Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 1

Return to the table of contents

1

My Lord,
You have commanded me
To offer You
Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees.
I shall obey Your absolute Command.

2

My heart
Is one of my homes,
But my heart’s only Home
Is God.

3

To see the Face of God,
First I must devour
The Nectar-Dust
Of God’s Feet.

4

To see the Eye of God,
First I must become
The Heart of God.

5

Earth’s cry ascends,
But before it touches Heaven’s Eye,
It returns.

6

Heaven’s Smile descends,
But before it feels earth’s heart,
It returns.

7

My God-gratitude-heart
Is my soul’s
Rainbow-dance-ecstasy.

8

My Lord Supreme,
Do expedite the birth
Of my gratitude-heart.

9

Today my heart and I
Are exceedingly happy,
For we are seeing my mind’s
Ego-balloon
Losing its altitude very rapidly.

10

My Beloved Supreme,
I do not want to become
A computer-brain.
I wish to become only
A devotion-chain.

11

A sincerity-mind
Is a long road.
A purity-heart
Is a longer road.
A divinity-life
Is the longest road.

12

When the mind does not aspire,
It becomes a victim
To devastating and damaging thoughts.

13

It is not at all a difficult task
For the mind to become
Deliberately anti-divine.

14

O my mind,
How long will you enjoy
Your lame arguments
Against God’s Compassion-Eye?

15

An Avatar is he
Who receives from God Himself
The world-purifying breath.

16

An Avatar is he
Who receives from God Himself
The world-saving fingertips.

17

An Avatar is he
To whom God Himself tells
The world-illumining secrets.

18

An Avatar is he
Who receives from God Himself
God’s own Dreams
For God’s full manifestation
Here on earth.

19

An Avatar is he
Who gladly stoops beneath
The weight of world-sorrows.

20

Abiding satisfaction
Lies only
In the roots of faith.

21

The suspicious mind
And the sagacious heart
Can never amicably agree.

22

My Lord,
Do You really see and feel
My throbbing heart’s deep sobs for You?

“My child, I do, I do,
And I claim them
To be absolutely Mine!”

23

Each day with a spiritual Master
Is a life-saving
And
Life-shaping opportunity
For the disciple.

24

Every day my Lord passes
My frustration-examination.
Every night my Lord passes
My exasperation-examination.

25

O God-seekers,
How can you be such fools
That you do not realise
That each God-given task
Is a golden opportunity
For you to expedite
Your Godward journey?

26

O seeker,
Your soul is extremely embarrassed
To introduce you to God.

27

O seeker,
I feel extremely sorry for you!
Your entire life has become
A box of mind-worries.

28

I want to become
The beauty and fragrance
Of a self-disciplined life.

29

If you lack sincerity
In your spiritual life,
Then you will be heading
Towards NOTHING.

30

May my love of God
Swing
Into full action.

31

No more shall I allow
The temptation-snake
To bite my life.

32

I shall always
Feast my eyes
On God’s Lotus-Feet.

33

When I have a deep meditation,
I feel that my life is blossoming
Into a tree of paradise.

34

My sleepless surrender-heart
Is the official residence
Of my Lord’s Satisfaction-Eye.

35

To reach God’s Palace
You do not need an outer guide,
But you do need an inner cry.

36

Aspiration becomes frustration
When we want to fulfil our lives
In our own desperate way.

37

Every rule admits of exception
Under the law
Of supreme necessity.

38

When our surrender is complete,
We are able to fly
At a meteoric aspiration-speed.

39

You profess yourself
To be a wise seeker.
Then how is it that you still live
In your mind-desire-jungle?

40

His heart-aspiration-volcano
Has destroyed the bridge
Between his mind
And the vital world.

41

Do not worry,
My seeker-friend.
God has not told you
That you are a finished product.

42

Every night my soul comes
And tells my heart
To sleep in a field
Of dream-flowers.

43

God is so proud of me
Because I am totally lost
Inside my gratitude-heart.

44

You are saying that you have received
A new hope-supply.
That means God is dreaming
Through your new dreams.

45

God’s Compassion-Eye intervened
And prevented him
From needing mind-surgery.

46

Lovingly and compassionately
My soul is asking my heart
To immigrate
To God’s Satisfaction-Country.

47

Alas, why am I not allowing God
To handcraft my life
Inch by inch
According to His sweet Pleasure?

48

I have completely withdrawn my loyalty
To my doubting mind.
All my loyalties have now gone
To my aspiring heart.

49

Even if you sing prayerful songs
To an imaginary audience,
Your soul becomes
Extremely proud of you.

50

If you sincerely love this world,
Then no proof is necessary.
But if you do not love the world at all,
Then no proof will be sufficient.

51

Some are of the opinion
That God-manifestation
Is an impossibility,
While others think
That God-manifestation
Is a remote possibility.
Still others think that God-manifestation
Is a living reality.
I proudly and happily
Belong to the last category.

52

My perfection-loving heart
Is the personal secretary
Of God.

53

My mind’s hope
Comes and goes,
But my heart’s promise
Will never leave me.

54

True, I want to be a God-speaker,
But I want to be a God-seeker
Infinitely more.

55

God wants
Each and every aspiring heart
To be a universal peace-shrine.

56

God wants me to be a passenger
On His own Train,
And He Himself wants to take me
To His absolute Perfection-Station.

57

I have three places to meditate:
I meditate inside
My God-searching mind.
I meditate inside
My God-yearning heart.
I meditate inside
My God-serving life.

58

Most special souls
Love and treasure
God’s most simple Life.

59

Do not allow
Your anxiety-arrows
To pierce
Your aspiration-heart-blossoms.

60

Your blind imitation-mind
Can bring about for you
A life of tragedy.

61

My silence-heart
Has silenced
My mind’s loudspeaker-sound-pride.

62

A true God-seeker
Can enjoy
A divine symphony
With every breath.

63

I see a soulful song
Taking birth
In each heartbeat of mine.

64

May my failure-desire-life
Set
With the setting sun.

65

May my soul-fountain-hopes
Never become
A weeping heart.

66

All seekers are accepted
By God happily,
Even the ones who come to God
At the very last moment.

67

The promise-power
Of a positive thought
Cannot be measured.

68

Just listen to your soul’s
Charming whispers.
You can easily overthrow
Your mind-dictator.

69

A soulful hope
And a beautiful dream
Live together.

70

I value and treasure God’s Hope
Inside my heart’s garden
Infinitely more than I value and treasure
Anything else.

71

Life collects
Infinity’s
Smiling songs.

72

Death collects
Eternity’s
Sad stories.

73

The mind’s death-demolition
Can take place
When the seeker becomes
A God-gratitude-heart.

74

Hesitation not only unconsciously,
But even consciously,
Takes the longest road.

75

If you are a part-time seeker,
Then God will nowhere be discovered
By you.

76

Only a rank fool
Can indulge
In future phantom worries
And anxieties.

77

I implicitly trust the peace-seekers,
For I know that one day
They will become the peace-bringers.

78

When I become
A sincere God-seeker within,
God turns me into
A truth-seer without.

79

Each aspiration-heart
And each dedication-life
Is an exclusive God-Responsibility.

80

God invites only those
To dine with Him
Who have developed
A genuine God-hunger.

81

I must never allow
My God-manifestation-dream-blossoms
To wither.

82

Your stupidity knows no bounds!
You rely on your heart’s
Insecurity-tears.

83

The mind does everything wrong.
The poor heart, on behalf of the mind,
Has become a perpetual apology!

84

O my mind,
It is high time for you
To veer away
From the dark ignorance-path.

85

Always aim directly
At perfection-target
And at nothing else.

86

O seeker,
Do not allow your purity-heart
To be shrouded
By fear, doubt and anxiety.

87

No matter how hard we try
To be indifferent to our doubting mind,
The doubting mind monopolises
Our lives.

88

My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacity
Plus opportunity
To put an end
To my arrogance-ego-talk.

89

A devotion-flooded heart
Can easily avoid
The mind-trickster.

90

A staunch God-lover knows
That his heart has the capacity
To go far beyond
His mind’s authority-limits.

91

When you join the spiritual life,
You must consciously brace yourself
Against destructive ignorance-blows.

92

You and your heart-garden-beauty
And fragrance
Will always prevail.

93

God wants us to rise high
In our heart’s sky
To transform our earth-bound lives.

94

Long, long ago
I lodged my life
In God’s Heart-Home.

95

You absent yourself
From God’s Presence.
Poor God does not know
How to retaliate!

96

His inner life is nothing other
Than a beautiful harvest
Of prayers and meditations.

97

My beautiful meditation-birds
Fly before me
Before dawn arrives.

98

A hope-plant
Grows faster
Than any other plant.

99

Who can penetrate
The jungle-jumble-mind
That has no aspiration-cry?

100

You must never trivialise
Your God-given
Spiritual life.

101

Why are we such fools?
How is it that we do not feel
That we are privileged
To perform our God-given duties?

102

Pride
In any promise
Is simply intolerable.

103

I can clearly see
That the breath of Heaven
Every day
Feeds my God-surrender-soul.

104

It is not an impossibility
To have a pyramid-high dream
Every day.

105

Nobody can appreciate you
And nobody will
If you deliberately become
The destruction-cloud
Of disobedience.

106

We do not want to claim time.
But we do not realise
How time claims everything.

107

Do you want to enjoy a miracle?
It is very simple.
Always say “Yes!” to God!

108

O my mind,
Do not waste precious time
Making gigantic master plans.

109

The sun is in the west,
A rainbow is in the east,
But I am neither in the sun
Nor in the rainbow.
I am only in God’s Satisfaction.

110

The tears of my eyes
Are forced to live
In a chorus of clouds.

111

I pray to God every day
To make my mind
The brightest God-vision-star.

112

If you do not dare to stop
Your meandering thought-train,
Your goal will always remain
A far cry.

113

To hear God’s secret Whispers
Is to drink
Ecstasy-flooded dreams.

114

If you are indifferent
To name and fame,
Then certainly you are
Pleasing God
In a very special way.

115

Finally I have demolished
My mind’s
Doubt-tower.

116

God can easily answer
All our questions.
But He deliberately
Does not answer
Some of our questions
So that we can make
The fastest progress.

117

Forgiveness is a supreme virtue,
And this particular virtue
Can be practised by anybody.

118

Do not think!
Do not think!
The more you think,
The more you generalise
And categorise.
Thinking is of no avail
In the spiritual life.

119

A constantly questioning
And analysing mind
Does not even have the speed
Of an Indian bullock cart.

120

If there is no love-foundation,
There cannot be
Any perfection-edifice.

121

Each service-opportunity
Is, indeed,
A progress-joy.

122

Every day
God’s Compassion-Eye
Forgives our wild blunders.

123

O seeker, if you have
A non-stop
Enthusiasm-eagerness,
Then for you there can be
No goal unattainable.

124

Criticism decreases
The beauty and fragrance
Of the God-searching mind.

125

The seeker who has
Angel-soft eyes of sweetness
Makes very fast progress
In the spiritual life.

126

God’s Compassion
Is always eager
To carry us beyond our life’s
Self-styled limitation-zone.

127

Let your mind’s discipline
And heart’s patience
Perform their miracles for you.

128

No more shall I permit myself
To be buffeted
By my life’s desire-surges.

129

In the bloom of early hours,
God Himself comes
And takes
My meditation-attendance.

130

My debate with God
Is not only shameless
But also useless
In every possible way.

131

Every morning
God gives me an opportunity
To fly upon the wings
Of my devotion-songs.

132

Before leaving,
Try loving more,
Infinitely more.

133

Alas, how many God-dreams
Are waiting inside me
For their full manifestation!

134

I am determined
To make the fastest progress
In my spiritual life
And not be satisfied with my years
Of ping-pong progress.

135

Even the tiniest aspiration-tear
God treasures
In His Satisfaction-Heart.

136

In the morning,
I wish to be the sunrise-beauty
Of a climbing heart.
In the evening,
I wish to be the sunset-beauty
Of a sailing heart.

137

No more shall I allow
My life to be eclipsed
By failure-darkness
And failure-sadness.

138

Today’s
Peace-bloom-dreamer
Will become
Tomorrow’s
Peace-blossom-bestower.

139

My mind, you are versed
In the science of self-deception.
Can you not get a new life
By becoming versed
In self-illumination?

140

The birth-cry
Is Infinity’s beauty.
The death-cry
Is Eternity’s duty.

141

My Lord does not come alone
When He visits
My gratitude-heart.
He comes
With His Satisfaction-Embrace.

142

A God-seeker is he
Who has a prayerful song
In his heart
All the time for everyone.

143

I am kept alive
Only by
My God-hope-fragrance.

144

Do not allow
Your tomorrow’s unborn sorrows
To destroy your today’s
Fully-blossomed happiness.

145

The doubting mind
Will eventually be known
And convicted
As a misleader of mankind.

146

When impatience becomes
A God-seeker,
It will definitely meet its end
In a great disaster.

147

If we have soulfulness
Inside our heart,
Then we shall appreciate
And admire
The fulness of each moment.

148

Begin your spiritual life
By totally forgetting
Everything
That has disappointed you.

149

Be careful, O seeker!
Your every wasted opportunity
May cost a lifetime.

150

My Lord Supreme,
Do come and steal
All my heart-blossoms.

151

My Lord Supreme,
Do come and steer my heart-boat
In accordance with Your sweet Will.

152

I am eager
To take the earliest flight
From ignorance-land
To the land of wisdom-light.

153

Your self-help-quest
Will not lead you
A great distance.

154

Your weak and cowardly faith
Will not receive
A God-Palace-entrance-ticket.

155

Readiness, willingness
And eagerness
Can bless your life
With a new God-viewpoint.

156

I can hide everything,
Save and except
My mind’s frustration-tears.

157

I want to explore
The sacred secrets
Of my aspiration-heart.

158

Happily and proudly
I have relinquished
At long last
My ego-throne.

159

Purity in boundless measure
Resides inside the lotus
Of our aspiration-heart.

160

I am overwhelmed with joy
To see my real spiritual life
Blossoming again.

161

I am expediting
My life-journey
With beams of hope.

162

The power
Of the spiritual current
From his eyes
Cannot be fathomed.

163

His heart is seated
On the rose petal
Of sweetness, newness
And fulness.

164

A seeker’s heart
Sparkles
With beauty’s wisdom-stars.

165

O Pilot of my heart’s dreams,
You are the breath
Of my Godward journey!

166

I clearly see that my soul
Is in the galaxy
Of star-dreams.

167

If you do not aspire,
One day
You will find yourself
In dark thought-tunnels.

168

Each aspiring moment
Is Divinity’s
New birth.

169

Do not allow your heart
To be a trembling leaf
Of insecurity-night.

170

My soul tells my mind
That it has no right to mar
The beauty of my heart’s
Rising sun.

171

Each truth-seeker
Must make his heart-muscle
Stronger than the strongest.

172

O doubting mind,
I shall not allow you
To eclipse all my heart-dreams.

173

Forgiveness-flower
Is infinitely more beautiful
Than anything else.

174

He is so stupid!
He is enjoying
His self-congratulation-indulgence.

175

God’s Compassion-Eye
Has put me back
On the aspiration-road.

176

God is telling me
That I will do Him a big favour
If every day,
In the small hours of the morning,
I think of Him, pray to Him
And meditate on Him.

177

My searching mind
Is born to succeed.
My aspiring heart
Is born to proceed.

178

You can be
A personal relation to God
If you can raise
Your God-aspiration-standard.

179

I gave a special surprise to God
On His Birthday
By awakening from
My spiritual coma.

180

I have a very special surprise
For God’s Birthday:
My absolutely unconditional
Surrender-life.

181

God’s Compassion-Eye
Has taught me
How to become
A sleepless God-obedience-server.

182

I shall not allow
Even one ego-plant
To grow alongside
My heart-blossoms.

183

My Lord Supreme
Is heaving a sigh of relief
Because I am no longer
A friend of ignorance-night.

184

If God is our only escort
In our aspiration-dedication-life,
Then we shall arrive
At the destination safely.

185

Until we see the invisible
Inside the visible,
We must not be satisfied.

186

Each day God gives me
The capacity to offer humanity
A stream of inspiring
And aspiring deeds.

187

I am fully determined
To dismantle
All my evil thought-buildings.

188

God’s Satisfaction-Heart
Clears the path
For peace-pilgrims.

189

Every morning
When I pray and meditate,
God’s Compassion-Eye
Plucks the strings
Of my inner harp.

190

Delay not!
Immediately break
The age-old ignorance-chain
Of your mind.

191

Every morning
God deposits
His special Blessings
In your heart-safe.

192

We have to ascend
To our summit-heights
To transcend and transform
Our mind.

193

My mind,
Enough of your arrogance!
Enough of your self-indulgence!

194

I am so happy
That my mind’s
Temptation-indulgence-days
Are numbered.

195

He has an overwhelming urge
Not to speak
To God,
But to speak
For God.

196

God is holding back
His real Smile
Until the boundaries of the world
Are no more.

197

Only God-lovers are entitled
To be members
Of the perfection-assembly
Of the cosmic gods and goddesses.

198

Today’s beautiful gratitude
Will become
Tomorrow’s powerful surrender.

199

No matter which country
We go to,
God-surrender-lovers
Are extremely rare.

200

God’s Pride
In His cheerful surrender-children
Is unimaginable.

201

God did not mean
To frighten your mind.
He just wanted
To enlighten your mind.

202

To become flawless children
Of God,
We must remain firmly seated
In His Compassion-Sailboat.

203

Too often we neglect
Our God-ordained tasks;
Therefore, our perfection-life
Remains a far cry.

204

I see God on rare occasions.
But I keep meeting
His Compassion-Eye
And Forgiveness-Heart
Every day.

205

I cannot believe
That today my mind
Is singing soul-carols.

206

Our heart’s purity
Embodies
Measureless strength.

207

There is always a choice for me:
Either to place my life
At the Feet of God
Or to place my life
In the hands of my mind.

208

The only way
To sing God’s Victory
Is to sing the songs
That my soul sings.

209

I know, my Lord,
How much You love me.
But do You know
How much I love You?

210

A long string of successes
In his outer life
Has extinguished his heart’s
God-loving aspiration-flames.

211

If you have the power
In your mind
To rule the world,
Never use it!
If you have the love
In your heart
To become the world itself,
Then use it!

212

When I am inside my mind-prison,
I serve time.
When I am inside my heart-garden,
I love time.

213

His tranquillity-mind
Is not affected,
Although problems are tumbling
One on top of another.

214

Not only unconsciously
But also consciously
My God-doubting mind
Is in league
With the hostile forces.

215

If you have an iota of peace
In your mind,
Then you cannot snarl
And growl
At other seekers.

216

Nothing can ever
Compensate God
For His infinite Compassion
For us.

217

We must be always
On the royal road
To the palace
Of God-manifestation.

218

When I lost contact
With my soul,
I became as destitute
As a street beggar.

219

You are absolutely wrong
When you expect God
To placate you.

220

Our Beloved Lord cries and cries
When He sees
That we are consciously allowing
Impatience to assail us.

221

The smallest act
Of self-offering
Can give us
An ocean-vast joy.

222

To smite our doubt-foe,
Let us bring to the fore
Our faith-sword.

223

When our soul-birds carry us
On their blue-gold wings,
They take us directly to paradise.
There is no stopover on the way.

224

You too can be
A great God-manifestation-hero,
If you can specialise
In sterling devotion.

225

My Lord Supreme took me aside
For a moment
To speak to me in a silence-whisper:
“My child, I desperately need
Both your love and concern.”

226

You do not need a high soul
To embark on your God-journey.
What you need is a high goal.

227

My mind admits
That it arrives nowhere
When it deliberately speaks ill
Of my heart.

228

A God-loving seeker
Has a lifetime supply
Of God-Smiles.

229

When God is really pleased
With our aspiration and dedication,
He shows us the private entrance
To His celestial Abode.

230

At the beginning of time,
God gave us a route
To reach Him.
Those who think
They have discovered
A new route to God
Are all mistaken.

231

There are some people
Who enjoy having a face-lift.
I am not one of those!
But please give me
A faith-lift,
Which I desperately need.

232

If your life-breath
Is in your devotion-tears,
Then your Goal
Is within your reach.

233

Everything in his life
Is weakened
By his long ignorance-imprisonment.

234

Constant disobedience-fire
Within —
Total destruction-smoke
Without.

235

Man’s constant ingratitude
Is God’s
Everyday experience.

236

Nobody has forced me
To play the sad flute
Of a failure-life.

237

Even my soul-stirring
Heart-peace-melody
Cannot satisfy my mind.

238

A God-lover’s obedience
Crowns his days
With boundless satisfaction.

239

God tells me that
My love-devotion-surrender-letters
Do not need perfect grammar.

240

If you live in your mind-jungle
All the time,
You are bound to suffer
From God-disobedience-blunders.

241

God will come and embrace you
Only if you are prepared
To throw yourself headlong
Into the aspiration-sea.

242

My aspiration-heart-room
Is always
Impurity-proof.

243

I am constantly searching
For my heart’s
Blissful peace-hermitage.

244

Desire-fed worldly people
Are definitely
Homeless wanderers
In the inner life.

245

God says to me
That He has read
More than He needed to
Of my promise-failure-letters.

246

My willingness-heart-wealth
Is my soul’s
Very special treasure.

247

You are bound to arrive
At your Goal
If you continue to follow
God’s discipline-schedule.

248

A purity-heart
Is entitled to have
Sacredness-breath.

249

My God-faith
And my God-devotion
Are my two most reliable oars.

250

Nothing is incurable!
Nothing is unchangeable!
This should be the slogan
Of the God-believer.

251

To his great shock and surprise,
Man chains himself
To the pillar of suffering.

252

Every day my aspiration-heart
Makes a soulful flute
For me to play.

253

Whenever I have a deep meditation,
I hear God’s Nectar-Messages
Resonate in my delight-heart.

254

My soul is using
All its divine light
To unearth my mind’s
Doubt-landmines.

255

Every morning
I deeply enjoy
My soul-fragrance-walk
Through my heart-garden.

256

If you want to make
The fastest progress,
Try to stay as long as you can
In the sweet presence
Of a God-lover.

257

Bind God’s Feet
With your heart’s love.
You will see your soul
Blinding your desire-eyes.

258

The step from God-realisation
To God-manifestation
Can be infinitely longer
Than you can ever imagine.

259

After staying on the spiritual path
For a long time,
If you leave the path,
Your life becomes a compendium
Of spiritual disasters.

260

To pilot our aspiration-plane,
We need
A God-lover-pilot.

261

O unfortunate seeker,
Do not worry.
God Himself will come
To take you out of your mind’s
Impurity-tragedy-school.

262

Alas, what has happened to me?
How is it that I have all of a sudden
Become a victim
Of my doubt-dominated mind?

263

This morning God planted
Inside my heart
A special kind of faith-tree
That will climb far above
My mind’s doubt-clouds.

264

I am determined
To stop living
Inside the forest
Of my God-forgetfulness-mind.

265

If we do not aspire
And offer our love to God
In the morning,
Then the whole day
Becomes a dull monotony
Of mechanical efforts.

266

Those who do not get
Spontaneous joy
From the rainbow-dawn
Will find the day
A total failure.

267

I plan to restart
My spiritual life anew.
This time my spiritual life
Will be “God for God’s sake.”

268

May my life become
The goodness
Of a newness-hope
And the greatness
Of a fulness-promise.

269

As soon as you enter
Into the spiritual life,
You must kindle
The flame of self-awareness.

270

Truth has the capacity to shatter
And it ultimately does shatter
The pride of cynicism.

271

My soul is advising me
To smile
As if I never had
A darkness-mind.

272

The beauty of peace
And the fragrance of bliss
Shall remain together forever.

273

Why should God’s Compassion-Eye
Wait for you?
Walk, march, run and sprint
Towards God!
What for?
For your own satisfaction!

274

Once I saw an inspiration-sun
Inside my eyes.
But now I see a destruction-volcano
Inside my eyes.

275

To our great sorrow,
Our mind quite often enjoys
A hesitation-festival.

276

My Supreme tells me
Again and again
That His Promise-Land
Is inside my fragrance-heart
And nowhere else.

277

My mind enjoys
Competition-fire.
My heart enjoys
Cooperation-stars.

278

The security of the heart
Longs for God’s Command.
Insecurity seeks its own company.

279

My heart lives
On God’s
Compassion-Protection-Smiles.

280

My Lord, every day
At every moment
I implore Your absolute Command.

281

If you claim any superiority
Over others,
Then you are nowhere
Near perfection.

282

To serve one’s Master
With sterling devotion
Is, indeed, the fastest way
To arrive at God’s Palace.

283

I do not look
For a man-made crown,
But I sleeplessly and breathlessly long
For God’s Compassion-Eye.

284

When I do not aspire,
When I do not pray
And when I do not meditate,
My mind becomes the heavy weight
Of futile frustration.

285

Alas, my mind
Is a blighted dream
And my heart
Is a dashed hope.

286

To become an excellent instrument
Of my Lord Supreme,
At every moment I must offer Him
My heart’s delight-tears.

287

I do not know when and how
Depression has found a home
In my vital.

288

No matter how hard we try,
It is almost impossible
To escape our desire-prison.

289

God has kept in front of you
Both desire-wings and aspiration-wings.
Why are you not using aspiration-wings
To fly to God’s Summit-Palace?

290

My mind
Is trained on God,
But my heart
Was trained by God.

291

Every day
I want to hear
God’s Victory-celebration-drums.

292

Only the music
Of the aspiration-heart
Can unlock the door
Of Heaven.

293

My heart dresses
In rainbows
To pay a visit
To my Lord Supreme.

294

If you ever lose your life’s
God-surrender-keys,
Then how will you unlock
God’s Heart-Door?

295

To know what is destined
Is unnecessary.
But to know what role
You are supposed to play
In God’s Cosmic Play
Is absolutely necessary.

296

Together they went to God:
My aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life.

297

Do not expect God
To approve everything you do
And everything you say.
Just pray to God
To give you the capacity
To do the right thing always.

298

God does not always want you
To come Home immediately.
If you are totally exhausted,
Then take rest
Until you can resume your journey.

299

There is every possibility
That one day our mind-knowledge
Will explode
And our heart-wisdom
Will expand.

300

Our high-altitude God-visions
Will ultimately transform
The four corners of the globe.

301

The computer-mind-speed
Will never be able
To save the world.

302

The oneness-heart-speed
Will definitely be able
Not only to save the world
But to elevate the world.

303

There is no reason
Why your aspiration-decline
Has to last
For such a long time.

304

O my doubt-enemy,
I never thought
That you would be
So formidable.

305

There is nothing wrong
With each and every generation
Defining God.

306

As we are addicted
To outer rules and regulations,
Even so,
We should be devoted
To our inner laws and ordinances.

307

May each newborn thought
In my mind
Open immediately its eyes
To my heart’s inner light.

308

I do not know
If any great soul
Does not suffer
From oppressive
And weighty problems.

309

God wants me to destroy
My mind-computer completely
To avert my spiritual disaster.

310

If your aspiration-heart
Is devoid of intensity,
Your God-realisation
Will always remain a far cry.

311

To begrudge the happiness
Of others
Is to delay one’s own happiness
Indefinitely.

312

To my great joy,
My mind’s doubt-interest
Is rapidly waning.

313

Each human life
So often is found
In a bewildering sea
Of uncertainty.

314

O my mischief-making mind,
One day you are bound
To sit at the Feet
Of my God-loving heart.

315

I am so proud to see
That all my doubts
Are proudly finishing
Their last acts.

316

I tried to please man
In his own way.
I have failed!
Now I am trying to please God
In His own Way.
My Lord says to me:
“My child, you have already done it!”

317

Alas, in vain I am trying and trying
To come out of my medley
Of confusing and confused thoughts.

318

When the simplicity-safeguard-life,
The sincerity-safeguard-mind
And the purity-safeguard-heart
Work together,
They prove that they are invincible.

319

The fog of our uncertainty-mind
Does not dare to come
Near our soul
When it whispers
To our heart.

320

My expectation-boat has capsized.
Therefore, I am now ready
To embark on the real spiritual life.

321

My soul has come forward
To train my life
To the highest pitch
Of God-reliance.

322

My Lord’s unconditional
Compassion-Eye
Is bulldozing all my doubts
Out of the way.

323

God and God’s Concern
Always escort me
All the way
To my Divinity’s Home.

324

My paradise is only inside
My God-gratitude-heart,
And nowhere else.

325

God has told my surrender-life
And gratitude-heart
That they can enter
The court of Heaven
At any time that they want to.

326

If you can please God
In God’s own Way
Here on earth,
Then instead of trembling,
You will be dancing
When you arrive at the gate of death.

327

May my aspiration-heart-speed
Be faster than
The fleetest of horses.

328

Each time I sing
A God-Victory-song,
God asks me to mount
His own
World-manifestation-chariot.

329

God loves only
The love inside me
That He has already
Given me.

330

So far,
Nobody has discovered
A successful remedy
For an ingratitude-mind.

331

No matter what I do,
God always keeps me
In His Heart-Embrace.

332

For a human mind
Not to have restless thoughts
Is almost an impossibility.

333

To sit on the throne of time,
Our life has to be armed
With prayers and meditations.

334

My heart enjoys
Regular adventures
In my soul’s country.

335

God’s Grace embodies
Not only enlightenment
But also enchantment.

336

By staying always
In a state of depression,
You make your Lord Supreme
Extremely unhappy.

337

Each time you deliberately
Do something wrong,
You must realise
You are sinking once more
Below the waves of ignorance-sea.

338

The mind has to be freed
From unlit thought-hunger
Every day.

339

The soul invites
The heart, mind, vital and body
To accompany it
While it is swimming
In God’s Ocean of Bliss.
Only the heart at times
Accepts the invitation.

340

God’s Forgiveness-Power
Is the magic touch
Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

341

Disobedience does not know
That it will be chased
By destruction.

342

O my mind,
God’s Will is not
An object of frustration,
But it is
An object of adoration.

343

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Smile
Is within easy reach
Of my gratitude-heart.

344

Tears stream
From the Heart-Eye of God
When I say that
I am not meant for
The spiritual life.

345

May my aspiration-heart-tree
Every day offer
Fresh and sacred blossoms.

346

Without faith,
A man is like
A waterless cloud.

347

God does not mind
If I quarrel with Him,
As long as I agree
At the end of the quarrel
That I am wrong and He is right.

348

God is so pleased
That I have requested Him
To undertake
My mind-transformation-task.

349

My purity-heart
Is my only
Safe shelter.

350

You get no satisfaction-result
From your spiritual life
Because for you
God is only a word,
Nothing more.

351

You must increase
Your imagination-height,
Your inspiration-height
And your aspiration-height
All at the same time
Every day.

352

If you want to sit
In the front seat of God’s Car,
Then you must offer Him first
The beauty and fragrance
Of your aspiration-heart-flower.

353

A soulful question
Always receives
A blessingful answer.

354

I am so happy
That my mind
Is totally disappointed
With playing with doubt.

355

I have replaced most happily
My mind-victory-thirst
With my God-Victory-hunger.

356

When the oneness-heart
Comes to the fore,
Victory cannot remain invisible.

357

To me, a powerful
And blessingful Smile
From my Lord
Is far more significant
Than the Bliss of Heaven.

358

I am always hungry
For God’s Peace-Breakfast
And not man’s power-lunch.

359

O my mind,
Do not remain anymore
A spirituality-spectator,
But become
A spirituality-participant!

360

Only when I become
A sacred mind
Does God share with me
His secret Thoughts.

361

To seal all the ignorance-holes
Of the mind
Is imperative.

362

My life becomes a wave of joy
When my heart
Is armed with faith.

363

Because of your
Devouring doubt-mind,
God does not want
To be visible to you.

364

I am truly, powerfully
And endlessly proud
Of my oneness-blossoming
And oneness-spreading heart.

365

My Lord’s
Forgiveness-Heart-Nest
Has captured me and my all.

366

My Lord’s Satisfaction-Smile
Is my only reason
For living on earth.

367

Three things have to be done
Sooner than at once:
My God-aspiration,
My God-realisation
And my God-manifestation.

368

I need only
God’s Compassion-Eye
To remain in
My life’s control-tower.

369

Each time my life makes progress,
God sings a special Pride-Song
For me and my life.

370

Man’s faith-gift-offering
To God
Is man’s highest achievement.

371

My Lord,
Do show me the way
To undo the wrongs
That I have already done.

372

My Lord,
From this very moment
I shall destroy my age-old
Ignorance-attachment.

373

My Lord,
Come quickly and break my head
Into millions of pieces
To save my poor heart!

374

Encouraging
Is my God-search.
Inspiring
Is my God-chosen path.
Fulfilling
Are my God-offering-cries.

375

Secretly I wait
In my Lord’s Heart-Room,
Devotedly to serve Him
When He is in need.

376

The finish line is at once
Blissful to see
But painful to reach.

377

The more I am generous
With my heart,
The more I am precious
In God’s Heart.

378

When we are our indomitable will,
The temptation-wall falls down
At our feet.

379

Do not enter into
The temptation-tunnel.
It is inexplicably dark.

380

Nobody can force you
To have doubt
On every page
Of your life-book.

381

The mind is satisfied
With good fortune.
The heart is only satisfied
With God-fortune.

382

O seeker, no more rest!
It is high time for you
To resume your aspiration-ascent.

383

Only with your heart’s
Devotion-tears
Can you sound
God’s Victory-Trumpet.

384

My Lord,
In my inner world,
You are my secret hope.
In my outer world,
You are my sacred promise.

385

You say that
You do not know
When God is pleased with you.
I am telling you the supreme secret:
God is pleased with you
Only when you are pleased with Him.

386

One by one
The soul offers its divinities
To the Absolute Supreme.

387

My Lord, my Lord,
It is only at Your Compassion-Feet
That my gratitude-heart’s bumper crop
Grows.

388

There is a constant
Affection-play
Between my soul and my heart.
There is also a constant
Attachment-play
Between my mind and my vital.

389

My bleeding heart
Has the prayerful capacity
To touch the pinnacle
Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

390

The world mistrusts you
And mistreats you.
But love the world all the more,
For that is what God expects
From you.

391

My Lord,
You never waste
Even an iota of time.
May I not be
Your most devoted follower?

392

The doubting mind does not realise
That it is engaged in a headlong rush
Towards its own destruction.

393

God wants both God-lovers
And God-servers
To remain always on the alert.

394

My heart strongly feels
That there are more God-yearning lovers
Than God-manifesting servers.

395

Be careful of your
Overconfidence-sermon!
God is listening.

396

Each sincere prayer
Is a sincere effort
To catch the doubt-thief
In our mind.

397

I am so proud
Of my aspiration-heart
For radiating sunshine-beauty
Around my life.

398

Unlike the mind,
No matter how weak the heart is,
It does not betray God’s Trust.

399

Do not hide from the eye
Of criticism.
Face it and disgrace it!

400

True, obstacles may seem to be
Insurmountable,
But they are no match
For God’s Compassion-Eye.

401

Ask not:
“Why?”
Say:
“It is all done!”

402

God’s faith
In me
Admits of no doubt.

403

The mind
Is a world-peace-stranger
And
A world-peace-strangler.

404

The heart
Is a world-peace-dreamer
And
A world-peace-lover.

405

The inevitable necessity
Must
Be fulfilled.

406

Man-question
Is a soldier.
God-answer
Is a singer.

407

Regret-torture
Can easily
Be avoided.

408

Nothing can resist the mind
When it becomes
A God-determination-manifestation-rock.

409

The tears of my heart
At every moment cherish
God-Affection-Smiles.

410

In vain the computer-mind
Tries to silence
The oneness-beauty
Of the aspiring heart.

411

The athlete of the heart
Runs and jumps
Inside the soul’s
Illumination-garden.

412

God blesses
Doubt-conquering faith
With peace-sun-satisfaction.

413

Every Avatar
Is a new
God-Arrival-announcer.

414

My God-expansion-heart and I
Are enjoying
My mind’s ego-explosion.

415

My intense and unreserved
Love of God
Has many times surpassed
The speed of time.

416

The light in the heart of man
Can easily guide
The eyes of man.

417

Life’s tasteless fruits
Can be turned into sweetness itself
By God’s Compassion-Touch.

418

O my mind,
What makes you think
That you can always sit
In the judgement seat?

419

My soul’s voiceless voice
Always remains
Close to my heart.

420

The stars of the sky
Always adorn
Only the brave.

421

An Avatar is he
Who lovingly and faithfully
Brings the longing of man
To the Absolute Supreme.

422

Be on the alert always!
At any moment
You can stumble
On the way to Heaven.

423

God treasures
Your gratitude-tears
More than anything else.

424

How beautiful, charming,
Illumining and fulfilling
Is my rising moon
Above the horizon!

425

Be careful
Of your dissatisfied mind.
It can before long
Become rebellious.

426

God blows His Joy-Whistles
In the child-heart
Of the seeker.

427

The ecstasy-flooded flute
Of the soul
Never stops playing.

428

At last
My mind is freed
From desire-headaches!

429

Do not forget
To keep your vital-tiger
On a very short leash.

430

He is really fortunate
Who does not have to carry
Excess attachment-weight.

431

Worries, anxieties and frustrations
Are found in abundant measure
On the temptation-road.

432

Change your inner attitude first!
Your outer environment
Will automatically change.

433

I have two rooms to live in:
My illumining mind-room
And
My beautifying heart-room.

434

My soul is teaching my heart
How to climb up
To the very summit of self-giving.

435

Rich imagination you need.
Richer inspiration you need.
Richest aspiration you need.

436

It seems each and every
Individual mind
Is susceptible
To frustration-torture.

437

Man’s desire-story
Will become
A fable.

438

Man’s aspiration-songs
Will become
A legend.

439

To desire God
Is a common
Hunger.

440

To satisfy God
Is an exquisitely uncommon
Meal.

441

In my own life
I shall become
A God-satisfaction-tower
That can never be tarnished.

442

Offer a smile-gift
To every eye.
Your God-hunger-heart
Will be nourished.

443

The neutral moment
And
The compromising hour
Will never succeed.

444

Heartily embrace
The challenge
Of human nature-transformation.

445

My heart and I proudly observe
The funeral procession
Of my ignorance-mind.

446

The earth-bound desire-mind
Is apt to swim
In a goalless circle.

447

My pure soul
Receives undeserved mistreatment
From my body, vital and mind.

448

My soul is my perfect
Mind-purification-
Counsellor.

449

My heart is my strict
Mind-ignorance-appointment-
Canceller.

450

Every morning
God blesses me
With a new aspiration-tear
And a new dedication-smile.

451

Every day
I expand my tiny heart
With streaming tears
To please my Lord Supreme.

452

Every day try to feel
The blossoming goodness
Of others
As your very own.

453

Your heart’s God-surrender-joy
Can easily conquer
Your mind’s doubt-thoughts.

454

If you are looking for peace,
Then look for it
Inside your oneness-heart-depth,
And nowhere else.

455

The beauty of newness
And
The fragrance of willingness
Can easily be found
Inside the eagerness-heart.

456

Tears of joy
Can purify and illumine
The sorrows of the heart.

457

Deep meditation
Does have the power
To remove all mind-barriers.

458

My God-willingness-heart
Has melted
All my mind-resistance.

459

God is ready to speak to me
Only when I offer Him
My silence-heart.

460

God tells His Life-History in full —
Lovingly, affectionately
And self-givingly —
To the unconditional surrender-life
Of a seeker.

461

My aspiration, my dedication
And my realisation —
Everything that I have and I am —
Is in the ever-blossoming process
Of God’s Will-fulfilment.

462

May my life be full
Of everything
That is spiritually beautiful,
Soulful and fruitful!

463

If you have patience
In abundant measure,
You can succeed
In your outer life.

464

If you have surrender
In boundless measure,
You can succeed
In your inner life.

465

It seems that we all have
Two hearts within us:
One heart is for God-adoration
And
One heart is for man-admiration.

466

My negativity-mind disappears
The moment I accept
God’s Will as my own will.

467

My gratitude-heart
Always bears testimony
To my Lord’s Compassion-Flood.

468

A sleepless gratitude-heart
Is tantamount
To a great miracle.

469

The Smiles that we receive
From our Lord Beloved Supreme
For manifesting Him on earth
Can never be calculated
By our human mind.

470

God feasts His Eyes
On the happiness-news
That my heart offers to Him.

471

The exquisite beauty of the soul
Can never be robbed
By human desires.

472

My Lord, like You
I do not want to spend
Even a fleeting moment
Complaining.

473

My Lord, like Your Heart
I want my heart also
To be empty of anger
And frustration.

474

Alas, my uncertainty-mind and I
Have been living together
For a very long time!

475

Even though I do not have
Any right,
God does not mind
If I ask Him for a favour.

476

God tells me
That if I want to start again
With my spiritual life,
Then I must abandon immediately
All my guilt-miseries.

477

I treasure every peace-thought
Of my mind
Inside my God-gratitude-heart.

478

One single God-Compassion-Look
Is the master-key
That unlocks and discards
All my mind-problems.

479

Not the happiness
That comes and goes,
But the silence-fulness
That comes and never goes
Is what I need.

480

Today we can avoid God’s Will,
Perhaps even tomorrow,
But we cannot forever and forever
Avoid God’s Will.

481

You may not believe
In the power of your prayer,
But God firmly believes in it.

482

The destined Hour has struck!
I must place
My disobedience-insolence-mind
At the Feet
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

483

All the beauty
Of the world within
And the world without
Has the same Source:
God’s Compassion-Eye.

484

O my devotion-heart-fountain,
Where are you?
I have been searching for you
For such a long time!

485

I must obliterate
My past
Failure-life-torture.

486

The hostile forces
Fail to catch me
When I become a completely
God-dependent seeker.

487

I enjoy Immortality’s Nectar-Bliss
The moment I receive
From my Master
A sweetness-affection-smile.

488

When I pray and meditate
To please God in His own Way,
He tells me:
“My child, I am giving you
A mind inundated with silence-peace.”

489

O seeker, do not waste your time
Thinking of the distance
To your destination.
I tell you in secrecy supreme
That your destination
Is much closer than you think.

490

My Lord, my only desire:
The capacity
To devotedly blossom
At Your Lotus-Feet.

491

To reach your loftiest
Aspiration-summit-height,
Offer all your gratitude-tears
And gratitude-smiles
Simultaneously
To God’s Compassion-Eye.

492

My humility-mind
And my purity-heart
Are my life’s real safeguards.

493

Finally my heart’s wisdom-key
Has unlocked all my mind’s
Obstruction-doors.

494

Let my mind
Be as old as the world itself,
But I want my heart
To be as young as a bud.

495

The heart that is inspired
By God’s Compassion-Eye
Does not need wings to fly.

496

May my mind
Be fully aware
Of disobedience-disasters.

497

Quite often the enthusiasm
Of the human mind
Is next to zero.

498

It is an easy task
For the doubting mind
To be a gossip-collector.

499

Under God’s Protection-Eye,
Not even a weakling
Can stumble.

500

With my soul’s adamantine
Will-power,
I have trampled my disobedience-mind
Into the dust.

501

My soul has made
A blessingful promise
To my heart, mind
Vital and body
To show them God’s Face.

502

My Lord has kept His Promise.
All Heaven-born dreams
Are flowering
Inside my life.

503

Avoid
The confusion-life-abyss
All the time!

504

I have buried
My yesterday’s mind
Completely.

505

It is unnecessary to be
Today
What we were yesterday.

506

God’s unconditional Grace
Has descended.
My desert-mind is blooming
And blossoming.

507

Anything unconditional
Surprises
Everybody.

508

When aspiration
Is tired of aspiring,
Confusion comes to the fore
And becomes the ruler.

509

My Lord,
Your express Command
I humbly take
As my life-heart-song.

510

A genuinely aspiring heart
Asks everything for God
And nothing for itself.

511

May my heart every day
Become
A God-satisfying prayer.

512

O my mind,
Finally your total
Transformation-time
Has arrived!

513

Just one Compassion-Smile
From my Lord Supreme
Is needed
To change my mind’s bitterness
Into my heart’s sweetness.

514

To my greatest joy,
Meditation-silence once more
Is rising in my heart.

515

The human mind
Is terribly afraid
Of the presence
Of divine Love.

516

God loves immensely
Even my amateur
God-aspiring heart
And God-serving life.

517

Every day I pray to God
To bless me with the capacity
To offer Him a sumptuous
Gratitude-meal.

518

No mind can come
To God’s Country
Without crossing
God’s Silence-Bridge.

519

If you are not one hundred percent
On God’s side,
God will not give you His Ladder
To climb up to His highest Height.

520

For the poor seekers
Vacation is granted,
But not for the rich seekers.

521

God is extremely fond
Of my life’s
Pilgrim-progress-smile.

522

My joy knows no bounds
Because today I have turned over
A new
Love-devotion-surrender-leaf.

523

Desire-fulfilment
And life-enlightenment
Are never allowed to meet together
By my Lord Supreme.

524

In the morning
I take two deep breaths:
A blossoming hope-breath
And a fulfilling promise-breath.

525

To silence my desire-storm,
My life and I
Have prayerfully placed our surrender
At the Feet
Of our Lord Beloved Supreme.

526

God asks
My desiring mind
To leave Him alone.

527

God is making
My aspiring heart
Ready to be
His Divinity’s Throne.

528

All my world-fears have vanished
Into thin air
Since I have taken shelter
Inside my God’s Smile.

529

Every morning
God blessingfully helps me
To be on the same wavelength
As His Sweetness-Compassion-Whispers.

530

The stronger your
God-obedience-loyalty,
The faster you will run
Towards God’s Palace.

531

God gives us the capacity
To be uniquely qualified
Not only for His infinite Grace,
But also for His immortal Pride.

532

Every day,
Each and every inspiring,
Aspiring and self-giving thought
I celebrate
With my God-gratitude-joy.

533

I shake my head in utter disbelief
When my Lord tells me
I am a choice instrument of His.

534

How beautiful and how powerful
Is the silver whisper
Of a golden dream!

535

If our God-gaze is fixed
And unwavering,
Then God invites us
To come and play with Him
For as long as we want to.

536

My soul does not believe
In games of secrecy.
My soul believes only
In games of ecstasy.

537

My soul’s two favourite pastimes:
Self-offering
And God-manifestation.

538

O my willingness, do not delay!
Eagerness is waiting for you
At your door
So both of you can start
Your Godward journey.

539

Every morning I offer two songs
To my Lord Beloved Supreme:
My mind’s enthusiasm-song
And my heart’s gratitude-song.

540

My soul is fully confident
That eventually my doubting mind
Will surrender
And follow my aspiring heart.

541

Alas,
I am totally shocked to see
That my aspiration-credit card
Expired long ago.

542

Invariably my soul caters
To my heart’s
God-hunger.

543

O my mind, be not a fool!
Do not swing all the time
On your indecisiveness-pendulum.
Like my heart, swing on
Your God-devotion-pendulum.

544

Be strong, be brave, be perfect
In every way
So that no unaspiring human being
Can drag you
And your aspiration down!

545

My aspiring heart
And my serving life
Are finally enjoying
The surrender of my God-doubting
And God-denying mind.

546

May my obedience-mind
Stand like an immortal statue
In my heart-garden.

547

My Lord wants me
To chat with Him
More than He wants me
To sing for Him.

548

My Lord,
When I deliberately absent myself
From Your Presence,
My life becomes
A living nightmare.

549

My Lord Supreme
Wants me to believe
That I am infinitely higher
And stronger
Than I imagine.

550

God-realisation
Is far beyond
The flight of imagination.

551

Satisfaction shall greet
All your efforts
If surrender looms large
In your life.

552

He started with willingness,
But on his way to God,
Eagerness met him
And accompanied him.

553

Life’s experiences
Roam
On zigzag roads.

554

You do not have time,
But God has plenty of time.
Therefore, He does not mind
Crying for you.

555

Sleepless faith is necessary
To nurture
One’s fastest aspiration-speed.

556

God gives His private number
Only to the aspiring heart
And not to the torturing mind.

557

What you need
Is the beauty of discipline
And not the storm
Of self-indulgence.

558

The mind’s sunrise
Is quite baffling.
The mind’s sunset
Is so inspiring.

559

My mind,
Have nerves of steel!
Doubt is fast approaching you.

560

Although I meet my Lord
Only on rare occasions,
I love Him more
Than I could ever imagine.

561

I thought my journey
Towards God’s Palace
Would be quite short.
But now I see that
This was a tragic miscalculation.

562

God asks me
To come to Him
With sacred steps,
And not with secret steps.

563

The human mind
Is so often afraid
Of striking out
Against injustice-night.

564

A purity-heart just loves
To embrace God’s Will
All the time.

565

You just become
A total surrender-life.
God Himself will hoist
Your victory-banner.

566

My soul tells me
That God will succeed
Only when I proceed.

567

My Lord, do You really
Care for me?
“My child, I do!
I do not have anything better
To do.”

568

My Lord, do You really
Care for me?
“My child, I do!
I feel this is the best thing
I can do
For our inseparable oneness.”

569

My Lord, do You really
Care for me?
“My child, there was a time
When I cared for you,
But not now!
Do you know why?
In those days you claimed Me
As your own.
Alas, now your soul tells Me
That this is a long-forgotten story.”

570

God tells me
To stay at His Feet
Not only devotedly
But also proudly.

571

There is no stormy day
In human life
That cannot be transformed
Into the brightest sunrise.

572

Peace is within your reach.
Do not be afraid
Of touching it,
Feeling it
And claiming it.

573

Two key questions
Of human life:
Does God really care
For humanity?
Does God really need humanity?

574

An unbearable disaster:
The Master asked the disciple
To leave.

575

An unthinkable disaster:
The disciple left
The Master.

576

When the Master
Asks the disciple to leave,
He may give the disciple another chance
In the course of time.

577

When the disciple
Leaves the Master,
The Master is under no obligation
To take the disciple back.

578

Somehow we allow
Untold sufferings
To loom large
On our heart’s horizon.

579

God expects everybody
To be an excellent learner
In His Heart-School.

580

No more
Shall I remain
A world-compliment-begging
Mind.

581

Every day I pray and pray
And pray to God
To bless me
With a oneness-blossoming heart.

582

Your willingness-signal
Has made God
Immensely happy.

583

My Lord,
I am praying to You
For Your inner Affection
And not for Your outer Attention.

584

A sweetness-heart
Has a free access
To God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

585

Like my heart,
I shall make my mind also
A hallowed purity-shrine.

586

In spirituality
The inner oneness
And outer fulness
Must go together.

587

A God-blossoming heart
I sleeplessly longed for,
And now I have it.

588

Where do I live?
I live in between
My mind’s ingratitude-jungle
And my heart’s gratitude-garden.

589

An insincerity-mind
Must be kept
Under control.

590

True, I have done many things
Uninspiring, unillumining
And unfulfilling,
But I feel that I am
Accountable
Only to my Lord Supreme.

591

My soul is telling my heart
That it will be very happy
Only if my heart lives
In God’s Neighbourhood.

592

Alas, I have been fighting
And fighting
With my stubborn mind!

593

God is working day and night
To establish His permanent friendship
With my mind.

594

I am happy when I have
God’s Eye
Inside my heart.

595

I am happier when I see
God’s Heart
Inside my heart.

596

I am happiest when I feel
God’s Feet
Blessing my heart.

597

My heart’s faith
Chased my mind’s doubt,
Finally caught it
And disarmed it completely.

598

An unaspiring mind
Is a perfect stranger
To hope and promise.

599

In life’s tug-of-war,
Paradise is nowhere
To be found.

600

May my aspiration-heart
Every day, without fail,
Rise like the morning sun.

601

My gratitude-heart
And my surrender-life
Are two God-microphones.

602

If you would like to be
God’s first-class server,
Then be simplicity incarnate,
Sincerity incarnate
And purity incarnate.

603

My Lord, what shall I do
When the whole world
Speaks ill of me?
Shall I laugh or shed tears?
“My child, just remain silent!”

604

God finds gold
Inside our smiles.
He finds diamonds
Inside our tears.

605

In the world
Of dissatisfaction-frustration
My mind roams and roams.

606

I do not have to prove anything
To God,
But I have to prove each and every thing
To myself.

607

Each seeker has
Two far-away dreams:
His God-realisation-dream
And his God-manifestation-dream.

608

My aspiration-heart
Is the only reality
That I call my own.

609

May my aspiration, dedication
And surrender
Speed up to thwart ignorance.

610

There is no such thing
As a maximum
Aspiration-speed limit.

611

Every day our complaint-volume
For God
Is becoming larger and larger.

612

Finally I have forced
My desire-dragon
To leave me
And live inside the darkness-abyss.

613

O my seeker-friend,
You must realise
That God never wants you
To lament the past.
He wants you to go forward
Faster than the fastest.

614

I love
My God-ordained burdens
And not my self-styled burdens.

615

Regularly, devotedly and faithfully
You must weed out
All impurity-thoughts
From your mind.

616

May my everyday life
Be a roaring waterfall
Of creativity.

617

There is a constant interaction
Between my mind’s doubts
And my life’s worries.

618

If you want to be happy,
Really happy,
Then you must needs keep
Simplicity, sincerity and purity
In your life-environment.

619

A strong desire
Has not only a voracious
But also a ferocious
World-devouring hunger.

620

A desire-mind
Is terribly afraid
Of sunshine-transformation.

621

The mind’s reasoning power
Has considerably weakened
The aspiration-world.

622

The insecurity of the heart
Is born
Out of the jealousy of the mind.

623

Life’s uncertain directions
Are meant only for those
Who have not entered
Into the spiritual life.

624

The aspiration-heart must take
Longer than the longest
And faster than the fastest steps.

625

Every day your Master
Blessingfully supplies you
With a gold compassion-coin.
Use it with wisdom-light!

626

If you have sincerity in your obedience,
Then you will, without fail,
Not only follow
But also understand God’s Will.

627

Alas, I am expert at seeing
The things wrong in others
That have been looming large
Inside my own life.

628

To the extreme sorrow
Of my aspiration-heart,
The gratitude-world
Still remains unexplored.

629

I am helplessly and hopelessly
Devastated
By my mind’s disobedience-insolence.

630

A life of unconditional surrender
Is God’s only prescription
For humanity’s imperfection-life.

631

Alas, there are very few students
Who are eager to study
At God’s Heart-School.

632

A superiority-sneer
Will never be able
To endear itself to God’s Heart.

633

God has a habit of repeating Himself
So that nobody remains
With His Philosophy unlearned.

634

My Lord, I have nothing else
Save and except
My heart-rending cries,
Which I place devotedly
And self-givingly at Your Feet.

635

Alas, how desperately
My God-doubting mind
Is trying to obliterate
My heart’s fountain-love for God!

636

Never allow your mind’s
Darkness-pride
To eclipse your oneness-heart-sky.

637

To find
An equanimity-mind
Is almost an impossibility.

638

A seeker’s unconditional
Gratitude-heart to God
Definitely has a place
In the galaxy of stars.

639

I want to worship the God
Who is singing, playing and dancing
Right in front of me,
And not an aloof God.

640

It is I who am responsible
In every way
For my doomed failure-life.

641

The fragrance of my soul
Comes from its constant
And unreserved
God-satisfaction.

642

My louder than the loudest laughter
Is, indeed,
One of my life-preservers.

643

May my life be blessed
Every day
With new God-gratitude-heart-petals.

644

God has blessingfully sent
His Protection-Wings
To carry me to His highest Heaven.
But alas,
Where is my readiness,
Where is my willingness,
Where is my eagerness,
Where?

645

Before I walk along
The sunlit Path to God,
I must first ring my heart’s
Devotion-bell.

646

My Lord Supreme,
Why do You allow me
To forget You so often?
“My child, I fearfully obey
Your mind’s express order.”

647

Alas,
I am forced to live
Between my impatience-torture-mind
And my patience-rapture-heart.

648

He has cast aside
His doubting mind.
Lo, the beauty of his soul
Is dancing on his face
Once again.

649

Not a forced surrender
But a prayerful and cheerful surrender
Is the winner
Of the divine race.

650

God blesses
The gratitude-heart-sky
Of each seeker
With His own Victory-Flag.

651

God-centredness
Is the source
Of universal oneness.

652

The heights of Heaven
Remain far beyond the reach
Of human expectation.

653

Do not delay, my seeker-friend!
Immediately start steering
Your God-Destination-boat.

654

My soul’s adamantine will
Helps me all the time
To break through the stormy obstacles
Created by my mind.

655

If falsehood
You keep out of your mind,
Peace will hasten towards you.

656

Do not catch depression!
It will before long
Turn into something fatal.

657

To unleash the divine power
Within you,
Make your inner faith
Complete and perfect.

658

He who is reluctant
To break stones
Will never be able to become
A path-maker.

659

The mind always tries
To heap doubt-clouds
Upon the aspiring heart.

660

Do not allow yourself
To be tempted
To visit your past life.
You may be voraciously devoured
By the tiger of your past!

661

Smile, always smile!
You will be able to disarm
Even your worst foe.

662

Be careful!
Do not allow
Your vital-depression-flames
To spread
Into your God-searching mind.

663

The seeker in me
Is now enjoying
My mind’s volcano-doubt-explosion.

664

Every God-experience
Has the capacity
To move and shake the whole world.

665

Obey implicitly and devotedly
The dictates
Of your all-illumining soul.

666

At God’s choice Hour,
Everybody’s God-love awakens.
Nobody can be either too soon
Or too late!

667

Every day
My mind starts praying
And my heart starts meditating
When dawn starts showing
Its beautiful and cheerful
Rainbow-colours.

668

Your unbending and unwilling mind
Is taking you
Farther than the farthest
From your own inner divinity.

669

Never surrender
To your unready mind
If you want to succeed
In your spiritual life.

670

God’s Heart
Is always expecting
Your safe and cheerful return.

671

The cosmic gods
Love to live
On the fragrance of Mother Earth.

672

My Lord Supreme,
I am so grateful to You
For blessing me and my life
Every day
With a new dream.

673

My Lord, do bless me
With ever-quickening steps
Towards my supreme Destination.

674

God always wants me
To take shelter
Under the canopy
Of His unconditional Love.

675

Do not suffocate your life
With your mind’s insincerity
And your heart’s insecurity.

676

Arrogance, insolence
And intolerance
Are three intimate roommates.

677

Artificial sincerity
Cannot avoid
Imminent disaster.

678

Because outer prosperity
You have amassed,
Your inner prosperity
Has disappeared.

679

Is there any place on earth
Not swarming
With insincere seekers?

680

No matter how insincere
And impure we are,
God still remains His Forgiveness-Heart.

681

Remorse is not the answer!
Determination
To do the right thing
Is the answer of answers.

682

Not an aspiring
But an unaspiring human being
Has to depend totally on his fate.

683

The purity in our mind
Passes away
As swiftly as a shooting star.

684

Human life
Is nothing short of
An insane chase
After earthly pleasures.

685

Disobedience means
Being deliberately deaf
To God’s Nectar-Message.

686

My prayers and my meditations
Are the shields
That protect me
From ignorance-attacks.

687

Each God-loving thought
Is an antidote
For our mind-miseries.

688

The rising sun
Tells me where to go.
The setting sun
Tells me where to stay.

689

A truly aspiring heart
Does not want to be
A citizen of frustration-country.

690

My mind,
What a fool you are!
You do not care to answer
Our Lord’s
Blessingful and powerful Knock.

691

My heart’s tears and smiles
Have, indeed,
God-pleasing capacities.

692

Only a oneness-heart
Can swim in the fulness
Of the universal sea.

693

The soul of the morning
Every day sings
A new song
For Mother Earth.

694

Every day
I cheerfully and proudly
Participate in two races:
Aspiration-race
And dedication-race.

695

We must obliterate
All the fingerprints
Of doubt
From our mind!

696

Meditation is
Our heart’s secret
And sacred treasure.

697

O seeker-friend,
I clearly see
How sincerely you are trying
To free yourself
From your mind’s notorious
Doubt-obstinacy.

698

To the heart’s determination-rock
The body, the vital and the mind
Have to flock.

699

My Lord unreservedly sympathises
With the sadness
That devastates my heart.

700

My prayerfully smiling gladness
Gladdens
My Heavenly soul.

701

Humanity’s
Pilgrim-sunrise-days
Will never be over.

702

Surrender is a prayerful, cheerful, Sleepless and breathless
God-commitment.

703

Disobedience is not
A mere incident,
But a serious accident.

704

No spiritual Master
Wants his life
To be thronged
By curiosity-mongers.

705

The lives of so many human beings
Are governed
By superficial happiness.

706

Pride says to God,
“I do not need You.
That is an understatement!”

707

Insolent disobedience
Is followed by
Endless disaster.

708

Impurity of the mind
Is an inner cancer
In a seeker’s life.

709

Seekers are expected to be
Divine swimmers
And swim against the stream
Of past bad habits.

710

I have come to learn
That all short cuts to God-realisation
Are not only fruitless but also futile.

711

Is there any human being
Who does not surf
On God’s
Concern-Compassion-Forgiveness-Waves?

712

If you do not carefully listen
To God’s Lectures,
Your life will not be adorned
With the beauty of self-transcendence.

713

Only for God-disobedient human beings
Does God use His
Thunder-Command-Roar.

714

Those who are clad
In the armour of divine love
Will be able to expedite
Humanity’s outer success
And inner progress.

715

Each divine thought
Is a most beautiful
Angel.

716

The Master’s footprints
Show the brightest way
To Heaven.

717

Try to live
In the eternal springs
Of enthusiasm and eagerness.

718

No matter where I live —
Inside my body, inside my vital,
Inside my mind
Or even inside my heart —
I meet with uncomely thought-intruders.

719

My aspiration-heart
Is the sworn enemy
Of my desire-life.

720

I desire only
A God-blessed life,
And nothing else.

721

Spirituality enjoys
Accepting the challenge
Of temptation-forces.

722

We are always in the prison
Of our self-styled ideas
And ideals.

723

O my mind,
Do not sleep and snore anymore
Beneath the blankets
Of illusion and delusion.

724

God tells us
We have to make the choice:
Whether we want to wear
An aspiration-garland
Or a desire-python
That will strangle us.

725

Depression
In the unaspiring vital
Will never die.

726

His mind’s goalless boat
Is wandering in the ocean
Of life’s ignorance-night.

727

The desire-world
Is nothing short of
A suffocating prison-life.

728

To my extreme joy,
My disobedience-mind-tower
Has totally collapsed.

729

Today’s unwillingness
Will be forced to enter
Into the abysmal abyss
Of nothingness.

730

My high-soaring dreams
Are embraced
By God’s own Realities.

731

You have to come and sit
With your heart’s streaming tears
At the Feet of God
To see God’s highest Satisfaction-Smile.

732

God’s Victory-Trumpet
Sounds absolutely the best
Inside my surrender-heart-garden.

733

To my greatest satisfaction,
My life and my heart
Have been captured by Eternity’s Love
And not by Infinity’s Power.

734

The dearer than the dearest choice
Of my aspiration-heart
Is God’s Satisfaction in God’s own Way.

735

Looking at my aspiration-failure-life,
My soul and my Lord Supreme
Are together crying and weeping.

736

A life of purity-breath
Is always
For the divine in us.

737

Tear-flooded
Is man’s outer life.
Rapture-flooded
Is man’s God-surrendered inner life.

738

We must study lovingly,
Devotedly and self-givingly
Our heart’s aspiration-pages.

739

Day and night I am searching
Lovingly, devotedly, prayerfully
And self-givingly
For only one thing: God’s Footprint.

740

You refuse to accept
God-aspiration-opportunity,
Yet you are longing for
The God-realisation-award.

741

You fool!
How do you expect to succeed
In your spiritual life
If you put God at the very bottom
Of your priority list?

742

If you do not want to love God
For God’s sake,
Eventually you are bound to give up
Your spiritual life.

743

Have God-enlightenment first,
Then think of God-establishment
In your life.

744

If God is just a word to you,
Then you will not be able
To come out of your mind-jungle.

745

You have to tame your vital
Every single day.
Otherwise, any day you may suffer
From an emotion-explosion.

746

Consciously and bravely
Cast aside all insecurity-thoughts
And feelings
From your heart.

747

My soul insists and insists
On only one thing:
God’s Way is the only way.

748

Why do you think
That God considers your case
Utterly hopeless and useless?
You are absolutely wrong!

749

To see complete Satisfaction
In God’s Eye,
Your heart must muster lion-courage
To defeat the pride
Of ignorance-night.

750

God wants to be visible,
But He is afraid
His Power-flooded Visibility
Will cause your immediate collapse.

751

God’s Compassion
Can never
Be bribed.

752

God was shocked
When He heard that I had given my mind
His World-Transformation-Message
To deliver to the world.

753

No matter how many times
My roguish mind
Changes its telephone number
After committing serious crimes
Against God,
My God-oneness-heart
Somehow finds it out.

754

Successful negotiation
Begins with the illumination
Of two totally different forces.

755

The small “I”
Has man-thirst.
The big “I”
Has God-hunger.

756

I want my mind
To be filled with God’s Sound,
But God wants to fill my heart
With His Silence.

757

My heart-sky
Is not only wakeful
But God-full.

758

Be the perfect embodiment
Of sincerity.
God will, without fail,
Listen to your heart-cries.

759

I am in the same boat
As my silence-starved
Heart.

760

If you allow disobedience
To get a foot in your mind-door,
Then that is the beginning
Of your destruction-hurricane.

761

Alas, I do not know
Why I am forced
To wander in my thought-wilderness
So helplessly!

762

Every day I pray to God
To turn my mind into a serenity-flower,
My heart into a purity-flower
And my life into a simplicity-flower.

763

Whatever directs
Your one-pointed attention
To the Divine
Is not only perfect
But most perfect.

764

God wants me to cry
On His Shoulder,
But I prefer to cry
At His Feet.

765

My Lord, do give me the capacity
To wipe every tear
From every heart.

766

Countless God-seekers
Are shedding tears every day
For the betterment of the world.

767

God will befriend you
And claim you as His own
If you unleash
A new spirit of humility.

768

Because I have become
A sincere God-lover,
My days of gloom and doom
Are all over.

769

Because my mind talks incessantly,
My inner Guide
Has taken a vow of silence.

770

Do not sell
Your aspiration-heart
For worthless earthly pleasures.

771

God dearly loves
Your constant refusal
To be unhappy.

772

If love prompts
Your God-obedience,
Only then are you
Absolutely perfect.

773

It does not take
More than a modicum of effort
To please our Beloved Lord Supreme.

774

I deeply admire
Your devoted cheerfulness,
O God-seeker,
Although your Goal
Is a billion miles away.

775

If you are not fully prepared,
Then do not embark
On your aspiration-expedition,
For you will not arrive at
Your ultimate Goal.

776

God wants me to hide
My sound-mind
Inside my silence-heart.

777

A wide-open heart
And a sunshine-smile
Are enough to conquer
The heart of humanity.

778

I offer my humility-life
To my Lord Supreme.
He showers me
With His boundless Pride.

779

My Lord, please tell me,
What is left for me
If You leave me alone?

780

My mind’s ego every day
Comes to the fore
To ruthlessly torture
My poor heart.

781

My heart was swimming in tears
When it saw how badly my mind
Was disobeying God.

782

The dreamers of Paradise
Have to be heart-weepers
And heart-smilers.

783

There is so much disparity
Between the mind’s possessiveness
And the heart’s submissiveness!

784

O my mind,
Why do you allow yourself
To be haunted by fear and doubt?

785

O my vital,
Why do you allow yourself
To be assailed by depression
And frustration?

786

O my heart,
Why do you allow yourself
To be ruthlessly strangled
By insincerity and impurity?

787

O my body,
Why do you allow yourself
To be devoured
By lethargy-sleep?

788

Each meditation-breath
Is the flowering
Of our inner divinity.

789

You are badly mistaken
When you say that spirituality
Is empty of practicality.

790

The outer life
Likes to dwell
In the mind of possibility.

791

The inner life
Loves to dwell
In the heart of inevitability.

792

Slowness begets unreadiness.
Unreadiness begets unwillingness.
Unwillingness begets uneagerness.

793

As there is no end
To our sound-prayers,
Even so there is no end
To our silence-meditations.

794

My intense God-love
Is my life’s
Deep God-satisfaction.

795

The mind’s brooding cares
Disappear
When the heart’s tranquillity
Dawns.

796

There was a time
When I lived inside
My mind’s uncertainty-cave,
But now I live
In my heart’s certainty-palace.

797

With imperfection I went
To see God’s Eye;
With perfection I sat
At God’s Feet.

798

God tells me
That He does not need
My perfection-life.
He needs only
My willingness-heart.

799

Devotion is frustration
Only when expectation
Looms large.

800

“Tomorrow I shall become perfect!”
Is the absurd philosophy
Of the idle.

801

There is definitely a dividing line
Between goodness and greatness,
And this line is quite distinctive.

802

You will always miss peace
If you remain inside
Your unaspiring mind-room.

803

Do not indulge
In temptation-game!
It never wants to stop.

804

His mind’s persistent disobedience
Has taken him away
Farther than the farthest
From God’s Compassion-Eye.

805

Purity-exercises give us
Very quick results.
Our inner existence becomes
Extremely powerful.

806

God is bound to disappear
If you surrender
To your depression-frustration-vital.

807

When your aspiration rises,
Do not look at desire’s face
Anymore.

808

You are trying to do an impossible task!
Your cleverness will never be able
To fool your soul.

809

The mind wants to exploit the heart,
But the mind does not know
That the heart is always assisted by God.
Therefore, the heart will brook
No exploitation.

810

Our outer life is conversant
With the complicated mind-schemes.
Our inner life is conversant
With the beauty of heart-dreams.

811

God wanted me to have
An ego-free life.
Alas, what am I doing?
I am enjoying an ego-fat life.

812

When you give an inch
To disobedience,
It immediately demands a long mile.

813

If you want to enjoy God-nearness,
Then develop sweetness
In your entire being.

814

Not self-infatuation but self-expansion
Can and shall lead us
To our God-Destination.

815

When God’s Grace rushes towards you,
God expects from you
A receptivity-heart.

816

It takes enormous courage
To have implicit faith
In God’s outer operations.

817

Life’s turbulence cannot frighten you
If your mind longs for God’s
Immortal Opulence: Peace.

818

If you do not give
Your wholehearted loyalty
To your own soul,
How can you expect to have
A life of real satisfaction?

819

Ignorance eagerly waits
For your surrender
In the sound of your outer life
And in the silence of your inner life.

820

The fear of the mind
Can easily petrify
The vital and the body.

821

Keep your intensity-heart alive
No matter how many times a day
You meet with your Master.

822

May your prayerful and soulful smile
Embody man’s perfection-dream
And God’s Satisfaction-Reality.

823

My surrender has always been
My life’s most powerful
Safety-haven.

824

God-Satisfaction-dreamers
And servers
Know no rest.

825

Your mind’s determination-stride
And your heart’s aspiration-stride
Every day must increase.

826

The mind
Is always fond
Of ever-changing forecasts.

827

Every day at least once
God goes through His Family Album,
Which contains
The Beauty and Fragrance
Of His Universal Dream.

828

God has no intention of threatening you
In any way.
He only wants to enlighten
Your body, vital, mind and heart
In every possible way.

829

Every day
God is eager to see a new record
Set by His chosen seekers
On His Heart-Track.

830

God has
His Compassion-Eye
And His Satisfaction-Heart
For the aspiring world.

831

God has His Forgiveness-Heart
For the unruly, unaspiring
And self-centred world.

832

God tells me that I always know
Right from wrong,
But I do not want to take the trouble
To do the right thing.

833

A self-giving life
Is God’s
Best amplifier.

834

God is
His Employer-Eye.
God is
His Employee-Heart.

835

God the Creator
Is prone to smile.
God the creation
Is prone to cry.

836

The supermarket-mind
Of unaspiring human beings
Every day
Demands extra supplies.

837

God’s great Justice-Light
Is always
Up to date.

838

God’s Protection-Eye
Stays on twenty-four-hour duty
To protect the lives
Of His chosen children.

839

God’s Heart
Knows how to whisper.
Man’s mind
Knows how to whimper.

840

The mind-batteries
Never work properly.
The heart-batteries
Never run low.

841

My desire-fulfilment
Is not
God’s priority.

842

My aspiration-awakening
And aspiration-blossoming
Are God’s top priorities.

843

When I am on God’s Compassion-Wings,
I fly not only the highest
But also the farthest.

844

Pure dreams
Import and export.
Impure dreams
Only explode.

845

Every day my heart
Gives my mind God-lessons
In vain!

846

God is always ready
To secretly cover all my faults,
But my enemies at every moment
Point out each and every fault of mine.

847

Alas, when will my mind smile?
When?
Alas, when will my heart cry?
When?

848

The dust-tornadoes of the mind
Do have the power
To destroy the inner poise of our heart.

849

God the Mother
Teaches me how to look upward
And ceaselessly cry.

850

God the Father
Teaches me how to dive deep within
And sleeplessly smile.

851

I want the wisdom of my heart
To be the source
Of my freedom-loving mind.

852

God asks my heart
To tell Him its mantra.
My heart replies,
“My Lord, my only mantra is,
‘I sleeplessly and breathlessly love
Only You.’”

853

Alas,
How long shall I remain
A totally vision-blind mind?

854

His God-denying mind
Could not foretell
His imminent perdition.

855

His God-loving heart
Could foretell
God’s imminent Satisfaction-Smile.

856

The indolence of the body
And insolence of the vital
Are two destructive hostile forces.

857

Your ignorance-night will be thickened
If you enjoy the presence
Of a God-denial-mind.

858

God tells us
That ultimately
Nobody will fail His final Test.

859

The power-hungry mind
Deliberately rejects
God’s Compassion-Eye-Nest.

860

Do you want to offer delight to God?
Then steal His Light
As much as you want to
At your sweet will.

861

Unimaginable delight awaits him,
For his life has become
A surrender-breath.

862

When we do not pray and meditate Regularly,
God’s heavy Sighs
Devour His living Breath.

863

If you do not nurture your divine life,
Your animal life will, without fail,
Return.

864

When we live in our restless mind,
No matter what God gives us,
We immediately reject it.

865

Not by crying and crying,
But by singing and dancing,
His life came out of his darkness-mind.

866

Alas, he never realised
That his computer-brain
Would steal the beauty and fragrance
Of his happiness-heart.

867

God the Satisfaction came down
Happily and proudly
To greet his gratitude-heart.

868

Before trying to embrace God,
Humanity should try to trace
God’s Footprints.

869

God is at a loss
When He stands in between
The complexity of science
And the simplicity of spirituality.

870

God tells me
That He is giving me
A full-time job:
Aspiration.

871

Worries and anxieties
Are the faithful messengers
Of death.

872

I pray to God every day
For the victory of my heart’s happiness
Over my mind’s unhappiness.

873

To defeat the commotion-mind
Once and for all,
Our heart needs sleepless
And breathless God-devotion.

874

Weak disciples do not believe
In their Master
When he says that he has shortened
The distance.

875

Not the abnegation
But the illumination
Of our desire-life
We need.

876

God wants our mind to be authentic,
Our heart to be sympathetic
And our soul to be prophetic.

877

God’s Greatness frightens us.
God’s Goodness enlightens us.
God’s Fulness feeds us.

878

Two things I dearly love:
My God-obedience-heart
And my God-surrender-life.

879

My heart is always eager
With all its affection
To teach my mind, vital and body.
But, alas, its eagerness-sun
Turns into frustration-night.

880

Does the human mind
Have the opportunity to excel?
Yes, it does!
But unfortunately the mind
Does not apply itself.

881

The secret is out:
The desiring mind
Does not want to room
With the aspiring heart.

882

The undivine mind does not believe
In practising.
It only believes in preaching.

883

The joyful tears of our soul
Nurture and support
Our God-fulfilling oneness-heart.

884

God Himself
Is enjoying the resurrection
Of the long-lost aspiration-cries
Of my heart.

885

The heavy pressure
Of hidden anxieties
Can never be adequately described.

886

God begs me to see sense
And not nonsense
In everything.

887

Rest assured,
God is not going to cheer up your mind
If you carry fear with you
When you visit God’s Palace.

888

For an unaspiring mind,
It is impossible to sacrifice
The pleasure-life
For a supreme cause.

889

Never allow
Your heart to surrender
To the feeling of unworthiness.

890

Try to be pacified
By hope
And fortified by promise.

891

Finally,
Your suspicion-mind
Enters into the abyss
Of nothingness.

892

The old millennium says
To the new millennium:
“My Brother,
Do not commit the same mistakes
That I made!”

893

God wants my heart
To enjoy every day
The bounty of aspiration
And my life,
The bounty of dedication.

894

The aspiration-heart-life
Will sooner or later, without fail,
Thrive.

895

I have nothing to do with
The mind that desires
World-domination.

896

If you maximise,
God will immortalise
The tears of your aspiration-heart.

897

I tell my mind
That it can never overestimate
The capacities of my soul.

898

I beg my mind
Not to underestimate
The capacities of my heart.

899

There can be
No adequate replacement
For God’s Compassion-Eye-Touch.

900

To try to define illumination
Is to feed the hunger
Of frustration.

901

Our mind, our heart
And our earth-existence
Will be glorified
If we feel that our Lord Supreme
Has an iota of faith in us.

902

I clearly see that my aspiration-heart
Is being cradled
By God’s Compassion-flooded Eye.

903

O my mind,
Your stupidity knows no bounds!
Look how far you have gone away
From God’s Heart-Home.

904

My Lord,
Break my life into millions of pieces
Since it is still unwilling
To sit at Your Lotus-Feet.

905

God wants me to give Him
Only one thing
To make Him supremely happy:
My heart-beauty-smile.

906

Every day I surrender
My life’s limited sighs
To God’s unlimited Compassion-Breath.

907

God is not satisfied
In seeing me close to His Heart.
He wants me to be deep inside
His Heart-Home.

908

My life moves at bullock-cart speed.
Time does not wait for me.
My nature’s transformation, alas,
Will remain always a far cry.

909

I shall no more blow
My mind-trumpet.
From now on I shall only blow
My soul-trumpet.

910

God wants my willingness
And not my capacity
To love Him and serve Him.

911

Every day I feel miserable
To see and feel
That my desire-life
Is expanding its boundaries.

912

Alas, what do I see
When I dive within?
I see a sea of sadness
And a mountain of failure.

913

Each time you climb up
To a new aspiration-height,
Your realisation-stars
Come near you and perform
A new God-Victory-dance.

914

My seeker-friend, you are telling me
That you have nothing.
But I clearly see that wherever you go
You radiate Infinity’s blue Light.

915

Not an easy task
To throw insecurity
Completely out of one’s life.
But I have done it!
Yes, I have done it!

916

My confusion-mind
And my dissatisfaction-life
Are intimately fond of each other.

917

Like a postage stamp,
Stick only to God’s Heart
Of infinite Love.

918

A life without ups and downs
May not be
So completely fulfilling.

919

True happiness does not spring
From the mind’s
World-possession-thirst,
But from the heart’s
God-surrender-hunger.

920

Opportunity
Makes the undivine in us a thief
And the divine in us a saint.

921

A big mouth
Is not always accompanied
By a big heart.

922

The heart-torch shines
Most powerfully
Inside the darkness of the mind.

923

The joy of the heart
Belongs to nobody
Until it belongs to everybody.

924

Prayers and meditations
Are citizens
Of God’s Heart-Country.

925

Share a smile of your heart
With humanity.
Lo, you have become
Divinity’s pride!

926

Impurity’s very presence
In anybody’s life
Is a real threat to everybody’s purity
Everywhere.

927

Knowledge we acquire
By working hard.
Wisdom we acquire
By surrendering ourselves
To God’s Will.

928

Your sterling devotion
To God’s Will
Tells you what true love
And what false love are.

929

Ignore your vital-dog,
Which is always barking
Inside your heart-garden.

930

He who smiles sleeplessly
Lives in the Eye of the Supreme,
And he who cries breathlessly
Lives in the Heart of the Supreme.

931

The sound of my mind
Can be quoted and misquoted,
But not the silence of my heart.

932

There is always
Plenty of room
At the highest Heights.

933

To love your heart of love
Is to love its Source:
God.

934

Do not worry
About your future.
Pay all attention
To the Eternal Now.

935

Never too late
To practise your spiritual life
And to please God
In God’s own Way!

936

Indecision forces your mind
To remain inside
A darkness-cave.

937

You must give up
Once and for all
Your mind’s anxiety-indulgence!

938

Your emotion-life
Must totally surrender
To your vision-eye.

939

God is a Sweetness-Whisper
And not a loudness-trumpet
Inside your heart-temple.

940

My Lord’s Sunshine-Heart-Eye
Has been beckoning me
For centuries!

941

There is always
An unseen light
Inside our heart-hope.

942

Our teeming hopes
And glowing promises
Must needs be harmonised.

943

My Lord always lives
Inside the secret and sacred chamber
Of my silence-heart.

944

Unlike us,
God loves to sing two songs:
A heart-oneness-song
And a life-fulness-song.

945

My devotion is the golden bridge
Between my aspiration-heart
And God’s Satisfaction-Smile.

946

We simply have no idea
How often
We dare to throw God forcefully
Out of our hearts.

947

Love is not a business deal
Of the mind.
It is a oneness-skill
Of the heart.

948

Modern science is foolishly making
Attempt after attempt
To replace
God’s Compassion-flooded Heart.

949

If my surrender-heart blossoms,
Then I know my happiness-destination
Will be within my easy reach.

950

My Lord Supreme,
Do bless me with a lifelong
Gratitude-heart-plant.

951

My heart’s
Aspiration-attendance
Is quite satisfactory,
But, alas, not my life’s
Dedication-attendance.

952

You must discard immediately
Your mind’s old, unhealthy
And unaspiring thoughts.

953

I must save
My earth-existence
From constant self-abnegation.

954

My Lord Beloved Supreme
Suffers and suffers
When my mind discourages and belittles
The beauty and fragrance
Of my blossoming heart.

955

The doubting mind
Finally dies
Of its own monotony-life.

956

Do not believe the falsehood-carriers
Who inform the world
That the God-thirst
Can never be fully appeased.

957

A peaceful mind
And a blissful heart
Are Eternity’s twins.

958

My heart and I know for certain
That God’s Compassion-Eye
Is the source of God’s Life.

959

Perseverance
Eventually shall arrive
At the Golden Shore.

960

Two doors —
God’s Compassion-Door
And God’s Forgiveness-Door —
God keeps always open.

961

My God-dependence-wings
Invariably shall take me
To God’s highest Palace.

962

Day after day
God continues to warn us
Not to be at all friendly
With ignorance-night.

963

God wants everybody to be familiar
With the length and breadth
Of His Will.

964

God tells me that
His Philosophy is:
Man’s mind has to unlearn;
Man’s heart has to learn.

965

For years and years
I have been planning and planning
To offer my gratitude-heart
To my Lord Supreme.
Alas, my success
Still remains a far cry.

966

The difference between
My own desire and God’s desire
Is this:
I want to bind God,
And God wants to liberate me.

967

Every day
With a new happiness-heart
I try to reach
My aspiration-mountain-heights.

968

God tells me that
I do not have to make up
For lost time.
It will be perfectly all right
If I run faster
Right from here and now.

969

A stupidity-mind’s
Best friend
Is an absurdity-thought.

970

The mind’s ambition-tower
Is
Always overcrowded.

971

What am I?
I am my heart’s helpless cry
To reach my God-Destination.

972

When I look upward,
I become
My life’s prayer-beauty.
When I look inward,
I become
My heart’s meditation-fragrance.

973

My heart-alarm
Not only awakens me
But also guides me
All the way to my Destination.

974

Sing prayerfully and self-givingly!
God Himself will come down
To establish His Oneness-Friendship
With your life.

975

The torturing mind
Gets malicious pleasure
When it sees the suffering heart.

976

We must ignite our minds
With the beauty of new hopes
And the fragrance of new ideals.

977

My heart’s inner aspiration-tears
Will unmistakably and easily outlast
The wrong actions of my outer life.

978

Each time I dive deep
In my meditation,
My heart starts singing
Peace-melodies.

979

So often my expectation-mind
Gives heart attacks
To my God-surrender-life.

980

O God-seeker, rest assured,
Nobody will erect a monument
To your hostile critics.

981

The curiosity-mind
Never sees
The face of Reality
And never feels
The heart of Divinity.

982

Have a mind of imagination.
Have a heart of aspiration.
Have a life of dedication.
You need nothing more!

983

My Lord, how I wish
You would make my life
A perfect perfection,
Even for a fleeting second!

984

You can have no inspiration
To serve God the creation
If you have no aspiration
To realise God the Creator.

985

I have been developing
An indomitable will
To fulfil
My God-manifestation-promise
Since the moment
I saw the light of day.

986

Human life is nothing but
A series
Of unfulfilled desires.

987

I shall never allow
My aspiration-heart
To be defeated
By my desire-mind.

988

The heart’s oneness-game
I enjoy
And not the mind’s
Competition-division-game.

989

From each small God-devotion-step
There comes into existence
A giant God-surrender-step.

990

To hope against hope
Can eventually become
A positive reality.

991

Our Lord Beloved Supreme
Will unmistakably fulfil
His Peace-Promise here on earth.

992

Spirituality is full of
Astonishing promises
And assurances.

993

Expectation-misery covers
The length and breadth
Of the mind.

994

A sleepless God-gratitude-heart
Will always be blessed
With Divinity’s Peace and Bliss.

995

My mind wants
To import greatness.
My heart wants
To export goodness.

996

Only the invited God-pleasing guests
Are allowed to enter
Into God’s Heart-Room.

997

My God-surrender-light-wings
Fly me happily and proudly
To the Shores of the Beyond.

998

My Lord, do fulfil
My snow-white desire:
May my heart become
The perfect embodiment
Of Your Immortality’s Goodness.

999

Two things are never out of season:
God’s Compassion-Eye
And God’s Forgiveness-Heart.

1000

My Lord,
My Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme,
You have commanded me to write
Seventy-seven thousand service-tree-poems.
I have just completed one thousand.
My heart, my mind, my vital, my body
And I
Are most sincerely tired.
“My child, My own Divinity’s child,
Tiredness is unacceptable.”
