My Lord's Secrets Revealed

I think of God
Because I want Him and need Him
God thinks of me
Because He loves me and cherishes me.

My Lord,
I have decided that from now on
I shall call You by only one name:
Compassion Supreme.

My Lord, it seems to me
That at last I have understood You.
"My child, it seems to Me
That at last I have found you once again,
And this time forever."

My Lord,
I have a friend.
He says that he will never need You.
"No harm, my child.
Since you are his friend,
That means he needs you.
As long as he needs you,
I shall fulfil his present desires
And future aspirations
In and through you."

My Lord, please tell me,
Once and for all, who I am.
"My child, you are My eternal partner
And co-creator.
Am I a creator?
What have I created, my Lord?
"My son, you have created constant necessity
Within and without you.
Now, my Lord,
What have You created?
"I have created fulfilling Divinity
And fulfilled Reality."

My Lord,
Is there any way for a seeker
To become spiritually rich overnight?
"Yes there is a way.
Just tell the seeker
To give up devotedly
What he has
And to wake up immediately
With what he is.

My Lord,
I am consumed with the desire
To be as great as You are.
"My child,
That is very easy.
Just widen your vision,
Deepen your consciousness
And sharpen your life.
Lo, you have equalled Me."

My sweet Lord,
I need Your constant Love.
I am sorry that I do not deserve it.
"My child,
Do not worry.
Just try to preserve My Love.
If you can do that,
It is more than enough."
