Poetry

Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees

6001
When my heart received
An invitation from God,
My soul danced and danced
With ecstasy.

6002
To create a supreme atmosphere
On earth,
Each human being
Must grow into a soulful prayer
And fruitful meditation.

6003
Every day, every hour, every minute
We must pay utmost attention
To God’s bountiful
Silence-Messages.

6004
Every day
We must make a special effort
To bring to the fore the inner sun,
Which is all-illumining
And all-fulfilling.

6005
Your mind must think
The way your heart wants
Your mind to think,
For your heart is in direct touch
With the all-illumining soul.

6006
My heart whispers.
God’s Compassion-Ear
Leans low.

6007
My mind and I
Like to know
All about God’s
Secret days.

6008
My heart and I
Love to feel only God’s
Sacred moments.

6009
My life and I
Prayerfully treasure
God’s longest Eternity.

6010
The doubting mind
Does not hesitate even to doubt
God’s Compassion-Eye.

6011
Every morning I pray to God
To bless me with
A singing heart-bird.

6012
God’s Compassion-Height
I sleeplessly
Love.

6013
God’s Justice-Light
I unmistakably
Need.

6014
God’s Will-Fulfilment
Is my heart’s
Greatest thrill.

6015
A selfishness-mind
Suffers
A loneliness-life.

6016
My eagerness-heart
Runs along
God’s Fulness-Road.

6017
I know not where
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
Is unavailable.

6018
Our desire-life
Is not interested
In our heart’s
Beauty-fragrance-garden.

6019
God’s choice children
Are those who see God’s Will
As their own, very own.

6020
Alas, my mind is limping
For extra attention
From God.

6021
I am my mind’s
Tallest
Ignorance-tower.

6022
God is God’s
Sleepless
Forgiveness-Shower.

6023
God is God’s
Forgiveness-Heart.
I am my life’s
God-gratitude-breath.

6024
When God is God’s
Sorrow-Eye,
I know that I am doing
Something wrong.

6025
When God is God’s
Smile-Face,
I know that my life
Is God-Satisfaction.

6026
My God-unwillingness-mind,
You have no idea to what extent
You are torturing my heart.

6027
O my unwillingness-mind,
You will never succeed
In hiding.

6028
O my eagerness-empty heart,
You will never succeed
In hiding.

6029
Do not demand.
God is not at your feet,
But He is inside your heart.

6030
My heart’s inspiration-flood
Has destroyed
My lethargy-body’s
Unending life.

6031
Day in and day out,
My Lord is my
Aspiration-dedication-supplier-multiplier.

6032
My love, my devotion
And my surrender
Every morning congregate
At my Lord’s Lotus-Feet.

6033
In my outer life
I love God’s
Forgiveness-Heart.

6034
In my inner life
I love God’s
Compassion-Eye.

6035
My aspiration-heart
Is my
Prayerful choice.

6036
My realisation-life
Is God’s
Bountiful Choice.

6037
My mind,
Do not be lost in your
God-acceptance-hesitation-fog.

6038
Desire-life leads.
But where?
Only to the ever-ready grave.

6039
The mind’s negativity-fort
Astounds
Even God the Compassion.

6040
My Lord tells me
That my heart-tears
Are sweeter than the sweetest.

6041
My heart,
Once more you must make
Your God-satisfaction-efforts.

6042
My aspiring heart
Loves and loves God
With no expectation.

6043
My doubting mind
Never loves God,
But it constantly expects
God’s Love.

6044
May I be a heart
That is sleeplessly
God-yearning.

6045
My God-surrender-heart
Is
A God-Satisfaction-Pride.

6046
An aspiration-heart
Makes the life
Younger.

6047
My mind,
You can easily settle
Your God-surrender-question.

6048
Man is man’s
Peace-rejecting
Face.

6049
God is God’s
Peace-offering
Embrace.

6050
An Avatar will never be understood.
This story will be learned
From generation to generation.

 (Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 7)

12001
My Lord,
I am safe
Only in You.
I am strong
Only for You.
I am glad
Only when I am
With You.

12002
I decorate my heart-road
Always
With God’s Victory-Banner.

12003
When my surrender-beauty
Is pure,
God’s Pride in me
Is sure.

12004
My self-giving
Means
My God-access-delight.

12005
Only the highest aspiration-climbers
Can be blessed
By God’s Sunshine-Smile.

12006
Each soulfulness-heart
Is the promise
Of an ever-blossoming bliss.

12007
May my heart’s God-love-boat
Sail every day
Beautifully, smoothly
And gloriously.

12008
God the Smiler
Is
God’s Satisfaction-lover.

12009
Do not think
Of your own incapacity-tears.
Think only
Of real satisfaction-cheers.

12010
My Master,
How can I please you?
“Just ask your body to move
A little faster
And ask your heart to dive
A little deeper.”

12011
My Lord, do You love me?
“Yes, My child.
I love you most when you are
A sincerity-mind
And
A purity-heart.”

12012
My heart-inspiring prayers
Brighten my life
Immediately.

12013
Faith is the only protection
That we need
From our mind’s doubt-invasion.

12014
We must not ignore —
On the contrary,
We must adore —
Our heart’s
Climbing cries.

12015
My Lord Supreme autographs
Only two books:
My enthusiasm-mind-book
And
My surrender-eagerness-book.

12016
There is no mind-hurricane
That cannot be silenced
By our heart’s
Soul-oneness-power.

12017
The silence of meditation
Is
The expansion of a happiness
And fulness-heart.

12018
Nothing can be as beautiful
As the gratitude-tears
Of a devotion-heart.

12019
God and God’s Smiles
Are always found
Inside my heart-tears.

12020
Difficult, but not impossible,
To dethrone
The proud ego-king-mind.

12021
O my heart’s silence-peace,
My Lord every day invites
You and me
To join Him
In His Satisfaction-Feast.

12022
Frustration looms large
Only in a God-doubting
And
World-suspecting mind.

12023
Go beyond the domain
Of the mind.
You will be able to shine
In the galaxy
Of happiness-stars.

12024
Each inspiring thought
Is bound to be saturated
With God-Blessing-Delight.

12025
My Master’s only hobby
Is
Hide-and-seek.

12026
Every day
We must protect ourselves
From the disobedience-monster.

12027
A self-giving life
Is
A God-manifestation-victory.

12028
Aspire, aspire, aspire
Always to be
A choice instrument of God
And to remain so
Forever and forever.

12029
Silence the mind!
The Bliss of our Lord
Shall claim you
Immediately.

12030
Always be prepared
To fight against
Your stark ignorance-enemies.

12031
The Compassion-Eye
Of God
Watches us.

12032
The Forgiveness-Heart
Of God
Waits for us.

12033
A God-surrender-life
Is more than sufficient
In every way.
It does not need anything
From the rest of the world.

12034
Our prayerful tears
Can bring back our hope
To please God
In His own Way.

12035
God wants my mind
Either to remain silent
Or to live
Farther than the farthest
From my aspiration-heart.

12036
Willingness and eagerness
Are
Frustration-despair-proof.

12037
He who sincerely aspires
Will have no time to find
Even an iota of imperfection
In God’s entire creation.

12038
Transformation and perfection-games:
These are the two games
God enjoys playing all the time
For humanity.

12039
It matters not
How much we know
About God.
It matters only
How much we have given
To God.

12040
When disobedience arrives,
It is always accompanied by
A ruthless tornado.

12041
Today’s complacency-laughter
Is
Tomorrow’s unavoidable ruin.

12042
Love, devotion, surrender —
These are the three paths
That lead to
Infinity’s fulfilment.

12043
Each path has its own length.
Surrender-path
Has the shortest length.

12044
My Lord is
My Lord’s
Compassion-Fountain.

12045
I am
My mind’s
Frustration-chain.

12046
The mind is the voice
That always speaks
To itself.

12047
The heart is the voice
That always speaks
To God,
Seated at God’s Feet.

12048
The beauty of each life
Has to be spread
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the world.

12049
My Lord, please tell me
How much You will miss me
In my absence.
“My child, I am already missing you,
Even in your presence.”
My Lord, I do not understand
What You mean.
“My child, the divinity
That I once saw in you,
Alas, no more is visible.
I really miss your divinity.”

12050
As millions of stars
Sing and dance together
In harmony,
Even so, our body,
Vital, mind and heart
Must sing and dance
In harmony.

(Sri Chinmoy: Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, part 13)

26001
Faith-fortress
Laughs
At doubt-storms.

26002
Hesitation
Means
Progress-smile-starvation.

26003
I must try
To make my life empty
Of disobedience-blunders.

26004
The ultimate winner
Is he who plies his life-boat
Beyond ignorance-sight.

26005
My heart becomes
A sea of ecstasy
When it sees
God the Commander-in-Chief.

26006
I pray to God
To give my mind
A moment of gratitude-flash.

26007
No more
Loud mind-preachings,
No more!

26008
Silence-heart-prayers
More, ever more.

26009
Heaven descends.
My heart soulfully welcomes
Peace-light.

26010
Surrender-heart-ecstasy
And
Life-perfection-excellence
Go together.

26011
The mind knows
Only one thing:
A stubborn unwillingness.

26012
The outer beauty
Dreams.

26013
The inner beauty
Becomes.

26014
Meditation
Is my heart’s
God-Game-participation.

26015
A dynamic
God-service-roar
Knows no equal.

26016
We must know
That our God-quest
Is older than the ages.

26017
I am always available
To my wisdom-soul.

26018
The Goal can disappear
From the mind’s sight
But not
From the heart’s vision.

26019
The doubt-venom-dart
Is a perfect stranger
To my heart.

26020
The silence of the mind
Is quite shallow.

26021
The mind of silence
Is unfathomable.

26022
Man needs
God’s smiling Face.

26023
God needs
Man’s dreaming heart.

26024
The inner eagerness
Is
An upward movement.

26025
Devotion-songs
Thrill the heart.

26026
The sufferings
Of the heart
Can be measured.

26027
The delight
Of the soul
Can never be measured.

26028
To live constantly
In the mind
Is to be out of God’s Favour.

26029
The aspiring heart
Is always drawn
To God’s Eye-Beauty
And Heart-Fragrance.

26030
O my mind,
Do not poison this world
With your wild criticism
And ugly sarcasm.

26031
O my heart,
You are sleeping too long!
God-manifestation-train
Is leaving soon.

26032
My heart-expansion
And
My God-manifestation
Go together.

26033
Suffering
Can easily
Be traced.

26034
The cause of suffering
Is extremely difficult
To trace.

26035
God-duty
Is
The privilege of privileges.

26036
He who misses
God-duty
Is, indeed, a stark fool.

26037
When I look at my mind,
What I see
Is a flameless aspiration.

26038
A oneness-family
Is the world’s
Mightiest family.

26039
Enthusiasm and eagerness
Are two of God’s
Fondness-Doves.

26040
My mind looks for
A newness-world.

26041
My heart looks for
A oneness-world.

26042
When I am in my body,
Lethargy
Is my capacity.

26043
When I am in my vital,
Blindness
Is my capacity.

26044
When I am in my mind,
Doubt
Is my capacity.

26045
When I am in my heart,
Faith
Is my capacity.

26046
I am not immortal,
But my love of God
Is definitely immortal.

26047
My mind-quest
For God
May not be perfect.

26048
My heart-tears
For God
Are undoubtedly perfect.

26049
When a disciple decides
To examine the Master,
The Master becomes
Ecstatic.

26050
When the Master decides
To examine the disciple,
The disciple thinks
It is unrealistic.
