Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 128
12701
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord,May my gratitude-heart sing and dance
Inside the cathedral of my soul
Every day and every hour!
12702
Perfection is somethingThat I want to achieve,
But something within me is telling me
That perfection is something
That I must receive
From Above.
12703
One,Just one
Earth-desire-drop
Has poisoned
My whole Heaven-aspiration-pool.
12704
You have failed,You are failing
And you will always fail
Because you are not listening
To your heart’s silence-voice.
12705
God Himself wants to beThe Advocate of your aspiration-heart.
Let God, and nobody else,
Perform that task for you.
12706
Your heart’s day-by-day aspirationIs God’s first choice.
And something else of yours He takes
As His first choice:
Your life’s day-by-day dedication.
12707
A day of aspirationIs a peace-blossoming day.
A day of expectation
Is a peace-breaking night.
12708
It is not enoughThat your name is mentioned
On the God-adorers list.
Your name must be mentioned
On the God-lovers
And God-servers list
As well.
12709
God possesses youImmediately
When you give up the desire
To possess Him
And His creation.
12710
My Lord,Now that I am accepting
My defeat and my failure
As part of Your cosmic Vision-Plan,
I am exceedingly happy.
12711
Every dayI pray to my Lord Supreme
To give me the capacity
To build up my heart-temple
And tear down my mind-castle.
12712
Every dayI pray to my Lord Supreme
To teach me that His Will
Is my only perfection-freedom.
12713
The gratitudeOf my meditation-heart
And the Smile
Of my Lord’s Satisfaction-Heart
Will forever and forever
Live together.
12714
When I cheerfully doWhat I can,
My Lord Supreme
Unconditionally does for me
What I cannot.
12715
Every morning before I meditate,My Beloved Supreme blessingfully gives me
His seven-minute
Compassion-Chariot Ride.
Every morning after I meditate,
My Beloved Supreme proudly gives me
His seven-minute
Satisfaction-Chariot Ride.
12716
My Lord Supreme,Are You not tired of
My self-deception-meditations?
“My child,
Are you not tired of
My unconditional Forgiveness-Heart?”
No, my Lord!
“Then, no, My child!”
12717
This morningMy Lord Supreme told me
That my soulful prayers
And my powerful meditations
Can and will give me
Ignorance-free meals.
12718
Only the inner hunger-climberWill reach God’s
Satisfaction-Transcendence-Summit.
12719
Of all the roadsThat lead to God’s Palace,
The gratitude-road is shortest.
12720
Only heart-travellersAre invited
To take the peace-pilgrimage.
12721
Those who loveThe life of discipline
Will definitely be beckoned
By the Wisdom-Light of the Beyond.
12722
Our heart’s silence-loveSpeaks the most
To those whom we love the best.
12723
It finally dawned on meThat I could also try to become
A choice instrument
Of my Lord Supreme.
12724
God asks you to drinkHis Oneness-Delight,
But you are drinking
Gossip-poison instead.
12725
Regularity takes meTo God’s Palace.
Punctuality brings God
To my little home.
12726
O my mind,How long will you remain caught
In the mire of disobedience-night?
12727
We tell the worldThat ignorance has invaded us.
Alas, we do not tell the world
That it is we
Who have invited ignorance.
12728
You want peace.Then why do you live inside
Your mind’s attachment-cave?
12729
If you do not use your meditation-hourSoulfully and sleeplessly,
Then you will be bankrupt
In the world of meditation-light.
12730
Your disappointing enthusiasmWill definitely take you
Into the world of failure and defeat.
12731
My willingness becomes my cheerfulness.My cheerfulness becomes my victory
And the Victory of my Lord Supreme.
12732
My desire-life, you are too old!I do not like you
Any more.
I do not want to live with you
Any more.
12733
I am totally lostBetween my mind’s sadness-night
And my heart’s cheerfulness-sun.
12734
May my heart becomeA precious receptivity.
May my life become
A spacious activity.
12735
When he sincerely praysAnd soulfully meditates on God,
God broadcasts his spiritual life
On God’s TV station.
12736
God right now believesIn my self-giving
And not in my world-illumining.
12737
Today you becomeAn aspiration-runner.
Tomorrow you are bound to become
A realisation-sprinter.
12738
If God decides to stop using me,I shall not mind in the least,
For I know that He always knows
What is best for me.
12739
Alas, nobody in HeavenMissed my illumining soul
When my soul left Heaven for earth.
Alas, alas,
Uninvited my soul came to earth!
Alas, nobody on earth
Missed my loving heart
When my heart left earth for Heaven.
Alas, alas,
Uninvited my heart came to Heaven!
12740
My body,I really don’t know
What my soul sees in you.
My vital,
I really don’t want to know
What my soul thinks of you.
My mind,
I really can’t tell you
What my soul tells others about you.
My heart,
I must tell you in all sincerity
That my soul loves you infinitely more
Than you can ever feel.
12741
It will be an unusualAnd unprecedented
Earth-event-experience
If all the seekers
Form a soulful gratitude-committee.
12742
I always knewThat perfection is the choice
Of the divinely brave
And supremely chosen few.
12743
You cannot enjoy in your outer lifeThe lion-roar
If you do not have in your inner life
The lion-poise.
12744
My heart,You are a God-made lover.
My mind,
You are a self-made prisoner.
12745
An unaspiring heartAnd an uninspiring mind
Are two sad tragedies
Of the soul.
12746
Do not be a fool;Start aspiring!
If you do not aspire,
Your soul will soon start
Living without you.
12747
No fragranceIs more nourishing
Than life’s
Self-sacrifice-fragrance.
12748
The mind needs the forest-calmTo be a choice instrument of God.
The heart needs the mountain-height
To be the perfect voice of God.
12749
Each human lifeIs God’s God-preparation on earth.
Each divine life
Is God’s God-Satisfaction
Both on earth and in Heaven.
12750
Dear humanity, can you not seeThat early in the morning
Reason limits you,
Early in the evening
It blinds you
And in the middle of the night
It strangles you?
12751
God’s greatestBlessing-Gift
Is my life’s
Crying core.
12752
My earth-hostIs my oneness-heart.
My Heaven-guest
Is my fulness-smile.
12753
Start renouncing!Do you know
That you have to renounce
Only one thing?
That thing is your mind’s stupidity.
12754
DeterminationIllumines me.
Aspiration
Fulfils me.
Perfection
Satisfies both God and me.
12755
Dear humanity,I love to be
One of your sufferers.
Dear divinity,
I love to be
One of your self-givers.
12756
My aspiration-heartIs indeed a gift from God.
My dedication-life
Is indeed my gift to God.
12757
A man of sacrificeIs the thunderous applause
Of multiplying centuries.
12758
Because God isHis own Compassion-flooded Justice,
Man will eventually become
A perfect God-man.
12759
In the spiritual life,An eagerness-mind
And a cheerfulness-heart
Are their own immediate rewards.
12760
If you presentYour unwillingness to God,
Then God will remain indifferent
To your mind’s confusion-forest.
12761
Every dayYou must muster courage
To make a firm commitment
To your obedience-life.
12762
You say thatYou have nothing important to do.
But I am telling you,
Try at least to break
Your life’s unworthiness-shackles.
12763
Slowly, steadily and unerringlyMy inner faith has overthrown
My outer doubt-dictator.
12764
Alas,I cannot even remember
The last time God smiled at me.
12765
Destiny’s decisive hourHas arrived.
Man’s inner freedom
Has fully and fruitfully
Come to the fore.
12766
O my heart’s hope-boat,When will you cross
My life’s promise-sea?
12767
Every morning and every eveningGod wants me to pay
My perfection-toll
At His Satisfaction-Bridge.
12768
God has a very special fondnessFor the rising
Aspiration-flame-songs
Of my heart.
12769
My mind’s impossibility-thoughtsMust surrender
To my heart’s confidence-will.
12770
A God-loverMust welcome every day
A newness-flower-dawn.
12771
My prayer is the devotion-escalatorThat takes me to God.
My meditation is the love-elevator
That brings God to me.
12772
Alas,Will there ever be a day
When the human mind
Will not run in worry-circles?
12773
My Lord always, always opensAnd never returns unopened
My ignorance-letters.
12774
NothingCan be beyond the reach
Of a oneness-peace-lover.
12775
The constant unwillingnessOf the mind
Cripples the heart’s
God-vision-plans.
12776
The mind’s simplicityAnd the heart’s sincerity
Are unparalleled partners
To the end.
12777
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord,When will You silence
My war with myself?
When?
12778
Your false aspiration-flamesWill never be able to illumine
Your mind’s teeming doubt-clouds.
12779
I am glad that my expectationsHave been forced to walk
The path of disappointment
By my compassionate Lord Himself,
And not by any human being.
12780
When we keep our eyes open,We see that our jealous minds
Are heavier than the heaviest.
When we keep our hearts closed,
We feel that our insecure lives
Are heavier than the heaviest.
Alas, alas!
12781
Alas, how can I ever beA choice instrument of God
When I allow my mind
To be swamped by greed,
And my heart by ingratitude?
12782
Enthusiasm means striking achievements.Never lose enthusiasm!
Never allow your enthusiasm to depart,
Even when disappointment forces you
To your life’s rock bottom.
12783
No ecstasyCan be deeper
Than my heart’s
Silence-ecstasy.
12784
Faith is always progressive.It does not have to be
Either offensive or defensive.
12785
When I do something undivine,I hope that God
Is not looking at me.
When I do something divine,
I pray to God
Not only to look at me,
But also to applaud me.
12786
Today my Lord Supreme is telling meThat His Compassion
Is absolutely free of charge
And His Justice borders on indulgence.
I am all eagerness
To have them both
In abundant measure.
12787
This morning God asked meIf I could please Him unconditionally
Only for today.
My immediate answer was
A resounding “Yes!”
12788
A global manDevotedly serves the world.
He is afraid of neither
The world’s stark hostility
Nor the world’s abysmal indifference.
12789
A global man is heWho keeps climbing his soul-heights,
Diving his heart-depths
And marching his mind-lengths.
12790
A global man is a pilgrim-soulWho comes into the world
With a very special message-light
From beyond the future.
12791
There is no way to escapeA global man’s
Vastness-oneness-fulness-heart.
12792
If you are a divine global server,Then you have no time
To pay any attention
To the world’s ingratitude-storms.
12793
The global man knowsThat if he ever forgets
His world-progress-dream-promise,
Then he is bound to lose everything.
12794
Give up, give upYour desire-prayers!
Satisfaction-paradise
Will beckon you.
12795
Since you know that you have a heart,Can you not make it into a temple?
Since you know that you have a heart-temple,
Can you not turn it into
A sleepless prayer-life?
12796
Do you want to make tangible progressIn your mind’s longing for peace?
If so, then every day, every hour,
Offer a prayerful thought
To your heart’s all-loving rising sun.
12797
Choose, quickly choose,The heart of endless faith.
Otherwise, your life will be drenched
By doubt-downpour.
12798
When I gave God my opinionAbout ignorance-night,
He said: “My child,
How interesting
Your great observation is!”
12799
Alas,Hurtful thoughts are flocking
To my mind-door,
And powerful death is knocking
At my heart-door!
12800
May my heart’s soulful gratitude-pilgrimAlways walk along
My life’s beautiful surrender-road.
