10,000th Poem

 

My Lord Supreme
Compassionately and blessingfully
Tells me
That each moment is His choice Hour
To love, serve and become
The living breath of the Universe.

Here and Now

Prayers by Sri Chinmoy
at the Peace Concert at the Xcel Energy Centre in St. Paul, Minnesota

 

133.

HERE and NOW
I have come to learn
That God’s Compassion
Is my only heart-compass.

 

134.

HERE and NOW
I ask God:
My Lord,
Where can I find You?
“My child,
Inside My Blessing-Eye-Smiles.”

 

135.

HERE and NOW
God asks me:
“My child,
Where can I find you?”
My Lord,
Inside my gratitude-heart-tears.

 

136.

HERE and NOW
God asks me
To come out of my mind’s
Insecurity-cave
And show Him my heart’s
Most powerful
Light-delight sea-waves.

 

137.

HERE and NOW
I have come to learn that
Only at God’s choice Hour
The mind retires for good
And the heart aspires
Throughout Eternity.

 

138.

HERE and NOW
My soul wants me
To put an end to humanity’s
Widespread inner peace-starvation.

 

139.

HERE and NOW
God tells me never to enjoy
Prayer and meditation-holidays
If I want to remain
A choice soldier of His
For His full manifestation
On earth.

 

140.

HERE and NOW
God kindles in me
Limitless aspiration-heart-flames
To clasp His Divinity’s Feet.

 

141.

HERE and NOW
When I give God my possessions:
Devotion-tears,
God gives me His Possessions:
Nectar-Embraces.

 

142.

HERE and NOW
I have thrown my open heart
Into God’s
Compassion-flooded Eye.

 

143.

HERE and NOW
My sleepless God-obedience
Has conquered
All my inner enemies.
To name a few —
Pride, insecurity, fear and doubt.

 

144.

HERE and NOW
God tells me that it is quite easy
To satisfy and please Him.
He advises me to take every day
Just a few aspiration-steps,
Dedication-steps
And devotion-steps
Towards my ultimate Goal:
His universal Fulfilment.

 

145.

HERE and NOW
God tells me:
“Cry not like a beggar
For your own liberation.
Smile and strive,
And strive and smile
Like a hero supreme
For My complete manifestation
Here on earth.”

 

146.

HERE and NOW
I must terminate
My long-standing friendship
With ignorance-night.

 

147.

HERE and NOW
I must become
A fathomless
God-faith-reservoir.

 

148.

HERE and NOW
I must resolve
To take each and every day
As a God-service-day.

 

149.

HERE and NOW
My crying breath
And streaming tears
Must enter into
God’s Heart-Room.

 

150.

HERE and NOW
I must totally break
My ego-horn
Into millions of pieces.

 

151.

HERE and NOW
I must push myself
Most powerfully
To reach a new
God-satisfaction-height.

 

152.

HERE and NOW
I must dauntlessly stop
Impossibility
From blocking my Godward way.

 

153.

HERE and NOW
I must offer
My gratitude-heart-present
To God.

 

154.

HERE and NOW
I must end all my
Desire-tiger-attacks.

 

155.

HERE and NOW
I have come to realise
That only when I end
My pride-exhibit
God will begin
His Pride-Parade.
What for?
Just to bless and crown me.

 

156.

HERE and NOW
I give God what I have:
My weeping heart.
And God gives me what He is:
His Smiling Eye.

 

157.

HERE and NOW
God tells me
That I can turn my head
Away from Him
If I want to.
But He will never allow me
To turn my heart
Away from Him.

 

158.

HERE and NOW
All the desire-worlds
Have ceased
Running after me.

 

159.

HERE and NOW
I have come to learn
That everything of mine
God loves,
But He loves
My devotion-heart-throbs
Infinitely more.

 

160.

HERE and NOW
I must cast aside
The tears
Of my unaspiring days.

 

161.

HERE and NOW
God tells me
That He can never be too busy
For His Heart-bound children.

 

162.

HERE and NOW
God makes my God-realisation-hope
Stronger
And my God-manifestation-promise
Clearer.
