When I think of my Goal
Or imagine my Goal,

“If you are sincerely aspiring, you will never expect anything from God, even in your imagination. Your sincere aspiration will tell you that God loves you infinitely more than you can understand, and that God, out of His infinite Love and Compassion, has already provided you with everything.”

“True freedom is not an isolated or independent thing. True freedom is oneness with the Infinite. It cannot operate in isolation, as a separate thing. God is both universal and individual, both unity and multiplicity. Just because we do not feel oneness with others, we do not have true freedom.”

Divinity’s blessings
And humanity’s gratitude
Always stay with love.

The reward of losing. I lost my anger. Joy, everlasting joy, came into my immediate possession. I lost my desire. The entire world has devotedly become mine. I lost my ignorance. Lo, my sweet Lord is proud of me.

The idle cannot find God.
Therefore, God has to exert
Extra effort
To make the idle dynamic
So that God and they can enjoy
Mutual oneness-pride.

To reach my goal
Than to claim God secretly

As my own, very own.

Is no inconsequential inner crime.

To transcend itself
And not to engage in
A completely complicated analysis.

Pray with fear. God sheds bitter tears. Pray with love. God smiles with the Beauty of the Golden Dawn. Pray with all that you have. God wings towards you to clasp you. Pray with all that you are. God becomes your Liberation.

Not through the power
Of his mouth
But through the light

To claim His Infinity’s Love

I never allow my mind
To enjoy negative thoughts
During the day,
Specially in the morning

Because every day he tries
And actually does
A little more than he thinks he can.

You have to silence your mind
So that the peace-dove
Can nest in it.

Although he came to God,
Because of his Himalayan pride,
He did not accept anything from God.

When you meditate,
Try to disconnect the thought-current.
You will see and feel
A torrent of God-Delight
Descending from Above
Into your aspiration-heart.

God gave me the happiest news that He loves me even if I don’t care to love Him. I gave God the greatest news that I think of Him although ignorance constantly thinks of me.

Everyone loves to blame somebody else.
But who is that somebody else
If not a portion of
The unrealised universal Self?

I do not compete with the world. I compete with my ignorance. I do not compare myself with the world. I compare myself with my soul’s perfection. I do not cooperate with the world’s stupidity. I cooperate with my heart’s purest sincerity.

When we speak ill of the world
Almost on a daily basis,
We undoubtedly give
A most painful headache
To God.

To give you another opportunity,
Another hope.
But the new year will come and go.
So begin your self-transformation-play
Immediately!
