Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 200

19901

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is the only medicine

That can cure our shattered

Aspiration-hearts. ```

19902

```

A genuine hope

Is indeed a fort

To protect us from doubt-attacks.

```

19903

```

To fly

In the sky of freedom-happiness,

What we need

Is a faith-foundation

For our life.

```

19904

```

Our heart’s tears

Must be far beyond the reach

Of our mind’s thoughts.

```

19905

```

When God descends

With His smiling Eye,

We are supposed to ascend

With our crying heart. ```

19906

```

O seeker,

Inside your gratitude-heart

There will always be ample room

For your love, devotion and surrender

To grow and glow.

```

19907

```

There is only one way

For us to conquer

Our desire-madness,

And that way is the way

Of our aspiration-gladness.

```

19908

```

God is pitifully crying.

Do you know why?

Not because

You are not surrendering

To His Will,

But because

You are not allowing your heart

To claim Him as its very own. ```

19909

```

The insecurity-mask

Is larger than the largest.

Therefore, it easily hides

Our heart’s Godward aspiration-flames. ```

19910

```

The hesitation and frustration

Of the mind

Always try to devour

The aspiration-flames and dedication-drops

Of the heart.

```

19911

```

We can grow old

With our desire-mind,

But we always remain young

And ageless

With our aspiration-heart.

```

19912

```

I have not one, but two places

To divinely enjoy myself:

Inside my God-manifesting soul

And inside my God-dreaming heart. ```

19913

```

Your ignorance-sleep

Will stop

When your genuine God-need

Starts. ```

19914

```

You are a victim

To constant helplessness

Because you are unwilling to swim

In God’s infinite Compassion-Sea. ```

19915

```

A deceptive mind

Is not to be revealed.

It has to be concealed first,

And then illumined

By virtue of our prayer and meditation,

For this is the only way

God’s Dream-manifestation can take place.

```

19916

```

To climb illumination-peak,

Lighten your mind-load

And brighten your heart-smile.

```

19917

```

To accompany God

On His universal Flight,

What we need is

The beauty of daily prayers

And the fragrance of daily meditations.

```

19918

```

When I live

Inside my heart’s thought-free zone,

God and His Promise-Power

Befriend me. ```

19919

```

O my mind,

God wanted you to be

A purity-distributor.

Alas, you have become

An impurity-collector

Instead. ```

19920

```

No matter how strong

The mind is,

It can never deceive

The aspiration-heart

Nor force the heart to deviate

From the path of light. ```

19921

```

If it is divinity’s silence-peace,

Then it can easily silence

The roaming and roaring mind.

```

19922

```

The beauty and fragrance

Of surrender-meditation

Have no equal.

Matchless they always remain. ```

19923

```

The mind

Is fond of success.

The heart

Is fond of progress.

The soul

Is fond of God-manifestation-promises. ```

19924

```

The power of world-meditation

Informs God

About the worldwide distrust

Of Him. ```

19925

```

The resentment of the mind

Quite often compels

The God-hungry heart to starve.

```

19926

```

Do not be a fool!

Your self-love has no wings.

It can never fly anywhere.

It can only remain

Inside its dark prison cell.

```

19927

```

If you run

With a God-revelation-sprinter,

Then easily

You will be able to leave for good

Your mind’s ignorance-neighbourhood.

```

19928

```

My heart’s

Confidence in God,

My heart’s

Conference with God,

Even my heart’s

Inference of God

Can definitely help me

To cross far beyond

All my doubt-obstacles.

```

19929

```

My soul is telling my heart

To bravely face the mind-storm.

The mind-storm is bound to subside.

```

19930

```

In your life-garden

Try to grow

As many aspiration-plants as possible,

For they will never produce

Frustration-fruits.

```

19931

```

Are you a fool?

Why are you enjoying

Your aspiration-famine

And self-hate-feast? ```

19932

```

If aspiration is missing,

Then hope will eventually split

Into a thousand pieces.

```

19933

```

Somehow, somewhere,

I always feel there are

Truth-seekers and God-lovers

Who will manifest God on earth

Lovingly, self-givingly and unconditionally.

```

19934

```

He who lives only in the heart

And only for his Lord Supreme

Can alone pave the way

For the rest of humanity. ```

19935

```

Our predecessors left us

Their blessing-light.

We must leave behind for our successors

Our aspiration-hearts. ```

19936

```

When aspiration disappears,

Life becomes

Its endless declining slopes.

```

19937

```

You can revive

Your pristine faith

By virtue of

Your heart’s childlike cries. ```

19938

```

Alas, will there ever come a time

When God will discover

Inside my heart

A precious and valuable possibility? ```

19939

```

It seems to me

That my soul’s forgiveness

Has no limit,

But its patience has. ```

19940

```

A life

Without an aspiration-heart

Is the very beginning

Of God-Satisfaction-famine. ```

19941

```

When your disobedience-strides

Are bold and indifferent,

Your heart sinks

In the sea of nowhere. ```

19942

```

This morning

I was simply amazed to see

That God was bathing

In my heart’s gratitude-tears. ```

19943

```

Doubt

Is the inner sovereign;

Pride

Is the outer sovereign

In our unaspiring life.

```

19944

```

When aspiration-bird flies away

From our heart-nest,

Our mind’s desire-tiger

Starts devouring us. ```

19945

```

My Lord,

What shall I do

To make myself happy?

“My child,

Walk beside Me,

Run with Me,

Cry and smile with Me

And for Me.” ```

19946

```

Each self-giving thought

Is indeed

A perfection-breath-promise

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

19947

```

The soul likes to talk to us

In our own voice,

So that we can be more understanding

And more self-giving. ```

19948

```

Each soul has its unique way

To spread God’s Light

Throughout the length and breadth

Of the world. ```

19949

```

A heart of peace

Has no equal

And will always remain

Unchallenged. ```

19950

```

When I come first in my life,

And not God,

There can be no room

For my self-improvement. ```

19951

```

Heaven

Is compassionate.

Earth

Is affectionate.

May my mind

Be always dispassionate. ```

19952

```

If you ever want to meet

Silence,

Then never ride,

Even by mistake,

The temptation-train.

```

19953

```

May my life be found

Inside my heart’s gratitude-flowers

And not inside

My mind’s ingratitude-thorns. ```

19954

```

Alas, why do you enjoy

Doubt-downpour

And not faith-sea

Inside your aspiration-heart? ```

19955

```

Each self-giving thought

Is indeed

A God-locating compass.

```

19956

```

O body,

How long do you want to remain

Inside your self-chosen lethargy-prison?

```

19957

```

May my happiness-heart

Decorate my life

With purity-flower-fragrance

Every day. ```

19958

```

If we do not follow

Our heart-guide,

Then our mind is bound to be flooded

With disappointment. ```

19959

```

The tears of my heart

Are too weak to receive

The smiles of my soul.

```

19960

```

You want to know

About my inner journey.

My inner journey,

Right from the beginning,

Is to my mind-transformation-land.

```

19961

```

May silence be

My mind’s constant companion.

May gratitude be

My heart’s constant companion.

May service be

My life’s constant companion. ```

19962

```

Doubt and hesitation

Are the two most deplorable experiences

In our human life.

```

19963

```

I have discovered in God

My perfection-smile.

God has discovered in me

His Promise-Blossom. ```

19964

```

Each disobedience-stride

Is leading us

To our unmistakable destruction.

```

19965

```

My surrender-heart

Has quickly paved my way

To my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And Protection-Feet. ```

19966

```

Not God’s Compassion-Eye

But God’s Forgiveness-Promise

Will watch over me always.

```

19967

```

Be careful,

O truth-seeker and God-lover.

Every day carefully watch

Your heart’s aspiration-plant

And do the needful,

For it can any day wither. ```

19968

```

The human life

Becomes not only meaningful

But also fruitful

Only when we sing

The deathless song

Of our aspiration-heart. ```

19969

```

An unaspiring day

Is nothing short of

A hollow emptiness-cry.

```

19970

```

A heart of devotion

Is a soul of satisfaction

In the fulfilment

Of God’s Promise on earth. ```

19971

```

Where is my heart’s peace-home?

Where is it?

How long can I remain

Inside the unfathomable sea

Of excruciating pangs?

```

19972

```

Doubt and suspicion

Always arrive unsolicited

And even unwelcomed.

```

19973

```

When I look at God’s Eye,

I clearly see

That His Eye is made of

Compassion-Sun.

When I look at God’s Heart,

I clearly see

That His Heart is made of

Forgiveness-Ocean. ```

19974

```

There are so many things

In this world

That drain my heart’s joy.

Yet I have no sincere eagerness

To dissociate my life

From them. ```

19975

```

Whatever

Our aspiration gives us

Is infinitely generous

And eternally free. ```

19976

```

Each good thought

Is an inner promise

To reach God’s ultimate Height.

```

19977

```

Which heart is the bravest?

Undoubtedly

The silence-flooded peace-heart

Is the bravest of all. ```

19978

```

God and God’s Compassion

May be invisible,

But they do not always remain

Unattainable. ```

19979

```

God’s Dream-lovers

Are those enlightened human beings

With an extraordinary

God-fulfilment-promise. ```

19980

```

Each human being has to transcend

The strong barriers of praise and scorn

To see the Face of God

And feel the Heart of God. ```

19981

```

The mind’s certainty

Is not only vulnerable

But also fragile.

```

19982

```

O suspicion-mind,

How do you dare

To confine the dream

Of a soaring heart? ```

19983

```

Nothing is as essential

As the fragrance

Of a God-manifestation-thought.

```

19984

```

Do not enter into the past

To solve today’s problems,

But enter into the silence-heart

Of the present.

Then all your problems will be solved.

```

19985

```

My heart of aspiration-tears

Will eventually prove to be

The source of my life’s

Satisfaction-sun. ```

19986

```

To make my heart’s

Aspiration-joy everlasting,

I try to keep an unbreakable link

With the inner worlds. ```

19987

```

Prayer and meditation

Are definitely two God-instruments.

Prayer manifests its divinity

Through cries.

Meditation manifests its divinity

Through smiles. ```

19988

```

No truth-seeker

And no God-lover

Can ever be lost

Once they have entered

Into the realm of aspiration.

```

19989

```

The thorns

Try to protect the rose.

The rose

Tries to liberate the thorns.

Similarly, fear

Tries to caution faith.

Faith

Tries to illumine fear. ```

19990

```

God will hear

Your mind-prayers

If they are sincere.

God will fulfil

Your heart-meditations

If they are pure. ```

19991

```

Sleepless love, breathless devotion

And deathless surrender

Are the secret and sacred combination

To my heart-safe. ```

19992

```

How I wish I could earn

A constant

God-obedience-certificate.

```

19993

```

It is absolutely certain

That ultimately

The ignorance-lover

And the ignorance-runner in me

Will collapse.

```

19994

```

I have discarded all my old desires

Except one:

To become an unconditional world-lover

And an unconditional man-server. ```

19995

```

We have been suffering

From ignorance-imperfection-illness

For millions of years.

Now God is descending

With His unconditional Love-Medicine

For our use. ```

19996

```

O my mind, how much longer

Can you lead a counterfeit life?

When will you allow simplicity

And sincerity

To enter into you?

```

19997

```

When inspiration knocks

At your mind-door,

If you delay in opening the door,

You are a fool.

When aspiration knocks

At your heart-door,

If you delay in opening the door,

You are worse than useless. ```

19998

```

Unlike us,

God does not believe in

Our life’s inspiration-famine.

He only believes in one thing:

Our heart’s inspiration-mountain.

```

19999

```

No other power,

Only purity’s oneness-power,

Can erase the deplorable

And even irrevocable past. ```

20000

```

Each soul

Is divinely special,

Each heart

Is divinely special,

Each life

Is divinely special

Only if we know

That we are growing into

An irresistible God-Satisfaction.
