Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 143

14201

```

When I live in my heart,

God tells me

That it is my first and foremost chance

To love and be loved by Him.

When I live in my mind,

God tells me

That it is my very last chance

To love Him. ```

14202

```

Do not waste your time

Looking for a truth-home

Inside your mind.

Your heart-home is surcharged

With peace.

Remain therein always! ```

14203

```

Each spiritual mistake

Is followed

By destruction-demand

From the world of ignorance. ```

14204

```

Everyone has missed the God-alarm,

Including my heart.

My soul is the only one

That has not missed

The God-alarm

And I am sure that

My soul will never miss it.

```

14205

```

Heaven is not my permanent home.

Earth is not my permanent home.

My permanent home is

My Lord’s Compassion-Feet. ```

14206

```

As there is no

Heart-aspiration-contest,

Even so, there is no

And there can be no

God-realisation-contest.

```

14207

```

God’s Greatness is loved

By the possession-loving mind.

God’s Goodness is treasured

By the liberation-loving heart. ```

14208

```

When a seeker is suffering

From Compassion-shortage,

His life will eventually become

A sorrowful, fruitless failure-cry. ```

14209

```

If you allow yourself to be attacked

By a swarm of uncomely thoughts,

God will not grant you

His Heart-Guest-Room. ```

14210

```

Every day God helps us

Lessen our mind’s

Untold destruction-miseries.

```

14211

```

The human mind secretly loves

To read forbidden

Insecurity-impurity-insincerity-stories.

```

14212

```

Who knows where God is?

Who cares for God after all?

In the future these two questions

Will not be asked

By earth’s aspiration-cry.

```

14213

```

Alas,

You do not have the time

To see your heart’s sunrise,

But you have all the time

To see others’ sunset.

```

14214

```

We do not know

Where we are heading,

But we do know

That God’s Compassion-Forgiveness

Will follow us.

```

14215

```

A satisfaction-heart

Is the best

Life-acceleration-smile.

```

14216

```

From whose point of view

Is God unmindful?

You may treasure your proud opinion,

But from my point of view

God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Are perfect earth-transformation-guarantors.

```

14217

```

God’s Compassion

Forgives us.

God’s Justice

Illumines us. ```

14218

```

Do you want to know

What you should do

With your ignorance?

Just ignore it!

Do you want to know

What you should do

With your sadness-heart?

Just quench its inner thirst

And feed its inner hunger

Lovingly and unconditionally! ```

14219

```

Earth does not need

A world-shaking warrior.

But earth does need

A world-consoling liberator. ```

14220

```

You are a stark fool

If you think

Your wrongdoings

Will not eventually haunt you. ```

14221

```

How long will you remain

In your fear-frozen life?

When will you long for

God’s Oneness-Love-Heart? ```

14222

```

Just for once,

Can you not have faith

In God’s Compassion-Eye?

Just for once,

Can you not love God

For God’s sake? ```

14223

```

Much have I thought.

Much have I said.

But alas,

Little have I done

And little have I become.

```

14224

```

My mind,

When will you stop playing

With your same old toys:

Insecurity, insincerity and impurity? ```

14225

```

I have decided

That I shall always remain

As beautiful and soulful

As my heart’s faith-plant. ```

14226

```

I can never convince my mind

That its false friends —

Arrogance, jealousy and pride —

Are its unthinkable

And unchangeable foes.

```

14227

```

Be conscious within.

Be conscious without.

Stop at every moment

Your mind’s ignorance-interruptions. ```

14228

```

What you call

Your heart’s aspiration,

God affectionately calls

Your life’s real contribution. ```

14229

```

If you want to be

Divinely happy,

Then you must station yourself

Far beyond sound-sight-territories. ```

14230

```

Heart’s aspiration-path

And life’s surrender-path:

These two paths are protected

By God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

14231

```

Do you want to talk

To angels every day?

If so,

Lighten your mind,

Heighten your heart

And enlighten your life. ```

14232

```

What is human life

If not something composed

Of fragile dreams?

What is divine life

If not God’s

Manifestation-seeking Vision? ```

14233

```

You do not need

An outer guide

So long as you have

Your heart’s mounting cry

As your inner guide.

```

14234

```

He who compassionately tolerates

Frustration-volcano

Is indeed a superior soul.

```

14235

```

By running away,

Nobody can ever escape from

Life’s serious and endless problems.

```

14236

```

What you need

Is a new vision of truth.

What you need

Is a new love of God.

This you can have

Only when you are able

To draw on your heart’s

Silence-reservoir. ```

14237

```

What can poor God do?

Humanity’s arrogance-disgrace-mind

Does not allow God to erase it!

```

14238

```

We are all lovers

Of opportunity,

But not fighters

Against calamity. ```

14239

```

To love God soulfully

Is difficult,

But to serve God sleeplessly

Is infinitely more difficult. ```

14240

```

God is never tired of

Giving the same message

Over and over again to humanity:

Never give up! ```

14241

```

Temptation and frustration

Know how to play well

Their favourite game:

Hide-and-seek. ```

14242

```

God does not blame me

For not working hard

For earth-transformation,

The world does not blame me either.

But I do blame myself vehemently

For not being an earth-transformer. ```

14243

```

Who is responsible

For the world’s incurable flaw-diseases

If it is not you, not he?

Alas, doubtless I am the

Helpless culprit.

```

14244

```

God does not particularly care

For man’s success-sound.

Man definitely does not care

For God’s Progress-Whisper. ```

14245

```

If we think that God’s Justice-Light

Wants us as badly

As God’s Compassion-Height needs us,

Then we are obviously enjoying

Self-delusion.

```

14246

```

Freedom-fighters and

Tolerance-builders

Must always sail

In the same boat. ```

14247

```

If you see darkness-night

Here, there and everywhere,

It is because even by mistake

You do not give God

The right of way.

```

14248

```

If you continue doing

Your silence-meditation daily,

God will definitely strengthen

Your inner life-muscles. ```

14249

```

Each good thought

Can eventually be blessed

With two flying wings:

Surrender-flower

And gratitude-fragrance.

```

14250

```

Beautiful

Is the earth-illumining song

Of my heart.

Fruitful

Is the life-transforming dance

Of my soul. ```

14251

```

Intensify

Your God-satisfying hunger-cry

To be a conscious partner

Of God’s Vision transcendental. ```

14252

```

Ambition-success

Wants to be visible and tangible.

Aspiration-progress

Wishes to be unnoticed and unacclaimed. ```

14253

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That you can do anything

You want to do with your life,

Except one thing:

Do not cover your heart’s gratitude-sun.

```

14254

```

Is there any human being on earth

Who has never experienced

Incredible self-indulgence-capacity?

```

14255

```

Smooth sailing

On obedience-ocean

My heart is learning

From my soul. ```

14256

```

Today I am most powerfully

And most convincingly

Putting an end to my mind’s

Excessive devotion to reason. ```

14257

```

Alas, alas!

Today is another day for me

Without a glimpse

Of my Lord’s Compassion-Smile. ```

14258

```

I shall never allow

My searching mind

To be stung

By the outer world’s scorpion-doubt. ```

14259

```

If you do not have a searching mind,

If you do not have a climbing heart,

Then your life will be forced to descend

Into the confusion-spiral. ```

14260

```

My soul was shocked to notice

That my heart’s sorrowful sigh

Could be so devastating.

```

14261

```

Can you not see

That God is in a special mood

To speak to you?

Immediately start listening to Him! ```

14262

```

My life’s transcendence

Is indeed God’s transcendence

For His complete manifestation

On earth. ```

14263

```

Every day

Our body, vital, mind and heart

Are being transformed automatically.

But if we want our heart, mind,

vital and body

To be transformed devotedly,

Soulfully and unconditionally

In God’s own Way,

We must place our earth-bound cry

And Heaven-free smile

At every moment

At the Feet of our Beloved Lord Supreme. ```

14264

```

Every day

God starts a cry-change

In my aspiration-life.

But alas, I do not have

The heart-eye to see it.

```

14265

```

O earth,

You may not believe it,

O Heaven,

You may not believe it,

But my Lord told me this morning

That I am making satisfactory progress

Just by intensifying my heart-cry.

```

14266

```

Every morning,

Compassionately plus pitifully,

My Lord Supreme begs me

To empty my sordid mind-room. ```

14267

```

Do you know who is preparing

God’s Peace-Sun-Arrival

Here on earth?

Definitely not my desire-life,

But my heart’s sleeplessly mounting

Aspiration-cry. ```

14268

```

In silence supreme

Every morning

I see the golden sunrise

Of my inner perfection-beauty. ```

14269

```

Beautiful

Is my aspiration-life.

Powerful

Is my dedication-life.

Fruitful

Is my surrender-life. ```

14270

```

The quiet voice

Of my patience-heart

Every day is proudly fed

By my Lord Supreme. ```

14271

```

My Lord Supreme

Is extremely fond of the music

Of my sweetness-flooded

Surrender-soul. ```

14272

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme

Is celebrating today

The sunset of my desire-life.

```

14273

```

My Lord Supreme,

No matter where I go,

I see Your two most powerful

Forgiveness-Shelter-Wings. ```

14274

```

My Beloved Supreme,

I know, I know,

That my life will remain

Meaningless, fruitless and useless

Until I have sung

Your Eternity’s, Infinity’s

And Immortality’s

Victory-Songs on earth. ```

14275

```

Alas, he has an aversion

To a slow and steady heart-progress,

But he has no aversion

To a fast and harmful mind-success. ```

14276

```

O seeker,

If you cannot capture

God’s Compassion-Eye,

Try at least to capture God’s

Forgiveness-Heart.

```

14277

```

God is willing to meet you,

But not in a secret place.

He wants to meet you

On your life’s highway. ```

14278

```

Perfection-shore is indeed

A new frontier

For each and every

Truth-seeker and God-lover. ```

14279

```

Your devotion is full of commotion.

Therefore, God does not want

To ruin His most precious Ears

By listening to you. ```

14280

```

It is not true

That God has not created

Any human being

Without a tearful and painful sigh. ```

14281

```

My long-treasured depression-friend

And I

Have cleverly and forcefully

Put God to sleep. ```

14282

```

God the Creator finds it difficult

To tolerate me.

But God the creation

Not only tolerates me

But also tells me

That He will wait throughout Eternity

For wisdom-sun to dawn in my heart.

```

14283

```

Stand upon surrender-mountain.

Lo, the governor of your life

Has become the love within your heart.

```

14284

```

I asked God

If His Compassion-Eye

Was only for my imperfection-life.

God said to me:

“Definitely My Compassion-Eye

Is for your imperfection-life.

Also, My Compassion-Eye

Is for the acceleration

Of your soul’s Heavenward speed.”

```

14285

```

O seeker,

Right now you do not need

A huge Everest-experience.

What you need is

A tiny, self-giving thought.

```

14286

```

Are you searching for my mind

Or are you searching for my heart?

If you are searching for my mind,

You will never be able to find it.

If you are searching for my heart,

Lo and behold, it is there

Right in front of you!

```

14287

```

Quite often

Ignorance-night compels me to utter:

“God does not love me!”

“God does not need me!” ```

14288

```

O seeker,

Do you want to use your mind

To retaliate,

Or do you want to use your heart

To radiate?

Make your choice immediately. ```

14289

```

No matter how strong you are,

If it is not God’s Will,

You will not be able to ring

God’s Heart-Doorbell.

No matter how weak you are,

If it is God’s Will,

You will easily be able to ring

God’s Heart-Doorbell. ```

14290

```

Every morning God comes to me

And helps me weed

My mind’s thought-garden.

```

14291

```

I am ready to fight

With the omnipotent God.

But a single tear

Of the compassionate God

Can easily destroy my life,

Inner and outer. ```

14292

```

You have simply no idea

How soulful, beautiful and fruitful

Your heart’s ecstasy-cry is.

```

14293

```

It is good to know,

Both from Heaven and from earth,

That although God can live

Without me,

He prefers not only to live

With me

But also to live for me.

```

14294

```

How can you hear

Your aspiration-alarm-clock ringing

If you are not at all serious

In your aspiration-heart

And your dedication-life?

```

14295

```

Do you want to live longer

Or do you want to become

A God-lover?

If you want to become

A God-lover,

Then come and take service from me.

If you want to live longer,

Just tell death to postpone

Your Heaven-arrival!

```

14296

```

To me,

Desire is as young

As the mind of man

And aspiration is as old

As the heart of man.

```

14297

```

An insecurity-mind

Is, alas, condemned

To be a prisoner of itself.

```

14298

```

The future world

Will not belong

To the world-fighters

But to the God-dreamers only. ```

14299

```

The delay in your

Unconditional surrender

Is the final barrier

Between you and God. ```

14300

```

Illumine your mind’s

Ignorance-night.

Lo, your life-dreams are flying

In God’s Heart-Sky! ```
