Selections from Service Trees vol.1

My Lord,
You have commanded me
To offer You
Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees.
I shall obey Your absolute Command.

~

Earth’s cry ascends,
But before it touches Heaven’s Eye,
It returns.

~

Heaven’s Smile descends,
But before it feels earth’s heart,
It returns.

~

Today my heart and I    
Are exceedingly happy,  
For we are seeing my mind’s
Ego-balloon  
Losing its altitude very rapidly.

~

It is not at all a difficult task
For the mind to become  
Deliberately anti-divine.

~

An Avatar is he 
Who receives from God Himself
God’s own Dreams  
For God’s full manifestation
Here on earth.

~

You profess yourself  
To be a wise seeker.  
Then how is it that you still live
In your mind-desire-jungle?
