Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 68

6701

```

Nothing means more to me

Than to become

And remain

A gratitude-life. ```

6702

```

When I see God with me

And feel God in me,

Even the human burden

Becomes an enjoyable gift. ```

6703

```

If you need

God’s Forgiveness-Heart,

Then just say so,

And do not waste

God’s most precious time.

```

6704

```

When it is time to leave this earth,

Say only one thing to yourself:

That Mother Earth

Was exceptionally kind to you. ```

6705

```

A true God-lover

Will not rest

Until he can rest

In the Satisfaction-Heart

Of his Beloved Supreme.

```

6706

```

How long will you remain

A shadow of your true self?

It is high time for you to become

Your true self itself! ```

6707

```

The difference

Between the desire-life

And the aspiration-life

Is this:

The desire-life wants

Countless gifts from God.

The aspiration-life longs

Only for God. ```

6708

```

How can your illumination-heart

Ever waver?

I cannot believe it!

It is simply impossible! ```

6709

```

Every daring heart

Is a fulfilling Message

From the Absolute Supreme.

```

6710

```

What is the difference

Between the mind’s audacity

And the life’s futility?

```

6711

```

Since you have

A soulful and powerful heart,

You can easily leap over

Life’s futility-fence. ```

6712

```

Equanimity never loses.

It always wins

In the battlefield of life.

```

6713

```

God does not have to know

That you care for Him.

Just do the right thing

Every day.

Try to love Him consciously

Every day. ```

6714

```

Man’s faithful life

And God’s fruitful Heart

Are immediate neighbours.

```

6715

```

A perfectly God-realised man

Is undoubtedly

A human being in name only.

```

6716

```

Live inside the doubting mind.

You are bound to see difficulties

Even in golden opportunities.

Live inside the surrendering life.

You are bound to see opportunities

Even in dire difficulties.

```

6717

```

To keep your heart happy

All the time,

Ask your mind to receive

Daily faith-instructions

From your soul.

```

6718

```

God will always

Be ready to fulfil

The longing cries of your heart.

But He will never

Become a servant

To the demands of your vital! ```

6719

```

God’s unconditional Compassion-Eye

Has been the biggest influence

In my life.

```

6720

```

Your mind-knowledge

Has sent you

To your confusion-market

To buy hurtful doubts! ```

6721

```

You may not be able to prevent

Your body

From getting old,

But you can certainly prevent

Your heart

From becoming impure. ```

6722

```

One soulful action

Of your aspiration-heart

Weighs infinitely more

Than your million words. ```

6723

```

The God-seeker

Who is only for God-manifestation

Here on earth

Has no time to think

Of his yesterday’s failure-life.

```

6724

```

It is you

Who are totally responsible

For making your present life

A slave of your past. ```

6725

```

He may not know who God is,

But he is leading a life

That makes God

Supremely proud of him. ```

6726

```

Since self-deception

Has not pleased you,

Can you not try something else?

I mean, self-perfection. ```

6727

```

To smile

Soulfully and unconditionally

Is to carry

The satisfaction-delight of Heaven

Wherever you go.

```

6728

```

My soul has been waiting

Compassionately and sleeplessly

For my heart’s full flowering.

```

6729

```

A God-seeker’s purity-heart

And his oneness-soul

Can never lead an idle life.

```

6730

```

His sleepless faith

In his Beloved Supreme

Defies all fear

From both the inner and the outer world. ```

6731

```

If you have a purity-heart,

Then you will know

Where your secret and sacred

Heart-garden is. ```

6732

```

God has pierced your ego-mind

So that He can give

More love and joy

To your surrender-heart. ```

6733

```

Ask no more questions!

Even God

Does not want anything to do with

Your tireless, questioning mind! ```

6734

```

Do not allow your vital

To be caught in the impurity-jungle

If you want your entire being

To live in your heart’s purity-garden. ```

6735

```

When are you going to recognise

That the fire of your desire-life

Has burnt all your beauty,

Inner and outer? ```

6736

```

A truth-seeker and God-lover

Knows

That the Eternal Now

Is always the best time. ```

6737

```

My Beloved Lord Supreme,

Where are You going?

“I am disappearing

Because you do not want Me.

But I shall come back

For the asking.” ```

6738

```

Today

Make your life hopeful.

Then tomorrow

Your life will automatically

Become fruitful.

```

6739

```

Do you think that God

Will make an exception for you

In everything you do and say

Just because you feel

That God is very close to you?

```

6740

```

If man’s promise is not reliable,

Then try God’s Compassion.

I am sure God’s Compassion

Will always be reliable. ```

6741

```

Do not worry about

What grade God will give you.

Just continue studying

At God’s School. ```

6742

```

Right from the very beginning

His desire-life has not been able

To come out of

Life’s bottomless abyss. ```

6743

```

Do not examine

The possibilities in life.

Just accept them,

Better them

And, finally,

Satisfy the divine in you. ```

6744

```

How can the world forget you

Since you have shown the world

How to touch God’s Feet

And how to clasp God’s Eye? ```

6745

```

God may not be

Measurable,

But He is always

Loveable. ```

6746

```

If you always deal

With the ideal,

The Real will always

Love you. ```

6747

```

Who told you

That your problems are too heavy?

Just pack them in a small box!

God will come

And take them away from you.

```

6748

```

He who does not expect anything

Either from Heaven or from earth

Is a distinguished member

Of God’s divine Society. ```

6749

```

Can you not see

That your life needs major renovations?

All your best intentions

Are of no avail.

What you need

Is sleepless aspiration. ```

6750

```

Your aspiration-heart knows

All the languages of the world.

It does not need a human interpreter

To speak to God. ```

6751

```

Right from the very beginning

The Compassion-Eye

Of his Beloved Supreme

Has been his protection-bodyguard. ```

6752

```

Your mind’s

Exorbitant greed

Far exceeds

Your life’s needs. ```

6753

```

Once you accept the spiritual life,

If you then do not continue,

Your life will be worse than useless.

```

6754

```

He who offers his life to mankind

Lovingly

Is a powerfully unfolding Dream

Of God. ```

6755

```

An intellectual mind

Is doomed to remain

An unripe fruit

In life’s vast garden. ```

6756

```

The mind will have no peace

Until it has become unparalleled.

The heart will have no peace

Until it has become inseparable

And universal.

```

6757

```

How can a desire-animal

Embark

On life’s divinity-journey?

```

6758

```

If you are a daring soul,

Then every day

You must participate

In life’s concentration-contest. ```

6759

```

Your life’s anxiety-flames

Will eventually become

Frustration-ashes.

```

6760

```

To awaken

The seeker’s sleeping silence

The spiritual Master

Unconditionally knocks

At the seeker’s heart-door.

```

6761

```

You fool!

Have you not realised

That your gratitude-plant

Has stopped growing completely

In God’s Heart?

```

6762

```

Humility

Opens the heart-door.

Purity

Receives the Absolute Supreme. ```

6763

```

Who can be more miserable

Than a seeker who is a dropout

From God’s Illumination-School?

```

6764

```

He struggled with his conscience

For a long time.

Alas, finally he surrendered it

To temptation-night. ```

6765

```

I simply do not know

How a human being can live on earth

Without having hope-plants

In his heart-garden. ```

6766

```

If your heart’s cry

Is persuasive,

Then God’s pervasive

Compassion-Smile

Shall be all yours.

```

6767

```

You can live without God,

But poor God does not

And cannot

Live without you. ```

6768

```

I get a pain in my heart

When my mind

Speaks ill of God’s Compassion

And ignores God’s Forgiveness. ```

6769

```

He lives

To do only one thing:

To forgive

The unaspiring being in himself

Every day.

```

6770

```

My first impression of God:

He is infinitely more indulgent

Than I thought.

```

6771

```

This choice moment of mine

I shall offer only to him

Who loves God infinitely more

Than I do. ```

6772

```

My thought-world

Prepares me.

My deed-world

Builds me.

My God-world

Immortalises me. ```

6773

```

There is not a single day

When his doubting mind

Does not enjoy

The fear-fabrication-game. ```

6774

```

Now that you have discarded

Your mind-rubbish,

Your life-prosperity will flourish

In God’s Heart-Garden. ```

6775

```

Your heart

Is always on the alert.

It is your mind

That is fast asleep.

Therefore, the forces undivine

Attack your mind at every moment. ```

6776

```

He does not believe

In pleasure-trips.

He only believes

In his heart’s progress-journey. ```

6777

```

Your heart-boat

Is meant for one thing

Very special:

It is supposed to dance

On your life’s gratitude-waves.

```

6778

```

The Compassion-Wind

Of his Beloved Supreme

Sails his life-boat

Smilingly, lovingly

And blessingfully.

```

6779

```

You are telling the whole world

That you are unhappy,

And I am telling the whole world

That you are not suffering

From unhappiness

But from ingratitude. ```

6780

```

If your heart has genuine aspiration,

Then it will definitely know

How to dance

To God’s Life-Transformation-Flute. ```

6781

```

Just because you are getting old,

Don’t think that your vital

Will stop

Staging its unthinkable revolts

Against divinity.

```

6782

```

Man does not know

And does not want to know

That it is he who is responsible

For his self-created separation

From God.

```

6783

```

Do not talk about impurity.

It will blacken

Not only your face

But also your pure heart. ```

6784

```

If you can make your heart

Once more

Purity’s gold,

Then easily you will be able to dream

Once more

God-dreams. ```

6785

```

The sole duty of a Master

Is to transfer his spiritual children

From the purity of the known

To the beauty of the Unknowable. ```

6786

```

If you are dealing

With God the Compassion,

Then even His Justice-Punishment-Light

Cannot be too severe. ```

6787

```

If you do not pray and meditate

Regularly,

Soon you will be stranded

In your unfulfilled desire-desert. ```

6788

```

If you cherish doubt

In your mind,

Peace will have no reason

To stay in your heart. ```

6789

```

You wanted to give

Your life-breath to God

For training.

Lo, God has accepted it

In a twinkling.

```

6790

```

Nobody has been granted

A gold medal

In both self-deception

And God-Perfection-sports. ```

6791

```

Ignorance-snake will bite you

Because you are not challenging

Your past desire-life.

```

6792

```

God the Compassion-Heart

Is a stranger

To a helpless, useless

And homeless human heart. ```

6793

```

The conservative mind

Wants to reach the mountain-height

Eventually.

The liberal heart

Wants to reach the mountain-height

Swiftly.

The radical soul

Wants to reach the mountain-height

Immediately.

```

6794

```

My Beloved Supreme

Every day

Weighs my life

On His Infinity’s Vision-Scale. ```

6795

```

Pour out all your life’s problems.

God’s unconditional Compassion-Eye

Does not know how to ignore them.

```

6796

```

Everything will be tormenting

Since you are ignoring

The God-cries of the divine child

In your heart. ```

6797

```

If you do not survive

Your mind’s ignorance-winter,

How will you see the face

Of your heart’s wisdom-spring? ```

6798

```

Your heart’s purity-music

Not only elevates

My unaspiring mind

But also tames

My unruly vital.

```

6799

```

I have heard many strange stories

About Heaven.

I can’t believe them.

I see many pathetic realities

On earth.

I can’t deny them.

```

6800

```

At the end of the world

The only question will be

Not who remains,

But will you remain for God,

Only for God?
