Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 195

19401

```

Do not open the heart-door forcibly.

Open it lovingly and carefully;

You are bound to see

Your Inner Pilot

With all His Compassion, Affection

And Benediction. ```

19402

```

When I let God

Make the choice for me,

I see the Beauty of Heaven

Replacing the ugliness of earth. ```

19403

```

Do not try to expedite

The journey of the heart.

The heart knows better than anybody else

Its capacities

And its destined time of arrival

At the Goal. ```

19404

```

My step-by-step

Devotion and surrender-life

Will one day blossom

And become perfectly beautiful. ```

19405

```

Why are you not listening to God?

God has so many times asked you

To use your heart’s

Surrender-freedom-wings

To fly in the sky of infinite Delight.

```

19406

```

If you just step up to a higher level,

You will find that your God-imagination

Will one day be transformed

Into God-realisation. ```

19407

```

When God bosses us around,

He does it with utmost Compassion

And utmost Concern —

Only for our perfection-realisation. ```

19408

```

My Lord’s

First and foremost Command is:

“My child, please Me in Heaven

By fulfilling Me on earth.” ```

19409

```

How can God possibly fulfil you

When the power of your receptivity-heart

Is almost negligible?

```

19410

```

God will not have to punish you

For your misdeeds.

That is your soul’s task,

And your soul is bound to do it

In its own unmistakable way.

```

19411

```

Unless you change immediately,

Your life will bristle

With darkening, thickening

And life-destroying problems. ```

19412

```

My Lord’s Compassion

Is always available.

My Lord’s Forgiveness

Is always available.

What is not available

Is my gratitude-heart-tears. ```

19413

```

When I am in my soul,

I smile and smile

In the illumination-life

Of my soul.

When I am in my heart,

I cry and cry

In the despair-life

Of my soul. ```

19414

```

Alas,

My aspiration-room is unfinished,

My dedication-room is unfinished,

My surrender-room is unfinished.

But I am so happy that

My gratitude-room is unfinished,

And I hope my gratitude-room

Always remains the same. ```

19415

```

I do not want to remember

My negativity-mind.

I do not want to remember

My futility-life.

I want to remember only

My God-intensity-heart. ```

19416

```

Because your God-surrender

And your God-gratitude

Are still a far cry,

Your earth-life will eventually

Swim in a sea of tears.

```

19417

```

There can be no unlisted

Heart-number

For God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

19418

```

The aspiring heart believes in

Only one road,

And that road is

Oneness-happiness-road. ```

19419

```

The invisible faith

Is often visible

To our heart’s warrior-strength.

```

19420

```

Thought-batteries

Always supply the mind

With insignificant and useless

Incidents in life. ```

19421

```

The purity of the heart

And the sincerity of the mind

The soul carries

When it enters into

God’s universal Oneness-Shrine.

```

19422

```

Anything positive

Will finally outlast

Anything negative.

Positivity is a God-made ocean;

Negativity is a man-made wave.

```

19423

```

If you treat your ignorance-night

Gently, compassionately and self-givingly,

Yours will be the life of

Quick destruction-arrow. ```

19424

```

The soul of each and every religion

Needs God’s

All-fulfilling Compassion-Height

And not man’s

Tempting ignorance-pleasure.

```

19425

```

Despondency can be fatal!

Enthusiasm is a divine spark

Within us

To challenge the pride of ignorance

Around us.

```

19426

```

Yesterday is too old.

Do not mix with the old reality.

Enter into today’s

World-illumining

And world-fulfilling dream.

```

19427

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do give me a very special boon:

I would like to become stuck to You

As to a powerful magnet. ```

19428

```

His mind is the lion

Of dauntless power.

His heart is the God-fulfilling

And earth-illumining tower. ```

19429

```

If you want to breathe

With your Lord’s own Breath,

Then do not breathe inside

The mind-desert

But inside the heart-garden.

```

19430

```

There are many keys

To open God’s Gate,

But I always prefer my heart’s

Unconditional surrender-key. ```

19431

```

I do not want my life to be

A play of possibilities

But a play of

God-manifestation-inevitabilities. ```

19432

```

Man speaks to God

With his brittle faith-prayers.

Yet he dares to expect

God’s immediate Arrival. ```

19433

```

My heart’s aspiration-life

Is quite often sweet.

My mind’s desire-life

Is always bitter. ```

19434

```

It seems that

Each unaspiring human being

Has buried himself alive

In ignorance-night. ```

19435

```

Divinely beautiful

Is humanity’s sincerity.

Supremely fruitful

Is humanity’s humility. ```

19436

```

Start again with a new heart.

This time your mind’s ego-wall

Will definitely crumble,

And your heart’s oneness-smile

Will grow and glow.

```

19437

```

Every day I practise

My heart’s hope-songs.

Therefore I have not given up

On man’s ignorance-indulgence. ```

19438

```

Unwillingness in a seeker’s life

Is by far

The greatest misfortune

And worst failure. ```

19439

```

There are innumerable

God-satisfaction-roads,

But I have chosen my heart’s

Sleepless gratitude-road. ```

19440

```

The mind does not surrender

To God’s compassionate Will

Even when the mind’s troubles

Are at their worst. ```

19441

```

Everything that I have

Inspiring and aspiring

Is due to

God’s Patience-Heart-Sea. ```

19442

```

My Lord of Compassion

Has followed me far and long.

Now it is my bounden duty

To follow Him in His own Way. ```

19443

```

God has asked me time and again

To give my ignorance

To His Compassion-Care.

But alas, I have sadly failed

To please Him in His own Way.

```

19444

```

Years and years ago

I made God happy in His own Way.

Alas, what am I doing now?

I am trying in vain

To please myself in my own way.

```

19445

```

It is so easy

Either to disgrace my life

With desire-night

Or to grace my life

With aspiration-sun.

```

19446

```

God tells me

That His faith in me

Is infinitely stronger

Than my self-doubt. ```

19447

```

Walk no more

On yesterday’s dream-road,

But walk

On today’s reality-road. ```

19448

```

Every day I pray to God

To bless my heart

With His Eternity’s Hope.

```

19449

```

A godless mind

Is where

A heartless life

Abides. ```

19450

```

I am so fortunate

That God and God’s Patience

Have followed me

So far and so long. ```

19451

```

God tolerates all my weaknesses

Except one:

My unwillingness.

```

19452

```

Years and years ago

I had the inner strength

To make my Lord Supreme happy.

Alas, I am now following the footpath

That my confusion-mind has chosen.

```

19453

```

God eagerly encourages me

To ask Him

Many life-illumining questions

Every day. ```

19454

```

If you are a man of a ready heart,

Then all the dreams of your soul

Will be fulfilled

Here on earth. ```

19455

```

Alas, I do not know why

My doubting mind,

My strangling vital

And my sleeping body

Are not convicted

By God the Justice-Light. ```

19456

```

A thought,

No matter how small it is,

Can easily be

My heart’s poise-invader. ```

19457

```

God is

God’s Fondness-Promise

Only when I am

My oneness-manifestation. ```

19458

```

Before you make a home

For God,

God wants you to share

Your compassion

With suffering humanity.

```

19459

```

As Heaven

Has most warmly recommended

Your soul to earth,

Even so, earth should recommend

Your heart to Heaven.

```

19460

```

When it is a question of happiness,

You will find it inside

Your world-service-wisdom.

```

19461

```

God invites

A tiny drop of enthusiasm

From me

To become part and parcel

Of His Heart’s Ecstasy-Sky.

```

19462

```

A reasoning mind

Is forced to play the role

Of a failed character

In God’s Cosmic Play. ```

19463

```

God made forgiveness enough

For each and every human being,

But alas,

Nobody cares to use it. ```

19464

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Heart of Forgiveness-Concern

Has removed my old human cravings.

My life shall no more fly on wings

Of desire-temptation-frustration.

```

19465

```

O my seeker-friend,

Be patient.

Your cloudy inner days

Cannot and will not last

For long.

```

19466

```

You can save yourself

From desire-dust

Only by releasing your heart-joy

From your mind-prison. ```

19467

```

I don’t have to go far,

I don’t have to go high,

But I have to go deep within

To satisfy my God-hunger. ```

19468

```

For my sake

My mind and I

Constantly want to be great.

For God’s sake

My heart and I

Perpetually long to be good. ```

19469

```

If we can make

Unconditional surrender to God’s Will,

Then all our burdens

Will turn into gains. ```

19470

```

God’s Forgiveness

And my heart’s secret and sacred joy

Together go

To accomplish something divinely great

And supremely good.

```

19471

```

Drink, drink

God’s Compassion-Light

From His Blessing-Cup!

```

19472

```

No peace-traveller

In the aspiration-world

Will ever return home

Empty-handed. ```

19473

```

As I love

God’s Compassion-Eye,

Even so, I love

My gratitude-heart,

For together

They make me complete and perfect. ```

19474

```

Each soul

Flies from place to place

With God-manifestation-messages

Every day. ```

19475

```

Alas, I have fallen once again

Into my old mistake-life:

I constantly find fault

With the rest of the world. ```

19476

```

I shall definitely return

Once more

To my aspiration-heart

From my mind’s desire-life. ```

19477

```

If you can practise

A life of sympathy and concern,

Then God Himself will sing

His Satisfaction-Song

Inside your heart-garden.

```

19478

```

We are completely lost

When we live a God-forgetful life

In spite of our aspiration-heart.

```

19479

```

God has no desire to offend you

In any way.

He has only the desire to illumine you

In every possible way. ```

19480

```

My heart and I

Every day soar

Far beyond my reasoning mind

To the end of my earthly life. ```

19481

```

God’s personal Motto is:

“A Self-Transcendence-Life

In a Oneness-Heart.”

```

19482

```

Knowing that God’s Compassion-Eye

Is waiting for you,

Why are you so unwilling —

Even unprepared? ```

19483

```

May my unconditional surrender-life

Be always preserved

In the depth of my illumination-soul.

```

19484

```

Two things

Do not happen together:

The satisfaction of my desire-life

And the perfection of my aspiration-heart. ```

19485

```

We cannot and must not undermine

The sublime strength

Of each simple, God-loving thought.

```

19486

```

Beautiful, soulful and fruitful

Is each dream-blossom

Of my heart.

```

19487

```

My heart-tears

Will always keep my life’s hope

Inspiring and illumining.

```

19488

```

Our true education

Comes from self-giving,

And self-giving

Comes from the cheerful acceptance

Of God’s earth-illumining

And Heaven-fulfilling Will. ```

19489

```

It is not good

To doubt anybody or anything,

Except when it is a matter

Of doubting falsehood

And one’s constant incapacities.

```

19490

```

I shall no longer roam

With a thirsty mind

And a hungry heart,

For I am climbing high, higher, highest

With my inner aspiration-flames.

```

19491

```

Experience is a solid bridge

Between

What our life has already achieved

And what our heart can eventually achieve. ```

19492

```

Whenever there is a struggle

Between my doubting mind

And my believing heart,

My wisdom-flooded soul

Always blessingfully and proudly

Takes the side of my heart. ```

19493

```

I am shocked twice:

Once when I see no God-eagerness

Inside my heart,

And once again

When I see no God-necessity

Inside my mind. ```

19494

```

I am totally lost

Between my mind’s

Ignorance-pleasure-hunger

And my heart’s

God-satisfaction-hunger.

```

19495

```

I want to create

A loving connection

Between my mind and my heart.

Alas, so far there has been none. ```

19496

```

O my attachment-mind,

It is you who have taken away

My heart’s

Simplicity-sincerity-purity-flooded joy. ```

19497

```

It is a deplorable mistake

To think that

Our imagination, inspiration,

Aspiration and realisation

Can work overtime.

Overtime work for them

Is non-existent.

```

19498

```

If you cannot derive joy

From your constant God-obedience,

Then yours will be the life

Of ultimate failure. ```

19499

```

Two things you must do:

You must pray

For the breath of sincerity

In your searching mind

And for the death of impurity

In your aspiring heart. ```

19500

```

My Lord, when You think of me,

Do You know that You look

Beautiful?

My Lord, when You show

Your Compassion to me,

Do you realise that You look

More beautiful?

My Lord, when You forgive me,

Do You realise that You look

Infinitely more beautiful?

My Lord, I am not flattering You.

It is absolutely true. ```
