Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 192
19101
If your life isA constant surrender-song
To God,
Then in God’s Eye
You are infinitely greater
Than any crowned king.
19102
God’s HandWill definitely reach down
To help you
If He gets the invitation
From your humility-heart-hut.
19103
God is begging all the seekersTo keep their spiritual priorities
Straight and pure.
19104
When I live in the sweet paradiseOf God-surrender,
I feel at every moment
That I am manifesting God’s God-Light
Here on earth.
19105
It seems to meThat I can survive all attacks
Except one:
Expectation-attack.
19106
When our mind falls intoThe pride-trap,
Frustration is bound
To follow it there.
19107
Each time I dive deep withinI see clearly
A shortage of God-manifestation
In my life.
19108
Behold,My gratitude-heart has enabled me
To soar with God
In His Oneness-Joy-Plane.
19109
I know for sureThat my Lord Beloved Supreme
Is not far away from me.
He is just beyond
My mind’s ego-screen.
19110
Two instruments I practiseEvery morning:
Mind-inspiration-piano
And heart-aspiration-flute.
19111
What is the differenceBetween faith and doubt?
Faith is sleeplessly loyal
To the Inner Pilot.
Doubt is invariably disloyal
To the Inner Pilot.
19112
If we allow our mindTo be doubtful and suspicious,
And our heart to be insecure and impure,
Then one day,
To our wide surprise,
We will see that we have become
Incredibly hospitable to hostile forces.
19113
I shall followMy compassionate Lord Supreme
No matter where.
I shall follow
My inspiration-soul-bird
No matter where.
19114
O my mind,No more will you be able to fool me
With your false silence-peace.
19115
O my mind,When are you going to realise
That you are limited
Only by your unlimited impurity?
O my heart,
When are you going to realise
That you are limited
Only by your unlimited insecurity?
O my life,
When are you going to realise
That you are limited
Only by your unlimited unreadiness?
19116
Each day is a new day.Each new day is a new way
To see the Vision-Eye
And sit at the Compassion-Feet
Of your Lord Supreme.
19117
No, never!Ingratitude-weeds cannot grow
In a prayerful and soulful
Devotion-heart-garden.
19118
May each day inspire meTo become a gratitude-surrender-seeker
And to remain in my Lord’s
Golden Heart-Boat.
19119
Why do I meditate?I meditate precisely because
My meditation proudly carries me
To the shore I seek.
19120
When we becomeThe wildfire of enthusiasm,
Nothing can remain unaccomplished!
19121
Finally my unaspiring mindIs rescued
From endless reluctance-river.
19122
If we have a genuineAspiration-hunger,
God will definitely bless us
With the most delicious feast.
19123
The Infinite within DivinityIs as sure
As the beauty inside a flower.
19124
God is happy only whenThe gratitude-surrender-seekers
Beat His manifestation-drum.
19125
Only those will be successfulIn the spiritual life
Who have the indomitable courage
To face their life-problem-challenges.
19126
My heart’s gratitude-tearsHave finally washed away
My mind’s unwillingness-barriers.
19127
God is so happily and proudlyWelcoming
My success-life and progress-heart.
19128
Doubt-producing mindsWill eventually be bound
To beat a shamelessly speedy retreat.
19129
How can we expectTo make our mind peaceful
And our heart blissful
If we do not keep God
As the centre of our attention
All the time?
19130
Only the negative mindsAre invited to work
In life’s unhappiness-factory.
19131
Can you not seeThat your Inner Pilot
At every moment
Is steering your life-boat
Towards His own Delight-Harbour?
19132
You must never allowYour doubting mind
To strangle
Your blossoming hope-heart.
19133
O my heart,Be a sleeplessly soaring bird
So that no frustration
Can ever dare to cripple you.
19134
You can shorten your spirituality-roadAnd quicken your speed
If you are under the guidance
Of a true, able and spiritually rich Master.
19135
A sleeplessly desiring lifeMust without fail
Include a slow but certain
Spiritual death.
19136
His aspiring heartIs always homesick
For Eternity’s Peace,
Infinity’s Light
And Immortality’s Delight.
19137
At last my fractured trustIn mankind
Has been completely cured
By God’s Compassion-flooded Eye.
19138
You do not have to surprise the world.You should only try to surprise yourself,
Especially your mind,
By becoming a chosen instrument of God.
19139
If you are always concernedWith yourself,
Then your heart-door
You will never be able to keep open
For God, the Supreme Guest, to enter.
19140
Abandon not your heart’s helpless cry,For your heart’s helpless cry
Is the magnet that pulls God
Towards your life-breath.
19141
He who treasures youIs your only true friend,
And that Friend is none other than
God Himself.
19142
I call it faith.God calls it
His own evolving Experience
In and through my life.
19143
My unconditional surrender to GodIs the only strength I need
To make myself truly happy
And fulfilled.
19144
O my depression-mind,Can you not see
That every day God is planting
His own Smile-Seeds inside you?
19145
I came not into this worldTo fulfil my ego’s
Admiration-need
But to fulfil my soul’s
God-Satisfaction-Promise.
19146
If you are sleeplessly devotedTo God-manifestation,
Then God will definitely bless your heart
With Heaven-climbing aspiration-flames.
19147
O my shameless mind,How long are you going to remain
In diametric opposition
To the Will of my
Lord Beloved Supreme?
19148
May my life receiveEvery day
God’s blissful Smile
And His blessingful Pride.
19149
May my meditationLose its heart
Inside God’s Silence-Eye.
19150
Beauty divine singsOnly for the illumining soul
And the self-giving heart.
19151
God does not ask meAbout my previous failures.
He only asks me
About my present
Self-giving determination
To reach the Goal.
19152
God is not onlyInside my heart
But also inside
My mind-jungle.
19153
When God saw my heart’sSurrender-door wide open,
He cried and cried
With boundless joy.
19154
Every step I take aheadIs indeed the fulfilment
Of a new promise
Of my heart.
19155
Alas, how stupid we are!We give more importance
To our mind’s sadness
Than to our heart’s gladness.
19156
Surrender-road leads usTo the perfection-destination
Infinitely sooner
Than any other road.
19157
Although impatienceFights against time
Quite often,
It never wins.
19158
There are many soaring birdsIn our heart-sky,
But the faith-bird
Flies higher than the highest.
19159
The silence of the mindIs powerful.
The silence of the heart
Is fruitful.
The silence of the soul
Is Godful.
19160
Do not be a fool!Never shake hands
With the giant desire-demon.
19161
Each self-giving actionIs supremely brighter
Than the Heavenly stars.
19162
The love of the heartAnd the compassion of the soul
Never suffer from fatigue.
19163
The hesitation of the mindIs the unanswered
Question of life.
19164
God never thoughtThat I was so stupid!
I never thought
That God was so forgiving.
19165
Each impure thoughtTakes us farther away
From our aspiring heart-land.
19166
At every momentWe have to decide
Whether we want
The division-desiring mind
Or the union-aspiring heart.
19167
Every desire-dreamEventually ends
In frustration-reality.
19168
I do not need my mind’sPower-voice.
I need only my heart’s
Silence-choice.
19169
When your aspiring heartAsks you not to mix
With your desire-mind,
Do not turn a deaf ear!
19170
God asks me to beThe best friend of my silence-heart
And to be always careful
Of my sound-mind.
19171
I do not calculate anythingIn advance,
For that is the task
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.
I just pray and meditate,
Him to please in His own Way.
19172
God can be anxious to command meOnly if I am eagerly waiting
For His express Command.
19173
It seems that God’s CompassionAnd man’s frustration
Are ruling this unaspiring earth.
19174
Only an aspiring heartWill find the vision-light
To fulfil God
In God’s own Way.
19175
Man is endlessly repeatingHis blunders,
At times, it seems, deliberately.
Yet God has not given up on him.
19176
Perfection-peaks are not inaccessible.What we all need
Is a readiness-mind
And a willingness-heart.
19177
The general decay of our faithIn God
Is not only displeasing
But also disheartening God.
19178
I get satisfaction-joyOnly when I receive from God
His blessingful Appreciation
For what I do for Him
And what I am to Him.
19179
My Lord Supreme,Immediately do open
My willingness-heart
And shut
My unwillingness-mind.
19180
In the presence of my Lord Supreme,No matter what happens
I get an inexpressible inner thrill.
19181
I must and must abandonOnce and for all
My helplessness-thinking
And helplessness-feeling.
19182
When we are in front of ignorance-sea,God wants us to be
Brave swimmers.
When we are in front of a high mountain,
He wants us to be
Brave climbers.
No obstacle in our way must prevent us
From reaching our destined goal.
19183
Those who have taken shelterConsciously and soulfully
In the Benediction-Heart
of the Lord Supreme
Will not fail.
No, not a single one will fail!
19184
The knowledge of the mindComes and goes.
The wisdom of the heart
Not only remains
Permanently
But also increases
Immeasurably.
19185
Do not deny and do not defyThe old ways of tradition,
For tradition often embodies
Both the beauty and the duty
Of God Himself.
19186
How can you makeAny satisfactory progress
If you do not or cannot believe
That your Master always understands you
To the core?
19187
If you cannot banish desireFrom your God-searching mind
And God-pleasing heart,
How can you have
Divinity’s satisfaction-joy?
19188
My Lord Supreme,When I soulfully meditate,
Please bless me with only one boon:
Grant me the ability to immerse myself
In the divine sublimity
Of my God-manifesting soul.
19189
I must shatterMy old doubts and fears
That God-realisation
And God-manifestation
Are not meant for me.
19190
The uncertainty of the changing timesWill certainly be transformed
By the beauty, purity and divinity
Of God’s Eternal Time.
19191
When I am in my deep meditation,I go far beyond all the horizons
Of my mental thoughts,
And it is then that I feel
That I am only for God.
19192
If your heart does not reach outTo the suffering world,
How can you ever dream of pleasing God
In God’s own Way?
19193
When my aspiration climbs upHigh, higher, highest,
I laugh and laugh
At my mind’s ultimate frontiers.
19194
My heart, your future perfectionIs already assured
By God Himself.
What you need is constant expansion
Of your receptivity-delight.
19195
Is there any heartThat does not care for perfection?
Again, is there any life
That dares to be perfect?
19196
Do not find faultWith the self-indulgent ones.
Let them wait
For God’s supremely chosen Hour.
19197
Today my heartHas said good-bye for good
To insecurity,
And my mind, to doubt.
19198
My Lord Supreme, do bless meWith a special blessing:
I wish to remain permanently
An aspiration-heart
And a dedication-life.
19199
O my mind,The doubts that snatch away
Your heart’s happiness-light
Must not be your friends
No, not even fleeting friends.
19200
Surprise after surpriseWill arrive at your life-door
If you make your heart
A constant consecration to God’s Will.
