Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 158

15701

```

My life

Is not a passing pleasure.

It is a lasting treasure

Of God. ```

15702

```

Do not stand against

God’s Compassion-Rule.

God’s Justice-Light

Will not tolerate it

Indefinitely.

```

15703

```

Again and again

God’s Compassion-Rain descends.

But alas, we do not value

Its all-loving, all-caring

Descent.

```

15704

```

You are your mind’s disobedience.

You are your heart’s disobedience.

You are your life’s disobedience.

Therefore,

You and your sad defeat

Must live and breathe together

In failure-jungle.

```

15705

```

A powerful Smile

From my Lord Supreme

Is my heart’s happiness-heritage.

```

15706

```

So many times

God has saved you

With His Compassion-Life-Preserver.

But you have never offered

Your gratitude-heart

To your Lord Supreme. ```

15707

```

God will allow me

To enter into

His Promised Peace-Land

Only after I have become a member

Of His Oneness-Heart-Garden.

```

15708

```

I surprised God

With my heart’s genuine God-hunger.

God surprised me

With His Compassion’s

Unconditional Nectar-Rain.

```

15709

```

If it is true

That God loves my reality-life,

Then He loves

My heart’s dream-boat-journey

Infinitely more.

```

15710

```

Do you want to touch

God’s Heart?

Then become either

The beauty and fragrance

Of a flower

Or the cry and smile

Of a child.

```

15711

```

My Lord is telling me

That the more I widen

My heart’s happiness-smile,

The sooner He will be able

To manifest

His transcendental Divinity

In and through me.

```

15712

```

What can poor God do?

He will never be satisfied

With your mind’s insincerity-cry.

```

15713

```

Do not travel temptation-road

Either with your mind

Or with your vital.

Pray to your soul

To transform your temptation-road

Into aspiration-road

For your safety

And for your perfection.

Your soul will do it for you.

```

15714

```

Every day

God the Creator

Sends His Smiles

To God the creation,

And God the creation

Sends its cries

To God the Creator.

```

15715

```

Everything that a human being does

Is too slow.

He has his own time,

His own rhythm.

Poor God has completely abandoned

His expectation-hour

When He deals with human beings.

```

15716

```

Everything

Has a beginning and an end.

In the case of doubt,

Its last stop is total destruction. ```

15717

```

With my heart-tears

Every day I wash the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme.

After I finish washing the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme,

He invites me to come

And dine with Him

In His own Heart-Garden. ```

15718

```

Anxiety and insincerity-attacks

Are so powerful.

Unfortunately, they do not overlook

Any mortal. ```

15719

```

An aspiration-seeker,

A dedication-server

And a perfection-lover:

God wants these three

To be inseparable

And immortal friends. ```

15720

```

When I visit

My Lord’s Heart-Palace,

He blesses me

With His own Heart’s

Sunrise-Smile and Rainbow-Dawn.

```

15721

```

Danger hovers over you

Due to your own carelessness,

Which is nothing short of

An unwanted hostile attack. ```

15722

```

When you stop being indulgent

To your mind and vital,

You are bound to see yourself

Swimming in the sea

Of sleepless delight.

```

15723

```

Everybody starts

With a life-dream.

Alas,

Very few life-dreams

Are fulfilled in any century.

```

15724

```

If you continue doubting,

Then one day

You will be forced to fear,

And your fear

Will surrender one day

To hopeless suffering. ```

15725

```

Each time I have

A sweet, encouraging

And inspiring hope

In my heart,

I feel that I am seated

At the foot of my life’s peace-tree. ```

15726

```

God never allows

His selfless seekers

To cut short

Their heart-aspiration

And life-dedication

On earth. ```

15727

```

Every morning

My soul encourages me

And inspires me

To cross beyond the happiness-horizons

And bring light and delight

From there

To transform the face and fate

Of humanity. ```

15728

```

We suffer

When there is an outer catastrophe.

But do we really care

About our inner catastrophes:

Fear, doubt and anxiety?

Our inner catastrophes

At every moment

Are not only haunting us

But destroying our inner life-breath.

```

15729

```

The mind’s hesitation,

The heart’s frustration

And the life’s destruction

Are forced to run

Towards an unknown destination.

```

15730

```

For so many years

I was enslaved

By my mind’s insecurities,

Jealousies and impurities.

But now my Lord Supreme

Has unconditionally saved me

From my titan-captors.

```

15731

```

Every time a human being

Does something divinely great

And supremely good,

God immediately broadcasts it

On His Heart-Radio.

```

15732

```

My soul observes

My soul’s birthday promise

Every day.

And what is that promise?

“God for God’s sake,

God’s Satisfaction for God’s sake.

Everything on earth,

Everything in Heaven,

Only for God’s sake.”

```

15733

```

A desire-life

Will, without fail,

Need radical purification

Before it is allowed

To enter into the heart-beauty’s

Aspiration-garden. ```

15734

```

If you are

Entirely dependent on God

In your inner life

And your outer life,

Then God is sleeplessly responsible

For the perfection of your outer life

And the satisfaction of your inner life.

```

15735

```

It is our psychic promises

That are eventually fulfilled.

Our mental promises,

Emotional promises

And all other promises

Quite often are not fulfilled.

Why?

Because they do not have

The necessary perseverance,

Their way of seeing the truth

Is not clear

And their goal itself

Is unclear.

```

15736

```

My Lord Supreme,

I have prayed to You

For many things in this life.

Now I would like You

To fulfil only one desire of mine.

My Lord,

Only save me from myself!

```

15737

```

When my mind-ego

Plays the role of a genuine seeker,

I see the aspiration-theatre

Is completely empty. ```

15738

```

I shall not allow

My soul-child

To be completely lost

In my mind’s confusion-jungle. ```

15739

```

My desire to know,

My desire to love

And my desire to become divine and perfect

Are my only desires in life. ```

15740

```

Forgiveness

Is by far the best

Freedom-delight

In God’s entire creation. ```

15741

```

In God’s Eye

Your heart’s aspiration-cry

Is as valuable as

Your soul’s illumination-smile. ```

15742

```

O my human mind,

It is high time for you to realise

That your ancient desire-disease

Will lead you to utter destruction. ```

15743

```

My heart is always

An eager volunteer

In God’s world-illumining

Activities. ```

15744

```

You do not have to face

A fruitless future.

It is you who can make

A fruitful, powerful

God-satisfaction-future

With your own self-giving life. ```

15745

```

There is not

A single book worth reading

In the ignorance-mind’s

Stupidity-library. ```

15746

```

What each seeker needs

Is a spotless, faultless faith

So that he can run like a deer

Along the road

Of awakening spirituality-fulfilment.

```

15747

```

What does a desire-life do?

It only disappoints us,

Either at the very beginning

Of our journey,

Or in the middle, or at the end.

The desire-life-journey

Is always a disappointment

Either today or tomorrow

Or some other time.

```

15748

```

Each life is caught

By temptation-tentacles.

Again, each life can be liberated

By God’s infinite Compassion

And man’s sleepless aspiration.

```

15749

```

When his mind’s teeming doubts

Said good-bye to him,

God immediately gave him

His adamantine Will

To manifest God in God’s own Way

Here on earth. ```

15750

```

What is doubt

If not trouble,

Here, there and everywhere’?

```

15751

```

If you think that your mind

Is always a trouble-maker,

Then why don’t you feel that your heart

Is always a problem-shooter? ```

15752

```

If you do not aspire,

Then you are bound to become

Sooner or later

An attachment, frustration

And destruction-hostage.

```

15753

```

There shall come a time

When it is you

Who will be doubting your doubts

And taking shelter

In your faith-flooded heart.

```

15754

```

Armed with the faith-sword,

Each truth-seeker and God-lover

Must run faster than the fastest

Along the road of God-manifestation. ```

15755

```

Instead of surrendering

To tomorrow’s devouring hunger,

We must pray and meditate

To swim speedily

In the river of self-giving-delight.

```

15756

```

Alas, alas!

I clearly see that my mind

Has been totally and mercilessly attacked

By insincerity-insects. ```

15757

```

Who can measure

The ruthless offence

Of an ingratitude-mind

And a God-surrenderless life? ```

15758

```

Alas!

My self-indulgence

Consciously compels

My soul to starve. ```

15759

```

I want to become

A doer of God’s Will

And not just remain

A hearer of God’s Will. ```

15760

```

When we want to make

Enormous progress

In our spiritual life,

We must live in a thought-free zone. ```

15761

```

There is no such thing

As an aspiration-overflow.

There is no such thing

As a dedication-overflow.

There is no such thing

As a manifestation-overflow.

There can be only one overflow:

A desire-overflow. ```

15762

```

It is necessary

For each individual

To become wise, humble

And self-giving

If he wants to be

God’s choice and perfect instrument. ```

15763

```

A good thought

Is always the starting point

Of our Heavenward journey.

```

15764

```

If you are reluctantly ready

To change your life,

Then God does not want it.

He cannot appreciate

Your reluctance-transformation.

What He needs and wants from you

Is a cheerful and willing

Transformation-beauty,

Transformation-perfection and

Transformation-satisfaction. ```

15765

```

In my case,

There is only one way

To make progress,

And that is through my life’s

Unconditional surrender.

```

15766

```

God definitely deposits

His Blessing, Affection and Love

In your heart-bank.

But your mind

Secretly and stealthily withdraws them,

So that everything is depleted. ```

15767

```

God-lovers

Are always hired

By God Himself.

They never suffer from unemployment. ```

15768

```

My Lord,

My gratitude-heart

I should have offered to You

Long, long ago.

Now it is shamelessly overdue!

```

15769

```

I made some progress

In my inner life.

Then I became overconfident

And proud of myself.

Since then, it has all been downhill

In my spiritual life! ```

15770

```

When my heart’s aspiration-flames

Were not burning properly,

I begged God to come.

He came only to tell me

That mine was not a serious case,

And that I would be cured.

And, in fact, He cured me

In the twinkling of an eye!

Now my aspiration-flames

Are burning bright, brighter, brightest. ```

15771

```

When I look at my soul

And my Lord Supreme

With my heart’s oneness-eye,

I see that my soul is like a child

In the Lap of my Lord Supreme,

And that the child and the Father

Look most surprisingly alike!

```

15772

```

Our love for God

Should not be duty-bound.

Our willingness, soulfulness

And fruitfulness-love only

Is what God needs,

For that is the only way

We can eventually make ourselves happy.

```

15773

```

Our hope becomes

False and useless

Only when we make

Insincere and weak efforts. ```

15774

```

What will happen

If I forget God?

Then I will miss happiness,

I will miss perfection,

I will miss satisfaction.

```

15775

```

There will be a new world

Which will be created

By genuine truth-seekers and God-lovers.

In this new world,

Only God and His choice children

Will play, sing and dance. ```

15776

```

The mind oscillates

Between truth and falsehood.

Alas,

How can I free myself

From this mind-oscillation?

What I need is a mind

That permanently lives

In the heart of truth. ```

15777

```

To me, indecision is not something

Insignificant.

It is something significant,

Something destructive,

For it does not allow me

To go forward

To see the beauty of truth

And the light of joy. ```

15778

```

Alas,

When shall I be able

To liberate myself

From my mind’s ever-thickening

Jungle-night?

```

15779

```

God has a very special Concern

For the newly-arrived souls.

He does not want them to mix freely

With the old souls,

Who have surrendered to

ignorance-night.

He wants these newly-arrived souls

To fight right from the beginning

Against ignorance-night

And establish His supreme Victory

Here on earth.

```

15780

```

Each human being by nature

Wants to know the truth.

But very few

Want to grow into the truth

And become truth-representative-messengers

On earth. ```

15781

```

God wants to see

This universe of His

Flooded not with equality-rivalry

But with equanimity-satisfaction. ```

15782

```

Man has turtle-speed.

Man has insect-ability.

Yet man is fond of being

Extolled to the skies

By the whole world.

```

15783

```

From our heart’s aspiration-airport

We shall have to come

To our life’s dedication-airport.

From our life’s dedication-airport

We shall have to go to God’s

Manifestation-Satisfaction-Airport. ```

15784

```

When I see the eagerness

Of a starving spiritual seeker,

I feel that the full manifestation

Of God on earth

Will soon take place.

```

15785

```

Do not allow your fear, doubt,

Anxiety and worry

To march before you

Proudly and shamelessly.

Capture them and transform them

Into choice instruments of God. ```

15786

```

Each human being

Should long for the time

When he will be flooded

With peace-prosperity. ```

15787

```

What has gone wrong

With your aspiration-cry?

I see there is no sincerity,

No purity, no intensity in it.

Alas,

Your aspiration-cry has lost

All its beauty, purity and divinity.

```

15788

```

My heart of unconditional surrender

Is God’s supreme spokesman

On earth.

```

15789

```

Someday

No one will be born,

No one will live,

No one will die

In ignorance-prison-captivity.

```

15790

```

In the inner world

There is no substitute

For the deathless cry.

In the higher world

There is no substitute

For the infinite Satisfaction. ```

15791

```

When consciousness-calamity

Takes place,

Each man becomes

An expression of the animal world. ```

15792

```

My Lord,

Please do not bless me

With the outer-world riches.

I need only inner-world riches,

Which are aspiration-cries

And dedication-smiles. ```

15793

```

If you are a truth-seeker,

Eventually you will become

A God-lover.

Then you will see

That unless you become a God-server,

You will not be fully satisfied. ```

15794

```

Alas,

What rules my days and nights?

My days and nights are being ruled

By my mind’s ego-extension,

Ego-dominion and ego-satisfaction.

```

15795

```

God is ready to offer you

His Compassion-Guidance.

But is your wild vital ready?

Will it ever be ready? ```

15796

```

If you feel that God’s Compassion-Eye

Is a stranger to you,

Then your aspiration-heart

Will not see the beauty

And the fragrance

Of God’s universal Sunrise. ```

15797

```

Where there is divine love,

There is a heart of oneness.

Where there is a heart of oneness,

There is a life of satisfaction. ```

15798

```

I pray to God

To take care of

My tiny aspiration-plants.

He tells me

That this is the only thing

He is well-qualified to do. ```

15799

```

No matter

What your critics say,

Pay no attention to them.

Just increase

Your own heart’s cry

And your own soul’s smile. ```

15800

```

I see the footsteps of unseen guests

Inside my heart.

I know, although they are unseen today,

Tomorrow they will be fully visible

To inspire me, help me and guide me

To the Reality supreme. ```
