Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 183

18201

```

My Lord, if so is Your Will,

I shall lovingly, devotedly

And unconditionally

Carry Your Message of peace

To the very ends of the earth.

```

18202

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am simply tired

Of telling You my desire-stories.

How I wish

I could sing for You

At least one aspiration-song. ```

18203

```

My Lord Supreme

Wants to share with me

Everything of His

Except

His ever-increasing world-burden.

```

18204

```

At last the impurity of the mind

Is being purified and illumined

By the self-giving seeker’s

Compassion-heart. ```

18205

```

Imperfection

Is not only an unaspiring thing

But also a dangerous thing

In life. ```

18206

```

The life of a doubting mind

Is nothing but

An unwanted self-torture.

```

18207

```

Obedience, gratitude and perfection:

Alas, will these three

Divine realities

Ever be on the rise? ```

18208

```

Religion-wrangling

Must come to an end

If our real inner life

Is to come to the fore. ```

18209

```

God does not want us

To understand anything of His.

He just wants us

To feel everything of His,

Especially His Heart.

```

18210

```

Each aspiring soul

Has to be conversant in

God’s Silence-flooded Language.

```

18211

```

The heavier

Our heart-cry-weight,

The sooner we receive

God’s Satisfaction-Pride in us. ```

18212

```

God does not want us to live

On the threshold of willingness.

He wants us to live

In the heart-home of self-givingness. ```

18213

```

A childlike surrender

Is nothing short of

Our God-confidence-life.

```

18214

```

O seeker,

There is no joy

In standing around.

Dive deep within!

You will discover

Your hidden

Life-illumining realities.

```

18215

```

Each time I offer something

To mankind

Lovingly and devotedly,

I hear the whisper

Of a God-Satisfaction-sunrise.

```

18216

```

O my doubting mind,

Can you not see

That the road you are walking on

Leads you

From nothingness to nowhere?

```

18217

```

Without the inner assurance

From God,

It is extremely difficult

For a seeker

To make swift inner progress.

```

18218

```

God and God’s Lotus-Feet

Will give you shelter.

Why do you like to roam

Inside the nowhere-mind-territory? ```

18219

```

The sanctuary of the heart

Must always be kept

Not only secret

But also sacred. ```

18220

```

O my mind,

You have neglected my body.

Because of your negligence

My vital is poiseless

And my body is helpless.

```

18221

```

The unconditional surrender-life

Of a human being

Can lighten the heavy burdens

Of the Lord Supreme. ```

18222

```

The human mind

Grudgingly waits

For God’s Compassion-arrival.

The divine heart

Eagerly waits

For God’s Compassion

And Self-giving-arrival. ```

18223

```

O my mind,

There was a time

When I valued your usefulness.

Now I see your uselessness.

Therefore,

I want to be on my own. ```

18224

```

With my heart’s surrender-dawn

I went to God,

And God proudly gave me

His Heart’s Rainbow-Blessings. ```

18225

```

O my mind,

I blame you, and nobody else,

For neglecting the wisdom-sun

And allowing it to be eclipsed. ```

18226

```

God does not want you to learn

All about human nature.

God wants you to study

Only your heart-harmony-lessons. ```

18227

```

O my dearer-than-the-dearest

And sweeter-than-the-sweetest Lord,

May I immediately respond

To Your faintest Whisper-Call. ```

18228

```

Although it took me a long time,

I am now really happy,

Now that I am firmly intent

On pleasing my Lord Supreme

In every way.

```

18229

```

I am determined to sing

My Lord’s Victory-Song

With each and every one

Of my heartbeats. ```

18230

```

Each unconditional act of a seeker

Has the capacity

To lovingly and powerfully cradle

The entire universe. ```

18231

```

My Lord Supreme,

Please advise me

How I can make up

For lost time.

“My child, do not worry.

Whenever you start,

I shall take it as the real time,

As My Heart-gladdening time.” ```

18232

```

My Lord Supreme,

When I am in the inner world,

Do give me

Capacity-quality-aspiration-cries. ```

18233

```

I am constantly amazed

At my mind’s perplexities

And my heart’s simplicities.

```

18234

```

There was a time when I cried

For fame and gold.

But now I long for

Peace and golden light. ```

18235

```

I have come to realise

That only my gratitude-heart

Can help me

On my uphill aspiration-climb. ```

18236

```

O my doubting mind,

By this time you must realise

That your home is elsewhere,

And not inside my aspiring heart. ```

18237

```

The divinity of faith

Is Eternity’s

Doubt-problem-solver.

```

18238

```

In the life of aspiration

If you use the mind

And not the heart,

Then you are bound to take

Many false starts.

```

18239

```

When my mind is all surrender

And my heart is all gratitude,

My life becomes a life

Of unending progress-surprises. ```

18240

```

Self-sacrifice-fire

Is the most effective

Life-transformation-power.

```

18241

```

When we stand upon the stage

Of oneness-love,

Fear and doubt cannot stand

Beside us. ```

18242

```

Each time I offer a good thought

To any human being,

I feel that I am carrying

The message of oneness-liberation. ```

18243

```

This world of ours

Cannot belong to

Human demand and greed.

It belongs only to

Illumining happiness

And fulfilling promises. ```

18244

```

A God-loving heart

Is undoubtedly one with

A man-serving life.

```

18245

```

Unlike my mind,

My heart loves to enjoy

The universal oneness-smile.

```

18246

```

My vital kicks and kicks

At the reality,

Only to become tired.

My vital screams and screams

At the reality,

Only to become tired.

It accomplishes nothing beautiful,

Nothing fruitful. ```

18247

```

Two times

I get real satisfaction:

Once when my mind sighs,

And once when my heart cries. ```

18248

```

My heart trembles when giant doubt

Threatens my aspiration-flight

To the uncharted inner lands.

```

18249

```

At this late hour

There is no time to waste.

Either the mind has to surrender

To the heart,

Or the mind has to remain away,

Far away,

From the beauty and purity

Of the heart. ```

18250

```

When I speak

Only from the heart,

I get an extra supply

Of confidence

To please my Lord Supreme.

```

18251

```

My Lord Supreme,

I have talked to You for a long time

All about myself.

Can You not tell me

In just a few words

What You are here on earth for? ```

18252

```

How can God-discovery

Be our birthright

When our mind is

Terribly insecure

And our heart is

Unthinkably impure? ```

18253

```

May every moment

Of my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Be a satisfaction-manifestation

Of God on earth.

```

18254

```

When I am in the mind,

I tell God:

Forget me not.

When I am in the heart,

I tell God:

We shall remember each other.

```

18255

```

The human in me tells me

I cannot go any further.

The divine in me tells me:

“Keep going!

God Himself is nearing you.”

```

18256

```

The heart’s surrender

Is our God-oneness-will.

The mind’s surrender

Is a counterfeit faith. ```

18257

```

Keep singing only heart-songs

Even when you think and feel

That you cannot.

```

18258

```

Say only what you must:

You love and need God,

Only God.

```

18259

```

When your mind uses

Its own will,

It opens unconsciously

The frustration-door. ```

18260

```

If there is unity

In the heart,

Then it is easy for the mind

To cultivate integrity. ```

18261

```

Even an occasional moment

Of the mind’s inspiration

And the heart’s aspiration

Can help us bring down from Above

God-Satisfaction-Rain.

```

18262

```

If you have

A daring dream,

Then only can you have

A man-caring life. ```

18263

```

Success may depend on

Newness,

But progress always depends on

Oneness. ```

18264

```

From my heart I learn

Tolerance-songs,

And from my mind I learn

Indulgence-stories. ```

18265

```

Allow God to love you

And fulfil you

In His own Way

If you want to enjoy sleeplessly

God’s Fragrance-Breath.

```

18266

```

I shall not learn any more

The lifeless mind-stories.

I shall now study only

My sleepless heart-songs. ```

18267

```

Nothing can be more true

Than that my love of God

Comes from

God’s need for me. ```

18268

```

Now that I have uprooted

My mind’s suspicion-tree,

I am able to fathom the depth

Of my heart-hope-sea. ```

18269

```

If we befriend lethargy,

We will never be able to remove

Yesterday’s ruthless shackles.

```

18270

```

O my mind,

It seems that you are made

To doubt and fear,

And my heart is made

To be pure and sure.

```

18271

```

Meditation is the song of God

That we sing

To become a member

Of a oneness-home-world. ```

18272

```

Nobody can disappear in God.

We only appear before God

Either to love Him

Or be loved by Him

Or both.

```

18273

```

Who can keep up with God?

No, not even the God-lover

And the God-server.

```

18274

```

When your heart-room is ready

For God,

God will definitely

Bless you with

An inner inspiring shrine.

```

18275

```

If you abandon yourself

To God’s Care,

You will be able to adorn your life

With your soul’s matchless smiles. ```

18276

```

God asks me

To bury my criticism-mind

And to revive

My oneness-fulness-heart. ```

18277

```

Leave behind your old way

Of seeing the truth.

Use the new way:

Aspiration-heart-cry. ```

18278

```

God has bountifully lavished on you

His Compassion-Affection-Smiles.

Can you not accept them

With your happiness-heart? ```

18279

```

Dive deep within.

You will see that at every moment

Your soul is preparing your heart

For self-offering-delight. ```

18280

```

God does not want me

Just to feel sad

For earth-planet.

He wants me to do something

To serve her

And make her smile and smile. ```

18281

```

God-Nectar-Delight

You can drink and drink

Only when you do not question

The motives

Of God’s Love for you.

```

18282

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Does not choose at random.

It only creates

Confidence-joy

In each and every seeker.

```

18283

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

I truly love.

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

I eagerly invoke. ```

18284

```

God is proud of you

Not because

You have done quite a few

Extraordinary things,

But because in you He sees

The loving acceptance

Of your heavy life-burden.

```

18285

```

My very love of God

Quenches my God-thirst.

My very need of God

Satisfies my God-hunger. ```

18286

```

Nothing meaningful

And fruitful

Can be replaced.

Therefore, how can

My immortality-heart

Be replaced

By my perplexity-mind?

```

18287

```

Religion-God-fighters

Are many.

Spirituality-God-seekers

Are few.

Oneness-God-lovers

Are extremely, extremely rare. ```

18288

```

On the one hand,

I do not worship my Master

Because, like me,

He has a human form.

On the other hand,

I expect everything from him,

Thinking that for me

He is the God-representative

On earth.

```

18289

```

There is not a single soul

That does not embody

God’s universal Vision-Delight

To some degree. ```

18290

```

Self-deprecation

And self-aggrandisement

Are equally unhealthy experiences

In human life. ```

18291

```

There is always an inner being

Who can and does remind us

Of the universal Presence

Of God. ```

18292

```

My mind’s ego-torture

Has no access

To my heart’s oneness-land.

```

18293

```

Each heart is undoubtedly

Divinity’s unique

Flower-fragrance.

```

18294

```

An ordinary seeker

Means

An aspiration-ascent

And descent-flight. ```

18295

```

Alas, in vain I have been trying

To free myself

From thought-trap.

```

18296

```

God wants

Each and every human being

To live in the galaxy

Of new hopes

And new promises.

```

18297

```

The mind of turbulence

I was.

The heart of tranquillity

I now am. ```

18298

```

My seeker-friend,

Do not give up

Your spiritual life.

If you give up,

Your life will be as useless

As a felled tree. ```

18299

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do save my pilgrim-life

From the tangled road

Of stark despair. ```

18300

```

Attention all hearts!

In no time God will proclaim

Your decisive and permanent victory

Over the mind. ```
