Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 170

16901

```

Finally I have discovered

My heart’s perfect beauty:

Gratitude.

```

16902

```

God loves

Our hope-heart-smiles

More than we can ever imagine.

```

16903

```

Negativity never cherish!

It weakens the heart’s

Beauty, joy and power.

```

16904

```

We must uproot

Not only the negativity-jungles

But also the separativity-trees.

```

16905

```

Today I am extremely proud

Of my mind,

For it is for the first time

Basking in my heart’s silence-sun. ```

16906

```

Desire-life

You cannot deceive me any more.

Aspiration-life,

You cannot escape me any more.

Dedication-life

You cannot hide from me any more. ```

16907

```

Expectation-clouds

Are always available.

Frustration-downpours

Are always available.

Surrender-sun

Is never available. ```

16908

```

If only this world of ours

Loved God a little more,

Our suffering hearts

Would grow into smiling lives. ```

16909

```

What I need

At every moment in my life

Is constant

Satisfaction-expansion-heart. ```

16910

```

My mind’s eloquence

Must come from

My heart’s sleepless silence

To feed the world-hunger. ```

16911

```

Willingness is

More than capacity.

Willingness is

The nearness of God. ```

16912

```

Economise

Rather than revolutionise

Your thinking mind-activities.

```

16913

```

When I pray and meditate,

I feel that each thought

Is either a God-thunder

Or a God-flute. ```

16914

```

It is I

Who have to make the choice

To make myself

Happy and perfect. ```

16915

```

My heart’s necessity-blossoms for God,

My heart’s capacity-blossoms for God,

My heart’s willingness-blossoms for God

Are always unlimited. ```

16916

```

Every morning my heart and I

Drink together only one thing:

Hope-nectar.

```

16917

```

Hope-flames

Must climb up

High, higher, highest.

They are not meant to sink. ```

16918

```

For year and years

My heart has been studying

At patience-school

To know the purpose

Of human life.

```

16919

```

My Master’s

Life-transforming touch

I await

Prayerfully and eagerly. ```

16920

```

You looked enough

At your outer world.

Now look at your inner world.

Your own soul-beauty

Will not only inspire you

But also immortalise you. ```

16921

```

Each night

Before I go to sleep

I pray to my Lord Supreme

To plant

Beautiful and positive dream-seeds

Inside my gratitude-heart-garden. ```

16922

```

If we have no cheerfulness,

How can God bless our mind

Even for a moment

With an angelic Vision-Light? ```

16923

```

You are a fool.

That is why you have cancelled

Your inner commitment

To your Lord Supreme. ```

16924

```

Where do I live?

I live in between

My Master divine

And

His life-transforming touch.

```

16925

```

Aspiration-intensity,

Aspiration-immensity,

Aspiration-luminosity

My heart needs sleeplessly. ```

16926

```

Only a surrender-heart

Or a silence-mind

Can hear God’s Angel-Whispers.

```

16927

```

Nature’s message to mankind:

Do not kill me!

God will bless you

With His Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart.

```

16928

```

In the spiritual life

The loss of a simple life

And the loss of a pure heart

Can only be felt

And never adequately described.

```

16929

```

It is very strange

That each human being

At times is afraid

Of his own tiny mind. ```

16930

```

Do not worry!

God never asked you to worry

Either about Him

Or about others. ```

16931

```

Both the desire-mind

And the aspiration-heart

Must surrender

To the Absolute Lord Supreme. ```

16932

```

Nature’s last message to mankind:

Do not mistreat me!

If you mistreat me

You will be a deplorable loser

In the battlefield of life.

```

16933

```

My outer commitment to mankind

Is to become a great man.

My inner commitment to God

Is to become a perfect slave. ```

16934

```

What I need

Is indomitable strength

In my mind.

What I need

Is inimitable surrender-joy

In my heart.

```

16935

```

If your brave promise is broken,

Then be prepared to make

A braver promise

To arrive at perfection. ```

16936

```

What kind of love is it

That does not embody

The message of universal service?

```

16937

```

Each new message from Above

Indicates God’s

Unconditional self-giving Joy.

```

16938

```

I call it

My perfection-heart.

God calls it

His Satisfaction-Eye. ```

16939

```

My mind’s unchanging occupations:

Frustration-roar,

Depression-sigh.

```

16940

```

Where there is no smile

Inside the heart,

That means the mind

Has shut the heart-door. ```

16941

```

What I desire

Is man-supremacy.

What I need

Is God-intimacy. ```

16942

```

God will change your fate

In a twinkling

If you do not cherish

Your weakling-heart. ```

16943

```

I am impure.

In whose eyes?

In God’s Eyes

Or in the eyes of the world?

If it is in God’s Eyes,

I shall try to proceed

Higher and higher,

To become a perfect instrument of God.

But if I am impure in man’s eyes,

Then I shall have to remain

Only soulfully silent.

```

16944

```

The confusion-mind

Is never allowed to enter

Into the heart-illumination-temple.

```

16945

```

To me,

Beautiful is my heart’s helplessness,

But not my mind’s hopelessness.

```

16946

```

The mind’s discipline-life

Determines

The perfection-speed of humanity.

```

16947

```

There can be no inner Heaven of delight

For a human being

Who does not aspire to become

A perfect citizen of the world. ```

16948

```

I need God the Compassion

To watch over my heart.

I need God the Forgiveness

To watch over my mind. ```

16949

```

When I meditate,

My Lord gives me

A heart without walls.

When I pray,

My Lord gives me

A mind with open doors. ```

16950

```

How can God

Ever be pleased with you

If you cherish

Your mind’s sole occupation:

Frustration?

```

16951

```

O my heart,

You may not be wanted

By the world,

But you are not only wanted

But also needed

By the Lord Supreme. ```

16952

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That His Heart-access

Is not restricted to the poor.

It is for all. ```

16953

```

If you want God

To broadcast your achievements,

Then you must never allow your mind

To resort to self-parade. ```

16954

```

O seeker,

I am telling you

That God-manifestation

Is not a far cry

From God-meditation.

```

16955

```

Nothing else

But the ancient wisdom-thoughts

Will be able to cure

The maladies of modern man. ```

16956

```

My Lord,

I need from You

Only a sunrise-heart

And a sunset-mind. ```

16957

```

May each human heart become

The aspiring morning’s

Enthusiasm-flower-smile.

```

16958

```

There is only one real life,

And that real life begins

Immediately after the death

Of the ego. ```

16959

```

Alas, I do not know when

I shall have the capacity

To make a long-distance call

To my Lord’s perfect Satisfaction-Smile. ```

16960

```

O my stupid mind,

Stop enjoying

Your constant and shameless

Doubt-drizzle. ```

16961

```

Only a silence-mind

Can perfectly hear

The Whisperings

Of God the infinite Compassion. ```

16962

```

Beauty’s peace-dove,

I soulfully love you.

Humility’s peace-dove,

I sleeplessly need you. ```

16963

```

There is only one way

To liberate me

From hurricane-anxieties,

And this is through

My heart’s God-loving

Gratitude-cry. ```

16964

```

God sings His Satisfaction-Songs

Only inside the hearts

Of the cheerfully self-giving seekers.

```

16965

```

The mind’s stubborn refusal

To accept the heart’s

All-illumining light

Is utterly shocking. ```

16966

```

Every time my mind

Makes friends with doubts,

My Lord Supreme suffers

From undeniable disappointments. ```

16967

```

The destructive pride

Of the suspicion-mind

Must immediately

Be smashed asunder. ```

16968

```

Today’s dream-seeds

Are tomorrow’s reality-trees,

Reality-flowers

And reality-fruits. ```

16969

```

An iota of faith

Can blossom into

A sunshine-victory.

```

16970

```

When I starve my earthly desire-mind

And feed my Heavenly aspiration-heart,

God invites me to come and be a member

Of His immediate Family. ```

16971

```

If you do not respond

To the call of your compassion-soul,

Then freedom from happiness

Will be your unavoidable fate. ```

16972

```

The entire world

Is helplessly surrendering

To the forest

Of depression-night. ```

16973

```

Each aspiring heart

Is destined to be flooded

With sweetness-happiness-fragrance.

```

16974

```

He is indeed

A deplorably poor man

Whose heart is empty

Of gratitude-joy. ```

16975

```

I do not want to have

Only the courage for newness.

I want to have

The willingness for perfect fulness. ```

16976

```

Each dreamer has

God the Compassion

As the Source

Of his inspiration-light. ```

16977

```

Justice-God,

True,

I am afraid of You.

But I do know

That it is You

Who can and will bless me

With Your Perfection-Delight.

```

16978

```

I do not need

A life of happy surprises.

What I need is

A heart of divine enterprises. ```

16979

```

Inside my heart-hermitage

I hear the Satisfaction-Flute-Songs

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

16980

```

Each small step forward

Is the new beginning

Of an all-transforming human life.

```

16981

```

I do not believe in service.

What you call service-mountain,

I call delight-fountain.

```

16982

```

It is infinitely easier

For a man to love you

Than to understand the message

Of your soul’s compassion-eye. ```

16983

```

The mind’s complexity-clouds

Have covered

The heart’s unity-sun.

```

16984

```

O my mind,

Be not afraid of perfection-light,

For it is nothing other than

Lasting satisfaction-delight. ```

16985

```

The human mind is always afraid

Of having new guests.

The divine heart is always welcoming

Both the new guests

And the old guests.

```

16986

```

It seems that

The desiring mind

And its isolation-loneliness

Are inseparable. ```

16987

```

Tomorrow is too late.

Even later today

May not be the right time.

Go and see God right now.

He is eagerly waiting for you.

```

16988

```

The God-Satisfaction-Game

Has many rules and regulations,

But they are all

Extremely compassionate. ```

16989

```

O my mind,

Be wise once and for all.

Don’t rest any more!

My heart has already started the journey.

The goal is beckoning you, too.

```

16990

```

My heart’s aspiration-cry

Will never fail.

My life’s dedication-smile

Will never fail.

My soul’s manifestation-dance

Will never fail. ```

16991

```

Be careful of impurity-thoughts!

They can run wild

Inside your mind-territory.

```

16992

```

Every day

I simplify my mind

So that I can

Amplify my Lord

Inside my aspiration-heart.

```

16993

```

If you want to develop

Adamantine will-power,

Then you must not foster ill will

Towards any human being. ```

16994

```

Every day

I cherish only one thing:

My heart’s sleepless flow

Of God-hungry tears. ```

16995

```

A realised soul is he

Who smilingly every day

Dives deep within,

Runs speedily forward

And flies high, higher, highest.

```

16996

```

God does not care for

My self-expression

And self-manifestation.

He cares only for

My self-investigation

And self-interrogation. ```

16997

```

My heart’s soul-bird

Has two wings

To fly in the firmament

Of Divinity’s unhorizoned delight:

A sleeplessly crying wing

And a sleeplessly smiling wing. ```

16998

```

O my mind,

Do not be afraid

Of speaking about God.

O my heart,

Do not be afraid

Of speaking to God.

O my life,

Do not be afraid

Of dining with God.

```

16999

```

How real is God?

God is as real

As my heart’s aspiration

And as real as my soul’s

God-manifestation-smiles.

```

17000

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Watches my surrender-heart-bird

Flying in His own Heart’s

Satisfaction-Sky. ```
