Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 116

11501

```

When you pray to God

For God-Satisfaction,

When you meditate on God

For God-Satisfaction,

When you serve God

For God-Satisfaction,

Rest assured that God feels

That His entire creation

Will before long

Be in your vastness-oneness-heart. ```

11502

```

Even when everything fails you,

Do not give up hope;

For tomorrow’s dawn

May illumine your inner life

And fulfil your outer life.

```

11503

```

Read only

Your heart-aspiration-book

At the library

Of your soul’s illumination. ```

11504

```

If you do not allow your inner life

To guide you,

Then rest assured that your outer life

Will govern you. ```

11505

```

There are countless ways

For man to show his concern

For God’s creation vast.

Alas, most human beings

Do not care for even a single way.

```

11506

```

You can eventually become

A meditation teacher

Only after you have studied

For a long time

In your own heart-school.

```

11507

```

Each sincere God-lover

Is the beauty of a new dream

In God’s Vision-Eye.

```

11508

```

You and your purity-heart,

And God and His Compassion-Eye,

Need no proof

To convince the world

That you are unconditionally surrendered

To God’s Will. ```

11509

```

Each purity-heart

At every moment

Can enjoy the love and promise

Of an angel-friend. ```

11510

```

Surrender your human will

To God’s omnipotent Will.

Automatically you will strengthen

Your own faint hope and promise-life. ```

11511

```

A powerful meditation

Is nothing other than

A mighty sword

That can destroy the mind’s

Uncomely thoughts.

```

11512

```

Nobody can force you to visit

Your mind’s doubt-room

Unless you yourself are tempted

To make that Himalayan blunder. ```

11513

```

Expectation-fulfilment-fountain

Is reserved for those

Who live only for the perfect transformation

Of their own aspiration-hearts

And dedication-lives.

```

11514

```

In the inner world

Try to be the beauty

Of a perfection-flower.

In the outer world

Try to be the roar

Of a satisfaction-lion. ```

11515

```

Every day try to climb up

Your faith-Himalayas,

So that every moment

God’s Vision-Eye and Satisfaction-Heart

Can claim you as their very own.

```

11516

```

Either I may or I may not

Respond to God’s clarion Call,

But I do feel and know

That the rest of the world

Sooner or later

Will respond to God’s clarion Call. ```

11517

```

If you have a determination-mind

And an aspiration-heart,

Your faith will help you climb

God’s sunlit Mountain-Height. ```

11518

```

Each human being who comes into the world

Embodies earth’s hope-seed,

Which eventually grows into

Heaven’s promise-tree. ```

11519

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is counting your aspiration-mileage

And granting you

His Heart’s Satisfaction-Prize. ```

11520

```

Insecurity and impurity

Do not warn human beings.

They just attack us

Whenever they want to,

At their sweet will.

```

11521

```

Not God’s Justice-Light

But His Compassion-Height

Evaluates

Humanity’s aspiration-cry-performance. ```

11522

```

A true God-seeker

Will definitely be spellbound

By the inner beauty

Of a selfless God-lover. ```

11523

```

Once I lost my mind’s doubt-night,

I never found it again.

Once I found my heart’s aspiration-day,

I never lost it again. ```

11524

```

If you really know

God the Transcendental,

Then you are bound to serve

God the Universal. ```

11525

```

If you play before God

Your ignorance-confession-game,

Then God will not only play before you

His Wisdom-Perfection-Game

But will also teach you

How to play it. ```

11526

```

I use my heart-eye

To see the Feet of God.

God uses His Soul-Eye

To see His own Perfection

Inside my mind.

```

11527

```

My express aspiration-plane

Is flying through the sky

To where ignorance-night

Will never be allowed

To take birth.

```

11528

```

There is only one joy

That is lasting and everlasting,

And that joy

Is my oneness-silence-heart

With my Pilot Supreme.

```

11529

```

God’s Compassion-Rain

Will shatter

My mind’s ignorance-chain

Only when I welcome

My heart’s sovereignty-reign.

```

11530

```

God may not look always the same

For the dividing mind,

But God is always the same

For the uniting heart. ```

11531

```

Tomorrow is a stranger to you

Because you have not made friends

With today’s self-giving heart-host.

```

11532

```

Your prayer-life can protect you

Only when your meditation-heart

Lives for God

To enjoy His Divinity’s Fragrance

Inside your body-fort.

```

11533

```

Every day you must ask

Your realisation-Master

About the results

Of your aspiration-examination. ```

11534

```

Two supremely great competitors:

My surrender-life and my gratitude-heart.

Even God finds it difficult

To declare who the winner is. ```

11535

```

You do not have to discover

A new opportunity-road.

Every morning God comes to you

With at least ten different

Opportunity-roads.

What you have to do

Is to choose the one that you like best

And speedily run along that road

To reach your light-flooded destination.

```

11536

```

God for God’s sake:

This is the only thought

That can give you satisfaction

Right from your first breath

To your last breath.

```

11537

```

If your heart is

An unceasing prayer-cry,

Then God will allow you

To fly in His Ecstasy-Sky. ```

11538

```

How each human being cherishes

Ignorance-night!

I take it as the mystery

Of millennia. ```

11539

```

In the very near future

God’s Peace-Prediction

Is unmistakably going to come true.

Just wait and see

With a prayerful heart

And a soulful life. ```

11540

```

God will perfect

Your life-imperfections

If you can cheerfully sit at

God’s Compassion-flooded

Forgiveness-Feet.

```

11541

```

When the outer life

Enjoys its madness-freedom too much,

The inner life goes to sleep

And enjoys the beauty of silence unknown. ```

11542

```

No true inspiration can ever remain

Unexpressed,

Unrevealed

And unmanifested

In God’s vast creation.

```

11543

```

If you want to enjoy

A life-blossoming smile,

Then you must have a death-defying faith

Deep inside your heart. ```

11544

```

If your mind can have

A row of pure thoughts,

Then your heart will enjoy

God-ascendence-flight. ```

11545

```

I am still alive

Because my Lord Supreme has given me

His Eternity-deep Forgiveness-Sea.

```

11546

```

When is God’s Birthday?

God’s Birthday is when

Man completely becomes his surrender-life

And soulfully becomes his gratitude-heart. ```

11547

```

A world without man,

God does not want.

A world without God,

A truth-seeker can never imagine. ```

11548

```

It seems to me

That my aspiration-days

Are now nothing other than

My buried treasure. ```

11549

```

Do you want to increase

Your aspiration-capacity?

If so, then tirelessly look

At God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

11550

```

First you have to become

Your heart’s purity.

Then only will you be able to see

Your soul’s summit-divinity. ```

11551

```

If your heart does not want to work

On God’s Manifestation,

Then how can you expect God to work

On your aspiration? ```

11552

```

There is only one way to increase

Your heart’s love for God,

And that is to perform every day

Your life’s dedication-service. ```

11553

```

All selfish thoughts

And all anxiety-stricken frustrations

Disappear in God-Beauty’s Oneness-Garden.

```

11554

```

Slowly but effectively

God’s Justice demolishes

Man’s vital demand-walls.

```

11555

```

When your searching mind

Has replaced your doubting mind,

Then God will appear before you

With His Heart’s Satisfaction-Smile. ```

11556

```

Surrender to God’s Perfection-Will

Is the only inevitable way

To abiding happiness.

```

11557

```

You will always be attacked

By ruthless insecurity

If your heart fails to dream

Of a universal oneness-reality. ```

11558

```

Who is your enemy?

Not he who speaks ill of you,

But he who disturbs your heart’s purity-joy

And your life’s oneness-breath. ```

11559

```

How do you dare to enjoy

Your vital adventures?

Are you not aware of

Their all-destructive, imminent dangers? ```

11560

```

Do not look back!

Do not think of the past!

Do not waste your precious time!

If you are all for the past,

Then all the misfortunes of the past

Will chase you towards the all-devouring tiger

Of ignorance-night.

```

11561

```

Your aspiration-life

Has come to an abrupt halt

Because you are enjoying the indulgence

Of your over-valued self-image. ```

11562

```

How can you ever approach God

If you ignore the reproach of your soul

When you make Himalayan blunders?

```

11563

```

Ask your heart to run

Towards tomorrow’s dawn.

Joy abides in the fulness of newness

And not in the study of old chapters

Of your old life-book.

```

11564

```

Your depression-vital is already strong.

The more you cherish it,

The more you strengthen it

And the sooner you dig

Your own aspiration-grave.

```

11565

```

Every morning and every evening

My heart longs for only a few glimpses

Of my Lord’s perfection-revealed

Satisfaction-Face. ```

11566

```

Only a God-oneness-heart

Does not roam

From destruction to satisfaction.

It always breathes in satisfaction-Delight. ```

11567

```

If you do not claim God

As your own, very own,

God is not going to perfect your life

So you can enjoy satisfaction-delight. ```

11568

```

May my heart’s devotion-intensity

Open my heart-door

The moment God knocks.

```

11569

```

Once more God is asking you

To make an immediate choice

Between your mind’s imperfection-night

And your heart’s perfection-sun. ```

11570

```

God cries

When I tell Him a lie.

God smiles and smiles

When I deliberately try

To fool Him.

```

11571

```

Because you have left

God’s Protection-Feet,

You now have become

Your mind’s destruction-debris. ```

11572

```

Peace at all costs!

Indeed,

This is my soul’s sacred promise

And my heart’s secret promise. ```

11573

```

God’s Forgiveness-Task

God has already performed.

My gratitude-task

I have not even started.

Alas, will I ever begin?

```

11574

```

My Lord tells me to feed Him

Not with my heart’s false promise-cries

But with my soul’s true promise-dreams.

```

11575

```

May my heart grow into

An endless aspiration-flight

So that I can battle against

All earth-temptation-

Imperfection-disaster-problems.

```

11576

```

You are thousands of miles short

Of your surrender-life.

How, then, can you expect God’s

Infinite Ocean-Delight? ```

11577

```

If you are a student

In the aspiration-school,

Then you cannot be found playing

In the self-interest-playground. ```

11578

```

Your incurable stupidity

Will be responsible for

Your fruitless future frustration-life.

```

11579

```

A life of uncertainty

Is bound to collide

With tomorrow’s God-blossoming hour.

```

11580

```

All his possibilities are locked up

Inside his hesitation-mind

Because his vital is a spiral

Of dark chaos. ```

11581

```

Unless I give my Lord Supreme

Complete freedom to mould my life

In His own Way,

How can I dare to expect

A perfection-life for myself?

```

11582

```

The mind’s huge division-walls

Can be torn down

Only with the heart’s soulful cries

And the life’s powerful smiles. ```

11583

```

I shall never walk

Along the road of ingratitude,

For that is the road

From which I will not be able to return

To my heart’s satisfaction-home.

```

11584

```

Is there any desire-life

That has not been stolen

From ignorance-king?

Again, is there any aspiration-life

That has not dethroned

Ignorance-king? ```

11585

```

Because you have

Vast patience-reserves,

Your inner pilot is happy with you

And fulfilled in you. ```

11586

```

Your soulful gratitude-days

Are long ago gone.

That means God has powerfully withdrawn

His Satisfaction-Sun

From your heart-cave.

```

11587

```

Do you want to have

An interview with God?

If so, send your cheerful love-valentines

To God’s Heaven-Home. ```

11588

```

You can utilise your Heaven-opportunities

Only by cultivating

One supreme necessity:

Your sleepless hunger-cry for God. ```

11589

```

Why have you allowed

Your dedication-life-light

To grow dim?

Is it because

You cannot separate yourself

From binding expectation-shackles? ```

11590

```

God wants us to see Him

As frequently as possible —

Even if it is not possible

During the day,

Then at least during

Our sleep-flooded dreams. ```

11591

```

When I become my heart-gratitude,

My Lord Supreme immediately becomes

His Forgiveness-Smile.

```

11592

```

There shall come a time

When my mind’s doubt

Will walk along the beautiful road

Of my aspiration-heart.

There shall definitely come a time.

```

11593

```

Every day I am praying

For a heart that will have poise-dynamo

To shatter my anxiety-mind.

```

11594

```

My heart’s sweetness

Is bound to conquer

My mind’s age-old bitterness.

```

11595

```

God’s Oneness-Love

You can neither buy nor sell,

You can only achieve.

```

11596

```

God asks you for

Your sleepless co-operation.

He does not demand

Your immediate perfection. ```

11597

```

First show God

Your mind’s peace-pond.

Only then will God grant you

His Heart-Ocean. ```

11598

```

Develop every day

Your endurance-capacity.

Then God will bless you

With His Assurance-Quality. ```

11599

```

No human mind is a stranger

To anxiety-calamity.

No divine heart is a stranger

To silence-profundity. ```

11600

```

My Lord, I am asking You

The hardest question:

When will I realise You?

“My child, I am giving you

The immediate answer:

The day your outer life becomes

A sky-vast surrender

And your inner life becomes

A sea-deep gratitude.”
