I barter my aspiration-cry
With humanity’s indifference-sky.
Why am I such a fool?
Indeed, this is the lesson supreme
I have learned in my Lord’s
Compassion-Forgiveness-Perfection-
Satisfaction-School.

Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower Flames part 1

I appreciate beauty
But
I need only God.
I admire greatness
But
I need only God.
I adore goodness
But
I need only God.
I love oneness
But
I need only God.

Excerpt from:  I Need Only God by Sri Chinmoy.

Yesterday
I desired to be
God’s Lion-Power.

Today
I desire to be
God’s Deer-Speed.

Tomorrow
I shall desire to be
God’s Lamb-Fondness

Excerpt from: 207 Selected Flower Flames

You call it
A shocking experience.
He calls it
An agonising experience.
I call it
A punishing experience.
God calls it
An illumining experience.

Ten Thousand Flower Flames #2488

Everything in life grows,
Then goes;
But not my God-realisation.
It grows only to glow,
It glows only to grow,
And it never, never goes.

Doubt says to God
“God, why do You love
Your daughter, Faith, so much?”
“I love My daughter
Because she does not argue with Me,
Because she does not question Me,
Because she always believes in Me,
Because she does not ask Me
to make her understand
What I say to her.
She accepts My Will devotedly,
She executes My Will unconditionally.
I tell you, Doubt,
Here on earth, in My vast creation
My daughter has no equal.”

The Dance of Life Part 16

So if you ask, “What is God?” then I will say that God is all Love. And inside this Love, if you see Justice, you have to know what kind of Justice it is. If a child is only a few months old, then his mother will give him milk or some other liquid. She will not give him a big piece of meat or something very solid and heavy because he will not be able to digest it. Even though these solid foods may be more delicious and may give the child more pleasure, the mother cannot feed them to her child because he is too young. As the child grows, gradually the mother can give him these things.

God’s Goodness vs God’s Justice 

You have to feel that you don’t have to set a time for your self-mastery. You should say, “I shall realise God at his choice hour.” Your part is to pray and meditate and lull to fix a date. God has not asked you to set a time for Him to come and visit you. Let the time be taken care of by God Himself. You be responsible only for your prayer and meditation; let God be responsible for the Hour. Each one can take care of his own business. Prayer belongs to you, but the time belongs to the Supreme.

How Can I have more Patience 

The first duty of a God-seeker
Every day
Is to use his smiles
To look at God the creation.

Excerpt from: Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, Part 262

My Lord,
If You do not want to please me
By fulfilling my desires,
Do not.
But please do not show me
Your cruel Indifference-Eye.
