377. Compassion is badly needed

O forgiving compassion,
My body needs you badly.

O flowing compassion,
My vital needs you badly.

O illumining compassion,
My mind needs you badly.

O fulfilling compassion,
My heart needs you badly.

Sri Chinmoy, Europe-Blossoms, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974

You do not need eyes
To see God’s Compassion-Eye.

What you need is a loving heart
To sing the glory
Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

11101

God’s Compassion is ready to tell you
How to increase your heart’s
Aspiration-cry.

God’s Compassion is ready to tell you
How to increase your life’s
Dedication-smile.
Just look at God’s Compassion-Eye!

My evening descends,
And I love God
Not for His Eternity,
Not for His Infinity,
Not for His Immortality,
But for His Compassion-Eyes,
For His Compassion-Smiles
And for His Compassion-Tears.

Sri Chinmoy, My evening descends, Agni Press, New York, 1996

God’s Justice and God’s Compassion
Always compete.

Needless to say,
His Compassion always wins the race.

God’s Compassion is there
For the entire world.

Every day He blesses us
With His Compassion.

But again, every day
We cast aside His Compassion
And try to live our lives
In our own ignorant way.

Although we exploit
God’s Compassion every day,
God’s Compassion-Eye
Never leaves us.

150. Yet His compassion loves me

I saw Him,
But
I forgot to ask Him his Name.
Yet His Compassion loves me.

I dined with Him,
But
I forgot to ask Him His Address.
Yet His Compassion loves me.

I sang with Him,
But
I have forgotten the Tune.
Yet His Compassion loves me.

I danced with Him,
But
I have forgotten the cadence.
Yet His Compassion loves me.

I played with Him,
But
I forgot to smile at Him.
Yet His Compassion loves me.

Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 3, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974

Is there any human being
Who has not misused
God’s Compassion-Light?

Is there any human being
Who will not eventually be illumined
By God’s unconditional Compassion-Light?

I pray to my Lord
For a Compassion-Drop.
He says to me:
“My child, are you a beggar?
Take from Me My Compassion-Ocean!”

My Lord Beloved Supreme,
Your Compassion-Eye I love,
Your Thunder-Feet I need.

Your Compassion-Eye teaches me
How to aspire, aspire for the Highest.

Your Thunder-Feet teach me
How to realise, realise the Absolute.

7698. Never Enough

In the inner world
You can never say
You have received enough.

While God’s Love is entering
Into your heart,
It is creating even more hunger
For His Love.

While God’s Compassion is descending
Into you,
It is creating an even larger vessel
To hold His Compassion.

How to walk along
His Compassion-flooded Path.

The firmness
Of a good spiritual Master
Is another name
For his compassion-oneness.

Open your heart’s eye,
The eye that cries and cries
Only for God’s Compassion
And God’s Satisfaction.
