The world applauds
Only your manifestation-drops.
But in silence God applauds
Your aspiration-dedication-sea.

Your Beggar-Arms
May 15th, 2010 — Aspiration Plants
As you stretch out your beggar-arms
To receive from the world
Its glittering but fleeting riches,
Even so you can lift your heart upward
To receive from Above
Light and Delight in infinite measure.

He reluctantly obeyed God.
Even so, his obedience saved him.
Darkness-night did not last
And a spiritual dawn he saw.
Lightning Progress
May 12th, 2010 — Aspiration Plants
My Lord Supreme,
How can I make lightning progress
In my spiritual life?
“My child,
Do the right thing
And become the perfect thing
With a nameless life
And an expectation-empty breath.”
Every Day

Receives a blessingful Boon
From my Lord Supreme,
And that boon is
A beauty-flooded dawn of joy.
The Modern World

At every moment
To feel the blessingful Presence
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

A Life of Mistakes
June 29th, 2009 — Ten Thousand
His is a life
Mostly spent in making mistakes.
But his hallowed hunger for God-Love
Will eventually
Not only rectify and justify
But also glorify
All his unavoidable mistakes.
Excerpt from Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 5 by Sri Chinmoy.
