Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 124

12301

```

Every day

Become your heart’s purity-cry

To fly into the Heaven-ascending glow

Of your God-Satisfaction-Delight. ```

12302

```

My poor God is utterly embarrassed

To show me

His daily disappointment-list.

Alas, I too am included on it. ```

12303

```

How can a desire-bound life

Ever be released

From the deathless spell

Of insecurity? ```

12304

```

An undisciplined life

Loves only one thing:

Excursions into a madness-wilderness.

```

12305

```

When my heart’s inner cry

Is soulfully increasing,

It means my life’s perfection-smile

Is definitely progressing. ```

12306

```

To my seeker-heart’s great joy,

All the activities in my mind’s

Doubt-department

Are amazingly slowing down. ```

12307

```

My heart, cry!

Cry only for God’s Love

So that your earthly years

Will not be filled

With insecurity-tears.

```

12308

```

There can be no perfection

In your life

If you are not unshakeable

In your aspiration-devotion

To God.

```

12309

```

Because you do not have

A purity-oneness-heart,

You and your mind live

In yesterday’s scepticism

And today’s suspicion.

```

12310

```

Three things of mine

I daily treasure:

My obedience-mind,

My gratitude-heart

And my surrender-life.

```

12311

```

Each and every doubt-challenge

Of my mind

Will eventually surrender

To my heart’s faith,

I know, I know.

```

12312

```

In your soul I see

Your mind’s sincerity-cry.

In your soul I see

Your heart’s enthusiasm-smile.

In your soul I see

God the Universal Life-Transformer. ```

12313

```

Victory is assured

Only when my life’s

Surrender-action is completed.

```

12314

```

Because you are no longer

A God-lover,

You will soon fall victim

To the torrential tide

Of frustration.

```

12315

```

My Lord is always

Ready and eager to grant me

An amazing capacity to aspire.

But, alas, where is my willingness

To receive?

```

12316

```

If you can live

In your heart-garden,

Then you are bound to enjoy

The sweet silence of your soul-bird. ```

12317

```

My Lord Supreme

Is begging me

To do Him a big favour.

He is begging me not to think

Of my misspent

Ignorance-darkness-life. ```

12318

```

If your heart’s

Soulful cheerfulness prevails,

Then no human being on earth

Will dare to say that

Your life is of no avail.

```

12319

```

The tranquillity of his heart-sea

Gladly welcomes and embraces

The roaring of his vital-river.

```

12320

```

I do not know

How your heart-flower can ever blossom

If you indefinitely postpone

The God-Hour. ```

12321

```

Right before me

Is my mind’s ego-elephant.

Deep within me

Is my heart’s oneness-ant. ```

12322

```

Yesterday I was

My problem-maker-mind.

Today I am

My problem-solver-heart.

Tomorrow I shall become

My God-fulfiller-soul. ```

12323

```

An historic pact

Between Heaven and earth:

Earth will soulfully think

Of Heaven every day.

Heaven will no longer be

Indifferent to earth. ```

12324

```

A summit meeting of God-loving

And God-serving souls

God’s Vision-Eye

And Compassion-Heart

Will lovingly and secretly watch.

```

12325

```

Alas,

Why do I cleverly forget

That I embody

Decades of disappointment

For my God-manifesting soul?

```

12326

```

Do you really want to be happy?

If so, then throw away

Your mind’s poison-reason.

```

12327

```

No more compassion-light!

No more forgiveness-height!

His soul is now threatening

To banish his doubting mind. ```

12328

```

At least three times a day

I make a pilgrimage

To my hallowed heart-temple

To be compassionately

And powerfully blessed

By my Inner Pilot Supreme. ```

12329

```

Do you not know

That your desire-urge

Has guided you into

The bottomless despair-abyss? ```

12330

```

Each oneness-love-flame

Is a transcendental Gift

From the Absolute Supreme.

```

12331

```

The human heart has much training

In anticipation-sweetness,

And the human mind has much training

In complaint-bitterness. ```

12332

```

You enjoy your mind’s

Bombardment by dark doubts.

Yet you expect your mind

To be a sea of silence-joy. ```

12333

```

A victim of spiritual starvation

You have become

Just because you do not invoke

God’s all-nourishing Compassion-Heart. ```

12334

```

With hope-stars I shall illumine

My dark and unlit mind-sky.

Indeed, this has been

My only long-cherished dream. ```

12335

```

Escape from the nightmare

Of negativity.

You will see

Your mind of purity,

And you will become

Your heart of divinity. ```

12336

```

The wild arrogance

Of a self-styled seeker

I can never forgive

Even when I want to. ```

12337

```

I do not remember anything

About God’s Promise to me.

But I do remember

That I promised God

To become an unwavering faith-flame

In Him. ```

12338

```

Offer your gratitude-heart

To God.

You are bound to get

Unexpected benefit-boons. ```

12339

```

God will grant you

Your fulness-satisfaction-wish

If you give God

Your oneness-dedication-heart. ```

12340

```

Wake up, my mind!

Delay not!

Sign up with God’s

Perfection-Oneness-Troop. ```

12341

```

The first question

On your God-realisation-examination:

How far do you think you are

Away from God? ```

12342

```

There will be an investigation

By God’s Secret Service

To see if you really have made

Your aspiration-comeback. ```

12343

```

Ego-elephant

And dedication-ant:

This is what you have been

For a long time! ```

12344

```

God is giving you a sacred tour

Of His Heart-Garden

Because today is your heart’s

Gratitude-anniversary. ```

12345

```

God’s private forecast

For man’s evolution:

A slow progress,

A slower perfection

And the slowest, slowest

Satisfaction. ```

12346

```

My faith-heart will eventually

Outrun my doubt-mind

Because I was born

Under God’s Compassion-Star. ```

12347

```

His life is caught

In a failure-chain

Because his heart owns only

A frail and fragile faith. ```

12348

```

Paralysed by hesitation,

How can you become

A member of God’s Happiness-Home?

```

12349

```

By sheer force of will-power

You can easily escape

From your ego-boundaries.

```

12350

```

The greatest scandal of the age:

Each human being is swimming

Cheerfully and speedily

With the ignorance-tide. ```

12351

```

What can you expect

From the worry-factory

Since the suspicion-mind

Has always been its boss? ```

12352

```

How to go beyond

Doubt-boundaries?

Just ride your heart’s

Indomitable aspiration-chariot! ```

12353

```

God commands earth’s

Aspiration-troops

To brave the old and unwilling

Lethargy-world. ```

12354

```

No exchange rate

For doubt-currency

In the heart’s

Aspiration-country. ```

12355

```

He who declares,

“Here and now!”

Is God’s favourite

In the self-realisation-race. ```

12356

```

Alas, when will the mind

Beg the heart for advice?

Alas, when will the heart

Have infinite patience

For the mind?

```

12357

```

O my seeker-friend,

For maximum heart-satisfaction

Use minimum mind-confusion.

```

12358

```

In his case

Not even sixty seconds

Is the average life span

Of an inspiring thought. ```

12359

```

A quick course in self-control

Will grant you

An abiding satisfaction-heart.

```

12360

```

To maintain

Your hard-earned poise

Never enjoy

Aspiration-vacation. ```

12361

```

God asks you to do

Only one thing:

Not to allow doubt the hijacker

To board your heart’s

Aspiration-flight.

```

12362

```

You are your mind’s

Sporadic attempts

At self-discipline.

How can you then expect

Perfection in your life?

```

12363

```

Do not slip backwards

Into the darkness-night

If you want your life to be

Bright with promise-stars. ```

12364

```

Heart’s music and life’s songs

Will mingle

Only when you fly

With your aspiration-dedication-wings. ```

12365

```

I am now all ready

To wing my mystic flight

To the future worlds

Of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss

Infinite.

```

12366

```

If you sever

Your long-distance line to God

Once more,

You will be permanently found

In your life’s lethargy-lounge.

```

12367

```

A constant battle

Between the heart’s faith

And the mind’s doubt:

Alas, this is what

Poor human life is.

```

12368

```

If you do not break out

Of your ego-boundaries,

Then you will soon grow into

Your own pyramid of catastrophes. ```

12369

```

Once you lost your simplicity-mind,

You never found it again.

Once you lost your purity-heart,

You never found it again.

Once you lost your oneness-life,

You never found it again.

Once you found God’s

Unconditional Compassion-Eye,

You never lost it again.

```

12370

```

I do not need a mind

Of balloon-thoughts.

What I need is a life

Of Himalayan ideals. ```

12371

```

God has made you

A fruitful knower of His Heart

Because you are

A soulful server of man. ```

12372

```

When you are your life’s

Ignorance-confession,

God becomes His Heart’s

Forgiveness-Benediction. ```

12373

```

Because of your present strong attachment

To ignorance-life,

Your past aspiration-heart

Is now a battered rainbow-dream. ```

12374

```

Move out of suspicion-slums

If you want to enjoy

The breath of nectar-air-energy.

```

12375

```

You have liberated yourself

From the desire-life.

Therefore, God has cast His complete

Satisfaction-Eye on you. ```

12376

```

God’s request:

“My child, please please Me.”

Man’s request:

“God, please please me first!” ```

12377

```

Be always good

To all those you love.

That unquestionably

Includes God. ```

12378

```

If you are befriended

By aspiration-heart

And dedication-life,

Then God will grant you

Your happiness-harvest.

```

12379

```

O my mind,

I shall no longer house you

With your useless

Amplified worries. ```

12380

```

My only prayer

To my Lord Supreme

Is to help me stop playing

The endless soundtrack

Of thoughts.

```

12381

```

My joy knows no bounds today,

For my heart’s aspiration-cry

Is chasing my mind’s

Confusion-chaos. ```

12382

```

Because my Lord

Is His Compassion-Satisfaction-Eye,

I am my heart’s

Aspiration-mounting cry. ```

12383

```

My frustrations tell God,

“Lord, why have You deserted me?”

God tells my frustrations,

“Your false accusations

Are not acceptable!

When did you need Me?

When did you invoke Me?”

```

12384

```

My mind enjoys the revolving door

Of self-enlargement.

My heart adores the revolving door

Of God-enjoyment. ```

12385

```

I am a sleepless faith-lover.

Therefore,

I shall, without fail,

Leave the doubt-followers

Behind.

```

12386

```

Whenever I love my desire-mind,

I am immediately forced to participate

In the round-robin tournament

Of ruthless self-torture. ```

12387

```

Heaven-soaring hearts

Are always

God’s blessingful and fruitful

Smiles. ```

12388

```

If you want to resist some things,

Resist by all means.

But do not resist

Your aspiration-life’s

Dedication-beauty.

```

12389

```

You call it

Your attachment.

I call it

Your imprisonment.

God calls it

Your forced enlightenment. ```

12390

```

Hide anything you want to,

Save and except

Your heart’s beauty,

Your life’s duty

And your perfection-hungry divinity.

```

12391

```

You can enjoy

The fruits of faith

If your mind’s humility dawns.

```

12392

```

If you can lift your life

Out of selfishness-night,

God is bound to grant you

His powerful Heart’s

Satisfaction-Light.

```

12393

```

My soul’s silence-delight

Every day multiplies

My heart’s God-service-faith.

```

12394

```

My aspiration-boat

Has never used

The dark black doubt-sails.

```

12395

```

He who does not daily aspire

Often holds a powerful grudge

Against the merciful God.

```

12396

```

For you

There can be no doom

Because every day

Your heart’s purity-smile blooms. ```

12397

```

You are your mind’s uncertainty.

Therefore

Your mind’s connection with God

Is as fragile as an eggshell. ```

12398

```

Nobody can dare

Prevent you from feasting

Either on self-pity

Or on God-Satisfaction. ```

12399

```

Your life is enjoying

Perfection-satisfaction

Precisely because your mind

Is a stranger to expectation. ```

12400

```

May each prayer-breath

Of my life

Be a whisper of gratitude

To my Absolute Lord Supreme. ```
