Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 136

13501

```

The crystal Voice of my Inner Pilot

Is blessingfully granting my mind

A thought-free, perfect silence-dawn.

```

13502

```

My mind’s teeming doubts

Wanted to rival

My heart’s climbing aspiration.

But now my life’s realisation-tree

Has no rival.

```

13503

```

Every day,

Early in the morning,

We must sow the seeds of sincerity

In our mind-garden

And the seeds of purity

In our heart-garden. ```

13504

```

Now that you have

An open heart-surrender-policy,

You have automatically become

A supremely choice instrument of God. ```

13505

```

I do not think

That it will ever be possible

For you to illumine your entire life

With your on-and-off aspiration-switch. ```

13506

```

Spending a day in God’s company

Means drinking Nectar-Delight

For time unbounded.

```

13507

```

Man’s doubt-drenched mind

Destroys his life’s

Beauty-purity-heart.

```

13508

```

Where is the difference between

Your aspiration-evading mind

And your frustration-destruction-life?

```

13509

```

For many,

It is not merely difficult

But actually impossible

To bring back

Their gone-away aspiration-days.

```

13510

```

He who accepts each problem

As an opportunity

Is bound to become

The master of problems

Eventually.

```

13511

```

The mountain-top wisdom-light

Is never to be found

Inside the human mind.

It is found only

Inside the divine heart.

```

13512

```

There is no way

For you to do everything correctly

Unless and until

You beg your soul-captain

To be in full command of your life.

```

13513

```

Always try to swim

In the river of hope.

Once you give up swimming,

You will be found immediately

At the feet of the despair-dictator.

```

13514

```

Only kind-hearted souls

Can properly forgive

The weight of man’s indifference-eyes.

```

13515

```

God did not even require you

To have a desire-door.

God certainly did not ask you

To keep it open

All the time.

```

13516

```

Why do you not admit the facts:

That you did everything

Foolishly and proudly

At your own risk? ```

13517

```

If you want to be really happy

And fulfil tomorrow’s dreams,

Then you must bury

Your past frustration-days. ```

13518

```

God will definitely console you

And illumine you

If your God-centred heart

Is ever misunderstood. ```

13519

```

In your inner life

You are so blind

That you do not see

What you actually do:

You prefer unhappiness-thorns

To happiness-flowers. ```

13520

```

You do not have to roam

From crisis to crisis

If you are ready to choose

God the Compassion

As your sole Captain for life.

```

13521

```

I see, I see!

What do I see?

I see every day

That God’s Justice-Light

Bows to God’s Compassion-Height

In my aspiration-empty life. ```

13522

```

When disappointment comes your way,

Remember that God will give you

Another chance

To sit for your life-examination. ```

13523

```

You are bound to accomplish things

Far beyond your imagination —

Things divine, illumining and fulfilling —

If you just learn how

To disown your unruly thought-world.

```

13524

```

Each time I go to see God,

He asks me only one thing:

“My son, have you brought Me

Some good news

For a change?”

```

13525

```

When my life becomes one with

My obedience-heart,

God shares with me His

Infinity’s immortal Secrets. ```

13526

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Grants a very long life

To my short-lived virtues.

```

13527

```

Frustration’s shackles bind us

When we climb down

From the aspiration-tree.

```

13528

```

Peace was

The first-born child of God.

Perfection will be

The last-born child of God. ```

13529

```

Perfection-mastery comes only

From the heart’s aspiration-cry

And the life’s dedication-smile.

```

13530

```

Your happiness-heart-flower

Will not fade

If you choose your soul-illumination

To guide you every day. ```

13531

```

Nothing succeeds as beautifully

And as powerfully

As our mountain-aspiration-cries

And our fountain-dedication-smiles. ```

13532

```

If you sleeplessly pray for the death

Of your mind’s ignorance-night,

Then God is bound to give you

His Heart’s everlasting Breath. ```

13533

```

A self-giving

And God-becoming heart

Is humanity’s peace-flooded home.

```

13534

```

God’s Compassion-Rain

And man’s aspiration-plants

Can together change the face and fate

Of fast-descending humanity. ```

13535

```

If your heart is flooded

With gratitude,

Then you can never fail to find

Your life’s perfection-summit-sun. ```

13536

```

The birth of ignorance-night

Nobody knows,

But the death of ignorance-night

Everybody is bound to know. ```

13537

```

My Lord, my Lord,

I humbly and soulfully pray to You

Not to stop

My life’s self-transcendence-pilgrimage. ```

13538

```

Every day

God enjoys reading

My heart’s aspiration-blossoming

Messages. ```

13539

```

No, not even the compassionate God,

Not to speak of human beings,

Will ever say a word

In defence of your heart’s insecurity! ```

13540

```

The sweetness

Of a purity-heart

Is immediately embraced

By the fondness

Of God’s Satisfaction-Eye.

```

13541

```

God does not see any urgency

In transforming your life.

Do you know why?

Just because you enjoy complacency

More than anything else in your life.

```

13542

```

No matter how undivine you are,

God wants you to look

Straight into His Eyes

So that His Compassion can enter into you

And transform your guilt-loaded life.

```

13543

```

To my wide surprise,

My heart is still in the lead

Although I have not fed my heart

For a long time. ```

13544

```

Do you know why

You are acting like a demon?

Because you daily enjoy listening

To your unlit mind’s

Wild sermons.

```

13545

```

My mind’s ignorance-imperfections

On earth

Can never blossom

Into a perfection-tree

In Heaven.

```

13546

```

The man of the past

Longed to tame ignorance.

The man of today

Overlooks ignorance.

The man of tomorrow

Shall powerfully dominate ignorance. ```

13547

```

Our oneness-surrender

To God’s Will

Is indeed a devastating blow

To impossibility. ```

13548

```

If you are eager to announce

The arrival of God

At your heart’s door,

Then denounce doubt

Once and for all

With your illumination-mind. ```

13549

```

No imperfection,

No matter how small it is,

Will forever remain hidden

From the eye of Time. ```

13550

```

My self-promotion

And God’s Love-Satisfaction

Are never to be found together.

```

13551

```

Insecurity, world-doubt,

Self-doubt and God-doubt

Live together

In the same unlit mind-cave. ```

13552

```

There is something most valuable

Missing from my aspiration-heart,

And that is my gratitude-joy.

```

13553

```

Now that I have escaped

From my mind’s captivity,

I am soulfully, spiritually,

Divinely and supremely awakened

To God-heights.

```

13554

```

The soul’s magnanimity

And the heart’s generosity

At every moment understand

The sufferings of humanity. ```

13555

```

Do not allow doubt

To challenge

The soulful utterances

Of your inner conviction. ```

13556

```

Your gratitude-heart

Will grant you enthusiasm

Either to illumine

Or to tame the mind. ```

13557

```

O my doubting mind,

A confusion-grave

Is awaiting

Your certain arrival. ```

13558

```

Each soulful thought

Is a rainbow-joy

That tries to transform

My suffering life. ```

13559

```

May my heart be

My daily aspiration-practice.

May my life be

My daily perfection-practice. ```

13560

```

Meditate, meditate!

You will see how easy it is

To swim against temptation-stream.

```

13561

```

My powerful concentration-eye

Is my ignorance-tiger-piercing spear.

My soulful meditation-heart

Is my world-transforming fragrance-garden. ```

13562

```

Oneness-heart-love

Can only be treasured

And can never be measured.

```

13563

```

If you do not improve yourself,

Who will take the trouble

Of transforming your life?

No, not even God! ```

13564

```

God will smilingly transform us

If we willingly tell God

That His Way is our way,

Our only way. ```

13565

```

If you live only in the mind

And never go beyond the mind,

Then you are bound to collide

With confusion-night. ```

13566

```

God has told me

That if I can be responsible

For my soulful heart,

Then He will be responsible

For my uncertain life.

```

13567

```

I prayed intensely

To change God’s Mind.

God meditated self-givingly

To change my heart. ```

13568

```

We doubt God precisely because

We have befriended our mind the doubter.

We believe in God precisely because

We see eye to eye with our heart the lover. ```

13569

```

O my hope-bird,

Although you are carrying me

Into the heart of the Unknown,

I love you and I treasure you. ```

13570

```

Man’s perfection

And God’s Satisfaction

Will someday, somehow, somewhere

Take place. ```

13571

```

You know the right way.

You are standing on the right road.

You are facing the right direction.

What can possibly be delaying

Your journey’s progress-march?

```

13572

```

My imperfections

Do not make you perfect.

Therefore, you have no reason to ridicule

My imperfections. ```

13573

```

My Lord, I do not want

To remain any more

An idler.

“In that case, My child,

I am making you

My Satisfaction-worker.”

```

13574

```

Without faith,

In both God and oneself,

How can one pass through

The black and starless ignorance-night? ```

13575

```

Confidence comes not from self-denial.

Confidence comes not from self-assertion.

Confidence comes from self-sacrifice

And self-perfection. ```

13576

```

How many human beings can take

God-Elevator to God-Height?

None, unless God’s Grace

Does the miracle of miracles. ```

13577

```

There are so many fragile things

Here on earth.

Hope is fragile,

Faith is fragile,

Gratitude is fragile,

To name a few. ```

13578

```

My heart’s morning dream

For God’s Happiness

Is unconditionally entering

Into my life. ```

13579

```

What can poor God do for you

If you choose every day

To knock at despair-door?

```

13580

```

There can be no time

Better than now

To please God

And be His choice instrument. ```

13581

```

You can surprise God

Not with your mind’s dissatisfaction

But with your heart’s satisfaction.

```

13582

```

What is human life, after all,

If not a constantly hopeless

And helpless effort

To climb the Everest-heights? ```

13583

```

If you are your mind’s

Careless God-search,

How can you be your heart’s

Breathless God-Satisfaction? ```

13584

```

When your heart is touched

By bitterness,

You are bound to miss

God’s Nearness. ```

13585

```

A high meditation is

A soulful, peaceful and natural

God-Beauty’s Heaven-Smile

In a seeker’s aspiration-heart. ```

13586

```

A sleepless devotion to God

Can give us a deathless heart-smile

To transform our unlit human mind.

```

13587

```

What can meditation do?

Meditation can do many things.

In your case, your meditation

Is determined to stop your vital

From resurrecting its long-dead frustrations.

```

13588

```

God-obedience

Is nothing other than happiness.

Happiness

Is nothing other than our inner progress.

Our inner progress

God not only appreciates but also treasures. ```

13589

```

If you will regularly use

Your surrender-prayers,

Then God will turn your life

Into His Satisfaction-Tower. ```

13590

```

God-realisation is not a race.

It is a spontaneous revelation

Of the inner face.

```

13591

```

O my heart’s insecurity,

When will you realise

That you are my life’s

Worst possible troublemaker? ```

13592

```

To be a lifelong citizen of Heaven,

I must be my heart’s

Oneness-joy and fulness-satisfaction.

```

13593

```

O my stupidity-mind,

Can you not see

That your manufactured illusion-world

Is crumbling day by day? ```

13594

```

God is counting on

My mind-progress,

For therein plays

His own Victory-Trumpet. ```

13595

```

Cultivate, cultivate

Your heart’s oneness-peace-garden.

Lo, God Himself is announcing

Your victory over world-division. ```

13596

```

If you hesitate,

Your heart’s God-realisation-promise

And your life’s God-manifestation-promise

Will never reach

God’s Dream-fulfilled Perfection-Palace.

```

13597

```

When your heart grows into

A glowing lamp,

It will illumine your mind’s

Cloudy road. ```

13598

```

If you are afraid of climbing up

Your inner Himalayan heights,

You cannot be a member

Of God’s ever-expanding love-society. ```

13599

```

What humanity needs at every moment

Is the pure breath

Of an illumining and fulfilling

Forgiveness-heart. ```

13600

```

My heart’s prayer-whisper to God:

“My Lord, do increase the fragrance

Of my purity-heart-flower

Every day, every hour,

Every minute, every second.”
