Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 232

23101

```

My heart’s devotion

Every day carries my life

To the Feet of my Beloved Supreme.

```

23102

```

Our aspiring gratitude-heart

Always expands

As it rises.

```

23103

```

Peace

Will not take “No” for an answer

From the mind.

```

23104

```

God the Compassion

Sleeplessly keeps His Eye

On everything

That we say and do. ```

23105

```

Once we become seekers,

We must take each day

As a one-time opportunity

To realise and please God. ```

23106

```

Each smiling heart

Embodies

A God-willingness-breath.

```

23107

```

When my mind started searching

For God,

God immediately heaved a sigh

Of relief. ```

23108

```

My heart wants to be claimed

Only by my Lord’s

Compassion-Eye.

```

23109

```

I want to be a conqueror

Of my ego

And a perfect slave

Of my soul. ```

23110

```

There was a time

When I used to weep

A river of tears,

But not now.

Why?

Because God’s golden Smiles

Have enveloped my entire being.

```

23111

```

A beautiful heart-garden

Is a blessingful message

From the Lord Supreme.

```

23112

```

Every day

My soul is secretly and openly

Helping my heart

To expel my mind’s

Doubt-ghosts.

```

23113

```

A seeker’s self-giving life

To God

Can never grow old.

```

23114

```

Love in measureless measure

Results in

Universal oneness.

```

23115

```

The soulful music

Of the heart

Is the voice

Of divinity’s perfection. ```

23116

```

Only a life of surrender

Can sit

On the throne of tranquillity.

```

23117

```

We treasure

The power of independence.

God treasures

The power of interdependence. ```

23118

```

My soul does not use

A loud voice.

It always speaks

In whispers. ```

23119

```

The fragrance

Of a gratitude-heart-blossom

Is unparalleled

In running the fastest

To God’s Kingdom.

```

23120

```

The oneness

Of aspiring hearts

Embodies and reveals

The most haunting illumination-melody. ```

23121

```

True God-seekers

Are Heaven-pilgrim-souls

That throng before

God’s Lotus-Feet. ```

23122

```

The difference between

Detachment and indifference

Is this:

Indifference blinds us;

Detachment illumines us.

```

23123

```

My life’s happiest moments

Are those

When I am blessed

With brief glimpses

Of my Lord’s Smile.

```

23124

```

If you do not forgive and forget

Your past unhealthy experiences,

God will not be able to bless you

With His Enthusiasm-Dynamism. ```

23125

```

When courage is founded

Upon oneness-love,

We can challenge the pride

Of ignorance-night. ```

23126

```

May my entire day be blessed

With the unparalleled beauty

Of the morning’s rising sun!

```

23127

```

How do we regain

Our long-lost divinity?

Only through constant

God-obedience-willingness

And eagerness.

```

23128

```

Each time I have

A God-surrendering thought,

I immediately multiply

My heart’s goodness. ```

23129

```

O seeker, be patient!

Sooner or later

You will definitely reach

Your sunlit aspiration-summit. ```

23130

```

My Lord,

The moment You smile at me,

My heart and I fly

A million miles above

This sorrow-filled earth.

```

23131

```

Do not cut down the mind,

But cut down the thick mind-forest

If you want to be divinely wise.

```

23132

```

If you want to live

In the world of peace,

Then keep tomorrow’s thoughts

For tomorrow. ```

23133

```

He who is master

Of his thoughts

Is indeed the president

Of the universe. ```

23134

```

If you want constant happiness,

Then every day

Enlarge the circle of your love.

```

23135

```

When we dive deep within,

We definitely can hear

The whispers of Infinity.

```

23136

```

The simplest, the easiest

And the most effective way

To achieve God-realisation

Is to breathe the very breath

Of unconditional surrender.

```

23137

```

My crying heart

And my surrendering life

Have reawakened

My God-oneness-cry. ```

23138

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I look and look

For Your Compassion-Eye

Inside my heart,

But alas,

It is not to be found there. ```

23139

```

God is unable

To keep back His Tears

When I doubt

My God-fulfilment-capacity. ```

23140

```

There is only one thing I cherish

At every moment,

And that is my tearful heart.

```

23141

```

Just go to God and give Him

What you have:

Your heart’s cry.

God will immediately give you

What He has for you:

His Infinity’s Smile. ```

23142

```

Love God

According to your limited capacity.

He will give you unlimited opportunities

To multiply your capacity. ```

23143

```

You are wrong when you think

The child inside you — your soul —

Has no power.

The soul has power

Far beyond your imagination.

But it uses its power

Only to please God

In God’s own Way. ```

23144

```

It is never too late to start doing

The right thing.

You definitely can once again love and please

Your Beloved Lord Supreme. ```

23145

```

If you really want to see God smiling,

Then start doing the right thing

And becoming the right person

At this very moment. ```

23146

```

It is you who have to decide

Whether you want to be

A supremely chosen instrument

Of God

Or a willing instrument

Of ignorance-king. ```

23147

```

The harder the battle is,

The more faith God will have in us

When He sees we are winning

On the battlefield of life. ```

23148

```

God tells me

He does not want me to prove

My capacity.

He only wants me not to miss any opportunity

To love Him and please Him

In His own Way. ```

23149

```

Do not feel

You are doomed to disappointment,

Although your spiritual life

Has been a dry desert for years.

The golden days shall beckon you

Once again.

What you need is patience

And loving determination. ```

23150

```

You feel fear

Only when you doubt yourself

And doubt your own spiritual life.

Just identify yourself

With something higher and deeper.

Lo and behold,

Fear is nowhere to be found.

```

23151

```

Following a spiritual Master

Is like walking with someone

Who is infinitely stronger than you

And is always ready to help you

And make you happy in a divine way.

```

23152

```

Manifestation is divine

And manifestation is perfect

Only if it is done

With the heart’s self-giving smile. ```

23153

```

At every moment

We have to feel our oneness

With humanity

If we want to be loved and embraced

By the universal Light.

```

23154

```

Alas, countless times

You are bringing thorns to the Supreme

By criticising mercilessly

Those who are trying to give Him roses. ```

23155

```

To make God really happy,

What your body needs

Is strength,

What your vital needs

Is dynamism,

What your mind needs

Is clarity,

What your heart needs

Is eagerness.

```

23156

```

Daily appreciate the beauty

Of your heart’s forgiveness-flowers

And your life’s tolerance-fruits.

```

23157

```

Just as unaspiring, negative

And doubt-filled thoughts

Separate you from God,

Even so, aspiring, positive

And faith-blossoming feelings

Take you speedily to God. ```

23158

```

May my mind, like my heart,

Be always eager

To place everything it has and is

At the Feet of my Lord Supreme. ```

23159

```

Bring your best to the fore

And keep it there.

You will unmistakably see

How close you are to God. ```

23160

```

God will definitely take care of you

And make you a happiness-king

If you just love your heart

Infinitely more than you do now. ```

23161

```

If you pray to God sincerely,

Is there anything

He cannot and will not

Do for you? ```

23162

```

You are bound to feel God’s Love

Infinitely more

If you love Him, not in theory,

But in practical reality’s intensity. ```

23163

```

My Lord,

This is my very special prayer to You:

Do give me the capacity every day

To offer You a new gratitude-heart. ```

23164

```

O seeker,

Why do you give God

Your worst possible spiritual defeat

When you have the capacity to give Him

Your supremely glorious victory?

```

23165

```

Today imagine

That God loves you

And God needs you.

Tomorrow you will see

That your imagination was nothing more

Than a reality unblossomed. ```

23166

```

Do not worry about the future.

The present moment is heavy enough

For you to carry.

How do you know that tomorrow

A bright and illumining dawn

Will not invite you? ```

23167

```

God wants you constantly to cherish

Your own aspiration

Exactly the way He enjoys

His own Satisfaction. ```

23168

```

You are bound to make progress

And make yourself really happy

If you take spirituality

As your real and only life. ```

23169

```

Only when we dive deep within

And meditate self-givingly

Does the cosmic sound reverberate

In our heart’s aspiration-sky. ```

23170

```

God gives you the beauty

Of aspiration

To love Him.

God gives you the fragrance

Of dedication

To manifest Him. ```

23171

```

My God-surrender-blossoms

God Himself places

On His own Satisfaction-Heart-Shrine.

```

23172

```

Every day we must bring to the fore

The roaring lion in us

And manifest the divine Light,

To transform the face and fate

Of mankind.

```

23173

```

God always watches

Our heart-hunger

And, according to our heart-hunger,

His Compassion-Eye feeds us. ```

23174

```

God begs us for two things:

To give Him the opportunity

And the certainty

Of remaining permanently

Inside our life-breath.

```

23175

```

God does what He has to do:

He keeps us inside His Heart.

Unfortunately, we do not keep Him

Where He is supposed to be:

Inside our own heart.

```

23176

```

Just try always

To see God’s Nectar-Smile.

Then, along your aspiration-road,

No wrong committed by you

Can seriously discourage you.

Dauntlessly you will run

Towards your destined goal.

```

23177

```

God is asking you to consider

Only three questions from Him

About your inner life:

In how many ways have you loved God?

In how many ways have you served God?

In how many ways have you fulfilled God

Over the years?

```

23178

```

Remember this once and for all:

Your heart’s gratitude-smile

Has the fastest speed

To reach Infinity’s Golden Shore. ```

23179

```

Do not think of how many times

You have disappointed God.

Only think of one thing:

Do you still love God?

If so, make a fresh attempt.

Lo, you have won the Goal. ```

23180

```

The human in you does not dare

To claim the divine in you.

The divine in you not only claims

The human in you,

But also helps the human in you

To enter into Infinity’s Peace-Sea. ```

23181

```

God the Creator

Loves you.

God the creation

Needs you.

To God the Creator

Give your heart.

To God the creation

Give your life. ```

23182

```

Happiness is radiating on your face

From your heart.

Do you know why?

Because you have pleased God

In His own Way today,

And because you will please Him

Infinitely more tomorrow.

```

23183

```

God feels His Presence

Inside your heart.

God feels your presence

Inside His Heart.

Therefore, He is happy.

If you want to be happy,

Then bring God and keep God

Inside your mind. ```

23184

```

Do you want to know

The Will of God?

Then do two things:

Become and remain

Your heart’s streaming tears.

You do not have to strive

To know the Will of God.

Your soul on its own will tell you

What God’s Will is.

Your soul wants and needs from you

Only one thing:

An ever-deepening meditation. ```

23185

```

We all need fulfilment.

Therefore, why do we hesitate

To go to the right person

Who is all eagerness to bless us

With fulfilment?

Who is the right person?

None other than your own highest self!

```

23186

```

If you are true to yourself,

Only then will God remain

Your Eternity’s only Boss.

```

23187

```

Whom can we obey?

Our Lord Beloved Supreme.

How can we obey Him?

Just by sleeplessly listening

To the dictates of our soul,

The direct representative of God. ```

23188

```

Real happiness can be found

Only in the world of dynamic

And self-giving activities.

```

23189

```

Our outer beauty

Feeds our eyes.

Our inner beauty

Feeds our Lord Supreme. ```

23190

```

God’s greatest Blessing-Light

To man

Is a sleepless hunger

For God-satisfaction. ```

23191

```

I need a heart-cry

That will be satisfied

Only with an eternal God-union

And not with just a long-term God-union. ```

23192

```

O my heart,

Do not be discouraged.

God and God’s Compassion-Eye

Will not be able to hide from you

Forever.

```

23193

```

He is unfortunate

Who descends from aspiration-tree.

But he who descends

From aspiration-tree

And does not recognise his descent

Is infinitely more unfortunate. ```

23194

```

I cry and smile.

I cry astonishingly

When I enter into the human mind.

I smile ceaselessly

When I enter into the human heart.

```

23195

```

To my extreme joy

My heart-tears

Are nourishing

My life-blossoms. ```

23196

```

If you choose your soul

Instead of anything else,

Only then will your suffering life’s cries

Come to an end. ```

23197

```

Yesterday

I was on my Lord’s

Forgiveness-List.

Today

I am on my Lord’s

Compassion-List.

Tomorrow

I shall be on my Lord’s

Satisfaction-List.

```

23198

```

God tells me

That there is no difference

Between

My heart’s breathless cries

And His Eye’s sleepless Smiles.

```

23199

```

Today

We painfully call it

Humiliation.

Tomorrow

We shall call that very thing

Illumination.

```

23200

```

Life is God’s Universal Game.

The seekers join God’s side

And play along with Him

Against the undivine and unlit forces.

God’s side, without fail,

Will eventually win. ```
