In the Seventh Heaven of Delight.

42104

Performance
Of the divine life
Needs no dress rehearsal.

42105

God’s Compassion-Heart
And my aspiration-heart
Are hungry for each other.

42106

Each soul has
A unique capacity
To offer
To God’s Victory.

42107

Every seeker must join
Life’s transformation-game.

42108

God’s Smile
Is
My life’s dream-fulfilment.

42109

God comes
Only to see that
The mind is frightened
To death.

42110

God comes
Only to see that
The heart is dancing
In ecstasy.

42111

If you do not wait your turn,
How can you expect
God’s blessingful Boon
To come to you?

42112

Disobedience, shame on you!
You are a disgrace,
Both to the inner world
And to the outer world.

42113

Who can hide
From God’s Compassion-Height
And His Justice-Light?

42114

Only surrender-heart
Phone calls
Does God answer.

42115

The first thing
That God needs from us
Is sincerity.

42116

The ultimate thing
That God needs from us
Is courage.

42117

I am so happy that my Lord,
Out of His Compassion,
Has taken full possession of my life.

42118

Life is not only temptation
But also aspiration.

42119

God has asked Himself a billion times
One question:
“Why have I created this world?”

42120

I shall never allow
My God-longing
Ever to sigh.

42121

Is there anybody
Who cannot be
A cheerful God-server?

42122

Is there anybody
Who cannot be
A truthful God-lover?

42123

Everybody has the right
To love God and worship God
In His own Way.

42124

I pray to God
Not to raise
My consciousness.

42125

I pray to God
To deal with my consciousness
In His own Way.

42126

Not only the angels
But we human beings also
Can please God
And fulfil God.

42127

The mind will never
Have any idea
How merciful
God eternally is.

42128

Where there is oneness,
There is bound to be fulness.
And what is fulness?
My Lord’s Heart-Home.

42129

The more we live in the mind,
The more serious problems
We create for ourselves.

42130

Although it is extremely difficult
To love the world,
We must love the world.
If not, the Goal will be denied us.

42131

The outer fire
Burns
Our existence.

42132

The inner fire
Illumines and fulfils
Our existence.

42133

The outer long distance
Frightens us.

42134

The inner long distance
Beckons us
To reach the ultimate Goal.

42135

The outer light
Dazzles us.

42136

The inner light
Immediately embraces us.

42137

Now we are afraid of fear,
But there shall come a time
When fear will be afraid of us.
How and when?
Let us pray to God to bless us
With a oneness-will.
This oneness-will will destroy the fear
That so often attacks us.

42138

When the mind is clear
And the heart is pure,
God’s supreme Victory
Will inundate the entire being.

42139

The undivine thought tells us
That we are nothing,
We are useless.

42140

The divine thought tells us
That we came from God the Absolute
And we shall always be under
The Protection-Guidance
Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.

42141

There is a way to conquer jealousy.
Take jealousy as a piece of cloth.
Use your utmost power
To tear that piece of cloth
Into hundreds of pieces.
While tearing the piece of cloth,
Just think of all the jealousies you have.
Your jealousy is bound to disappear.

42142

Curiosity
In the spiritual life
Is our worst enemy.

42143

I must conquer the unreal in me.
The real in me is love of the Infinite;
The unreal in me is
Hunger for endless possessions.

42144

God does not mind if we miss a meal
In our outer life,
But God does mind when we miss
Even a single inner meal.
Our inner meal is composed of
Light, Peace and Bliss.

42145

God asks me to offer Him
All my secret thoughts
And to preserve all my sacred thoughts
Inside the depths of my heart.

42146

From the inner world,
We can bring to the fore encouragement
To fight against our discouragement.
And, needless to say, our victory is certain!

42147

When my heart
Starts blooming,
My Lord claps and claps.

42148

When my heart
Starts blossoming,
My Lord dances His Ecstasy-Dance.

42149

The outer music thinks and feels
That it cannot satisfy God fully.

42150

The inner music knows
That it is of God the Musician
And for God the Musician.

42151

The outer medicine
Is an ever-mounting courage.

42152

The inner medicine
Is to imagine
The infinite Power of God’s Eye.

42153

When I pray to God to make me happy,
He laughs and laughs and laughs.
He says to me:
“My child, tell Me frankly
When, where and how you are unhappy.
I shall make you happy
Only when you are ready to feel
That I shall do everything for you.
You do not have to worry at all.”

42154

In the morning,
God came and gave me
A peaceful heart.

42155

In the evening,
God came and gave me
A blissful life.

42156

God said to me:
“My child,
My Peace and My Bliss will give you
Everything that you want and need,
Provided you can unmistakably
Rely and depend on Me.”

42157

God does not mind
When we question Him,
But He does mind
When we stop listening
To His Advice.

42158

When I pray to God for something beautiful,
God says to me:
“You fool, you are already
Infinitely more beautiful
Than anything else!”

42159

When I pray to God to give me
What He has and what He is,
God says to me:
“You have completed and fulfilled
My transcendental Vision.”

42160

My Lord, what is the difference
Between my love for You
And Your Love for me?
“My child, your love for Me
Has possession-hunger in it;
My Love for you
Has Oneness-Hunger in it.”

42161

The medical world
Is success-pride.

42162

The spiritual world
Is progress-ride.

42163

A gratitude-obedience-heart
Is unparalleled.

42164

If we want to play the divine Game,
We must abide by
God’s Rules and Regulations.

42165

Meditation-time
Is incomparable.

42166

When I tell God
That I love His Creation
Most sincerely,
I thrill God to the core.

42167

My heart-tears-achievements
Are treasured
By God Himself.

42168

God is saving His Satisfaction
Regarding me
For another day —
Not today!

42169

Gratitude is as difficult
To preserve
As the flying wind.

42170

God does not want to know
What I have in my mind,
But He does want to know
What I have in my heart.

42171

May my days and nights
Be God’s loving, surrendering
And fulfilling slaves.

42172

Our God-obedience-heart-garden
Can be measureless.

42173

Love, devotion and surrender
Are three most intimate friends.
They are always found together.

42174

God cares
In every minute detail
What we are planning to do
For His Satisfaction.

42175

God’s Justice-Light
Never takes a day off.

42176

Our heart-stories about God
Must not be confined
Only to our hearts.

42177

Devotion
Is both sacred and secret
In our inner life.

42178

How can I find the inner world,
When my aspiration-wings
Are totally shattered?

42179

No sincere aspiration
Ever fails.

42180

Remember,
You are not the only one
To love and serve God —
There are many others!

42181

Adversities strengthen
Our sincerity-life.

42182

Out of His infinite Bounty,
God unsettles
Our complacent aspiration-life.

42183

God-satisfaction
I need.

42184

My self-satisfaction
I now am.

42185

Again and again,
God’s Compassion-Eye
Far exceeds its boundaries.

42186

God’s Eye
Composes
His celestial Music.

42187

God’s Heart
Mightily enjoys
His celestial Music.

42188

God does not mind
When I waste His Time,
But He does mind
When I waste my time.

42189

My heart is fully prepared
To play any role
Chosen by God
In His Cosmic Play.

42190

God whispers
All His sacred Secrets
Into my aspiration-heart.

42191

God is extremely generous
With His Time.
Can we not feel
That His Time is precious?

42192

God laughs and laughs
When I say that I know the way
To make His World better.

42193

How I wish I could be
Locked inside
My Lord’s Bliss-Heart-Room.

42194

God wants me to be
Beside Him
When He travels
In His Golden Chariot.

42195

A self-giving heart
Always stands ahead of everything
In the Eye of God.

42196

A disobedience-mind
Is
A decomposition-life.

42197

God’s Mind
Loves
The jokers.

42198

God’s Heart
Loves
The lovers.

42199

God’s Feet
Love
The worshippers.

42200

God loves
The eternal players.

42201

Negativity,
This world does not need you!
Go and try to live
In another world.

42202

When God says yes,
He means it.

42203

When God says no,
He means,
“Not now — some other day.”

42204

Our ingratitude-mind
Puzzles God.

42205

Our gratitude-heart
Thrills God immediately.

42206

Whatever God says
Is simple and direct.

42207

God is God’s sweet Will
When my name is sincerity.

42208

God is God’s iron Will
When my name is insincerity.

42209

All virtues are helpful to a degree,
But they may not be eternally helpful
When a higher Call comes.

42210

When I make a little progress,
God’s Heart bursts
With boundless joy.

42211

An aspiration-heart
Is a God-pleasing song
Every day.

42212

An aspiration-cry
Can change
The fate of one’s life.

42213

I pray to God every day
To use
His Thunder-Drum-Commands
For my perfection-hunger-life.

42214

A negativity-mind
Knows only one thing —
Misdirection.

42215

The inner cries
Activate
The outer smiles.

42216

Year after year
God has been asking me
To cast aside the opinions
Of the mind.

42217

Everyone surrenders
To God’s Will,
Only at different times.

42218

Alas,
Why do I not pay any attention
To God’s advance Warning?

42219

God answers
All my secret desires
In whispers.

42220

The human mind
Has many, many desires.

42221

The divine heart
Has only one desire —
God.

42222

Willingly or unwillingly,
Every human being
Has to have
The experience of humility.

42223

The best way to thank God
Is to give Him
A baby-heart-smile.

42224

God dearly treasures
My unconditional
Surrender-heartbeat.

42225

If I could have only one wish,
Then that wish would be
My sleepless surrender
To the Will
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

42226

God tells us not to be afraid of
Our extreme eagerness
To please Him
In His own Way.

42227

There is a great difference
Between our love of God
And God’s Love for us:
Our love tries to bind God;
God’s Love tries to give us
His Infinity’s Joy.

42228

When I feed God
With my gratitude-heart,
His Joy knows no bounds.

42229

A true disciple
Is extremely enamoured
Of everything
That his Master has and is.

42230

Only our God-gratitude-heart
Has the capacity
To measure our inner progress.

42231

The inner world
Does not need to know
Who I am.

42232

The outer world
Does not want to know
Why I am.

42233

I always prefer
Surrender
To expectation.

42234

I always prefer
The heart’s purity
To the mind’s brilliance.

42235

I always prefer
God’s Feet
To God’s Eye.

42236

The human in me prefers
God’s Compassion-Flood
To God’s Justice-Light.

42237

I prefer
My heart’s innocence-approach
To God
To my mind’s strength-approach.

42238

God prefers
My slow and steady approach
To my blind and fast approach.

42239

God prefers
My heart’s eagerness
To my mind’s competence.

42240

God does not care
What I have done for Him,
But He does care what I have done
For His Creation.

42241

No matter how much I devour
The nectar-dust of God’s Feet,
I am never fully satisfied!

42242

If there is devotion,
Then if we mispronounce
God’s Name,
He does not mind.

42243

If there is no devotion,
Then no matter how correctly
And how perfectly
We pronounce God’s Name,
He is not satisfied.

42244

God always loves
My heart-tears
Infinitely more than
My mind-smiles.

42245

The mind reads
Many, many books,
But it acquires only
Insignificant knowledge.

42246

The heart reads only one book:
God-love.
That book is sufficient,
For both God and the heart.

42247

Earth-realities
Are extremely painful.

42248

Heaven-dreams
Are exceedingly beautiful,
Powerful and fruitful.

42249

When we chant,
We bring down God
From Above.

42250

When we sing,
We feel God’s Presence
Inside our heart-garden.

42251

God says to me:
“Every day, you should pray to Me
Only for two things:
Enthusiasm and dynamism.”

42252

To tell the truth,
I am not afraid of
My soul’s divinity.

42253

I am afraid —
Terribly afraid —
Of my mind’s stupidity.

42254

My Lord,
I know You are pleased with me,
But I would like to know from You
How I can please You every day,
Infinitely more.

42255

God says to me:
“My child, do you not think that
My Compassion-Ocean
Is infinitely more powerful than
Your mind’s crime-waves?”

42256

God, You have secretly told me
What I should do to please You
Twenty-four hours a day,
But do tell me how I can do it.

42257

When I think of God,
I feel He is
Millions of miles away.

42258

When I pray to God,
I think He is
A thousand miles
Over my head.

42259

When I meditate on God,
I know He is watching me,
Standing right in front of me.

42260

Our expectations
Bind us very tight.

42261

Our hopes try to unite us,
Either with God’s Feet
Or with God’s Eye.

42262

God tells me not to waste
Even a fleeting moment
By thinking of
What I have not done
For Him.

42263

God wants me, from now on,
To think of what I am going to do
For Him
Every day, every hour, every minute
And every second.

42264

Even when I am late
By one fleeting second,
God’s Vision-Express Train
Does not wait for me.

42265

God tells me:
“My child, I am happy that My Greatness
Attracts your attention.
I am happy that My Goodness
Attracts your attention.
But My Oneness with you,
In your outer life and inner life,
Should attract your attention
Infinitely more.”

42266

The fulfilment of
My unconditional surrender
To God’s Will
Is the dream of all my dreams.

42267

Depend on your faith —
Your faith can and will
Do everything for you.

42268

Each heart-smile carries
The beauty and fragrance
Of Heaven.

42269

God-obedience-seekers
Are
Very, very fast runners.

42270

Every day,
In countless ways,
God is telling us how to have
A new life of aspiration and dedication.

42271

The mind enjoys
Over-populated thoughts.

42272

There is only one purpose
In life:
God-fulfilment in God’s own Way
At God’s choice Hour.

42273

The mind-books
Know how to explain
The facts.

42274

The heart-books
Know how to embody
The Truth.

42275

Self-interested people
Are not meant
For the spiritual life.

42276

God’s Pride-Prize-winners
Are those who claim
Only God as their own, very own.

42277

Doubt lengthens
Our journey
To the Goal.

42278

Faith not only shortens
Our journey
But also brings the Goal
To us.

42279

To speak of God
Is easy.

42280

To love God
Is difficult.

42281

To surrender to God’s Will
Constantly
Is the most difficult task.

42282

Our gratitude-prayers
God immediately answers.

42283

There can be no end
To God’s Dreams
Inside our aspiration-heart.

42284

Be not afraid of failure-ashes.
Inside failure-ashes
One day your perfection-promise
Will bloom.

42285

I want only God to educate
My inner life, my outer life
And my each and every thought.

42286

Each aspiration-moment
Is a golden promise of our heart
To God.

42287

I always try to keep my Lord
A little longer
Inside my aspiration-heart.

42288

When we judge others,
We lose our love-power
Immediately.

42289

Not what I want to do with my life,
But what God’s Heart
Wants to do with my life!

42290

Some are afraid
Of telling the truth.

42291

Some are not afraid
Even of becoming
The Truth.

42292

God will not allow
Anybody’s questions
To remain unanswered.

42293

Everything that the aspiration-heart
Has and is
Comes directly from God’s divine Will.

42294

The mind loves
Experiment-power.

42295

The heart likes
Experience-shower.

42296

If we are not enamoured
Of God’s Love and Beauty,
Then who else will be?

42297

God invites everybody
And everything,
Including my doubting mind,
When He gives His blessingful Speech.

42298

My aspiration-dedication-boat
Has been sailing
Through the centuries.

42299

At every moment
We must cling to God’s Feet,
As the morning dew to a flower.

42300

God is easy to love,
But not His Judgement.

42301

My Lord loves me —
This is the only
And most important thing
To remember.

42302

A faithless mind
Is
Stupidity incarnate.

42303

God’s Forgiveness-Nectar
Is beyond compare.

42304

Fortunate are those
Who have the capacity
To spread the word —
About how kind, compassionate,
Self-giving and forgiving
Our Lord is.

42305

Disobedience tries to ruin
God’s days,
But it sadly fails.

42306

Disobedience tries to ruin
Our God-hunger,
But it sadly fails.

42307

Disobedience tries to teach us
How to stand against God,
But it sadly fails.

42308

Disobedience
And the faithless mind
Love to live together.

42309

My Lord, my Lord,
At this very moment,
Do put an end
To my vagabond thoughts.

42310

My heart’s soulful smile,
More than anything else,
Gives my Lord joy.

42311

God’s Forgiveness
Does not believe in vacation —
Even so, God’s Justice.

42312

When we say
It is our last hope,
We pain God’s Heart.

42313

Be soulful, be cheerful!
God will answer
All the prayers
Of your heart.

42314

When God
Is all we need,
He immediately comes.

42315

Many say they need only God,
But in reality,
They need and they want
Only themselves.

42316

At long last,
My desire-days
And my desire-nights
Have left me!

42317

We do not have to know
Where our beginning was,
But we must know
Where we are going to end.

42318

We do not have to explain anything
To God.
We must only fly
On the fastest heart-plane
To God.

42319

Humility
Is still beyond the capacity
Of many human beings.

42320

Alas, the poor mind!
It wants to be satisfied
Even with a little pride.

42321

My Lord tells me again and again:
“My child, go back to your heart-home,
Go back to your heart-home!
You and I both need your heart-home.”

42322

The Supreme
In my inner life
Guides me.

42323

The Supreme
In my outer life
Leads me.

42324

Whenever I have
A good meditation,
I thrill my Lord Supreme.

42325

My aspiration-heart
And God’s Satisfaction-Eye
Are always found together.

42326

Nobody can remain
Ungrateful to God
Forever.

42327

God-Gratitude-Bliss
At every moment descends
On earth.

42328

When we love God unconditionally,
God immediately starts pouring
His Compassion-Rain.

42329

We are supposed to return Home,
But have we fulfilled our duties
Here on earth?
No!

42330

My inner prayer
Brightens both my inner life
And my outer life.

42331

The Goal itself comes
To the ego-less soul.

42332

Every day
We must remain at the peak
Of our God-manifestation-promise.

42333

There shall come a time
When the unreal
Will not be wanted anywhere.

42334

My outer life enjoys
My strength.

42335

My inner life enjoys
Only God’s Length
In me.

42336

The Beauty of the One
And the duty of the many —
It is all the same.

42337

God always tells us
That our search for Truth
Will not end in vain.

42338

God tells us
To look at His Creation
With the eyes of beauty.

42339

A mystic silence
Guides my outer life.

42340

Love and Reality
Are synonymous.

42341

I enjoy being lost
In my sweetness-dreams.

42342

Quite often
Tears give us
Good news.

42343

Be alert! Be awake!
God is fast approaching you.

42344

My mind-thoughts
Strangle me.

42345

My heart-feelings
Carry me directly
To God’s Heaven.

42346

God is always happy.
Why?
Because He claims everybody
As His own, very own.

42347

What God has to say
We must listen to
With rapt attention.

42348

Do not judge anybody.
Behold, your Lord
Rides right behind you
To judge you.

42349

I shall not be fully satisfied
Unless I can permanently live
Inside my Lord’s Heart-Home.

42350

When you suffer for any reason,
Just take a few very, very deep breaths.
It can be of some help to you.

42351

I go from blunder to blunder,
Yet my Lord Supreme tells me:
“Do not look back. Go forward!
Go forward, My child!”

42352

God-lovers become God-winners,
And then God-winners become
Far better God-lovers.

42353

My Lord, do help me see
Your supreme Reality
In Your Compassion-Eye.

42354

To our great joy,
Spirituality has become quite natural
In the world.

42355

My heart was born
To cry sleeplessly
For God’s Compassion
And Love.

42356

There is no final stage
Of my God-preparation.

42357

The outer eyes
May not be able to see God,
But the inner faith
Can easily do so.

42358

Forgiveness is not enough —
If you do not forget the whole matter,
Then your forgiveness is not complete.

42359

When we pray to God,
Loneliness disappears.

42360

When we meditate on God,
Oneness-joy blossoms.

42361

The student asks the spiritual Master:
“Please tell me,
Do you see God everywhere?”
The Master says:
“I do see God everywhere,
Plus I see something more —
I see you as another God!”

42362

Do not struggle to establish purity
In your life.
Just throw yourself completely
Into the Ocean-Heart
Of your Lord Beloved Supreme.

42363

When I open my eyes,
May each moment
Become a prayer.

42364

When I close my eyes,
May each moment
Become a meditation.

42365

I came alone to Mother Earth,
But when I go back, I shall carry with me
The infinite affection and love
Of Mother Earth.

42366

When you feel that you are
Farther than the farthest
From your Lord Beloved Supreme,
Who knows?
Perhaps that is the time
When He is nearer than the nearest!

42367

Cry!
Cry helplessly and sleeplessly!
God will give you
Two angel-wings to fly.

42368

The path of unconditional surrender
Is not meant for
Each and every human being.

42369

Curiosity
Unconsciously awakens
The searching mind.

42370

The pure heart
Of a sincere man
Is always at ease.

42371

Life is nothing
But uncertainty.

42372

Nothing else can satisfy
The Real in us
Save and except peace.

42373

I said to God:
“My Lord, Your Feet
Are so beautiful.”
God said to me:
“My child, your heart
Is so beautiful.”

42374

There cannot be two ways.
If you really accept the spiritual life,
There is only one way
And that is God’s Way.

42375

It is sheer foolishness
To be afraid of the Unknown,
For the Unknown is secretly guiding
Our destiny.

42376

I do not know where I am going,
And I do not want to know
Where I am going,
As long as I feel in my heart
My Absolute Lord Supreme.

42377

I cause such suffering
In the Heart of my Lord Supreme
When I tell the world
That He does not care for me.

42378

The way the mind sees the Truth
Is, indeed,
A distortion of the Truth.

42379

Facts belong to
The physical, vital
And mental worlds.

42380

Truth belongs to
The inner world —
Specially to God’s World.

42381

Every day I can be
A better seeker,
A better God-lover,
A better self-giver —
If so is the Will of God.

42382

We now think of God, pray to God,
Meditate on God and contemplate on God.
But the day shall come
When we shall feel and realise
That it is God Himself
Who is doing everything
In and through us.

42383

Lord, when I think of
Your transcendental Greatness,
I get terribly frightened.

42384

Lord, when I think of
Your universal Goodness,
I strongly feel that
I am part of Your Goodness.

42385

God tells me
That I do not have to go to Him —
He is already there, inside my heart.
But I am not doing what I am supposed to do:
I am not feeding Him properly.

42386

Yesterday’s God
Was powerful.

42387

Today’s God
Is merciful.

42388

Tomorrow’s God —
God does not want me to know
What aspect of His
He will show me tomorrow!

42389

Simplicity, sincerity and purity
Are not enough.
At every step, intensity is needed
To make rapid progress
In the spiritual life.

42390

The difference between the spiritual life
And the unspiritual life is this:
The spiritual life always carries hope
Inside its heart;
The unspiritual life knows and feels
That it is always hopeless, helpless
And useless.

42391

I went to God to see God’s Face.
God said to me:
“You fool!
You have come to see My Face?
Whenever you come to Me,
Come only to feel My Heart —
How much I love you
And how much I need you.”

42392

With a good thought
I fly towards my Goal.

42393

With a bad thought
I sink into the abyss
Of the darkest night.

42394

The earthly light
Is extremely limited,
Extremely weak.

42395

The Heavenly Light
Always goes beyond
The horizon.

42396

I ask God:
“Please tell me, how far do I have to go?”
God says to me:
“My child, this is the wrong question!
Instead you should ask Me,
‘Do give me the capacity,
My Lord, to be with You always,
Wherever You go.’”

42397

Perfection
Is a subject
The mind does not care
To study.

42398

God’s Feet do not judge;
God’s Heart does not judge;
God’s Eye does not judge;
But God Himself, all the time,
Loves and judges, judges and loves us.

42399

God feels sad when we want to have
His Assurance of our God-realisation.
He feels His Concern for our realisation
Far surpasses ours.

42400

God wants each human being
To be a special pride
Of the earth planet.

42401

I must bring
My restless mind
Completely under my control.

42402

If you are already soulful,
Then be more soulful
In your spiritual life.

42403

Every evening
God sends a progress report
To each seeker’s soul.

42404

Desire must die
Immediately,
And not just ultimately.

42405

My Lord Supreme tells me
That no matter how bad I am,
He is not going to give up on me!

42406

Whatever I possess,
As a matter of fact,
Has possessed me ruthlessly.

42407

If you do everything
Always in your own way,
How do you expect God to be
Of any help to you?

42408

Who is really normal?
He who consciously,
Or even unconsciously,
Fulfils God’s Will
All the time.

42409

I want to be
God’s chosen slave
To make myself absolutely happy.

42410

I must have constant readiness,
Willingness and selflessness
To be extremely close
To my Lord Supreme.

42411

If I am a very soulful seeker,
Then my Lord has made me so.

42412

God forgives all our weaknesses.
We must also do the same,
To make the fastest progress.

42413

God teaches
His most favourite students
Love, devotion and surrender.

42414

Who needs bliss from Heaven?
Am I so blind that I fail to see
That my Master is all bliss?

42415

Meditation carries
The secret of God-oneness
Wherever it goes.

42416

We look for someone
To admire us.

42417

God looks for someone
To understand Him.

42418

Each world-teacher
Comes
Ahead of his time.

42419

Except death,
There is nothing certain
Here on earth.

42420

The heart needs
No recommendation
To apply for a job
In God’s Heart-Office.

42421

The difference
Between God and me
Is this:
I discovered God;
God invented me.

42422

With a single look,
My Master has received
All my God-fulfilling hopes
And God-manifesting promises.

42423

My heart is always
On good terms
With my soul.

42424

My aspiration-heart
Has the strength to overcome
All the obstacles on the way.

42425

Today’s human imperfections
Will not and cannot
Last forever.

42426

Each life-course
Is self-created.

42427

Our adamantine determination
Will never surrender
To anything undivine.

42428

Alas, ignorance
Is the pride
Of our earthly existence.

42429

Our God-obedience
Is our greatest advantage
In the spiritual life.

42430

Anger is a very heavy burden
On the shoulders
Of a genuine seeker.

42431

My God-appointments
Are all predestined.

42432

I must reject
My negativity-mind
For good.

42433

My hopeful heart
Never surrenders
To my doubtful mind.

42434

A God-surrender-life
Can take a giant step
Towards self-perfection.

42435

Our humility
Is a direct
God-given Gift.

42436

Perfect perfection
Has not yet taken birth.

42437

Gratitude
Is a heart-flame
Climbing very fast
Towards Heaven.

42438

My long-lost aspiration,
When will you return?
When?

42439

God struggles
Inside
Human love.

42440

God dances
His Self-amorous Dance
With the Love divine.

42441

Day in, day out,
To keep faith alive
Is a very difficult task.

42442

Look at your own faults
With sincerity.

42443

Try to overlook
Others’ faults
As often as possible.

42444

Aspiration
Is
A Heaven-climbing game.

42445

Dedication
Is
An earth-rotating game.

42446

My heart-bell is ringing —
That means
My Lord is arriving.

42447

Each simple word
From my Master
Embodies a whole universe
Of light.

42448

Purity’s strength
Is unimaginable.

42449

When I dive deep within,
I see everything divine
Is unfathomable.

42450

My life shall be all peace
When my surrender
Is complete.

42451

I want only my Lord
To occupy
Each and every thought of mine.

42452

I do hope that the day will dawn
When my life will be only
For my Master’s fulfilment.

42453

The necessity of
My gratitude-heart
Has to be intense.

42454

Never look back
At your failure-life.

42455

We must destroy
The strong connection
Between the mind and the vital.

42456

God’s Call
Is the greatest thrill
In my life.

42457

My heart speedily runs closer
When it hears the Footsteps
Of my Lord Supreme.

42458

Criticism
Is
A dangerous poison.

42459

I see a rainbow dancing
Between my heart’s hope
And my soul’s promise.

42460

Anything good
That the mind does
Surprises our Lord.

42461

God always
Makes fun of
My stupid mind.

42462

God’s way of life
Has to be cultivated
By each sincere seeker.

42463

We shall never allow
The victory
Of ignorance-night.

42464

Television has caused
Infinitely more harm
Than help.

42465

God wants us to be
The lovers of Light
And not its slaves.

42466

Alas, I have knocked and knocked
On all the doors of the world,
Save and except my Lord’s.

42467

Hope can easily climb up
The loftiest tower.

42468

Worrying
Is worse than useless.

42469

Alas, we need patience
To wait and see
What God is going to give us
At His choice Hour.

42470

Our God-obedience
Intensifies
Our God-aspiration-cries.

42471

My Lord does nothing
Without a specific purpose.

42472

Desire-night
Is longer than the longest.

42473

Life is a journey —
So is death.

42474

O seeker,
You can aspire
Not only for yourself,
But for the rest of the world.

42475

God’s Way
Is the only way that counts
In a seeker’s life.

42476

Experiment
Teaches us.

42477

Experience
Illumines us.

42478

God wants my hope-bird
And my promise-bird
To fly together
In His Infinity’s Sky.

42479

Every day
I try to develop
An insatiable God-hunger.

42480

God suffers tremendously
When a seeker’s aspiration
And obedience
Descend.

42481

God knows
All our problems,
And He is ready to solve
All our problems,
But we do not
Give Him the chance.

42482

Anything that is man’s
Is earth-bound.

42483

Anything that is God’s
Is Heaven-free.

42484

God is far beyond
Both truth and falsehood —
He is always transcending Himself.

42485

God and God’s Vision
Were born
At the same time.

42486

The mind has taken on
An impossible task:
To hide from God.

42487

God lives in between
His Tolerance
And His Forgiveness.

42488

Light and darkness
Face each other
Across our life-sky.

42489

A gratitude-heart
Is very hard
To find.

42490

Alas, we never allow God
To have a little time
For Himself!

42491

May our aspiration fly
Far, far beyond
The final Destination.

42492

When we are joyful and soulful,
God feels that He has received
Everything from us.

42493

I am trying
To drown my ego
And crown my heart.

42494

Each thought
Can be transformed
Into a new hope-plant
And a new promise-tree.

42495

A gratitude-heart
At every moment
Reveals God’s Heart-Beauty
And Life-Duty.

42496

With eagerness and intensity
Everything
Can be achieved.

42497

My Lord,
One thing I am telling You
Most sincerely:
I am at Your express Command.

42498

I must go far, far beyond
The horizons
Of my earthly desire-life.

42499

Even though my role is very small
In God’s Cosmic Play,
My Lord pays ample attention to me.

42500

We must take a brave step —
Our feeble steps will lead us
Nowhere.

42501

My Lord tells me all the time:
“Do something good for others.
This is the only way
You can make the fastest progress.”

42502

Once we sincerely enter
The spiritual life,
There can be no turning back.

42503

When I see my Master’s face
In the depths of my heart,
I see inside his face
Not only Heaven,
But all the gods and goddesses.

42504

May my aspiration fly
To the highest Heights.

42505

My life must go through
The eye
Of ruthless mind-storms
To arrive at the Goal.

42506

My Lord, delay not!
Step into my eagerness-heart
Right away.

42507

Yesterday’s perfection-light
Today has become
Imperfection-night.

42508

God-dependence
Is the sign of
True wisdom.

42509

God loves me more and more
Precisely because
I open my heart’s door
A little more every day.

42510

Not by accusing the world
But by excusing the world
Can we have true happiness.

42511

The best I can do
Under the circumstances
Is to leave the world at God’s Feet
For Him to change its nature.

42512

God-seekers
Eventually become
Freedom-finders.

42513

Just to make me happy,
My Lord tells me
That He badly needs a partner.

42514

My heart has
Streaming tears
For the losers.

42515

My heart has
Beaming smiles
For the winners.

42516

What the outer world
Is supposed to be:
An equal of the inner world.

42517

My task
For yesterday
Was God-search.

42518

My task
For today
Is God-discovery.

42519

My task
For tomorrow
Will be God-revelation.

42520

My task
For the day after tomorrow
Will be God-manifestation.

42521

My task
For the following day
Will be to smile and dance
With God.

42522

When God comes down
And garlands a sincere seeker,
It is, indeed, a festive occasion
For every heart.

42523

My Lord, I am telling You
For the last time
That I shall never, never
Make You unhappy.

42524

We know that nobody
Is perfectly happy now,
But we feel that everybody
Can sooner or later
Be divinely and supremely happy.

42525

To become God’s favourite,
I gave up practically nothing —
I only claimed my Lord
As my own, very own.

42526

The smiles
That we give to the world
From our inner suffering
Are most exquisite.

42527

Only a fool
Has the time to think of
The next life.

42528

In the beginning
God whispers,
But if we do not pay any heed
To God’s Whispers,
God thunders.

42529

God will tell you secretly
When you will be able
To realise Him.

42530

God will tell you openly
How you can
Realise Him.

42531

God will tell the world proudly
When you become
Another God.

42532

When God starts scolding me,
I immediately know
That He has started moulding me.

42533

When I walk behind God
Soulfully and devotedly,
God turns around and gives me
The Beauty of His Smile.

42534

Prosperity,
When not properly regulated,
Meets with teeming disadvantages.

42535

My old self will vanish
Only when my present self
Breathlessly needs God.

42536

Today my heart and I
Must fulfil
Our Lord’s Sunburst-Vision.

42537

My heart and I
Like to be the children
Of the all-dreaming
And all-fulfilling present moment.

42538

Meditation
Is God’s Presence-invoker
And God’s Presence-adorer.

42539

To search for God
Is good.

42540

To thirst for God
Is better.

42541

To hunger for God
Is by far the best.

42542

God uses
Not His powerful Eyes
But His compassionate Arms
To change my life.

42543

When I stand in front of
My Lord Supreme,
I am frightened.

42544

When I feel my Lord’s Presence
Inside my heart,
I am thrilled beyond measure.

42545

Our love of God
Immediately increases
When our desire-life ceases
Forever.

42546

Austerities
Are not essential
For God-realisation.

42547

The Supreme dearly loves
The humility-flooded seekers.

42548

The human in me is no more.
It has been replaced
By the Divine from Above.

42549

I definitely and unreservedly believe
In the very best
Of every human being.

42550

If we cannot have faith
In God’s Love,
Then we are offering God
A most deplorable experience.

42551

Every morning
God examines our consciousness
With tremendous Compassion
And Concern.

42552

We have no idea
How powerful
Divine Love is.

42553

Dive deep within
To help your heart
In every possible way.

42554

Do not give up
On those who are still
Unwilling.

42555

My life is
God’s Compassion-Eye-beggar.

42556

Pay heed constantly
To your soul’s needs.

42557

My heart’s
God-gratitude-wings
Fly in Infinity’s Sky.

42558

My Lord every day
Empties me
Of my desire-forest-life.

42559

Our inner beauty
Far surpasses
The beauty of the morning sun.

42560

We must value
The love and concern
That every minute
Has for us.

42561

God wants us to treasure
All our soul’s
God-Rainbow-dreams.

42562

I shall always try
To perfect
My self-improvement-task.

42563

May my heart never be empty
Of aspiration, love, devotion
And surrender.

42564

The capacity of the mind
To aspire
Is very limited.

42565

May my aspiration
Be always unerring
And ignorance-night-defying.

42566

Alas, the present-day world
Is nothing short of
A destruction-cyclone.

42567

The promise of ignorance-night
Is nothing but temptation
In disguise.

42568

Every day
God blesses us
With new dreams
And new hopes.

42569

When we stand on the stage
Of our lives,
Either we bitterly cry
Or we brightly smile.

42570

Everything
Divine and undivine
Is swirling around my Lord’s Feet.

42571

The soul is
The most eloquent student
In God’s Heart-School.

42572

O my heart-bird,
Always remain awake!
Never close your beauty’s eyes.

42573

In disguise,
God performs His Manifestation-Task
Inside all human beings.

42574

Meditation means
God-Presence-invocation.

42575

God-dreams are only for those
Who cannot remain without God
Even for a fleeting moment.

42576

Each inner experience
Leads me to my real life:
God-service.

42577

My mind is full of
Frustration-stories.

42578

My heart is full of
God-songs.

42579

God showers us
With His Blessing-Gifts
Every morning and evening.

42580

God tells me not to throw away
My despair-heart
But to place it at His Feet.

42581

God does not want to hear
My life-stories.

42582

God wants to hear from me
Only my heart-songs.

42583

Where is God-Justice?
Ask your heart and not your mind.
You will be able to know, without fail.

42584

My heart knows
How to insist
All the time.

42585

My mind knows
How to resist
All the time.

42586

The spiritual life means
A life of flexibility.

42587

The spiritual life means
A life of self-offering.

42588

The spiritual life means
The Beauty of God’s Compassion
And the Fragrance of His Love.

42589

He who does not avail himself
Of God-opportunities
Immediately is bound to fail.

42590

My heart is telling me
To dive inward
To see God’s Compassion-Feet.

42591

No sacrifice —
Just love is needed
To realise God.

42592

My Lord,
Do give me another chance
To expand my heart
To encompass
All of humanity.

42593

May my mind
Grow into a vastness
Far beyond my imagination.

42594

God does not need
Your mind-explanation.

42595

God needs only
Your heart-satisfaction.

42596

The difference between my love
And God’s Love is this:
My love is all taking;
God’s Love is all giving.

42597

Patience is absolutely necessary
In the spiritual life
To realise God in His own Way.

42598

God treasures
The smiles of our soul.

42599

Who else
If not You, my Lord,
Can console my bleeding heart?

42600

My heart is now
A God-worshipper,
But my Lord wants
My heart to become
A God-lover.

42601

If you want to doubt,
Doubt everything,
But not your heart’s love for God.

42602

My Lord, I want to live
Between my outer simplicity
And my inner tranquillity.

42603

Gratitude grows
From deep within.

42604

I shall not allow
My yesterday’s mind
To enter into
My today’s heart.

42605

My Lord tells me
That I live far below
My capacities.

42606

I must discard my desire-life
By all means —
The sooner the better.

42607

We must always remain
Wide awake
To the needs of the inner life.

42608

God is always eager
To fulfil the hopes
Of my aspiring heart.

42609

Truth cannot
Be demonstrated.
It can only be felt.

42610

God wants me
To lighten the sufferings
Of others.

42611

I must have implicit confidence
In the Whispers
Of my Inner Pilot.

42612

Self-giving
Is the direct route
To our God-Destination.

42613

Visions come
From aspiration.

42614

Aspiration comes
From inspiration.

42615

Inspiration comes
From love of God.

42616

O my mind,
Transcend the boundaries
Of fear and doubt.

42617

The inner home
Is only
For the brave.

42618

My Lord has
A very special Request:
He wants me to forget my past
Altogether.

42619

What I need
Is an invincible faith
In my Lord Supreme.

42620

My Lord accepts me fully
Only when I throw myself
At His Feet
Self-givingly.

42621

To serve
Is to change the face
Of humanity.

42622

Steadily and unerringly
We all must run onward
To our golden Destination.

42623

Each positive thought
Can reveal
A higher mystery.

42624

Self-offering
Is the road
To the real education.

42625

Every day, every hour,
Every minute,
I am desperately trying
To love and serve God
In accordance with His Will.

42626

My prayer-life
Needs intensity.

42627

My meditation-heart
Needs immensity.

42628

A God-surrender-heart
Is
An inevitable winner.

42629

My Lord, do not allow my heart
To be empty of
Tenderness and sweetness.

42630

God is eager to increase
My inner wealth
Provided I can offer Him
My heart-cries and heart-tears.

42631

A heart of surrender
Knows no equal
In the spiritual life.

42632

The material life
Has a beginning
And an end.

42633

The spiritual life
Is a perpetual beginning
Towards the Transcendental Goal.

42634

We want life-enlargement,
But God wants for us
Self-effacement.

42635

Never leave home
Without praying to God
For His inner and outer Guidance.

42636

If we do not destroy
Our sad experiences of the past,
How can we ever successfully invoke
The good experiences
That are eager to approach us?

42637

Do not think of finishing
Your earth-journey.
Wait for God’s special Hour.
Until then, love God, serve God
Here, in the heart of humankind.

42638

My Lord tells me
That the depth of my heart
Is of tremendous service to Him.

42639

If we believe in inner guidance,
Then automatically, our outer confidence
Will increase.

42640

Whatever God does
With my life,
I am left utterly speechless.

42641

One becomes rich,
Very rich,
In the inner world
By spending oneself.

42642

Just a glimpse of God’s Feet
I need
To feed my God-hunger.

42643

The trouble with all human beings
Is this:
They want to understand God,
Which is nothing short of impossibility.

42644

I see my Inner Pilot
Watching and enjoying
My twinkling heart-stars.

42645

Self-discipline
Is the builder of
Our life’s tower.

42646

If nervousness tortures you
When you are in front of your Master,
How can you establish
Oneness with his will?

42647

If you do not have admiration
For your own soul,
You will not be able to go far.

42648

Each human being suffers
From conflicting thoughts
And emotions.

42649

God is never in favour
Of saying ‘Not now’.

42650

Surrender is
The most effective way
To God’s Nectar-Heart.

42651

Forgiveness is available,
But it is quite often
Unnoticed.

42652

God and I have decided
That from now on,
When we talk,
We shall prolong our conversation.

42653

How happy I shall be
If ever my Lord Supreme
Monopolises my entire life!

42654

Do not indulge
Your expectations —
You will suffer more,
Infinitely more.

42655

Undivided
God-oneness
Each seeker needs.

42656

If you do not have aspiration-flames
Inside your heart,
God will not appear before you.

42657

God has commanded me
To revolutionise my inner life
And my outer life.

42658

As the soul and the heart
Are very old friends,
Even so, the mind and the vital.

42659

Concern is God’s
Constant companion.

42660

God does not want anybody
To be a mere onlooker.

42661

God wants everybody
To participate
In His Cosmic Game.

42662

Failure and despair
Will grip your mind
If you do not surrender your life
To God’s Will.

42663

My heart and I
Always walk along
The peace-path.

42664

Each good thought
Is a blessingful message
From Above.

42665

To my great sorrow,
Alas, for a long time
My heart and God’s Eye
Were not on speaking terms.

42666

Peace means a journey
From one higher world
To another higher world.

42667

Devotion
Always gets a chance
To be near
The Heart of the Supreme.

42668

God always allows us
To swim
In His Forgiveness-River.

42669

Cheerfulness means
A new discovery
To please God
In His own Way.

42670

Determination
Has to be indomitable
If you want to succeed
In any walk of life.

42671

When I play
My self-competition-game,
My Lord watches me
With tremendous Joy and Pride.

42672

My heartbeat
And God’s Heartbeat
Love to speak in whispers.

42673

There is no problem
That our aspiring heart
Cannot solve.

42674

I love to live in between
My searching mind
And my aspiring heart.

42675

This moment, I must do.
The next moment, I must become.
Indeed, this is absolutely the right approach
To God.

42676

Each morning
Is the beauty
Of a new hope.

42677

Each duty
Gives us a new capacity
To arrive at God’s Heart-Door.

42678

God-reliance and disaster
Are perfect strangers.

42679

In and through
Our meditation-heart,
God smiles and smiles.

42680

If we can dive deep within,
Then our Lord is bound to give us
Very special Directions.

42681

The seeker in me knows
That the heart is, indeed,
A peace-home.

42682

When God Himself
Pilots the boat,
There can be no collision.

42683

My heart says to me:
“Just wait and see!
Our Lord has a very special Plan
For you.”

42684

My mind
Is terribly afraid of
Visiting Heaven.

42685

My heart
Is dying to visit
Heaven.

42686

I want to serve God wholeheartedly,
But God says to me:
“My child, first love Me,
Sleeplessly and breathlessly.
Do the first thing first!”

42687

A life empty of God-dreams
Is
A meaningless and useless life.

42688

God loves my simplest prayer:
“My Lord, do give me the capacity,
Every day,
To love You more and more!”

42689

God tells me
That the most beautiful flower
Is my God-affection-heart.

42690

The true love of God
Comes to us
From the Unknowable.

42691

When God walks the earth,
We do not recognise Him.
Alas, even if we recognise Him,
We do not value Him.

42692

God wants us to catch Him
Like a player catches a ball,
And not be satisfied
By just thinking of Him.

42693

My mind loves
Doubt-association.

42694

My heart loves
My faith-union with God.

42695

My desire-dreams
Disappear.

42696

My aspiration-dream
Appears before me
With very special Blessings
From God.

42697

My higher life
Is created
By my Inner Pilot.

42698

My lower life
Is created
By my doubting
And challenging mind.

42699

If you can avoid
The temptation-world,
Then you have definitely conquered
God’s Heart.

42700

When our faith ascends
Speedily,
God and God’s Pride descend
Immediately.

42701

God does expect
From each and everyone
A twenty-four-hour selfless service.

42702

The mind and the vital
Are not real friends.
Inwardly, they are all the time
At war with each other.

42703

God’s Grace
Descends upon us,
Quite often unexpectedly.

42704

God wants us
To be independent
Of the world’s opinion.

42705

God wants us
To be dependent
Entirely on His inner Dictates.

42706

The painful world
Every day we see
Around us.

42707

The blissful world
Every day is beckoning us,
But we think and feel
That we are not ready.

42708

God-lovers
Will never be short of
God’s sincere Appreciation.

42709

God-servers
Will never be short of
God-tasks.

42710

Living in the Heart of God
Is the only satisfaction
That can please the seeker.

42711

The mind
Continuously steals
Our heart’s joy.

42712

When I open myself completely
To God’s Concern,
I feel I do not have to do
Anything else.

42713

The mind
Foolishly rejects
God’s Love.

42714

Each joy-step carries us
Into a very beautiful
And powerful future.

42715

Alas, God’s outer Call
I do not understand.

42716

Alas, God’s inner Call
I also do not understand.

42717

A God-oneness-heart
Has neither a beginning
Nor an end.

42718

Because of our heart-tutor,
We always succeed
In our inner examinations.

42719

Each intense prayer
Takes us one step closer
To God.

42720

The mind
Never keeps its promises,
Yet it is full of pride.

42721

God tells us that
Everything has a fixed hour.
We must not relax more than needed.

42722

Our hesitation-days and nights
Are destroying
Our inner capacities.

42723

We know countless stories
About God’s Compassion
And God’s Forgiveness,
But we have never heard
Even a single story
About God’s carelessness
Or God’s negligence.

42724

My heart-tears
And my soul-smiles
Are equally indomitable.

42725

My life has to be
As bright and illumining
As a star
In the midnight sky.

42726

God helps us
In so many ways
That we are totally ignorant of.

42727

My heart believes,
Right from the beginning to the end,
When my soul speaks.

42728

My hopes and my dreams
Always invite my heart
To fly
In Infinity’s Sky.

42729

Nobody
Can dare to imprison
My God-obedience-heart.

42730

The eyes of the heart
Turn always
Towards God.

42731

Everybody knows
The untold problems of life,
But very few turn
Towards the Light.

42732

God and God’s Patience
Come into our hearts
Only to stay forever.

42733

Patience and the mind
Never room together.

42734

The mind
Does not believe in
God-fulfilment-experiences.

42735

When the wild criticism of the world
Unnerves us,
God’s Heart comes
To our immediate rescue.

42736

My God-gratitude-heart
Sleeplessly enjoys
God’s Nectar-Delight.

42737

I have only one thing to long for:
My God-obedience,
My God-obedience,
My God-obedience!

42738

I must sing with my heart
Every morning
One forgiveness-song.

42739

A God-unwillingness-mind
Can be
Extremely destructive.

42740

Try always
To avoid walking along
The temptation-road.

42741

Always be eager
To walk along
The aspiration-road.

42742

Have more faith
Every day of your life
In God’s ceaseless Compassion.

42743

Nothing saddens our Lord
As much as
Our self-abnegation.

42744

We must learn
How to love God,
Even if we do not,
Or cannot, understand
What God’s Will is.

42745

God does not often come to us
As a beautiful thought.

42746

God comes to us
As an adamantine Will.

42747

Every day
God and I think of
Only one thing:
My nature’s perfection.

42748

My Lord,
I am not proud of myself
When You love me.

42749

My Lord,
I am proud of myself
Only when
I entirely depend upon You.

42750

Each successful meditation
Is a powerful
Godward journey.

42751

What is happening every day
Before our very eyes?
Injustice is reigning supreme.

42752

What is happening every day
Before our very eyes?
The good are silent;
The bad are belligerent.

42753

What is happening every day
Before our very eyes?
Concern for the improvement
Of humanity
Is inside our mouths
And not inside our hearts.

42754

As our eagerness
To please God increases,
Even so, God’s Eagerness
To please us increases
More and more.

42755

The mind’s philosophy
We must never accept,
For it is very precarious —
Even the mind does not know
What its philosophy is!

42756

A God-unwillingness-mind
Most astonishingly delays
Our forward journey.

42757

In the morning and in the evening
My heart sings
My Lord’s Forgiveness-Song,
And I see my Lord’s Eyes
Flooded with Compassion-Joy-Pride.

42758

I love
God’s cute Smiles
More than I love
God’s powerful Smiles.

42759

To achieve perfection,
The first requisite
Is self-giving.

42760

Life is either
Conscious sacrifice
Or unconscious sacrifice.

42761

The mysteries
Of Mother Nature
None can explain.

42762

This world
Is more charming
Than we can ever imagine.

42763

The aspiring man
Is truly the centre
Of God’s inner World.

42764

If you do not come to God’s Palace
On a regular basis,
Your absence will soon be evident.

42765

To search for and discover
The soul
Is a matter of centuries.

42766

Even long before
God arrives,
The heart starts
Jumping with joy.

42767

If we please God
In God’s own Way,
Then He will bless us
With a most remarkable aura.

42768

We cannot explain
The horizon,
But we can transcend
The horizon.

42769

Each human life is not only
A God-manifestation-possibility,
But a God-manifestation-inevitability.

42770

My heart prays to God
When there is no whisper
Of disturbance.

42771

We must be
The signal discoverers
Of man’s divine qualities,
One after another.

42772

The nature of diplomacy:
Outwardly
I say I appreciate you;
Inwardly
I know and feel that I do not.

42773

God knows when I adore Him
And when I flatter Him.
When I adore Him,
He embraces me.
When I flatter Him, He says:
“Sorry, I do not deserve it.”

42774

Silence is peace
For my outer world.

42775

Silence is delight
For my inner world.

42776

My mind
Is afraid of
Silence-night.

42777

My heart
Is enamoured of
My soul’s inner silence.

42778

A doubting mind
Is
A soundless forest-life.

42779

The poor mind
Cannot enjoy anything —
Even the rainbow-dawn!

42780

If you are afraid of the Unknown,
Then what will happen to you
If you try to know
The Unknowable?

42781

The importance of God’s Love
Is every day increasing
Inside my heart.

42782

Mind and matter —
In spite of their daily wranglings,
They stay together.

42783

There shall come a time
When earth will be equal
To Heaven.

42784

Do not try to look into the future.
The future will come on its own
At God’s choice Hour.

42785

When we do not listen
To God’s ardent Request,
He comes to us
With His Thunder-Feet.

42786

Never allow doubt
To think of your life.

42787

We must enter
Into our heart-land
To be beautiful and fruitful.

42788

Although the Universe is infinite,
The aspiration-heart has a free access
To the Heart of the Universe.

42789

The mind-power
Is terribly afraid
Of God.

42790

The heart-power
Is enamoured
Of God.

42791

Everything is extremely difficult
For the criticising mind
To accomplish.

42792

Everything is extremely easy
For the illumining soul
To accomplish.

42793

If you have a heart of peace,
Then nothing
Remains impossible.

42794

My soul is helping me
To put an end
To all ignorance-thoughts.

42795

Expect neither success
Nor even progress.
God will immediately show
His tremendous Pride in you.

42796

I must struggle and struggle
To see
My all-illumining soul.

42797

The human heart
Is afraid of blooming.

42798

The divine heart
Enjoys blooming,
Far beyond our imagination.

42799

Temptation is both
Dangerous
And treacherous.

42800

The darkness of the mind
And the blindness of the vital
Will never be able to claim me.

42801

Inside the mortal body,
The Beauty and the Light
Of the Immortal abide.

42802

Today’s emptiness
Becomes
Tomorrow’s fulness.

42803

Emptiness
Is the journey’s start.

42804

Fulness
Is the continuation
Of emptiness.

42805

Each desiring man
Is nothing but
A dissatisfied human being.

42806

The soul smiles
Through the readiness and eagerness
Of the genuine God-lover.

42807

No God-longing
Will ever remain
Unfulfilled.

42808

The Heaven-born soul
Is always eager to play
With the earth-born human lives.

42809

Temptation
Is the strongest
Magnetic power.

42810

Be devoted
To your heart
And do not remain addicted
To your mind.

42811

Unless we are willing to fight bravely
Against ignorance-night,
God does not take us seriously.

42812

My soul-bird flies
Upward and upward
With its powerful wings.

42813

My soul-bird dives
Inward and inward
With its dauntless wings.

42814

Earthly dreams
Are fleeting.

42815

Heavenly visions
Are everlasting.

42816

When we are most sincerely devoted
To God’s Will, God tells us:
“My children, is there anything
That I shall not do for you?”

42817

Once desire-attachment
I was,
But now detachment-life
I am.

42818

God tells me to be a great member
Of the inner world
For the good of the outer world.

42819

Our mind parades
Our fleeting glories.

42820

Our heart parades
Only the supreme Glories
Of our Absolute Supreme.

42821

Always be ready —
Your Lord can give you
An unexpected Call.

42822

Only those who are chosen
Will be allowed to proclaim
God’s Victory here on earth.

42823

I equally love
My Lord’s Music-Heart-Tears
And Music-Soul-Smiles.

42824

Beautiful
Are the earthly
Imagination-flames.

42825

Sweet
Is the Heavenly
Reality-Light.

42826

The Master himself cultivates,
Lovingly and self-givingly,
His children’s heart-gardens.

42827

There is no time limit
To our Heavenward journey.

42828

Our God-faith-tower
Far surpasses other towers
In height.

42829

In secrecy supreme
My Lord and I correspond
Every day.

42830

The seeker has
Sleepless queries.

42831

God has
Breathless Answers.

42832

Humour has the magic power
To lighten our minds
And gladden our hearts.

42833

The aspiration-bird
Must fly
Without being asked.

42834

Love, devotion, surrender —
These three divine qualities of ours
Must always remain fully awake.

42835

The Master’s heart
Is made of affection.

42836

The Master’s feet
Are made of compassion.

42837

The Master himself
Is made of inspiration, aspiration,
Realisation and perfection.

42838

A doubting mind
Will never know the beauty
Of an aspiration-flame.

42839

To listen to the whispers
Of the heart,
We all need a mind of tranquillity.

42840

When the expectation-door closes,
The satisfaction-door opens.

42841

Instead of being
The Judge of my actions,
God becomes
The Inspirer of my actions.

42842

One drop of devotion-tears
Can satisfy
Our Lord Supreme.

42843

The outer miracles of a spiritual Master
Can be counted,
But the inner miracles of the Master
Can never be counted.

42844

I do
Only what inspires
Others.

42845

I do
Only what others need
For their God-realisation.

42846

Whenever I want to pray to God,
God tells me:
“My child, let us sport first,
For a short time!”

42847

May my entire life
Be saturated
With devotion-tears.

42848

To have an unquenchable flame
In the heart
Is of paramount importance.

42849

This moment
God is
His bountiful Grace.

42850

The next moment
God is
His powerful Embrace.

42851

My Lord wants me
To extol Him in action,
Not in speech.

42852

May I live between
A self-giving life
And a selfless surrender.

42853

I cry to God
For His Forgiveness.

42854

God cries
For my oneness.

42855

God and I
Feed on
Our mutual affection.

42856

Once we see God,
The attraction of the world
Fades away.

42857

Once we see God,
Every human being
Is precious.

42858

Aspiration accepts
The dire challenges
Of temptation.

42859

God wants me to show Him
My real face —
My angelic face.

42860

Aspiration I need
In the inner world.

42861

Dedication I need
In the outer world.

42862

Realisation I need
In the higher world.

42863

Manifestation I need
In the lower world.

42864

God tells me
Not to give any importance
To my failure-life.

42865

God tells me to rise
Again and again
After each stumble.

42866

Emptiness
Can be used
For a divine purpose.

42867

Loneliness
Can never be used
For a divine purpose.

42868

Loneliness is
A sad failure.

42869

Every day
Each seeker
Is a newborn divinity-smile.

42870

I must transcend
All harsh
Man-made rules.

42871

There can be
No God-forsaken heart.

42872

O seeker,
Every day you must be prepared
For a major adjustment
In your spiritual life.

42873

My mind
Enjoys preaching.

42874

My heart
Enjoys crying.

42875

A heart of devotion
Knows the secret way
To enter into
God’s Heart-Room.

42876

I am so happy
That my Lord does not allow me
To choose —
He does the choosing for me.

42877

When I said farewell
To ignorance-night,
To my greatest surprise
I did not feel sad.

42878

God is eager to tell us everything,
But unfortunately, we do not have
Patient ears.

42879

My mind, remember,
God’s Grace has saved you
Many, many times.

42880

God is not afraid of me —
He just pretends!

42881

I am afraid of God —
I mean it,
And God knows it.

42882

When day dawns,
Immediately a new light
Enters into my heart.

42883

When I am not brave,
Earth
Does not need me.

42884

When I am not pure,
Heaven
Does not need me.

42885

When I say something kind
To the world,
God’s Pride in me
Knows no bounds.

42886

If I do not face my problems
Unperturbed,
Who can and who will?

42887

Everything inspiring that I do
Always comes from
My Lord’s secret Whispers.

42888

Be careful!
Not only will your enemies
Bring you down —
Your friends can also
Do the same.

42889

The sun and the moon
Are witnesses
When I say to God:
“I love You only
And I need You only.”

42890

What right do I have
To criticise the world?
Do I not know that
I am not authorized by God?

42891

God tells me not to worry
If I leave anything behind
In my life.
He will take care of it
In His own Way.

42892

One has to practise
The spiritual life
To the fullest extent.

42893

I do everything
For the peace of mankind
And not
For my personal reward.

42894

The spiritual life
Does not reject
The material life;
It just transforms
The material life.

42895

Criticism-weight
Is very heavy —
So too is discouragement-weight.

42896

When I live in my heart,
There is no stumbling block.

42897

In the seeker’s dictionary,
The word ‘despair’
Is not to be found.

42898

Disobedience-thoughts
Do not dare to come near me
Any more.

42899

Each moment
I throw my heart
Into the heart of prayer.

42900

I serve God in humanity
More than I ever imagined!

42901

Disobedience-hunger
Is
Self-destructive.

42902

We do not fail —
We just fall a few times
On our way to the Destination.

42903

We can claim everything
Once we are fully accepted
By God’s Compassion-Eye.

42904

For us, God exists
Only when we fall.
Otherwise, there is no God,
No God!

42905

God’s Promise
Lives and shines
Secretly
Inside our aspiration-heart.

42906

I must be a God-appointed
God-preacher
And not a self-styled
God-preacher.

42907

Heart-supplication
Is the safest and surest way
To realise God.

42908

I raise my heart;
God bends His Ears.

42909

God has only one thing
To tell me:
“My child, come.
Come! Come!”

42910

Anything that the mind
Has and is
Cannot be popular.

42911

O Lord,
You are the Love
Of my life.

42912

O Lord,
You have made me
The beauty
Of my heart-tears.

42913

A desire-finished life
I now am.

42914

A God-famished life
I have become.

42915

The tears of the heart
Speedily ascend.

42916

The smiles of the soul
Carefully descend.

42917

When I pray to God,
I feel that even Eternity
Is too short.

42918

I try my best to please my Lord
Seven days a week,
But, alas, I am never successful.

42919

I am always interested
In hearing God-News,
And also in supplying
Earth-news to God.

42920

I see God
Closing His Eyes,
But I never see God
Closing His Heart.

42921

God’s Heart
Is filled with
Our tears.

42922

God’s Life
Is filled with
Our problems.

42923

When I was a teenager,
I thought that
I could do everything
And be the master of my life.

42924

Now that I am
On the wrong side of seventy,
I feel and I know
That I can do nothing,
I can be nothing,
Without the Compassion-Eye
Of my Lord Supreme.

42925

Happiness is the magnet
That lifts us high above.

42926

God immediately hears
The cries
Of our devotion-heart.

42927

I must forsake
My hesitation-thoughts.

42928

Only God-tears
Can inundate
My heart.

42929

Pride is empty of
Sweet tears.

42930

Our only concern
Is God-search
Every day.

42931

All the seekers who love God
Have received
God’s Heart-Breath-Key.

42932

My heart-flower
Daily needs
God’s Compassion-Shower.

42933

May my heart
Be full of
God-Heart-Songs.

42934

I am
My God-worship-heart.

42935

If we do not offer
A full-hearted gratitude,
Then our gratitude is of no avail.

42936

God wants me
To race
With His Heart.

42937

My heart-shrine
Is filled with
My life-tears.

42938

God comes to listen
To my heart-whispers
Every day without fail.

42939

The mind will never be able
To be familiar
With God’s Compassion-Eye.

42940

May my gratitude-heart-lamp
Never be extinguished.

42941

My Lord,
Do give me the capacity
To please You always
In Your own Way.

42942

Finally, we have located the place
Where peace is —
Peace is inside the heart-breath
Of a seeker.

42943

Self-doubt
Is
Extremely dangerous.

42944

We must befriend
All those
Who sincerely love God.

42945

Man’s greatest gift to God:
His constant gratitude-heart.

42946

If you want to stay close
To God’s Heart,
Think only of Him,
Meditate only on Him
And offer Him all that you have
And all that you are.

42947

My surrender-life
Sings my Lord’s Songs
Most hauntingly.

42948

My God-devotion-life
Is
My God-given capacity.

42949

Finally, I have made
An unwavering commitment
To the Will
Of my Lord Supreme.

42950

Self-interest
And God-interest
Can never go together.

42951

Nothing is higher
Than my Lord’s
Compassion-Eye-Height.

42952

I once lived
A doubt-tower-life,
But now I have become
A faith-fountain-heart.

42953

Success is not hope,
But hope does contribute substantially
To success.

42954

To live even for a second
Without God’s Compassion
Is to endure
The bitter taste of tears.

42955

Rest assured,
If your heart accepts
The challenges of life,
God will come
To your heart’s rescue.

42956

This world is full of
Unknown realities.

42957

Alas, darkness covers
Not only the impurity-mind
But also the purity-heart.

42958

I must fly every day
Far beyond
The horizon of
Thoughts and actions.

42959

A child’s heart
Is a secret
God-magnetic power.

42960

My heart has no room
For an iota of impatience.

42961

The soul shines
Not only through light
But also through
Thickest darkness.

42962

Pray and meditate
In any way you want,
But your prayers and meditations
Must be totally sincere.

42963

He who does not aspire
For the Highest
Will not be taken seriously
By God Himself.

42964

Every day
You must value
Your self-discipline-life.

42965

My Lord,
I shall not punish myself any more
With austerities —
The middle path is the only real path.

42966

If you do not change your life
Willingly,
God will change your life
Forcefully.

42967

Wisdom
Is self-sufficient.

42968

Wisdom does not need
Outer forces
To accomplish its task.

42969

Leave the mind-jungle immediately
And enter into the heart-garden,
O my God-seeker-friend!

42970

What does the desire-life do?
The desire-life
Blindly and forcefully binds us
To the world of ignorance.

42971

If it is a divine project,
Then intensity
Is of paramount importance.

42972

There are so many ways
To establish our oneness
With God’s Will,
But constant selfless activity
Is the fastest way.

42973

Desire says
It can do everything.

42974

Aspiration says:
“My Lord will do everything
For me.”

42975

Purity in the mind
Is
A most difficult achievement.

42976

Once we achieve purity
In the mind,
Every task becomes
Easier than the easiest.

42977

Eagerness has the capacity
To expedite
Anything that we undertake.

42978

The outer transformation
Of life
Is much more difficult
Than the inner transformation
Of the heart.

42979

Joy we can create
Only on the strength of self-giving
With no expectation.

42980

A seeker is responsible
For making the connection
Between his heart and God’s Eye.

42981

A real dream can take us
Farther than the farthest
To our Goal.

42982

Each meditation
Can take us one step closer
To God.

42983

The mind needs
Many, many things,
But the most important thing
The mind needs
Is illumination.

42984

Faith is
The constant awareness
Of God’s Will.

42985

The present-day world
Is unfortunately
Empty of harmony.

42986

If we can shed ceaseless tears,
Then our love of God
Immediately increases.

42987

A heart of God-devotion
Is always
Sweeter than the sweetest.

42988

The mind surrenders
To doubt,
Which is nothing short of
Destruction.

42989

A child-heart,
No matter what it does,
Pleases God immediately.

42990

We must first try
To imagine swiftness,
Not in our mind
But in our heart.

42991

Once swiftness is established
In the heart,
We receive tremendous confidence
From our soul
To be victorious in our life.

42992

It is very difficult for the mind
To have integrity,
But once integrity is achieved in the mind,
We can approach God’s Heart-Abode
From any direction.

42993

The human mind
Loves the term
‘Eternity’.

42994

The divine heart
Loves the term
‘Infinity’.

42995

The Eternal Dreamer in us
Loves the term
‘Immortality’.

42996

An act of obedience
Can immediately take us
To God’s Heart-Home.

42997

My silence-heart
Is a constant pride
Of God.

42998

Our dependence on God’s Will
Can hasten our life’s journey
Unimaginably.

42999

Every morning God sends
His Happiness-Messenger to us
To speed us towards our Goal,
With no fear.

43000

How can I know
What God’s Will is?
I can easily know
What God’s Will is
Just by shedding ceaseless tears
At the Feet of God.
