WHY I LOVE YOU

I love you
Because
Yours is the heart
Of of an ice-melting flame.

I love you
Because
Your is the life
Of a love-radiating sun.

I love you
Because
Yours is the soul
Of a compassion-flowing moon.


FOUR INDEFINABLE THINGS

Four are the things
I shall never be able to define:
Heaven's endless Dream,
Earth's sleepless aspiration,
God's universal Compassion,
Man's transcendental ingratitude.


THE MASTER

You be the master of your every hour.
God will definitely be the master
Of your every moment on your behalf,
Cheerfully, devotedly
And
Unconditionally.

You be the master of your soulful smile.
God will definitely be the master
Of your heart's excruciating pangs on your behalf,
Smilingly, sleeplessly
And
Unconditionally.


MAN THE SAVIOR SUPREME

Be pure like the golden dawn.
You can and shall easily be
Man the seeker supreme.

Be sure like the dauntless noon.
You can and shall unmistakably be
Man the lover supreme.

Be true like the dutiful earth
And
The dutiful sun.
You can and shall eventually be
Man the savior supreme.


MY SOUL'S FESTIVAL

My heart was at my soul's festival.
My mind's sense of inferiority
Did not allow my mind to appear.
My vital's sense of superiority
Did not allow my vital to appear.
My body's sense of total unworthiness
Did not allow my body to appear.


MY LIFE'S HELPERS

An ant's determination
Can save my life.
A drop's surrender
Can illumine my life.
A grain's aspiration
Can immortalise my life.


THEY WAIT

My heart waits
For the pure choice.
My soul waits
For the sure voice.
My Lord waits
For my unconditional surrender.
My life waits
For my transcendental acceptance.


ONE PLACE TO LIVE

You want to know
Where your confusion is.
I tell you
It has only one place to live:
It is in your mental light.

You want to know
Where your aspiration is.
I tell you
It has only one place to live:
It is in your psychic light.

You want to know
Where your realisation is.
I tell you
It has only one place to live:
It is in your surrender-light.


OUR EARTH-JOURNEY

We start our earth journey
With a never-ending cry.
This cry is our Divinity's soul.
We end our earth-journey
With an ever-glowing smile.
This smile is our Reality's goal.


MY HEART KNOWS

In the morning
My heart knows what compassion is.
In the afternoon
My heart knows what vastness is.
In the evening
My heart knows what God-compassion is.
At night
My heart knows what God-satisfaction is.


WHAT IS YOUR GOD

What is your soul?
Imperishable loveliness.
What is your heart?
Immeasurable kindness.
What is your mind?
Tireless striving.
What is your vital?
Sleepless struggling.
What is your body?
Sure frustration.
What is your God?
Pure Realisation.


EARTH-MOTHER

Earth-Mother, your smile
Is a perpetual dawn.
Earth-Mother, your love
Is a perpetual noon.
Earth-Mother, your blessing
Is a perpetual day.


MY DEPTHS

I like my mind-depth
Because
I have already fathomed it.
I love my heart-depth
Because
It is yet to be fully fathomed by me.
I adore my soul-depth
Because
It defies my capacity
And
Eternally remains unfathomable.


I HAVE MORE TO GIVE

I have more light,
Just wait and see.
I have more light to give,
Just empty your mind and receive.
I have more love,
Just dive within.
I have more love to give,
Just smile and achieve.


THE WITNESS

His outer violence-sound
Has destroyed his inner world.
His Spirit's Silence-height
Has revived and immortalised
His inner world.
And who was the witness?
None but God the Justice, Himself.


A WILLING SERVER

He is a willing server:
Far will he go,
Much will he do
For both God and man.
God will crown him
With His Blessing-heights;
Man will crown him
With his gratitude-depths.


INVENTORS

Silence
Invented my soul-light.
Sound
Invented my body-might.
Truth
Invented my life-flow.
Love
Invented my heart-glow.


MY LIFE

Yesterday
My desire-life
Was the song of nothingness.
Today
My aspiration-life
Is the dance of progress.
Tomorrow
My realisation-life
Shall be the Heart of God.


THE GUIDE

You want to know the way
To the kingdom of falsehood.
Just give a chance to your proud mind.
Your mind will easily prove
To be a matchless guide.

You want to know the way
To the kingdom of truth.
Just wake your soulful heart.
Your heart will immediately prove
To be a faultless, peerless
And deathless guide.


HIS IS THE GOAL

His is the mind
Of perpetual preparation.
His is the heart
Of celestial realisation.
His is the soul
Of constant loving.
His is the goal
Of instant becoming.


WHERE IS HEAVEN?

Where is Heaven?
Not in my ignorant sound-life.
Where is Heaven?
Not in my undying life-tears.
Where is Heaven?
Heaven is in my God-building heart.
Where is Heaven?
Heaven is in my self-offering light
And
God-becoming delight.


THE SOUL OF PARADISE

You have thought
Good thoughts.
Lo, you have become
The body of Paradise.
You have meditated
Silently and soulfully.
Lo, you have become
The soul of Paradise.
You have dedicated
Your life unconditionally.
Lo, you have become
The goal of Paradise.


THE FINAL MEANING

What is doubt
If not the final meaning
Of bondage-life?

What is faith
If not the final meaning
Of freedom-soul?

What is surrender
If not the final meaning
Of oneness-perfection?


THE SLAVE

Yesterday
She was a slave
To vanity.
Today
She is a slave
To insecurity.
Tomorrow
She will be a slave
To uncertainity.


YOUR SLEEPLESS SOUL

Your cloudless face
Gives me great joy.
Your shadowless heart
Gives me greater joy.
Your sleepless soul
Gives me greatest joy.
