Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 196
19501
I am begging God to give meHis Satisfaction-Smile.
God is begging me to give Him
My aspiration-cry.
19502
Alas, why do I fail GodWhen He expects great things
From my life
And good things
From my heart?
19503
Your spiritual healthWill decline very abruptly
If you do not pay attention
To your heart’s aspiration-discipline
And your life’s dedication-discipline.
19504
First your heart has to becomeA God-listener,
And only then can your life become
A God-lover.
19505
The heart’s willingness-capacityMust go side by side
With the mind’s readiness-capacity
So that the seeker can safely arrive
At the perfection-shore.
19506
The eagerness and willingnessOf the heart
Can easily break all the speed limits
Of the doubting and unaspiring mind.
19507
Why waste another minute?Pray to God to bless you once more
With a hope-heart.
19508
Do not allow your self-doubt-mindTo destroy your heart’s
God-breath-blossoms.
19509
“God for God’s sake only!”This has to be your final thought
Before you place yourself
At God’s Feet.
19510
If you do not leaveYour mind’s thought-jungle behind you,
Then your heart’s aspiration-garden
Will not be visited
By the denizens of the higher worlds.
19511
The stupidity of the mindInvites only one visitor:
The giant ignorance-intruder!
19512
Do not keep your heart-door closedWhen God Himself invites you
To fly with your soul’s luminosity-stars.
19513
The silence of the heartHas and is the capacity
To control the mind’s
Turbulent thought-winds.
19514
Your heart’s faith-medicineWill definitely relieve you
From your mind’s chronic doubt-headache.
19515
The world knows that the human mindIs the inventor of sin.
But when will the world know
That the divine heart is the discoverer
Of all hidden virtues?
19516
May each morning-prayer of my heartPlease God the Creator’s Heart
And God the creation’s eye.
19517
I love myself dearlyOnly when I can bow my head
In humble prayer to my Lord Supreme.
19518
With each prayerful thoughtA God-satisfying chance blossoms
In the depth of our hearts.
19519
I do not want to knowWhen my golden God-day will dawn.
I just want to know,
Will it ever dawn?
19520
No, not even GodCan afford to wait indefinitely
For the transformation
Of my doubt-cherishing mind.
19521
The world will not,Because it does not want to,
Forget
Its failure-sadness-stories.
19522
May an aspiration-mountainBe my heart’s constant companion.
May an inspiration-river
Be my mind’s constant companion.
May a dedication-star
Be my life’s constant companion.
19523
No human mind-produced thoughtCan for long eclipse
The divine beauty
Of the immortal soul.
19524
Compassion must flourish firstIn every heart.
Then only will peace reign supreme
Here on earth.
19525
Every aspiration-breath of mineRaises my life
Towards Heaven’s infinite
Light and Delight.
19526
My heart warned meWhen I was devotedly listening
To my doubting mind.
19527
Alas,My heart has not yet learnt
How to sing the gratitude-song
Without making mistakes.
19528
Our oneness-earth’sPeace-dream
Cannot forever remain
Unfulfilled.
19529
I have decidedOnce and for all
To issue death-sentences
To my doubts.
19530
I have used up all my doubts.I have not saved
Even one single doubt
To use either for this life
Or for my next life.
19531
Do not misuseYour Master’s compassion
If you want joy to be
Your heart’s constant companion.
19532
My oneness-heartFeels responsible
When the world
Does anything wrong.
My division-mind
Does not think it necessary
To be responsible
Even for its own unpardonable blunders.
19533
My Lord,I love You
More than You can possibly imagine.
“True, My child, true.
“My child,
I need you
More than you can possibly imagine.”
Not true, my Lord, not true.
19534
In order to sprintOn the aspiration-track,
What you need most
Is an eagerness-heart-cry.
19535
My meditation is perfectOnly when my restless mind
Surrenders
To my ageless and soundless heart.
19536
My Lord, I cannot love You.What shall I do?
“My child, then love My devotees.”
My Lord, I cannot love Your devotees.
“My child, then love your purity.”
My Lord, I cannot love my purity.
“My child, then love your sincerity.”
My Lord, I cannot love my sincerity.
“My child,
Then love your sincerity-necessity.
You will eventually become
A perfect instrument of Mine
To please Me always in My own Way.”
19537
God’s Forgiveness-BoatSails and sails.
It never fails.
But it reaches
Its fulfilling and fulfilled destination
Only when God’s choice Hour strikes.
19538
If your God-love is unconditional,Then only can you bypass
The lesser gods
And even the lesser God,
To be with the true God.
19539
My mind’s sound-doorI keep open
For all and sundry.
My heart’s silence-door
I keep open
Only for my Lord Beloved Supreme.
19540
A complexity-mindCannot permanently escape
A sorrowful descent.
19541
Each day is a golden opportunityFor God-awareness,
God-receptivity
And God-manifestation.
19542
O my stubborn unwillingness-mind,You will soon be replaced
By my willingness-eagerness-heart.
19543
My soul-peace-birdSoars above
My sunrise-heart-beauty
Only when
I happily and unconditionally surrender
My aspiration-breath
And dedication-life
To my Lord Supreme.
19544
When I arrived atMy aspiration-heart-home,
I discovered to my astonishment
That I had never really left.
19545
My Lord Supreme,Do give me a pilgrim-heart
To offer my aspiration-flames
Far and wide,
Lovingly and self-givingly.
19546
The world’s insanityAdds confusion to my mind.
The world’s beauty
Adds illumination to my heart.
19547
When I am inside the sound of my mind,Nothing is attainable.
When I am inside the silence of my heart,
Everything, everybody and even God
Is easily attainable.
19548
Only ceaselessly self-giving livesCan save, perfect and illumine
This world.
19549
When each and every thought of mineI place at the Feet
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme,
I see myself sailing
With the prayerful, soulful
And fruitful peace-wind
At my back.
19550
When my heart is empty of peace,I am at war
With everything that I accept
And everything that I reject.
19551
This is the dayWhen I must cut off
All my connections
With my ugliness-mind.
19552
O my heart’s sunrise-flowers,I need you to worship my Lord Supreme.
Where are you all?
I cannot brook any further delay.
19553
If you cannot swim in the sea of tears,How can you unburden yourself?
If you cannot unburden yourself,
How will you be able to arrive
Safely and gloriously
At your destined goal?
19554
When my heart-sky is clear and pure,God Himself
Proudly and triumphantly
Roams there.
19555
Nobody can prevent youFrom arriving at the highest height
Of your self-awareness,
Self-offering and self-perfection.
19556
May everything in my lifeBe as it was before:
Once more I shall love God’s Heart
In God’s own Way,
I shall worship God’s Feet
In God’s own Way,
I shall carry God’s Life-Breath
In God’s own Way.
19557
My greatness-mindIs not sufficient unto itself,
But my goodness-heart is.
19558
My mind is a satisfaction-stranger.My heart is a satisfaction-dreamer,
Satisfaction-lover,
Satisfaction-sower,
Satisfaction-grower,
Satisfaction-enjoyer.
19559
YesterdayDoubt-supremacy I enjoyed.
Today
I am enjoying doubt-intimacy.
Tomorrow
I shall enjoy oneness-ecstasy.
19560
O my mind,What you need
Is perfection-preference
And not
World-adulation-indulgence.
19561
The sound-bondageFrightens me.
The silence-freedom
Enlightens me.
19562
O my mind,For God’s sake do tell me,
Who gave you the authority
To sit on the world-judgement-seat?
19563
The human mind is a productOf only one thing:
An undisciplined thought-mart-mob.
19564
The heart is always readyTo settle its sad disputes
With the mind.
But the mind is never ready,
And will never be ready.
19565
Ambition-fire,How hurtful you are.
Aspiration-flames,
How Godful you are.
19566
Suspicion my mind was.Frustration my mind is.
Perdition my life will be.
19567
On second thought,God still thinks of me,
He still loves me,
He still cares for me.
19568
Every thoughtEventually becomes a thorn
When I keep it for myself.
Every thought
Eventually becomes a rose
The moment I offer it to God.
19569
Hope never loses its beauty.Hope never loses its joy.
Hope never loses its power.
Hope never loses God’s Compassion-Eye.
19570
When I am in my mind,I do not know which way to go.
When I am in my heart,
Not only do I know which way to go,
But also I clearly see
That God is beckoning me.
19571
My Lord’s soul-stirring flute-melodiesWill always be heard
By my heart-ears,
If not by my mind-ears.
19572
God’s Compassion is always eagerTo exchange stories
With my aspiration-heart.
19573
I have only one home,Eternity’s Home,
And that Eternity’s Home
Is the Immortality-Boat
Of my Lord Supreme.
19574
Alas, years have flown by,But I have not yet taken
God’s side completely,
Not to speak of
Concentrating on God’s Victory.
19575
Who will apologise for me?No, not the human in my mind,
But the Divine in my heart.
19576
When our gratitude-heartComes to the fore,
Our doubting mind
Can easily be replaced
By our aspiration-heart,
Even on short notice from God.
19577
A sincere seeker knows and feelsThat the beauty, purity and fragrance
Of a flower
Can easily humble his life.
19578
God wants our aspiration-flamesTo rise high, higher, highest
And then dance around
His beloved planet-son-sun.
19579
God’s Compassion strengthens usSo that we do not fear
Our darkness-mind.
God’s Forgiveness energises us
So that we do not fear
Our ruthless foe:
Ignorance.
19580
When God is not the centreOf your attention,
How do you expect to have
A satisfaction-heart?
19581
When the silence of your heartLeads you,
There is no mind-barrier
That you cannot surmount.
19582
Make your decision:What you want to get from life
Or what you want to give to life.
Do not allow yourself to be engulfed
In your mind’s indecision-mist.
19583
Be not afraid ofYour teeming weaknesses.
Confront them valiantly.
You are bound to succeed.
19584
My Lord Supreme,May Your Compassion
And Forgiveness-moments
Forever live
Inside my gratitude-heart.
19585
Each time I cherish a wrong thought,I lose my inner height
And am dwarfed by my own misfortune.
19586
My Lord, do give me the capacityTo sleeplessly knock
At Your Heart’s Compassion-Door.
19587
I am not going to waste any more timeIn my mind’s thinking room.
I shall spend my time only gardening
In my heart-garden.
19588
Each attempt at perfectionOpens a new door
To the beauty of a new world.
19589
Alas, I do not knowHow my heart can endure
The excruciating pangs
Of a Godless future!
19590
The mind that is floodedWith Infinity’s Peace
Is entitled to have
A universal passport to freedom.
19591
Be not trappedWithin yesterday’s unaspiring memories.
Open your heart-door
To tomorrow’s new dawn.
19592
When the activity of lifeIs supported by
The serenity of the mind,
Man can accomplish
Whatever he wants to.
19593
If you are a God-obedient seeker,A world-oneness-heart
You will be able to claim
As your own.
19594
If you do not giveYour undivided attention
To God-Utterances,
You are bound to remain inside
Your mind’s temptation-deception-room.
19595
The smiling dawnInvites my mind to pray.
The weeping evening
Invites my heart to meditate.
And I always
Soulfully accept their invitations.
19596
Consciously you are enjoying self-doubt.That means
Unconsciously you are paralysing
All your God-loving
And God-serving limbs.
19597
Whenever I am in the company of my mind,It gives me a very hard time.
Whenever I am in the company of my heart,
We mutually give each other
Blossoming happiness.
Alas, I do not know why and how
I still spend so much time with my mind.
19598
I am absolutely certainThat the emptiness-mind
And the fulness-heart
Need each other
To complement each other.
19599
You are sadThat your pleasure-life is fleeting.
You will be infinitely more sad
When your heart’s aspiration-boat
Starts sinking.
19600
O my heart,You are walking along the path
Of progress.
Although you may at times suffer
From a stumbling sadness,
Here there is no permanent defeat.
