Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 255

25401

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do give me the capacity

To live lovingly and self-givingly

In the family of oneness-hearts. ```

25402

```

Look into your heart.

You will see that your true Friend,

Your only Friend,

Is waiting. ```

25403

```

Your real progress can be measured

By your heart-cries

And your soul-smiles.

```

25404

```

The moment you find your path,

You must not hesitate

Even for a fleeting second.

```

25405

```

Do not have meditation-gardens

Here, there and everywhere.

Your meditation-garden has to be always

Inside the very depths of your heart. ```

25406

```

One solitary Smile-flash

From God’s Eye

Can transform the entire life

Of a God-lover. ```

25407

```

When the mind interferes

In the heart’s aspiration-activities,

It only leads to disaster.

```

25408

```

My heart’s new discovery

Is surrender unconditional.

My mind’s new discovery

Is gratitude. ```

25409

```

When we live in the aspiration-heart,

We get hundreds of opportunities

For the improvement and refinement

Of our life. ```

25410

```

In every nook and corner of your heart,

You must see aspiration-flames

And dedication-plants.

```

25411

```

In the small hours of the morning

Many inner alarms go off

For the seekers to welcome God.

```

25412

```

On principle, the suspicious mind

Is always expelled

From God’s Inner Circle.

```

25413

```

Your heart may not have ten ways

To please God,

But ask your heart at least to have one way

To please God in His own Way. ```

25414

```

Your mind may not have many reasons

To satisfy God,

But ask your mind at least to have

One reason

To satisfy God in His own Way.

```

25415

```

Everybody knows that when we enter

Into our mind-jungle,

We see no aspiration-cries

And no dedication-smiles. ```

25416

```

God feels extremely sorry

When I tell Him

That I do not want to fly with Him

In His Infinity’s Sky.

He says to me most compassionately,

“My child, do not worry.

I shall come back soon.”

```

25417

```

To correct my life’s inner flaws,

I must not mix with

My worry-anxiety-breath.

```

25418

```

Our problem-flooded life

Is definitely not in God’s

All-Illumination-Life.

```

25419

```

My mind needs

God-protection.

My heart needs

God-reassurance. ```

25420

```

Our life of aspiration-cries

Just feels that we are becoming better,

More illumining and more self-giving.

```

25421

```

When I do not meditate,

I see nothing in myself.

The world too sees nothing in me.

When I meditate,

Not only I myself but the whole world

Sees Heaven in my God-climbing eyes. ```

25422

```

I ask myself quite often one question:

“Is there any reason why Heaven

Has to wait?

Can we not fly and be in the heart of Heaven

Here and now?”

```

25423

```

An enthusiasm-mind

And an aspiration-heart

Can do the impossible

Whenever they want to. ```

25424

```

An eagerness-heart tells us

To be with God immediately

And live for God eternally.

```

25425

```

My Lord, may my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

Fly and fly far above

The teeming doubt-clouds. ```

25426

```

God accepts my heart-tears

Happily.

God accepts my soul-smiles

Proudly. ```

25427

```

If you feel a sudden surge of joy

During your meditation,

That means you have reached

A higher plane of consciousness. ```

25428

```

Where does divine love

Come from?

It comes from

Our self-giving life. ```

25429

```

To keep your eyes clear

Is not enough,

But to keep your heart completely pure

Is more than enough

To receive God’s Blessings

In abundant measure. ```

25430

```

If you use your mind,

You will see how far you can go

From God’s Compassion-Eye.

If you use your heart,

You will see how close you can come

To God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

25431

```

My joy knows no bounds

When my heart sits at the foot

Of God-devotion-tree.

```

25432

```

It is always the right time

And the right place

To pray to God

And meditate on God. ```

25433

```

The moment you feel

That you are indispensable,

You have dug your grave.

Your spiritual life has come to an end! ```

25434

```

In one glance

How much your Master can give you

Will always remain

Far beyond your imagination. ```

25435

```

Be careful of your dark vital!

Your dark vital can easily blackmail

Your searching mind

And even your aspiring heart. ```

25436

```

Every day I pray to God

To make me a permanent resident

Of His Heart-Country.

```

25437

```

Every morning I prayerfully embrace

God’s Feet

To illumine my mind

And to perfect my life. ```

25438

```

It is so simple

To get up early in the morning

And pray and meditate.

Yet it is so difficult,

Unbelievably difficult!

```

25439

```

Unconditional surrender

Is only a few steps away

From self-discovery.

```

25440

```

Be careful of your mind!

If your mind once gets hold

Of your sweet dreams,

It will tarnish all their beauty

And fragrance.

```

25441

```

If you are too full of yourself,

You will never receive

A Love-Compassion-Blessing-Letter

From God. ```

25442

```

You have decided not to complain

Against anybody.

God has decided to entertain

Only you. ```

25443

```

I am praying to God

To bring me a pass

To come watch

His Infinity’s new creation-dance. ```

25444

```

Since mankind is nothing other than

A yawning vigilance,

The hostile forces have a free access

To mankind’s heart-temple. ```

25445

```

Your God-hunger must not be confined

Only to early in the morning

And the evening.

It has to be sleepless and breathless.

Then only God will claim you

As His own, very own,

And you will also be entitled

To claim God as your own, very own. ```

25446

```

No matter how sincerely I try,

Alas,

Every day I am stunned

By sudden self-doubt. ```

25447

```

Alas, the God-Hour has passed by

For me to offer my gratitude-heart

To God.

Therefore, I am now really doomed. ```

25448

```

We offer our feeble hopes

To God.

God offers us His solemn Promise.

```

25449

```

If our heart can commune

With the Unknowable,

Then our life can cross beyond

The snares of death. ```

25450

```

Alas, the mind of each human being

Is unnecessarily burdened

With endless questions.

```

25451

```

A genuine God-lover does not live

Either in his blighted dreams

Or in his dashed hopes.

```

25452

```

Alas, we do not care for

The God-blessed crown within us!

We crave only the man-made crown.

```

25453

```

When we unnecessarily criticise

God the creation,

We do not realise

That we are making a blunder

Of Himalayan proportions.

```

25454

```

Smile within and smile without

If you want to free yourself

From the weight of futile frustrations.

```

25455

```

No desire-prompted action

Will ever be able to give us

Even an iota of satisfaction.

```

25456

```

Alas, my heart-home is empty

Of God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Feet!

```

25457

```

When our soul-bird sings

Inside our mind-jungle,

Even our mind-jungle begins to inspire

And aspire for

The whole world.

```

25458

```

The ultimate Goal

Is not something to understand.

It is something to grow into.

```

25459

```

Be careful of your desire-life.

You may be trampled

By its treasured pride.

```

25460

```

Surrender, surrender

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

Your life to God,

If you want God to approve of your life

And all its activities.

```

25461

```

My blossoming faith in God

Is an instant problem-shooter

In my life.

```

25462

```

I am a server and not a supporter

Of God’s Peace-Foundation

On earth.

```

25463

```

If we do not consciously long for

God-realisation,

Then we may become eventually

Kings and queens of self-deception. ```

25464

```

Alas,

My frustration-mind

Is something that never changes!

```

25465

```

If we do not try to please God

With our heart’s prayerful songs,

Then our soul will be forced to repent

With bitter tears. ```

25466

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

Do save my life

From my self-styled, mournful

Load of despair. ```

25467

```

O my mind,

Do not return to bygone days!

There is nothing worth seeing.

```

25468

```

If you really love God,

Then openly tell the world

That you prefer God to anything else

In the world. ```

25469

```

Do not foist your ideas on others.

Each one has to grow in his own way,

If not in God’s own Way.

```

25470

```

The mind is always eager

To shatter the silence-life

Of the aspiration-heart.

```

25471

```

At every moment

You must, without fail,

Fortify your mind

With positive thoughts. ```

25472

```

I turn to God

Not only in my hour of sorrow,

But also in my hour of unimaginable joy.

```

25473

```

My inner remembrance

Of God’s Touch

Is feeding my aspiration-heart

Sumptuously. ```

25474

```

My doubting mind

And my strangling vital

Are in an increasingly bitter battle

For supremacy. ```

25475

```

To restore God’s confidence in you,

Cry like a motherless

And fatherless child.

```

25476

```

God does not believe in

Your plethora of excuses

As to why you fail

Time and again

To please Him.

```

25477

```

What is life,

If not absolutely short-term

Name and fame?

```

25478

```

We must follow our Lord’s Footsteps

Wherever He wants to lead us

For our perfection-life.

```

25479

```

The oneness-song

Pure hearts

Never stop singing.

```

25480

```

If it is real love,

Then it must ultimately surrender

Happily and cheerfully

To God’s Will. ```

25481

```

Nobody has the capacity

To choose God.

It is God Himself

Who chooses us all. ```

25482

```

At every moment

A God-orbit

Is of supreme necessity.

```

25483

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Always remain absolutely perfect,

No matter from where you look. ```

25484

```

Every day I pray to God

To give me the capacity

To fly in

My love, devotion and surrender-skies. ```

25485

```

When I sympathise with someone,

I create the beauty and smile

Of a new God.

```

25486

```

Alas, I do not know

When I shall be able to discover

The golden pathway

Of my aspiration-heart. ```

25487

```

Each good thought

Is a living shrine

In the Heart of the Supreme.

```

25488

```

When I look at my heart-eye,

I become the energy

Of the whole cosmos.

```

25489

```

God wants to intensify

Our mind’s search for Him

And amplify

Our heart’s inseparable oneness

With Him.

```

25490

```

Where is God’s Compassion-Eye?

It is just a prayer-breath away

From my heart, from my life!

```

25491

```

If you do not begin

Your life-project today,

Then there is no assurance

That you will ever be able

To begin your life-project.

```

25492

```

Every day I desperately try

To experience the exquisite beauty

Of my surrender-life.

```

25493

```

If each morning you really want

To wake up

And try to pray and meditate,

Then God will supply you

With more and more inner alarms

So you can be punctual. ```

25494

```

God waited and waited for a long time

For my mind’s acceptance of His Divinity.

Alas, God has now expelled

My doubting mind

From His Inner Circle!

```

25495

```

May my everyday life

Grow into a dynamo

Of birthless and deathless energy.

```

25496

```

Switch on

The aspiration-light,

And switch off

Ignorance-night. ```

25497

```

In the long run,

We come to realise

That our surrender-life

Is God’s supreme Satisfaction. ```

25498

```

I am determined to become

What God’s Dream

Wants me to become.

```

25499

```

His very life-breath quivers with delight

At the very sight of

His Master’s compassion-flooded eye.

```

25500

```

If you can make

Your unconditional surrender perfect,

Then you will not need

Even one more day

To reach your Goal Supreme.
