Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 123

12201

```

A true truth-seeker’s life

Every day ascends

With a rising rainbow

Of supreme delight. ```

12202

```

May my mind’s thought-world

Peacefully rest

In my aspiring heart’s

Silence-nest. ```

12203

```

You are your heart’s

Breathless willingness.

Therefore, God will grant your life

Abundant fruitfulness. ```

12204

```

My mind is wrapped

In the ever-growing hope

That I will go beyond the domain

Of insecurity-pain. ```

12205

```

May my heart never stop dreaming

Every night

My life-transformation-dream.

```

12206

```

Because of my heart’s

Humility-light,

I never come near my mind’s

Ego-tree. ```

12207

```

There can be no hurtful conflicts

Between an aspiration-heart

And a dedication-life.

```

12208

```

If you do not pray

For your heart’s oneness-courage,

Then yours will be a life

Of ceaselessly accumulated insecurity. ```

12209

```

O priceless moments

Of unconditional surrender-delight,

Do you really exist?

Or is your existence-light

The product

Of man’s hallucination-mind? ```

12210

```

From my mind’s obedience

My heart receives cheerfulness.

From my heart’s cheerfulness

My Lord receives supreme Satisfaction. ```

12211

```

Surprisingly vast

Is my mind’s sound-sea.

Astonishingly pure

Is my heart’s silence-sun. ```

12212

```

Although lethargy carries iron weights,

It wants to roam

In the expectation-fulfilment-garden.

```

12213

```

You can neither fly high

Nor dive deep

With your aspiration-hobby.

You can never set your heart-sails

For your life’s sunrise

With your aspiration-hobby. ```

12214

```

I surprisingly

Found God

Right where I

Deliberately left Him. ```

12215

```

There can be no choice

Between

My life’s progress-light

And

My heart’s satisfaction-delight.

```

12216

```

My heart’s obedience-light

Flies with God.

My mind’s disobedience-night

Crawls with man. ```

12217

```

Unless you fight against yourself

And win,

You cannot escape

Your doubtful and hurtful mind. ```

12218

```

Every morning God comes to me

To congratulate me

On my cheerfully surrendered

God-acceptance-life. ```

12219

```

You can be another God

The day you bravely challenge

The ceaseless pride

Of your unhappiness. ```

12220

```

Since God owns

My heart’s aspiration-hunger,

I must disown

My mind’s frustration-feast. ```

12221

```

Everything that is supremely fruitful

On earth

Is on temporary loan

From Heaven. ```

12222

```

Because of your humility-mind

And your purity-heart,

You will before long become

In the inner world

An ultra-distance runner

With striking speed. ```

12223

```

He who enjoys self-doubt

Is indeed

An insecurity collector.

```

12224

```

Awaken

Your heart’s faith-soldiers.

It is high time for them

To destroy

Your mind’s doubt-demons.

```

12225

```

The seeker’s

Aspiration-heart-cry-hunger

And God’s

Satisfaction-Smile-Meal

Are a oneness-pair.

```

12226

```

A Ph.D.

may not understand God,

But a kindergarten student

Can at once understand

And reveal God.

```

12227

```

Desire means

Emptiness-beggar.

Aspiration means

Fulness-emperor. ```

12228

```

O my mind,

Why are you such a fool?

When are you going to make God

Your very first resort? ```

12229

```

No soulful aspiration-heart-cry

Will ever fail to reach

God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

12230

```

Aspiration-perfection achieved,

Lo, the bondage of self-will

Long deceased!

```

12231

```

Your sleepless unwillingness

Is bound to suffer from the fever

Of ruthless ego-frustration.

```

12232

```

O faith-deserter,

You have next to nothing,

Yet you expect everything,

Including God’s supreme Pride

In you.

```

12233

```

Alas,

Your unused heart-capacities

Are decaying

Faster than your fastest

Imagination-flight!

```

12234

```

My aspiration-heart was born

To be daily fed

By God’s Compassion-Height

And not to be ruthlessly tormented

By negative thoughts.

```

12235

```

Fight off your ego-fever.

Otherwise, you will suffer

From a dislocated mind.

```

12236

```

I loved my soul’s

Ancient illumination-journey.

I love my life’s

Modern perfection-goal. ```

12237

```

My mind,

I have accepted you

As you are.

How stupid you are

Not to accept yourself!

```

12238

```

I can never become

A God-pleaser

Without being blessed

By God’s unconditional

Compassion-Sea.

```

12239

```

Yesterday I was

A God-chooser.

Today I am

A God-prayer.

Tomorrow I shall become

A God-surrenderer. ```

12240

```

Yesterday my heart

Was a God-invoker.

Today my heart

Is a God-praiser.

Tomorrow my heart

Will be a God-supplier. ```

12241

```

Yesterday my mind

Was a God-adorer.

Today my heart

Is a God-follower.

Tomorrow my life

Will be a God-lover. ```

12242

```

Yesterday I was

A God-invoker.

Today I am

A God-affirmer.

Tomorrow I shall be

A God-satisfier. ```

12243

```

Yesterday I was

A God-meditator.

Today I am

A God-embracer.

Tomorrow I shall become

A God-publiciser. ```

12244

```

Yesterday my soul

Was a God-dreamer.

Today my heart

Is a God-beginner.

Tomorrow my life

Will be a God-producer. ```

12245

```

It requires the wisdom-light

Of the heart

To enjoy the perfection-delight

Of the soul. ```

12246

```

It requires a giant exercise

Of faith

To manifest the oneness-bond

Of man with God. ```

12247

```

Because you are no longer

Restrained by self-doubt,

God’s Satisfaction-Heart-Joy

Is swirling around your life. ```

12248

```

Each day is a new opportunity

For my mind’s fear

To depart

And for my heart’s strength

To arrive.

```

12249

```

To escape

The great grip of frustration,

Every day you and your heart

Must soulfully open new frontiers. ```

12250

```

Disobedience is happy

Only when

It astronomically multiplies

The ignorance-night

Of each and every human being.

```

12251

```

If you want to reach

Divinity’s summit,

Then you must use sleeplessly

The wings of your heart’s

Aspiration-bird.

```

12252

```

Devotion has the capacity

To purify the vital,

Illumine the mind

And

Simplify the life.

```

12253

```

You will be able to come out

Of the sea of insecurity

If you devotedly obey

The whisper-call

Of your Inner Pilot.

```

12254

```

How can your life’s manifestation-tree

Have leaves

If your heart’s inner cry

Is not genuine? ```

12255

```

Water your heart’s faith-garden

Faithfully every day

If you do not want to develop

Doubt-blight

In your unaspiring mind.

```

12256

```

If you want

Your aspiration and expectation

To go together,

Then you must be prepared

To fight constantly

Against the attack of frustration-wolf. ```

12257

```

The inner life teaches us

How to be detached

From the desire-life

And how to be attached

Only to God,

The Compassion Supreme. ```

12258

```

Before you pray and meditate,

Try to see

That there is no failure-thought

In your mind’s silence-room. ```

12259

```

I call it

My aspiration-heart.

God calls it

His Dream-Fulfilment-Smile. ```

12260

```

Since you are so attached

To your self-doubts,

Your soul withdraws its promise

To your heartless life. ```

12261

```

No seeker-soul

Will communicate with you

Unless you change your ego-address

To a oneness-address. ```

12262

```

Your mind’s doubts

Create all problems for you,

But your heart’s faith

Can offer you most adequate solutions. ```

12263

```

Daily

Use your heart’s forgiveness-flames

To burn away

The jealousy-insecurity

Of the blind world.

```

12264

```

My Lord Supreme asks me

To smile powerfully every day

So that I do not remain any longer

His failure-child. ```

12265

```

The strange methods that fear offers

To save us

Are more useless than

A grain of sand. ```

12266

```

Each unhealthy thought

Can easily blow out

Your heart’s purity-candle.

```

12267

```

Ask your mind every day

To go to your heart-school.

Ask your heart every day

To sit at your soul-shrine. ```

12268

```

No good thought can ever be homeless,

For God Himself treasures

The beauty, purity and divinity

Of each and every good thought. ```

12269

```

Before your lower self betrays you,

Use your higher self

To expedite your

God-manifestation-promise. ```

12270

```

Each time I think of my mental pain,

I think of myself as a good seeker.

Each time I think of my psychic gain,

I feel that I am a chosen instrument

Of God Himself.

```

12271

```

If you do not swim against

Your life’s imperfection-current,

Then you will always find yourself

In life’s inferiority-corner. ```

12272

```

His mind-room every day welcomes

The Compassion-Sun from Above

And aspiration-flames

From the entire world. ```

12273

```

In the sacred chambers

Of my heart,

I see only God

And the Grace of His Smile. ```

12274

```

Do you not think

That God does not appreciate

Your heart’s sleepless

Insecurity-stories?

Alas, the soulful heart

Is quite often a captive

Of our ego-mind.

```

12275

```

No other place

But my heart-garden,

No other time

But God’s choice Hour —

Here and now.

```

12276

```

How can the tides of desire

Disappear

If you do not invoke God

To bathe you

In His Compassion-Wisdom-Light?

```

12277

```

I have one constant friend

And one constant enemy:

My morning hope

And

My evening frustration.

```

12278

```

You may not know where

Your heart’s purity is,

You may not know what

Your soul’s divinity is,

But I see your heart’s purity

And your soul’s divinity

Right on your soulful and powerful face.

```

12279

```

Each life has to be a surrender-tree

So that God’s

Love-Manifestation-Fruits

Can gladden the human life. ```

12280

```

Alas, when my mind does not

Accept the invitation from God,

It is my poor heart that suffers miserably,

And not my stupid mind. ```

12281

```

You have to keep

Your surrendered oneness-heart

Always pure

If you want to explore

The beauty and the divinity

Of the truth-world. ```

12282

```

God will make you

His Eternity’s partner

Only when your human life

And your divine breath

Live for God alone.

```

12283

```

As soon as you see the doubt-thief

Entering your mind-room,

Sound your heart-alarm!

You will be able to catch the thief

With no difficulty.

```

12284

```

Long before my heart-flames

Flicker and die,

I must do something supremely significant,

Supremely fruitful,

For the affection-heart of Mother Earth.

```

12285

```

God does not want to know

What you have done

With His Forgiveness-Delight.

God only wants to know

What you have done

With His Compassion-Height. ```

12286

```

The first and worst mistake

Of your life

Is that you have become

A self-ordained teacher

Of world-transformation.

```

12287

```

How can you have satisfaction-delight

If you allow yourself

Even unconsciously

To be held up by hesitation-hooligan? ```

12288

```

Do not remain standing all the time

On possibility-platform.

Come down and shake hands

With the aspiration-fulfilment-seekers. ```

12289

```

If you do not believe

In God’s unconditional Compassion-Light,

Then in the inner world

You are undoubtedly an owner

Of useless nothingness.

```

12290

```

I want to monopolise

God’s Life.

God wants to monopolise

My heart.

Who knows who is going to win?

```

12291

```

Can God keep track

Of all His children?

Yes, He can.

He keeps track of all His children

Exactly the same way I keep track

Of all my countless desires! ```

12292

```

The hesitation-heart says to God:

“If I enter into You,

Your Vastness infinite may frighten me.

Therefore, I am hesitating.”

The reluctance-mind says to God:

“You may be supremely great,

But I can live without You.”

```

12293

```

Your mind is digging up

Its desire-ruins.

Therefore, your soul-beauty’s

Heart-flower is fading. ```

12294

```

Develop powerful oneness-light

To burst through the giant

Ignorance-night.

Try, you can do it!

Lo, you have done it!

```

12295

```

Nobody can

And nobody will ever be able to

Enter into God’s Heart-Door

Without his own heart’s purity-pass. ```

12296

```

If you have no devotion,

That means you do not have

Sweetness in your heart.

If you have no surrender,

That means you do not have

Fulness in your life. ```

12297

```

A single doubtful thought-wind

Is strong enough to capsize

Your heart’s cheerfulness-boat.

```

12298

```

If you have your heart’s

Hope-light,

Then God will give you His Eye’s

Promise-Light,

Without fail.

```

12299

```

I do not think

There is any human soul

Who has not suffered

From expectation-ailments. ```

12300

```

My Lord Supreme,

Even if You do not allow me

To claim You as my own,

Very own,

Do at least allow me

To place every day

My heart’s gratitude-blossoms

At Your Feet. ```
