Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 59

5801

```

You may not know,

But it is absolutely true:

With each heartbeat

Your heart is calling: “God, God!”

You may not hear it,

But God Himself definitely hears

Your heart’s cry.

```

5802

```

My Lord,

I am as old

As my mind’s investigation.

Now, do make me as old

As my heart’s aspiration.

```

5803

```

You have weighed God

On your mind’s scale.

Therefore

God is too heavy for you,

And it is simply impossible

For your mind to carry God. ```

5804

```

If you are a genuine God-lover,

Then at every moment

Be prepared

For the coming God-Hour. ```

5805

```

I do not need many places

To live in.

I need only one place,

And that place is

My Lord’s Compassion-flooded Eye.

```

5806

```

The God-Hour has arrived.

Are you ready

With your obedience-power?

```

5807

```

A tiny tear can break

Not only a human heart

But also God’s Universal Heart.

```

5808

```

As a tree needs

All its countless branches,

Leaves and flowers,

Even so, the world needs

All its multifarious human capacities.

This is why God may give one thing

To one child of His,

But to another,

Something entirely different.

```

5809

```

In the hour of danger

Ignorance I shall challenge,

I shall,

And thus re-establish

My soul’s confidence-life in me.

```

5810

```

Whenever you hear soulful music,

Become inseparably one with it

And feel that your soul

Is playing that very music

Only for you:

For your heart, for your mind,

For your vital and for your body.

```

5811

```

O my heart,

When you assimilate the inner offering

Of spiritual music,

Which is beauty and divinity,

Do not forget to distribute everything

To my poor body, vital and mind. ```

5812

```

In silence-light

The soul is playing

Its own divine music

For the total transformation

Of the body, vital, mind and heart.

```

5813

```

Before entering

Into the world of sleep,

Listen to soulful music

Even for a few fleeting moments.

You definitely will be able

To go to the higher worlds

Without meditating.

```

5814

```

Opportunity is the force

That helps us live

With the mountaintop-vision.

```

5815

```

While listening to You sing,

Let me also do something, my Lord,

For You.

Let me start loving You more,

Infinitely more.

```

5816

```

You do not have to search

For many things.

Just search for only one thing:

Your missing aspiration-heart. ```

5817

```

What I need is not

A band of faithful souls.

What I need

Is a soulful cry from your heart. ```

5818

```

Alas,

The road that lies

Between my aspiration

And God’s Satisfaction

Is unimaginably long.

```

5819

```

Your doubtful mind must halt

Before it can think

Of loving the Unknown.

```

5820

```

I love the seeker in him

Deeply

Because his thirst

Is for the living God. ```

5821

```

You are ignorant

Of peace.

That means

You are ignorant

Of God’s Compassion.

```

5822

```

If You are really my Lord,

Then every day

Write down Your Laws

In my aspiration-heart. ```

5823

```

A gratitude-heart

Will unmistakably be invited

To God’s Immortality-Feast.

```

5824

```

Even to think of him

Is to have an inner glimpse

Of his unearthly beauty.

```

5825

```

It seems

That your aspiration-life

Will never attain

Maturity’s perfection-tree. ```

5826

```

What is the difference

Between your oneness

And God’s Fulness?

No difference! ```

5827

```

At long last

He has come to realise

That his life has become

A withering flower

Of his teeming dreams.

```

5828

```

You will not take a long time

To fill your heart

If you just empty your mind first.

```

5829

```

How to melt God’s Heart?

Just launder your life

With gratitude-soap.

```

5830

```

What is God’s favourite Game?

His favourite Game

Is His Satisfaction-Smile.

```

5831

```

Unless you do your inner work,

Your faithless mind-dog

Will ceaselessly bark at you.

```

5832

```

I run towards God.

My heart dives

Into God’s Heart-Sea.

My soul soars

Beyond the boundaries

Of despair-night. ```

5833

```

There is only one thing

That I see again and again

In my life,

And that is my Lord’s

Compassion-Forgiveness-Flood.

```

5834

```

If your heart is swimming

In the river of silver tears,

Then God-realisation cannot remain

A far cry. ```

5835

```

Beyond life and death

Is his soul’s

God-manifesting smile.

```

5836

```

Misunderstanding-pain

Is not for the true truth-seeker

And God-lover.

```

5837

```

I ask and ask and ask.

No answer

Is the only answer

I get from within. ```

5838

```

God does not like it

When you go to Him

With whirlwinds of unwanted suggestions.

```

5839

```

Each wrong thought

Is a new entrance

To destruction-death.

```

5840

```

Each new Heaven-promise

Is the birth

Of a new God.

```

5841

```

Each desire in itself

Is power.

Therefore, no desire

Is inconsequential. ```

5842

```

If your heart aches

For the inner heights,

Then you will, without fail,

Be divinely perfect. ```

5843

```

My heart has a special longing

For the aspiration-tree

Of silence-dream.

```

5844

```

Expect thunder-admiration

Only from yourself

And from nobody else.

```

5845

```

His heart was in love

With suffering.

Therefore

Even God’s Compassion

Could not illumine him.

```

5846

```

To love

Is to give soulfully.

To give

Is to become unmistakably.

To become

Is to please God in His own Way. ```

5847

```

I am always grateful to my heart,

For it has given to God

All its glorious possessions —

Love, service and surrender —

So that God will readily accept

My body, vital and mind. ```

5848

```

A seeker must know

That his faith

Is the treasure of treasures

That he must not lose. ```

5849

```

A soul of silence-light

Is indeed

Sovereign on earth.

```

5850

```

My heart’s divine duty

Is to obey.

My life’s supreme duty

Is to surrender. ```

5851

```

Practise

The enlightenment-principle

And not

The excitement-principle. ```

5852

```

Alas,

Why do I always think

That the world

Owes me something?

Why am I such a fool?

```

5853

```

To reach your own mountain-top,

Quicken your heart’s

Silver faith.

```

5854

```

If you are a genuine seeker

Of the infinite Truth,

Then do not ask God to indulge

Even your so-called

Snow-white innocent desires.

```

5855

```

My heart’s love-boat

Has room even for those

Who are suffering

From jealousy-monster. ```

5856

```

Be brave!

Make another bold attempt.

Do not allow yourself to be caught

By the hot tears

Of stark disappointment.

```

5857

```

His heart’s aspiration-cry

Can at any moment

Fling open the door

Of silence-light. ```

5858

```

For a true seeker

There is only one way

To be happy:

By pleasing God,

His Beloved Supreme.

```

5859

```

God has already

Cheerfully claimed and possessed

The strength of my inner love.

```

5860

```

My heart of inner silence

Has destroyed

The strength of my outer violence.

```

5861

```

When God was looking for him,

He was found in the ignorance-crowd

Of the mind.

```

5862

```

How do you dare to drift

Outside the domain

Of your heart’s

Beautiful and fruitful garden? ```

5863

```

My purity-heart always reveals

My soul’s hidden promise

To my life.

```

5864

```

My faith

Is my beauty’s strength

And my purity’s length.

```

5865

```

Stamp your heart

With a gratitude-smile.

You will really be perfect!

```

5866

```

Alas, why do I allow

My mind-sorrows

To float on the tide

Of my heart’s joy? ```

5867

```

Every day, without fail,

God grants him

A silence-illumined appointment.

```

5868

```

Because of your tremendous

Aspiration,

God has asked you to take possession

Of His Infinity. ```

5869

```

You are perfect

Because you are selfless

In your prayerful heart

And soulful life. ```

5870

```

Do not forget

That the road of the past

Is not only obscure

But also useless. ```

5871

```

His heart is crying

To hear

The voice of silence-light.

His soul is crying

To become

God’s Satisfaction-Delight.

```

5872

```

You must realise

That there can be nothing

Whatsoever

Beyond the reach of your aspiration. ```

5873

```

God definitely

Does not want you

To help the unworthy

To please Him. ```

5874

```

A selfish life

Is forced to learn

What a desolate heart is.

```

5875

```

The penalty

For disobedience

Is God’s unavoidable

Withdrawal. ```

5876

```

He who one-pointedly believes

Has already been chosen

To be supremely victorious.

```

5877

```

Between the soul’s illumination

And the heart’s aspiration

Satisfaction shall always reign.

```

5878

```

Are you willing to change?

If so,

God will come to you

Before long

With His Perfection-Eye

And His Satisfaction-Heart. ```

5879

```

If your heart longs for

The purity-sky,

Then God will definitely

Appear before you

With His Divinity’s Vision-Eye.

```

5880

```

To lessen world tension

Each seeker-heart must feed

The peace-starving humanity.

```

5881

```

God’s Satisfaction-Eye

He wanted to find

In his ascetic cave.

Indeed, an impossible task! ```

5882

```

A sincere seeker-heart

Knows perfectly well

That the human vital

Is most deplorable. ```

5883

```

I sincerely feel sorry for him,

For he himself is afraid

Of walking along the track

Of his own mind-forest. ```

5884

```

Alas,

Faith-medicine is not always available

To cure the mind’s

Fatal doubt-disease. ```

5885

```

How to be

A consistent peace-lover?

Just try the spiritual life,

Which has and is God,

The all-nourishing Peace.

```

5886

```

I do not know

Who God is.

I do not want to know

What ignorance is.

I do not need to know

If I am a choice instrument

Of God.

```

5887

```

If you do not want to fail

In your life-examination,

Then curtail your mind’s

Conscious and unconscious

Proud wanderings.

```

5888

```

If you do not limit

Your service-life,

God will not stop

His Manifestation-March

In you.

```

5889

```

Do you not see

That your head is too high

For God’s Compassion-Eye

To crown? ```

5890

```

If you do not use

Your desire-fire-extinguisher,

You will always fail

In life’s fulfilment-races. ```

5891

```

He has sealed

The envelope of the past.

Therefore, in his heart-garden

The eternal love-flower

Is blossoming.

```

5892

```

Why do you have to come

To a spiritual Master?

Because your aspiration-life

Always needs encouragement,

And this is the boon

That you can get

From a spiritual Master.

```

5893

```

Do not take

Spiritual vacations

If you do not want

To be exiled

From ecstasy-kingdom.

```

5894

```

Do you want to please God

Or do you want to please yourself?

If you claim to be a true seeker,

How can you be supremely happy

If the Person who created you

Is not happy? ```

5895

```

Unless you are prepared

To cheerfully accept

God’s Justice-Light,

How can you please God? ```

5896

```

Only a heart of peace

Can enjoy

The supreme Friendship of God.

```

5897

```

Purity’s oneness-life

Is the world’s

Transcendental hope.

```

5898

```

He was faithful

To God’s Compassion-Light.

Therefore

God made his life

Supremely beautiful.

```

5899

```

Two promises of my life’s morning:

Aspiration transcendental

And

Dedication universal. ```

5900

```

O Lord, I do not wish

To keep anything for myself.

My entire being

I am offering at Your Feet.

You gave me

What You wanted to give.

I am giving You

What I now have become. ```
