Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 115

11401

```

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.

```

11402

```

I give God what I have:

A volcano of earth-complaints.

God gives me what He has:

His Heart’s infinite Compassion-Smiles. ```

11403

```

O my mind,

My heart is all ready

To help you clear

Your forest of thoughts.

Why do you not accept

My heart’s unconditional help? ```

11404

```

If your life studies

In the school of Eternity’s patience,

Then your heart will become

Infinity’s immortal pride. ```

11405

```

The logic of the seeker’s faith:

His life exists precisely because

His God exists.

```

11406

```

He is totally lost

Because his eye denies the truth

And his mind defies the truth.

```

11407

```

You must not allow

Your inspiration to decay

Because a life of aspiration

Is still a far cry. ```

11408

```

Do not accept

The nearness of death,

For God Himself

Wants you to enjoy

The fulness of life.

```

11409

```

A life of unconditional surrender

Is God’s matchless

Beauty-toy.

```

11410

```

Only a purity-heart

Is permitted to pray

In the soul’s silence-temple.

```

11411

```

If you live in your mind’s

Sleeping complacency,

How can God grant you His Heart’s

Perfection-Satisfaction-Home? ```

11412

```

Every day you have to study

At God’s Compassion-School

If you want to reach your life’s

Unhorizoned realisation-goal. ```

11413

```

I am absolutely certain

That your austerity-mind

Can never live

Near God’s Spontaneity-Heart. ```

11414

```

You fool!

Who told you that God

Will give you innumerable chances

To change your life’s direction-flow?

He may give you one or two

Or even three chances,

But never more!

```

11415

```

Your life’s secret affiliation

With your mind’s doubt

Has compelled your aspiration-heart-stream

To run dry and futile. ```

11416

```

God has given you inner freedom

More than necessary

To refuse the lure of temptation-night.

Just daily use your freedom-light

To illumine your earth-existence.

```

11417

```

Unconsciously you treasure

Your life’s imperfection-forest.

Therefore, God does not answer

Even one question

Out of your life’s teeming questions.

```

11418

```

The sweet company of a selfless God-lover

Will help you live far away

From the slightest shadow of expectation.

```

11419

```

If you think that you are

A retired truth-seeker,

That means you are already

A fired God-lover. ```

11420

```

Allow not your mind

To feed on untrue fantasy-produce.

Just help your heart

To drink in profusely

God-intoxicating elixir.

```

11421

```

To possess the world forcefully

Is man’s animal greed.

To love the world soulfully

Is man’s divine need. ```

11422

```

What is desire

If not a powerful curse

From an unknown world?

```

11423

```

If yours is a heart

That does not believe in

God’s Compassion-Heart,

Then yours will be a life

Of total failure.

```

11424

```

If you love God the Creator

Devotedly and soulfully,

Then how can you be accused of ignoring

God the creation?

Are they not one?

```

11425

```

The heart loves only one season,

And that is the season of

The soul’s unconditional oneness

With its Beloved God. ```

11426

```

My aspiration-heart

Loves only one place:

God’s dream-flooded Garden.

```

11427

```

God proudly loves

The fragrance-flower

Of the seeker’s aspiration-heart.

```

11428

```

Do not undervalue

The capacity of hope.

Hope can shake hands

With promise-fulfilment. ```

11429

```

What I have to do

Is to sow progress-seed.

Then God will play His part:

He will give me

His Heart’s Satisfaction-Fruit.

```

11430

```

A true seeker’s heart

Will, without fail,

Drink a large quantity of devotion-drink

Every day. ```

11431

```

Act not like a beggar!

Fly the banner

Of your oneness-divinity

With your Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

11432

```

The Golden Boat is sailing.

If you have not yet established

Your oneness-love with your Inner Pilot,

How can you be invited to be a passenger

In the Golden Boat?

```

11433

```

If you give up

Living inside your heart-world,

At every moment you have to bow

Either to your tricky mind

Or to your tyrant-vital.

```

11434

```

Follow not

Your blindness-mind;

Follow only

Your kindness-heart! ```

11435

```

Leave your ignorance-“I”!

Your bumper crop of realisation

Does not depend on your mind’s brilliance

But on your heart’s surrender-joy. ```

11436

```

For the betterment of this world

What have you done?

Have you ever said even one thing nice

About this earth?

Have you ever thought of pouring

Your concern-light

Into the heart of each and every human being?

```

11437

```

You cannot get confidence-light

And competence-might

Unless you dare to compete

With your own Heavenward achievements. ```

11438

```

I shall not blame

Your curiosity-mind,

But you also must not criticise

My heart’s purity-plant. ```

11439

```

If you become

A humility-instrument-doll,

You are bound to hear

God’s clarion Call. ```

11440

```

God asked you not to compromise

With ignorance-night.

Alas, you have not only compromised

With ignorance-night,

But you have also established

Your oneness-heart

With the destruction-blows

Of ignorance-night. ```

11441

```

Because of your newly acquired

Purity-heart,

Your life’s transformation-gate

Is opening for you today. ```

11442

```

God is so proud of you

Because you are spreading

Ripples of cheerfulness

Inside His Heart-Garden. ```

11443

```

You show God what you have:

Your heart’s aspiration-fountain.

God will give you what He has:

His Heart’s Satisfaction-Mountain. ```

11444

```

What you have is nothing other than

An attention-seeking vital.

What God wants you to become is

A surrendered, fulfilling willingness. ```

11445

```

Let yesterday sleep,

And allow not frustration

To rule your mind.

Tomorrow’s satisfaction-sun

Will be all yours.

Just start seeing the rise

Of your surrender-heart-tide.

```

11446

```

If compassion

Is not in your aspiration-heart,

Then the smile of your concern-eye

Is a deliberate falsehood. ```

11447

```

There is nothing

That self-giving cannot conquer.

It can even conquer the very pride

Of Death-Monarch. ```

11448

```

God asks me

To enjoy the treasure

Of my heart-life

And not the pleasure

Of my mind-life.

```

11449

```

Are you not tired of living

Inside your mind-desert?

If so, then come and live

In your heart’s aspiration-oasis. ```

11450

```

I love the world

That needs my heart

More than the world

That admires my mind. ```

11451

```

Become your heart’s

Sympathy-contribution.

God will grant you His Heart’s

Satisfaction-Nest. ```

11452

```

It is good to know

That God loves me.

It is better to know

That God needs me.

It is best to know

That God does everything

Unconditionally for me.

```

11453

```

Gratitude is sweet

When others expect it from me.

Gratitude is sweeter

When I expect it from others.

Gratitude is sweetest

When the giver and the receiver

Soulfully and powerfully sing

Their oneness-song. ```

11454

```

If you are swimming

In your mind’s desire-river,

God will never want to be

His Heart’s Satisfaction-Giver. ```

11455

```

God does not want

To fulfil your desire

Precisely because

He wants to fulfil His own Desire.

What is God’s Desire?

His Desire is to make you

Exactly like Him: another God.

```

11456

```

Last night

I had two sweet visions:

From now on

I shall be able to love God

Unconditionally,

And God will proclaim my heart-victory

To the world at large.

```

11457

```

What has made my life strong?

Not

Doing anything for myself

Or for the rest of the world,

But

Touching God’s Haven-Feet

And smiling at God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

11458

```

This heartbroken world

Will have not only consolation

But also perfection

When it begs truth-light

To manifest itself in sleepless action.

```

11459

```

Since yours is a very promising heart,

God will grant you the capacity

To follow His fastest forward Stride.

```

11460

```

God cries

With His transcendental Satisfaction-Joy

When Immortality’s aspiration-cry

Struggles in and for

Mortality’s transformation-breath.

```

11461

```

Not true, not true!

You are uninspired

Not because you are tired.

You are uninspired

Because you do not value

The supreme satisfaction

Of reaching your destination.

```

11462

```

Two truth-seekers:

One truth-seeker thinks

That God lives for the seeker’s perfection.

The other feels

That the seeker lives for God’s Satisfaction.

I think God is proud of them equally. ```

11463

```

I do not know why

You are so deeply interested

In entering into your closed mind-room,

When your heart-room is wide open

And welcoming you cheerfully.

```

11464

```

A heart of purity

And a life of simplicity

Not only are fond of each other,

But also quite often live together. ```

11465

```

Because of your God-searching mind,

I admire you.

Because of your God-serving heart,

I love you. ```

11466

```

Was there any time

When there was no necessity,

Or will there be any time

When there will be no necessity

For the survival of humanity’s

Heaven-longing consciousness? ```

11467

```

I know you are busy.

At least, your mind has made you think so.

Even so, can you not find some time

To invite God, your Supreme Guest,

To bless you — your heart and your life —

With His all-illumining and all-fulfilling

Presence?

```

11468

```

If you want to live

In God’s Satisfaction-Palace,

Then you must always remain

In God’s Heart-Country:

Silence.

```

11469

```

Your heart will definitely feel

Ecstasy’s electric current

If you sleeplessly keep God

In full command of your aspiration-life. ```

11470

```

Do not be afraid of talking

To God’s Compassion-Eye.

It is all Concern.

Do not be afraid of thinking

Of God’s Forgiveness-Heart.

It is all Love. ```

11471

```

Every day, at every moment,

Be strict with your mind-mosquitoes!

Unnecessarily and shamelessly

They are biting your aspiring purity-heart. ```

11472

```

If you give up studying

At your heart’s inner school,

You are definitely going to betray

God the Transcendental Judge

And man the universal player.

```

11473

```

If you sleeplessly cry

For God the Compassion,

How can your faith-foundation,

Either in God or in yourself,

Be shaken?

```

11474

```

God and God’s Assurance-Voice

Are only for those

Who have taken God

As their only choice. ```

11475

```

If you do not participate

In the earth-transformation-game,

The soul of this earth

Will look neither beautiful nor fruitful

To you.

```

11476

```

Do not worry!

Even your mind’s audacity

Will one day surrender

To God’s unconditional Illumination-Reality.

```

11477

```

When I walk alone in the mind-forest,

Fear tries to befriend my heart

And doubt blinds my sight.

```

11478

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

How can I be truly happy

Unless I sit

At Your Compassion-Protection-Feet? ```

11479

```

If you study

In God’s obedience-training school,

Then you can become

Man’s perfection-teaching professor. ```

11480

```

Precious are my heart’s

Silence-tears.

Infinitely more precious is my Lord’s

Silence-flooded Eye. ```

11481

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am offering You

My life’s emotion-waves.

Will You not grant me

Your Heart’s Liberation-Ocean?

```

11482

```

God is triumphantly proud

Only of those who love and treasure

Their God-ordained God-responsibilities.

```

11483

```

My Lord Supreme compassionately tells me

Not to be afraid

Of the temptation-test

Of devouring time. ```

11484

```

My temptation-enemies are telling me

That God does not love my heart

And that God does not need my life.

My aspiration-friends are telling me

That God is crying for my love

And that God is eagerly waiting for

My life’s arrival.

```

11485

```

The clever mind

Will never be able to know

The wise heart’s oneness

With God’s Fulness. ```

11486

```

I cannot think

Of God the creation

Without thinking

Of God the Creator.

I cannot think

Of God’s Compassion-Eye

Without thinking

Of God’s Manifestation-Hands.

I cannot think

Of God’s transcendental Love

Without thinking

Of God’s universal Peace. ```

11487

```

How can I have peace?

Not by talking about peace,

But by walking

Along the road of peace. ```

11488

```

You are wrong!

Nobody’s purity-heart can enjoy friendship

With his mind’s suspicion-night.

```

11489

```

Infinity’s joy is crowning you

Because you have won today

Your heart’s surrender-gratitude-race.

```

11490

```

Do not live inside your mind’s

Multiplicity-room.

Live inside your heart’s

Unity-home. ```

11491

```

If you live

In your unlit mind,

How can you see the beauty

Of your sunlit heart? ```

11492

```

A silence-mind can challenge

The pride of ignorance-night.

Again, it is the silence-mind

That has the capacity

To invite and welcome God.

```

11493

```

Give your purity-heart a chance.

It will definitely take you

To God’s Heart-Garden-Beauty.

```

11494

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

How can I be absolutely perfect

Unless I sleeplessly beg You

To use Your Justice-Light

Whenever it is needed?

```

11495

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Although Your Feet are infinitely stronger

Than my heart,

When Your Thunder-Feet kick me

Either playfully or seriously,

I get tremendous joy. ```

11496

```

If you are locked

In your mind’s ignorance-room,

Then rest assured

That God’s Justice Department

Is not going to release you.

```

11497

```

Who can separate your future

From your present

Unless you become a gratitude-heart

In God’s Nectar-Compassion-Eye? ```

11498

```

A purity-heart

Is a lifetime member

Of God’s universal

Consciousness-blossoming committee. ```

11499

```

God does not want to waste

Your time or His time.

Therefore

With His blessingful Silence-Light

He asks you also not to waste

Either His or your

Mutually precious time.

```

11500

```

The mind’s perpetual message to God:

“O God, if You exist, then prove it

With Your infinite Power.”

The heart’s habitual message to God:

“O God, I do not want to know

Whether You exist or not.

I just love You,

And shall forever do so.” ```
