Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 64

6301

```

To see

A face of love

Is to feel

A heart of peace. ```

6302

```

You know how to converse

With your heart.

Therefore

You and your aspiration-life

Are definitely pleasing

Your Beloved Supreme. ```

6303

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Heart beats

In my throbbing heart.

Therefore, all my questions,

Born and unborn,

Are answered. ```

6304

```

O seeker,

The joy of your desire-life

Is nothing but your sorrow

Masked. ```

6305

```

O my mind,

I pray to my Lord Supreme

To help you know

The sacred secrets

Of my soul.

```

6306

```

My outer awakening

Is my deep dream-existence

In my Lord Supreme.

```

6307

```

The inner heart

Can be made sweet, pure and perfect

Only with one thing:

The inner hunger. ```

6308

```

The more desires you have,

The more helpless a puppet

You become

In the hands of ignorance-prince. ```

6309

```

God does not want you

To remain alone.

He wants you to swim

With your heart’s swift hope-river. ```

6310

```

God will wait for you,

He will,

Although you are a worshipper

Of ignorance-night. ```

6311

```

The inner disaster will strike

Without fail

If you are not already disgusted

With your life’s insecurity-ant. ```

6312

```

If you have a seeker’s heart,

Then at the very mention

Of your Lord Supreme,

Your eyes of indifference

To the outer world of manifestation

Will be transformed into

A heart of sleepless concern.

```

6313

```

One willing breath.

Lo,

The question of centuries

Is answered. ```

6314

```

Centuries have rolled by,

Yet one question haunts him:

Does God know everything

Here on earth and there in Heaven? ```

6315

```

God paints you

With your aspiration-life.

You paint yourself

With your desire-mind. ```

6316

```

If you resign

From your God-appointed task,

Tomorrow’s sorrow

Will knock at your heart’s door

Powerfully today.

```

6317

```

Your God-search

Is accelerating.

Therefore, God Himself

Is celebrating

Your graduation in Heaven.

```

6318

```

God loves His unfinished

Vision-Eye

More than anything else.

```

6319

```

Every day you must shed tears

For this poor earth

If you really care for

God the man. ```

6320

```

God wants to write

Your aspiration-epic.

You just make friends

With your silence-mind. ```

6321

```

Do not allow your heart,

Like your mind,

To be cramped

In life’s insecurity-cage. ```

6322

```

You want to save

The world at large.

Do you not see

That you have already become

Your mind’s perfect and eternal slave?

```

6323

```

I love and I need

Only one word

In God’s Dictionary:

Forgiveness,

Sleepless forgiveness.

```

6324

```

If you give your mind

All the time

Undue respect,

How do you expect your heart

To give you

Its soulful love? ```

6325

```

Silence is not loved

By an ordinary man.

Sound is not loved

By an aspiring man.

But the soundless sound-life

And the soundless silence-life

Are loved

By a God-becoming man. ```

6326

```

Human thoughts

Are mortal dreams,

But human self-giving

Is an immortal Reality. ```

6327

```

Never wait passively

For progress-light,

For that is absolutely

The wrong approach. ```

6328

```

A doubtful mind

And a fearful heart

Are the makers

Of endless miseries. ```

6329

```

Satisfaction within

And satisfaction without

Come from the purity

Of inner aspiration

And from the beauty

Of outer dedication. ```

6330

```

Hesitation

Is an unpardonable intruder

In the seeker’s aspiration-world.

```

6331

```

Today I am celebrating

The complete failure

Of my desire-mind.

```

6332

```

Because you are a fool,

You have all along carried

Unnecessarily

An excessive ignorance-burden. ```

6333

```

Too many souls

Love to procrastinate.

Again, too many souls

Want a quick liberation. ```

6334

```

Why return to your old home,

Why?

A new home is waiting for you —

A home of perfection-light. ```

6335

```

A slumbering life

Will definitely meet

With an inglorious defeat

At the end of its earthly sojourn. ```

6336

```

He got

What he wanted,

Only to lose

His heart’s Inner Pilot. ```

6337

```

You have been knocking

At your mind’s door.

Are you not tired of it?

Can you not ask your soul

To teach you how to knock

At your heart’s door? ```

6338

```

I know you have

An indisputably great mind.

But can you not prove to me

That you also have

An indisputably good heart?

```

6339

```

A sincere seeker knows

That his aspiration-life

Is nothing short of

A lifetime opportunity

To realise God

And to become inseparably one

With God’s Manifestation-Light

On earth. ```

6340

```

Do not be baffled

By man’s ignorance.

Just tell humanity

That God is not finished

With His creation-experience.

```

6341

```

I have started dreaming

Of going back to my spiritual life,

For my present desire-life

Is like a pathless wood. ```

6342

```

An impossible task:

To satisfy God

With your self-styled surrender.

```

6343

```

You are hungry

For the rewards from Heaven,

But you are not willing to be one

With the earth’s hunger-cry. ```

6344

```

Because I am a slave

To my self-glory,

I am suffering from

A very high ignorance-fever. ```

6345

```

Now that you have pleased God

In His own Way,

God has made a special reservation

For you to stay

In His celestial Heaven-Abode.

```

6346

```

I have seen

Time and again,

My God, the Compassion-Lifeguard,

Saving me from drowning

In ignorance-sea.

```

6347

```

My heart-bird and soul-bird

In oneness fly

Towards the perfection-summit

Of Divinity. ```

6348

```

He who claims God as his own,

Very own,

Is going to win

The soulful seeker award

Of Eternity.

```

6349

```

Selfless service

Is man’s visible love for God

In God-manifestation on earth.

```

6350

```

Do not think

That you cannot do it.

Just think that God

Is definitely going to do it

In you, for you.

```

6351

```

If you travel all the time

On the wings of hope,

And not

On the wings of determination,

You are not going to succeed

In the battlefield of life. ```

6352

```

What good

Are all the multiple glories

Of the world

When you have lost

Your soul’s smile?

```

6353

```

God has lent you

His ready Heart.

Can you not lend Him

Your ready ear? ```

6354

```

He has failed

In his search for God,

For he has allowed his mind

To be crushed

By the jaws of jealousy.

```

6355

```

First place yourself

Before God’s Compassion-Eye,

And then place yourself

At God’s Transformation-Feet. ```

6356

```

Follow your inner sun

While walking through

Your mind’s ignorance-night.

```

6357

```

If you can give up

Your earth-bound desire-life,

Then God will grant you

His Heart’s Ecstasy-Empire. ```

6358

```

Why do you not ask God

To drive your life-car?

He will not only drive you

Safely,

But also take you

To your satisfaction-destination

Swiftly.

```

6359

```

Which master do you want?

The doubting mind.

Which master do you need?

The loving heart. ```

6360

```

You have lost the inner race,

Not because you are slow,

But because you have been looking behind

All the time. ```

6361

```

You hide

From God’s Compassion-Light.

Therefore

You are the greatest fool

In God’s entire creation!

```

6362

```

Do you not see

That your ignorance-shadow

Is following you everywhere,

No matter where you go? ```

6363

```

O my heart,

You have lost your inner key.

Therefore

You will not be able to open

Your life’s realisation-door.

```

6364

```

To reach

The pinnacle of perfection,

Every day try to compose

A God-pleasing, soulful song. ```

6365

```

There shall come a time

When your life will definitely escape

From the torture of ignorance-night.

Soulfully wait for God’s choice Hour. ```

6366

```

Doubt, the aspiration-strangler,

Has finally been captured.

Therefore

I shall celebrate my God-victory

Inside my heart-garden.

```

6367

```

You are all mind

And no heart.

Therefore, you are missing

Your soul. ```

6368

```

In my heart’s hour of need

I dived deep

And discovered

The eternal, self-illumining Sun. ```

6369

```

You do not have to decide

Whether you should hide or abide.

Just cry with your heart,

Just smile with your soul.

In your soulful cry and powerful smile

All decisions will be made for you

By God Himself.

```

6370

```

Do not allow insecurity

To kidnap your heart.

Sooner or later

You will definitely be blessed

With God-Vision.

```

6371

```

His is a thankless heart

And his is a thoughtless mind.

What he enjoys

Is the pride

Of his little ego-possessions.

```

6372

```

You are unloved and unremembered

Because

You do not want to participate

In God’s Cosmic Play. ```

6373

```

Your ignorance-era

Will come to an end

Because

Your sun-vast aspiration-life

Has just begun.

```

6374

```

An impurity-thief

Has stolen all your joy.

God’s Compassion invoke

To grant you His own

Universal Vision-Light.

```

6375

```

Who says

God does not hear your prayers?

He does hear your prayers,

Provided they are

Your silence-prayers.

```

6376

```

If you keep your heart-room clean

Every day,

God will force your mind

To sleep for good. ```

6377

```

I do not know

Why I am crying

And for whom I am crying,

But I do know

Why I am smiling

And for whom I am smiling.

I am smiling to see

God’s Compassion-Face.

I am smiling for God’s

Satisfaction-Manifestation on earth. ```

6378

```

You have fallen prey to impurity.

Your moment of colossal satisfaction

Has indisputably passed.

```

6379

```

Because of his life’s

Extraordinary transformation,

He is impervious

To all ignorance-attacks. ```

6380

```

A life of meditation

Can be pleased

Only with one thing:

The ecstasy of the soul. ```

6381

```

My aspiration-heart knows

How to cry for God.

My dedication-life knows

How to smile at man. ```

6382

```

You must never think

That your life and heart

Are unprepared to meet with God.

```

6383

```

Do you want to conquer

Your time-bound mind?

Then grow into

Your soul’s patience-tree. ```

6384

```

Do you want

To deserve God’s Love?

Then serve God the man

In God’s unfinished creation. ```

6385

```

A bitter truth-pill

Has cured

His illness of millennia.

```

6386

```

Alas,

Once to cry for God

Is not enough.

Alas,

One perfect soul on earth

Is not enough.

```

6387

```

Your life

Is God’s responsibility

If you care for

The divinity within you only. ```

6388

```

If you are

An ordinary human being,

Then you will try to hide

From the world.

If you are

A special being,

Then you will try to abide

In God’s Heart

For man’s transformation-life.

```

6389

```

Alas,

Purity has been hiding

For a long time

From the world’s fearful eyes. ```

6390

```

Time will not wait for you.

Do not waste your precious life

In searching for the best road.

Start walking along any road,

For eventually

All roads will lead you

To your goal.

```

6391

```

First become the worshipper,

Then become the lover

And finally become the explorer

Of God’s Vision-World. ```

6392

```

You have begun

Your Eternity’s journey

In Heaven.

Now you must continue it

Here on earth.

```

6393

```

Because of his centuries

Of sleep,

He has forgotten to value

God-realisation. ```

6394

```

Have new inner friends,

Especially your heart’s purity

And your soul’s divinity.

```

6395

```

My heart tells my mind,

“O my searching mind,

Do not be satisfied

With your present achievement.

You want to love the Inner Pilot most,

But that is not enough.

You have to love

The Inner Pilot only.” ```

6396

```

He who is neutral

Cannot be

A promising and fulfilling soul

To God. ```

6397

```

My mind thinks

God is beautiful

Because

My heart loves God.

My heart knows

God is beautiful

Because

My soul loves God. ```

6398

```

There shall come a time

When your mind will be freed

From ignorance-fetters.

And then you will realise

That God is

A colossal Compassion-Heart. ```

6399

```

If you are

A peace-supplier,

Then God will come to you

As a Supreme Lover. ```

6400

```

If you are a seeker

Of silence-light,

Then God will grant you

An eternal dawn

In His universal Heart.
