Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 155

15401

My Lord Supreme,
Your Forgiveness-Eye
Lights my way
To Your Perfection-Satisfaction-School.

15402

God has a very special plan for you.
He wants your heart’s sunshine-smile
To play with His Compassion-Eye
As often as possible.

15403

Division-mind-thoughts
Are the real enemies
Of the peace-blooming world.

15404

Your thought-world
Is the result
Of an action-fulfilled world
On another plane of consciousness.

15405

God has reserved
A special place for you
In Heaven
Because you are a solid member
Of His inner circle on earth.

15406

Do not squander
Your heart’s silence-joy.
Your heart’s silence-joy
Is the only thing
That God likes to keep
As He continues on His
Eternity’s Journey.

15407

The Sunshine-Smile
Of my Lord’s Heart
Feeds my heart’s prayer-cry
Before I start my daily spiritual journey.

15408

These are the aspiration-flames
Of my life:
Oh, where is God?
Oh, will I ever be able
To see Him?

15409

Today I have danced
My final hesitation-heart-dance.
Today I have danced
My final suspicion-mind-dance.
Today I have danced
My final unwillingness-life-dance.

15410

When my Lord claims my heart
As His own,
Out of sheer jealousy
My ego-dominated mind
Disappears.

15411

To make God’s Happiness
A real and unmistakable reality,
The God-seekers and God-lovers
Came into the world.

15412

Insecurity and anxiety-dance
Will not grow inside
The peaceful oneness-heart-garden.

15413

Not God-realisation,
But God-satisfaction,
I sincerely consider every day
As my top priority in life.

15414

The more I can appreciate
The beauty, purity and divinity
Of my earth’s faith-life,
The sooner I shall be able
To enjoy the downfall
Of my doubtful mind.

15415

Nothing can disturb his mind.
But
Nothing can inspire his mind,
Either!

15416

This world of ours
Is full of suffering.
A heart of sympathy
Definitely lessens the pain.

15417

No one told me,
But from my personal experience I know
That God will be happy
If we all give up
Our earth-bound desire-life
And embrace Heaven-free aspiration-life.

15418

My Lord Supreme
Is telling me
That I need only
One more aspiration-morning
Before He blesses me
With realisation-day.

15419

What I call self-giving,
That very thing
My Lord tells me
Is His only way of living.

15420

To have a soulful thought
In the mind
Is a supremely promising start.

15421

Instead of making
Your dedication-team
A challenging team,
Make it into a self-giving team.

15422

Whoever thought
My mind would suffer
Such an abrupt
And deplorable descent
From its casual disobedience
To the inner light?

15423

If you cannot keep your mind
Continually occupied
With good thoughts,
Then God-loving aspiration
Will not be granted to you.

15424

Salutations to you,
O my inspiring mind!
Salutations to you,
O my aspiring heart!
Salutations to you,
O my sacrificing life!
Salutations to you,
O my God-dreaming soul!

15425

To see God’s Vision-Eye
Is to enjoy
Infinity’s freedom-delight.

15426

O my body,
O my vital,
Why are you
So helplessly and hopelessly
In love with my stupidity-mind?

15427

Each time
We have a good thought,
Our mind comes closer
To the Light Divine.

15428

There is Someone
To change your inner life.
There is Someone
To change your outer life.
Just dive deep within
To see His Compassion-Eye
And Forgiveness-Feet.
Indeed, He is
Your Eternity’s Inner Pilot.

15429

He who is unconditionally surrendered
To God’s Will
Is definitely special, very special,
In the Eyes of God.

15430

God says that He does
Many, many things for me,
Which is true.
But He asks me every day
To do only two things for Him:
To see Truth through His Eyes,
And to feel peace through His Heart.

15431

If you are innocent and pure,
God will give you the opportunity
Time and again
To learn the beauty and divinity
Of His universal Reality.

15432

If you want a passport
To Heaven’s freedom-delight,
Then immediately stop dancing and singing
With ignorance-night.

15433

In order to free himself
From the world’s sadness and madness,
His heart longs for only one thing:
God-nearness.

15434

Sincerity in everything
Makes us ready
For our ultimate achievement:
God-realisation on earth.

15435

Each time a new divine thought
Enters into our mind,
We are awakened to a new world
Of peace, light and bliss.

15436

Two solemn promises
I am now making:
I shall transform my mind
Into a soulful prayer.
I shall transform my life
Into a world-illumining meditation.

15437

Alas,
We are always ready
To surrender our very existence
To despondency-night.
When are we going
To surrender our very existence
Only to cheerfulness-light
And fulness-delight?

15438

The mind and the vital
Secretly come
Into my heart-garden
To sow the seed
Of bitter discontent.

15439

O my heart,
Do not remain powerless.
Be more receptive to my soul!

15440

Your fast-blossoming inner power
Will be able to convince
The unaspiring mind
That God’s highest Height
Is not meant for it.

15441

My Lord Supreme,
I have wasted
So many precious years.
What will I do now?
“My child,
Do not waste more time
Thinking of your previous experiences.
Right from this moment
Think only of your prayer-mind,
Aspiration-heart and dedication-life.”

15442

Because it is God’s Will,
We human beings,
In spite of being mortal,
Can explore the universe
Of God’s boundless Compassion-Heart.

15443

Cry sleeplessly
From the depths of your heart.
Smile sleeplessly
From the height of your soul.
These two messages we learn
From the Absolute Lord Supreme.

15444

I have been searching and searching
For Heaven’s inner treasure.
God just tells me
To search for my own inner treasures:
Sincerity-love,
Purity-devotion
And divinity-realisation.

15445

If your life
Does not become
A progress-tree,
You will be denied
Abiding satisfaction-joy.

15446

Only God-loving seekers
Are allowed to swim
At any time
In God’s infinite
Compassion-Delight-Ocean.

15447

O my mind,
You have the desire-cry
To be loved by the whole world.
Do you not have,
Can you not have
Even a short-lived heart-cry
For your Lord Beloved Supreme?

15448

Every moment
God has a special task
To perform:
He filters your dark desires
Through His Illumination-Heart.

15449

Peace,
If it is really divine,
Will definitely circulate
Inside the world-body.

15450

Heaven’s inner treasures are
Its unconditional concern
For mankind
And its unconditional longing
For humanity’s progress.

15451

Self-doubt and failure-fear
Live inside
The mind’s dark, tiny cave.

15452

If you have serious second thoughts
About your need to surrender
Your very existence to God,
Then you are definitely not ready
To accept the spiritual life.

15453

O my Lord,
Your Satisfaction-Sun
I see right before me.
My only prayer to You is this:
Do make me the shadow
Of Your Satisfaction-Sun.

15454

Like anything else meaningful and fruitful,
You do not have to prove
Your God-realisation to others.

15455

God and I look alike
Only when
My entire earthly existence
Becomes an unconditional surrender
To my Lord Supreme.

15456

There is only one fast way
To make progress
And that way is to see
No darkness in the world,
But only to see
Beauty, purity and divinity
In the world,
Of the world,
And for the world.

15457

There is no such thing
As premature God-realisation.
There is no such thing
As premature nature-perfection.

15458

Alas,
Why am I trying
To take shelter
Inside my homeless mind?

15459

A purity-heart
Has the capacity
To sing and to fly
With ecstasy-wings
In the firmament of Infinity.

15460

Eternal freedom
Is an unconditional boon
From the Heaven-Summits.

15461

God does not have to
Challenge ignorance-night
For His own Perfection.
It is for our perfection
That He uses His Compassion
Sleeplessly.

15462

There is only
One thought in God’s Mind:
How He can make His creation
Happy, illumining and fulfilling.

15463

My Lord,
I do not want You
To suffer with me
In my mind’s wild forest.
I want You
To be proud of me
Inside my life’s purity-heart-garden.

15464

Nothing short
Of my perfect perfection
Will ever satisfy God.

15465

God has forgotten to punish me.
But will I remember Him
As His Forgiveness-Heart?

15466

His doubtful mind,
His fearful mind,
His ignorance-loving mind,
Finally has been washed away
By his simple and sweet, crying heart.

15467

When I make
My unconditional surrender
To God’s Will,
My Lord, in His infinite
Pride and Delight, tells me:
“My child,
I shall start following you!”

15468

Do not wait
For something to happen.
Nothing is going to happen for you
Unless you have turned your life
Into a cry of your heart.
Once you have become
Your crying heart,
You will get the smiling God.

15469

O my stupid mind,
You could have changed your life
Before you allowed yourself
To be caught red-handed
In ignorance-night.

15470

My Lord, may I know,
Even for a fleeting second,
Your Divinity-Heart’s
Immortality-Secret?

15471

My mind is not satisfied
With my heart,
No matter what my heart
Does for my mind.
The heart’s oneness-life
The mind cannot appreciate.
The mind wants only to remain
In its division-satisfaction.

15472

For the heart to make peace
With the mind
Takes more than willingness.
It takes self-givingness!

15473

God’s Compassion-Touch
Is not mystical.
It is normal, natural and inevitable.
Alas,
Why are we ignorant of it?

15474

Call God your own!
Then God will teach you
How to call His Eternity’s
Vision-flooded creation
Your own.

15475

First simplify your mind,
Then clarify your mind,
Then purify your mind,
Then electrify your mind,
Then beautify your mind.
That’s all!

15476

In your mind
There are many things.
But in God’s Mind
There is only one thought:
How He can have
Your surrender-heart of oneness.

15477

To cry unconditionally
Is to collect
God’s infinite inner Wealth.
To smile unconditionally
Is to spread
God’s infinite inner Wealth.

15478

Self-giving and pure happiness
Are always found
In God’s vaster-than-the-vastest
Heart.

15479

If you do not worry
About God’s Will,
Then how do you expect God
To be involved in
Your desire-aspiration-necessity-life?

15480

Goodwill, goodwill, goodwill:
This is what each and every thought
Of yours
Must embody!

15481

What am I doing?
I am training my body,
Vital, mind and heart
To study in the sacred school
Of my illumination-soul.

15482

The mind’s well-deserved punishment
God often, out of His infinite Compassion,
Obliterates.

15483

Just cross through
The channel of confusion.
You will see a new dawn
Awaiting your arrival.

15484

Unconsciously
You have chosen
Your trouble-time.
But now consciously
You are longing for
Your freedom-time.

15485

When you get
Your victory-trophy from God,
Be careful!
Your doubting mind
Can snatch it away from you.

15486

God will not allow you
To mask your world-contempt
Forever.
You will soon be exposed!

15487

When I see the world
Through God’s Compassion-Eye,
I see that
The total transformation of the world
Is not a far cry.

15488

Do not allow your aspiration-heart
To skip even one meditation
If you want to see
The rainbow-dawn of your God-realisation
Sooner than the soonest.

15489

From time to time
Along life’s road,
Restlessness-monkeys do come
To torment us.
But we must pay no attention to them.
We must walk fast, very fast,
Along life’s road
To reach our supreme destination:
Nature’s perfection.

15490

God has given your heart faith
So it can play the role of a policeman.
God wants your heart-faith-policeman
To arrest your uncomely thoughts
Immediately.

15491

Life is too short
To enjoy powerful misunderstanding
And nurse animal anger!

15492

Alas,
Finally I have realised
That I am extremely overburdened
With my sleeplessly fault-finding mind.

15493

My willingness-heart,
God is extremely proud of you,
God is extremely fond of you;
You are the choicest instrument
Of my Lord Supreme.

15494

This morning
An amazing discovery dawned
In my aspiration-heart:
This world of unrest
Will before long be flooded
With Infinity’s peace, light and delight.

15495

God wants
Each and every human being
To feel
That His Satisfaction-Eye is for all.

15496

O my heart,
You are allowing your insecurity
To enjoy itself like anything today.
But rest assured,
Tomorrow frustration-wolf
Will, without fail, devour you.

15497

Finally today
I have realised how shocking
Is my faithful obedience-life
To my ugly desire-master.

15498

By striking you hard,
God does not get any pleasure.
But He does expedite
Your self-discovery.

15499

Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Your God-manifestation-train
Is faithfully waiting for you.

15500

My Lord Beloved Supreme,
I do not want to see any more
The face of my aspiration-sunset.
Please, please allow me
To see once more
The heart of my aspiration-sunrise.
