Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 165

16401

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To sing every day

A few new love, devotion and

Surrender-songs

To make You happy. ```

16402

```

O my mind’s

Enthusiasm-child,

Wake up!

Sleep not any more!

It is already very late

For you to wake up. ```

16403

```

Is there anybody

Who has never suffered

From the stupid mind’s

Ruthless inferiority-invasion? ```

16404

```

No!

Not God’s Justice

But you alone

Have created

Your uselessness-life.

```

16405

```

Every day

God’s Compassion

Teaches the seeker

How to discover

His life’s deeper dimensions.

```

16406

```

O where are you,

My life’s silence-speed?

O where are you,

My heart’s gratitude-speed? ```

16407

```

My mind

Is now genuinely ashamed

Of its long-standing friendship

With doubt. ```

16408

```

My mind’s strong convictions

Are no match

For my heart’s pure aspirations.

```

16409

```

Every day

I force my ingratitude-mind

To go and visit

Its graveyard. ```

16410

```

I may not be sweet,

But my heart’s gratitude-tears

Are always sweet,

Measurelessly sweet. ```

16411

```

Where do I live?

I live in my imperfection’s

Despair-ridden world.

```

16412

```

A suspicion-mind

Is always a prelude

To a disaster-life.

```

16413

```

My Beloved Supreme,

Do You remember me?

Was I not once upon a time

A most favourite child

Of Yours?

```

16414

```

O my heart’s peace-dove,

Fly, fly,

In Infinity’s oneness-sky.

```

16415

```

My heart’s hope-fragrance

Is the supreme inspirer

Of my life’s promise-dreams.

```

16416

```

Today my soul

Has given me the capacity

To burn up my mind’s

Unwillingness-arrogance. ```

16417

```

God’s Satisfaction-Heart

Is the protection supreme

For all heart-travellers.

```

16418

```

Devotion’s intensity

Multiplies

The heart’s aspiration-flames.

```

16419

```

Obedience-heart-flowers

Have no

Disobedience-mind-thorns.

```

16420

```

May I find

My days and nights

Between my soul’s dynamism

And my heart’s eagerness. ```

16421

```

O my life’s empty dreams,

Can you not see

That you are carrying me

To nothingness-land? ```

16422

```

Indeed,

There is an unbridgeable chasm

Between my mind’s hallucination

And my heart’s illumination. ```

16423

```

O my poor life,

Abandon, abandon immediately

All your failure-thoughts

And see

The first dawn of reality.

```

16424

```

Impossibility-frontiers,

Every day

I shall vehemently

Push you back

Farther and farther.

```

16425

```

Self-doubt

Will take you

To the danger-path,

And there you will meet

With stark disaster.

```

16426

```

Liberation you will get

At God’s choice Hour.

Rest assured,

It will not come too late! ```

16427

```

A purity-heart can enjoy

A small foretaste

Of celestial peace-delight.

```

16428

```

Is there any day

When I am not embarrassed

By the harassment

Of my mind? ```

16429

```

I do not totally abhor darkness,

For there is definitely

Some light

Even in darkness. ```

16430

```

My mind,

I am not utterly displeased

With you,

For you are at least

A curable atheist.

```

16431

```

You are so fortunate that

God Himself has commissioned you

To reveal and manifest Him

In His earth-transformation-Promise. ```

16432

```

God wants

Your undivided attention.

Are you ready?

If not, you and your mind’s

Bumpy road

Can go in your own way. ```

16433

```

A sleeplessly self-giving soul

Is not an excitement-elevator

But an enlightenment-elevator.

```

16434

```

I am so happy and blessed

That my very first attempt

To go beyond the mind

And enjoy the bliss of silence

Was completely successful.

```

16435

```

My Lord,

Your Justice-Light may not,

But Your Compassion-Height can easily

Tell me how

To separate my mind

From the whirlpool of worries. ```

16436

```

O how beautiful

Is desire’s natural death!

O how fruitful

Is aspiration’s spontaneous birth! ```

16437

```

Daily

Everybody has to capture

And tame

His monkey-mind and vital-horse. ```

16438

```

Compassion is the temple

And forgiveness is the shrine

Of all truly God-loving souls.

```

16439

```

My Lord,

Will You love me more

If I escape from my mind-jail?

“My child, infinitely more!” ```

16440

```

From now on,

Silence-peace

Will be my only

Conversation-partner. ```

16441

```

I am sure that

Right behind my life’s teeming clouds

God’s Compassion-Forgiveness-Sun

Shines. ```

16442

```

My Lord,

Your blessingful Nectar-Invitation

Even my unsearching mind

Loves. ```

16443

```

Your insincerity-mind

And your ingratitude-heart

Enjoy collusion.

```

16444

```

O my mind, delay not!

Sink, sink

Your doubt-arrogance-submarine!

```

16445

```

Because of your sleepless

Self-giving,

God Himself is striking

Your life’s transformation-gong. ```

16446

```

My Lord Supreme,

Once, only once,

Will You think of me —

I mean

My poor and hopeless heart?

```

16447

```

You are

Your fountain-gratitude-heart.

Therefore,

God has come to you

With His Mountain-Satisfaction-Life.

```

16448

```

No life-surrender-substitute

Is accepted

By the Absolute Supreme.

```

16449

```

Is there any seeker

Who has not become

Part and parcel

Of the rising and falling

Of aspiration-river?

```

16450

```

Alas!

How many years

Do I have to live

On the fruitless shore

Of my God-forgotten dreams?

```

16451

```

Willingness, cheerfulness

And soulfulness

Are three inseparable

And unparalleled God-lovers. ```

16452

```

No human life

Can liberate itself

From responsibility’s claims.

```

16453

```

Because

You are a true God-lover,

You are able to enjoy

Your heart’s beautiful

Aspiration-flower

And your life’s ripe

Dedication-fruits.

```

16454

```

A self-giving life

Does eventually reap

A huge happiness-harvest.

```

16455

```

Each promise-moment

Is the beginning

Of a new creation.

```

16456

```

O my mind,

When are you going to complete

Your higher purity-course?

```

16457

```

Today I shall strengthen

My heart’s

Aspiration-cry-flames

And I shall weaken

My mind’s

Unwillingness-resistance-frowns. ```

16458

```

Breathe, breathe,

Breathlessly breathe

God’s Compassion-Heart-Fragrance.

```

16459

```

An unconditional life

Is the living story

Of God.

```

16460

```

My sleepless gratitude-heart

Is a first-class passenger

On God’s Satisfaction-Boat.

```

16461

```

Each human mind

Is full of

Unreality-questions.

Each divine heart

Is full of

Reality-answers.

```

16462

```

I have commanded my mind

To change,

And it has devotedly

Obeyed me. ```

16463

```

My Lord, do tell me,

Where is Your hiding place?

“My child,

My hiding place is inside

Your unlit mind’s thought-cave.”

```

16464

```

How can anybody

Make any progress

If he lives in the land

Of mere chance? ```

16465

```

To live in thought-squalor

Is not an uncommon experience

For the human mind.

```

16466

```

O my doubting mind,

Do not misunderstand

My all-loving heart!

```

16467

```

If you yourself

Do not give serious thought

To your own spiritual life,

Why should anybody else

Do it for you?

```

16468

```

O my heart’s aspiration-cry,

You are my only

Trustworthy friend.

```

16469

```

My heart

Lovingly and compassionately

Teaches my mind

How to read

The God-manifestation-map.

```

16470

```

Temptation-maker

Is caught.

Temptation-shooter

Is sought. ```

16471

```

A purity-heart

Is indeed

One of the supreme trophies

Of life. ```

16472

```

No matter how useless

A human life is,

It cannot exhaust

God’s infinite Compassion. ```

16473

```

Of all my soulful gifts,

My heart’s gratitude-garland

God likes most.

```

16474

```

There is no life

Without a sigh.

There is no heart

Without a cry. ```

16475

```

His eyes never forget

To show his heart’s smile

To humanity.

```

16476

```

What is making me

So happy?

I am clearly seeing

My fading doubt’s failure. ```

16477

```

A supremely

Peace-flooded oneness-heart

Knows no limits.

```

16478

```

If you are unrealistic,

Then the frustration-train

Will arrive at your mind-station

Much sooner. ```

16479

```

Each human being

Has to run

A compulsory ultramarathon

To arrive at perfection-truth. ```

16480

```

Alas,

How is it that

We human beings

Are not tired

Of a non-stop

Circus-life-performance? ```

16481

```

God’s deadline:

Either today or any day!

Man’s deadline:

Now or never! ```

16482

```

O my mind,

How and why do you enjoy

The same old failure-stories?

```

16483

```

Two things

I need at every moment:

A sleepless aspiration-life

And a breathless meditation-heart. ```

16484

```

O my mind,

When will you learn

That each good thought

Is a delight-spreading

Rainbow?

```

16485

```

Today I have liberated

My mind

From the world’s

Comparison-prison. ```

16486

```

Good news

For all God-lovers:

God’s Compassion-Fountain-Eye

Is fast approaching us. ```

16487

```

Weakness,

Why do you appear and reappear

So frequently

In my aspiration-life? ```

16488

```

Ignorance,

You have offended me

In so many ways!

But I shall offend you

In a special way.

I shall completely

Transform you.

```

16489

```

At last

Everybody in my family —

Soul, heart, mind,

Vital and body —

Has become a hero-climber

Of aspiration-mountain. ```

16490

```

How can I have

Admiration for you,

When you are just

A spiritual tourist? ```

16491

```

If you insist

On your own way,

Then God’s Eye will sit

On the Judgement-Seat. ```

16492

```

If you breathe world-sympathy,

Then God will breathe

His own Heart-Pride

In you. ```

16493

```

A soft, sweet whisper

From within

Stirs my entire outer being.

```

16494

```

Nobody can fell

And nobody will ruin

My life’s huge hope-tree.

```

16495

```

My seeker-friend,

Since when have you

Stopped drinking

Your life’s darkness-poison? ```

16496

```

Your God-realisation-

Plane ticket

Can be purchased only by

Your sleepless surrender-guide. ```

16497

```

God wants me to run

On His Heart-Pride-Road

And not

On His Compassion-Eye-Road. ```

16498

```

God’s Justice-Light-Bank

Never gives loans

To anybody.

```

16499

```

Alas,

It is so difficult

To escape from

Insecurity-mosquito bites! ```

16500

```

I ask God for many favours.

But God asks me

For only one favour:

“Claim Me, My child,

Just claim Me!”
