Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 91

9001

```

Even before I knew

Who God was,

God started painting my life

With His Compassion-Forgiveness-Colours. ```

9002

```

On earth God’s favourite Game

Is human transformation.

In Heaven God’s favourite Game

Is divine Satisfaction. ```

9003

```

You have always been

A victim of circumstance.

Can you not try once

To become a victor?

Listen to your soul’s advice.

You are bound to succeed! ```

9004

```

The human in him

Has written his life-book.

The divine in him

Has started correcting and perfecting it

Before the animal in him

Destroys it. ```

9005

```

Before tomorrow’s dawn

I shall discontinue

My long-standing friendship

With ignorance-night. ```

9006

```

Either aspire

For Heaven’s dream

Or, who knows,

At any moment

You will be frightened

By earth’s nightmare. ```

9007

```

The inner world of aspiration

Does not need

Your guilt-ridden mind.

The outer world of dedication

Does not need

Your bed-ridden vital.

```

9008

```

When hopes are dead,

Human life becomes

A haunted phantom-house.

```

9009

```

One thing is definite:

There shall come a time

When my outer finite life

Will grow into the Infinite

Within my heart.

```

9010

```

Alas,

He does not know where he lives.

He lives

In his confusion-decorated

Mind-room.

```

9011

```

His insincerity

Coupled with stupidity

Ruined his life

Long before he became aware

Of it.

```

9012

```

If you allow your mind

To be eaten up by envy,

How can you expect your heart

To swim in the sea of ecstasy? ```

9013

```

Tear off

As soon as possible

The calendar of your life’s

Deplorable mistakes. ```

9014

```

Do you not realise

That your heart is nothing

But lip-deep sincerity?

```

9015

```

Now that he lives

Inside his soul,

He enjoys the expanding shore

Of Infinity. ```

9016

```

There is no such thing

As drinking too much

Of God’s Nectar-Delight.

```

9017

```

Give to God what you have:

Your mind’s slow train to hell.

God will give you what He has:

His Heart’s fast Boat to Heaven. ```

9018

```

Death can never bring you

Any relief.

It is your willingness

To abide by God’s Will

That can give you relief

From earthly pangs. ```

9019

```

Allow not ambition-appetite

To grow

If you want to enjoy

Satisfaction-feast. ```

9020

```

Unless you aspire

Devotedly and soulfully,

There is every possibility

That your life will be buried

In the cave of doubt.

```

9021

```

What you need

Is an extra dimension of courage

To bravely pass through

The corridors of your mind’s darkness. ```

9022

```

Every day

Pray to the Lord Supreme

To bring to the fore

Your inner sun.

It will silence

Your mind’s confusion-candle. ```

9023

```

I pray every day

For two things:

An illumination-thirsty mind

And a liberation-hungry heart. ```

9024

```

He has an exceptional mind.

His mind is completely immune

To doubt-disease.

```

9025

```

Keep your heart’s purity

And your mind’s simplicity

At the head of your life-parade.

```

9026

```

A blossoming faith

Should always play the role

Of your life’s

Inner traffic controller. ```

9027

```

Slowly and steadily

But unmistakably

Your happiness can blot out

Your life’s age-old depression. ```

9028

```

If your mind is enjoying

The looming shadow of distrust,

The world is not going to be the loser

In any way. ```

9029

```

What my mind needs

Is a fresh breeze

Of sweet hope

To succeed once more

Gloriously

With my life. ```

9030

```

God will definitely

Come to you.

Keep brimming with

Soulful anticipation. ```

9031

```

Only on your heart-line

Can you directly dial God

And always get an immediate response.

```

9032

```

Every day you should try

To set a personal record

In your unconditional self-giving.

```

9033

```

He lifts cheerfully

And sleeplessly

All his responsibility-weights.

Therefore, God has made him

His Heart’s satisfaction-partner.

```

9034

```

Your mind can never get

Anything beautiful and fruitful

By complaining or by explaining.

```

9035

```

You must never be afraid

Of height.

You must never be afraid

Of depth.

Love the beauty of height.

Love the purity of depth.

Yours will be the success unparalleled.

```

9036

```

An aspiration-heart carries

God’s universal Hope

And transcendental Promise.

```

9037

```

There are millions

Of useless actions,

But there cannot be millions

Of totally useless human beings. ```

9038

```

Alas,

Not only his body

But also his mind

Is overcome

By lethargy-destruction.

```

9039

```

When will you stop being addicted

To your self-doubt-drink,

So that God can grant you

His Heart’s Nectar-Drink? ```

9040

```

Can you not see

That your unwillingness-river

Is running very fast

And you will soon be found

In the world of fruitless nothingness?

```

9041

```

God’s Compassion exists

In every life-experience of yours,

Whether you believe it or not.

```

9042

```

You are your mind’s

Barren desire-path.

You are your heart’s

Joyless journey.

I do hope that you know it!

```

9043

```

The obedience

Of man’s mind

And the gratitude

Of man’s heart

Are cherished Treasures

Of God. ```

9044

```

Aspiration itself is satisfaction

If it can keep in mind

That man’s God-realisation

Is always for God’s sake. ```

9045

```

Try to see yourself

From now on

The way God has always

Been seeing you:

As His universal Vision-fulfiller.

```

9046

```

Sincerity does not mean

Deliberate strictness

With one’s body, vital,

Mind and heart.

Sincerity means

Man’s spontaneity

In his self-expression.

```

9047

```

God loves

Your heart’s aspiration

Infinitely more than He loves

Your mind’s contribution. ```

9048

```

You want to be

A roaring wisdom-lion.

Alas, the devouring ignorance-tiger

Is right in front of you. ```

9049

```

I may not know

Why I have descended,

But I must know

That God has given me

Enough strength

To ascend once again. ```

9050

```

He came into the world

To be one with the world-sorrow.

He came into the world

To fulfil God’s Promise

In and through him.

```

9051

```

Do not waste

Your heart’s moonlit hours

And your life’s sunlit days.

```

9052

```

I guard you

When you are fast asleep.

You give me your all

When you are wide awake. ```

9053

```

In fear of tomorrow’s sufferings,

You must not give up

Your heart’s longing

For satisfaction-delight. ```

9054

```

Through repeated attempts

He has developed the unusual capacity

To transform the temptation-life

Into illumination-life. ```

9055

```

If you do not know

Where the aspiration-door is,

No harm!

Try to discover at least

The imagination-door.

```

9056

```

All your vital problems

Will vanish

And you will be able to weather

All your inner storms

When you develop sleepless aspiration

And when dedication

Becomes your second nature.

```

9057

```

Nobody can deceive the soul

Because

God’s Omniscience is

The soul’s permanent friend. ```

9058

```

Now that you have become

Your life’s surrender-sunrise,

God is granting you

His Heart’s Immortality-Sky. ```

9059

```

What my mind desperately needs

Is a true haven

From doubt-war.

```

9060

```

Can you not see

That temptation-thief is hiding

Behind your heart-door?

```

9061

```

The divinity of gratitude

Is not richly rewarded

Here on earth, alas!

```

9062

```

If you love only God,

He will love the whole world

For you.

```

9063

```

Ignorance-tiger

Is not going to surrender to you

On its own.

It is you who have to compel the tiger

To surrender to you.

```

9064

```

If your hope-life dwindles,

Then there can be no real God-life

Inside your heart.

```

9065

```

Cleverness can never bring

Perfection-fulness in life.

It will always be deprived of

God’s Satisfaction-Smile. ```

9066

```

Every day God sponsors

My aspiration-race

And I sponsor

God’s Forgiveness-Race. ```

9067

```

May I become my heart’s soulful

Purity-flooded surrender-dawn!

May I become my soul’s powerful

Divinity-manifested perfection-sun! ```

9068

```

On earth you call it

Your God-realisation.

In Heaven God calls it

His Joy-Day. ```

9069

```

What can your life expect

From your lethargy-infested body?

What can your heart expect

From your doubt-poisoned mind? ```

9070

```

Beautiful

Is my moonlit mind.

Fruitful

Is my sunlit heart. ```

9071

```

My Lord, do teach me

In the morning

Your Heart’s Oneness-Song

And in the evening

Your Life’s Perfection-Dance.

```

9072

```

How can you reach the Golden Shore,

Since you have not yet even embarked

On your aspiration-journey?

```

9073

```

Be a faithful dog

To your heart,

The way your heart has become

A faithful dog

To your soul.

```

9074

```

The Abode of God’s Compassion

Is the hospital

For sinners.

The Abode of God’s Delight

Is the lighthouse

For seekers.

```

9075

```

Once you become a genuine God-lover,

You will realise

That nothing is impossible.

No, not even to tame the temptation-tiger

Inside your vital.

```

9076

```

The breath of bondage-life

Will never be able to sing

God-Immortality’s Silence-Song.

```

9077

```

Do not blame anybody

For allowing your vital

To be permanently caught

In a most powerful depression-downpour. ```

9078

```

How can you ever be fulfilled

When you have become

Your mind’s unwilling acceptance

Of God’s God-Delight? ```

9079

```

Every day I try to lock

My Lord’s Face

Inside my aspiration-heart.

Alas,

The absence of intensity

And integrity

Has turned me into a complete failure.

```

9080

```

If you defy the invasion of doubt,

God will grant you the perfection

Of His Eternity’s Life-Breath.

```

9081

```

Do not think that God’s Compassion-Eye

Will ever forsake you

Just because your entire being

Is enmeshed in imperfection-night. ```

9082

```

God’s outer Life

Is a Hope in you.

God’s inner Life

Is a Promise for you. ```

9083

```

Each unaspiring human being

Is consciously pushing me away

From my life’s cherished

Hope-territory. ```

9084

```

Can you not see

That your heart’s aspiration-cry

Is fast asleep?

Can you not see

That your life’s dedication-smile

Is fast waning?

```

9085

```

My heart dreams

Of hope-mountain.

My mind dreams

Of destruction-tiger. ```

9086

```

You cannot think of locking

Any human heart-door

In God’s entire creation

If you have a soulful aspiration-key. ```

9087

```

Although he is notorious

For his insincerity-life,

He is now disconnecting

His evil thought-current.

And all this he is doing

With the help of

God’s unconditional Grace.

```

9088

```

Self-indulgence can no more be

A part of my life.

Unquestionably it can no longer be

My life’s colleague. ```

9089

```

God bestows His Gold Medal

On man’s totally soulful

Surrender-life

And his perfectly beautiful

Gratitude-heart.

```

9090

```

Your soul has blessed your heart

With confidence-boat.

Sail it cheerfully

And reach the Golden Shore. ```

9091

```

Allow not your mind

To sprinkle your desire-jungle.

Beg your heart

To water your aspiration-garden. ```

9092

```

The smile of his self-giving heart

Is God’s favourite item

In His precious Divinity Collection.

```

9093

```

You have so many divine things

To do on earth.

Why are you wasting your precious time

With your mind’s thought-criminals? ```

9094

```

Look up and appreciate

The purity and divinity

Of the moon

And then fly beyond the moon

With your aspiration-cry.

Do not hesitate! ```

9095

```

Your task is

Not only to distinguish

The false spiritual teachers

But also to extinguish

Their false claims.

```

9096

```

When you imagine,

Try to be careful.

Try not to tangle

Imagination’s chain

While you are flying on the wings

Of imagination-bird. ```

9097

```

Do not read

Secret mind-thoughts

But feel

Sacred heart-thoughts. ```

9098

```

A doubting mind

In the spiritual life

Is not only a chronic

But a fatal disease. ```

9099

```

You are longing for God-realisation

Sooner than the soonest.

Are you ready to pay the highest price:

Your immediate and permanent

Unconditional surrender?

```

9100

```

When you become

Your heart’s gratitude

And your life’s surrender,

You will see that you are

Just one step away

From God. ```
