Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 211

21001

```

Ignorance is defeating

World-aspiration,

But eventually world-aspiration

Will win the race. ```

21002

```

God has countless Heart-Doors.

A seeker always takes

His Compassion-Heart-Door.

```

21003

```

God has given us life

To enjoy divinely

And not to destroy ruthlessly.

```

21004

```

The mind’s illusion-thief

Will not be able

To escape and hide forever.

```

21005

```

O seeker, your blind pride

Has made you a perfect stranger

To God’s Compassion.

```

21006

```

A purity-heart has the capacity

To fly at the speed

Of a sweet dream.

```

21007

```

Do you know why

You are suffering so much?

You are suffering so much

Because you have failed

To guard the door of your mind.

```

21008

```

You are beautiful, more beautiful,

Most beautiful

Only when you join your soul

In dancing

In God’s Heart-Garden.

```

21009

```

If your life is dominated

By doubt,

Then faith is helpless

To change the course

Of your life.

```

21010

```

When disobedience shakes hands

With your life

And embraces your heart,

We see the express arrival

Of total doom.

```

21011

```

Cheerful sincerity

Has to dawn

In your inner life

If you really want

To succeed and proceed

In your aspiration-cry

And dedication-smile.

```

21012

```

Every morning pray to God

To help you discover

The God-dreamer-child

In your heart-flower. ```

21013

```

The self-indulgence

Of ingratitude

Has covered the length and breadth

Of the world. ```

21014

```

Be aware of disobedience-torture.

Then only you will be able

To obey God and fulfil God

In His own Way. ```

21015

```

The remedy for all earth-ailments

Is a conscious, constant

Heart-cry.

```

21016

```

There cannot be anything

As uninspiring and unaspiring

As conscious self-deception.

```

21017

```

My life is so sweetly,

Blessingfully and compassionately

Touched by the Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

21018

```

The dreamer in you

Will remain awake

Only when it hears

The melodious songs

Of God-lovers on earth.

```

21019

```

God most compassionately waits

For each and every

Triumphant ascent

Of the genuine seeker. ```

21020

```

Your life-plant

And your heart-rose

Are chosen by God Himself.

```

21021

```

Do not cast your suspicion-net.

You will be ruthlessly ridiculed

By the entire world.

```

21022

```

Alas,

God is struggling

And suffering so much

To keep my stupid mind happy! ```

21023

```

Heaven sings in my heart.

God Himself sings in my heart.

But alas, where is my ear?

Where is my vision? ```

21024

```

My soul will never accept

Permanent defeat.

It will surcharge

My searching mind

And my aspiring heart

With its infinite light and delight. ```

21025

```

O my life-tree,

I want the whole world to enjoy

Your strongest branches

And not your tiniest twigs. ```

21026

```

The soul’s only tragedy

Is the seeker’s

Failure-life.

```

21027

```

Until you are willing

To accept God

In God’s own Way,

You can never be truly happy. ```

21028

```

I know my prayers will never

Change God’s Mind,

But God’s Mind can and will

Change my prayers. ```

21029

```

Is there any human being

Who does not keep God waiting

Indefinitely?

```

21030

```

The difference between

The Creator and the creation is this:

The creation is a universal cry;

The Creator is a transcendental Smile. ```

21031

```

Prompted by our utter stupidity,

We always think of giving God

A surprise.

But do we not know

That God Himself

Is the only Surprise? ```

21032

```

Disobedience is lustreless.

Disobedience is soulless.

Disobedience eventually becomes

Hopelessly helpless. ```

21033

```

Disobedience has to be

Kept under control

If we hope to live

A self-disciplined life. ```

21034

```

Unseen and unappreciated,

God’s Silence-Fulfilment-Tree

Spreads everywhere.

```

21035

```

God does not believe

In staying alone.

He always enjoys the company

Of self-giving souls. ```

21036

```

May the beauty of our prayer

And fragrance of our meditation

Increase with our daily

Blossoming faith-strength. ```

21037

```

Patience in the presence

Of teeming obstacles

Is the only way

To surprisingly succeed in life. ```

21038

```

When truth and falsehood

Quarrel and fight,

Falsehood always loses.

```

21039

```

If you are supremely strong

In your inner life,

It is advisable to know the worst,

So that you can prepare yourself

For the best.

```

21040

```

Twice I am totally puzzled:

Once when I see the weakness

Of humanity

And once when I see the greatness

Of humanity.

```

21041

```

God secretly tells me

That nothing can ever be useless

In His creation-vision-world.

“Uselessness” is not to be found

In God’s Heart-Dictionary.

```

21042

```

I cannot understand

How you can be

Helplessly and willingly blind

While walking along

God-realisation-road.

```

21043

```

I always long to study

In the school

Of truth-sublimity

And God-necessity. ```

21044

```

As long as we believe others

To be equally sincere, good

And promising,

We shall not suffer from

The weakness of division-night.

```

21045

```

Supreme,

You have shown me Your golden Boat.

You have shown me Your golden Face.

Please tell me when

You will show me Your golden Feet.

```

21046

```

Your slow attempt

At self-improvement

Is compelling your soul

To shed bitter tears. ```

21047

```

From God’s point of view,

You are not consciously, self-givingly,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

Trying to be another God. ```

21048

```

God tells me that

The only indispensable thing

In life I need

Is an unconditionally surrendered

Heart-smile.

```

21049

```

Each spiritual Master

Has his inner reasons

Why he deals with each individual

In a totally different way. ```

21050

```

O seeker,

Do you know what you have become?

You have become a slave

To your demands,

And God has become a slave

To His own Forgiveness. ```

21051

```

Whenever I dream of God’s Love,

I become

A rising God-hunger-wave.

```

21052

```

Whether you want to or not,

There shall come a time

When you will be bound to observe

The ultimate demise

Of your doubting mind.

```

21053

```

Disobedience is nothing other than

A paralytic stroke

In the spiritual life.

```

21054

```

A God-blessed aspiration-runner

Will not be a victim

To doubt-injuries.

```

21055

```

On the aspiration-road

Always follow

Devotion-fragrance-signs.

```

21056

```

Division-trees will without fail

Be uprooted from the God-Garden

By God Himself.

```

21057

```

Your once-a-day

Prayer-meditation session

Can never be enough

To expedite

Your Heavenward journey.

```

21058

```

Always be on the alert!

Your heart’s aspiration-treasure

Can be stolen

By your mind’s desire-thief. ```

21059

```

Whatever opposes God’s Will

Will eventually surrender,

For God’s Will is Infinity’s

Omnipotence. ```

21060

```

If you want to surprise God,

Then obey Him all the time

And not just when

It suits your purpose. ```

21061

```

If you do not want

To serve God,

How do you expect God

To feed you? ```

21062

```

Do not be so stupid!

It is you who are rejecting

Deliberately

God the Compassion

And God the Illumination.

```

21063

```

I am absolutely sure

That before long,

Mine will be

A God-pleasing life. ```

21064

```

To silence the forces

Of ignorance-titan,

I shall dare to love God

Devotedly and unconditionally. ```

21065

```

If you want to win God’s Heart,

Love God spontaneously

And serve God willingly.

```

21066

```

You have not lost anything —

On the contrary,

You have got everything —

By losing your desire-life. ```

21067

```

Compassion-Light has not succeeded,

But I am sure Justice-Light

Will without fail succeed!

```

21068

```

My Lord,

Just end the era of Your Compassion!

What I need is Your Justice

To turn me into

A good citizen of the world.

```

21069

```

Alas, I do not know how

I shall ever find my way back

To my Lord’s Favour

If I continue hurting

His Compassion-Heart.

```

21070

```

My Lord,

I have not come into the world

To hide my mind’s faults.

I have come into the world

To expose my mind’s faults

And reveal my heart’s

God-satisfaction-willingness

And eagerness. ```

21071

```

You can close your eyes

To reality’s body,

But you can never close your eyes

To reality’s heart. ```

21072

```

Wherever he,

Along with his aspiration-cries,

Goes,

Heaven and Heaven’s Satisfaction-Smile

Follow.

```

21073

```

I want to remain owned always

By my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart.

```

21074

```

To serve God is not only

To please God and to fulfil God,

But eventually to become God.

```

21075

```

Disobedience-road leads us

Nowhere.

Obedience-road shows us

The satisfaction-goal

Everywhere.

```

21076

```

O obedience,

You have made my eyes beautiful,

You have made my heart pure,

You have made my breath self-giving,

You have made my mind clear.

```

21077

```

As the world will manage nicely

Without me,

Even so, I shall manage my life wisely

Without the world. ```

21078

```

My gratitude is worthless

If there is no abiding God-faith

In my gratitude.

My surrender is useless

If there is no abiding God-faith

In my surrender. ```

21079

```

You do not have to fly

To the blue-vast sky.

The blue-vast sky will enter into you

If you turn your mind into a silence-home. ```

21080

```

My Lord, I implore You

Not to make me happy

In my own way,

But to make me perfect

In Your own Way.

```

21081

```

O seeker, if you do not want

To believe in your crying heart,

At least believe in

Your illumining soul. ```

21082

```

The living breath

Of my real existence

Is my Lord’s Compassion-Rain.

```

21083

```

I came into the world

To make my Lord Supreme happy.

Alas, what am I doing?

I am desperately trying

To make myself happy!

```

21084

```

People become infinitely more jealous

When you climb up

The ladder of success

Than when you climb up

The ladder of progress.

```

21085

```

My simple but urgent

Request to God

Is not to fulfil

Any desire of mine

Whatsoever!

```

21086

```

The only indispensable thing

In my life

Is my ceaseless attempt at

Perfection. ```

21087

```

Since you cannot fathom

Your Master’s heart,

It is good for you to remain silent

And not to ask him the reason

He does things in an unusual way.

```

21088

```

Who can prevent you from thinking

The right thing,

If not your mind?

Who can prevent you from doing

The wrong thing,

If not your heart? ```

21089

```

You should not delay

When the gates of the aspiration-world

Beckon you!

```

21090

```

When self-transcendence becomes

Your conscious choice,

The door of delight

Will welcome you. ```

21091

```

Who is a favourite instrument of God?

He who is totally

And sleeplessly satisfied

With God’s divine Operation

In and through him.

```

21092

```

Who is a favourite instrument of God?

He who claims God sleeplessly

As his own,

No matter what he does

Or who he is.

```

21093

```

If you walk along

The desert-road of self-doubt,

How can you ever dare

To be really happy? ```

21094

```

You only want the money-god

To please you.

Since the Heart-God you do not want,

How can you expect anything

From the Heart-God?

```

21095

```

Who knows what God’s Plan is?

He may use failure

To awaken your heart more fully.

```

21096

```

When I pray to God,

His Presence I feel in my heart.

When I meditate on God,

He participates with me

In all my activities.

```

21097

```

Just because the soul does not want

To tell you everything

For its own special reason,

Do not think that the soul

Does not know everything!

```

21098

```

The joy of silence

Is the joy we get

From our breathless self-offering.

```

21099

```

Nothing disturbs God,

But if I can do the thing

That will gladden God’s Heart,

Then why do I have to do the thing

That saddens God?

```

21100

```

Mine is a hallowed heart-temple.

Here I sing,

Here I pray,

Here I meditate,

And here in silence I converse

With my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```
