Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 250

24901

```

Every morning

God asks me to give Him

My aspiration-report.

Every evening

He asks me to give Him

My dedication-report. ```

24902

```

My Lord Supreme,

If You really love me,

Then kidnap my heart

Here and now! ```

24903

```

Every God-aspiration-attempt

Will eventually grow into

A God-satisfaction-fulfilment.

```

24904

```

The modern world

Desperately needs

The beauty, purity and divinity

Of hermitage. ```

24905

```

God is both

The Ideal and the Real.

When I am in my mind,

He is the Ideal Divine.

When I am in my heart,

He is the Real Supreme. ```

24906

```

May my mind become

An aspiration-student,

A dedication-teacher

And a surrender-professor. ```

24907

```

You may quarrel

With your desiring mind,

But never quarrel

With your aspiring heart,

For your aspiring heart

Is treasured by God Himself. ```

24908

```

Worldly fame

Is nothing but a fleeting flickering

Of the restlessness-eyes.

```

24909

```

I am sure my Lord is there

Inside my heart

To wait compassionately

Until I come. ```

24910

```

God showers His choicest Blessings

And Pride

Upon those who have

Happiness-wings-hearts. ```

24911

```

My soul wants me

To run the fastest.

Therefore, it is extremely sorry

To see that I have kept

My inner life

Always under construction. ```

24912

```

Our faith in God

Has to be indomitable.

Then only do we not have to stop

At the doubt-fear-hesitation-roadblocks. ```

24913

```

There was a time when I was

An aspiration-army-soldier.

Now my Lord Supreme

Wants me to volunteer

For His Divinity-manifestation-army.

```

24914

```

The beauty of peace

And the fragrance of silence

Are not only interdependent

But also inseparable. ```

24915

```

God asks me

To count the daily Blessings

That I receive from Him.

My mind wants me

To count all the frustrations

That I treasure every day. ```

24916

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Has dried all my tears.

Now He expects from me

A beautiful, powerful

And sky-soaring smile.

```

24917

```

Alas, by nature

The human mind is prone

To a deception-life of ease.

```

24918

```

Alas, so often my doubting mind

And my aggressive vital

Bring disgrace

To my aspiring heart. ```

24919

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do bless me with the Smile

Of Your Compassion-Eye,

So that I can liberate myself

From the ruthless doubt-prison.

```

24920

```

If your life is only

For God-Satisfaction on earth,

Then you can heroically and easily

Stand against overwhelming odds. ```

24921

```

The seeker who has nerves of iron

Can transform

His abysmal abyss-fate

Into God-Satisfaction’s

Highest heights.

```

24922

```

My Lord Supreme,

Every day I shall beg You

For a new favour.

For today, do free my mind

From stark world-illusion-temptation.

```

24923

```

Because the human mind

Does not aspire,

It is always burdened

By uninspiring

And unnecessary questions.

```

24924

```

If we can prayerfully

And self-givingly cling

To God’s Nectar-Feet,

Then we can easily commune

With the Ineffable.

```

24925

```

Each individual

Has come into the world

To cross beyond the snares

Of limitation,

And each individual

Will eventually succeed. ```

24926

```

An excellent God-instrument

Is he whose every breath on earth

Is a God-fulfilment-promise.

```

24927

```

If you want to run unaided

Towards your Goal,

Then yours will be a blunder

Of Himalayan heights. ```

24928

```

No desire-prompted action

Will ever be able to please God

In His own Way.

```

24929

```

He has received

From the Lord Supreme

His most coveted Prize:

Satisfaction. ```

24930

```

If perfection is what you need,

Then God-Satisfaction will one day be

At your disposal.

```

24931

```

The outer education

Is for the mind.

The inner education

Is for the heart.

The soul needs no education,

For the soul has always been

In perfect union

With God’s Will. ```

24932

```

I have come to realise

That as long as I walk inside

My mind-jungle,

God is not going to walk inside

My heart-garden.

```

24933

```

When God comes to us,

He immediately looks

For the silence of our heart,

And nothing else. ```

24934

```

The real aspiration-heart-sun

Can never, never set.

It is always on the rise.

```

24935

```

If the name of your life-boat

Is obedience,

Then God will bless you

With His ever-blossoming Smile. ```

24936

```

Those who come to God

As a last resort

Will have to cover a very long distance.

```

24937

```

Gratitude-prayer-garland

Is made of

Sweetness-heart-flowers.

```

24938

```

Your brooding heaviness-mind

Will never find

The all-clearing Light

To show you the way

To your satisfaction-goal.

```

24939

```

Our heart-garden is the only place

Where we proclaim the first thing first:

God for God’s sake only.

```

24940

```

My Lord,

As long as I have

Your Compassion-Eye

In front of me,

I shall never lose my way.

```

24941

```

Every day

Invariably we make friends

With frustrations.

Therefore, every day

We are drowning

In a whirlpool of frustrations. ```

24942

```

There is only one freedom-road

That my life has,

And that road is my constant oneness

With God’s Will. ```

24943

```

I have only one goal,

And that goal

Is to climb up

My God-obedience-summit. ```

24944

```

Alas,

There is always a tug-of-war going on

Between man’s frustration-mind

And God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

24945

```

What my soul expects from me

Is nothing unusual.

It is something absolutely normal

And natural:

My selfless love for God.

```

24946

```

Self-admiration-disease

I have.

God-adoration-medicine

I need. ```

24947

```

If we settle for less than the highest,

The human in us may be satisfied,

But never the divine in us.

```

24948

```

My life-boat plies between

God the Compassion-Eye-Shore

And God the Forgiveness-Heart-Shore.

```

24949

```

The modern world needs

The simplicity of the ancient mind

And the purity of the ancient heart.

```

24950

```

To be happy and perfect,

I must look at myself lovingly,

And I must not only look at

But also enter into

My Lord Supreme self-givingly.

```

24951

```

To be sleeplessly self-giving

Is to reach the summit

Of all virtues.

```

24952

```

The human mind

Is nothing short of

A God-unwillingness-rock.

```

24953

```

If I am in my mind,

I am forced to accept

The cross of life.

If I am in my heart,

I am invited to be part of

The sweetness of life. ```

24954

```

There is nothing as sweet,

Beautiful and fruitful

As losing ourselves

In the very Compassion-Heart of God. ```

24955

```

No more shall I enjoy

The raging torrents

Of depression and frustration.

From now on, I shall enjoy

The loftiest victory

Of my inner faith. ```

24956

```

Each human mind,

Either knowingly or unknowingly,

Is a humour-rumour-columnist.

```

24957

```

What you need

Is a converted mind.

What you need

Is an unconverted heart. ```

24958

```

Every day

God comes down to blessingfully offer

His Pride-Reward

Only to those who rightly deserve it. ```

24959

```

No matter how long it takes,

My aspiring heart

Is ready to stay in darkness

While it is waiting for God. ```

24960

```

God’s Compassion-Eye says:

“Give more, give more, give more!”

Man’s receptivity-mind says:

“No more, no more, no more!” ```

24961

```

The highest world cannot ignore

Even one drop

Of man’s self-offering love.

```

24962

```

Have patience, my seeker-friend!

To expect anything good

In the twinkling of an eye

Is nothing but utter stupidity. ```

24963

```

Only for the genuine God-lover

Is the Nectar-Heartbeat

Of Heaven.

```

24964

```

The very nature of the mind

Is to vehemently resist

God’s Arrival.

```

24965

```

I am absolutely certain

That God suffers

From my careless neglect,

Although He never tells me. ```

24966

```

Alas,

It seems that the desert-days

Of my aspiration-life

Know no end. ```

24967

```

My Lord,

Can You not see

How sincerely I am praying to You

To save me from my shallow living? ```

24968

```

God does not wait,

Even for a minute,

To announce my unconditional love

For Him. ```

24969

```

To limit God

Only to the scriptures

Is the height of our stupidity.

```

24970

```

At long last,

My Lord Supreme has rescued me

From my blinding and binding mind.

```

24971

```

Only he who surrenders to God

Unconditionally

Can enjoy the beauty and fragrance

Of God-life. ```

24972

```

Most human beings

Find it extremely difficult

To lose even one pound

Of ignorance-weight. ```

24973

```

The beauty

Of our hope-dreams

Can never be fathomed.

```

24974

```

The fragrance

Of our promise-realities

Can never be measured.

```

24975

```

For years and years

I have been trying to listen

To my Lord’s

Compassion-Sweetness-Whispers. ```

24976

```

Every day

I soulfully meditate

To strengthen my love-bond

With my Beloved Supreme. ```

24977

```

No matter what happens in my life,

I shall always steer my life-boat

To the God-Heart-Shore.

```

24978

```

There was a time when I was lost

In a world of depression.

Now that world

Is a perfect stranger to me. ```

24979

```

At long last,

I have caught the unhappiness-thieves

Red-handed!

```

24980

```

No joy can equal

The joy that is in

Full aspiration-swing.

```

24981

```

Alas,

How desperately I am trying

To enter into my heart’s faith-cottage

Once more. ```

24982

```

There is always time

For a genuine seeker

To bury his ignorance-pleasure-life.

```

24983

```

Solid and abundant happiness abides

Only when we are surrounded

By beautiful inspiration

And powerful aspiration. ```

24984

```

The spiritual life

Is nothing other than

Successive attempts

At God-satisfaction. ```

24985

```

Every day

I simply die for

The affection-flooded Compassion-Eye

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

24986

```

To avoid

My aspiration-heart

And suspicion-mind-collision,

I always pay extra attention. ```

24987

```

I must examine my life

Only through the Beauty

Of my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

24988

```

My Lord Supreme,

Every day do save me

From the narrow confines

Of my stupid absurdity-mind. ```

24989

```

Each soulful meditation

Is, indeed,

A Heavenly host of delight.

```

24990

```

We are all eager to receive

Our realisation-diploma from God.

Our Lord of Compassion tells us:

“My children, just wait a while!” ```

24991

```

Each spiritual Master of the highest height

Is a flag-bearer

Of a fast-approaching new generation.

```

24992

```

Each illumining and fulfilling meditation

Has the capacity

To unlock the door of our heart-shrine.

```

24993

```

O my mind,

How can you ever be satisfied

By betraying the immortal will

Of my all-illumining soul? ```

24994

```

My happy heart is, indeed,

The secret and sacred sign

Of my Lord’s Affection infinite.

```

24995

```

O my mind,

Your stupidity knows no bounds!

Every day you are exaggerating

The torture of your impurity-struggles. ```

24996

```

Alas, quite often

Our human life likes to satisfy itself

With the intrusion

Of the confusion-mind. ```

24997

```

O seeker, be careful!

Darkness knows how to grow

Inside your heart

Unnoticed. ```

24998

```

Nothing can be

As hurtful or destructive

As the tyranny of the suspicion-mind.

```

24999

```

God’s Joy knows no bounds

When He hears the blissful voice

Of a seeker’s prayerful devotion.

```

25000

```

There is no prayer

In God’s entire creation

That can never be answered

When our life becomes

The beauty and fragrance

Of sleepless tears. ```
