Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 269

26801

```

God is ever ready

To move Heaven and earth

To see me smiling

With utmost sincerity. ```

26802

```

My Lord tells me that

My soulful smile

Is by far

My best achievement. ```

26803

```

My inner courage

Is a most illumining

And fulfilling assistant

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

26804

```

Oh, the suffering I caused

For my Lord Supreme

Is far beyond

My imagination-flight! ```

26805

```

There was a time

When I obeyed God

Out of fear.

```

26806

```

There was a time

When I obeyed God

With utmost reluctance.

```

26807

```

There was a time

When I obeyed God

With a very deep sigh.

```

26808

```

I now obey God

With my life’s

Ever-blossoming joy

And my heart’s

Ever-increasing gratitude.

```

26809

```

If anybody asks me

What I am doing,

I shall only say

That I am trying every day

God’s Patience.

```

26810

```

May, my Lord,

I do everything,

Everywhere and every day

The way You want me to do. ```

26811

```

May my gratitude

Be as sure as

My Lord’s Protection-Shelter.

```

26812

```

Every day

I make it a special point

To avoid

All disobedience-holes

On the way to my Lord Supreme.

```

26813

```

When I do not pray and meditate,

The undivine forces

Force me to become friends with

Gloomy thoughts and cloudy skies

In my inner life.

```

26814

```

Nectar-bliss-songs

I sing only when

I am able to place myself

At the Feet

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

26815

```

O my silence-mind,

You are my heart’s

Sweetest fountain-delight.

```

26816

```

To become a superlative seeker,

We must not allow our aspiration-heart

Ever to sleep.

```

26817

```

As long as I find any dispute

Between my God-searching mind

And my God-crying heart,

I shall never be able

To become happy.

```

26818

```

When I live inside my heart-garden,

Deep I drink

The music of sweetness

And soulfulness. ```

26819

```

My Lord Supreme is helping me

Every day to get

My hope-flower-beauty and fragrance

In vaster quantities. ```

26820

```

No human being can ever scale

The mountain of God’s Will

Without the flood

Of God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

26821

```

A Compassion-Breath

From my Lord Supreme

Has destroyed

The limitless length

Of my ignorance-night.

```

26822

```

My Lord Beloved Supreme,

May each single wish of Yours

Be my supreme Command.

```

26823

```

My Lord,

I do not know when

My giant ego

Is going to be dissolved

In Your Compassion-Eye.

```

26824

```

In spiritual communication,

Mental telepathy

Is the beginners’ course.

```

26825

```

O seekers,

Do not lose courage!

Do not lose hope!

The saints of today

Were not saints yesterday.

```

26826

```

The Lord Supreme treasures us

Only when we show Him

Our genuine eagerness

To take part in His Cosmic Game. ```

26827

```

God forgives all our shortcomings

Save and except

Our indifference to humanity.

```

26828

```

Goodness

Is the flowering blossoms

Of our world-oneness-heart.

```

26829

```

God wants us

Every day to enjoy

An aspiration-feast.

```

26830

```

The doubt-suspicion-telephone line

Always

Remains busy.

```

26831

```

My Lord, I want

My doubting mind to expire,

My strangling vital to retire,

My heart’s aspiration-cry to inspire. ```

26832

```

A negativity-mind

Is a most deplorable failure

In the spiritual life.

```

26833

```

Devotion-tears

Are made of

Celestial beauty.

```

26834

```

The temptation-vital knows first

How to attract,

And then immediately

How to attack

Human beings.

```

26835

```

God does not want

Our heart’s aspiration-cries to hide.

He wants our heart’s aspiration-cries

To come to the fore

And fight against ignorance-frown.

```

26836

```

If it is at all

A Godward race,

Then we needs must have

A lightning-speed. ```

26837

```

Nobody can fulfil

His soul’s manifestation-promises

Unless an unconditional Grace

Descends from Above. ```

26838

```

A heart consumed with devotion-tears

Will definitely reach the God-Destination

Sooner than any other way.

```

26839

```

The dictionary of a hero supreme

Will never house

“Impossibility”.

```

26840

```

May my life kneel

Devotedly and soulfully

At my Lord’s Feet

Every morning and every evening. ```

26841

```

My Lord Supreme eagerly awaits

My surrender-life

With His all-embracing Arms.

```

26842

```

If the mind has enthusiasm

And the heart has eagerness,

Then we can fly in the skies

Of the ever-transcending Beyond. ```

26843

```

O world-critics,

You need a totally different world

To enjoy your lives!

```

26844

```

Each positive thought

Rightly deserves

To be multiplied and magnified.

```

26845

```

Nobody can wrestle

With the teeming crises of his fate

Unless God’s special Concern

Comes to his rescue. ```

26846

```

May my God-realisation-hope

And promise

Every day give me

A new awakening,

A new, fulfilling message.

```

26847

```

If you do not have

True love of God,

Then you cannot be inspired

At every moment

To please God in His own Way.

```

26848

```

Obedience

Has to be repeated

Ceaselessly and self-givingly.

```

26849

```

Gratitude-tears

Have

Nectar-flooded bliss.

```

26850

```

How beautiful

Is the openness of the mind.

How fruitful

Is the fulness of the heart. ```

26851

```

Each time your Master thinks of you

With his compassion-heart,

He gives your heart

A tangible progress-push. ```

26852

```

A heart of sincerity

Is always clothed

In purity-light.

```

26853

```

God is always ready

To meet with me

At His Obedience-School.

```

26854

```

Again and again

God asks my aspiration-heart

If it is all ready to take

World-transformation-dictation

From Him.

```

26855

```

The obedience of my mind

And the gratitude of my heart

Have become my life’s

Two God-partners. ```

26856

```

Each time I offer my life

To my Lord Supreme,

He immediately smiles at me

Reassuringly, unreservedly. ```

26857

```

No self-giving life

Can ever be lost

In the quagmire of the world.

```

26858

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is always ready

To lighten all the burdens

That attack our lives,

But we do not give God the chance.

```

26859

```

We must be sleepless

Plus ruthless

In our fight against the troublemakers

Of our inner life:

Doubt, anxiety, fear,

Jealousy and insecurity. ```

26860

```

O my mind,

I really do not know

How you can be always so inhospitable

To thoughts divine. ```

26861

```

My mind’s indifference-eye

To the world-community

Is my life’s

Himalayan blunder. ```

26862

```

May my life-boat always ply

Between

God the Compassion-Shore

And

God the Satisfaction-Shore.

```

26863

```

The worries and anxieties of the mind

Are always apt to take us away

Farther than the farthest

From our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

26864

```

There is only one way

To fulfil ourselves most satisfactorily,

And that is

Our constant God-service-commitment. ```

26865

```

May my heart take messages

From the ever-transcending Beyond

The way my soul has been doing

From time immemorial. ```

26866

```

There can be nobody

As proudly lavish in praise

As our Inner Pilot Supreme.

```

26867

```

In no way am I better

Than a meaningless zero

If I do not fulfil the Command

Of my inner Hero Supreme. ```

26868

```

Doubt is an age-old habit.

We must break this old habit

For our inner progress-flight

And our outer success-march. ```

26869

```

Whenever I have an interview

With my Lord Beloved Supreme,

He asks me to spend

Only quality time

And not quantity time.

```

26870

```

May my life enjoy

Unbreakable bonds

Of Mother Earth-affection.

```

26871

```

Every new second

Is the threshold

Of a new, inspiring beginning.

```

26872

```

My heart is looking for a place

Where it can imagine

God’s Lotus-Feet

Most prayerfully. ```

26873

```

Each morning

My soul teaches me

How to wing

Far beyond the horizons. ```

26874

```

God the Power

Is the fear-producer

In my life.

```

26875

```

God the Love

Is the satisfaction-giver

To my life.

```

26876

```

Asceticism cannot be

The fully perfect way

For God-realisation.

```

26877

```

My Lord,

May my gratitude-heart

Be a sea of tears.

```

26878

```

The parents of the mind

Are

Stupidity and audacity.

```

26879

```

Unlike the mind,

The heart is always eager

To be the partner of the mind.

```

26880

```

My heart is fond of

Unity.

My mind is proud of

Diversity. ```

26881

```

My Lord wants me to be with Him

Only when I am sincerely ready

To spend quality time.

```

26882

```

My mind,

Your aspiration-dedication-house

Needs transformation

Or at least a major repair. ```

26883

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Quietly and proudly

Beckons my aspiration-heart.

```

26884

```

A frustration-mind

And an aggression-vital

Highly speak of each other.

```

26885

```

My heart’s compassion-tears

Meet with

My Lord’s proudest

Satisfaction-Smiles. ```

26886

```

My aspiration-vacation

My Lord Supreme

Never approves.

```

26887

```

Nothing can be better

Than a self-giving oneness —

Nothing!

```

26888

```

My Lord,

Do take away

All my time,

For You, only for You. ```

26889

```

God is all ready

With His open Arms,

But alas,

Where is my surrender-life? ```

26890

```

My heart kneels

At God’s Feet,

Not for His Satisfaction

But for His Compassion. ```

26891

```

God wants my life

To live between

Enthusiasm and eagerness,

And nowhere else. ```

26892

```

Everything else I find,

Save and except

The breath of silence.

```

26893

```

Anything the Master touches

Immediately becomes

A God-satisfaction-instrument.

```

26894

```

A reasoning mind

Is the most deplorable

Navigator.

```

26895

```

A heart of poise

Meets with God’s

Thunderous Applause.

```

26896

```

Our hearts

Pray to God

Self-givingly.

```

26897

```

Our minds

Betray God

Unreservedly.

```

26898

```

If only for a brief moment

I can sit at the Feet

Of my Lord Supreme,

My life’s task

Will be accomplished.

```

26899

```

Each individual must develop

A supremely passionate quest

For the Absolute Truth.

```

26900

```

My Lord,

I beg of You to bless me

With Your moonlit Compassion

And not with Your sunlit Power. ```
