Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 234

23301

```

What I desperately need:

A life that never stops

Self-giving.

```

23302

```

When we are in our confusion-mind,

We are totally lost

In our life’s blind and endless struggles.

```

23303

```

Only the heart’s mounting cry

Can hear the Heavenly music

That echoes and re-echoes

In our heart-garden. ```

23304

```

The unaspiring mind

Is a self-appointed

World-saviour.

The aspiring heart

Is a God-appointed

World-server. ```

23305

```

I may not know when

My God-Hour will strike,

But I do know

That someday, somehow, somewhere

My God-Hour will strike,

And I shall be free, totally free

From my ignorance-bondage-night.

```

23306

```

Humility

Is our heart’s sweet fragrance,

And this fragrance

Spreads tranquillity and peace

Everywhere.

```

23307

```

Eternity’s Divinity

And Eternity’s Perfection

Abide in the home of Silence.

```

23308

```

Because we ignore

God’s Warning-Whispers,

We cannot see the new dawn,

We cannot feel the new awakening,

We cannot proceed towards our Source,

The Golden Shore of the Beyond. ```

23309

```

Each time I offer my gratitude-heart

To my Lord Beloved Supreme,

I immediately win a one-way trip

To celestial happiness. ```

23310

```

May the word “gratitude”

Be found on every page

Of my heart-book.

```

23311

```

There are millions of ways

To approach God’s Heart,

But the easiest and shortest way

Is the cheerful, self-giving,

Sleepless devotion-way.

```

23312

```

Simplicity, sincerity, readiness,

Eagerness and willingness

Can easily terminate

Our age-old lethargy. ```

23313

```

As our suspicion-mind

Is the bearer of poison,

Even so, our faith-heart

Is the bearer of nectar. ```

23314

```

He who loves God

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

Will never tremble

Before God’s Thunder-Feet. ```

23315

```

We cannot arrive

At our own pinnacle-heights

If we cannot learn to love

The Silence of God. ```

23316

```

When we dive deep within,

We discover the wisdom-light

That is ancient

And at the same time new,

Ever-new.

```

23317

```

Slowly, steadily and unerringly

My aspiration-heart,

My dedication-life and I

Are arriving at our choice destination:

Satisfaction in perfection,

Perfection in satisfaction. ```

23318

```

I finally discovered

My Lord Supreme

In my heart’s

Gratitude-village-home. ```

23319

```

Our mind’s ignorance-exterminator

Is in our heart’s aspiration-cry

And nowhere else.

```

23320

```

When we do not please

Our Master Lord Supreme

In His own Way,

Our soul suffers the deepest loss. ```

23321

```

The very presence

Of a surrender-life

Rings out God’s Summit-Victory.

```

23322

```

Not the music of the mind,

Not even the music of the heart,

But the music of the soul only

Can liberate our earth-bound life. ```

23323

```

God’s Compassion

Never stops flowing.

It is our heart’s tears

That stop streaming. ```

23324

```

When God’s Justice-Light descends,

It breaks our unwilling head

And embraces our willing heart.

```

23325

```

God never blames me,

Never,

For my uselessness,

But He does blame me

For my ceaseless unwillingness.

```

23326

```

How can I ever finish

The Godward race

If my mind

Is wanting in sincerity

And if my heart

Is wanting in purity? ```

23327

```

My mind longs

For God’s constant Favour.

My heart pines

Only for a glance

From God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

23328

```

If you are a true seeker,

Then every day God will bless you

Not only with a renewed promise,

But also with an extra supply

Of capacity.

```

23329

```

The aspiring heart knows

That there can never be

Any greater miracle

Than God’s unconditional

Compassion-Sea.

```

23330

```

Challenge you must

Your heart’s insecurity,

If you want to overcome it

Once and for all. ```

23331

```

O truth-seeker,

O God-lover,

A great celebration awaits you

When you reach the unparalleled

Heaven-summit.

```

23332

```

A seeker has only two genuine friends:

His aspiration-cry

And his dedication-smile.

```

23333

```

No more shall I use

My present address.

I shall use from now on

A totally new address:

God’s Oneness-Heart-Home.

```

23334

```

I am definitely proud of

And pleased beyond measure with

My God-dreaming heart.

```

23335

```

God Himself

Most eagerly and most proudly

Protects

My heart’s climbing aspiration-flames. ```

23336

```

Finally my mind’s desperation

Has eagerly turned to

My heart’s aspiration.

```

23337

```

He who prays

A parrot-prayer

Meets with eventual frustration.

```

23338

```

If you have a peace-hunger-heart,

Then God’s Compassion-Eye

Will never fail you — never!

```

23339

```

God is extremely pleased with me,

For today I have made my heart

A sincere God-searchlight.

```

23340

```

The smiles of my soul

Are making my life divine.

The tears of my heart

Are making my life perfect. ```

23341

```

When desire takes my life

To the land of nowhere,

God blessingfully allows me

To make a U-turn

And arrive at my heart’s

Aspiration-home. ```

23342

```

From time immemorial

Man has been building temples

To worship God.

But God made only one temple,

And that temple

Will forever and forever stand.

What is that temple?

Man’s aspiration-heart. ```

23343

```

If our earth is still beautiful and pure,

It is all due to the tears

Of God’s loving saints

And God’s fulfilling servers. ```

23344

```

Everything else may betray you,

Everything else may fool you

And fail you,

But never, never

Your purity-flooded aspiration-heart.

```

23345

```

God’s most favourite souls

Are those

Who sleeplessly and breathlessly

Pray to Him

To take rest.

```

23346

```

God’s Compassion

And God’s Forgiveness

We shall never be able to escape,

No matter how many ways

We try.

```

23347

```

Because I consciously wallow

In the pleasures of ignorance,

True happiness,

Illumining happiness,

Fulfilling happiness

Has left me far behind. ```

23348

```

Before my final curtain goes down,

I must once, in all sincerity,

Pray to God:

“Let Thy Will be done.” ```

23349

```

Whenever I even think

Of making unconditional surrender,

God immediately applauds my resolution

To the skies. ```

23350

```

Our minds throng

To humanity’s appreciation.

Our souls throng

To God’s Compassion. ```

23351

```

O seeker,

Never, never, never slacken

In your God-realisation

And God-manifestation-determination. ```

23352

```

The depression of the vital

Is an early death.

The aspiration of the heart

Is the longest life. ```

23353

```

Finally I have come to realise

That I do not need a mind

To understand God.

What I need is a heart

That is always ready

To love and serve God

And to feel His Compassion-Delight

In His own Way. ```

23354

```

O my Lord Supreme,

Do bless me

With a tear-filled voice

That will never stop singing

Your Victory-Songs.

```

23355

```

My life’s teeming imperfections

Are fading away

Precisely because I am ceaselessly praying

To my Lord Supreme to bless me

So that I can be a perfect instrument

Of His choice Will. ```

23356

```

Alas,

How little I know of God.

Alas, alas, alas,

How rarely I want to know

About God.

```

23357

```

All the world-conquerors

Have vanished in the dust of time,

But the world-lovers

Will forever and forever

Be cherished and treasured

By Mother Earth. ```

23358

```

He who walks on the path

Of self-importance

Is diving into his own

Abysmal abyss. ```

23359

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

I want to bow not to You

But to the Illumination-Dust

Of Your Feet. ```

23360

```

What is a true prayer?

A true prayer

Is a heart-giving song

To the Lord Supreme. ```

23361

```

No sincere prayer

Will ever breathe in vain —

Never, never!

```

23362

```

There was a time

When I became a victim

To desire-night.

But now I am a faithful comrade

Of my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life. ```

23363

```

Your life has become God-fulness

Precisely because your heart

Is replete with God-thankfulness.

```

23364

```

Because of my constant self-offering

To the Will of my Lord Supreme,

I have now won

The fellowship of the immortals. ```

23365

```

Each and every aspiration-flame

Of my heart

Is an unparalleled

God-achievement-smile. ```

23366

```

When I feel

That I am not of God

And I am not for God,

I become not just a failure,

But total failure incarnate.

```

23367

```

A cry of Mother Earth

And a smile of Father Heaven

Will forever remain

My best friends. ```

23368

```

My soul tells me

That there is only one way

To soar through Eternity’s infinite Silence,

And that is through

Conscious and constant self-offering.

```

23369

```

I have freed myself

From fate’s firm grip

Just by becoming

A God-devotion-magnet. ```

23370

```

If your heart is deeply rooted

In humility,

Your life will be blessed

With Divinity’s Prosperity. ```

23371

```

If you are a God-dreamer,

Then you are at God’s Door.

If you are a God-lover,

Then you are inside God’s Room.

If you are a God-server,

Lo and behold,

The world sees you conversing

With your Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

23372

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme tells me

That I am a beautiful flower

Of His Dream

And I am a most delicious fruit

Of His Reality.

```

23373

```

Only when my life is dressed

In silence-peace

Does God allow me to sing for Him

And to dance at His Feet. ```

23374

```

When I pray to God

And meditate on God

Happily and self-givingly,

Time proudly lengthens itself

For me.

```

23375

```

If it is a true aspiration-heart,

Then it is bound to embody

A series of surprises,

Both earth-illumining

And earth-fulfilling.

```

23376

```

My Lord Supreme

Finds my gratitude-heart

Singularly attractive.

```

23377

```

Abandon the ancient roads

That wanted to lead you to God

Through self-torture.

Accept the new road of life-acceptance

And God-service in man

To please God

And to please the Real in you.

```

23378

```

The breath of my gratitude-heart

Is the abode

Of my Lord’s Promise supreme

For world-transformation. ```

23379

```

Millions of God-hungry hearts:

Where are they?

They are in God’s own

Satisfaction-Heart-Pride. ```

23380

```

O my desire-mind

How do you dare to expect

My aspiration-heart

To play with you

On your muddy shore?

```

23381

```

God’s Compassion-Station

Always invites aspiration

To broadcast its inspiring messages.

```

23382

```

Human life will forever remain

Lost in unsolved mysteries

If human life does not aspire

To please and fulfil God

In God’s own Way.

```

23383

```

Before we entered into the spiritual life,

We had not the slightest idea

What role insecurity plays.

Now that we are in the spiritual life,

We see that insecurity

Is nothing short of a dictator

Who leads us to our destination:

Doom. ```

23384

```

There was a time

When I was an unfortunate

God-fearing thought,

But now I am a fortunate

God-loving, God-serving

And God-fulfilling will. ```

23385

```

My mind always cries to know.

My heart always cries to feel.

My soul always cries to become

One with God, one in God

And one for God.

```

23386

```

You have simply no idea

How much God loves

The beauty and fragrance

Of your heart-smiles. ```

23387

```

I have many friends

Here on earth and there in Heaven,

But my beloved soul-bird-friend

Shall forever and forever remain

Unparalleled.

```

23388

```

Do you know when my heart

Started praying to God?

My heart started praying to God

Only when my all-loving soul

Pinched my heart to wake up

And see the beauty

Of a new horizon.

```

23389

```

My soul is always thrilled

To see God,

No matter how many times a day

God allows my soul

To be in His Presence.

```

23390

```

O truth-seeker,

It is high time for you to see

That the race of the mind

Is undoubtedly a backward race. ```

23391

```

Although my mind daily,

Without fail,

Discourages my heart,

My heart sleeplessly

Continues to look for God.

```

23392

```

“Love everyone”:

What does it mean?

It means

Love and love God,

Only God,

In everyone. ```

23393

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am praying to You

Not for a towering mind

But for a flowering heart. ```

23394

```

The day I do not see

My soul’s rainbow-ecstasy,

I feel that day

Is completely lost. ```

23395

```

My mind sings many songs

To demand God’s Appreciation.

My heart sings only one song —

Surrender —

But that song is treasured

By God Himself. ```

23396

```

Whenever I do something

Great and good,

God gives me immediately

A victory-trophy.

Can I not offer God

At least one trophy

To make Him happy?

And what is that trophy?

My cheerful gratitude-heart.

```

23397

```

Each aspirant will one day have to sit

For a God-satisfaction-examination.

Each examination is totally different,

But in the end,

The result-destination

Is always the same. ```

23398

```

It is never what the mind knows

That counts.

It is ever what the heart gives

That counts. ```

23399

```

There was a time

When nothing was able to change

My life-course.

Now, just a peace-drop

Has changed my entire life-course.

```

23400

```

God-realisation

For each and every human being

Is as certain

As the breaking of tomorrow’s dawn. ```
