Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 161
16001
My heart-dreamsHave rainbow-wings.
I see them flying
In the firmament
Of Infinity’s and Eternity’s
Joy-Delight.
16002
I know, I know,That my heart’s dedication-sun
Will never set.
It will only shine
And forever shine.
16003
If you do not discourageYour desire-life,
How will you encourage
Your aspiration-life?
You have chosen aspiration-life
To give you satisfaction.
Therefore, desire-life
Discourage and discontinue
Right from this very moment.
16004
A mind of indifferenceIs a deplorable possession.
Get rid of this indifference-mind!
Just have a heart
Of concern, sympathy and oneness.
16005
Alas!Alas!
When I look at you,
When I speak to you
And when I think of you,
I see that you have
A very severe sincerity-shortage.
16006
You do not have to stay alwaysAt a low point
In your aspiration-life.
Cry like a child,
Smile like a child!
Your aspiration-life
Will again rise
High, higher, highest.
16007
If you are not doing wellIn your spiritual life,
Just think you took a false start.
Then, with a new and fresh
Inspiration,
Take another start.
You are bound to take
The right start.
16008
Your self-styledAspiration and dedication
Will very soon prove
To be a mental hallucination
And nothing else.
16009
If you take your spiritual lifeAs something amusing
And not inspiring,
Then wherever you go
You are only a spiritual tourist,
And the life of a tourist
Cannot have lasting inner poise.
16010
I am so gladThat our human life
Is not the final stage
Of evolution.
It is only another
Stepping-stone.
16011
When you liveIn your mind and vital-apartments,
You are bound to see
That your landlords
Are infinitely worse
Than tyrannical.
16012
If you deviateFrom the beautiful, powerful
And fruitful dictates of your soul,
Your life not only will prove
A failure
But also will embody
An extremely sad experience.
16013
When you are in the heart-home,There is only an entrance
And no exit.
Not even an emergency exit
Is necessary.
16014
God’s CompassionEvery morning reads man’s heart
And either pitifully cries
Or powerfully smiles.
16015
Never go to a mind-shop.There is nothing there
To please you.
16016
I am preparing myselfEvery day,
Every hour,
Every minute,
To be a member of tomorrow’s
Oneness-perfection-world.
16017
My seeker-friend,God’s Ears are in perfect condition.
Just pray soulfully and devotedly.
God definitely does not need
A hearing aid!
16018
Once you failIn the divinity-school,
Do not claim that your life is over.
No!
You can again enrol in the divinity-school
And receive a perfection-diploma
From the Lord Himself.
16019
Since you want your mindTo remain always
In the curiosity-world,
It will not be possible
For you to go beyond curiosity.
You will suffer
From incurable curiosity.
But real spirituality is far beyond
The domain of curiosity.
It is in the heart’s
Fully sincere awakening
That spirituality breathes.
16020
There are onlyThree special lessons
That you have to study
For your God-realisation:
Love God soulfully,
Devote yourself to God sleeplessly
And surrender to God’s Will
Willingly, cheerfully and breathlessly.
16021
Each failure-experienceMakes us infinitely stronger
Than we can ever imagine.
And each failure-experience
Is meant to give us
Brighter-than-ever realisation —
Powerful, more powerful
And most powerful.
16022
The last message of hopeI am not ready to hear.
I know it will be
A heartbreaking message,
Which will devastate and destroy my life.
16023
When my soul tells meIts progress-story,
I feel that there is someone
On earth
Whom God can trust,
Whom God can love,
Whom God can give the capacity
To be His absolutely choice representative
On earth.
16024
Eternity’s aspiration-flightAnd Infinity’s destination-delight
Each truth-seeker
And each God-lover
Must long for.
16025
Each human beingNeeds to have
Soulful, devoted love
To fulfil God
In God’s own Way.
16026
Each time I sitWith my surrender-heart
At the Feet of my Lord Supreme,
An overwhelming surge of ecstasy
Enters into my subtle being.
16027
O my mind,You too can receive
Satisfaction-Smile
From my Lord Supreme.
Just empty yourself,
And keep no thought-thorns
Inside you.
16028
Man’s speciality:Doubt-jungle-mind.
God’s Speciality:
Compassion-Garden-Heart.
16029
God always asks for helpWith earth-transformation.
Alas, there are very few people
Who are willing and ready to join God
In His Transformation-Game.
But there shall come a time
When God will say:
“My children,
If you do not want to help Me,
I will do it all by Myself.
I can do it,
And I shall do it!”
16030
My heart,You and I must come out
Of unlit ignorance-cave.
If our mind wants to stay,
Let it stay.
But you and I must come out!
16031
When it is a matterOf soulful tears,
There is no difference
Between the heart of earth
And the heart of Heaven.
There is no difference!
16032
For a sincere seekerThere should be no stopover
Between earth’s aspiration-cry
And Heaven’s satisfaction-smile.
16033
If a manDoes not have any hope,
Then he is not alive.
And how can a dead man
Do anything
Either for himself
Or for the world?
16034
When you forget your past,The past that has not
Fulfilled you,
It is indeed
The greatest blessing
That you can have
From Heaven.
16035
You sayThat you have decreased
Your lethargy-life.
I would like you to prove it!
How?
If you show me that you have increased
Your aspiration-life,
Only then will I feel
That you have actually diminished
Your lethargy-life.
16036
My vital,You have studied for a long time
At insecurity-school.
Now stop studying!
My mind,
You have studied for a long time
At insincerity-college.
Now stop studying!
My heart,
It is high time for you
To study at purity-university.
Start studying!
16037
Capture all your doubtsIn the mind, in the vital
And in the physical existence
And bury them
Ruthlessly and happily.
16038
Insecurity and jealousyAre the two fatal maladies
Of the mind.
They sail in the same boat.
Lo, the boat has already capsized!
16039
If our mindDoes not fight with impurity,
If our heart
Does not fight with insecurity,
There can be no permanent victory
In our life of aspiration.
16040
Are you a fool?Why do you feed the desire-beggar
In your life
From morn to eve?
Just feed yourself
With your heart’s
Mounting aspiration-flames.
16041
You will be blessedWith a delight-flooded future
Only if your earthly existence
Becomes your heart’s
Streaming, God-loving tears.
16042
God does not appreciate you.God cannot have any good opinion
Of you.
Do you know why?
Because
You are consciously living in
A fear-drenched present.
16043
He who livesIn the wastelands of lethargy
Is already declared a failure
In the heart of mankind
And in the life of Heaven.
16044
When your heart asks youTo do something,
You must know
That there is no tomorrow.
16045
Be carefulOf your little faith-plant.
Take proper care of it.
It needs your constant attention.
If you do not help
Your tiny faith-plant to grow,
Then your mind’s doubt-enemies
Will very soon uproot it.
Then begins
Your spiritual failure-life.
16046
You are caught,Mercilessly caught,
In your insecurity-compulsion-cage.
But God’s unconditional Compassion
Can and will save you
And take you out of the cage,
For no individual will remain on earth
Unillumined.
This is God’s Decree.
16047
My Lord Supreme,My surrender-heart and I
Have done nothing wrong
To this world.
Yet we have become
Conscious and constant victims
Of the world.
16048
O my mind, be patient.You need not hurry!
Eternity is waiting for you
To change your life.
16049
Be not in a hurry!Your fastest speed
May cause disaster
In your attempt to reach the goal
Speedily.
16050
My Lord comes to meAnd tells me
That I must barter my beggar-life
For His Infinity’s
Concern-Love-Blessings.
16051
I have been on the pinnacle-peakOf success.
Alas!
Happiness was not
To be found there.
Now I am on the solid ground
Of progress,
And I am all delight,
All fulfilment.
16052
If you delay in safeguardingYour sacred purity-heart,
Before long your ruthless mind
Will not only capture
But also destroy
Your purity-heart.
16053
Every dayThe human life likes to enjoy
Procrastination-dance.
Alas!
Satisfaction in the inner world
And satisfaction in the outer world
Have to remain a far cry.
16054
Is your lifeA living tribute to God?
If it is,
Then you can claim God
As your own, very own,
And God will proclaim Himself
Your loving and serving Slave.
16055
If the unworthiness-giant in youIs not destroyed
By your soul’s adamantine faith,
Yours will be a life
Of most painful experience.
16056
The indifference of my mindHas covered my heart.
How hard I am trying
To liberate my heart
From the indifference
Of my mind!
O my Lord, help me!
I am all tears, my Lord,
Save me!
16057
Thought-insects are biting you.Do you know why?
Because you have surrendered yourself
To your restless mind.
Surrender yourself only
To your heart of peace.
Then there will be
No thought-insects to bite you.
16058
There should not be any pauseIn your aspiration-life.
It is the continuous flow
Of your aspiration
That God wants from you.
16059
Your gratitude-heart’s tearsWill increase a thousandfold
If your inner life
And your outer life
Become a song of unconditional surrender
To God.
16060
Each good thought,Each divine thought,
Each illumining thought
Is indeed a hero-warrior
Of the Lord Supreme.
16061
My prayer-heartAnd my sacrifice-life
Consciously and sleeplessly
Support each other.
16062
Complacency is nothing other thanDeviation from truth
And separation from one’s own
Real divinity.
16063
Your heart’s silence-tearsWill definitely unite you
With God
Perfectly and satisfactorily.
16064
I have the same old weaknesses:Fear, doubt, anxiety, worry,
Insecurity and impurity.
But I do not think
They will forever reign supreme.
No!
No!
No!
God has a different note
To play inside my heart.
God has a different story
To tell inside my life.
16065
You may enjoyAn unbroken stream of victories
On earth
By virtue of your success.
But unless your self-giving progress
Takes place,
No victory of yours
Will give you abiding joy.
16066
I am counting the minutesUntil God comes
And blesses my purity-heart’s
Gratitude-garden.
16067
Is there anybodyFor whom God does not use
His all-loving Concern-Umbrella?
God comes to protect us always
With His Concern-Umbrella.
But sometimes we are reluctant to use it.
We want to save ourselves.
We are so deep
In our own stark stupidity.
16068
All your desiresOne by one
Will eventually disintegrate.
Just wait and see!
16069
When there is a fightBetween my heart’s delight
And my vital’s despair,
My soul always takes
My heart’s side,
For my heart is always right.
16070
If you are attacked by doubt,If you are attacked by depression,
If you are attacked by frustration,
Do not think that that is the end.
There is still God’s Concern,
There is still God’s Oneness-Heart.
Invoke them!
They will come
To your immediate rescue.
16071
When the doubt-missilesAttacked his mind ruthlessly,
His mind immediately surrendered.
But now,
God’s unconditional Compassion-Eye
Is operating in and through him
To give his mind a new life.
16072
If we all sailThe same selflessness-heart-boat,
Then this world of ours
Will have a new name:
Perfection-Delight.
16073
The clutter of thoughtsHas diminished
Man’s God-awareness
And God-fulfilment.
16074
Every dayOur desire-list has to become
Short, shorter, shortest.
Only then our aspiration-list
Will become
Long, longer, longest.
With this longest aspiration-list,
We shall arrive at God’s Heart-Door.
16075
When I do not pray,When I do not meditate,
When I do not serve,
I feel without fail
An abysmal helplessness
Inside me.
16076
You call it self-doubt today,But tomorrow,
When you are awakened,
That very thing
You will know was self-hatred,
Which ruined your spiritual
Fulfilment-possibilities.
16077
When we pray,We see that there are other worlds.
When we meditate,
We bring down the sunlit worlds
Into our ordinary life.
16078
God’s Manifestation-MottoIs so simple:
Peace within, peace without,
Peace between two thoughts,
Peace between two individuals,
Peace between Heaven and earth.
16079
It is absolutely unnecessaryTo convince your mind
That you and your heart
Are doing the right thing.
16080
O, where can I findAn unconditionally surrendered life
To inspire me, lead me and guide me
To my destination?
16081
In the morningWhen I offer my obedience
To my Lord Supreme,
I feel I am a real member
Of His Heart-Family.
In the evening
When I offer my soulful gratitude
To my Lord Supreme,
I feel I am a true member
Of His Inner Circle.
16082
Happiness comes and happiness goes.Why it comes and why it goes
I do not know.
But my Lord Supreme,
This time when You give me happiness,
Do make me the very breath of happiness,
So that happiness cannot leave me!
16083
God’s Compassion is thereFor the entire world.
Every day He blesses us
With His Compassion.
But again, every day
We cast aside His Compassion
And try to live our lives
In our own ignorant way.
16084
Do not stopYour inner education!
The day you stop
Your inner education,
Ignorance-wolf
Will chase you, catch you
And devour you.
16085
EnthusiasmIs of supreme importance.
Before we embark
On our spiritual journey,
While we are on the journey
And at the end of our journey’s close,
Enthusiasm
Is our constant, sleepless need.
16086
You want to swimAgainst temptation-tide
Without God’s Grace?
Impossible!
No physical power, no vital power,
No mental power
Has the capacity
To swim against temptation-tide.
God’s Compassion-Power only
Can make you succeed.
16087
To have an impurity-mindIs already
A severe punishment
From the higher worlds.
16088
Swiftly, safely and cheerfullyAt every moment
I must sail
My hope-dream-promise-boat
Towards the Golden Shore.
16089
If you proclaim yourselfTo be perfect,
Then I have nothing
To learn from you,
For to me perfection is not in declaration;
Perfection is in embodiment
Of the highest divinity.
16090
The opportunity-birdBrings me the message
Of tomorrow’s all-illumining
And all-fulfilling dawn.
16091
Do not breakYour promise to God,
For God, too, has a Heart
Like you,
And it badly, severely hurts
His Heart.
16092
O my mind-kingdom,Why are you so foolish?
Why have you allowed yourself
For such a long time
To be ruled by doubt-monarch?
Can you not see
That doubt-monarch
Is torturing you, destroying you?
16093
A purity-surcharged heartIs the beginning
Of a safe and fulfilling
Heavenward journey.
16094
The mind’s mantra is:“I can speak on God-subject
Twenty-four hours a day.”
The heart’s mantra is:
“My Lord,
Speak and speak!
Do speak to me
Twenty-four hours a day.
I will just listen,
Seated at Your Feet.”
16095
If you allow your impurity-mindTo trespass on your purity-heart,
You are making
A most deplorable mistake
In your life’s aspiration-journey.
16096
The unwritten messages of my heartAre so sweet, so beautiful,
So soulful and so illumining.
The unwritten messages of my heart:
Never abandon aspiration-cries.
Never abandon aspiration-hopes.
Never abandon aspiration-promises.
16097
Unlike human beings,God does not believe in examining
My heart’s sincerity.
16098
To throw oneself soulfullyInto others’ earth-elevating activities
Is a very difficult task.
Again,
If we do not do it,
This world of ours
Will remain imperfect forever.
16099
The greedy mind thinksThat life without success is useless.
The hungry heart feels
That life without progress is deplorable.
16100
Every dayA fresh garland of devotion-flowers
He places at the Feet
Of his Lord Beloved Supreme.
