Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 49

4801

```

Every morning I must realise

That I have the golden opportunity

Of an unused day before me

To use in a divine way. ```

4802

```

God compassionately gave me

My eternal name:

Aspiration.

I unconditionally gave my Lord

His eternal Name:

Compassion.

```

4803

```

On my heart’s stage

I have had quite a few performers.

Nobody has satisfied me.

Therefore, I have invited

A totally new Performer:

My Beloved Supreme. ```

4804

```

Do not fool yourself!

Do not try to convert falsehood

Into truth.

It is a thankless and useless task.

You simply cannot do it!

```

4805

```

Man’s Heaven-visiting hours

Depend on man’s

Surrender-delight.

God’s earth-visiting hours

Depend on God’s

Unconditional Compassion.

```

4806

```

In vain

God has been looking

For millennia

For His Vision-partner. ```

4807

```

At long last

My life is able to board

My Lord’s Forgiveness-Plane.

```

4808

```

Insincerity,

You are not admired.

Impurity,

You are despised.

Ingratitude,

You should be hanged! ```

4809

```

Yesterday I fought with God

With my impurity-breath.

Today I am dancing with God

With my purity-heart. ```

4810

```

If you do not think much

Of God,

How do you expect

A Satisfaction-Letter

From God?

```

4811

```

Now that I have cut down

My heart’s ingratitude-tree,

God is opening His Heart-Door

Unconditionally

And will leave it open

Eternally. ```

4812

```

Two changes

Will make your mind perfect:

Do not allow your mind

To be your teacher.

Do not allow your mind

To doubt you, your sincerity. ```

4813

```

If you can be eager to receive

Blessings from God,

Then rest assured that God

Will be fond of granting you

His blessingful Favour.

```

4814

```

God is really sad

When He sees that He is

Your second-best friend.

God is not happy

When He sees that He happens to be

Only your best friend.

God will be happy and proud

Of Himself and of you

Only when you consider Him to be

Your only Friend. ```

4815

```

My grief and my sorrows

Flew away

When I received a Forgiveness-Letter

From my Beloved Supreme. ```

4816

```

You have simply no idea

How selective God can be at times.

Therefore, I urge you to be

Perfect at every moment

In every way

Both in your outer life

And in your inner life.

```

4817

```

If you cheerfully admit

Your teeming follies,

Then God the Compassion

And God the Satisfaction

Will not remain strangers to you.

```

4818

```

If you demand instant realisation,

Then you will be compelled

To suffer the greatest defeat,

Both unimaginable and laughable,

If not unpardonable.

```

4819

```

My mind often feels lost

When it sees

The purity, beauty and divinity

Of my heart. ```

4820

```

You will never be able to climb

Perfection-peaks

Because of the catastrophic disobedience

Of your vital

In your aspiration-life.

```

4821

```

Everybody needs an invitation

From God.

But impurity and insecurity

Do not care for

His formal Invitation.

```

4822

```

Invite purity’s life

On the strength of your sincerity.

Invite divinity’s breath

On the strength of your purity-life. ```

4823

```

You fool,

When are you going to unburden

Your stupid mind-donkey?

```

4824

```

Wisdom-light is infinitely better

Than weak pride.

This is the unmistakable experience

Of all truth-seekers and God-lovers. ```

4825

```

God wants to perfect your dream-life.

Can you not sit for a moment

Under His

Compassion-Protection-Illumination-Tree? ```

4826

```

Poor anxiety

Has to live unwillingly

In the dangerous vicinity

Of doubt! ```

4827

```

He was extremely happy

To trade his proud intelligence

For a soulful prayer.

```

4828

```

God’s Calculator

Is unlike ours.

It does not know

How to subtract.

It only adds and multiplies.

For whom?

For mankind.

```

4829

```

Learn every day

A new way of living,

For that is the only way

You can please your Beloved Supreme

Most satisfactorily.

```

4830

```

God’s Satisfaction-Home

Is still quite far,

But it does definitely exist.

```

4831

```

When he gave up

His aspiration-life,

He never thought

He would be totally lost

In the temptation-valley.

```

4832

```

Why do you not trust God,

Only God,

When there are many people around you

Who can easily deceive you?

Why do you not trust yourself

When nobody is around you

And nobody is for you?

```

4833

```

Alas, alas,

He is deliberately feeding

His aspiration-devouring doubt.

```

4834

```

His heart’s illumination-sun

Has at last put an end

To his close encounters

With his confusion-mind. ```

4835

```

Your life of receptivity

Entirely depends on

Your heart’s prayerful spontaneity.

```

4836

```

You are such a fool!

Why did you allow your stupid mind

To be accepted into

The eyeless frustration-fraternity? ```

4837

```

Yesterday

God selected him

To be man’s most faithful servant.

Today

God is selecting him

To be His absolutely perfect

Representative on earth. ```

4838

```

You can be my friend

Only if you want to become

An unconditional volunteer

To voice God’s Victory

Sleeplessly.

```

4839

```

Why do you want me to look

At your hesitation-mind

And frustration-vital?

Do you think I have nothing better to do? ```

4840

```

You are such a fool!

Do you not see

That you are increasing

Your incarnations

By mixing with your stupid friends:

Desires! ```

4841

```

Your leave of absence

From aspiration-school

Has turned your mind

Into a monkey

And your heart

Into a donkey. ```

4842

```

Expectation-seeds grow into

Not only severe

But also chronic headaches.

```

4843

```

Frustration-traveller

Is not allowed to walk alone.

He is forced to carry

Right on his shoulder

A grief-bag.

```

4844

```

Heaven is always ready

To welcome hell into its house.

But hell, in its blind pride,

Finds it beneath its dignity

To accept Heaven’s invitation.

```

4845

```

He is at once chosen

By God’s Satisfaction

And rejected

By humanity’s hesitation. ```

4846

```

He does not remember

That he unconsciously hid

A temptation-time-bomb

Inside his vital-closet. ```

4847

```

The heart’s willingness

Is always ready

To enjoy the company

Of cheerful lives. ```

4848

```

Obedience knows

Many divine things.

Disobedience knows

Only one unpardonable thing:

God-denial.

```

4849

```

Do not allow

Your mind’s clouds

To hover over

Your heart’s aspiration-tree. ```

4850

```

Because you are so stupid,

You are cautiously approaching

Your own aspiration-heart.

```

4851

```

His is the vastly untidy life

That is always engrossed

In confusing life-projects.

```

4852

```

A seeker’s heart-cry

And a seeker’s life-smile

Are the two most delicious fruits

That his Beloved Supreme

Enjoys most.

```

4853

```

O my mind,

Why didn’t you tell me

That insecurity was desperately trying

To strangle you?

I could have prayed to my soul

To come to your rescue. ```

4854

```

Each night

His aspiration-heart

Elopes

With God’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

4855

```

Do not add more imperfection

To your mind:

Do not convince your mind

To belittle your heart’s aspiration. ```

4856

```

God is giving man

New work to do.

He does not want man

To mourn his fleeting breath

Any more.

```

4857

```

Just because he allowed dimness

To cloud his mind yesterday,

Today darkness

Is enveloping his heart. ```

4858

```

I am not the only one.

God, too, feels sad

To see the decay

Of your aspiring heart. ```

4859

```

Because your faith is false,

You are failing

In your inner life

And you are imprisoning

Your outer life.

```

4860

```

Do not refuse

God’s three most significant Gifts:

His Compassion-Eye,

His Satisfaction-Heart,

His Oneness-Life.

```

4861

```

Perhaps you have not

The slightest idea

What you have done:

You have damaged

God’s Compassion-Crown.

```

4862

```

Because of your heart’s

Inner beauty,

Your life is able to claim God

As its very own. ```

4863

```

God wants us to celebrate

The dying life of ignorance

And not to parade

The tortures of living death. ```

4864

```

Insecurity has betrayed you.

This time guard yourself

With your universal oneness-heart.

```

4865

```

Your mind may relax

On the clouds of illusion.

Your heart can relax

Only inside the heart

Of illumination-sun.

```

4866

```

Every day God changes

His Fishing Rod,

For every day He has to catch

Ultramodern God-longing fish. ```

4867

```

Because you have allowed your mind

To be encaged by insecurity,

Yours is a life of colossal failure.

```

4868

```

Faith-flame I do not see

Inside him any more.

What I see in him

Is only doubt-smoke,

And this smoke

Is suffocating his aspiration-life. ```

4869

```

If you do not live up to

Your spiritual standard,

Which is absolutely necessary,

Then do not blame God.

Blame your ill-fated life.

```

4870

```

God could not understand

When he asked God

For a personal loan.

God said to him,

“The term ‘loan’ is not available

In My Heart-Dictionary.

Self-giving is the correct word

To be found in My Heart-Dictionary.” ```

4871

```

When your heart thinks for you,

You are safe,

For God is always pleased

With your purity-heart. ```

4872

```

An unexpected inner cry

Has turned his life’s frustration

Into a most powerful

Aspiration-delight. ```

4873

```

A forced surrender

Is no surrender.

Eventually it will end

In a catastrophic revolt. ```

4874

```

Your mind lives

In only one world,

But your heart can live

And does live

In many worlds at the same time

On the strength

Of its vast oneness-capacity.

```

4875

```

My seeker-friend,

Do not lose heart.

There was a time

When I too was helplessly lost

In my mind’s desire-life.

```

4876

```

A purity-heart

Is his newly acquired

Inner treasure.

```

4877

```

Man’s ingratitude

And his failure

In the inner world

Are two inseparable friends. ```

4878

```

Delay not, delay not!

You must replace

Your mind’s old impurity-life

With your heart’s new purity-life. ```

4879

```

Desire-ship

Ultimately is bound to dock

At failure-landing.

```

4880

```

You want to know where I live?

I tell you,

I lived, I live and I will forever live

In the powerful clasp of hope. ```

4881

```

If you sing

With your dedication-life,

Then God will teach you

How to dance

With His Satisfaction-Heart.

```

4882

```

If you are crying

Because of the loss

Of your imagination

And the unwanted appearance

Of frustration,

Then you are doing

Two absolutely perfect things.

```

4883

```

When God was alone,

He definitely needed me

To be with Him.

Alas, why was I such a fool

That I would not be

His Vision-Reality-partner? ```

4884

```

Death is forced to retire

When humanity aspires

For its inseparable oneness

With Immortality. ```

4885

```

You have increased your hope-seeds.

That means eventually

You are going to collect

Countless satisfaction-fruits. ```

4886

```

Do you want to be happy?

Then look at God’s Compassion-Eye.

Do you want God to be happy?

Then feel God’s Oneness-Heart. ```

4887

```

Do you know that my future

Is the Eternal Now

And that my Eternal Now

Is God-Immortality’s Satisfaction-Smile? ```

4888

```

If you are shopping

For satisfaction-doll,

Then you must go

To aspiration-mall. ```

4889

```

If you do not join

The faith-committee,

Then your self-doubt-demons

Will devour you. ```

4890

```

His heart’s

Flowering new enthusiasm

Has brought down God

The complete Satisfaction-Heart. ```

4891

```

Beyond my hopes,

Beyond my dreams,

Alas, alas,

Is my Lord’s Satisfaction-Smile. ```

4892

```

I am ready to weep

A fountain of gratitude-tears

If you can convince my mind

To come out of its doubt-prison. ```

4893

```

His inner storm has cleared,

And now he is hearing

The song of perfection-life.

```

4894

```

He is ready to tolerate

Everything undivine in himself

Except one thing:

His mind’s devouring doubts. ```

4895

```

Why are you moving

From one country to another

To find peace?

The sea of peace

Is just inside

Your mind’s silence-sky. ```

4896

```

You talk

To prove that you are right.

He talks

To prove that he exists.

I talk

To prove that I belong to God,

Only God.

```

4897

```

I travelled with God.

He loved me

Not because

I am a man of capacity,

But because

I have a heart of enthusiasm. ```

4898

```

Nothing can bind the soul.

And also,

Nothing can prevent the soul

From illumining the lower worlds

At God’s choice Hour.

```

4899

```

I begged God to lower the price

Of my God-realisation.

Believe it or not,

He immediately agreed.

What is more, He lowered it

Far beyond my imagination! ```

4900

```

My mind’s silver dream

Is to be as great as God.

My heart’s golden dream

Is to become an aspiration-flame

Of God’s transcendental Sun.
