Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 119

11801

```

Greet the morning

With your heart’s aspiration-cry.

Greet the evening

With your life’s gratitude-smile.

At night God will grant you

His Eternity’s Love and His Infinity’s Peace. ```

11802

```

The human mind and dissatisfaction

Are inseparable friends,

And God alone knows

If there is any chance left for them

To be totally transformed.

```

11803

```

Feed your heart-hunger

With God’s Compassion-Height

And God’s Forgiveness-Length.

```

11804

```

The jungle-mind does not know

And will never know

How to discover

Man’s life-obedience-smile. ```

11805

```

If you take the clever intentions

Of your mind

Seriously,

Then your heart’s cheerfulness-splendour

Will be chased

By your darkest mind-clouds. ```

11806

```

A searching mind is undoubtedly

The best friend

Of the heart’s oneness-fulness.

```

11807

```

The unaspiring mind

Always wants to be the president

Of life’s confusion-committee.

```

11808

```

Keep your soul’s compassion-banner

Flying high

So that God’s Smiles

Will sing and dance

In your God-oneness-heart.

```

11809

```

My heart wants to take rest

Not inside God’s Heart-Garden

But outside at God’s Feet.

```

11810

```

Who wants to be my partner

In my mind’s endless miseries?

Again, who wants to be my partner

In my heart’s constant self-giving? ```

11811

```

My hope-boat carries me far.

My promise-boat carries me farther.

My gratitude-boat carries me

Farther than the farthest,

Plus faster than the fastest.

```

11812

```

How can you receive God’s Blessings

If your heart does not first welcome

His absolute Will?

```

11813

```

When your mind is like

A big confusion-circus,

Your soul loses its hope-sky

And promise-sun for you. ```

11814

```

In a seeker’s life

Each unaspiring thought

Is a magnet

For frustration-failure-heart. ```

11815

```

If doubt is the mastermind

Of a disastrous life,

Then faith is the choice prince

Of God’s perfection-dreaming Kingdom. ```

11816

```

When I make friends

With my doubtful mind,

I see only one thing:

That my self-confidence

Is extremely slippery.

```

11817

```

My faith in God gives me the capacity

To have access to possibility.

God’s Faith in me gives me the capacity

To challenge the pride of impossibility. ```

11818

```

You want to know

What my aspiration does for me

In my day-to-day life.

It does two significant things:

It breaks all my expectation-chains,

And it helps me unconditionally

To be closer to God

Even when my consciousness

Is not at the top

Of my spirituality-mountain. ```

11819

```

When I offer my Lord

My heart’s aspiration-flames,

He blesses me with His descending

And embracing Satisfaction-Sun. ```

11820

```

Man tells God,

“My Lord,

I shall show You

A beautiful dream-land.”

God tells man,

“My child,

I shall give you

My fruitful Reality-Shore.” ```

11821

```

If your love of God is genuine,

At no time can you have

A head-on collision

With stark disappointment. ```

11822

```

If you enjoy the quagmire

Of self-doubt,

Then you will be unconsciously

Carrying with you

Today’s tears and tomorrow’s anguish-fears.

```

11823

```

If there is no soul’s sunshine,

How can the heart’s aspiration-plant

Ever grow and thrive?

```

11824

```

Every morning I offer

To my Lord Supreme

My heart’s secret hopes,

And every day my Lord grants me

His Heart’s sacred Promises.

```

11825

```

Every day I send my mind

To study at faith-school

So that it can become an excellent student

Of the world’s oneness-philosophy. ```

11826

```

Every day in vain

His soul and his heart try

To enter into his doubting mind’s

Unwillingness-prison. ```

11827

```

A heart of gratitude

And a mind of purity

Always stay together,

Move together

And work together.

```

11828

```

Unless you renew your love of God

Every day,

You are destined to mourn the loss

Of your faith-power. ```

11829

```

Your success-stories

May not reach God’s Ear,

But your progress-stories

Will reach both God’s Ear

And God’s Heart.

```

11830

```

Drive bravely and powerfully

Through your mind’s doubt-storms

On the strength of your previous

Sweet God-fondness and

God-oneness-moments.

```

11831

```

No clarity of the mind,

No perfection of life.

No perfection of life,

No satisfaction of God

The universal man.

```

11832

```

If you do not prosecute

Your suspicion-mind,

You will not be able to make friends

With your aspiration-heart. ```

11833

```

A heart of purity

Can easily make friends

With the rising tide

Of love, devotion and surrender. ```

11834

```

Our heart can easily possess

Permanent security

By cultivating sleepless faith

In God. ```

11835

```

A confidence-plant grows

Fast, faster, fastest

Into a joy-giving flowering tree.

```

11836

```

Do not forget to enter

Your heart-to-heart talk with God

Into your life’s soulful diary.

```

11837

```

God-Diner remains open

365 days a year

And blessingfully invites

God-hungry souls

To dine free of charge.

```

11838

```

Do not allow your aspiring heart

To be frightened

When it sees the mind

Leaving doubt-traces everywhere. ```

11839

```

Your heart’s glowing aspiration

Will definitely be able to avoid

All anxiety-disasters.

```

11840

```

I can clearly see

And I can unmistakably feel

That my Lord Supreme is eager

To increase the strength of my purity-breath

Every day.

```

11841

```

God does not want us to store

Any anxieties,

Even past anxieties,

In our overcrowded mind-rooms. ```

11842

```

The human mind

Knows how to conceal.

The divine heart

Knows how to reveal.

The Supreme Lord

Knows how to fulfil. ```

11843

```

An insecurity-heart

Is always the warning sign

Of a serious inner disease.

```

11844

```

God’s Compassion-Eye feels miserable

When it sees even one neglected soul

In His Oneness-World-Home.

```

11845

```

If you enjoy

Your partnership with self-doubt,

Then how can you expect God

To find time for you? ```

11846

```

If you allow inferiority

To govern you,

Then you take yourself away

From God’s Oneness-Heart-Land. ```

11847

```

Self-indulgence in the inner world

Always leads to

A dangerous and destructive

Frustration-night. ```

11848

```

My heart and God’s Heart

Are separated

By my self-doubt-wall,

And by nothing else. ```

11849

```

Patience within, power without!

Patience is a self-perfecting message;

Power is a God-fulfilling message.

```

11850

```

If you do not purify your thoughts,

Then how can you dare

To try to make God smile?

```

11851

```

One surrender-step

Is a perfect accomplishment

In man’s perfection-longing life.

```

11852

```

To enjoy the beauty

Of a silence-heart

Is to enjoy the bliss

Of a progress-life. ```

11853

```

If you are a genuine God-seeker,

Then you must never be seen

Moving around

At the foot of hesitation-hill. ```

11854

```

The God-realisation-journey

Starts with the aspiration-cry

And dedication-smile

Of the God-dreaming seeker. ```

11855

```

An impurity-mind

And an ingratitude-heart

Are extremely powerful realities

Which separate man from God. ```

11856

```

God the Justice

May not always find time for me,

But God the Compassion

Has always plenty of time for me

And for my satisfaction.

```

11857

```

Every day try to remember

Only one thing:

That you have to clear

Your mind’s jungle-thoughts. ```

11858

```

The outer school-education

Is definitely important.

The inner school-dedication

Is ultimately essential. ```

11859

```

It is good

To have confidence-light,

But if you overdraw

Your confidence-bank account,

Then it will be the beginning

Of your lamentable future. ```

11860

```

He who knows

The art of self-effacement

Will also discover

A way to God-fulfilment. ```

11861

```

The moment you break

All your human bonds,

God will give you

Not only a divine heart

But also His own Heart.

```

11862

```

Until I received

An invitation from God,

I participated

In the world-excitement-game —

Alas, far beyond my own imagination!

```

11863

```

To dream

Of God’s full manifestation on earth

Is the blossoming

Of the heart’s wisdom-sun. ```

11864

```

If your heart

Is a sleepless joy-singer,

Then it must also be

A thoughtless God-bringer. ```

11865

```

If yours is an open-hearted invitation

For God to step into your heart-room,

Then you will get a standing ovation

From the cosmic gods. ```

11866

```

My mind forgets

That God loves my mind.

My heart forgets

That both God and my heart

Equally need each other.

```

11867

```

My gratitude-breath

Is my invisible and invaluable

Helper-friend.

```

11868

```

Nobody can and nobody wants to

Practise what I preach.

But my Compassion-flooded

Lord Supreme

Smilingly practises

What I ceaselessly preach. ```

11869

```

Be sincere and be brave!

You know you do not know how

To solve the world’s problems.

```

11870

```

First ask God’s Permission

To enter into His Heart-Room.

Then He Himself will give you the capacity

To climb up His Divinity’s ascending

And expanding Tree.

```

11871

```

Make your promise to God

As soulfully as possible,

For God has assured you

That He will grant you fulfilment

As much as possible.

```

11872

```

Every day

Make your soulful obedience

Worthy of God’s supreme Command.

```

11873

```

Do not misuse God’s Compassion-Light

If you want God’s Perfection-Eye

And His Satisfaction-Heart

To act in and through you. ```

11874

```

God’s Forgiveness is not hard to find.

God’s Compassion is not hard to find.

God’s indifference and withdrawal

Are always hard to find. ```

11875

```

Nobody can be relaxed,

Nobody can be comfortable,

Nobody can be happy

Inside his mind’s ego-prison. ```

11876

```

How can you ever please God

If you do not take

His Compassion-Medicine

To cure your life-threatening

Spiritual ailments?

```

11877

```

I know what is done for me

By God the Compassion.

His Compassion is beautiful and powerful.

I know what is done through me

By God the Justice.

His Justice is absolutely perfect. ```

11878

```

Every day without fail

You must welcome

The purity-dawn for your mind

And the sincerity-day for your heart. ```

11879

```

My love of God

Is not a loan from God

But a gift from God.

```

11880

```

God’s Forgiveness inspired

My yesterday’s aspiration.

God’s Compassion is inspiring

My today’s perfection. ```

11881

```

Are you deaf?

Are you blind?

Can you not hear,

Can you not see

That God is begging you

To come out of your self-chosen

Ignorance-cave?

```

11882

```

If your life is all self-importance,

Then God has infinitely more

Important things to do

Than be with you. ```

11883

```

Your heart’s aspiration-tears

Will definitely please God,

And you will one day climb up

The Himalayan realisation-mountain. ```

11884

```

If your heart knows the truth,

Then help your heart to compel your mind

To speak the truth.

```

11885

```

After you have won

God’s Compassion-Light,

You will eventually win

God’s Fulfilment-Smile. ```

11886

```

What you have

Is a superficial heart.

How, then, do you expect God

To dance His Satisfaction-Dance

For you?

```

11887

```

When your mind is plagued

By dark doubts,

You are bound to be imprisoned

By all limitations — inner and outer. ```

11888

```

It is the mind’s inspiration-bud

That before long grows into

The heart’s aspiration-flower

And eventually becomes

The life’s realisation-fruit.

```

11889

```

Tell your heart that God

Loves your heart sleeplessly.

Tell your mind that God

Is coming to investigate your mind carefully. ```

11890

```

Ignore the last attack of impurity

Exactly the way you ignored

The first attack of insecurity:

Bravely and sleeplessly. ```

11891

```

Every day my Lord gives me

The capacity to free myself

From frustration-night.

But, alas,

My fondness for temptation-snake

Does not allow me to please my God. ```

11892

```

Only take one brave step

To please God, your Inner Pilot.

Do you know what that brave step will be?

Planting a sincerity-plant in your heart. ```

11893

```

Do not save your gratitude-heart

For God-Satisfaction-Day.

Who knows, that sacred day

May never arrive in your life. ```

11894

```

O world’s gossip-tongue,

No, not even God’s Compassion-Sky

Can forgive your ceaseless stupidity-flow.

```

11895

```

My Lord Supreme,

I need Your inner Supervision

To perfect my life.

My Lord Supreme,

I need Your outer Supervision

To fulfil Your outer Command. ```

11896

```

You must never appreciate

The stupidity-mind.

You must every day garland

The wisdom-surcharged soul. ```

11897

```

Be careful!

I assure you that one day

Time will throw you out

Of your superiority-palace.

Therefore, become and remain

A satisfied humility-plant. ```

11898

```

Do not overlook the daily faults

Of your unaspiring mind.

Do not underestimate

Your heart’s aspiration-cry

For your life’s perfection-smile.

```

11899

```

Every morning without fail

I go to God the Supreme Doctor

For faith and dedication-injections.

```

11900

```

My Lord Supreme,

May each day become

My heart’s aspiration-fulfilment-day.
