Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 48

4701

```

Lightning-fast progress

You have made

Just because you have invoked

God’s Forgiveness-Ocean

And His Compassion-Sky.

```

4702

```

Your soul does not want

Your heart

To fall into the deep

Oblivion-chasm. ```

4703

```

A moment’s slackness

Can delay your heart’s

Conscious oneness with God

Indefinitely. ```

4704

```

You are such a fool!

You want to take a holiday

From reality-life.

```

4705

```

You must realise

That your wisdom-reality

Is infinitely stronger

Than your ignorance-dream. ```

4706

```

If you have the time

To think of God-manifestation,

Then you must have the time

To think of God-realisation first. ```

4707

```

Meditate with greatest enthusiasm

If you want to make the fastest progress

In your aspiration-heart

And in your dedication-life. ```

4708

```

There can be no

Dedication-garden

Without satisfaction-flowers.

```

4709

```

Now that wisdom-light

Has dawned upon him,

He is immediately repairing

His doubt-created mind-damage. ```

4710

```

If you can climb a little,

God will definitely help you

Climb His own

Transcendental Life-Tree. ```

4711

```

My heart’s willingness

Is my life’s only official passport

To visit God’s

Self-Transcendence-Kingdom. ```

4712

```

You have now turned

Completely to God.

Therefore

God has given you

His Infinity’s immortal Address.

```

4713

```

Alas,

You have not fulfilled

Your promise.

Therefore

God’s Hope-Seeds

Are all destroyed! ```

4714

```

God’s Justice-Scale

Will frighten you,

But His Compassion-Scale

Will only enlighten you. ```

4715

```

You wanted to reach God

With your mind’s brilliance.

You have badly failed.

There is another way

You can try to reach God:

With your heart’s surrender-smile. ```

4716

```

If you misuse opportunity,

All your blossoming hopes

Will before long be destroyed.

```

4717

```

The mind’s perfection

And the life’s transformation

Are absolutely indispensable

In any human life. ```

4718

```

Keep your heart

Always independent of your mind

So that God can share with you

His supreme Ecstasy. ```

4719

```

My Lord was pleased

When He saw

Only one surrender-wave

In my life-sea. ```

4720

```

It seems that my Lord

Has only one thing to do

Day in and day out:

Amplify my heart’s aspiration-cry. ```

4721

```

If you do not pay any attention

To your inner life’s

Emergency signals,

You are bound to sink

In your outer life’s

Destruction-sea. ```

4722

```

If I have to choose

Between God’s Grace and God’s Love,

I will definitely choose God’s Grace,

For I know perfectly well

That God’s Love will follow God’s Grace.

```

4723

```

To please

Without being pleased in return:

This is an experience

That God gets every day

From His creation.

```

4724

```

A fire-pure change of heart

Was the turning point

In his aspiration-life-career.

```

4725

```

What has saved and illumined my life?

Not my possession-life,

But my cheerful surrender-breath

To my Lord’s Will. ```

4726

```

Everything in life will fade

Into insignificance-night

When God’s Compassion-Light dawns

Upon your aspiration-life. ```

4727

```

God-realisation

Is the final challenge,

But not

An unattainable challenge. ```

4728

```

You are in search of something

To rely on.

Try your soul’s

Illumination-sky! ```

4729

```

If you have the courage to believe

That God loves you unconditionally,

Then you grant God the opportunity

To enjoy His infinite Satisfaction-Delight. ```

4730

```

To meditate

Like a great seeker-soul,

What you need

Is a soulful child-heart. ```

4731

```

If you are a true God-lover,

Then you will definitely feel

That your suffering-life

Is not desired by God. ```

4732

```

Who gives me my heart-lessons

Daily?

Not man,

The self-styled knower,

But God,

The Supreme Lover. ```

4733

```

Every day

Set a new goal,

Even if you have failed

To reach your previous goals. ```

4734

```

If you have an inner cry,

Then you must never allow it to hide.

You must urge it to reveal itself

And touch God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

4735

```

My mind does not know

That it is being followed

By a frustration-panther.

My heart does not know

That it is being followed

By a peace-lamb. ```

4736

```

If you can live

Inside your silence-heart,

Then you can easily establish

Your satisfaction-delight

For humanity to enjoy.

```

4737

```

The sadness

Of an unfulfilled dream

Has prevented him from coming out

Of the dark doubt-room. ```

4738

```

Alas,

I do not know

When my golden Boatman

Will arrive

With His golden Dream-Boat.

```

4739

```

God is definitely

Counting on you.

For God’s sake,

Don’t disappoint Him! ```

4740

```

Tame your vital-beast!

Otherwise, before long,

Your bellowing vital-beast

Will devour you. ```

4741

```

It is you who have created

Your own misery

By arguing

With the divine in you

And by disobeying

The Supreme in you. ```

4742

```

Just by avoiding the doubt-enemy

You cannot become happy.

You have to completely conquer

The doubt-enemy

Once and for all.

```

4743

```

At long last,

I am so happy to hear,

The surrender-bells

Of my aspiration-life

Are tolling.

```

4744

```

Do you know

That God is holding

A perfection-party?

I am sure

He is going to invite you.

Therefore

Be fully prepared

For His Invitation. ```

4745

```

To improve your future

You must prove that you belong

To God’s Compassion-Light

Alone. ```

4746

```

Two momentous questions:

Does God, the Beloved Supreme,

Exist for me?

And do I, the God-seeker,

Exist for God?

```

4747

```

Yes, you have seen

My body sleeping.

But have you not seen

That my heart is fully awake? ```

4748

```

God wanted me to tell you

That you must not allow your mind

To house unwashed thoughts

Any more. ```

4749

```

If you do not shorten

Your lethargy-hours,

You will not be able to lengthen

Your energy-days. ```

4750

```

Ask your life

If its dedication

Is up-to-date.

Ask your heart

If its destination

Is up-to-date.

Ask yourself

If your oneness with God’s Will

Is up-to-date.

```

4751

```

If you have an inspiring past,

Then add to it your aspiring present

And finally,

Add to your past and present

Your surrendering future.

```

4752

```

O Heaven,

Do allow me to try

Once more

To smile powerfully

With you.

```

4753

```

A joyful God-seeker

Will definitely be able

To meet with God,

The playful Lover. ```

4754

```

O smile of Heaven,

I am sorry to have missed you today.

But I assure you,

Tomorrow I am not going to miss you. ```

4755

```

You want to know

Who he is.

He is his insatiable thirst

For his silence-meditation. ```

4756

```

Two unexpected disasters:

God does not care for my needs.

I have forgotten God

The Compassion-Heart. ```

4757

```

If you can be above

Your mind’s demands,

You can easily command

Your soulless animal-life. ```

4758

```

If you want to walk secretly

On God’s sacred Pathway,

Then always sing

Your heart-songs. ```

4759

```

If you are not ruthlessly strict

With your lethargy-life,

Then your heart’s soul-education

Will never begin. ```

4760

```

If you do not make yourself

Useful to God,

How can God ever make you fruitful

To please both Heaven and earth? ```

4761

```

Every day try to sing

A newness-song.

Then you will not hear

The voice of world-illusion. ```

4762

```

God has no ulterior motive

When He tells you

He will give you

His Heart’s limitless Treasure

Unconditionally.

```

4763

```

Because you are God’s

Choice instrument,

He has given you the capacity

To replace the fleeting

With the everlasting.

```

4764

```

Where do I stand?

I stand in between

My heart, the doer,

And my soul, the witness. ```

4765

```

You call it your heart’s

Gratitude-second.

God calls it His Life’s

Satisfaction-Day. ```

4766

```

God wants only one thing

From me:

He wants me to make my heart

The star of my earth-show. ```

4767

```

Birthless is the soul’s

Education-life.

Endless is the soul’s

God-manifestation-life. ```

4768

```

My purity-heart

Is the priceless gift

From my Absolute Beloved Supreme.

```

4769

```

He and his aspiration-heart

Were both killed together

By his stupid mind’s

Doubt-bullet. ```

4770

```

If you are

Your doubt-destroying mind,

Then God will become

His self-giving Heart. ```

4771

```

I am going to wash my mind

Every day.

Then my heart and I

Shall climb up

My life’s perfection-tree.

```

4772

```

The finite in me

Desires God the Infinite.

Indeed, this is my Lord’s

Unrecognised miracle. ```

4773

```

Whether you care for it

Or not,

Your soul will never stop

Its unconditional

Whispering guidance-light.

```

4774

```

There is no such thing

As lasting defeat,

Since there is no such thing

As being unwanted by God. ```

4775

```

The fool in me believes

In my mind’s constant promises.

The wise man in me believes

In my Lord’s self-giving Promise-Delight. ```

4776

```

He who thinks that experience

Is not essential

Will not be recruited by Heaven

To become a hero-warrior

In its army.

```

4777

```

Your aspiration-shrine

Is collapsing.

Your devotion-temple

Is crumbling.

Yet you expect to see

Satisfaction-duty

In your life.

```

4778

```

Your inner life

Is unimaginably frail.

How can you then expect

To sail with God

In His Golden Boat?

```

4779

```

Persistently

He has dismissed temptation.

Therefore

God is infinitely more pleased

With him

Than he can ever imagine. ```

4780

```

Ask your heart-gardener

To sow only the seeds

Of God-Satisfaction.

```

4781

```

The mind thinks

That flattery is most delicious.

The heart knows

That flattery is not at all

Nourishing.

```

4782

```

I need only my heart’s happiness

To cry sleeplessly

For God-manifestation

Here on earth. ```

4783

```

You must satisfy God

Unconditionally.

Otherwise, your achievement

Will be far below

Your soul’s expectation-light.

```

4784

```

Never blame God!

He never asked you

To gamble away

Your heart’s treasure-wealth

At the temptation-racetrack

Of your vital. ```

4785

```

If you are a hero-seeker,

Then all your tomorrows

Will surrender to your today.

```

4786

```

If you can spread

Your heart’s redolent eagerness,

Then yours will be

God’s Transformation-Touch. ```

4787

```

God is dying for

Your longing heart

And not for

Your doubting mind. ```

4788

```

God sometimes pretends

That He knows nothing

And He is as uncertain

As an ordinary human being.

This is the only way

He can expedite humanity’s progress:

By descending to its own level

Of consciousness. ```

4789

```

I gave God what I have

And what I am:

My willingness.

God is now giving me

What He has and what He is:

His Fulness. ```

4790

```

The first and the last step

Must be taken

Soulfully and sleeplessly:

I love God.

I love God unconditionally.

```

4791

```

Because you have given

Your undivided attention

To your God-life,

God is celebrating

The stupendous success

Of your outer life

And the momentous progress

Of your inner life. ```

4792

```

He feels that there is always

A yawning gulf

Between the envisioned reality-life

And the fulfilled reality-breath. ```

4793

```

The great thunder-sound

Of your mind’s success-life

Definitely has nothing to do with

Your heart’s progress-light. ```

4794

```

God may accept your wish

If you do not want to become great.

But He will never accept your refusal

To become another God. ```

4795

```

Accept only one challenge in life:

God-realisation.

All other challenges

Are worthless. ```

4796

```

You must have

At least this much faith in God:

That He is going to solve

Your spiritual problems,

Only it may not be

At your choice hour. ```

4797

```

Your chosen summit

And God’s chosen summit for you

Are totally different.

You must aspire to reach

Only one summit:

Needless to say,

God’s Perfection-Summit.

```

4798

```

You are dreaming of

A peace-life

Without offering God

Your surrender-life! ```

4799

```

I am now intensely inspired

In all my being

To sing only one song:

Self-improvement. ```

4800

```

Mine is the heart

That desperately needs God’s Love.

Mine is the life

That desperately needs God’s Compassion. ```
