Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 163

16201

```

If you live inside the circle

Of God’s Compassion-Eye,

Then your outer success

And inner progress

Can have no limits.

```

16202

```

Resentment

Born in a day

May not die

For immeasurable years. ```

16203

```

My soul’s sadness-tears

Have purified

My entire heart-existence.

```

16204

```

If it is

A God-manifestation-dream,

Then I wish to tell you

That this dream

Can and should come true

In your lifetime. ```

16205

```

His determination

Is as strong as steel.

His dedication

Is as beautiful as

An all-blossomed flower.

```

16206

```

There is only one dream

That will always be perfect

In your lifetime,

And that is the dream

Of self-transcendence.

```

16207

```

Nobody is too weak

To fight against ignorance-night,

For each human being

Has to prove ultimately

That he is a God-lover

And God-fulfiller

On earth.

```

16208

```

An insincerity-mind

Always fights against

A sincerity-heart.

Luckily,

The sincerity-heart

Eventually wins. ```

16209

```

If you have obedience,

Then God will bless you

With kindness, compassion

And satisfaction

In ever-increasing measure.

```

16210

```

With the sadness-heart

Of the suffering Mother Earth

And with the gladness-heart

Of the smiling Father Heaven,

I have begun

My God-discovery-journey. ```

16211

```

My heart’s solemn promise,

My mind secretly

And treacherously

Tries to break. ```

16212

```

There is only one

Truly faithful companion,

And that faithful companion

Is my God-surrender-heart. ```

16213

```

My mind tells my heart:

“Look what I can do

For you.”

My heart tells my mind:

“Look what I have given you

And also

What I am going to give you

In a twinkling.” ```

16214

```

Each uncomely thought

Is a self-destructive

Force.

```

16215

```

The earth-atmosphere

Never welcomes

The breath and life

Of newly God-loving souls. ```

16216

```

Do not waste

Your precious time.

Every day

Try to make it a point

To make real sense

Out of your life. ```

16217

```

There is only one right way

For me to go to God,

And that way

Is my heart’s unconditional

Surrender-way.

```

16218

```

Suppose that God

Does not reveal Himself

To your mind.

What will you do?

Will you wait

Or will you give up? ```

16219

```

Pinnacle-purity-light

You can bring into your heart

Only by taking

Regular surrender-exercises. ```

16220

```

Today I can clearly see

That my life’s

Self-discovery-voyage

Is well under way. ```

16221

```

If I do not improve

My aspiration-dedication-relationship

With God,

God is not going to consider me

A choice instrument of His.

```

16222

```

Suppose God forgets

To bless me.

What shall I do?

Only one thing:

I shall love Him more,

Infinitely more,

For He knows what is best for me.

```

16223

```

There is not

A single route to God

That is not paved with

His Compassion-Vision-Light. ```

16224

```

For each individual

There is a right way

To go to God, see God

And sit at God’s Feet. ```

16225

```

To appreciate others highly

For their good deeds

Is, alas, foreign

To human nature. ```

16226

```

As long

As the unlit human mind

Enjoys stupidity,

Fear will not be forced

To disappear

From earth’s atmosphere. ```

16227

```

Each peace-prayer

Is a God-worshipping

Purity-garland.

```

16228

```

The confusion-mind-territory

Ruthlessly defies

The capacity of a compass.

```

16229

```

If we do not soulfully pray

And self-givingly meditate,

We will not be able

To make divine sense

Out of life.

```

16230

```

The stupid mind and vital

Quite often consciously visit

The pleasure-supermarket.

```

16231

```

A heart of humility

Is an excellent

Pride-prevention-medicine.

```

16232

```

There is no harm

In dreaming.

But do not forget

That dreaming is not

The best thing.

The best thing is

Reality-becoming.

```

16233

```

Alas,

The human mind and vital

Are quite often fooled

By secret temptation-trickery. ```

16234

```

If you are

A fully awakened soul,

Then you can separate

Death from fear. ```

16235

```

Without a soulful heart

You cannot have

A powerful meditation.

Indeed,

This is a lesson

We have learnt

From the seekers of antiquity.

```

16236

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Are solely responsible

For the peace-pact

Between my unwillingness-mind

And my willingness-heart. ```

16237

```

Another day

Does not mean

Another doubt-thorn.

Another day

Means a new faith-blossom

Inside my heart-garden. ```

16238

```

If you have

A sincerity-heart,

Then you can easily bring

Your aspiration and dedication

Up to date.

```

16239

```

O my mind,

I do not approve

Of your frequent visits

To the unlit vital-cave. ```

16240

```

Can you not see

That God

Is especially proud of you,

For your monumental

World-responsibility?

```

16241

```

There is a great difference

Between possession and renunciation.

If you really want

To win life’s victory,

Then you must side with

Renunciation. ```

16242

```

Your life’s

Satisfaction-gates

Must be guarded

By your heart’s

Aspiration-soldiers.

```

16243

```

What a joy

To see the collapse

Of our mind’s insecurity

And insincerity-building! ```

16244

```

Compassion-game

Is the fondest game

Of my Lord Supreme

On earth.

Satisfaction-game

Is the fondest game

Of my Lord Supreme

In Heaven. ```

16245

```

Just one more time,

My Lord Supreme,

Tell me that You love me,

And that You will not let me

Go out of Your View.

```

16246

```

Aspiration-escalation

Is not only possible

But inevitable

If you can make friends

With sincerity and purity.

```

16247

```

My Lord

Does not mind correcting

My mind’s silly errors

As long as my mind

Is willing to be corrected.

```

16248

```

Even when

We quarrel with God,

God does not forget to spread

His Love-Bird-Wings. ```

16249

```

To walk hand in hand

With your Father-Lord,

Sow the seed of oneness-faith.

```

16250

```

Your heart’s inner flame

Will never be blown out

If your life becomes

A sleepless gratitude-breath. ```

16251

```

God’s larger-than-the-largest Ear

Immediately hears

My heart’s faintest hope-whisper.

```

16252

```

Every time I see God,

The first thing He asks me

Is to gaze

Deep into His Compassion-Eyes. ```

16253

```

O my heart’s

Silence-ecstasy-tears,

I am all fondness

For you. ```

16254

```

Alas, I do not know

How I can separate my mind

From its brooding,

Charcoal-black dreams. ```

16255

```

God wants me to be a first-class

And not a third-class passenger

On His Heavenward-sailing Boat.

```

16256

```

Each soulful thought

In my mind

Adds to the beauty and purity

Of my heart’s glistening chandelier. ```

16257

```

Do you want to hide from God?

You certainly can!

But God has not learnt

The art of hiding

From your heart-tears.

```

16258

```

Every morning

I am drenched with

My Lord’s Compassion-Rain.

Therefore,

I am of selfless dedication-service

To mankind. ```

16259

```

Alas, alas!

What has proud success

Done to him?

His proud success

Has stabbed

His humility-heart. ```

16260

```

We cannot realise

The true value of anything

Unless and until

We have purified our mind

Completely.

```

16261

```

God does not want us

To be burnt

In the fire of repentance.

He wants us to swim

With a new wave

Of progress-willingness. ```

16262

```

When will the proper time come

For you to give

Your mind’s frustration-night

To God,

And receive Illumination-Light

From Him

In exchange?

```

16263

```

God is so happy with me

And so proud of me

Because I am making Him work hard,

Very hard,

In and through me.

```

16264

```

The proud mind was shocked

When it was finally challenged

By the loving and correcting heart.

```

16265

```

Your earth-existence

Has no meaning

Because your life is empty

Of patience-satisfaction. ```

16266

```

You will not be satisfied

With a mind-wall.

You will be satisfied

Only with a heart-home. ```

16267

```

When I look at the world,

I watch nothing

But a conscious preference-game.

When I look at Heaven,

I watch nothing

But an indifference-game. ```

16268

```

O my heart,

I have every confidence

That you will be able

To cure my mind

Of its insecurity-sickness.

```

16269

```

The time is not distant

When every man

Will constantly long for

The total transformation

Of his unlit mind.

```

16270

```

When I think of this earth,

I suffer from mind-sickness.

When I think of Heaven,

I suffer from sympathy-emptiness. ```

16271

```

Do not accept

Conservative philosophy.

Do not accept

Radical philosophy.

Abide by your own spiritual philosophy.

Your philosophy is

Your heart’s willingness to work

For God’s fulness-manifestation

On earth.

```

16272

```

The heart-aspiration-boat

Must sail

Even under the thickest

Mind-cloud-sky. ```

16273

```

Do not allow your old fear

And your old doubt

To haunt and torment your mind.

Help your mind to be fed

By new imagination, new inspiration

And new dedication-flames. ```

16274

```

If my Lord Supreme does not cultivate

From time to time

My heart’s aspiration-tree,

Then my life will be devoid

Of soul-beauty and heart-purity.

```

16275

```

The divine love-boat

Continually sails

Towards the Golden Shore.

It does not have to dock anywhere

For repairs.

```

16276

```

You should not

Do anything other than

Expect unexpected frustration-failure

From your desire-life. ```

16277

```

Do not allow your life

To be a three-ring circus.

Become the life of greatness

And reveal the heart of goodness. ```

16278

```

Always be ready

To give full support

To your deserving

Aspiration-heart-cries. ```

16279

```

Never allow impatience-night

To destroy your mind’s serenity,

Heart’s purity

And life’s sincerity. ```

16280

```

Cultivate a mind of flexibility.

You will easily be able to widen

Your circle of self-giving friends.

```

16281

```

Step away from

Your mind’s godless pride.

God’s Magnanimity-Heart

Will immediately claim you

As its very own.

```

16282

```

To me, an unrealistic mind

Is not only unproductive

But also self-destructive.

```

16283

```

Double check your life’s

Dedication-list.

Make sure that everybody

Who is invited

Is served devotedly

Inside your heart-garden. ```

16284

```

God-intimacy,

Not world-supremacy,

Has to be your life’s

Breathless motto. ```

16285

```

It is to please God,

Your Inner Pilot,

That every day

You are strengthening

Your heart’s

Aspiration-credentials

And your life’s

Dedication-credentials. ```

16286

```

Can you not see and feel

That your soul is desperately crying

For your heart’s

Spiritual hunger-fitness? ```

16287

```

Let us take life as it comes.

If we test our strength

By pulling and pushing life,

Then we will altogether lose

The flower-beauty of life.

```

16288

```

Always be

Active, dynamic and resolute,

So that your long-standing

Misfortune-troubles

Can soon come to an end.

```

16289

```

In your inner life

Build a compassion-bridge,

And in your outer life

Build a tolerance-bridge

Between you and humanity

To bring the real in you

To the fore.

```

16290

```

Keep your distance

From insecurity-bite

And impurity-punch

To run the fastest

In your heart’s aspiration-race.

```

16291

```

To accept the spiritual life

Is to spread the gospel

Of aspiration-flames

And dedication-drops. ```

16292

```

Plunge into soulful action.

God will beckon you

To be the companion

Of His Heart-Life. ```

16293

```

When I overestimate

My potential,

I become an object

Of world-ridicule.

When I underestimate

My potential,

I break the Heart

Of my Compassion-Lord Supreme. ```

16294

```

Wage war

On your confusion-loving mind.

Your illumination-soul

Will immediately garland you

And crown you.

```

16295

```

Do not magnify your mind-problems.

Intensify your heart-cries.

Your mind-problems

Will automatically disappear. ```

16296

```

Your soul-charisma

Will come to the fore

If you throw yourself

Willingly and cheerfully

Into God-manifestation tasks.

```

16297

```

Cheerfully blow the whistle

On your body’s laziness,

Your mind’s hesitation

And your heart’s insecurity.

God will immediately claim you

As a supremely choice instrument

Of His.

```

16298

```

Never allow

Your doubtful mind

To boss you around.

God Himself has chosen

Your faithful heart

To be your only boss. ```

16299

```

Do not overlook the daily faults

Of your unaspiring mind.

Do not overestimate

Your heart’s aspiration-cry

For your life’s perfection-smile.

```

16300

```

God loves you

For your heart’s

Aspiration-purity.

God loves you

For your life’s

Dedication-intensity.

God loves you

For your soul’s

Omnipresent luminosity.
