Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 112

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!

```

11102

```

Your mind-room has to be kept

As beautiful and pure

As your heart-garden.

Only then will God pilot your life-boat

Cheerfully and proudly.

```

11103

```

If you forget your oneness-key,

You will never be able to enter

God’s secret and sacred Satisfaction-Room.

```

11104

```

When did God ask you

To walk on ignorance-road?

He has always been asking you

To fly with Him

On His Heart-Beauty’s Compassion-Wings.

```

11105

```

If you do not keep yourself

Away from ignorance-hunger,

How can God grant you

His Heart’s Confidence-Smile

To represent Him here on earth?

```

11106

```

Tranquillity is a direct flight

To the consciousness-illumined land.

All other flights

Are bound to stop over

At various mind-airports.

```

11107

```

If your heart cries for perfection-oneness,

Then God will grant you

Not only perfection-oneness

But also His Heart’s

Satisfaction-Fulness.

```

11108

```

If you go to desire-bank,

What can you expect from yourself

Except to use up

All your pleasure-accounts? ```

11109

```

Export doubt

From your mind-land.

Import faith

From God’s Perfection-Land.

Try to do both immediately!

```

11110

```

When my devotion-tears

Drop at my Lord’s Compassion-Feet,

God plays on His

Dream-fulfilled Clarion. ```

11111

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I am my desire-desert.

Can You not be Your Forgiveness-River?

```

11112

```

My Lord Supreme every day

Tells me two things to do:

To steal Compassion

From His Vision-Eye

And to steal Satisfaction

From His Oneness-Heart. ```

11113

```

Every day I try to nourish

My heart’s aspiration-cry

With my soul’s delight-flames.

```

11114

```

Impossibility

And the mind’s phantom-hours

Are for those who live in the mind

And cannot go beyond

The solid confines of the mind.

```

11115

```

Transcendence-perfection

Is the ultimate evolution

Of absolute Truth.

```

11116

```

Every morning

I love to watch the dawn

Of my heart’s hopeful smiles.

```

11117

```

O my purity-heart,

Where can I find your equal?

O my wisdom-soul,

Where can I find your equal?

O my Lord’s Forgiveness-Feet,

Where can I find Your equal? ```

11118

```

If your mind is an abysmal abyss,

Then pray to God to allow your soul

To enter into the abyss

With its silence-light. ```

11119

```

Your Master is he

Who is a perfect slave

To God’s all-fulfilling Will

In your own aspiration-life. ```

11120

```

If you sing with your heart’s

Inevitability-singer,

Then your mind’s impossibility-singer

Will definitely run away. ```

11121

```

If your soul is ready

To fight with ignorance-night,

Then be with your soul

Soulfully and bravely

To the finish!

```

11122

```

One God-man can take care

Not only of you

But of the entire world.

All he needs is

Your heart’s sleepless faith in him.

```

11123

```

Do not be afraid of tasting

The bitterness of failure.

Be brave!

The sweetness of success

Will before long befriend you.

```

11124

```

If you allow your thoughts

To control your mind,

Your heart’s cry will never be able

To reach God’s Compassion-Eye-Height. ```

11125

```

Never make a deal with your mind!

Are you a fool?

Your mind will eventually rob you

Of all the divine qualities

You were born with.

```

11126

```

You want to destroy

Your mind’s thought-factory.

Indeed, this is a wrong desire.

Do not destroy the thought-factory,

But produce God-loving thoughts

In that factory. ```

11127

```

With your boring mind

You displease the divine around you.

With your sleeping body

You displease the divine within you. ```

11128

```

Farewell, O earth!

I do not need your wild criticism

Any more.

Farewell, O Heaven!

I do not need your heartless indifference

Any more.

```

11129

```

You are your small life’s

Tiny dedication.

How can you expect God to grant you

His vast Satisfaction-Smile? ```

11130

```

Every morning God comes

To visit your heart,

But your ignorance-heart

Enjoys living in a coma. ```

11131

```

If you have no aspiration-cry,

How can your Master

Receive God’s Satisfaction-Smile

For you? ```

11132

```

At long last

My heart has found its purity,

Which was stolen away

By my mind’s impurity-thief. ```

11133

```

The human mind

Does not want to stand

At God-journey’s starting line.

It only likes to stand

At man-journey’s starting line.

```

11134

```

If you meditate on yourself —

On your doubting mind

And on your trembling heart —

When and how can God grant you

His own Soul’s adamantine Will?

```

11135

```

Heaven did not help me

When I came down into the world.

Now earth is not helping me either,

Although sleeplessly I am trying

To fly into Heaven.

```

11136

```

What are the privileges

Of God-Friendship?

You can enjoy God’s

Unconditional blessingful Love

All the time.

```

11137

```

“God for God’s sake”

From now on

Shall open up the new frontier

Of my improvement-promise. ```

11138

```

Each human being has to study

Either for a short time

Or for a long time

On ignorance-campus. ```

11139

```

If you want to please God,

Then the easiest way

Is to keep your purity-heart

At His disposal. ```

11140

```

God does not want

The habitual sullenness

Of your useless vital.

He wants the rare soulfulness

Of your truth-manifesting vital.

```

11141

```

The foul tongue of human criticism

Cannot hurt you

If you fly with the love-wings

Of your soul-bird. ```

11142

```

No doubt-bullet can kill you

If you wear the faith-shield

Of your heart’s aspiration-flames.

```

11143

```

If you are wanting in inner courage

In your aspiration-life,

Then yours will be the progress

Of the slowest tortoise. ```

11144

```

Each human being is blessed

With a few Heavenly virtues,

But the chief of all virtues

Is self-giving. ```

11145

```

Time will eventually pardon you

And all your untold crimes,

But the question is

Whether you will have the daring capacity

To forgive yourself.

```

11146

```

Vaster than vastness,

Sweeter than sweetness,

Is the seeker’s humility-fulness.

```

11147

```

O my mind,

How can I ever forgive you?

Do you think I do not know

All about

Your cleverly secret meeting

With the doubt-dragon? ```

11148

```

Your mind’s small eyes of curiosity

And your mind’s big ears of curiosity

Will not be able to receive

Your soul’s luminosity —

Never!

```

11149

```

You must daily pray and meditate.

A simple thing like that

Will bring God

The infinite Compassion and Satisfaction

To you.

```

11150

```

God excuses us

For each and every possible fault

Of ours.

Again, it is He who expects

That we shall not repeat

The same old story

Over and over again.

```

11151

```

A carefree,

Vagabond satisfaction-life

Is founded upon

Man’s hallucination-mind. ```

11152

```

If you are a clever man,

Then you will try

To surprise the world

With your mind’s brilliance.

If you are a wise seeker,

Then you will try

To inspire the world

With your heart’s cry. ```

11153

```

Why are you so anxious

To be left alone?

If you want satisfaction

From your life,

Then there is only one way

To achieve it,

And that is by establishing

Your sleepless oneness

With the world.

There is no other way! ```

11154

```

A God-hungry soul

Will never be threatened

By a doubtful mind.

```

11155

```

Your life’s progress-journey

Will stop nowhere

If your heart is the possessor

Of a universal oneness-belief. ```

11156

```

If your heart is a God-dreamer,

Then eventually

You are meant to be

God’s creation-lover. ```

11157

```

He who has faith

In God’s infinite Compassion-Light

Is definitely basking

In God-Eternity’s Sunshine. ```

11158

```

The doubting mind enjoys

Tornado-perplexity.

The searching and aspiring mind enjoys

The emptiness-fulness

Of silence-light.

```

11159

```

Each unhealthy thought

Is an immediate destroyer

Of your heart’s confidence-plants.

```

11160

```

If you have an eye of hope,

If you have a heart of faith

And if you have a life of dynamism,

Then God-fulfilment in and through you

Will definitely be an easy task.

```

11161

```

When Heaven descends

It does not see

Even one heart of satisfaction-light

On earth.

When earth ascends

It does not see

Even one soul of frustration-night

In Heaven. ```

11162

```

To illumine your mind’s

Confusion-night,

Every day call God by His real Name:

Infinity’s Compassion-Light. ```

11163

```

You may allow all your other possessions

To be taken away,

But do not allow one possession of yours

To be stolen,

And that possession is

Your Eternity’s hope-boat. ```

11164

```

A God-lover keeps his heart

Always ready

For another God-lover

To come in and station himself. ```

11165

```

Do not be a fool!

God has not asked you

To visit the grave

Of your deceased dreams.

He always asks you

To treasure

Your towering dreams.

```

11166

```

Only when your aspiration is intense,

Only when your dedication is genuine,

Can you conquer the torture

Of self-doubt. ```

11167

```

Even if you do not want

To approach God with your eyes open,

No harm!

But you have to approach God

With your heart’s door wide open!

```

11168

```

A seeker’s God-inspired mind

Alone

Can befriend a God-illumined heart.

```

11169

```

Your success-sunshine

Can be unlimited

Only when your dedication-arms

Do not enjoy the life

Of comfort and ease.

```

11170

```

God and His Compassion-Eye

And God and His Forgiveness-Heart

Are my aspiration-life’s

Faith-steering wheels. ```

11171

```

I am expecting God to forgive me.

I do not know, alas,

If God is expecting from me

My complete life-perfection. ```

11172

```

Do not give up,

Do not give up!

Your prayer-life

Is your future salvation.

Your meditation-heart

Is your future perfection.

Do not give up!

```

11173

```

Each God-inspired thought

Is God’s Satisfaction-Smile

In His manifested earth-consciousness.

```

11174

```

Each time I smile at God

With my gratitude-heart,

God grants me His blessingful Hands

And powerful Eye. ```

11175

```

I am asking God

To forgive me.

God is asking me

To receive Him first. ```

11176

```

God wants you to surrender

To Him

Both your mind’s ignorance-imperfection

And your heart’s wisdom-aspiration. ```

11177

```

The bond of oneness,

The aspiring heart is.

The division of mutual aloofness,

The doubting mind is. ```

11178

```

Your mind may not be

Tired of seeing

The deception on your face,

But your heart is not only

Tired of it

But also mortified by it. ```

11179

```

The human mind desires

The pride of liberty.

The divine heart treasures

The beauty, charm and fruitfulness

Of liberty.

```

11180

```

There was a time

When my mind was attached

To temptation-greed.

But now my mind is devoted

To perfection-hunger.

```

11181

```

Once you have sown faith-seed

Inside your heart-garden,

You are bound to be supremely happy,

For you will have the capacity

To go far beyond

The confines of reason. ```

11182

```

The seeker can easily be blessed

By the illumination and protection-wings

Of a God-sent messenger

If the seeker can sleeplessly live

Inside the genuine core

Of his aspiration-faith. ```

11183

```

Do not be afraid of a sharp turn

At every corner of your life!

Do not forget that life

Is a constant challenge,

And only a hero-warrior

Can and will win

On its battlefield.

```

11184

```

Dream not

Of hopes for tomorrow.

Live only in today’s

Promise-fulfilment-determination. ```

11185

```

Hope is sweet.

Hope is illumining.

Hope is fulfilling.

Hope can be everlasting.

Therefore, do not give up hope

Even in the sunset of your life. ```

11186

```

Poor mind!

It suffers from

Unproductive worries and anxieties.

Yet it will not welcome or invoke

Infinity’s tranquillity,

For unconsciously it cherishes

The powerful blows of anxiety and worry.

```

11187

```

The darkness of the thought-world

Every human being has seen,

But the light of will-power

Very few people can invoke. ```

11188

```

Why do you need a diploma

For your virtues,

Since God is eagerly waiting

To place you on His own Throne

And bless you with His own Crown?

```

11189

```

The eternal grievances of mankind

Can be illumined

Only when this world is blessed

With a oneness-heart of purity. ```

11190

```

Aspiration awakens.

Meditation illumines.

Aspiration awakens

The sleeping heart.

Meditation illumines

The unlit life. ```

11191

```

God cares for your life

In a very special way

Because you take very good care

Of your aspiring heart. ```

11192

```

God wanted you to give Him

Your oneness-heart.

Alas, you gave Him

Your haughtiness-mind, instead. ```

11193

```

The grumbling mind

Should know why it has failed.

The crying heart

Knows why and how it has succeeded. ```

11194

```

Because of your heart’s gratitude-leaf,

You are divinely good.

Because of your life’s surrender-flower,

You are supremely perfect. ```

11195

```

The heart knows

Where God is.

The mind does not know.

What is infinitely worse,

It does not care to know

Where God is. ```

11196

```

You say to God,

“Father, I have failed.”

God says to you,

“Are you so sure, My son?”

You say to God,

“Father, I have succeeded!”

God says to you,

“My son, I am not so sure.” ```

11197

```

Since God Himself

Is taking the trouble

Of examining me,

Can I not be strict

With my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life? ```

11198

```

You are assailed by doubts

Because you are not sailing

At every moment

Your heart’s aspiration-boat. ```

11199

```

Enough is enough, my mind!

Either you capitulate

To my God-seeking heart

For your radical transformation,

Or you will have to face

Complete annihilation! ```

11200

```

God will never stop giving you

His Encouragement-Smile

If your heart really prays

For your life’s unprecedented progress. ```
