Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 79

7801

```

One high dream

I have all along dreamt:

God-Satisfaction in me.

```

7802

```

Because I still live

A desire-life,

All my offerings have been returned

By Heaven. ```

7803

```

His surrender-life

Is striding fast,

Very fast,

On the path of progress-delight. ```

7804

```

How can you,

Why should you

Blame the world

When you yourself

Are fully responsible

For your self-made misery? ```

7805

```

With his stupidity-life

He has turned to Eternity

To fulfil his desire-life.

```

7806

```

A seeker’s heart

Sails towards the sea

Of tomorrow’s delight.

```

7807

```

It takes a heroic heart

To say no

To the desire-world.

```

7808

```

What he enjoys most

Are his God-dreams,

Even when he is wide awake.

```

7809

```

Do not try to lead

Man’s mind to Heaven.

You will fail!

Beg Heaven to descend

Into the human.

You will succeed! ```

7810

```

The desire-life

Is always afraid

Of missing or losing something.

```

7811

```

My soul has arrested

My doubting mind

For obstructing my Lord’s

Compassion-Vision-Eye. ```

7812

```

What consoles his stupid mind?

Certainly not illumination,

But hallucination!

```

7813

```

Each high dream

Of man

Is God’s own

Self-transcendence. ```

7814

```

His is a cry

Of his heart’s

Lost world.

```

7815

```

With an eager heart

I am looking

For the full blossoming

Of my aspiration-life. ```

7816

```

The haven of self-giving-light

Is at once beautiful

And powerful.

```

7817

```

Silence calls me.

Therefore, I am on my way

To the perfection-life.

```

7818

```

Alas,

He is blinded

By earth’s

Ignorance-cherished knowledge. ```

7819

```

His days are numbered.

Therefore

He longs to see

God’s Forgiveness-Light

As an undeniable reality.

```

7820

```

You can cherish

The inner “you”.

Who says it is

A most difficult task? ```

7821

```

His mind dies

Today

So that his heart

Can start living

From tomorrow.

```

7822

```

At last

His mind has started enjoying

The departure

Of illusion and delusion. ```

7823

```

Cry within and smile without:

This is the only message

That God gives to human beings.

```

7824

```

A heart of silence-delight

Is a fulfilled Dream

Of God.

```

7825

```

Is God a dream?

So does the human mind think.

Is God a reality?

So does the divine heart feel. ```

7826

```

Why do you want

To give the dying past

An everlasting life?

```

7827

```

In spite of his teeming weaknesses

He feels that God alone

Is his All.

```

7828

```

In Heaven

What God calls His Dream,

On earth

He calls it Truth. ```

7829

```

Your unconditional love

Of God

Is locked inside my heart.

```

7830

```

His longing for perfection

Is itself a sign

From the heart of his life.

```

7831

```

Every smile

Of our birthless and deathless journey

Is greeted by God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Satisfaction-Heart. ```

7832

```

Ambition does not know

That it shows us the way

To an unsatisfied greatness.

```

7833

```

God’s God-Smile

Is a secret hope

That a God-seeker invokes

To vanquish his shameless foes. ```

7834

```

A purity-heart enjoys

The express boat ride

To Divinity’s Shore.

```

7835

```

You must know why

An impure thought

Is locked in your mind.

```

7836

```

Each sacred hope

Is a blessingful gift

From Heaven’s heart.

```

7837

```

Your suspicion-mind

Meets with a sigh

From the heart of creation.

```

7838

```

A self-giving life

Is a special blessing-message

That lives forever on earth.

```

7839

```

Each aspiring heart

Has the perfection-capacity

Of infinite reach.

```

7840

```

My mind likes

Long journeys.

My heart loves

Uncharted shores. ```

7841

```

Your uncertain mind

Is fast asleep without.

Your certain heart

Is fully awake within. ```

7842

```

Unreality’s message

Is what my mind learns.

Reality’s message

Is what my heart learns. ```

7843

```

His God and his soul

Are coming to see

His heart’s universal sunrise.

```

7844

```

All is changed

For the best.

I do not need myself

Any more.

I need only God.

```

7845

```

The unreal mind

Does not know

What the real heart is.

```

7846

```

His divinity-eye

Is the evidence

Of one stupendous Truth.

```

7847

```

The mind’s

Thought-house

Has no protection-roof.

```

7848

```

One solemn promise:

Every day I shall meditate

With my aspiration-heart.

```

7849

```

True,

You have mortal lips,

But that does not prevent you

From immortal utterances. ```

7850

```

You fool,

How long will you remain

In your mind’s tiny,

Private cave? ```

7851

```

I am forcing my mind

To develop a special capacity

To appreciate my heart’s

Silence-life. ```

7852

```

In my desire-life

What I actually need

Is an endless “No!”

```

7853

```

The coast of the mind,

Who wants to reach?

Who is that fool,

Who? ```

7854

```

Every day

Either I vehemently refuse pain

Or I long for a refuge

From pain. ```

7855

```

Every day he enjoys

The enlightening visits

Of unexpected souls

From the invisible worlds. ```

7856

```

Your tempted mind

Is now playing

On your heart’s broken strings.

```

7857

```

Thought

Has its weak body.

Will

Has its strong soul. ```

7858

```

He is well established

On the path

Of self-effacement.

```

7859

```

To economise every moment

Is to consciously make friends

With Eternity’s Infinity.

```

7860

```

Thorns and flowers

Grow together

So that flowers can be

Infinitely more appreciated. ```

7861

```

Only one

Great destruction-foe:

A suspicion-mind.

```

7862

```

The human life itself

Is a strong desire

To be led by the clever mind.

```

7863

```

If you are a chosen child

Of God,

Then you know how to laugh

At reason’s dominion. ```

7864

```

Your fondness for loneliness

Is never appreciated

By God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

```

7865

```

A hopeful life

Knows how to return,

Where to return

And

When to return.

```

7866

```

In spite of your stupidity-life,

I admire your love

For Divinity’s Blessings.

```

7867

```

Each self-giving heart

Is a fulfilling Dream

Of God.

```

7868

```

How can you be wise

If you have not already

Prayed to God to claim you?

```

7869

```

A seer-poet

Daily enjoys the company

Of God’s Vision.

```

7870

```

He is building

An Immortality-Tower

In the heart of human life.

```

7871

```

Inner courage is indispensable

To accept the challenge

Of grey days

In each human life. ```

7872

```

Two age-old questions:

Does God love me?

Do I need God?

```

7873

```

Oneness-delight

Builds its nest

Only for God-dreamers.

```

7874

```

Claim not

Recognition,

But long for

Perfection. ```

7875

```

What do you want to learn

From me?

I can only teach you

How to love God

Unconditionally.

```

7876

```

No more

Am I going to remain

With my mind’s crowding thoughts.

I shall remain

Inside my heart’s flaming will.

```

7877

```

He lives

In his searching mind

To be happy.

He lives

In his crying heart

To be perfect.

```

7878

```

You have all along seen

A struggling mind.

From now on you will see

A daring heart —

Your own.

```

7879

```

Fearless

If you remain within,

Spotless

You can remain without. ```

7880

```

May my heart-garden

Grow beauty’s

Rose-hopes.

```

7881

```

Suspicion, the new God,

Has replaced

Illumination, the old God.

```

7882

```

Earth does not need my heart

To pray for its transformation.

Heaven does not need my life

To sacrifice for its satisfaction. ```

7883

```

Neither resolution

Nor revolution

But soulful evolution

Will transform the world. ```

7884

```

Each desire-man

Is a fallen dream,

Unfulfilled.

```

7885

```

His aspiration-heart,

Dedication-life

And God-satisfaction-mission

Shall remain beyond the pages

Of history.

```

7886

```

The Creator is looking for someone

Who has the willingness,

And not only the capacity,

To appreciate His creation. ```

7887

```

Make always

The right decision,

And carry it

To perfection. ```

7888

```

Lack of poise

Means lack of surrender

To the Will of the Inner Pilot.

```

7889

```

God Himself

Is smiling at you.

Then why do you cry?

For whom

Do you have to cry?

```

7890

```

God does not compel you

To follow His Aspiration-Way.

Never!

He only wants you

To become perfect

In His manifested world. ```

7891

```

Who am I?

In Heaven

I am a God-partner.

On earth

I am a God-worshipper.

```

7892

```

The world is stupid.

It does not need

Your dedication.

You are wise.

You need the world’s

Aspiration. ```

7893

```

If you strongly feel

That you are going to pass

The temptation-examination,

Then you are not mistaken. ```

7894

```

Be a simple life.

Earth needs your help.

Be a pure heart.

Heaven needs your help. ```

7895

```

I simplify my mind

To be an instrument of God.

I purify my heart

To become a child of God. ```

7896

```

You want to succeed.

Therefore, you teach.

I want to proceed.

Therefore, I learn. ```

7897

```

Not what you give,

Not even what you are,

But only what you want to become

Counts in the long run. ```

7898

```

Prove to God

That you are for Him alone.

Then the visions of delight

Shall be within your easy reach. ```

7899

```

Now that he sincerely enjoys

The inner journey,

His life has become

Satisfaction-delight. ```

7900

```

His willingness-heart

Is every day blessed

With bright perfection-hints

From Heaven. ```
