My Lord told me a supreme secret:

“My child, I shall never scold you any more.”

I told my Lord a supreme secret:

“My Father-Friend, I shall never

Disappoint You any more.”

Therefore, I smile and smile

After I succeed.

 

God is my inner Coach.

Therefore, I dance and dance

Before I proceed.

I underestimate

God’s Compassion-Beauty,

I overestimate

Man’s ingratitude-reality.

With my promise-power.

God entertains me

With His Compassion-Shower.

I chose not to understand God.

I chose not to understand even man.

But alas,

I chose to understand my clever mind.

Yesterday’s God

Yesterday’s God

Belonged to my confidence.

Today’s God

Belongs to my promise.

Tomorrow’s God

Shall belong to my hope.

By Way Of Joke

God gave me

By way of joke

A little mind.

 

I am giving God

In dead earnest

A big problem:

My useless life.

My sweet Supreme Lord,

You have helped me

By Speaking to me.

Let me help You

By listening to You.

To illumine me.

To see God’s Beauty.

To see my heart’s purity.

God’s Forgiveness finds me

No matter where I am.

God’s Compassion takes me

Where I ought to go.

Because

I need God’s Power.

 

God thinks of me

Because

He needs my love.

I appeared before God

With what I have:

An iota of gratitude.

 

God appeared before me

With what He is:

Infinity’s Satisfaction-Smile.

Because God Loves Me More

Precisely because

God loves me infinitely more

Than I love myself,

God cannot afford to be

As careless with my life

As I am.

 

55.

When I Pray To The False God

When I pray

To the false god,

My praying is not enough.

I have to run towards him.

When I pray

To the real God,

He immediately runs towards me.

Old God, New God

The old God

Taught me how to fight

Against ignorance-night.

 

The new God

Is teaching me how to surrender

To His Vision-Light.

Puzzles

God’s Greatness and Goodness

My weakness and meanness

Puzzle God.

I am not needed

To say the right thing.

I am only required

To be the right thing.

Each heart is the beauty

Of a God-dreamer.

Each life is the delight

Of a God-lover

 

60.

Each Listening Heart

Each listening heart

Is not a bud of infancy.

Each listening heart

Is a flower of God-Ecstasy.
