Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 41

4001

```

Secretly I placed my old life

At God’s Feet.

Openly, cheerfully and unconditionally

God handed me His own Life. ```

4002

```

God’s Compassion-Heart

Makes His Eternity’s long Story

Short,

And this Story He narrates

Only to those

Who are eager to become

Part and parcel

Of His Immortality’s Smile. ```

4003

```

The distance between

God and the God-lover

Is always measured

In the heart of oneness-time. ```

4004

```

God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Touched the very core

Of your remorseful tears

Long before you became conscious

Of your tears.

```

4005

```

My aspiration-heart

Is always a cheerful giver.

My suspicion-mind

Is not even a willing taker. ```

4006

```

For the first time in his life

He thinks and feels

That God is planning

His aspiration-training schedule. ```

4007

```

If you are beginning

To believe in God,

You will be able to see yourself

Coming out of expectation-ambush

And entering into satisfaction-garden.

```

4008

```

In the morning he becomes

A towering meditation-mountain.

In the evening he becomes

A flowering satisfaction-sky. ```

4009

```

O my mind,

You want many things,

But what you actually need

Is a long silence-sleep. ```

4010

```

Do you long to listen

To God?

If you are longing,

God will give you

Not only enthusiasm-waves,

But also success-sea. ```

4011

```

The universal Oneness-Heart

Wants you to cry.

The transcendental Oneness-Soul

Wants your life to fly. ```

4012

```

His heart has inherited

Forgiveness-Satisfaction

From God Himself.

```

4013

```

His ego-life ended

Only when his oneness-heart

He offered to mankind

For its outer and inner progress. ```

4014

```

Don’t worry, don’t worry!

Your heart will eventually win

In the battlefield of life

In spite of your mind. ```

4015

```

God’s Compassion can be seen

With man’s possession,

But man’s possession can never be seen

With God’s Satisfaction-Delight. ```

4016

```

The ups and downs of aspiration-kite

Are quite natural today.

But tomorrow the aspiration-kite

Must fly only high, higher, highest. ```

4017

```

The heart believes

In endless education.

Therefore

Its teacher, the soul,

Is always ready

With its ever-contributing

Illumination.

```

4018

```

For faith to mingle

With miracles

Is as easy

As God’s granting

A Perfection-Smile.

```

4019

```

I gazed and gazed

Upon the blue-white horizon

And watched a thought-free world

Entering into my heart’s aspiration-cry. ```

4020

```

What I want from God

Is a powerful Smile.

What God wants from me

Is a soulful cry. ```

4021

```

A childish dream I used to have.

I used to see God losing to me

In cleverness-contest.

Now a childlike dream every night I have.

God and I play hide-and-seek

In God’s Heart-Palace. ```

4022

```

With my soul’s adamantine certitude

I shall conquer

My life’s stupid nothingness-pride.

```

4023

```

Each aspiring heart

Is destined to sing

With tomorrow’s dawn

In the Heart-Garden

Of the Absolute Supreme.

```

4024

```

Undoubtedly

The mind is a road.

But while walking along

This road

There comes a time

When we realise

That this particular road

Goes nowhere. ```

4025

```

If God has examined you,

Then you are bound to pass,

For He knows that if you fail,

It will be His loss,

And also

It will be His added endeavour

To make you perfect.

```

4026

```

There is only one secret

In human life,

And that secret is:

God is not keeping

His Perfection-Satisfaction

All for Himself.

He is both secretly and openly

Giving away His Perfection-Satisfaction

To humanity.

```

4027

```

The expansion of a seeker’s heart

Is the Satisfaction of God

Not only here on earth

But also in Heaven. ```

4028

```

Each undivine intention

Of the human mind

Eventually will meet with perdition.

```

4029

```

The mind needs constant freshness,

The heart needs constant oneness,

The life needs constant newness.

Then only do we become

Conscious and helpful members

Of God’s Family. ```

4030

```

An innocence-life

Is always guided

By God’s Perfection-bestowing Height.

```

4031

```

God always treats you

As His dearest child.

But where is your heart

To feel it,

And where is your mind

To believe it? ```

4032

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Has forgiven my life,

Saved my heart

And inspired my mind

To a new God-oriented life.

```

4033

```

A simplicity-life

Is the satisfaction-smile

Of God’s Beauty in man.

```

4034

```

You are not responsible

For your neighbour’s possessions,

But you are definitely responsible

For your neighbour’s aspiration-cry

And dedication-smile.

```

4035

```

My mind’s silver desire

Is to become

As powerful as God.

My heart’s golden desire

Is to become

An unconditionally surrendered breath

Of God’s Satisfaction-Will. ```

4036

```

Frustration-life

Is only a few feet ahead

Of disaster-tiger!

```

4037

```

God is always eager and anxious

To trade His Compassion-Sun

For a prayer-flame of mine.

```

4038

```

If you want to be

A choice instrument of God,

Then live always

In the prosperous vicinity of faith

And never

In the dangerous vicinity of doubt. ```

4039

```

You are desiring

The heart of satisfaction.

Can you not see

That your body is already lost

Totally

In the temptation-valley? ```

4040

```

God’s Satisfaction-Home

May be far away from you.

Again, do you not realise

That your perfection-heart

Is also far away from God?

```

4041

```

Either you become

God’s alone,

Or you have to become

All yours.

There is no other alternative.

```

4042

```

Yesterday I fought

With my doubtful and confusing mind.

Today I am fighting

With my imperfection-self.

Tomorrow God and I together

Shall celebrate my victory-life. ```

4043

```

If you are boarding

Your self-transcendence-plane,

Then rest assured,

God’s transcendental Heights

Will never be denied to you.

```

4044

```

Your soul will never allow God

To lower the price

Of your life’s divine satisfaction.

```

4045

```

No human power

Can tie the soul,

For it wants only to be tied

By the divine power,

Love.

```

4046

```

God right now does not want

A reality-partner.

He wants to be satisfied

Only with a dream-partner. ```

4047

```

Who can resist

His heart’s enthusiasm

To transform humanity’s face

And perform divinity’s dance

On earth-stage?

```

4048

```

Insecurity,

You are not appreciated.

Impurity,

You are not appreciated.

Faith,

You are not only appreciated

But also admired.

Surrender,

You are not only appreciated

And admired,

But also adored.

Gratitude,

You are not only appreciated,

Admired and adored,

But also loved.

```

4049

```

My conscious and constant

Need of God

Is a supreme secret.

This supreme secret neither God nor I

Want to share with anybody else.

```

4050

```

God the Compassion

Does not believe in calculation.

Therefore

He does not want

His Calculator to work

At any time. ```

4051

```

If you hold God

In your daily thoughts,

God will travel with you

All the time,

Not only physically

But also mentally.

He will travel with you physically

To strengthen you.

He will travel with you mentally

To illumine you. ```

4052

```

Everything of God

I love deeply,

But His earth-visiting

Forgiveness-Feet

I love most.

```

4053

```

To live a simple life

Is to live in wisdom-light.

To live a soulful life

Is to be inseparably one

With God’s infinite Delight.

```

4054

```

A mind of doubt

Is the fatal beginning

Of the seeker’s self-destruction.

```

4055

```

O my mind,

Do not be afraid

Of your soul’s silence!

Your soul’s silence-light

Is going to illumine

The undivine in you

And manifest

The divine in you. ```

4056

```

God has given my heart

An eternal name:

Aspiration.

God has given me

An eternal name:

Surrender. ```

4057

```

What is disobedience

If not a catastrophic experience

In a seeker’s aspiration-life?

```

4058

```

Ecstasy-explorers

Must climb up perfection-peaks

To become one with God’s

Self-Transcendence-Satisfaction. ```

4059

```

If you can cut down

Your mind’s ingratitude-tree,

Then God will grant you

His Heart’s Vastness-Property. ```

4060

```

My Lord asks me to show Him

Only one soulful thing.

And what do I do?

In return I ask Him to give me

A good many fruitful things.

```

4061

```

Two changes

Will make your vital better:

Ask your vital

To be more pure.

Ask your vital

To be less demanding. ```

4062

```

Since your mind is always busy,

Can you not ask your heart

To be of help to you

In receiving God’s infinite

Compassion-Light?

```

4063

```

My mind’s employer

Is doubt, the unknown.

My heart’s employer

Is Delight, the Unknowable. ```

4064

```

When God knocks

At my heart’s door,

I immediately become faithful

To my heart’s life. ```

4065

```

These are the two messages

Of Heaven:

God is always for you.

You will eventually become

Another God.

```

4066

```

My heart is not smart,

But my heart is always expert

In following God’s Compassion-Eye

And God’s Forgiveness-Heart. ```

4067

```

Doubt has the audacity

To declare everything wrong

In God’s entire creation.

```

4068

```

The human in us

Does not love a loser.

The divine in us

Sympathises with a loser.

The Supreme in us

Is undoubtedly both the Winner

And the Loser.

```

4069

```

His folded hands of humility

Are given the right

To take a short-cut

While running towards

Tomorrow’s destination.

```

4070

```

With your mind’s dimly lit

Inspiration-lamp,

How can you hope to awaken

The aspiration-life of mankind? ```

4071

```

Deep inside humanity’s heart

I wish to see, admire, adore

And finally love

Only the silence-seekers. ```

4072

```

Your absent-minded meditation

Can easily say “No”

To God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

4073

```

Alas,

His life is firmly seated

In failure,

Because he made friends

With disobedience-night.

```

4074

```

O stupid ignorance,

Would you tell me,

Since when have you become

My boss?

My Boss, my only Boss,

Is my Beloved Supreme. ```

4075

```

His mind has opened

A disobedience-school.

In that school

Everybody is getting

The chaos-diploma.

```

4076

```

Look ahead.

What do you see?

Frustration!

Look behind.

What do you see?

Destruction!

Alas, you are in between

A frustration-bull

And a destruction-panther.

```

4077

```

When disappointment strikes you

Powerfully,

There is only one way to escape,

And that way is to remember

How many times

And in how many ways

You have pleased your Beloved Supreme.

```

4078

```

A swimmer in ignorance-sea

Will eventually become

A God-lover,

For no ignorance-sea-swimmer

Will have the capacity

To dislike God forever. ```

4079

```

To be a conscious partner of God

Is not a difficult task,

For God’s Vision-Eye

Every day

Inspires each human being

To be His closest partner. ```

4080

```

If you have a brave heart,

Then you can have a new life.

If you have a new life,

Then you are bound

To feel the Heart and see the Face

Of a new God.

Who is that new God?

Your own transformed reality. ```

4081

```

The music of the heart

Is the sweetness

That has a free access

To the all-embracing Oneness-Heart

Of God.

```

4082

```

My old inner prayer was:

“God, give me the power to become great.”

My new inner prayer is:

“My Lord, give me the power

To become an unconditional instrument

Of Yours.” ```

4083

```

Your heart-eye is the only eye

That can see

The perfection-beauty of Heaven

And the satisfaction-heart

Of the cosmic gods.

```

4084

```

Every day God’s God-Hour can strike.

But where is your conscious

And soulful willingness

To anchor your life-boat

In God’s Delight-Harbour?

```

4085

```

Don’t worry about your heart-room!

Your daily meditation most gladly

And most satisfactorily

Will take care of it. ```

4086

```

Even your mind’s closed door

Will open up

As soon as it hears

God-Heart’s Compassion-Knock. ```

4087

```

Two enemies,

Life and death,

Both pray to God

For the same boon:

Immortality.

```

4088

```

If your life lives

In a dark corner

Of your mind-room,

Then I can easily see

Your spiritual death

Right in your face. ```

4089

```

From humanity,

When I expect anything,

My expectation is nothing but

A life-devouring experience.

From divinity,

When I expect anything,

My expectation is nothing other than

A life-illumining realisation. ```

4090

```

When you are dealing with your mind,

You must be a sincere inspector.

When you are dealing with your heart,

You must be a sincere lover. ```

4091

```

In your life of aspiration

You never need a tremendous mind.

What you need is a spacious heart.

```

4092

```

Because of my self-styled guidance,

I am unable to arrive

At God’s Golden Gate.

```

4093

```

Because you hesitated

To call on God yesterday,

Today you are pitifully crying.

And if you hesitate

To call on God today,

Tomorrow you will unmistakably die! ```

4094

```

There are two ways

To win forgiveness:

One way is to tell God,

“My Lord,

I shall not do it again!”

The other way is to ask God,

“My Lord,

Please show me the way

To live consciously in You

And for You.” ```

4095

```

Unless you ignore life’s endless demands,

Your soul will not be able to make

A glorious beginning

In your God-manifestation-journey. ```

4096

```

God’s Compassion-Eye on me

Is for God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

Indeed, today I am blessed

With this new vision-dawn

In my life of dedication.

```

4097

```

Today my life

Is a winding experience-path

And my heart

Is a binding experience-path.

But I know tomorrow

My life shall be

A liberating realisation-journey

And my heart shall be

An immortalising realisation-journey.

```

4098

```

Slowly and steadily

Your inner sun is rising.

That means God is blessingfully binding

Your entire existence

In a new way.

```

4099

```

If you do not use

Your aspiration-wings

Daily,

You will not only displease God,

But also increase

Your destruction-flowing doubts

And fears.

```

4100

```

My Lord,

I thank You deeply

For three daily miracles:

I love You only,

I need You only,

And I belong to You only. ```
