Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 111

11001

```

My Lord,

Do make my life a heart

Of ceaseless, selfless prayer.

My Lord,

Do make my life the victory

Of Your Vision-Manifestation on earth.

```

11002

```

For speedy God-realisation,

The seeker needs the sleepless throbbings

Of a gratitude-heart.

```

11003

```

Every day God visits me

And invites me to ride

His Illumination-Train

To His Perfection-Kingdom. ```

11004

```

If you want to expedite

Your God-appointment-hour,

Then wear the armour

Of world-detachment. ```

11005

```

The mind feasts on

Uncertainty-nothingness.

The heart feasts on

God’s Satisfaction-Manifestation-Delight. ```

11006

```

Silence, you are

My unparalleled friend.

You are

My God-blossoming heart-garden. ```

11007

```

To your Beloved Supreme

Offer a monument

Of your heart’s gratitude.

Lo, transcendence-bliss

Is beckoning you!

```

11008

```

Bid farewell to frustration-clouds.

God will be truly happy.

Declare war on your unwillingness.

God will immediately embrace you. ```

11009

```

Each gratitude-teardrop

Of my heart

Will eventually be transformed

Into my soul-beauty’s

Satisfaction-smile.

```

11010

```

Am I a fool,

That I continually force myself

To carry the mountain-heavy weight

Of expectation? ```

11011

```

In man’s body-family,

His mind and its well-fed doubts

Are his strongest foes.

```

11012

```

What I need every day

To please my Lord Supreme

Is a whisper-sweet prayer-cry.

```

11013

```

How can you see

God’s smiling Face

If your enthusiasm-mind

Is poverty-stricken? ```

11014

```

My obedience-mind,

My surrender-heart,

You two are my dedication-life’s

Quick-spreading fulfilment-joy. ```

11015

```

My heart’s gratitude-cries

Have astonishingly widened

My life’s Heaven-manifesting smiles

On earth. ```

11016

```

Because of my mind’s

Teeming doubts,

My heart is in

Imminent danger. ```

11017

```

Enjoy roaring laughter

If you want to free yourself

From attachment-forest.

```

11018

```

Inspire your mind to learn

Beauty’s oneness-song.

Then it will escape

Its jealousy-insecurity-storms. ```

11019

```

The breath of my meditation-silence

Shall be the lifelong companion

Of my gratitude-heart-smile.

```

11020

```

Because you never say farewell

To your undisciplined mind,

You have become a critical complainer

About your life. ```

11021

```

If you cheerfully accept

All challenges, big and small,

Then God will claim you

As His miracle unparalleled. ```

11022

```

Your success starts

When you become a determination-mind.

Your progress begins

When you become a oneness-heart. ```

11023

```

When I make the quantity-choice,

The human in me is excited.

When I make the quality-choice,

The divine in me is delighted. ```

11024

```

I refuse to see yesterday’s

Ignorance-insect-infested life.

I dauntlessly and sleeplessly refuse!

```

11025

```

What is my final goal?

My final goal is to become

The God-Heart’s quality-tree,

The God-Life’s quantity-leaves. ```

11026

```

When I offer God

My heart-gratitude-breath,

He immediately leads me

To my fastest progress-elevator. ```

11027

```

What is my soulful obedience?

My soulful obedience

Is my Lord’s cherished Fragrance.

```

11028

```

No happiness can be seen,

No happiness can be felt,

Without the heart’s

Peace-smile. ```

11029

```

Each aspiring man

Is a hope-seed and a promise-tree

Of God the Absolute Supreme.

```

11030

```

Alas, I know not how

I can help my mind escape

From its constantly biting

Thought-monkeys. ```

11031

```

My heart of faith

Every day receives

Special love-attention

From the Heart of my Lord Supreme. ```

11032

```

An insecurity-heart

Tries to hide

Even from God’s

Compassion-flooded Smile. ```

11033

```

Your life’s liberation-bell will ring

Only inside your heart’s

Oneness-aspiration-cry.

```

11034

```

Because I love God

Unconditionally,

God has given me His golden Boat.

Because I serve man

Unconditionally,

God has given me His silver Sails.

```

11035

```

An aspiration-heart

Smiles

Even at the frowns

Of a doubting mind. ```

11036

```

With your mind’s impurity-ink

You can write

Only doubt-letters to God.

```

11037

```

Your heart’s fearful breath

Will never be able to see

God’s blessingful Compassion-Smile.

```

11038

```

An impure mind and a fearful heart

Are two deplorable

Oneness-friends.

```

11039

```

One uncomely thought

Can easily shatter

The seeker’s hard-earned mind-poise.

```

11040

```

Divinity’s heart-illumination

Or humanity’s mind-confusion:

O seeker, it is you

Who have to make the choice

Here and now!

```

11041

```

He is his life’s deplorable fate!

The outer world hates

His powerful vital,

And the inner world does not care for

His fearful heart.

```

11042

```

O my mind,

Transcend, transcend

The confines of attachments

And arrive at freedom’s

Illumination-shore.

```

11043

```

False concern-ears

Are available everywhere.

True compassion-hearts

Are almost nowhere to be found. ```

11044

```

Each unaspiring life

Is an uncompromising decision

Made by an ignorance-nourished mind.

```

11045

```

Keep your mind under arrest.

You will be happy.

Keep your vital under arrest.

You will be peaceful. ```

11046

```

My heart’s purity-smile

Has finally illumined

My mind’s doubt-cave.

```

11047

```

Although humanity is tearful,

Humanity does not want to read

God’s blessingful and fruitful Letters.

```

11048

```

My heart invokes God’s Love

Because my heart feels

That God’s Love is its very own.

But my mind wants to preserve

Its supremacy as its own,

Very own. ```

11049

```

If you do not intensify

Your heart’s aspiration-cry,

How can God pacify

Your mind’s frustration-unrest? ```

11050

```

Alas,

When will my mind-train

Stop?

When will my heart-plane

Fly?

```

11051

```

You just sail

Your aspiration-boat.

God will broadcast

Your supreme adventure-glories. ```

11052

```

Each gratitude-smile of mine

Immediately draws in

God’s Perfection-Breath.

```

11053

```

Mind, my mind,

Allow not yourself to become

A waning moon.

Heart, my heart,

Allow not yourself to become

A setting sun.

```

11054

```

Do not allow your aspiration-boat

To sink.

Do not allow your realisation-shore

To recede. ```

11055

```

Alas,

Just because I stepped

On ignorance-thorn,

I cannot see my heart-beauty’s

Wisdom-flooded dawn.

```

11056

```

Wild criticism-arrows

Cannot torture you

If you study regularly

At your heart’s dedication-school. ```

11057

```

Definitely each heart is bound to enjoy

Its aspiration-voyage.

Ultimately each life is bound to enjoy

Its realisation-shore. ```

11058

```

Each time I offer my heart’s

Gratitude-breath to God,

I amazingly shorten the distance

Of my destination-journey. ```

11059

```

Be careful!

At any moment

Your cruel doubt-mind-frost

Can destroy your heart’s

Infant-plant-poise.

```

11060

```

Only your heart-smiles

Can and will

Lift your life’s

Heavy frustration-weights. ```

11061

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Has hired my completely fallen

Seeker-heart. ```

11062

```

God’s Museum welcomes

Only the devoted

Aspiration-heart-visitors.

```

11063

```

Since Divinity has compassionately

Accepted humanity’s life,

My life-train is bound to reach

Its destination: Perfection. ```

11064

```

Confidence-light,

Where are you?

Can you not illumine

My fear-infested forest-life? ```

11065

```

The soul-touch shall conquer the world

To prove that God’s Compassion-Eye

Sleeplessly loves

The heart of the world

And unconditionally cares for

The life of the world. ```

11066

```

Every day

The truth-seeker and God-lover

Must faithfully and soulfully sing

One song:

The song of his surrendered life’s

Progress-light. ```

11067

```

If you do not empty

Your heart-vessel every day,

How can God pour in

More illumining Light

And more fulfilling Peace

To make you a choice instrument

Of His transcendental Vision?

```

11068

```

God’s Compassion-Light

Is never discouraged

No matter how bad I was yesterday,

No matter how useless I am today,

For it knows that I embody

His cosmic Vision’s

Perfection-manifestation-promise.

```

11069

```

I may not know much

About the cosmic gods,

But I do know much

About the Supreme Being,

Who is the only Source-Light

Of the cosmic gods. ```

11070

```

Keep knocking at God’s Heart-Door,

Even though you do not hear any reply.

Your knocking cannot and will not

Remain unheard

Indefinitely.

```

11071

```

Invite your soul to watch

When your mind searches for truth,

When your heart longs for God

And when your life offers gratitude

For God’s Compassion.

```

11072

```

You may forget anything you want to,

But never forget the sunlit path

That leads to your heart-temple.

```

11073

```

If you can love God

And manifest God

All the time in His own Way,

Then God Himself will grant you

His own impenetrable

Peace-Delight-Armour. ```

11074

```

My Lord Supreme,

I may not see the Presence

Of Your entire Being,

But I do see the Beauty

And Divinity

Of Your Compassion-Eye,

Which has surrounded my life.

```

11075

```

When we desire freedom

For ourselves,

We do not realise

That we enter into

A dark and dangerous desire-cave.

```

11076

```

Alas,

Where is my searching mind’s

Lost purity-flower?

Alas,

Where is my aspiring heart’s

Lost divinity-garden?

```

11077

```

The only answer

To my earth-existence-question is:

God and I can appreciate

Our mutual beauty’s heart

And admire our mutual duty’s life.

```

11078

```

To become a perfect instrument of God,

The seeker has to feel

That his aspiration-life

Is the ticking of God’s Eternity-Clock. ```

11079

```

To have a good meditation means

To climb up high

In the sunlit summit-silence-light

And converse with God’s

God-Manifestation-Peace on earth.

```

11080

```

A God-lover

Is he whose aspiration-heart

Has made friends with

The beauty of the dreaming night

And the duty of the singing day.

```

11081

```

Have you decided

To return to your heart-home

Once again

To dine with your

Eternity’s best friend:

Soul? ```

11082

```

When the mind

Sincerely prays and meditates,

It sees it has the capacity

To journey into another part

Of its existence-reality,

A part that is always

Flooded with peace.

```

11083

```

Your future may not be visible,

But your present is visible.

Now pray to God to carry you

To your highest destination

Through the invisible ignorance-night.

```

11084

```

The God of Compassion

Will not be able to use your love

If your love does not have in it

Your heart’s purity-gratitude. ```

11085

```

God is ready to spring a surprise

Every day in my aspiration-life

If I renounce my expectation-mind

Once and for all. ```

11086

```

Only a God-focused mind

Can challenge all doubt-storms

And all jealousy-trains.

```

11087

```

Confidence can flow

From your heart-river

Only when your mind receives

Compassion-Light from Above. ```

11088

```

If yours is a God-forsaken mind,

Then your heart will know the despair

Of truth-broken promises.

```

11089

```

If your life swings

On your heart’s surrender-swing,

Then God will make you

Another God-King. ```

11090

```

Even if you do not believe in God now,

God is determined to prove

To Himself and to you

That one day He will turn you into

Another God.

```

11091

```

How can man’s perfection

Remain a far cry

If it does not reject

The ceaseless flow

From God’s Compassion-Eye?

```

11092

```

Do you think

That God will not care for

Your perfection-life

Just because you do not believe in

His Compassion-Heart?

```

11093

```

If your mind is shopping

Every day in desire-store,

How can you carry

Your life’s perfection-beauty

To God’s Golden Shore?

```

11094

```

If you are too busy

With your excuse-presence,

God will also be too busy

With His Withdrawal-Absence. ```

11095

```

May my purity-heart-room

Invite both

God the Compassion-Eye

And man the dedication-life. ```

11096

```

Who can build his life’s

Dedication-temple

Without his heart’s

Aspiration-foundation? ```

11097

```

O Heaven,

I shall not imitate you.

O earth,

I shall not duplicate you.

I shall only liberate myself

From Heaven-expectations

And earth-procrastinations.

```

11098

```

Forget the computer.

It may help you.

Again, it may confuse you.

Think of the Liberator.

He will only love you

And liberate you. ```

11099

```

Alas, why do I still love my mind,

The phenomenal fault-finder,

And not love only my heart,

The universal God-lover? ```

11100

```

Soul, my soul,

Do teach me how to fly

Into tomorrow’s

Newness-vastness-fulness-sky. ```
