Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 268

26701

```

The human life is, indeed,

A golden

God-serving opportunity.

```

26702

```

A soulful smile is, indeed,

A messenger descended from

God’s celestial Palace.

```

26703

```

Self-giving is, indeed,

An indispensable piece

Of God-Wisdom in us.

```

26704

```

When God hears that His dear ones

Have given up the spiritual life,

He deeply sighs and mourns.

```

26705

```

When God sees that His dear ones

Have increased their aspiration,

He congratulates them

Far beyond their imagination. ```

26706

```

God the Compassion only

Connects the road between

My determination

And God-Satisfaction. ```

26707

```

O disobedience-mind,

Be careful!

You will soon be imprisoned

By my aspiration-heart —

Indefinitely!

```

26708

```

My faith in the world

Goes far beyond

The deplorable deeds

Of the world. ```

26709

```

My heart-bird

Sleeplessly enjoys

Soaring aspiration-flight.

```

26710

```

Each time I soulfully pray,

I become the beauty

Of my heart-blossom.

```

26711

```

A God-crying heart

A God-manifesting smile.

```

26712

```

A desire-bondage-freed chain

Our life becomes

When our aspiration reaches

Its zenith-height. ```

26713

```

What is humility,

If not our soul’s nobility

Revealed in and through

Our lives? ```

26714

```

May each human being become

A peace-loving God-dreamer,

God-lover and God-server.

```

26715

```

I am so proud of myself

That I am captured by

My Lord’s

Compassion-Protection-Feet. ```

26716

```

If we are chosen instruments

Of God,

Then we must only support

The good qualities of others

And deliberately connive

At their weaknesses. ```

26717

```

I call it disobedience.

My Lord calls it

My life-disaster.

```

26718

```

An unconditional surrender

A God-blossoming beauty.

```

26719

```

An unconditional surrender

A God-becoming fragrance.

```

26720

```

There is no fixed hour

For our aspiration-heart-journey.

We can at any moment start.

```

26721

```

When we pray and meditate well,

We are blessed by God

With His Satisfaction-Pride-Surprise.

```

26722

```

May my heart and I

Live always

In our God-gratitude-life.

```

26723

```

How stupid we are!

We are seeking security

In weak man-made

Weaker sanctuaries. ```

26724

```

When all else is taken away

From our life,

We see God’s Compassion-Eye

Is still with us and for us. ```

26725

```

Alas, our fear and doubt

Are infinitely more powerful

Than our faith in God.

```

26726

```

Each heart-experience

Is an expansion

Of God-Fulfilment

On earth. ```

26727

```

Frustration frowns at us

When we do not regularly feed

Our heart’s

Aspiration-cries. ```

26728

```

Never regret the past.

Just go forward,

Fly upward,

Dive inward.

Be a man of wisdom-delight.

```

26729

```

Freedom, freedom!

Freedom within, freedom without,

To allow

Beautiful, soulful

And powerful creativity

To take birth in us. ```

26730

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is the driving force

Behind man’s goodness-actions.

```

26731

```

My Lord,

Since You love me so dearly,

How is it that You do not shelter me

From life’s constant ups and downs? ```

26732

```

In my case,

The absence of God

Is not only heartbreaking,

But also God-Delight-denying. ```

26733

```

Every morning we must charge

Our aspiration-heart

To inspire our

God-manifestation-service-life. ```

26734

```

No miracle

Can ever truly feed

Our genuine God-hunger.

```

26735

```

God loves us

Just the way we are,

But He can and He will love us

Infinitely more

If we become what He wants us

To be. ```

26736

```

God’s Eye

God’s Compassion-Umbrella

Wide open to protect us. ```

26737

```

If you want to bring about peace,

Never pay any attention

To your imperfections,

But pay all attention

To your readiness, willingness

And eagerness

For world-transformation.

```

26738

```

Each godless dream

Ends in

Man-frustration-torture.

```

26739

```

No ardent aspiration-attempt

Will ever end

In failure.

```

26740

```

There is not a single seeker

On earth

Who has never passed through

The valley of uncertainty. ```

26741

```

Each day is my soul’s

God-manifestation-commitment

On earth.

```

26742

```

If we keep our newness-mind alive,

Then our life will be

A Fulness-God-Blessing-delight.

```

26743

```

Our Lord Supreme asks our souls

To intercede

When the mind and the heart

Are not on good terms. ```

26744

```

May my God-satisfaction-hunger

Remain permanent

In my inner aspiration-life.

```

26745

```

Nobody can deny the fact

That his life has been

A long-standing friendship

With ignorance-night. ```

26746

```

Each time we are relaxed

In our spiritual life,

We are forced to suffer

God-disobedience-outbreak. ```

26747

```

If we do not take our aspiration-life

Seriously,

Then ours will be an unfulfilled

God-satisfaction-future. ```

26748

```

In everything else

We take risks,

But in our God-faith-investment

There can be no risk. ```

26749

```

God wants us to be

Aspiration-dreamers,

Aspiration-lovers

And, finally,

Aspiration-dispensers.

```

26750

```

What is doubt,

If not complete distortion

Of God-belief in us?

```

26751

```

Self-confidence is, indeed,

The most powerful result

Of our selflessness-life.

```

26752

```

God blesses humanity

Every time He smiles

From the very depth

Of His Heart. ```

26753

```

Perfection playfully

Hides behind

Our God-surrender-door.

```

26754

```

A fault-finding man

Eventually becomes

A truth-empty life.

```

26755

```

My only hope is that one day

My mind will more sincerely

Invoke the presence

Of silence. ```

26756

```

Impatience is nothing but

An unnoticed,

Self-defeating experience.

```

26757

```

The mind-bloated books

Are not worth reading —

No, not even worth opening!

```

26758

```

May my life be a tiny heartbeat

Of my Lord’s

Constant Awareness.

```

26759

```

My Lord, do tell me,

When will I wake up

Once and for all

From the lap of ignorance-night? ```

26760

```

The stark stupidity

Of human beings

Even baffles

Divinity’s Wisdom-Light. ```

26761

```

Our heart does not know

How our mind can be

So enamoured

Of stark ignorance-night. ```

26762

```

The tears of my heart

Smile through my Lord’s Eye

Every day.

```

26763

```

Ignorance is so cruel

That it tells me

It has temptation

To intimidate me. ```

26764

```

Wisdom-heart tells me

That it has its purity-sword

To challenge ignorance.

```

26765

```

The happiness of the heart

Is the freedom of life,

Even when we live

In ignorance-prison. ```

26766

```

The human mind does not comprehend

Anything divine

That is shaping and moulding our lives

For our perfection. ```

26767

```

God is looking for you.

Can you not even for a second

Stay inside your heart-garden?

```

26768

```

There is no stop sign

On my

God-pleasing road.

```

26769

```

God may become tired at times

Of our stupidity,

But God-Forgiveness

Never becomes tired. ```

26770

```

The mind by nature

Is poverty-stricken

In the realm of spirituality.

```

26771

```

May my heart, mind, vital

And body

Always have plenty of hope

To live on. ```

26772

```

My Lord is telling me

Again and again

To give Him the opportunity

To worry about all my problems. ```

26773

```

Alas, I have given up everything

Save and except one thing:

My conscious God-dividing mind.

```

26774

```

I have decided to tell the world

That I have nothing else to do

But please God

At every moment. ```

26775

```

In a sea of silence,

The soul reprimands

The God-doubting life.

```

26776

```

A God-surrender-life

Is bound to win

In the battlefield of life.

```

26777

```

What you call

Your heart’s gratitude,

God calls that very thing

A special banquet. ```

26778

```

When I repeatedly

Do something wrong,

God’s sorrowful Tears

Inundate His Eyes. ```

26779

```

Every morning,

In the small hours of the day,

I am all eager

For my Lord’s wake-up Call. ```

26780

```

The undivine doubt

Has nothing appreciable.

It interferes with

God’s Peace-manifestation

On earth.

```

26781

```

Disobedience

Is always a fatal case

In a seeker’s life.

```

26782

```

God has read my heart-book

Over and over again.

No page remains unread

By God.

Therefore, I am swimming

In ecstasy-sea. ```

26783

```

Be brave

Day in and day out

To meet with your destiny.

```

26784

```

Never avoid, O seeker,

The inner responsibility

To love God

In God’s own Way. ```

26785

```

God’s world-satisfaction-story

God Himself reads out

From time to time.

```

26786

```

If you are not good enough

To listen to God,

Then when will you become

A God-instrument

In your life?

```

26787

```

Every morning

My soul wants my heart

To enjoy the rising sun

Of peace, light and bliss. ```

26788

```

We must not wait for anything

Until tomorrow,

Never!

```

26789

```

My Lord’s Will

Is my Lord’s

Only abiding Satisfaction.

```

26790

```

Unlike us,

God never believes in

Authoritative pronouncements.

```

26791

```

Peace

Can never be something

Far beyond our reach.

```

26792

```

If we are true seekers,

Then we must put forth

Our own self-offering

To God’s Will. ```

26793

```

The inner life

Of a spiritual seeker

Has to overflow

With dynamic energy. ```

26794

```

When we take even one step upward,

God the Smiler comes down

And greets us.

```

26795

```

Surrender, gratitude and bliss:

These are the three

Most powerful branches

Of our life-tree. ```

26796

```

My devotion-heart

Can live without anything,

As long as it can claim

God’s Compassion-Eye

As its own, very own.

```

26797

```

There is only one place

For me to take shelter,

And that place is

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye. ```

26798

```

No matter how or when

My heart sings

For my Lord Supreme,

My Lord is all appreciation,

All joy and gratitude.

```

26799

```

May my life every day

Live in the unfathomable depth

Of my soul-illumination.

```

26800

```

My soul has reserved

A special seat for my heart

At God’s Nectar-flooded Feet.
