Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 45

4401

```

When God sends for you,

Be determined to be available

At your heart-home.

```

4402

```

The faintest

Of the faraway whispers

Of your heart

God proudly hears. ```

4403

```

My sterile self-torture

Is over.

I am now

My God’s God-Rapture. ```

4404

```

Every morning

His heart imports soulfulness

From Heaven.

```

4405

```

Depression-culprit

Has shamelessly caused

His life’s aspiration-drought.

```

4406

```

Today

My soul is richly enjoying

The total collapse

Of my life’s bondage-bridge. ```

4407

```

Unless you shed

Your mind’s selfishness-skin,

God is not going to give you

His Heart’s Fulness-Smile. ```

4408

```

The business-filled days

Of your desire-life

Have nothing to do with

God’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

4409

```

Since God has no need

To understand me,

Why do I need

To understand God? ```

4410

```

Every day

My mind’s brooding

Hesitation-questions

Baffle me. ```

4411

```

My aspiration-heart,

I adore you

Because you abhor

Lethargy’s tenebrous night. ```

4412

```

Right now

My heart desperately needs

Only one thing:

An island of hope. ```

4413

```

Man’s insecurity-life

And God’s Emergency Room

Are constantly busy.

```

4414

```

Pure is your heart,

Sweet is your faith.

No wonder

You can always smile! ```

4415

```

Today

My soul’s divinity-bird

And my heart’s purity-bird

Are together on the wing. ```

4416

```

How can you ever be

A perfect God-seeker

Unless you have developed

A top-quality heart-cry? ```

4417

```

My Lord, do tell me

The God-honest truth!

Has anybody pleased You

Since the birth of Your creation? ```

4418

```

You must dare to cross

Your heart’s shaky

Insecurity-bridge

As fast as possible! ```

4419

```

To a perfect God-lover

A life of temptation

Is a totally foreign language.

```

4420

```

My mind always

Respectfully enters

My heart’s purity-temple.

```

4421

```

Do you want to discover God?

Then embark

On your love-expedition.

```

4422

```

You are right.

Your spiritual inheritance

Is your soul’s

God-manifestation-promise. ```

4423

```

My Beloved Supreme

Does two things for me:

He simplifies my complexity-mind

And amplifies my purity-heart. ```

4424

```

You must not repeat

Your deplorable mistakes

In the same uncontrollable way.

```

4425

```

My love-deposits

In God’s Heart-Bank

Give God infinite Delight.

```

4426

```

Try to see and feel

That your imitation prayers

Have unthinkable limitations.

```

4427

```

Because God Himself wants you,

He has transformed your tomorrow

Into His Today.

```

4428

```

Who asked you to sleep

When God Himself came to you

And wanted to talk to you?

```

4429

```

When perfection comes in,

My mind

Hesitates to welcome it,

And my heart

Jumps up with ecstasy!

```

4430

```

Alas, how can I forgive myself

When I have allowed

My God-manifestation

To be a forgotten project? ```

4431

```

Each good thought

Definitely marks the beginning

Of a new God-fulfilling dawn.

```

4432

```

His eyes show me

An aspiration-mountain.

His life shows me

A dedication-fountain. ```

4433

```

You can easily ease God’s pain

By increasing a little more

Your heart’s cry.

```

4434

```

We can never get

The heart’s spontaneous happiness

From the mind’s rigid rituals.

```

4435

```

You have to become

A simplified truth-seeker

Before you can become

A certified God-lover. ```

4436

```

Soon your supreme Music Teacher

Will examine you

As you play on the kettledrum

Of delight. ```

4437

```

Nothing was,

Nothing is

And nothing can ever be

Beyond my hope-mountain. ```

4438

```

All you need to understand

Is this:

God does not want you

To try to understand Him. ```

4439

```

Try to keep

Brave and wise company.

Stay with

God’s dedication-troops. ```

4440

```

My Heavenly dreams,

How absurd you are!

My earthly promises,

How useless you are! ```

4441

```

A true God-lover

Is he who is always ready

With his heart’s

Aspiring answer-cries. ```

4442

```

You should be happy and proud

That you are not the producer

Of the world’s criticism-voice.

```

4443[fn:ap4443]

```

As God’s Face

And His Grace

Are inseparable,

Even so I want my heart

And my heart’s cry

To be inseparable.

```

[fn:ap4443] AP 4443,4.

First edition possibly misprinted 4th line as.

Even if I want my heart

4444

```

God loves me.

He loves my helpless heart

More.

He loves my surrender-life

Most.

```

4445

```

My Lord was hungry.

Therefore

He devoured my ignorance-life.

I am hungry.

Therefore

I am devouring my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

```

4446

```

I do not want to live

In the dust of my dead memories

Any more.

```

4447

```

His self-transcending life

Works

At the aspiration-airport.

```

4448

```

You are not

Your mind’s misty haze.

You are

Your heart’s God-loving

And God-pleasing dawn.

```

4449

```

It is never too late

For any heart-sailor

To set out

On an inner voyage. ```

4450

```

When I say

I know the world well,

Immediately I go out of tune

With God’s cosmic Music. ```

4451

```

Humility appears:

Pride surrenders

And disappears.

```

4452

```

To feed your heart

Satisfactorily,

You have to strike your mind

Ruthlessly. ```

4453

```

Meditation

Is the God-Touch

To end my life’s

Teeming frictions. ```

4454

```

I do not want to hear

Your vital’s storm-stories.

I want to hear

Your heart’s God-blossom-stories. ```

4455

```

Eternity

Blessingfully invites

My life’s fleeting time

To enter. ```

4456

```

Unless you bury

Your disobedience-mind,

God is not going to invite you

To become a member

Of His inner Family.

```

4457

```

My faith and I

Are desperately trying

To convince my doubts

To commit suicide

For their own good.

```

4458

```

Stab your uncomely-thought-mind

With your soul’s

Naked knife.

```

4459

```

He who has a gratitude-heart

Will realise

That God’s Delight in him

Is God’s never-ending Beginning. ```

4460

```

Your self-doubt-giant

Is no more.

Therefore, in front of you

You see none other than

The well-pleased God.

```

4461

```

You cannot hide

Your real life

With a false humility-curtain.

```

4462

```

Is there anybody

To whom God will not give

The needed capacity

To renew himself

If he sincerely wants to?

```

4463

```

God the Supreme Pilot

Supremely enjoys

Your heart’s vast silence-sky.

```

4464

```

You must transcend your superiority

By replacing it

With your heart’s oneness-divinity.

```

4465

```

One school of thought says:

God is impartial.

Another school of thought says:

God is partial.

Yet another school of thought says:

God is neutral. ```

4466

```

My Beloved Supreme,

Would You mind

Taking a new look

At my aspiration-heart? ```

4467

```

Aspiration and dedication-workers

Only

Have the unparalleled skills

To build a stairway to God. ```

4468

```

Your jealousy-mind

Wants to die.

Therefore

Your ecstasy-life

Can live forever.

```

4469

```

Now that I dream

Of my unmistakable

Progress-paradise,

God loves me infinitely more. ```

4470

```

If you can quote

From your soul’s wisdom-light,

Then easily you will answer

Life’s most difficult questions. ```

4471

```

Two unfortunate losers:

Earth and Heaven.

Earth has lost its aspiration.

Heaven has lost its satisfaction. ```

4472

```

O my mind,

How long will you remain

A vast reservoir

Of useless doubts? ```

4473

```

It is useless to drag

Your mind’s unwillingness-feet

Towards God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

4474

```

To think that you are impure

And to do nothing about it

Is as stupid

As floundering in the dark

Deliberately.

```

4475

```

His promises run away

Even faster

Than his fleeting thoughts.

```

4476

```

What my mind needs

Is a waveless sea.

What my heart needs

Is a cloudless sky. ```

4477

```

My Lord Supreme has given me

Another chance

To change my ingratitude-heart.

```

4478

```

My aspiration,

Like God’s Compassion,

Will be eternal, infinite and immortal.

```

4479

```

Because of your Heaven-blessed

Sincerity-heart,

Your life will not stray

From God’s Path. ```

4480

```

My hesitation is completely gone.

Therefore

My Lord Supreme has given me

Another chance to advance upward. ```

4481

```

God-responsibility

Does not feel the necessity

Of entering into

Man’s ingratitude-heart-room. ```

4482

```

O my stupid mind,

When are you going to realise

That doubt is a forbidden food?

```

4483

```

Pay no attention

To your past failure-life!

Then nobody will be able

To ridicule you. ```

4484

```

What can I possibly give You,

My Lord,

To be worthy

Of Your Compassion-Eye? ```

4485

```

You have wasted enough time!

Now muster all your courage

For a soulful and powerful

New beginning. ```

4486

```

Give up your self-deception-life

First,

If you want to take up

God’s Time. ```

4487

```

I speak ill of humanity,

But I don’t mean it.

It is just a bad habit —

Unintentional. ```

4488

```

How can your soulless heart

Be loyal

To God’s bountiful Eye?

```

4489

```

Make God your Decision-Maker

If you want to become

A great performer

On the world-stage. ```

4490

```

God is asking me

How many more years

I am going to keep

My heart’s perfection-room

Unfurnished.

```

4491

```

My mind is drawing

A wagon of fear.

Therefore

My life is compelled

To dance with failure.

```

4492

```

God has a very special way

To spell “aspiration”:

C-O-M-P-A-S-S-I-O-N.

```

4493

```

My outer life

Shall never succeed

And my inner life

Shall never proceed

Unless I invent

A totally new surrender-way. ```

4494

```

Go back

To your fond heart-country!

Your Beloved Supreme

Is eagerly waiting for you. ```

4495

```

His God-hungry heart

Is never plagued

By world-hungry desires.

```

4496

```

Negative thoughts

Have the daring spirit

To spread like wildfire.

```

4497

```

No, not even my mind

Is going to be

In the same boat with you,

Since you are telling me

That God is somewhere else.

```

4498

```

Give your heart aspiration.

This is what your heart needs.

Give your life illumination.

This is what your life deserves. ```

4499

```

Your aspiration-life

Will eventually become

The deathless sunrise

Of God-Satisfaction. ```

4500

```

Five all-completing words:

“Lord,

I love You only”.
