To begrudge the happiness
Of others
Is to delay one’s own happiness
Indefinitely.

That comes and goes,

To give me the capacity to fulfil Him,

But by being.

The capacity.

Outer manifestation
Of our Beloved Lord?

Is all love

Terribly unbalanced.

Go beyond the domain
Of the mind.
You will be able to shine
In the galaxy
Of happiness-stars.
12,081.
Happiness
Is of supreme importance.
When I am really happy,
I have no time
To find fault with others.
12,082.
When we are unhappy,
We speak ill of others
And do things we should not do.
12,089.
Unhappiness
Is always apt to speak ill
Of others
And to try
To destroy others.
12,090.

Has the capacity
To accept the whole world
As its own, very own.

Can be regained
By sincerely loving others.

An appreciation-expectation-beggar
If you really need happiness.
12,248.
Be happy and remain happy.
God wants your life;
God needs your heart.
12,382.
The aspiring heart
Always knows in advance
What will make God
Truly happy.
12,438.

The doubting mind
In His
Happiness-Heart-Circle.

Abides our mind’s
Happiness.

May our heart’s
Morning happiness
Brighten our entire day.

To conquer time.

If you keep yourself busy
Serving God,
God will give you a new name:
Happiness.
12,895.
O seeker, catch the mind’s
Imagination-bird
And feed the heart’s
Aspiration-flame
To make God happy
In His own Way.
12,904.
If there is constant oneness,

Along any road,

A happy end:
God.

To please God
And that is through
Your own happiness.

In his heart-garden
Is indeed God’s choice.

Our madness,

Are sown
By God’s own Hand.
13,760.

The manifestation
Of the Supreme’s Happiness.

You have made
Since you have been
In the spiritual life.

And enjoys
My heart-garden.

My friend,
Do you know
That God has given you
Your two beautiful eyes
To make me and keep me
Heavenly happy?
14,758.
Bring your heart’s inner happiness
Into your mind.
In the twinkling of an eye
You will be inundated
With inspiration.
14,766.
A day will come
When this world of ours
Will be liberated
From misunderstanding,
Limitations and weaknesses.
It will be a happy, illumining
And fulfilling oneness-family.
14,783.
The soul is happier
When the body is stronger.
The soul will be happier
Than the happiest
If inner aspiration is added
To outer strength.
14,829.
Happiness is
The heart’s great contribution
To life.
14,835.
An unhappy mind
Receives nothing
From Above.

Receives something
From Above.
14,837.
A happy heart
Receives everything
From Above.
15,009.

In preparing selflessness

Your inner progress
By observing the happiness
Inside you.
15,522.

Change for the better
And you will be mightily happy.

Means
The heart’s happiness-roar.

O my mind,
Can you not develop
The habit of holiness
To be genuinely happy?
16, 005.
Be happy, be cheerful,
Be self-giving!
Only then God will bless you
With the capacity to climb up
To God’s Heart-Summit.
16,015.
A happiness-flower-heart
Is always found
In a self-offering life.
16,116.

To take away
Our heart’s happiness,
Save and except
Our God-doubting mind.
16,315.
Unhappiness
Is the result
Of my self-created chains.
16,321.
When I live
An unconditional life,
I enjoy the paradise
Of perfect happiness.
16,348.
Do not fall behind my heart,
O my mind,
If you really want to be happy.
16.374.
Unhappiness broods
Because we do not allow
Happiness to blossom.
16,454.
Not the mind but the heart
Is a genuine authority
On happiness, newness
And fullness.
16,572.
Always happily,
Self-givingly and proudly
Reveal yourself to the heart.
16,722.
My happiness
And God’s Satisfaction
Can never be separated.
16.758.
I call it my self-giving.
God calls the same thing
His Happiness-Pride.
16,843.
God is always eager
To bless me with
His Heart’s Fulness-Happiness,
But alas, I am never ready.
16,846.
May each thought
Produced by my mind
Become a blossoming
Rainbow-happiness.
16,848.
My surrender-life
Is the pioneer
Of my Lord’s Happiness-Heart.
17,153.
A happiness-heart
Knows no sign
Of fatigue.
17,260.
If the proud mind
Does not descend
To the heart-humility-life,
Then the mind is bound
To remain unhappy.
17,269.
I am so happy that my soul
Is extremely strict with me
And gives me no opportunity
To choose anything.
17,287.
Fast, very fast,
Jealousy clips the wings
Of our happiness-heart.
17,378.
When your heart is
Constant self-giving,
Happiness is bound to run
Towards you.
17,527.
Two smiles meet–
My soul’s giant smile
And
My heart’s dwarf smile–
Happily and proudly.
17,669.
Let happiness be the king
In our inner life of aspiration
And our outer life of dedication.
17,700.
When I love God and serve God,
Immediately I hear the murmur
Of multiple happy voices
Inside my heart.
17,715.
Be careful!
If you run away
With the freedom of your mind,
Soon you will find your happiness-life
Nowhere.
17,799.
My mind always steals happiness
From my heart.
One day, my mind-thief
Will be caught red-handed.

Happily we must pay
Our life’s dues
To the Mother Earth.
17,926.
Happiness always pervades
A true seeker’s
Godward march.
17,930.
One happy moment
Can erase the bitter frustrations
Of decades.
17,991.
Happiness is the capacity
That we have
To chase away
Our negativity-mind.
17,994.
May each and every heart
Be the murmur
Of happiness-life
And happiness-voice.
18,219.
If you look
Beyond my words,
You will be happy.
18,276.
To make our Lord Supreme happy
In His own Way,
We must destroy all our
Desire-treasures.
18,453.
God wants each and every human being
To learn at least one
Oneness-heart-happiness-song.
18,458.
True,
I had a very hard life,
But it was a happy one.
18,526.
My heart-happiness
Is
My Lord’s Pride-Fulness.
18,657.
Like a child,
Let us take God’s Will
As a toy
And run with it
Happily and proudly.
18,810.
My happiness comes and goes
In waves
Precisely because my God-surrender
Is not complete.
18,898.
Your cheerful meditation
Will make God
The happiest.
18,929.

To be a humble broomstick
For you to use
To clean your heart-temple.

To be happy.

The serenity
Of the mind.
19,241.
Happiness
Is
God-manifestation-strength.
19,339.
O my mind, be careful!
God is not happy
With you.
20,112.
At every moment
We need attitude-adjustment
To make God happy.
20,113.
Happiness is freedom,
And freedom
Is self-giving.
21,051.
If you take even one single step
Beyond the confines of the mind,
Your happiness
Will know no bounds.
21,305.
Do not compare
If you want to be happy.
Do not blame
If you want to be happy.
21,306.
Happiness disappears
The moment we pursue
Name and fame.
21,326.
O my mind,
If you want to be wise,
Then start immediately to unlearn,
For there are many things to unlearn
If you want to have happiness.
21,339.
To be happy
Do not try to understand
The world,
But try to be useful
To the world.
21,360.
Forget the misdeeds of others.
Forgive your own misdeeds.
Lo, happiness is all yours.
21,393.
Happiness is found
Only in the vision-eye
Of courage.

Is happiness-contribution
To the whole world.
21,475.

A simplicity-mind,
A sincerity-heart
And a purity-life.

A life surrendered
To God-Happiness
Is a one-way street.
21,586.
O my mind,
Burn the past.
You will not only be happy
But also perfect.
21,811.
The time to be really happy
Is now,
Here at the very place
Where you are.
21,891.
To please God
And to offer Him happiness
At every moment,
What I need is utmost eagerness
In my aspiration-heart.
21,907.
If you cannot laugh
At your stupidity,
It will be difficult for you
To be really happy.
21,928.
Every day
God asks my heart
To spread
Happiness-divinity.
21,963.
There is only one time
To be happy,
And that time
Is now!
22,021.
Happiness
Is the beginning
Of self-confidence.
22,034.
Happiness and courage
Feed each other.
22,236.
If you want to be truly happy,
Be not fearful
But be joyful
On the strength of your self-giving.
22,286.

Confess your blunders
Before you face any criticism.

Gladdens and charms God
More than anything else.
22,484.
There is a special way
To thank God,
And that way is
To keep myself always happy.
22,615.
To have a glance
From God’s Eye
Is, indeed,
A rare moment of happiness.
22,985.
God-happiness we find
Not when we enter

Infinitely more.”
