Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 106

10501

```

Just be conscious,

O my mind!

God is coming to see you.

Just be receptive,

O my heart!

God is coming to bless you.

Just be soulful,

O my life!

God is coming to fulfil you.

```

10502

```

Your life’s illusion-mask

Will soon be buried

In your sordid mind-clay .

```

10503

```

A surrender-life

Can sing the song

Of perfection-smile

And dance the dance

Of satisfaction-life.

```

10504

```

In the seeker’s pure heart-home

There can be no stranger,

No doubt-bewilderment.

```

10505

```

To lift the weight

Of your life,

You must forget

The stupid blindness

Of your mind.

```

10506

```

Man’s night job

Is to sleep and dream.

God’s night Job

Is to transform man’s

Unwillingness-mind

And illumine his

Soulfulness-heart.

```

10507

```

A seeker’s heart

Is his God-identity.

A seeker’s mind

Is his life-creativity.

A seeker’s life

Is God’s Dream-Divinity. ```

10508

```

A liberated soul tells the world

What God’s Forgiveness

Has done for him,

What God’s Compassion

Is doing for him

And what God’s Satisfaction

Will do for him.

```

10509

```

A doubting mind has the capacity

To diminish

The seeker’s dedication-life

And extinguish

The seeker’s aspiration-flames.

```

10510

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do make me

A strict disciplinarian-physician

So that I can easily cure

My self-pity-disease.

```

10511

```

How can I expect happiness

From a lethargy-prone body?

How can I expect peace

From an insecurity-infested heart? ```

10512

```

The day your mind says good-bye

To its doubts,

God will place your mind

On His universal Delight-Throne. ```

10513

```

Man thinks

Manifestation is a task

That can never be completed.

God tells man

That manifestation is His

Birthless and deathless

Light-Revolution.

```

10514

```

O seeker,

No matter how many times

You have failed,

God will grant you always

Another chance,

Provided you care for

A little larger receptivity-heart.

```

10515

```

If you do not serve

When it is your turn to serve,

God will not love you

When it is His time to love. ```

10516

```

Self-discipline

Strengthens the human heart

Powerfully.

Self-discipline

Invokes the divine life

Consciously. ```

10517

```

How can God’s Compassion

Permanently reside inside your heart

When you do not want

Your mind’s indulgence-storm

To subside?

```

10518

```

If you do not prefer

Your heart’s purity

To your mind’s impurity,

Your failure-life will be

Eternity’s friend.

```

10519

```

There are so many things on earth

Which we can satisfactorily finish.

But the full manifestation of God-Light

Remains always unfinished. ```

10520

```

You have learnt perfectly

The art of complaining.

But God is not going to teach you

His Art of perfecting. ```

10521

```

The mind calls it

Frustration.

The heart calls it

Futile expectation.

But God calls it

Needed illumination. ```

10522

```

God gave me

A life of Eternity

For my improvement.

How is it

That I do not want to give myself

Even ten days

For my improvement?

```

10523

```

Because you are good,

You give yourself

Smilingly.

Because you want to be perfect,

You give yourself

Unconditionally. ```

10524

```

If your heart is faithful,

Definitely your life will be fruitful

In the world of aspiration.

```

10525

```

Your mind is shining

Because it has stopped doubting.

Your heart is dancing

Because it has stopped fearing. ```

10526

```

The mind teaches man

Not only how to doubt God

But also how to doubt himself.

The heart teaches man

Not only how to love God

But also how to love God’s creation,

Man.

```

10527

```

Not only one,

But all the heart-races

Are won

By the compassion-seeker-souls. ```

10528

```

Unless your ego-balloon bursts,

Your little heart’s oneness

With God’s giant Heart

Can never be established. ```

10529

```

If you reveal

Your aspiration-secrets

To mankind,

God will reveal

His Satisfaction-Secrets

To you. ```

10530

```

When are you going

To compel your mind

To make its farewell speech?

```

10531

```

Happiness-days

Can be followed

By sorrow nights.

Oneness-sun

Cannot be followed

By division-clouds. ```

10532

```

Your heart’s surrender-cry

Will soon be transformed

Into your life’s courage-smile.

```

10533

```

If you are afraid

Of the past

And if you are afraid

Of the future,

How can God grant you

His Perfection-Satisfaction-Smile? ```

10534

```

Your aspiration-cry

Must not fail you.

Your realisation-smile

Will not fail you.

Your oneness with your Supreme Pilot

Can never fail you. ```

10535

```

If your heart is true,

Who can weaken your heart

And frighten your life?

```

10536

```

A God-doubter’s path

Is unimaginably long

And unpardonably foolish.

```

10537

```

Control your

Destruction-poison-tongue!

God’s Compassion-Feet

Will be within your easy reach. ```

10538

```

If you are not prepared

For your surrender-present,

You will not be allowed

To be near God’s Satisfaction-Tower. ```

10539

```

With your luminosity-mind

You can sit at God’s Feet.

With your generosity-heart

You can live inside God’s Heart. ```

10540

```

May God the Compassion

Be the Owner of my heart.

May God the Justice

Be the Owner of my mind. ```

10541

```

Selflessness is suspected.

Fulness is suspected.

Anything that is new,

Illumining and fulfilling

Is suspected.

Alas, suspicion everywhere

reigns supreme.

```

10542

```

If you do not befriend

Your aspiration-heart,

Your life will be

A frustration-sigh. ```

10543

```

God’s fond Dream is

Man the flower.

Man’s fond dream is

God the Power. ```

10544

```

Your heart must first become

A hope-seed.

Then only will God transform it

Into a reality-tree. ```

10545

```

You must practise

Your patience-lesson

Every day.

Then only will you be able

To swim in a sea of peace

Every day. ```

10546

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is always willing

To teach you.

But is your aspiration-heart

Ready to learn?

```

10547

```

God wants you to try

To transform your life

In a new way:

The way of complete and

Unconditional surrender.

```

10548

```

Do not find new excuses!

They are as shameless

And as useless as ever.

This very moment cry

For God’s Satisfaction-Smile

In your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life.

```

10549

```

Tomorrow does not

Have to remain uncertain

If you dream of God

For God’s sake

And not for yours.

```

10550

```

Your slow progress

Must not dishearten you.

Anything that wants to be divine

And anything that wants to be perfect

Needs slow and steady progress.

```

10551

```

If you live in the mind,

You can at best survive.

But if you live in the heart,

You will definitely thrive. ```

10552

```

God does not tempt you

To be either good or bad.

He just helps you

In your upward attempts. ```

10553

```

You can never be

Any help to yourself.

God alone can be of help to you.

Therefore, soulfully and sleeplessly

Turn towards Him.

```

10554

```

Do not expect

Perfection-comments from man.

In man’s eyes

You are and you will always remain

Imperfect.

```

10555

```

Do not pretend!

Your surrender-life

Is not within your reach.

Do not pretend!

Your gratitude-heart

Is still a far cry. ```

10556

```

Your mind’s

Unwillingness-mountain-height

You have to scale.

Why should anybody else

Do it for you?

```

10557

```

God wants your mind

To build bridges.

Alas, it has built

Insurmountable barriers instead. ```

10558

```

You say you cannot do

Many things at a time.

Then do at least one thing

At a time:

Just follow faithfully

God’s Footsteps to Heaven. ```

10559

```

An aspiration-heart

Transcends the human mind.

A surrender-life

Transcends all earth-victories. ```

10560

```

God wants you to do

Something special for Him.

God wants you to participate

In His Peace March on earth. ```

10561

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is my heart

And I am His

Manifestation-hands. ```

10562

```

Nobody compelled your mind

And nobody can compel your mind

To become dizzy from running

In confusion-temptation-circles. ```

10563

```

The seeker’s gratitude-heart-prayers

Do not just fly.

They fly faster than the fastest

To Heaven’s loftiest height. ```

10564

```

The divine heart is always eager

To become a member

Of God’s Compassion-Society,

But the human mind is always unwilling. ```

10565

```

If you have a gratitude-heart

And a surrender-life,

Then you have nothing left to win

In the march of your life. ```

10566

```

God gave you the capacity

To be good.

Can you not use your tenacity

To make yourself perfect? ```

10567

```

If you are in the mind,

You have to grope.

If you are in the heart,

You have to seek.

If you are in the soul,

You are bound to reach

Your destination.

```

10568

```

Only a faithful, God-hungry heart

Is blessed

By God’s fruitful Satisfaction-Smile.

```

10569

```

No matter what the heart does,

No matter how much the heart achieves,

The mind is always apt to belittle

The heart’s achievement-glories. ```

10570

```

If you cannot keep

Your heart’s door open

To tomorrow’s dawn,

How can you expect God to favour you

With His supreme Blessing-Boons?

```

10571

```

You want to take only a day

To perfect your life.

But God wants to give you

As much time as you need.

Don’t be in a hurry!

God wants your perfection-light

And not your imagination-speed.

```

10572

```

Your mind thinks

It has to be enormous

In order to house God.

Your heart feels and knows

That what it needs

Is a tiny faith-cage

In order to welcome God.

```

10573

```

A heart of sincerity

Prays, meditates and serves.

A mind of cleverness

Loves to take a substantial salary. ```

10574

```

May my life-music

Be in perfect tune

With the God-Blessings

That are fast approaching my heart. ```

10575

```

If your determination-heart

Can push you from behind,

Then God’s Compassion-Eye

Will definitely pull you from ahead. ```

10576

```

The longer we live the spiritual life,

The clearer it becomes to us

That God’s Compassion-Eye

Is leading us

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Is following us. ```

10577

```

When God stops giving us

His Blessings,

We cry.

When God starts withdrawing

His Compassion,

We unmistakably die. ```

10578

```

If you cannot be

A Heaven-dreamer first,

Then you cannot be

An earth-winner finally. ```

10579

```

O my mind,

You can do better

Than to have

And constantly cherish

A reluctance-frown.

```

10580

```

Do not climb up

The mistake-mountain

If you want to visit

God’s Perfection and

Satisfaction-Fountain.

```

10581

```

If you are cherishing

Your mind’s depression openly,

That means you are cherishing

Your heart’s ingratitude secretly

As well.

```

10582

```

Either you must have

Fear of God’s Power

Or you must have

Faith in God’s Love

To succeed

In your life’s outer journey

And proceed

In your life’s inner journey. ```

10583

```

Each earth-bound desire

Shows an unconscious disrespect

For God’s conscious, unconditional,

Universal Self-Offering. ```

10584

```

Your preference

For a purity-heart

Is illumining

Your unlit doubt-mind. ```

10585

```

To have a heart of immense gratitude

Is to envision

A glowing perfection-dawn

In the near future. ```

10586

```

Now that you have stopped reading

Your mind’s doubt-book,

God will invite you to read

His Heart’s Illumination-Book. ```

10587

```

“Stop wanting!”

Give this message to your mind.

“Start longing!”

Give this message to your heart.

“Continue serving!”

Give this message to your life. ```

10588

```

If the mind does not care for

The heart’s prayer-life,

Why should the heart care for

The mind’s desire-hunger? ```

10589

```

Allow not your mind

To be paralysed by doubt.

Allow not your heart

To be attacked by unwillingness.

Allow not your life

To be deceived by fear. ```

10590

```

If your heart has obedience-light,

Then your heart will not allow

Your mind

To cherish oblivion-night. ```

10591

```

What you call

Negligible indulgence,

God calls

Your life’s slow but eventual

Suicide.

```

10592

```

Your eye of endless expectation

Will soon meet with

Your heart of fruitless frustration.

```

10593

```

“I shall not pray to God any more,

For He has not fulfilled my prayers!”

Indeed, this is a most deplorable

And unforgivable decision. ```

10594

```

If your heart is great with gratitude,

The limitless Joy of God’s Heart

Will blessingfully befriend your heart

Without fail. ```

10595

```

Now that your heart

Has started its surrender-journey,

Heaven’s delight-shore

Will not remain a far cry. ```

10596

```

If purity

Stands in front of your heart

And guards your heart,

How can jealousy-thief

Rob your heart?

```

10597

```

It is you and nobody else,

Not even God,

Who have to set the deadline

To end your desire-life. ```

10598

```

There is no such thing

As an impossible promise.

Each God-promise

Will be helped by God Himself

In and through the God-seeker.

```

10599

```

It is you

Who have to always value

The aspiration-flames

Of your heart-cries.

Expect not others

To do it for you. ```

10600

```

The mind’s enthusiasm,

The heart’s aspiration,

The life’s dedication:

These three divine flowers

A God-seeker must place

On his God-worship-shrine

Every day.
