Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 190

18901

```

You have an invisible Friend

Who is always eager to help you.

You may not see Him

With your human eyes,

But you can feel

His compassionate Presence

Inside your aspiring heart.

```

18902

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do meditate on my heart

With all Your Compassion-Love,

And do accept

My gratitude-flower-heart.

```

18903

```

Our inalienable birthright

Is to claim God.

Our only goal is to become

His choicest and most perfect instrument

To love Him and serve Him

In His own Way. ```

18904

```

God celebrates

His creation’s birthday

On earth

With His Vision’s

Blessingful Joy and Pride.

```

18905

```

Inspiration-lion will come

And energise you

If you can bring your inner joy

To the fore

On the strength of your prayer-life.

```

18906

```

My heart of silence

Is not only God’s Answer

To my life’s teeming questions

But also His divine Pride in me. ```

18907

```

Abandon the dying realities

Of the past!

Welcome the smiling dreams

Of the future! ```

18908

```

I really do not want

To remain lost any more

Between

My mind’s hesitation

And my heart’s fear.

```

18909

```

An inspired action

Is a confidence-step forward

To arrive at the perfection-goal.

```

18910

```

The shortage of faith

Immediately hastens the birth

Of destruction-crisis.

```

18911

```

What I always need

Is a God-hungry heart

And not

A man-nourished mind. ```

18912

```

Each self-giving thought

Descends

From a higher world

Of illumination-delight. ```

18913

```

Alas,

Many human beings

Have fragile and fleeting

Gratitude-hearts. ```

18914

```

O my confusion-mind,

Do you think my heart’s light

Will allow you to remain

Forever unchallenged? ```

18915

```

What I need

At every moment

Is a God-seeker’s mind

And a God-lover’s heart. ```

18916

```

Without God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart,

My heart is homeless.

```

18917

```

I want my mind’s freedom

To be founded upon

My gratitude-heart

To God. ```

18918

```

The heart’s willingness

And cheerfulness

Are needed

To extinguish the mind’s

Desire-flames.

```

18919

```

I love myself

Only when

I think of my Lord’s

Compassion-flooded Feet. ```

18920

```

Never falter

When you are marching

With your soul’s ecstasy

Towards the Ultimate Goal! ```

18921

```

What the doubting mind needs

Is not retribution

But illumination.

```

18922

```

What my mind needs

Is not a colourful imagination

But a prayerful inspiration.

```

18923

```

Before I entered into the spiritual life,

I was a division-loving mind.

Now that I am in the spiritual life,

I am a oneness-manifesting heart. ```

18924

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do make my heart and life worthy

Of Your tomorrow’s fast-approaching,

Abundant Compassion-Light. ```

18925

```

There is nothing wrong

If we start our journey

With a question mark-mind.

But eventually we must discontinue

That friendship

And establish a new

And permanent friendship

With our God-seeking heart. ```

18926

```

The new hope of my eyes

And the new promise of my heart

Have brought me ecstasy’s flood.

```

18927

```

Only from the realisation-summit

Does this world of ours look

Meaningful and purposeful.

```

18928

```

Success-certainty

Is not given to those

Who have surrendered

To the restlessness-mind. ```

18929

```

A God-loving life

And a God-dreaming heart

Are fond children of God.

```

18930

```

My heart’s

Aspiration-companion

Is my soul’s

Benediction-smile. ```

18931

```

The angels are always comfortable

In the company

Of God-lovers and God-servers.

```

18932

```

The doubting and unaspiring mind

Dances happily

When it sees the long-sought demise

Of the aspiration-heart. ```

18933

```

All my life I have been longing

Only for one thing:

A compassion-flooded heart

That sees no wrong in others. ```

18934

```

Alas, every day

God has serious problems

With His peace-manifestation staff.

```

18935

```

My Lord, I desperately need

To be a member

Of Your Vision-fulfilment Committee.

```

18936

```

Each good thought

Is indeed

A forward march,

An upward flight

And an inward dive.

```

18937

```

It is not for the mind’s

Narrow vision

To grasp the future total perfection

Of mankind. ```

18938

```

A man of aspiration

Is a flaming tower

Of God-fulfilling hope.

```

18939

```

May my life

Be in between

God’s Vastness-Compassion-Eye

And God’s Oneness-Fulness-Heart. ```

18940

```

The thought-bound seeker

Can never succeed and proceed

In the inner world.

```

18941

```

Each newness-moment

Fulfils itself

When it grows into

Fulness-satisfaction-hours. ```

18942

```

Frustration-night

Unmistakably follows

Impatience-day.

```

18943

```

Each step away

From responsibility

Is a step nearer

To life’s futility. ```

18944

```

A self-giving heart

Has a free access

To the soul’s higher worlds.

```

18945

```

The soul may be invisible,

But the soul’s wisdom-light

Is not only visible

But also usable. ```

18946

```

My mind’s simple thoughts

God loves.

My heart’s simple feelings

God loves.

My life’s simple faith

God loves. ```

18947

```

My Lord,

Do never allow me

To be dumbfounded

By my mind’s doubt-strength

And suspicion-power.

```

18948

```

My Lord,

May I thrive on

My heart’s soulful hope-plant

And my life’s fruitful promise-tree. ```

18949

```

His overcalculating mind

Is utterly responsible

For his life’s despair-day

And his heart’s despair-night. ```

18950

```

O humanity-inspiring heart,

Where are you, where?

I sleeplessly need you!

O Divinity-serving life,

Where are you, where?

I breathlessly need you! ```

18951

```

My Lord,

May I be sleeplessly enslaved

By Your Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart. ```

18952

```

My Lord,

May my heart be

A newborn champion

Of hope-light

And promise-delight.

```

18953

```

May my aspiration-life

Eventually become God’s own

Cosmic Vision-Fulfilment-Delight.

```

18954

```

Who wants

A life that shuttles

Between “maybe” and “certainly”?

Not me! ```

18955

```

Thought-bridge

I wanted.

Will-bridge

I want.

Oneness-bridge

I need. ```

18956

```

Is there any human being

Who is not expert

In the ego-collision-game?

```

18957

```

Alas, why do I remain

All the time

A dormant God-gratitude-seed?

```

18958

```

It is not an easy task,

But we must try to succeed

In liberating ourselves

From earth-frustration

While living on earth.

```

18959

```

Long

Is the life of love.

Longer

Is the life of oneness.

Longest

Is the life of fulness. ```

18960

```

Because I am pleasing God

In God’s own Way,

My mind’s insincerity,

My heart’s insecurity

And my life’s impurity

Have left me for good. ```

18961

```

A dividing mind

Will always be a victim

To fear, doubt and anxiety.

```

18962

```

The God in my friends tells me:

“Go forward, go forward!

Life is nothing but progress.”

The God in my enemies tells me:

“Are you sure that you are sincere?

Are you sure that you are pure?

Are you sure that you are perfect?

Be careful

While you are proceeding forward!”

```

18963

```

A purity-mind

Will definitely be protected

From the web

Of complexity-world. ```

18964

```

The pinnacle

Of the mind’s achievement

Is a song

Of universal oneness-smile. ```

18965

```

Divine love, divine compassion

And divine forgiveness

Are themselves their own

Infallible delight. ```

18966

```

There is no mind

That has never suffered

From unwillingness.

There is no heart

That has never suffered

From insecurity.

There is no life

That has never suffered

From failure.

```

18967

```

O desire-temptation,

I do not need you any more.

O aspiration-illumination,

I need you ever more. ```

18968

```

When you do not want to play with God

Lovingly, devotedly and soulfully,

You make God suffer infinitely more

Than you can ever imagine. ```

18969

```

The surrender of one’s individuality

To God

Is embraced by the Satisfaction-Universality

Of God. ```

18970

```

The freedom to believe in

The unseen divinity in others

Is the freedom that longs for

A heart of oneness-world. ```

18971

```

The pride of ignorance

Does not have a fleeting moment.

It has an abiding life.

```

18972

```

The vastness of the mind

And the hallowedness of the heart

Are the seeker’s invaluable

Inner wealth. ```

18973

```

The mind’s desire-storms

Are helpless

Inside the vastness

Of aspiration-ocean. ```

18974

```

The daily collection

Of earth’s streaming and unending tears

Is the favourite task

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

18975

```

O my mind,

I assure you

That there shall come a time

When you will be embarrassed

At your own too-frequent

Ego-performances. ```

18976

```

If you laugh

At the world’s stupidity-mind,

The world will laugh

At your insecurity-heart. ```

18977

```

Alas, how stupid

A human being is!

He asks his mind-thief

To guard his heart-room. ```

18978

```

My Lord,

I am sure I will be able

To protect myself from others.

But I beg of You

To protect me

From my ever-incorrigible,

Ever-shameless

And ever-destructive self. ```

18979

```

Only the aspiring heart

Can be aware of

The unaspiring mind’s

Clever and ruthless hostility. ```

18980

```

O my mind’s humility-footsteps,

Where are you?

I have not seen you

For a long, long time. ```

18981

```

Each good thought

Is a product

Of our heart’s

Sweetness-fragrance-fulness. ```

18982

```

I am sure that someday

My heart’s hope-road

Will lead my life

To my soul’s promise-destination. ```

18983

```

O my heart,

Never, never allow

Your eagerness-enthusiasm

To sleep,

Or even to go

On vacation. ```

18984

```

I wish to make friends

Only with my heart’s

God-loving tears,

And with nobody else. ```

18985

```

May my God-hungry heart

Become a self-giving

Fountain-heart-song.

```

18986

```

God’s Beauty in my body

Fades at God’s choice Hour.

God’s Beauty in my heart

Remains permanent.

God’s Beauty in my soul

At every moment increases

At a very high speed.

```

18987

```

Nobody will be

Left aside permanently

From God’s

Earth-transformation-team. ```

18988

```

Do not try to understand

The purpose of God’s Existence,

But try to claim

The Fragrance-Breath of God

As your own, very own.

```

18989

```

The vital and the mind

Are always the possessors

Of a very small

Forgiveness-supply. ```

18990

```

If we have implicit faith

In our Lord Supreme,

Then we are bound to see

That this world will have

A new, all-illumining dawn,

Not when we want,

But at His choice Hour.

```

18991

```

There is no human being on earth

Who does not have the capacity

To offer the message of peace

To the world at large.

But what is needed now

Is the soulful willingness. ```

18992

```

Peace does not mean only silence.

Peace is also something

Soothing, thrilling, enchanting,

Illumining and fulfilling. ```

18993

```

What is the source

Of our Heavenly achievements:

Peace, bliss and perfection?

Spirituality is the source.

What is spirituality?

A sincere inner hunger for God. ```

18994

```

The only Blessing-Boon

I need from You,

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Is this:

If it is Your Will,

I want to succeed,

And if it is not Your Will,

Then I do not want to succeed.

This is my life of surrender-light

Which I offer to You

At every moment.

```

18995

```

There is no such thing as a miracle.

When I throw myself

Into God’s Compassion-Sea,

My life becomes

A natural God-serving experience-delight.

```

18996

```

Everything I am doing

Is aimed at one goal:

A prayerful and soulful awareness

Of a universal oneness-family

Founded upon peace.

```

18997

```

If we feel secure

In the depths of our heart,

We shall not challenge anybody,

For inner confidence

Is nothing short of complete satisfaction.

```

18998

```

What can prayer

And meditation do for us?

Prayer and meditation

Give us inner strength,

And this inner strength

Can lead to a lofty peace

And a world-oneness-family.

```

18999

```

I want to live on earth

Not by means of material food,

But by means of my heart-to-heart talks

With my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

19000

```

Not because I am a poet,

Not because I am a philosopher,

But because I am a God-lover,

I see my Beloved Supreme

In each and every human being.

All human beings

Are my heart’s brothers and sisters,

And the whole world

Is my oneness-home.
