Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 27

2601

```

Show God your receptivity-hunger.

Immediately He will give you

A Satisfaction-Feast.

```

2602

```

The seekers who make constant progress

Never go to eat

At suspicion-restaurant

In their mental world. ```

2603

```

My concentration-life shows me

God’s Protection-Fence.

My meditation-life actually sees

God’s Protection-Fence around me

Protecting me.

```

2604

```

If you do not feed

Your heart’s gratitude-flames

Every day

With your soulful love,

Your life-racquet

Will have all broken strings. ```

2605

```

At times

Seclusion you definitely need

For your soul to strengthen

Its Himalayan promise

To your Beloved Supreme.

```

2606

```

My soul every day patronises

God’s Vision-Store.

Therefore

My soul is well-liked

By God the Owner.

```

2607

```

Now that once more

You have started

Your life’s cheerfulness-career,

Your inner progress and outer progress

Will surprise you unimaginably.

```

2608

```

Every day God expects

A new heart-flower from you,

For this is the only way

The ever-transcending God

Can carry you with Him.

```

2609

```

Your soul has instructed your heart

How to go

To God’s Satisfaction-Land.

Your heart is about to embark

On this unprecedented journey.

You just follow your heart! ```

2610

```

God does not like to give anything

To an empty eye

Or an empty hand.

He gives everything

To an empty heart.

An empty eye

Is visionless.

An empty hand

Is giftless.

But an empty heart

Is guileless.

Therefore, in an empty heart

He can abide

And also give to it

What He wants to give.

```

2611

```

When your aspiration-fire

Goes out,

God the Guest

Also goes out. ```

2612

```

His soul’s aspiration-life-story

Has been edited by God Himself.

Therefore

It is absolutely flawless. ```

2613

```

A sky-blazing message:

Humanity’s helpless cry

And divinity’s powerful smile

Shall eternally live together. ```

2614

```

In his inner life

A seeker wins the race

By virtue of his faith.

In his outer life

A seeker wins the race

By virtue of his surrender.

```

2615

```

His untouchable thoughts

Have caused his premature death

In the spiritual life.

```

2616

```

What can equal God’s Ecstasy?

Man’s bold promise to Him

To become another God.

```

2617

```

Only an unconditional God-lover

God gladly allows

To wear the Silence-Smile

Of His transcendental Self. ```

2618

```

God is ready to give you

Instant realisation.

Will you be able to receive it

With your constant aspiration? ```

2619

```

God does not know

A better way for me

Since I have deliberately stooped

To suspicion-night. ```

2620

```

Since you are a part-time seeker,

God does not want you and Him

To be mutual admirers.

```

2621

```

If you are a true truth-seeker

And a true God-lover,

Then you can never allow your life

To become a faded promise-flower. ```

2622

```

My ability has neither

Sincerity nor purity.

My ability is only

A dance of my doubting mind. ```

2623

```

God’s Control-Tower

Is only for those

Whose lives have become

Endless surrender-hours. ```

2624

```

What you desperately need

Is a heart-retreat

From your mind’s busy

And meaningless life. ```

2625

```

I belong

To God’s Vision-Beauty.

God belongs

To my dedication-duty. ```

2626

```

Invention is worse than useless

If there is no good intention

Behind the invention.

```

2627

```

Perfection is attained

Only when

There is nothing more

To gain

And nothing more

To lose. ```

2628

```

Simplicity is at once

God’s natural Blessing

And man’s sleepless promise.

```

2629

```

His mind’s aspiration-flame

Is like a flicker

In a very distant universe.

```

2630

```

Try ancient aspiration

If you want to save

The modern world

From its ultra-modern desires. ```

2631

```

Unknown

Is his dedication-life.

Unknowable

Is his aspiration-heart. ```

2632

```

Since the animal in you

Does not relax,

Why do you allow the human in you

To relax

And the divine in you

To sleep? ```

2633

```

Alas,

His life-breath stopped

With a sad and brief

Spiritual story. ```

2634

```

Each happy life-car

Needs

An encouragement-engine.

```

2635

```

The Heaven-Hotel

Of the Absolute Supreme

Enjoys vacancies

Almost every day of the year. ```

2636

```

Man’s unhappiness

Is apt to snap

God’s golden Compassion-Thread.

```

2637

```

Your life

Is the question of the past.

My life

Is the answer to the future. ```

2638

```

It is absolutely time for you

To find a new direction

In your life’s Godward journey.

```

2639

```

A seeker’s shopping list

Has only two items:

God’s Compassion-Eye

And

God’s Forgiveness-Heart.

```

2640

```

I thought I had the answer,

But now I see

That my life is not only

A colossal question

But also

An unending question. ```

2641

```

God’s Compassion-Flood

Has enabled him to declare

That his mind’s unwillingness-capacity

Is a mere word. ```

2642

```

If your heart

Deliberately amplifies your sorrow,

I tell you,

You will never find

Any illumining and fulfilling

Inner resource. ```

2643

```

There is only one perfect gift

That I can offer

To my Lord Supreme:

My life’s sleepless dedication-flower. ```

2644

```

Why are you shopping

Inside the mind-cave?

The heart-department store

Is right in front of you! ```

2645

```

My Lord Supreme quickly taught me

How to be good

Because He saw

That I was all ready

To turn His creation bad.

```

2646

```

If you are insecure,

Then every day

You will be forced to learn

Illusion-lessons

From the world-atmosphere.

```

2647

```

Your heart’s homeland

Is where your consciousness

Sings and dances

Only for God. ```

2648

```

God’s constant Forgiveness

Is a supreme necessity

And not an unwanted superfluity.

```

2649

```

Do not live inside

Your dark mind-cave.

It is quite unsafe.

At any moment

Suspicion-snake may hiss at you.

```

2650

```

If God asks you

To send Him a picture of you,

It means that God’s Blessings

And your life

Are about to become

Inseparable. ```

2651

```

If you do not step

On your divinity-ladder,

Futility-ladder

Will bring you down

And throw you

Into the abysmal abyss. ```

2652

```

How do you dare to think

That on the strength

Of your obsolete aspiration

You can win the realisation

Of tomorrow’s brightest dawn?

```

2653

```

When God forgives you,

He promises to you

That He will also forgive

Your associates in the inner life. ```

2654

```

Purity’s oneness-heart

Will never suffer

From the bite of insecurity.

```

2655

```

It is an amazing fact

That a fleeting second of peace

Can inundate a seeker’s life

With the soul’s satisfaction-delight. ```

2656

```

Aspiration is the beginning

Of perfection.

Perfection is the beginning

Of satisfaction.

Satisfaction is the beginning

Of nothingness nullified

And fulness multiplied.

```

2657

```

In this crowded world

What I need is a Smile

From God’s Protection-Eye.

```

2658

```

God does not mind giving you

His Compassion-Credit Card,

But will your proud mind

Allow you to use it? ```

2659

```

You must never allow

Your mind-lawyer

To cross-examine

Your life’s oneness-heart. ```

2660

```

You are such a fool!

Your whole life has now become

The repetition

Of a broken record. ```

2661

```

It is your sordid vital

That has imprisoned

Your aspiration-life,

Which was meant only

For God’s use.

```

2662

```

Doubt-frost can kill everything

In a seeker’s life.

Therefore, keep your heart of faith

Always soulful and powerful. ```

2663

```

Death’s shadow

You can see on your face,

But never upon your soul’s

Divinity-eye. ```

2664

```

You have every reason

To be happy

Because your determination

Remains unchallenged

And your aspiration

Remains unexamined. ```

2665

```

An impossible friendship:

Between my mind’s

Blighting unwillingness

And my heart’s

Cheerful willingness.

```

2666

```

Temptation-food

Is always full of calories.

Aspiration-food

Has no calories.

Therefore, O God-seeker,

Eat aspiration-food

As much as you want to!

```

2667

```

Start to believe once more

In your future promise.

God will grant you

The springboard of His Vision-Eye. ```

2668

```

Even the unlit human in him

Wants nothing

But God’s Satisfaction

In God’s own Way. ```

2669

```

I laugh at your outer success,

I laugh.

I admire your inner progress

More than you can ever imagine. ```

2670

```

Panic-stricken prayers

Are not for God’s Satisfaction

Or His Manifestation on earth.

```

2671

```

Your soul will not allow you

To enter into your heart-temple

With your muddy mind-thoughts.

```

2672

```

Only a ready-made disciple

Can derive

Blessingful and fruitful spiritual wealth

From each and every wise piece of advice

From the Master.

```

2673

```

The modern mind has made

The longest distance-record

Not only in criticising

God the Compassion

But also in running away from

God the Forgiveness. ```

2674

```

The Ambassador of Heaven

Gives only one message to earth:

“O God-lover,

Your life must grow into

An eternal Now.”

```

2675

```

In the inner world

My Inner Pilot cares for me.

In the outer world

He dares for me.

Therefore, I always see

A happy and blessingful oneness

Between my inner world

And my outer world. ```

2676

```

There is such a short span

Between birth and death.

Therefore

It is not possible to see

A fully grown happiness-flower

On earth. ```

2677

```

You have already done

Many bad things.

Do not do the last bad thing!

Do not desecrate your heart-shrine!

For if you do that,

That will be the end

Of your aspiration-life.

```

2678

```

Unless you renew

Your aspiration-permit on time,

Your close connection

With your Inner Pilot

Will cease.

```

2679

```

I wrote a confidential letter

To my Lord Supreme this morning.

Therefore

He has made a Compassion-Call to me

On the inner plane.

```

2680

```

God has made me a member

Of His intimate Family,

Not because I have done something,

Not because I have become something,

But because God wants to prove

To the world at large

That even the worst creation of His

Can become a member

Of His intimate Family

If He so desires. ```

2681

```

Unless God can make me worthy

Of His transcendental Height,

His Vision will not succeed.

Therefore

He will definitely take me

To His own highest Height

Of self-transcendence.

```

2682

```

Your mind is looking

For a messiah.

Alas, it fails to see

That it already has a messiah:

Confusion-prince.

```

2683

```

My heart longs for God.

My soul communes with God.

My life works for God.

```

2684

```

Be brave!

The future of your choice

Will definitely expedite

Your God-journey. ```

2685

```

Aspiration-garden

Will become dry

If there is no

Enthusiasm-gardener. ```

2686

```

Since your enemies

Will not relax willingly,

You must not allow

Your heart’s adamantine will

To relax.

```

2687

```

You are a fool!

You are expecting everything

From a pointless

And fruitless life. ```

2688

```

Pessimistic predictions

Must be ignored

Like feeble and useless ants.

```

2689

```

If your mind-lawyer

Cross-examines you,

Do not be afraid,

For your soul will come to your aid

With its effulgence-light.

```

2690

```

Since he does not mind

If he loses

In the battlefield of life,

He feels that

He does not have to choose

Between fleeting time and Eternity. ```

2691

```

Man’s longest marathon

Is from a frustration-life

To an illumination-soul.

```

2692

```

His life is lost

Between his mind’s ugliness-wall

And his heart’s willingness-door.

```

2693

```

God wants me to write

A very simple and soulful book

So that every day

He can read and appreciate it

And inspire and teach me to write

A better and simpler book. ```

2694

```

Help your life

To proceed every morning

With ant-perseverance.

```

2695

```

If you have the willingness

To offer your gratitude-life,

Then God definitely has the Heart

To give you absolutely the best

Exchange rate.

```

2696

```

There is no free parking

On earth,

Even if you are

A direct God-messenger. ```

2697

```

I am happy

Because I still need God.

God is happy

Because I still love Him. ```

2698

```

Borrow anything from God,

As long as you are grateful

To yourself

For having the wisdom

To borrow from God

And not from anybody else. ```

2699

```

To be illumined

By God’s Compassion-Eye,

My outer name

Should be surrender

And my inner name

Should be gratitude. ```

2700

```

At long last

God is making my surrender-life

Worthy of His Compassion-Eye.
