Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 138

Return to the table of contents

13701

May my heart
At every moment
Grow into the spreading wings
Of oneness-peace.

13702

The stupid mind just wants
To win a certificate,
Even if it is
A suspicion-certificate.

13703

An unseen Hand guides me
Day and night.
Therefore, I am not forced to wander
In the jungle of useless thoughts.

13704

If you devotedly cultivate
Surrender-soil,
Then God will gladly tell you
All His life-stories.

13705

You cannot catch
The perfection-bird.
You are allowed
Only to fly with it.

13706

What is doubt?
It is something
That can be thrown ruthlessly
Into the sea of nowhere.

13707

Is there anybody
Who has not suffered
The attacks
Of disappointment-squadrons?

13708

Your God-thirsty heart
Will eventually enjoy
The intimacy of God’s Heart-Home
As long as it continues
To cry for God.

13709

The wise heart always wants
To follow the soul,
But the foolish mind
Never wants to!

13710

Inspiration is the beauty
Of climbing hopes
And illumining promises.

13711

You want to know
What I shall leave behind
As my legacy?
I shall leave behind
Only one thing:
A legacy of self-giving gratitude.

13712

He who flies
On the wings of willingness
Will not miss
The fulfilment-train.

13713

My self-transcendence-will
Knows no impossibility-limit.
It embodies
God-manifestation-delight
On earth.

13714

Each and every seeker
Will eventually surrender
To a self-giving
God-fulfilment-life.

13715

You are happy because
You have done the right thing
By soulfully renewing
Your wisdom-library card.

13716

O my heart, be not sad,
Even though most of the time
Your expectation-trains
Do not reach their destination.

13717

Unless you use
Your heart’s soulful faith,
You will not be able to change
Your life’s fearful fate.

13718

To become a champion-soul,
What you need is
A receptivity-heart
And a willingness-mind.

13719

Each unhealthy thought
Is nothing other than
A withering life-flower.

13720

There is a place
For every soulful promise,
And that place is
In the Heart of God’s Smile.

13721

Your victory is certain,
For even your mind
Is now bubbling over
With fearless and sleepless enthusiasm.

13722

O human mind,
When will you stop enjoying
Negativity-frown?

13723

Faith-blossoming faith,
Illumining faith and fulfilling faith —
It is you alone
Who have given me
The beauty of intuition-horizon.

13724

Sometimes it seems to God
That the human race
Has been spiritually paralysed
Right from the beginning of creation.

13725

If you always look ahead of you,
Then failure-darkness
Will not be able to shadow
The beauty of your heart-garden.

13726

Perfection dawns
When my powerful actions
Proclaim my soulful beliefs.

13727

Greatness
The mind quickly wants to earn.
Goodness
The heart slowly wants to earn.
Perfection
The life carefully wants to earn.

13728

My faith-flower-heart
Embodies
My life-transformation-fragrance.

13729

My wholehearted forgiveness
Helps my perfection rapidly grow
In God’s Satisfaction-Light.

13730

If you consciously enjoy
Your tiredness,
You will never be able to wear
Victory’s garland.

13731

If you want greatness,
Then enter into
Earth’s mind-room.
If you want goodness,
Then enter into
Heaven’s heart-home.

13732

Each soulful thought
Brings us into the Presence
Of our Lord Supreme.

13733

Possession is man’s
First desire.
Renunciation may be man’s
Second desire.
But perfection should be man’s
Third and last desire.

13734

Constant self-offering
Is indeed a cure
For man’s sleepless self-indulgence.

13735

There will be no end
To your walking
If you either consciously or unconsciously
Walk along the road of desire.

13736

When my thought becomes action,
My Lord becomes
Immediate Satisfaction.

13737

When man touches
God’s Feet,
He regains his forgotten paradise.

13738

Each time a desire is fulfilled,
It indefinitely delays
Our unconditional surrender
To God’s Will.

13739

He who does not accept
The challenge of responsibility-duty,
Cannot go far
Along life’s fulfilment-road.

13740

If you turn a deaf ear
To your heart’s message-light,
Satisfaction-plant cannot grow
Inside your heart-garden.

13741

Complete faith
In God’s Compassion
Should be a top priority
Of each individual life.

13742

Unless you develop
Obedience-receptivity,
God will not and cannot
Satisfy Himself
In and through you.

13743

When you can dismiss
Each desire of yours,
God’s Manifestation-Eye
Will smile at you.

13744

Use your willingness-wings!
Your life will be able to fly
In the blue sky of Infinity.

13745

Silence, silence, silence,
If you want illumination
In your mind,
If you want realisation
In your heart
And if you want perfection
In your life!

13746

Now that your mind’s
Doubt-nights are gone,
Your heart’s faith-days
Will fast approach you.

13747

You can transform your life
If you avail yourself
Of your inner obedience-opportunity
At every moment.

13748

If you are not totally self-giving
In your spiritual life,
Your mind’s sincerity
Will be under investigation,
Your heart’s purity
Will be under investigation
And even your soul’s divinity
Will be under investigation.

13749

If you have gratitude in your heart
And obedience in your mind,
Then your life-songs
Will be full of soul-stirring melodies.

13750

Your mind will soon be illumined
By your soul’s light
Because your life is now at war
With unwillingness.

13751

Your complacency-life
And God’s expectation
Of your life’s perfection
Can never be seen together.

13752

He who expects constantly
Suffers unimaginably
From the earth’s unwillingness-forces.

13753

Now that you have graduated
From God’s Obedience-School,
Your mind’s success
And your heart’s progress
Will be unlimited.

13754

To be earth-bound
By attachments
Is to be mercilessly enslaved
By insecurity.

13755

Tame, tame and tame
Your mind-monkey
If you want to enjoy
The divinity of silence-light.

13756

Your counterfeit compassion
Will neither illumine
My mind’s search
Nor feed
My heart’s hunger.

13757

There is nothing
That can transcend your heart’s
Ever-transcending radiance.

13758

O purity’s rainbow-sky,
How I wish I could fly
Every day
In your measureless expanse!

13759

The doubt-worlds
Are not worthy
Of a God-seeker’s attention.

13760

Your constant unwillingness-negativity-mind
Is nothing short of your unworthiness
In the Kingdom of Divine Life.

13761

Be constantly self-giving
If you want to be happy.
Then you will not be forced
To experience expectation-hunger.

13762

Confront your self-doubts!
Be brave!
They are bound to be vanquished.

13763

Your purity-heart is blossoming.
Therefore, God is blessing you
With His Satisfaction-Smile.

13764

O purity-beauty,
O purity-divinity,
O purity-immortality,
My sleepless heart longs for you.
Do tell me where you are!

13765

Is there anybody
Who is not forced to learn
Some insecurity-songs
During his entire lifetime?

13766

Do not allow your mind’s
Desire-hunger
To collide with your heart’s
Constantly blossoming peace.

13767

There should always be a distance
Longer than the longest
Between you and doubt.

13768

Be not lost
Between your mind’s unwillingness
And your heart’s enthusiasm.
Choose your heart.
Remain in your heart,
With your heart
And for your heart.

13769

It is not an easy task
To muster the courage
To surrender consciously and soulfully
To God’s Will.

13770

Now that you have passed
The willingness-examination,
Your life’s perfection
Cannot remain a far cry.

13771

I call it my aspiration-life.
God calls it His Eternity’s
Perfection-Satisfaction-Journey.

13772

Self-indulgence is
An insatiable thirst
That can never be quenched.

13773

He who deliberately lives
In ignorance-night
Wants to destroy the beauty
Of freedom-light.

13774

The darkness of ignorance
Cannot devour
The beauty, light and delight
Of the rising sun.

13775

My heart’s purity-flames
Will one day dance with
The twinkling stars of Heaven.
This is the hope-promise
I treasure.

13776

I love sorrow-sweetness
Because it at once
Purifies my heart
And illumines my mind.

13777

O my heart’s hope-river,
May you always remain
Close, visible and available!

13778

Depression-darkness
And hope-enthusiasm
Speak in two
Totally different languages.

13779

A powerful promise-heart
Can freely fly
In Heaven’s vastness
And fulness-sky.

13780

You have two soulful eyes
Of hope.
You have two powerful arms
Of promise.
Therefore, nothing and nobody
Can obstruct your way
To Infinity’s Shore.

13781

My hope may die,
But not my promise.
My promise may die,
But not my Lord’s
Dream-Fulfilment-Reality
In and through me.

13782

My Lord,
You do not have to prove to me
That You love me.
But do give me the capacity
To prove to You
That I love You.

13783

My Lord,
Every day I long to swim
In the river of
Your measureless Compassion-Smiles.

13784

Is there any division-mind
That does not need God?
Is there any oneness-heart
That God does not need?

13785

Doubt-freed,
My mind has at last decided
To sing and play
In freedom’s fragrance-garden.

13786

Every peace-blossoming heart
Is a chosen instrument
Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.

13787

O whispering voice of delight,
Do accept
My heart’s streaming tears.

13788

An unconditionally surrendered
God-seeker
Is bound to arrive quickly
At God’s Promise-Fulfilment-Shore.

13789

Live in the heart’s purity;
You will see paradise everywhere.
Live in the mind’s impurity;
You will see prison everywhere.

13790

Each soulful thought
Is a conscious self-giving service
To the Lord Supreme.

13791

A wisdom-deserted mind
Dares to do everything,
But fails
In each and every attempt.

13792

The human body
Is nothing but
A tiny, fragile earth-cottage.
How can it last indefinitely?

13793

A sincerely aspiring life
Cannot be separated
From undying gratitude
To the Absolute Supreme.

13794

God-manifestation-message-light
You receive from God
Only when you satisfy God
With your Heavenward aspiration.

13795

You and your soul-river
Can and will enter
Into the ocean of light
Only after you have shed
Infinite gratitude-heart-tears.

13796

With my life’s simplicity
I go to God.
With my mind’s sincerity
I speak to God.
With my heart’s purity
I listen to God.

13797

When you give what you have
And what you are to God,
God immediately grants you
His Ecstasy-Boon.

13798

A universal peace
Has always been
Humanity’s most ancient need.

13799

A peace-blossoming heart
Is the beginning of perfection
In human nature.

13800

My Lord,
No matter how hard I try
To turn away from You,
I see Your Compassion-Eye
And Your Protection-Feet everywhere.
