Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 107

10601

```

The greatest gift I can give

To my Lord Supreme

Is that I shall always be available

At His Heart-Door. ```

10602

```

Each spiritual community

Is either a blessing

For humanity’s heart

Or a disgrace

To humanity’s life.

```

10603

```

The ancient way of meditation

Is to enjoy the fruits

Of renunciation.

The modern way of meditation

Is to multiply the flames

Of aspiration. ```

10604

```

Why are you not perfect

If you are not a slave

Of your strangling vital,

A slave of your suspecting mind

And a slave of your sleeping body?

```

10605

```

Competition for attention

Is as useless

As deception for perfection.

```

10606

```

Only a beautiful

Aspiration-tree

Can produce a powerful

Dedication-fruit. ```

10607

```

How can your heart have satisfaction

Under the grip

Of your mind’s suspicion?

```

10608

```

Without the heart’s

Aspiration-foundation,

How can you have

A dedication-fort? ```

10609

```

Unless and until you have unloaded

Your deception-truck,

How can you be a passenger

On God’s Golden Boat

And reach His Infinity’s

Immortality-Shore? ```

10610

```

The lowest fee

To visit God’s Heart-Garden

Is man’s fleeting

Gratitude-heart-smile. ```

10611

```

God’s Justice-Light quite often

Arrives late.

But His Compassion-Delight

Always and always

Arrives at the right time,

Punctual to the extreme! ```

10612

```

This morning my mind said to God:

“God, if You really love me,

Then liberate me

At this very moment.”

My heart said to God:

“My Lord, since You love me,

Will You not capture me

And keep me forever

In Your Heart-Beauty’s golden Cage?”

```

10613

```

O my clamour-mind,

Do you really love me?

Tell me, “Yes” or “No”.

“For God’s sake,

I do not love you!”

Says the mind to me.

O my glamour-vital,

Do I really need you?

Tell me, “Yes” or “No”.

“I tell you, no, no and no!”

Says the vital to me.

```

10614

```

Yesterday I was tired

Of my illusion-life.

Today I am tired

Of my confusion-life.

But from tomorrow on

I shall never be tired

Of my aspiration-dedication-

Illumination-life. ```

10615

```

An eagerness-heart

Does not want to be late.

An eagerness-life

Does not want to wait. ```

10616

```

How can I ever lose God

If I continue to love Him?

How can the world ever lose me

If it continues to need

My God-manifestation-service?

```

10617

```

My mind, do tell me,

Do you really have to carry

Your daily lethargy-luggage

From your vital to your body? ```

10618

```

If you have a problem,

Then go to the problem-taker:

God

And not to the problem-creating machine:

Man.

```

10619

```

If I have

A gratitude-heart-hunger,

Only then will I enjoy

God’s Forgiveness-Delight-Meal. ```

10620

```

God plays with everybody,

But His Heart plays only

With His purity-children.

```

10621

```

My soulful smile

And God’s invisible Hands

Enjoy their oneness-delight

In supreme secrecy. ```

10622

```

What else is there to learn

From every life-story

Except that

Everything human eventually fails

And

Everything divine ultimately succeeds. ```

10623

```

Three major realisation-requirements:

I must not think of myself.

I must only think of God.

I must speed through ignorance-night. ```

10624

```

A rich joy

Will touch your heart

When your heart is filled

With life-duty’s progress-promise. ```

10625

```

How can I allow my heart

Even to see

My stupid mind’s

Failure-peaks? ```

10626

```

For me, there is only one place

In God’s entire creation

To collect peace,

And that place

Is my own soul’s nest.

```

10627

```

No other manager

Can satisfy the doubting mind

As the impurity-manager does.

```

10628

```

You say that you have

A heart of faith.

If so, where is your soul’s

Confidence-lion?

How is it that I don’t see it?

```

10629

```

My soul-landlord is satisfied

Only when

On a daily basis

I pay my oneness-rent. ```

10630

```

God’s Compassion-competition

Is always won

By the seeker’s gratitude-heart.

```

10631

```

Every day I must hoist

My heart’s confidence-sails

To declare God’s Victory-Manifestation

In and through my dedication-life. ```

10632

```

If you do not terminate

Your doubt-attacks,

You will never be able

To swim in the waves

Of your cheerfulness-heart-sea.

```

10633

```

Do not allow yourself

To be bitten by inferiority.

There is no such thing

As inferiority or superiority.

It is all universal oneness-reality.

```

10634

```

He is indeed a fool

Who underestimates his heart’s

Faith-foundation.

He is a greater fool

Who thinks that God never visits

His mind’s confusion-door

For its illumination.

```

10635

```

When purity enters,

The doubting mind starts to die

And the loving God descends

With His new Compassion-Eye. ```

10636

```

Every day your pilgrim-heart

Has to journey far, very far,

To establish a peace-oneness-world

In the heart of humanity. ```

10637

```

While you are playing with

Your mind’s desire-toys,

How can you have the power

Of God’s Satisfaction-Smile? ```

10638

```

What the world always needs

From you

Is an impressive flower-heart

And not an oppressive power-hand. ```

10639

```

What has blocked

Your progress-road?

You have extinguished

Your life’s dedication-flame. ```

10640

```

If your mind is nestled

In the heart of purity,

Then you will be able

To climb up to

The high receptivity-roof.

```

10641

```

You are not satisfying God

Any more

Because you have lost the taste

For your heart’s obedience-fruit. ```

10642

```

A step taken by me

In the right aspiration-direction

Gives God the delight

Of a true miracle. ```

10643

```

Every day you can be protected

From the hostile forces.

Just remember to use

Your brave obedience-shield. ```

10644

```

The doubtful mind

And the fearful vital

Are always on the danger list.

```

10645

```

A God-loving heart

And a self-giving life

Are always absolutely foolproof.

```

10646

```

I made a serious mistake

By ignoring the stillness

Of my silence-soul.

```

10647

```

The clear, small voice of faith

Will never fail to discover

And will never lose

The beauty of the unknowable. ```

10648

```

You can wait

For the moment of revelation.

But do not wait

For the moment of self-dedication. ```

10649

```

Every day

Collect the harvest of love

By keeping your Absolute Lord

Foremost within you

As an absolute priority.

```

10650

```

A great demonstration of strength

Cannot cover more than a few steps.

But the good revelation of oneness

Covers the length and breadth

Of the world.

```

10651

```

Where do I live?

I live in God’s

Expanding Forgiveness-Garden.

Where does God live?

He lives in my

Thickening mind-forest.

```

10652

```

Because you are a fool

You shake hands with

Expectation-frustration-destruction-enemies.

```

10653

```

When I show God my catalogue

Of Himalayan blunders,

He asks me to sit inside

The perfection-train

Of progress-delight.

```

10654

```

Everything has left me

Save and except

The lengthening shadows

Of expectation-futility. ```

10655

```

If you are lost

In temptation-trance,

Then you will be forced to swallow

The bitter pills of helpless defeats. ```

10656

```

Are you not sorry

That this morning

You purposely did not look

At God’s all-transforming

Compassion-Eye?

```

10657

```

He who hesitates,

Stops.

He who stops,

Fails.

He who fails,

Cries and sighs.

He who cries and sighs

Will be given another chance

By God Himself

At God’s choice Hour. ```

10658

```

You think you saw God

Just yesterday.

No, you are totally mistaken!

It was centuries earlier

Than you think.

```

10659

```

I do not want my mind

To be ruthlessly caught

In the revolving door

Of monkey-thoughts. ```

10660

```

When you are

Your heart-sincerity,

God will give you

His Fulness-Divinity. ```

10661

```

Your ruthless greed-giant mind

Will one day be forced

By God’s adamantine Will

To join the ignorance-death march. ```

10662

```

The empty hands of failure

Remain always unknown

To the quick-flying

Aspiration-heart-bird. ```

10663

```

Alas, why did I allow

My heart’s purity-life

To be buried

In the ugly and impure

Mind-mud?

```

10664

```

An aspiration-heart

May unconsciously attract

A God-lover.

A desire-mind

Can and does repel

A God-lover. ```

10665

```

God gave you

What you unconsciously wanted:

Temptation-frustration.

The same God is giving you

What you consciously need:

Perfection-satisfaction. ```

10666

```

Do not go anywhere!

Can you not see

That you are already inside

Your fulness-heart-home? ```

10667

```

He is praying.

What for?

For a quick recovery

From his aspiration-collapse. ```

10668

```

Why is God laughing?

Because He cannot keep His Eyes shut,

Whereas His earth-children

Cannot keep their eyes open. ```

10669

```

Something must be kept sacred:

Your gratitude-heart-conversation

With God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

10670

```

You do not know,

Perhaps you will never know,

That your own heart

Is God’s only fond possession. ```

10671

```

You are feeding your mind

Too much.

Therefore, all your tiny and feeble

Aspiration-flames

Are flickering.

```

10672

```

Somehow the human mind

Every day fails to answer

God’s long-distance

Compassion-Love-Calls. ```

10673

```

Every day God tells

His choice children

Only one thing:

“Do not desert

This perfection-thirsty

And satisfaction-hungry earth!” ```

10674

```

If you want your heart

To reach the Goal,

Do not allow your vital

To speak to anybody,

And do not allow your mind

To teach anybody. ```

10675

```

May my heart become

An inner long-distance

Running-hero

On God’s Perfection-flooded Road

To become the Heart

Of tomorrow’s God. ```

10676

```

Each great thought

Is a slow-moving success-train.

Each drop of goodwill

Is a fast-flying progress-plane. ```

10677

```

My Lord,

Do give me anything else

You want to,

But do not give me

A mind weighted down

With transformation-ignoring thoughts. ```

10678

```

Sooner or later

Almost all, if not all seekers

Are bitten

By the ugly doubt-dog. ```

10679

```

Inside your mind’s

Prevailing worry and anxiety,

You are trying to discover

Your heart’s silence-flooded

Himalayan security.

```

10680

```

Alas, in my mind’s

Shopping mall of confusion

I am trying to remember

My heart’s long-forgotten

Soul-illumination.

```

10681

```

Have you been to God’s Door

Recently?

It seems that of late

He is showing much interest

In spreading world peace

And a oneness-world-heart. ```

10682

```

One day, quite unexpectedly,

He was breathlessly shocked

To see insufficient funds

In his heart’s sincerity-bank. ```

10683

```

You want to find

God and God-Truth?

Then go beyond and beyond,

Far beyond the man-made

Confines of the mind.

```

10684

```

The human mind cleverly

Wants to know the facts.

The divine heart sleeplessly

Wants to discover the truths. ```

10685

```

Since the desire-devil

Is so dear to you,

How can God

Be near to you? ```

10686

```

My mind gave me information

About liberation.

My heart is giving me liberation itself,

The liberation that it has

Soulfully received from God Himself.

```

10687

```

The name-and-fame game

Is always tainted

By temptation’s touch.

This truth is known

By both the possessors

And the observers. ```

10688

```

On oneness-road

Only heart-travellers

Are chosen by God

To walk, march and run. ```

10689

```

If you have

Two willingness-eyes

And one obedience-heart,

Then you need nothing more. ```

10690

```

Her aspiration-heart

Has regained its faith-footing

And is bathing once again

In God’s Compassion-Tears. ```

10691

```

God appreciates and even admires

Your fight with self-doubts

And your victory over them.

```

10692

```

Take the path of God-obedience.

All your resistance-barriers

Will soon disappear.

```

10693

```

When I speak ill of God,

God tells me,

“My son,

I am not going to leave

Either My Heaven or My earth

Until I have changed your mind.” ```

10694

```

My mind’s cries tell me

That everything on earth

Is tragic.

My heart’s smiles tell me

That everything on earth

Is magic. ```

10695

```

Without God’s Compassion-Smiles,

Who can have heart-tears?

Without heart-tears,

Who can ever water

God’s Fondness-Aspiration-Garden?

```

10696

```

Unnoticed and unknown remain

Your heart’s pure

Aspiration-cries

And your soul’s sure

Perfection-smiles.

```

10697

```

God has made

His Transformation-Promise

Unconditional.

Can you not make

Your acceptance-promise

Genuine? ```

10698

```

God wears only the garland

Of your pure heart’s

Sincere gratitude-tears.

```

10699

```

The only way to surprise God

Is to tell Him,

“Beloved Lord,

I love You only

And I need You only,

Not for my sake

But for Your sake only.”

```

10700

```

Where is your heart’s

Rising sun?

Where else, if not in your Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Eye? ```
