Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 88

8701

```

The two rainbow-wings

Of his life’s dedication

Are for the world to use.

```

8702

```

In the silence of your heart

Your life’s perfection

Cannot remain a far cry.

```

8703

```

O my mind,

When are you going to be ashamed

Of your deathless, savage greed?

```

8704

```

His purity-mind

Is singing and dancing

On the altar of his heart’s stars.

```

8705

```

The creation is the work,

The masterpiece,

Of only one Master-Artist Supreme.

```

8706

```

He is always seen

At one place:

In his Eternity’s

Dream-filled boat. ```

8707

```

Turn the bold desires

Of your vital

Into the timid desires

Of your mind,

And then destroy them!

```

8708

```

Aspire, aspire!

Otherwise,

The whole world’s emptiness-night

Will capture your entire being. ```

8709

```

Man’s audacious mind

And man’s treacherous mind

Are not far away

From man’s God-intoxicated,

Self-giving heart.

```

8710

```

You must renounce

Servitude to

The ignorance-tiger in you.

```

8711

```

Go forward

With your volcanic will-power!

Otherwise,

Yours will be a life

Of huge destruction.

```

8712

```

What is your heart’s choice:

An excitement-man

Or an enlightenment-soul?

```

8713

```

Along with his soul,

His body, vital, mind and heart

Are journeying

Through unknowable Infinity. ```

8714

```

An illumined life

Is a God-cherished treasure

On earth.

```

8715

```

I can see that your inner fire

Is growing and glowing.

I urge you not to allow it

To be extinguished! ```

8716

```

He often wonders:

Does God really exist

In his stony ignorance-life?

```

8717

```

The secret of this world:

It wants to avoid wisdom-light.

The secret of the inner world:

It wants to claim God

As its very own.

```

8718

```

No human being —

No, not even one —

Is doomed to live

Inside the sea of ignorance-night. ```

8719

```

I definitely see

A divine change in you

Now that your mind has become

A perfect stranger to doubts. ```

8720

```

It is quite strange

That your vital enjoys

Remaining unhappy

In a tiny life-corner

Of the Infinite.

```

8721

```

Go to the inner school

Of silence-light

And start mastering

The mind’s outer thoughts. ```

8722

```

If you are waiting

For the Dawn of God,

Then wait not only soulfully

But also unconditionally

To please Him in His own Way.

```

8723

```

Yours is a slow and confused

Self-search.

Therefore, how can you expect

Anything illumining and fulfilling

From your life?

```

8724

```

Nobody has compelled you

Or even begged you

To be fettered

By puny and silly thoughts. ```

8725

```

Your weaknesses

Will always chase you.

Do not run away from them,

But put up a brave fight

And defeat them once and for all!

```

8726

```

Suffering is not

A mere teacher,

But an unforgettable teacher!

```

8727

```

If you learn

The art of thanksgiving,

It will be so easy

For you to learn

The art of life-receiving.

```

8728

```

God wants you

To converse with Him

Only on one condition:

If you are ready to be

His Eternity’s friend.

```

8729

```

When he secretly breathes

God-Breath,

He and God become

Earth’s perfection-cry

And Heaven’s satisfaction-smile.

```

8730

```

Each pure thought

Comes from Heaven

With its Heavenly powerful promise.

```

8731

```

If your life is confined

By common and uninspiring things,

Your Heavenward passage

Will untimely be closed

By death.

```

8732

```

If you are a genuine seeker,

Then you must always get approval

From your heart

Before you do anything. ```

8733

```

You fool!

How can you think

That God’s unconditional

Compassion-Eye

Will remain impassive in your life?

```

8734

```

All doubtful thoughts

Are worse than sudden invasions

From the dark unknown.

```

8735

```

The heart’s satisfaction-train

Runs only

On life’s perfection-track.

```

8736

```

If you want to stop anything

In your life,

Then stop your mind’s suspicion-train

Immediately! ```

8737

```

Set your mind’s

Captive thoughts

Free.

Make your mind’s

Oneness-will

Perfect. ```

8738

```

The mind’s imperfections

Fade

At the heart’s perfection-gate.

```

8739

```

Although my mind is not fully awake,

I shall break asunder

My mind’s prison cell.

```

8740

```

For a God-loving

Cheerful heart

There can be no mask

Of fear. ```

8741

```

My sleepless hunger

Is supremely blessed

By the Compassion-Heart of Time.

```

8742

```

A gratitude-heart

Is man’s most beautiful

And powerful gift to God.

```

8743

```

Today’s problems are killing you.

Why do you want to be totally annihilated

By inviting tomorrow’s problems?

```

8744

```

By cursing your mind’s darkness-night

You cannot conquer it.

If you want to conquer it,

Then disperse it. ```

8745

```

I really do not know why and how

You have become a slave

To your desire-master.

Alas, the time has not yet come

For you to see

God’s Perfection-Eye. ```

8746

```

God is taking care of His world.

If you do not find fault with it,

Then He will grant you the opportunity

To blow your own triumph-trumpet. ```

8747

```

God does not want me

To pitch His celestial Camp

In feeble earth-bound time.

```

8748

```

Although every day

God teaches you how to smile,

Your success

Still remains a far cry.

Alas, alas!

```

8749

```

O Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To love Your Silence-Sound

Infinitely more than I love

Anything else.

```

8750

```

Each God-seeker

Breathlessly reveals

The fountain-life

Of God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

8751

```

God’s Satisfaction-Smile

Can come

Only from your heart’s

Perfection-peace. ```

8752

```

God will welcome your heart-smile,

The dreamer,

And not your vital-laughter,

The stranger. ```

8753

```

The mind-monkey

Quite often climbs up and sits

On the indifference-tree.

```

8754

```

Inside you I see nothing

Except a growing mountain

Of useless frustration.

```

8755

```

All your stupendous plans

Will be foiled

Because you do not want God

To be involved in your plans. ```

8756

```

Unless you make your soul

A prime candidate

For God-manifestation,

You will never have

Perfection-success

And

Progress-satisfaction.

```

8757

```

O my mind, how long

Are you going to allow ignorance

To strike you mercilessly?

```

8758

```

He thinks that he has learnt

A great many God-inspired

And man-loving things

From his failure-life. ```

8759

```

Strangling doubts

Have destroyed

Your life’s silver boat.

```

8760

```

When your mind is for God-denial,

Ask your heart immediately

To illumine your stupid mind.

```

8761

```

You fool!

How can your restless mind-boat sail

In God’s Peace-Delight-Sea?

```

8762

```

Have you done enough for God?

If not,

Sleeplessly and breathlessly follow

Your soul’s peerless guidance. ```

8763

```

You talk so much

About desire-poison.

When are you going to speak

About aspiration-antidote? ```

8764

```

You must know by this time

That there is no difference

Between your mind’s advice

And a dangerous voice. ```

8765

```

Re-educate your mind,

But this time be very careful.

You must not allow your mind

To enter into the dark doubt-room. ```

8766

```

The supreme need for soulfulness

Will eventually be acknowledged

In the fulfilment of fulness.

```

8767

```

If you want to continue to climb

To meet the Infinite,

You must continually purify and divinise

Your finite life. ```

8768

```

The mind locks the life’s door,

And then it completely forgets

Where it has kept the key.

```

8769

```

If you wish me to remember you

Every day,

Then every day learn from me

The lesson of non-expectation. ```

8770

```

If you want to build

Anything in life,

Then build every night

Beauty’s birthless and deathless dreams. ```

8771

```

The human tries to limit

The divine.

The divine tries to inspire

The human

To enjoy the unlimited God-Delight.

```

8772

```

The depth

That responds to the height

And the height

That responds to the depth

Bring down the message

From the Unknowable. ```

8773

```

United lives

Have peace.

Liberated souls

Reveal and distribute peace. ```

8774

```

A devoted oneness-life

Is the seeker’s fulness-perfection

For God.

```

8775

```

Do not discourage God

From building

His Peace-Pavilion

Inside your heart-garden. ```

8776

```

True,

Heaven is God’s private property.

But He tells everyone

That it belongs to all.

Anybody can rightfully claim

To own it. ```

8777

```

My life of aspiration

May not have the capacity

To enter into Infinity,

But it does have the feeling

That one day it will find

Its safe place

In a small corner of Infinity.

```

8778

```

His life’s inner ear

Makes him hear

The fast descent

Of God’s Compassion-Footsteps. ```

8779

```

Faith-happiness

Is a very rare visitor

To the doubting mind.

```

8780

```

When darkness imitates light,

Can you not be more sincere

And more determined

To know the unreal from the real? ```

8781

```

My human mind

Thinks this world was created

By an illusion-maker.

```

8782

```

How can a heartless life ever have

An all-knowing

And earth-guiding

Eye? ```

8783

```

If you keep your dreams unfulfilled

For a long time,

They will be suffocated

Inside the mind-storm-room. ```

8784

```

Now that you have opened

Your heart’s sealed door,

God will proudly invite you

Everywhere

To play with Him.

```

8785

```

His heart is beckoned

From Above

By the divinity of silence-peace.

```

8786

```

If you have

A true aspiration-heart,

Then you will have no problem

With the mystery of the inaccessible. ```

8787

```

A disobedient mind

Is a colossal failure

Of the soul.

```

8788

```

Only an illumined mind

Knows

What a liberated life

Does for God. ```

8789

```

It is not so easy

To accept one’s own sufferings,

But it is quite easy

To accept and tolerate

The sufferings of others.

```

8790

```

Today

We call it frustration.

Tomorrow

That very thing we call

A huge destruction.

```

8791

```

While you are meditating,

Mental complacency

And vital restlessness

Are nothing but

Your immediate destruction.

```

8792

```

For a new beginning

Remain soulful, cheerful and beautiful

Inwardly and outwardly,

And remind yourself each day

Of the supreme necessity

Of your spiritual life,

Your God-life.

```

8793

```

Every day an inner flower

Is blossoming inside my heart.

Every day my heart

Is growing into

A new beauty’s purity-flower.

```

8794

```

His unfortunate discovery:

Aspiration-life and realisation-life

Are real;

Manifestation-life is all false. ```

8795

```

He came to God

To see only a little bit

Of Height and Magnitude.

But God’s Magnanimity

Made him a true member

Of God’s chosen Family. ```

8796

```

By virtue of his heart’s

Expansion-love,

Today he has become

Inseparably one

With God the Supreme Lover.

```

8797

```

Why are you only appreciating

The flowers and fruits of the tree?

Where is your eagerness

To pluck the flowers and fruits

And have them for your own,

Very own? ```

8798

```

Just because

You do not want to have

God’s inner Wealth,

You do not see it,

Even while looking at

God’s all-illumining inner Wealth

Face to face.

```

8799

```

It is your heart’s inner volcano-intensity

That sees and feels

What your Inner Pilot is offering to you

And inspires you

To become inseparably one with Him.

```

8800

```

If you want to see God happy,

Then offer Him first

Your own happiness-heart.
