Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 233

23201

```

At long last I have come to realise

That a resolute step is needed

To please my Lord Beloved Supreme

Always

In His own Way.

```

23202

```

The most appropriate use

Of my human will

Is to give it to God

Immediately. ```

23203

```

O truth-seeker and God-lover,

Never be afraid

To open your earth-bound mind —

Never!

Nothing precious will ever fall out,

But Divinity’s Light

Will enter into your life.

```

23204

```

My life’s humility

Is the only thing

That inspires God

To have faith in mankind. ```

23205

```

O my stupid heart,

I assure you once and for all

That you will easily be able to survive

The loss of your present dear friend,

Insecurity,

And his replacement by

An ever-inspiring and illumining security.

```

23206

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do take away my doubtful mind,

For at every moment

It is disappointing my hopeful soul. ```

23207

```

Without meditation

We see the body of things around us.

With meditation

We enter into the heart of everything

That is within us and around us.

```

23208

```

There is only one ultimate threat

To your spiritual life,

And that is your complete loss

Of faith in yourself. ```

23209

```

God does not want me to have

A heart sullied by sadness,

But a heart beautified by gladness.

```

23210

```

To accept the mind

As the captain of your life,

Is to plunge headlong

Into darkest darkness-abyss. ```

23211

```

My Lord, I do not want to live

In a world of ingratitude.

I want to live in a world

Of gratitude-forgiveness-delight. ```

23212

```

If you are indeed a God-warrior,

Then you must have an unshakable faith,

And that faith will be cherished

By God Himself. ```

23213

```

My Lord Supreme,

I wish to be

The volcano-determination

Of my champion-heart-life. ```

23214

```

Today I have become

A newborn aspiration-heart-rose

To please the divine in me

And fulfil my Lord Beloved Supreme in me. ```

23215

```

What I need is only

God’s Perfection-Glance

To increase the beauty

Of my aspiration

And the fragrance

Of my dedication. ```

23216

```

A faithful slave of God

Needs only one thing:

Sleepless and breathless

God-remembrance. ```

23217

```

I must not allow any setback

To threaten

My God-manifestation-dreams

On earth. ```

23218

```

My God-gratitude-teardrop

Has awakened

Not only my hope-heart

But also my promise-life. ```

23219

```

I do not need a caravan of dreams

But just one single vision

Of my Lord Supreme

To manifest Him here on earth

Lovingly and self-givingly.

```

23220

```

O God the infinite Beauty,

Do come and feed

My lotus-heart.

```

23221

```

O my aspiration-heart,

How is it that you are not celebrating

Your faster than the fastest

Aspiration-ascent? ```

23222

```

I clearly see

That my God-willingness-heart

Is flooded

With earth-illumining energy. ```

23223

```

My Lord Supreme,

I know You have many ways

To protect my life and save my heart,

But I would like

Your Compassion-Eye-Smile

To protect my life, save my heart

And fulfil my dream

Of Your total manifestation here on earth. ```

23224

```

My Lord Supreme,

I know I am not right now

On Your Satisfaction-List,

But do keep me at least

On Your Compassion-List

Unconditionally. ```

23225

```

O my mind,

O my vital,

O my body,

I assure you that there is

Plenty of room for you all

In my heart-home. ```

23226

```

I shall always remain undaunted

By my aspiration-failure,

For God Himself has told me

That I shall and I must succeed eventually

In pleasing Him in His own Way.

```

23227

```

The world asks me what I do

Day and night.

I tell the world smilingly, lovingly

And proudly:

“I fly and fly and fly

On the wings of my Master-Bird.” ```

23228

```

O my soul,

Do bless me with your inspiration-rain

So that I can be victorious

In extinguishing my mind’s ignorance-fire. ```

23229

```

I have not come into the world

To tax God’s Patience.

I have come into the world

To pray to God to bless me

With His Infinity’s Patience-Light

So that I can serve Him constantly

In His own creation

In His own Way. ```

23230

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I am not complaining to You

About my mind,

But I am praying to You to bless me

With a new mind

That will always remain a perfect stranger

To self-doubt and insecurity.

```

23231

```

O my jasmine-crowned purity-heart,

I am not asking you how you are,

But I am asking you where you are,

Where you are. ```

23232

```

I have decided to destroy

My life’s God-unwillingness-stories.

Now I am composing only

God-willingness-heart-songs. ```

23233

```

No matter how inadequate

My aspiration and my dedication

Are right now,

I do know that there shall come a time

When my life and my heart will be inundated

With aspiration and dedication,

And that golden day is fast approaching.

```

23234

```

My God-obedience-heart

Is always thrilled

When I please God

And make Him happy. ```

23235

```

God never wants to be familiar

With my mind’s impurity,

My heart’s insecurity

And my life’s unwillingness. ```

23236

```

God finds it a big joke when I say

That it is simply impossible for me

To please God in God’s own Way.

```

23237

```

In my heart-life

There is a beautiful garden

That exists only

To make the world and God

Really and truly happy.

```

23238

```

O my surrender-life,

For you to reach the fulness

Of your life’s God-ripeness,

You must shed sleepless tears. ```

23239

```

It is high time for me

To close my mind-door,

And at the same time

To unreservedly and unconditionally open

My heart-door

For God the Light to enter

And start singing, running and playing.

```

23240

```

I may not know whether

God’s Compassion-Eye

Permeates my entire life,

But I do know that

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Permeates my entire life

To help me rise high, higher, highest

For His own Satisfaction-Delight. ```

23241

```

God does not want me

To waste even a fleeting second

Trying to know the future

Of the whole human race.

He wants me to spend my time,

Day and night,

Only inspiring the human race

With my own aspiration-heart. ```

23242

```

Today my heart’s hope in God

And my life’s promise to God

Are being nurtured

By God Himself. ```

23243

```

O my doubting mind,

I shall never, never allow you

To invade

My heart’s peace-shore. ```

23244

```

God came and saw

That I was unwilling to offer Him

My unwillingness-mind.

Yet He has accepted the challenge

To transform

My mind’s unwillingness-thorn

Into my heart’s willingness-rose.

```

23245

```

Centuries and ages will come and go,

But I shall never swerve from the path

Of my God-treasuring and God-cherishing life.

```

23246

```

My body, my vital and my mind

Are thrilled by God’s Presence,

But my heart is thrilled

By God’s very Name. ```

23247

```

My mind was created by me,

But my heart was created by God Himself

To love Him and please Him

At every moment in His own Way. ```

23248

```

I am so happy to learn

That peace is all ready

To escort me wherever I go.

```

23249

```

I have given my soul

My full approval

To destroy ruthlessly

My desire-bound mind. ```

23250

```

My Lord Supreme,

I have only one prayer to You:

Please do not allow

My forgotten insecurities and fears

To return.

```

23251

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That if I know how to cry

Only for Him,

Then He will bless me

With a rainbow of ecstasy.

```

23252

```

I have prayed and prayed to God

To give me the capacity

To rediscover my child-heart,

And now God says to me: “Amen.” ```

23253

```

O my unwillingness-mind,

You have dominated my heart

For a long time.

Now be careful!

My all-illumining soul

Is coming to my heart’s rescue. ```

23254

```

God does not care to know

Whether my mind is satisfied or not,

But He always watches my heart

To see if it is satisfied. ```

23255

```

I have seen many pathways,

And I have heard of many pathways.

I now want only the pathway

That is solely God’s. ```

23256

```

I have not come into the world

To dress my mind

For the world-beauty-contest.

I have come into the world

To feed my heart

With God’s Silence, Peace, Light and Delight. ```

23257

```

I need only a heart that can walk

Side by side with my soul

To arrive at my God-Destination.

```

23258

```

I do not want my prayers to grow

In my mind-jungle.

I do not want my prayers to grow

Even in my heart-garden.

I want my prayers to grow and glow,

Flow and soar and dive

Only in my Lord’s Heart-Garden.

```

23259

```

An ancient darkness has shattered

The world’s peace.

A birthless and deathless Light

Is giving birth to an all-illumining,

World-fulfilling peace.

```

23260

```

O my unaspiring mind,

When are you going to be

Completely exhausted

By endless despair-journeys?

Can you not see that God

The infinite Compassion

Is whispering and beckoning to you

To follow and obey, obey and follow

The Blessing-Light

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme? ```

23261

```

To peace

And only to God’s dearest child,

Peace,

I want my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Together to turn. ```

23262

```

Day and night I am praying

To my Lord Supreme

Only for one thing:

To nurture my heart’s peace-garden. ```

23263

```

O Lord Buddha,

In the Heart of our Beloved Supreme

You have come to me today

With a golden shower of Grace

To please my Lord Supreme

Constantly in His own Way. ```

23264

```

Today I have come to realise

That the seed of every virtue

That I have

Is founded upon my sleepless

God-satisfaction-quest.

```

23265

```

God is stretching His loving Hands

Over my present aspiration-life.

God will be stretching His smiling Eyes

Over my future dedication-life. ```

23266

```

I have to make a choice here and now

Either to revert back to my ignorance-sleep,

Or to evolve upward

High, higher, highest.

Since I am not a fool,

Sleeplessly my heart and I shall evolve

And climb

To reach the Satisfaction-Feet

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

23267

```

Finally I see

That my God-surrender-heart

Has created a feast of joy for God.

```

23268

```

With my mind-stories

I try to please God.

But He tells me that

He will never be satisfied

With my mind-stories.

He will be satisfied

With my heart-songs only.

```

23269

```

My Lord, I shall not allow my heart

To sink any more.

I shall only help my heart

To fly and fly evermore. ```

23270

```

God has whispered into my ears

A great secret:

I shall have a new devotion

And a new surrender

To love Him and please Him.

```

23271

```

This morning

I sang the song of my life,

And this song God Himself

Came down to teach me. ```

23272

```

Not my mind,

Not my heart,

But only my soul

Is the most prominent authority

On the subject of peace.

```

23273

```

There is only one

Dauntless God-pilgrim,

And that God-pilgrim is peace.

Peace strides on

And never looks around.

```

23274

```

We have enjoyed many train-journeys

On earth.

But God’s Peace-Train,

Not only in speed

But also in happiness,

Will forever remain unparalleled. ```

23275

```

My mind always tries to see

If God is in a good mood

So that it can beg God

For its desire-fulfilment. ```

23276

```

An utterly foolish thing to say:

“I do not need God.”

An utterly foolish thing to do:

To stop my oneness-dance

With the will of my soul.

```

23277

```

God is seriously annoyed

At my constant

God-unwillingness-mind.

```

23278

```

If I am sincere in my aspiration,

Then God will help me find a way

To reach Him

Even through my mind’s densest forest. ```

23279

```

O my heart,

A little more patience

Is what you need

To win the beauty and divinity

Of your soul.

```

23280

```

Dearer than joy

Is peace.

Dearer than peace

Is God-Satisfaction. ```

23281

```

The dreams of poets

Deal with God the future Light.

The visions of God-lovers

Deal with God’s birthless

And deathless Delight.

```

23282

```

Each hour whispers as it passes:

“Alas, is the world ready for God?

Alas, will the world ever be ready for God?”

```

23283

```

Yes, I do stumble,

But I am absolutely confident

I shall not permanently fail.

I shall definitely succeed

At God’s choice Hour.

```

23284

```

My mind has made

Many complaints to God

Against the world.

God tells my mind

That no complaints will ever be able

To make the dark day of the world bright.

But if the mind unconditionally surrenders

To God’s Will,

That will make the world

Brighter than the brightest. ```

23285

```

God does not believe

Even for a fleeting second

That I shall give up my spiritual life,

The only real life,

To make friends once more

With long-forgotten ignorance-night. ```

23286

```

My mind asks God

An infinity of questions.

God never cares to answer

Even one question of my mind. ```

23287

```

Each time I tell God

That I love Him only,

It immediately draws an all-loving,

All-illumining and all-embracing

Smile from God.

```

23288

```

God loves to quote

The well-known proverb:

“Man proposes,

God disposes.” ```

23289

```

O my mind,

I shall not allow you

To disturb my heart’s integrity any more

With your narrowness, haughtiness

And cleverness.

```

23290

```

Each time I meditate soulfully,

A diamond-beauty’s dawn

Beckons me.

```

23291

```

Each time I soulfully pray,

God blesses me with the capacity

To walk in silence with peace

Mile after mile. ```

23292

```

As my mind’s ignorance

Is devoted to the devil,

Even so, my heart’s wisdom

Is devoted only to the Supreme Pilot

Of my life-boat.

```

23293

```

I ask my Lord Supreme:

“When do You want

My unconditional surrender?

Do You want it now?”

My Lord Beloved Supreme answers:

“Yes, and yes a thousand times.” ```

23294

```

Consciously, deliberately and ruthlessly

If I ignore the dictates of my soul,

Then, alas,

Neither punishment from God

Nor punishment from my soul

Can ever be avoided. ```

23295

```

The mind thinks that God’s choice Hour

Can and must come and repeat itself

Ad infinitum.

The heart feels that God’s choice Hour

Can strike only a few times

In the entire span of a life.

But the soul sees and knows

That God’s Hour strikes only once,

And never, never twice.

```

23296

```

Today I have come to learn

That my God-gratitude-heart’s

Most dangerous enemy

Is my constant

God-fulfilment-unwillingness-mind.

```

23297

```

Today my Lord Supreme

Entered into my mind

To shake my mind’s

Giant unwillingness-banyan tree.

Therefore, my heart and I are inundated

With Infinity’s Bliss. ```

23298

```

The mind has to wait a long, long time

For God’s return.

The heart does not have to wait

For God’s return,

For God has never left the heart.

```

23299

```

For constant God-necessity,

What I need is a purity-heart’s

Simplicity-life.

```

23300

```

O my Lord Supreme,

If You want to conceal Your Greatness,

Do conceal it.

But never, never conceal Your Goodness,

For Your Goodness is my upward

Heaven-climbing journey’s sleepless breath. ```
