Today - Meditations for every day

Today
My searching mind
Shall think of God
Only, only, only.


Today
I must dive deep within
And know what I came
To this earth-stage for.


Today
I shall smile at everybody
With my self-giving heart.


Today
I am giving my mind
A new name:
Sincerity.


Today
My soul is carrying me
To the happiness-goal beyond.


Today
A completely new beginning
Is beckoning me.


Today
I am determined to free myself
From the turbulent ocean
Of my thought-mind.


Today
My Lord Supreme
Is most compassionately telling me
That He can be of more use
To my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life
If I can give Him
A little more of my receptivity.


Today
I shall enjoy watching
My mind's ego-life-tower
Crumbling.


Today
Not even for a fleeting moment
Shall I speak ill
Of anybody.


Today
I shall completely stop
Feasting on my daydreams and fantasies
While I pray and meditate.


Today
My crying heart has finally found
What it was desperately looking for:
God's Compassion-Smile.


Today
I clearly see
That all my mind-achievement-possessions
Are absolutley worthless.


Today
No matter how much I suffer
At the hands of humanity,
I shall not stop loving God.


Today
I am going to liberate my mind
From desire-shackles
And help my mind enter into
The ever-deepening silence.


Today
I have realised
That the revelation
Of my silence-heart-life
Has to be at once spontaneous
And constant.


Today
I clearly see
That if I want to make
The fastest progress in my life,
Then nothing is trivial
And nothing is unimportant.


Today
I shall pray to God
To bless my heart
With a constant peace-hunger-cry.


Today
God alone, and nobody else,
Will give me
His most precious Possession:
Peace.


Today
I feel strongly
That my heart's peace-blossoms
Will endear themselves
To my entire being.


Today
No, not even for a fleeting second
Shall I accept
The supremacy of my mind.


Today
Appears before me
With its smiling hopes,
Dancing dreams
And blossoming realities.


Today
I shall, without fail,
Manifest my long-cherished
Peace-dream-beauty-fragrance
On earth.


Today
I am determined to liberate myself
From my bondage-mind-contradictions.


Today
God-Infinity's Peace
Has come to examine
The self-givingness of my heart.
I am so happy, for I know that my heart
Shall definitely succeed.


Today
To my extreme joy,
Divinity's peace from the inner world
Has made its unprecedented appearance
In my mind.


Today
My heart is no longer
A peace-dreamer.
It has become a peace-revealer
And peace-distributor
For the citizens of the world.


Today
I can clearly see
That I am completely mistaken
In my opinion that the real peace
Abides at an unreachable place.
Peace abides right here,
Inside my heart's climbing cries.


Today
My Lord Supreme has given my mind
The most precious piece of advice:
Never to overestimate its capacities.


Today
My soul's divine beauty
The world will see
In my life's human smile.


Today
The truth-seeker in me
Is telling me that I shall live
In a world-oneness-family,
Not die in loneliness.


Today
I am enjoying
My soul's sleepless smiles
And my heart's sleepless tears
Of gratitude-flow.


Today
Ancient earth's purity-heart
Is beating within my aspiration-life.


Today
I shall powerfully
Dominate my mind
And request my heart
To untiringly motivate my life.


Today
God has commanded me
Not to contradict my heart-whispers
At any time.


Today
My self-giving breath
Has become my soul's
Inexhaustible power.


Today
My heart is destined to bloom
Although yesterday
It appeared fated to doom.


Today
My life will explore
Truth in all directions.


Today
God is showing me two things.
He is showing me
How I can feel the heartbeat
Of every human being.
He is also showing me
How He is the Heartbeat
Of every human being.


Today
My mind sincerely regrets
Its inability to see the divine
In each and every human being.


Today
Patience from my heart
Will challenge
Tomorrow's impatience-mind
And conquer it.


Today
I have finally realised
That self-giving purifies the mind,
Intensifies the heart
And simplifies the life.


Today
I shall live far beyond the domain
Of my unfulfilled and failed dreams.


Today
I have discovered
That in each life
There is the beauty of a poem,
And in each heart
There is the fragrance of a flower.
