I have been loving God unconsciously
For millennia,
But I shall love God consciously
From this moment on.

Do not think
Of your undivine qualities
All the time.
Indeed, that is the worst
Torment of all.

All the time.
Indeed, that is the worst

Therefore, do not give up hope
Even in the sunset of your life.

You will fail.
Try to love the world.
Lo, the world is changed.
Changed forever.
You will fail.

That never cared to learn
How to judge anybody.

“Life and hope are inseparable. Life is the body, and hope is the intuitive divinity in us, the divinity that wants to transcend the reality which we presently are. Hope is man’s seeking, hope is man’s inner urge, hope is man’s upward flight into the Beyond.”
Sri Chinmoy, Fifty Freedom-Boats to one Golden Shore, part 2, Agni Press, 1974

“Divine surrender is the surrender that we make to our own highest part. Each individual has two realities: the higher reality and the lower reality. The lower reality is still unlit, obscure, impure; whereas the higher reality is all divine, all perfection. So we consciously try to bring our lower reality into the higher one for its illumination. This surrender is not made to somebody else, to a third person. No, this surrender is made to one’s own highest self.”

Eventually peace must
Pervade our outer life

Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.
