Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 118

11701

```

There is only one way to Heaven:

My heart’s sleeplessly climbing

Aspiration-flame-cries.

```

11702

```

Never think

That at God’s choice Hour

God will give you

What you want.

No, never!

He will give you

At His choice Hour

What you need:

Perfection in your aspiration.

```

11703

```

I had a dream:

God was invisible.

I have a dream:

God is visible.

I will have a dream:

God will not only be visible

But also available.

```

11704

```

If you reject the mind’s dictates,

God Himself will teach you

How to fly

In His Heart’s Illumination-Sky. ```

11705

```

Life is not

A tragic accident-experiment.

Life is God’s

Magic Compassion-Experience. ```

11706

```

This morning

I offered a very special prayer

To my Lord Supreme:

“My Lord,

Save my heart-purity

From my mind-poison.” ```

11707

```

Your slow and steady

Life-dedication-train

Is bound for God’s Victory-Station.

```

11708

```

There is only

One disgrace:

I do not want to become

A perfect instrument

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

11709

```

What each aspiring life needs

Is an unparalleled

Spontaneity-smile.

```

11710

```

God invented my purity-heart.

When am I going to discover

My surrender-life?

```

11711

```

The beauty of my heart’s perfection-rainbow

Has given God

A complete Satisfaction-Meal.

```

11712

```

Try to explore

The limits of aspiration.

God will give you the power

Of His self-giving Smile. ```

11713

```

Nobody wants you to be

The victim of your mind-master.

You can easily become

The oneness-life of your heart-friend. ```

11714

```

If you have the desire

To cancel the past,

Then God will come to you

As a guest

Of your greatness-height

And goodness-light. ```

11715

```

If your mind stands on

The assembly line of thoughts,

You will be forced to remain estranged

From your God-blessed satisfaction-life. ```

11716

```

Your life-sea

Has become violently rough

Because you have allowed yourself

To be distracted

By powerful earth-bound desire-thoughts.

```

11717

```

Although I have told God repeatedly

That perfection is a far cry

In my life,

God has cheerfully sent me

A wide-open Heart-Invitation.

```

11718

```

I am lost,

My aspiration is shockingly lost

And my dedication is completely lost

In between

Heaven-silence and earth-violence.

```

11719

```

Your doubting mind

Is fully responsible

For your aspiring heart’s

Decaying and dying faith. ```

11720

```

Because of a new supply of sincerity

In your mind

And a new supply of purity

In your heart,

Fast, very fast, are fading away

Your old desire-problems. ```

11721

```

Most happily

God will announce your victory twice:

Once when you have conquered

Your impurity-mind

And once when you have offered

Your purity-heart to God. ```

11722

```

God is willing to work

With you and for you,

But you have to choose God

As your only Liberator-Champion-Supreme. ```

11723

```

What have I learnt

From my clever mind?

I have learnt how to possess

A deep-seated desire:

World-conquest.

```

11724

```

Because of your heart’s weak devotion,

You think that God will not bless you

With His Heart’s strong Compassion.

You are totally mistaken! ```

11725

```

God is not

A greedy businessman.

He is His Heart’s

Unconditionally self-giving Delight. ```

11726

```

My Lord Supreme,

I may know just a little

About Your Justice-Light,

But I shall never, never know enough

About Your infinite Compassion-Ocean.

```

11727

```

Because you are at the open door

Of Infinity,

The sunlit silence of Immortality

Is welcoming you. ```

11728

```

If you want to search breathlessly

For your Lord Supreme,

Then be always an inspiring and inspired

Front runner. ```

11729

```

You may be right when you say

That God does not love you,

But rest assured,

God’s Compassion can never forget you. ```

11730

```

Since you are lethargy incarnate,

The gates of death

Are lovingly welcoming you.

```

11731

```

You want to know

What I have been doing all this time.

I have been doing only one thing:

I have been longing for hope-dawn

In my sorrow-filled life.

```

11732

```

Because you have allowed

Your vital to choose,

You and your heart have lost everything —

Everything that longs for

Earth-perfection and God-Satisfaction.

```

11733

```

Now that you have become

A traveller of the Beyond,

God the Compassion

Will not miss you any more. ```

11734

```

Because you have not listened

To the dictates of your Inner Pilot,

Today you have become

A victim of stark imperfection. ```

11735

```

If you can sleep without desire-thorns,

Your life-car will travel

Faster than the fastest

In the progress-lane. ```

11736

```

Each time I enjoy a pure thought,

I feel that I am living

In my own homemade Heaven.

```

11737

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do grant me the capacity

To sign a life-long contract

With obedience, surrender

And gratitude-company.

```

11738

```

How do you know

That your desire-licence

Will not expire?

I assure you, before long

God will replace your desire-licence

With an aspiration-licence

Even before your desire-licence expires.

```

11739

```

Because I live

In the land of soulfulness,

I am able to meet regularly

With my two best friends:

Aspiration and dedication.

```

11740

```

Your humility-mind

And your sincerity-heart

Will always be able to create

A climate of perfection-receptivity for you. ```

11741

```

My life’s outer opportunities

Cannot even knock at my Lord’s Door.

My life’s inner opportunities

Do not have to knock at my Lord’s Door.

My Lord keeps His Door wide open

For them. ```

11742

```

Your meditation-regularity-ride

Will definitely take you

Along your liberation-progress-highway.

```

11743

```

No matter how slow

Your selflessness-progress-feet are,

You will be able to reach your destination

Long before you can ever imagine. ```

11744

```

Your soul has been waiting

For thousands of years

To bring God to your heart-home

For God’s complete Satisfaction in you. ```

11745

```

God is searching for a new cry

In my heart-cave.

I am longing for a new Smile

In God’s Vision-Eye. ```

11746

```

Because of my life’s new surrender

To God,

God has given me

His Heart’s new address. ```

11747

```

Do you not know

That your soul has been waiting

For a thousand years

To become an unconditional God-lover? ```

11748

```

What has stolen your heart’s oneness

With God?

Your incapacity to dream of God

The infinite Compassion. ```

11749

```

God does not mind if you forget

To thank Him,

But He does mind if you do not have

A purity-heart. ```

11750

```

God will not allow you

To take Him home with you

If you do not sing for Him

A surrender-song

And dance for Him

A surrender-dance

In front of His Heart-Palace.

```

11751

```

Although we have discovered

And even accepted the right path,

We do not want to walk fast

Along the path.

We want only to enjoy rest,

Endless rest. ```

11752

```

God lost a most precious dream

The day my aspiring heart

Surrendered to my doubting mind.

```

11753

```

You may think I am a fool,

And I don’t deny it.

But I am a genuine Truth-loving fool.

```

11754

```

God knows that you have

Many responsibilities.

But do you not know

That each time you take on

A new responsibility,

God is ready to take

Another step forward towards you?

```

11755

```

If you start

With your heart’s aspiration-dawn,

Then you are bound to enjoy

Your soulful life’s progress-day. ```

11756

```

When your life is

A hesitation-story,

How can you have the eye to see

God’s Compassion-Glory? ```

11757

```

If your mind is unfaithful in thought,

Then you will be compelled to be

The possessor of untold miseries.

```

11758

```

If you are pursuing perfection,

Then patience has to be

Your only luminous companion.

```

11759

```

After centuries and centuries

Of ignorance-sleep,

Today his awakened life

Has met with an unfamiliar God:

The God of Justice-Light.

```

11760

```

Because you have abandoned

Your heart-citadel,

You are now forced to live

In the forest of darkness-fears. ```

11761

```

His soul has invited

A good many comrade-souls

To attend the funeral

Of his mind’s desire-life. ```

11762

```

If you can enjoy

Your heart’s soulful meditation

And your life’s fruitful action,

Then know and feel

That God is gloriously fulfilled

In and through you. ```

11763

```

One God-Call can awaken you

For the fulfilment of

God’s sacred Heart’s secret Promise.

```

11764

```

If your mind is intent

On your life’s transformation,

Then yours will be

A world-home of peace. ```

11765

```

Since your mind lives in doubt-territory,

How can you expect perfection-privileges

From God’s Compassion-Eye?

```

11766

```

You will remain the champion of failures

Unless your life-breath

Grows into sure-footed faith.

```

11767

```

The leftovers from another life

Must not be taken seriously,

For they cannot be of any real help to us

In our fast-awakening divinity. ```

11768

```

For those who give up,

There can be no inner universe

Of peace and bliss.

```

11769

```

My soulful heart

Always illumines me

With its purity-sweetness-charms.

```

11770

```

If you give up playing

The inner game,

How will your Lord’s Dream

Ever come true? ```

11771

```

A soulful dedication is the beginning of

A newness and fulness-peace

In God’s Perfection-Manifestation.

```

11772

```

If you live in your unaspiring mind,

How can you avoid

The mind-struggles?

If you live in your aspiring heart,

How can you not enjoy

Your heart-play? ```

11773

```

You know that your desiring mind

Is the inventor of sorrow.

Why do you not go to your aspiring heart

To meet the discoverer of world-Delight? ```

11774

```

God promises complete satisfaction

Only after man offers

His long-cherished perfection-promise.

```

11775

```

If you do not create more receptivity,

Your heart’s aspiration-flower

May wilt,

And your life’s service-tree

May collapse.

```

11776

```

God sadly asks me,

“My poor child,

When My Heart invites you

Lovingly, compassionately and unconditionally,

How is it that your answer

Is always ‘no’?” ```

11777

```

A giant will-power-mind

Can lead, guide and illumine

Thousands and thousands

Of stray and uncomely thoughts. ```

11778

```

Every day you must skip

At least one desire-meal

And completely enjoy

One aspiration-feast. ```

11779

```

There is only one way

To enter into your confidence-heart,

And that way is to invite your hope-smile

To accompany you. ```

11780

```

What you need is

A death-defying faith

To climb up your heart’s aspiration-mountain

And declare your and God’s

Supreme Victory.

```

11781

```

You are corrupted by prosperity.

If you want to make any progress,

Then accept a humble

Simplicity-surrender-life. ```

11782

```

Keep anxiety out of your mind’s

God-invitation-room.

Yours will be a life

Of supremely blessed sky-vast peace. ```

11783

```

Because you have

An endless row of pure thoughts,

You will be able to take

Immortality-dictation

From God.

```

11784

```

Now that you have exhausted the vision

Of your curiosity-eye,

You will be able to enjoy

A speedy and confident forward-march

Towards your summit-goal.

```

11785

```

He does only one thing:

He lives in the shadow

Of his stupid ego.

```

11786

```

Because he crossed swords

With suspicion-night,

He is now enjoying

His life’s liberation-day. ```

11787

```

God wants us to obey Him,

But what we do

Is just offer Him

Our wavering willingness. ```

11788

```

Do not be perturbed

By man’s suspicion-hurricane

If you want your own life to live

In God’s Liberation-Sea. ```

11789

```

Real aspiration

Does not need public attention.

Real aspiration

Gets what it needs

To reach its ultimate destination

From God’s infinite Compassion. ```

11790

```

God has not hidden

Your Heaven-treasures:

Love, joy and peace.

It is you who have hidden them

In order to enjoy your earthly game

In a peculiar way. ```

11791

```

You do not have to stand

Before God’s Judgement-Seat

If you sleeplessly want

God’s Compassion

To rule your life.

```

11792

```

This world has not given us

The opportunity and capacity

To speak about it freely.

But God has given us

Unmistakably and unconditionally

Both the opportunity and the capacity

To speak about Him freely.

```

11793

```

The unaspiring mind thinks

That meditation is a waste of time.

The aspiring heart feels and knows

That meditation is

The secret and sacred blossoming

Of one’s Heaven-ascending life. ```

11794

```

My heart strongly feels

That the new generation will claim

The aspiration-flames of the inner world

As its birthright. ```

11795

```

A man without a goal

Is a restless sleep

Without a sweet dream.

```

11796

```

God is supremely surprised

When He sees

That man thinks

God can live without him. ```

11797

```

Can you not see

What you are doing

To your soul?

Either cleverly or foolishly

You are hiding your soul

In your mind’s dark cave. ```

11798

```

If you do not show

Your surrender-identification card

At God’s Heart-Door,

How will you be admitted

Through God’s Vision-Entrance?

```

11799

```

What is desire

If not a greedy possession

Of man’s ignorance-mind?

```

11800

```

If you want to be a perfection-runner,

Then start at the aspiration-start

And run along the progress-road

To the realisation-finish. ```
