Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 156

15501

```

To be lifted

By the Compassion-Forgiveness-Heart

Of my Lord Supreme,

I must increase

Consciously, soulfully and sleeplessly

The breath of my gratitude-heart. ```

15502

```

It is so painful

That God,

The Author of all Good,

Is still not acknowledged

By His entire creation!

```

15503

```

To recover from ignorance-night,

Make friends with wisdom-light

Consciously, sleeplessly

And self-givingly. ```

15504

```

Each time we embody

A soulful thought in our mind,

We ignite

A beautiful and powerful wisdom-flame. ```

15505

```

The deeper we dive

With our crying heart,

The higher we fly

With our smiling eye. ```

15506

```

If you want success

From your life,

Then pray and pray

Like a helpless orphan.

If you want progress

From your life,

Then meditate and meditate

Like a self-purifying saint. ```

15507

```

Thoughts that fight against age,

I need.

Thoughts that fight against imperfection,

I need.

Thoughts that fight against

God’s Satisfaction-Smile on earth,

I do not need,

I do not need! ```

15508

```

Ultimately,

Only God’s Compassion-Eye

Can cure us

From our centuries-old

Ignorance-life.

```

15509

```

The absence of inspiration today,

Tomorrow will be

The absence of aspiration,

And the day after, it will be

The absence of dedication.

No sincere seeker’s soul

Can do without

Inspiration-mind,

Aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

15510

```

If there is no willingness

In your life’s

God-manifestation-responsibility,

Then your life is

Meaningless, worthless and useless.

```

15511

```

From a smaller-than-the-smallest

Impure thought,

An ignorance-giant can grow

Until it challenges the whole world. ```

15512

```

Each purity-breath

Leads us

To an all-illumining

And all-fulfilling horizon. ```

15513

```

We must soulfully

And gratefully accept

Each aspiration-flame

From the God-realisation-sun. ```

15514

```

The outer action

Without the inner joy

Will invariably lack

The life-fulfilling breath. ```

15515

```

The play of ignorance-night

Cannot, will not

And must not

Run for a long time. ```

15516

```

Who is extending and expanding

Our mind’s ignorance-castle?

Not God the Compassion

But our desire-prince. ```

15517

```

Look up soulfully.

Dive deep prayerfully.

There is boundless joy,

And you can have it

For the asking.

```

15518

```

There are millions of ways

To satisfy God.

But God wants each of us

To choose only one way

To satisfy Him.

I have chosen

The unconditional life-surrender-way.

```

15519

```

At last

I have turned my mind

In a new direction

Where I can see that there is nothing

That cannot be done

To please God and fulfil God,

And thus to please myself

Truly and unmistakably. ```

15520

```

Truth-seekers

And self-givers

Are always in short supply.

```

15521

```

My mind,

Since you love to challenge,

Can you do me a favour?

Can you challenge

Your own ignorance-pride?

How I wish you could challenge

Your ignorance-pride

And show me your victory’s crown. ```

15522

```

With my heart’s soulful hopes

I am climbing up

Eternity’s compassion-flooded

Self-giving-tree. ```

15523

```

Is there any mind-jungle

With no doubt-tiger?

No!

There can be no mind-jungle

In any part of the world

Where doubt-tiger

Is not found.

```

15524

```

My heart’s happiness-bird

Soars

As soon as it hears

A word about God. ```

15525

```

God wants you to be proud,

Extremely proud,

Of hoisting your God-oneness-banner.

```

15526

```

There is only one way

To conquer your ego

And that way

Is to serve it aspiration-meals

With your humility-eyes,

Humility-mind and humility-heart. ```

15527

```

There was a time

When I prayed to God

To be a universal monarch.

But now I am praying to God

To be a universal server.

```

15528

```

Each good thought

And each good feeling

Help to decorate

Our heart-haven-room. ```

15529

```

God is extremely pleased

With his heart.

Therefore, God has placed on his head

God’s divine Satisfaction-Crown. ```

15530

```

Do not neglect

Your aspiration-heart,

And do not neglect

Your dedication-life.

God is not going to wait for you

Endlessly!

When the God-Hour strikes,

You will find yourself

In the company

Of most deplorable failures. ```

15531

```

God’s indifference-life-story

Is invented and written by man,

And nobody else.

```

15532

```

You have fractured

Your heart’s aspiration-life

By making friends with

Your mind’s undying doubt-life. ```

15533

```

An uncertainty-life

Certainly leads us

To a frustration-destination.

```

15534

```

My heart’s gratitude-sunrise

Has cleared away

My mind’s thunderstorms.

```

15535

```

If you do not revive

Your interest in God once more,

Your life’s failure-cry

Will be helpless,

Hopeless and incurable.

```

15536

```

My Lord,

Please do me a big favour.

I need you in my life-illumining dreams

More than anywhere else in my life. ```

15537

```

To expedite your God-realisation-journey

You must take full advantage

Of every opportunity

That knocks at your heart-door. ```

15538

```

A sincerity-cry

Is the result

Of my year-round determination.

```

15539

```

To be

A world-class inner player,

Be a cheerful self-giver.

```

15540

```

God wants me

To keep Him up-to-date

With my sorrowful stories

Of the outer world

And my cheerful stories

Of the inner world. ```

15541

```

If you see a genuine peace-lover,

Then you are bound to see

A world-illumining face.

```

15542

```

His new-found shelter

Is inside his aspiration-heart

And no longer

In his division-mind. ```

15543

```

Each sincere confession

Feeds and strengthens our inner urge

To pray for our nature’s transformation

And our life’s satisfaction. ```

15544

```

The fragile mind-doubt

Is bound to be shattered

When the abiding peace-eye

Looks at it. ```

15545

```

An obscure mind

And murky thoughts:

These are the real impediments

On our way to the Golden Shore. ```

15546

```

The love of God

Is not and cannot be

My choice.

It is undoubtedly

His Choice

Operating in and through me. ```

15547

```

Every day

My Lord descends

Into my gratitude-heart

To purify and intensify it. ```

15548

```

You can forget

All other prayers

If you want to,

But do not forget

Your God-Forgiveness-prayer.

```

15549

```

This morning

God came to see you.

To His extreme sorrow,

He saw your world-devouring mind

And not your self-giving heart.

```

15550

```

Even God cries loudly

When He sees that humanity’s desire-hunger

Is increasing enormously

Every day. ```

15551

```

God may forgive

My undivine deeds.

Even my soul may forgive

My misdeeds,

But I don’t think I shall be able

To forgive them,

When my aspiration-hunger-eagerness

Is intensified. ```

15552

```

Remember the real reason

Why God’s Compassion-Eye has left you.

His Compassion-Eye has left you

Only because

You have allowed your mind

To desert your gratitude-heart. ```

15553

```

Hope-flowers

Do descend from Above.

But unfortunately,

We do not treasure them.

Alas, we do not even value them.

```

15554

```

What I badly need

Is my ancient heart

Of aspiration-flames

To see the divine beauty

Of my God-oneness-life.

```

15555

```

My soul sang most powerfully

When my mind was fully awakened

To receive God’s Light.

```

15556

```

The truth,

As I heard it then,

Was different from now.

God was supposed to come to me, then;

Now, I am supposed to go to Him.

```

15557

```

If you want to see

The beauty of Heaven,

Then use God’s Eye.

If you want to see

The patience of earth,

Then use God’s Heart. ```

15558

```

What your heart needs

Is a gentle, mild and delicate Touch

From the Compassion-Eye of God

To revive its sleepless aspiration-hunger. ```

15559

```

O God, save me!

Save me from the strangling rope

Of my own insecurity,

Anxiety and impurity. ```

15560

```

O my Lord Supreme,

May my mind become

Another obedience-angel,

Like my heart-angel. ```

15561

```

My fond memories

Of my Lord Supreme in Heaven

Are still vivid.

And it is these memories

That are sources of inspiration,

Aspiration and dedication-progress. ```

15562

```

If there is no devotion

In your meditation,

Then your meditation

Will not be able to reach

The perfection-height.

```

15563

```

Be a good inner runner.

You will be able to run away

From temptation-attacks

Easily, effectively and bravely. ```

15564

```

When God saw

My aspiration-sunset,

He cried and cried

Like a helpless child. ```

15565

```

It is not an uncommon reality.

God-representatives and Heaven-messengers

Are quite often badly misunderstood

By humanity’s unlit mind. ```

15566

```

When my soul

Does something great for me

And I want to reward my soul,

My soul smilingly says,

“I don’t need it!”

When my heart

Does something great for me

And I want to reward my heart,

My heart says,

“I don’t expect it!”

When my mind

Does something great for me

And I want to reward my mind,

My mind takes the reward

And immediately demands something more.

```

15567

```

Alas!

My dark attachment-life

Has entangled my purity-longing

And world-oneness-longing heart. ```

15568

```

True, my past life

Did not surrender to God

And my present life

Is reluctant to surrender to God.

But my future life

Will not only surrender to God

But also promote God-Peace, God-Light

And God-Delight on earth. ```

15569

```

Your heart’s gratitude-songs

Are so faint

That, sadly,

God fails to hear them. ```

15570

```

When my mind enjoys

Doubt-fiction,

My Lord Supreme gets irritated

And quickly disappears. ```

15571

```

If there is no enthusiasm

In your mind’s God-search,

If there is no intensity

In your heart’s surrender-life to God,

Then God-realisation will definitely remain

A far cry. ```

15572

```

When God sees my life of love

And my heart of gratitude,

He feels that His Manifestation-Dream

Is worth continuing. ```

15573

```

If your mind forgets to value God’s Love,

Then you are bound to lose it, someday,

Perhaps forever.

```

15574

```

God’s Compassion

Comes to inspect

My aspiration-start.

God’s Compassion and God’s Pride

Come to inspect

My realisation-goal.

```

15575

```

Only the willingness-mind

And the soulfulness-heart

Are considered to be God’s great warriors

To fight against ignorance-titan

On earth.

```

15576

```

Your doubtful mind

And fearful heart

Are taking you away

From God’s Compassion-Heart-Nest. ```

15577

```

I need my heart’s streaming tears

To see the full Beauty

And full Divinity

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

15578

```

It is said

That everything is possible.

Today I have got

Firsthand proof of it.

My doubting mind

Has completely surrendered

To my God-loving and God-adoring heart.

```

15579

```

With a positive mind

And a positive heart

We are all expected

To play the game

Of world-harmony.

```

15580

```

When I place my head

At God’s Compassion-Forgiveness-Feet,

He immediately gives me back

My heart’s rainbow-smile. ```

15581

```

Humanity

And humanity’s stupendous

Stupidity-mind

Have made it impossible for God to see

In this world

His Vision’s hope-plants. ```

15582

```

My soul every day

Breathes in the secret breath

Of my heart’s sacred

God-manifestation-promise. ```

15583

```

God-realisation-secrets

Are not secrets at all.

God-realisation is an open book,

Open study, open course and open school.

And God the Teacher

Is also sleeplessly open

To the students’ requirements.

```

15584

```

Every day

My mind is on the lookout

For satisfaction.

But my mind does not realise

That this satisfaction comes

Only when it is empty

Of world-criticism.

```

15585

```

My selfless devotion

And God’s Perfection-Manifestation:

These two things

Are Eternity’s invaluable treasures. ```

15586

```

With my Heavenly friends

I walk, march and run

Along Eternity’s Road

To manifest my Lord’s

Transcendental Vision-Smiles

Here on earth. ```

15587

```

The only thing you need

Is a heart that expands,

So God can move in

Happily and proudly.

Everything else is of no consequence.

```

15588

```

May my daily aspiration-life

Become friends with

My soul’s simple delight-waves.

```

15589

```

If you want to become a passenger

In God’s Vision-Speedboat,

Then you must become a peace-dreamer,

Peace-receiver and peace-server. ```

15590

```

My Lord, my Lord,

You do not have to save me

From anything else

Or from anybody else,

If only You will free me

From my mind-prison! ```

15591

```

The invasion of doubt

Into our mind:

Does it ever end?

No!

It never ends,

It never does! ```

15592

```

God-lovers are loved and adored

By our God-searching

And God-invoking mind.

```

15593

```

You can establish your bond

With the rest of the world

By feeling its heart,

And not by examining its mind. ```

15594

```

Can you not see

That you have lost yourself

In your mind’s illusion and delusion-sky?

```

15595

```

It is simply an impossible task

To escape from the mind’s

Suspicion-downpour.

```

15596

```

God’s Presence

In my mind-cave,

In my heart-room,

In my life-street

I see, I clearly see!

Therefore, I feel that

My God-realisation-days

Are fast approaching. ```

15597

```

God offers you

What He has and what He is.

He has infinite Love for you

And He is infinite Concern

For you.

Can you not give Him

What you have and what you are?

You have stupidity

And you are your present unwillingness.

```

15598

```

The heart of faith disappears

When the mind of doubt

Starts dancing.

```

15599

```

God is expecting every day

A break in my foul mind-weather.

He expects better weather —

Alas, all in vain! ```

15600

```

O my heart, do help me.

I want you to be the creator

Of my purity-mind.

O my mind, do help me.

I want you to be the preserver

Of my sincerity-heart.
