Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 85

8401

```

Once upon a time

Your life was claimed

By God Himself

Because you felt

That there was nobody to claim

But God. ```

8402

```

God treasures

More than anything else

The sweetness

Of a satisfied soul. ```

8403

```

If you are a good man,

Then every day you must offer

Gratitude-gifts

To your supremely compassionate soul. ```

8404

```

Current news from Heaven:

God is going to give another chance

To humanity

For its perfect perfection. ```

8405

```

He was surprised to see

That there are so many professors

Available

At the university of self-deception. ```

8406

```

My heart’s willingness

Constantly widens

God’s Satisfaction-Road.

```

8407

```

He is prepared to fight

For the illumination

Of ignorance-night

Although he is attacked mercilessly

By the heavy clouds

Of ignorance itself. ```

8408

```

From aspiration-river

We enter into perfection-sea.

From perfection-sea

We enter into God’s

Satisfaction-Ocean.

```

8409

```

Your love of God

Is extremely beautiful,

And your love of God

Is extremely powerful.

Do not allow it to mix

With the expectations

Of your stupid mind.

```

8410

```

You are telling me

That you are looking for

An inner shelter.

You fool!

Can you not see

That your soul is always ready

To grant you its sanctuary-shelter?

```

8411

```

When I look at my mind,

I unfortunately see

That darkness has defeated me.

When I look into my heart,

I clearly see

That darkness will before long perish.

```

8412

```

My mind tells me

That there is nothing as valuable

As success-march.

My heart tells me

That there is nothing as beautiful,

Meaningful and fruitful

As progress-walk.

```

8413

```

Not to speak of human beings,

Even God is spellbound

By your heart’s aspiration-songs.

```

8414

```

His doubts are falling

From his mind-tree.

His fears are falling

From his heart-tree.

His imperfections are falling

From his life-tree. ```

8415

```

Open your unrealised heart

To realise God.

Again, seal your unillumined lips

To realise God. ```

8416

```

If you want to quench

Your heart’s inner thirst,

You need your life’s

Dedication-drink every day. ```

8417

```

Do you not see

That your entire being is caught

Mercilessly

In the web of a dark desire-spider? ```

8418

```

Each temptation-thought

Is undoubtedly the beginning

Of a destruction-action.

```

8419

```

Where there is hope,

There is peace.

Where there is peace,

There is God’s Satisfaction-Dance. ```

8420

```

Alas,

No matter what he does,

No matter how he tries to meditate,

He is lost

Between his self-centred mind

And his God-centred heart. ```

8421

```

I may not know

Who God is,

I may not know

Where God is,

But I do know

And my heart does feel

That God wants me to be

A perfect instrument of His. ```

8422

```

I dream of God’s Power-Hand

To make me great

So that I can dominate the world.

God dreams of my satisfaction-heart

To make me a perfect God-lover

So that I can become a perfect world-helper

On earth. ```

8423

```

In the spiritual life

If you don’t illumine your mind

With your heart’s faith-flames,

You will be totally lost

In the maze of self-doubts.

```

8424

```

Every day

If you water your faith-plant

Inside your heart-garden,

Then you will be

Out of destruction’s reach.

```

8425

```

I shall be happy

To be of help to you

If you come to me

With a broken mind

And not a broken heart.

```

8426

```

His heart of purity

Came from nowhere,

But now it belongs

To all-where. ```

8427

```

My vital,

You have done absolutely

The right thing

By breaking an appointment

With temptation.

```

8428

```

True,

Ignorance-downpour has drenched you.

But behold,

Wisdom-sun is beckoning you! ```

8429

```

Unbelievable,

Although it is true:

He allows himself

To be engulfed

In a vast sea of complaints.

```

8430

```

He is expert

In sailing his life-boat

On his mind’s confusion-river.

Alas, what is worse,

He enjoys it immensely!

```

8431

```

O my heart,

Reject, reject!

It is high time

For you to reject

Your old insecurity-culprit-friend.

```

8432

```

His Inner Pilot

Is always pleased with him

And proud of him

Because at every moment

He breathes in and out

Only the clear air

Of innocence-light.

```

8433

```

God will definitely satisfy you

One day

Because you are always

Fond of living

Under the canopy

Of hope-delight. ```

8434

```

Alas,

Your mind is nothing

But the wild activity

Of uncomely thoughts.

In vain

I try to help you,

All in vain!

```

8435

```

His desire-cancer

Has progressed so rapidly,

Even his soul

Is alarmed at it. ```

8436

```

Every day

God enjoys reading

Your love-flooded

Heart-letters. ```

8437

```

Tomorrow’s realisation

Shall never come to you.

In vain you are waiting for it.

```

8438

```

Not earth-bound

But Heaven-climbing questions

Should absorb your mind.

```

8439

```

Each ugly thought

Is the builder

Of deathless death-pillar.

```

8440

```

If you long to help the world,

Then help with your sleepless eyes

And undivided heart.

```

8441

```

Someday

The inner soul

Will claim its outer property.

```

8442

```

If you want to live,

Then dream.

If you want to dream,

Then love.

If you want to love,

Then become.

If you want to become,

Then cry with the heart of humanity

And smile with the Eye of God.

```

8443

```

To be animal

Is to sadly fail.

To be human

Is to doubtfully hope.

To be divine

Is to soulfully manifest

God the Dream on earth.

```

8444

```

You do not need any human admirer,

For God Himself is admiring you

Every day, all the time,

For your tireless and selfless efforts. ```

8445

```

My mind has worries,

Teeming worries.

My heart has prayers,

Climbing prayers.

My soul has promises,

God-fulfilling promises. ```

8446

```

When surrender-plants start growing

In your aspiring heart-field,

God will bless you with a new name:

Perfection. ```

8447

```

Do not challenge ignorance-strength

With your mind’s very limited capacity.

You can challenge ignorance-strength

Only with your soul’s unlimited,

All-conquering will-power.

```

8448

```

Not your gratitude-hands

But your gratitude-heart

Can and shall

Reach God’s Feet

Of Satisfaction-Delight.

```

8449

```

He who prays to God

Soulfully

And he who meditates on God

Devotedly —

For him and only for him

His Beloved Supreme

Will always be on duty.

```

8450

```

How long will you be playing

Foolishly and unnecessarily

With your ugly desire-toys?

```

8451

```

All undivine thoughts

Must fade away

Under the perfection-light

Of the heart’s morning sun. ```

8452

```

Choose your way

Among teeming ways.

No matter which way you go,

The destination will be the same. ```

8453

```

Your unwillingness

Has disfigured you,

Including your inner beauty’s

Heart-flower. ```

8454

```

Your God-invoked heart-will

Will stand far above

Your mind’s volcano-will.

```

8455

```

The Immortal

Dances with the hopes,

Frustrations

And sighs

Of mankind.

```

8456

```

An unthinking will

Is responsible

For the untold sufferings

Of this world. ```

8457

```

The Compassion-Depth

Of God’s Heart-Sea

Always remains unfathomable.

```

8458

```

His life’s lethargy-lease

Has expired.

Therefore, his heart and soul

Are extremely happy

And his vital and mind

Are extremely unhappy. ```

8459

```

Alas, in life

Nothing is as transient

As satisfaction-spring.

```

8460

```

Earth’s sound-life

Will accompany him

Until God’s Silence-Light

Replaces it. ```

8461

```

Alas,

Every day I try so hard

To civilise my senses.

Alas,

I am nowhere near

My satisfaction. ```

8462

```

Where does

A man of hesitation live?

He lives

In the house of bitter failure. ```

8463

```

Your pleasure-life

And God’s Indifference-Eye

Are always found together.

```

8464

```

If you want to be

Divinely great and supremely good,

Then you must explore

Your heart’s gratitude-territory. ```

8465

```

I have only one home,

And that is my hope-home.

When I abandon this home

I have nowhere to go.

I am all alone

In misery’s land. ```

8466

```

A realisation-soul

Is a freedom-bird

That flies

In God’s Bliss-dancing Sky. ```

8467

```

You want proclamations from God,

But God can and will give you

Only emancipation.

```

8468

```

God is ready to give you

What He has:

His fruitful Heart.

Are you ready to give God

What you have:

Your doubtful mind?

```

8469

```

No, not because I know,

No, not because I have,

But because I am,

My sweet Lord is

His supreme Satisfaction.

```

8470

```

If you do not want

To accept the world,

God’s own world,

That means

God has already rejected you!

```

8471

```

What I soulfully see

Is my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

What I sleeplessly feel

Is my Lord’s Oneness-Heart.

Therefore, I am on my way

To self-realisation. ```

8472

```

What am I doing?

I am waiting for my aspiration-heart.

What is my aspiration-heart doing?

My aspiration-heart is waiting

For an interview with our Beloved Supreme.

```

8473

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do make me conscious

Of the divine, supreme fact

That every day

You blessingfully keep in touch

With my heart’s aspiration-cry

And my soul’s illumination-smile.

```

8474

```

I forget,

That God is an old man

And that He can easily advise me

In everything I do and say.

I forget,

That I am a little child

And that I can play with Him

Any time I want to. ```

8475

```

God is at once shocked

And embarrassed

When you say that you have

Nothing to do with

The ignorance-night of the world.

```

8476

```

God is His Head

To protect me.

God is His Eye

To illumine me.

God is His Heart

To love me.

God is His Breath

To immortalise me. ```

8477

```

When I pray devotedly,

God teaches me His Perfection-Song.

When I meditate soulfully,

God teaches me His Satisfaction-Dance.

When I surrender unconditionally,

God invites me to drink deep

His Nectar-Delight.

```

8478

```

When my aspiration descends,

I become my expecting mind

And my demanding vital.

When my aspiration ascends,

My Lord becomes my heart’s Dream-Boat

And my life’s Reality-Shore.

```

8479

```

Two Himalayan mistakes

You make almost every day:

One when you say

That you are not meant for

The spiritual path;

One when you think

That you are indispensable.

```

8480

```

If your aspiration

Does not long for perfection,

Then what kind of aspiration

Is it? ```

8481

```

God’s Compassion-Emergency Exit

Has saved your life

Time and again

From impurity-destruction attacks.

Yet you do not have

An iota of gratitude

To offer God.

```

8482

```

Anything that is unlit

Is unwanted.

Our doubting mind tops the list

Of unwanted things

In our life.

```

8483

```

You do not have to slow down

The speed of your spiritual life,

For yours is at once

A God-protected and God-perfected life. ```

8484

```

You do not have to resist,

You do not have to insist,

You just have to exist on earth

And love God’s Compassion-Eye

More and more

So that you can have

An abiding satisfaction-heart.

```

8485

```

Although you are

An inexperienced seeker,

You are going to run fast,

Very fast,

In your spiritual life,

For you are a genuine God-lover. ```

8486

```

Since my heart is of God

I shall succeed.

Since my life is for God

I shall proceed.

Since I am one with God

I shall always lead. ```

8487

```

Every day

God does something very special

For humanity:

He most compassionately listens

To humanity’s heart-radio.

```

8488

```

Every day we take

A number of ego-exercises.

That means every day

We dig our graves. ```

8489

```

If you do not pray to God

Soulfully,

And if you do not meditate on God

Unconditionally,

How can you ever expect

The ultimate defeat of death? ```

8490

```

We never ask God

The right question,

Yet we expect from Him

The right answer.

Is it not absurd?

```

8491

```

We must be extremely careful

Of our shortcomings,

For our shortcomings are long-lived.

Not only that,

But they may remain on earth permanently

Even after we have all left

This earth-planet.

```

8492

```

Today I have chosen

To see God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Satisfaction-Heart

Inside a human being. ```

8493

```

This morning I have destroyed

My expectation-mind.

Lo and behold,

My Beloved Supreme has given me

His own Satisfaction-Heart!

```

8494

```

From the world

Of a tornado-mind

He jumps into the heart

Of tranquillity’s sea. ```

8495

```

God started the Cosmic Game.

Now it is you

Who have to continue it.

```

8496

```

A life of sleepless surrender

Has a free pass

To God’s celestial Abode.

```

8497

```

Just a simple iota of love

Is all that is needed

To please our Beloved Supreme

Every day, every hour, every second,

And for this

No prerequisite is needed. ```

8498

```

O my mind,

You are praying reluctantly.

Therefore, for you

There is no salvation.

O my heart,

You are praying hesitantly.

Therefore, for you

There is no liberation.

O my life,

You are praying fearfully.

Therefore, for you

There is no realisation. ```

8499

```

Since you are not

Spiritually rich enough

To take a non-stop aspiration-flight,

How can you expect to see

God’s immediate Satisfaction-Face?

```

8500

```

May your earth-life become

Immortality’s

Goodness-Perfection.

May your Heaven-life become

Divinity’s

Transcendence-Satisfaction.
