Selected Flower Flames 141-160
by: Sri Chinmoy
141
Do You Love Me, My Lord?
Do You love me, my Lord,
No matter what I say
And no matter what I do against You?
“Tell Me first, My son,
Do you need Me
No matter how strict I am with you?”
142
When I Use What I Have
When I use what I have:
A commitment-lamp,
God gives me what He has:
His Contentment-Sun.
143
My Heart Longs to Work For God
The difference
Between my mind and my heart
Is this:
My mind wants to play with God.
My heart longs to work for God.
144.
The Supreme Moment
This is my day;
I love it.
This is my morning God-Hour;
I need it.
This is my supreme moment;
I am it.
145.
Two Persons Love Me
Two persons love me:
Satan and God.
Satan loves me
So that he can use me
As his faithful slave.
God loves me
So that He can have me
As His cheerful friend.
146.
His Ancient Heart Tells him
His ancient heart tells him
That God is beautiful plus powerful.
His modern mind tells him
That God is either unmindful or doubtful.
147.
To Be Closer To God
To be closer to God,
Be a better cry
And
Have a better smile.
148.
No Partition
There is neither a visible
Nor an invisible partition
Between self-giving
And God-becoming.
149.
Go And See God Personally
Be not afraid!
Take the first step.
Go and see God personally.
His omnipotence will prove to you
That it is also His universal Love.
150.
He Is Eternally Perfect
You love God
Because He is supreme.
God loves you
Because you are His powerful Dream.
You need God
Because He is eternally perfect.
God needs you
Because you are His choice Project
151
Before I Call
Before I call,
God’s Compassion-Eye answers.
Before I start,
God’s Compassion-Heart
Finishes the race for me.
152
I Do Have The Capacity
True, I do not have the capacity
To touch God’s Compassion-Feet,
But I do have the capacity
To feel God’s Forgiveness-Heart.
153.
A Self-Worshipper
Do not say anything
To a self-worshipper,
For God knows how and why
He is stabbing his own heart.
154
Do Not Die Unsung
O my heart,
Do not die unsung.
O my mind,
Do not die unsettled.
O my vital,
Do not die unchallenged.
O my body,
Do not die untransformed.
155.
When He Realised God
When he realised God for himself,
God said to him,
“My son, I may use you
In the distant future.”
When he realised God for others,
God said to him,
“My son, I shall use you
In the near future.”
When he realised God for God,
God said to him,
“My son, I am using you
And I shall use you
Sleeplessly and eternally.”
156
A Soulful Smile
A soulful smile
Can kindle the universe.
A breathless cry
Can feed the universe.
157
Do Not Ask For Too Little
Do not ask for too little.
When you do that,
God’s Heart of Magnanimity
Is tearfully embarrassed.
158
A Very Simple Question
God has asked a very simple question:
Do you want to be like Him?
He is eagerly waiting
For your open-hearted answer.
159
His Weight Is As Light
My Lord Supreme,
Out of His Infinite Bounty,
Tells me that His Weight is at once
As light as my heart’s aspiration-cry
And as heavy as my life’s ingratitude-frown.
160
You Want To See God’s Face
You want to see God’s Face
To satisfy yourself.
God wants to embrace your heart
To satisfy Himself.
