Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 191
19001
Alas, a world-wide shortageOf humility and purity
Is considerably delaying the world’s
God-satisfaction-progress.
19002
There is no real joyIn self-promotion.
Real joy abides
In God-manifestation
And God-satisfaction.
19003
You must discardYour dark and thickening doubts
And replace them
With fresh and fragrant faith.
19004
At every momentTry to make your life
A cheerful, soulful and prayerful
Service-song
To please God in God’s own Way.
19005
Only the upward-climbingThought-flames
Can illumine and liberate
The mind.
19006
Because your faithIs so fleeting,
Your life’s inner progress
Will remain a far cry.
19007
The path of God-obedienceIs the only path
That I sleeplessly
And breathlessly need.
19008
May my thought-world embodyMy soul’s divinity-flooded
Sweetness-paradise.
19009
Mine is not the lifeOf God-disappointment-tears.
Mine is the heart
Of God-fulfilment-smiles.
19010
When I become a prayerful serverOf God’s Dream,
God becomes a full supporter
Of my reality.
19011
What am I doing?I am exploring
My aspiration,
My surrender
And my gratitude-selves
At the Feet of my Lord Beloved Supreme.
19012
I am no longer in my mind’sDoubt-bondage-prison.
I am now in my heart’s
Faith-freedom-kingdom.
19013
The power of our soul’sImmortality’s silence
Can and will
Transform this world.
19014
Each life reminds usOf yet to be fulfilled
God-promises.
19015
When you pray,Consciously try to smile
In the fragrance-life
Of your soul.
19016
I want my heart’s aspiration-roomAnd my life’s dedication-room
Not to remain unfurnished.
19017
God is proud of meOnly when He is able
To blessingfully stroke
My humility-head.
19018
My Lord Supreme,I am beginning
An altogether new day today,
With the art of prayerful listening.
19019
When your life bristles with problems,Try to feel that
The God of the Beyond
Can enter into your sincere prayers.
19020
My Lord’s ForgivenessHas always been extremely kind to me;
Therefore, I am still alive.
19021
My Lord wants meTo carefully count my good points,
So that I can approach Him
With a prayerful mind
And a cheerful heart.
19022
God does not want usTo decrease our soulful necessities.
He just wants us
To decrease our absurd expectations.
19023
God does not want meTo pay my gratitude-debt to Him.
He wants me only
To bring back my aspiration-heart to Him.
19024
God’s CompassionDoes not boss me around.
It is usually my mind
That becomes my lord,
With my inner consent.
19025
Concentration-powerMust come to the fore
From the heart centre
For the fulfilment
Of high-climbing aspiration.
19026
The more we use our mindTo give us joy,
The sooner we shall forget how to fly
With the Freedom-Wings
Of our Lord Supreme.
19027
At long last I am successfulAt bidding farewell
To my bitter world-resentment-life!
19028
I am happyOnly when I accept
The transcendental Beauty of God’s Way
As my own, very own.
19029
O my stupid mind,You always misinterpret
My Lord’s blessingful Silence-Messages!
19030
My life’s spontaneous willingnessTo please God in His own Way
Has come from
My heart’s sleepless awareness
Of self-expansion in God.
19031
For the mind to graspThe entire truth
In a divine way
Is almost an impossible task.
19032
If we do not takeOur Inner Pilot more seriously,
Then our mind will, without fail,
Prevent our heart from rising
To God-Heights.
19033
If I refuse to undertakeGod-manifestation-responsibility,
Then it will be my loss,
And nobody else’s.
19034
Real mental renunciationWill bring you nothing
But vital frustration.
19035
Our only unfailing resourceIs our heart’s
Sleepless aspiration-cry.
19036
Your mind-anxietiesWill be put to rest
Only when you are ready
To conquer fear
With your heart’s oneness-will
With God.
19037
If you cease to loveGod the Unimaginable,
Your meditations can never be
Deep, illumining and fulfilling.
19038
It is only our soulful prayersThat can help our hope
Rise triumphantly.
19039
As long as you get joyIn your pride’s superiority,
You will be denied
God’s Satisfaction-Smile.
19040
The life of ignoranceIs both infinitely stronger
And infinitely stranger
Than we can ever imagine.
19041
If you tell GodThat it is not within your capacity
To give up your desire-life,
Then God can help you
Only on the strength of
Your inner obedience-life.
19042
Real happinessCan enter into my life
Only when I dare to think
God has not yet given up on me.
19043
If you do not forgetYour negativity-mind-depression,
God cannot come to you
With His Oneness-Heart-Bliss.
19044
I shall not let the momentHave its way.
I want each and every moment
To follow my heart-Lord’s Way.
19045
It is better not to go to warWith either the stupidity-mind
Or the impurity-heart.
It is always advisable to pray
To the compassionate God
For their illumination.
19046
When we are inspiredWith the self-giving will
To live for goodness,
God feels that the hour has come
For Him to smile
His transcendental Smile.
19047
The persistent ignorance-loverHas no place
Either here or there —
Not even in God’s Heart.
19048
WeaknessEither in the mind
Or in the heart
Or in the body
Leads us
To inescapable slavery.
19049
Although we come into the worldTo catch the beauty of the world,
We are quite often caught
By the ugliness of the world.
19050
Nature compassionately takesVery little from us.
But we are always eager to devour
Not only everything from nature,
But also nature itself.
19051
True, at present life cannot beAll sunshine.
But there shall come a time
When our God-invocation-prayers
And God-satisfaction-meditations
Will make our life all sunshine.
19052
There is only one right courseOf action:
A sleepless and desireless
God-surrender-life.
19053
God does not want usTo draw experiences
From the pool of failure.
He wants us
To draw experience-light
From the heart-surrender-fountain.
19054
One single ignorance-thoughtCan enter into our mind
In various forms
Of trials and tribulations.
19055
My Lord, when I think of Your Heart,I want to feel that it is reachable
And not unreachable.
My Lord, when I think of Your Mind,
I want to feel that it is comprehensible
And not incomprehensible.
My Lord, when I think of Your Justice,
I want to feel that it is mutable
And not immutable.
19056
What is spirituality,If not constant self-vigilance
And self-discipline?
19057
I know, I know,Attachment-power
Is mighty.
Detachment-power
Is mightier.
Enlightenment-power
Is by far the mightiest.
19058
I came into the worldNot to escape the miseries of life,
But to challenge and conquer
The ruthless torture of misery.
19059
If you have chosen the wayOf pleasing God in God’s own Way,
Then you must never be attached
To anything that lures you
Or tempts you.
19060
When we enter into desire-lifeAnd want to remain there,
We cannot see the end
Of despair-night.
19061
The unripe individual ego tells meThat I am the possessor.
The ripe universal ego tells me
That God is the only Possessor
And the only Possession.
19062
Twice God smiles:Once when I say
That I can accomplish
Whatever I want to
Without God’s Help,
And once when I say
That God does not care at all
Whether I accomplish
Or do not accomplish
Anything.
19063
I want to be blindedAnd remain blinded
By God’s Compassion-Eye
And Protection-Feet.
19064
Do not provoke a warBetween your mind’s impurity
And your heart’s purity.
Invoke God’s Presence
To do the needful
Inside the two.
19065
Two miraclesGod has chosen to grant us:
He will give us the capacity
To manifest Him fully,
And we shall all become
His supremely choice instruments.
19066
My Lord, protect my mindWhen it is doing something wrong.
My Lord, support my heart
When it is doing something right.
19067
I was astoundedWhen I found out
That I was included
In God’s world-transformation-Plan.
19068
My Lord, do give me the capacityTo live in a never-ending stream
Of self-offering-bliss.
19069
Readiness to please GodIs the minimal qualification we need
Once we enter into
The spiritual life.
19070
My Lord Supreme assures meThat my sweetness-surrender-heart
Will be my fulness-satisfaction-life.
19071
In the pastI saw the speed
Of God’s Compassion-Light.
Now I see the speed
Of God’s Forgiveness-Joy.
19072
I have now come to realiseThat I can pave the God-road
Not with my powerful words
But with my prayerful deeds.
19073
God will allow us to walkAlong the illumination-road
If we carry with us
Nothing but a silence-heart.
19074
Alas, will ever human beingsCome to realise
Why they enjoy so much
Their fragile ego-shelter?
19075
Ignorance cannot stain any soul.But ignorance can definitely
Most deplorably delay
The manifestation of the soul’s vision
On earth.
19076
Whenever we live in the mind,We must realise that we are
The prisoners of the mind.
And whenever we live in the heart,
We must realise that we are living
In the most spacious palace of the heart.
19077
Man is not God’s disastrous mistake.But man himself in the course of time
May be the creator of disastrous mistakes.
19078
Human friendshipIs quite often brittle
Because this friendship is made
From two unlit human minds.
19079
O my heart,I want you to remain always
Untarnished
By selfishness, narrowness
And unwillingness.
19080
It is not a crimeTo be plagued by doubts.
But it is indeed a crime
If we do not pray to God
To illumine our doubting mind.
19081
An unaspiring man is,Without fail,
Bound to live a life
Of endless and deathless contradictions.
19082
Our life is anchoredTo fulfilling hope
Only when our soulful prayers
Touch the Compassion-Feet of God.
19083
Surrender, surrender,Surrender to God’s Will!
Then you will see that
Happiness lies in your path
Here, there and everywhere.
19084
O seeker, if you do not please GodIn God’s own Way,
Destruction-despair
Will frequently visit you.
19085
You do not have to push yourselfTowards God
For all you are worth.
Just place your oneness-heart
At God’s Compassion-Feet.
19086
I want my life’s pendulumTo swing upward and inward,
Not backward and forward.
19087
My Lord, I do hopeThat someday You will release me
From the heavy burden
Of my unruly thoughts.
19088
My heart seeks shelterInside God’s Compassion-Eye
And not in my mind-made excuses.
19089
There was a timeWhen I was only
A supremacy-thirsty world-traveller.
But now I long to be
A God-ecstasy-hungry heart-seeker.
19090
The fortune of my lifeHas at last arrived:
My aspiration is far beyond
Ignorance-snares.
19091
God Himself came downFrom His celestial Throne
To bless me
When He saw that my life had become
A life of unconditional surrender.
19092
The days I do not pray and meditateMy heart makes me feel
That my life is shamelessly
Frittering away
Its precious and auspicious days.
19093
If you do not believe inGod’s Compassion-flooded workings
Inside your life,
Then you are not ready to embark
On your spiritual journey.
19094
The eyes of the mindQuite often deceive us
Far beyond
What our heart can imagine.
19095
The desire-mindIs a name-fame-hunter.
The aspiration-heart
Is a God’s Love-Name-chanter.
19096
A God-manifestation-soulFinds no necessity
For a pleasure-vacation.
19097
Who is a genuine seeker?A genuine seeker is he
Who carries wherever he goes
God’s Love in his smile.
19098
I long for the rainbow-beautyOf the inner world,
And not for the power-capacity
Of the outer world.
19099
God does not turn you away.It is your mind
That turns away from God.
19100
To think of peaceIs not the answer.
To speak of peace
Is not the answer.
Even to dream of peace
Is not the answer.
But to pray for the delight of peace
Is the answer,
The only answer,
To life’s countless problems.
