Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 21
2001
My Beloved Supreme,I am totally lost
Without the Smile of Your Eyes.
“My child,
I am immediately lost
Without the love of your heart.”
2002
God does scold the weak soulsThat fail to manifest Him
Successfully on earth.
This is a direct report
A seeker has received
From the soul’s country.
2003
God has dismissed my vitalFor its restlessness.
God has dismissed my mind
For its carelessness.
God has dismissed my heart
For its helplessness.
But God has not dismissed me
For I am still all soulfulness.
2004
The story of a former God-seeker is this:God does not need him any more
And earth ridicules him evermore.
2005
If you lose your gripOn the obedience-rope,
You are bound to find yourself
Inside the abysmal abyss
Of destruction.
2006
God is ready to inventA new way every day
For you to please Him.
Now the question is,
Are you going to accept it?
Are you?
Ever?
2007
Your life may be a slowAspiration-train,
But you will reach
Your God-ordained destination
Unmistakably.
2008
O my mind,I am now all ready
To clip
Your shameless jealousy-wings
With my soul’s oneness-light.
2009
God will grant youHis Victory-Speed
If you are willing to sit
At His Compassion-Feet
With your heart’s surrender-smile.
2010
I see my helpless soulBetween my Lord’s
Blessingful Messages
And my mind’s
Deaf ear.
2011
My Beloved SupremeHas lovingly and carefully shaped
My aspiration-statue
From ignorance-clay.
2012
If you love God only,Then God will sleeplessly protect you
From doubt’s giant embrace.
2013
Every day my aspiration-heartTakes a number of exercises.
Otherwise my life will suffer
From my desire-burden’s excessive weight.
2014
He who loves GodIn the aspiration-world
Has no responsibility of his own.
The Compassion of God
Does everything for him.
He who loves ignorance
In the desire-world
Has also no responsibility of his own.
The temptation of ignorance
Does everything for him.
2015
The tentacles of attachmentHave crippled
His unlit earthly years.
2016
Why do you not claimThe ever-claimable God
Instead of claiming
Ignorance-rogue?
2017
While crying,If you get satisfaction,
Then God is unmistakably coming to you
For your liberation-smile.
2018
I whistleMy universal oneness-song
In the sweet arms
Of my golden dreams.
2019
Where am I?I am in between
My heart’s newness
And my Lord’s Fulness.
2020
The only time you can be beatenBy the world
Is when your mind becomes bound
By the chain of your fat pride!
2021
In the outer worldSincerity-children
Are in great demand.
In the inner world
Purity-saints
Are in great demand.
2022
My self-chosen ignorance-lifeI started to forget
The day I chose to treasure
My Lord’s Silence-Smile.
2023
If you are consistently receptiveTo God’s blessingful Smile,
Then your liberation
Will not remain a far cry.
2024
Because of your heart’sInner revelation
Today we are able to see the lustre
Of your outer illumination.
2025
Now that I amMy heart’s silence-light,
My Lord has become
His own Ecstasy-Height.
2026
A pioneer-soulIs he who has
Two beautiful and powerful
God-serving wings.
2027
Mine is the mindThat is hopeless helplessness.
Therefore, mine is the life
That is forced to be
An eternal ache.
2028
His mind is embarrassed to prayBecause its little inferior brother,
The vital,
Saw it praying to God the Destroyer
And not to God the Liberator.
2029
You are a foolIf you think
That it is not necessary
To keep your heart-rooms
Filled with shrines.
2030
The worst culprit is heWho does not want to pray
To tomorrow’s God
And meditate on tomorrow’s God.
Who is tomorrow’s God?
The Peace-Dance of Oneness-Delight.
2031
O my soul’s hunter-seeker,You can easily kill
My life’s ignorance-tiger.
Just try!
You are bound to succeed,
You are bound to succeed!
2032
Yesterday my mindWas walking up a steep hill.
Today my heart
Is a beacon light
On that steep hill.
2033
I worshipGod’s Compassion-Flood.
God energises
My life-blood.
2034
O desire-man,Your heart’s door
Has a very strong lock.
No man-made key can open it.
Therefore, I am praying
To God’s Vision-Eye
Not only to open your heart
But also to help me enter
Into your heart
And play with you there
God’s Satisfaction-Game.
2035
God’s Compassion-HeartIs always for sale,
But God’s Justice-Eye
Is never for sale.
2036
My prayer is my heart’sHidden power.
My meditation is my soul’s
Revealed light.
2037
A soulful seeker will never allowThe wild hunger
Of his untamed vital-tiger
To be deathless.
2038
Do not allow your hope to fade!It is never too late
To become a perfect instrument
Of God.
2039
His life’s crucifixionIs the daily giver
Of human aspiration.
2040
If you desperately need God,God will grant you
A full moon in your hope-sky.
2041
Yesterday my desire-lifeDesired to bind God
From the Sole of His Foot
To the Crown of His Head.
Today my aspiration-life
Is begging my Lord Supreme
To liberate me.
2042
Two are the incurableAnd unending diseases in my life:
My mind knows everything,
My life does not learn anything.
2043
My serving lifeBelongs to him alone
Who needs my loving heart.
2044
How can I be your friend,My mind,
When you are disproportionately infatuated
With your little self?
2045
A church-goer is supposed to beA God-believer.
But, alas!
A God-believer is supposed to be
A God-lover.
But, alas!
2046
If you want to neglect anything,Then neglect your old
Unaspiring life.
Let it totally die
Of neglect!
2047
How and why should GodOpen His Heart-Gate to you
If you secretly enjoy
The storm of hate?
2048
Your soul’s God-love will outlastYour heart’s inner frustration
And your mind’s outer destruction.
2049
Alas, why have I allowedMy deception-mind
To hijack my heart’s
Aspiration-airplane?
Why?
2050
Your mind may beIn jealousy’s prison,
But your heart is definitely
In the delight-waves
Of oneness-sea.
2051
I prayed to GodFor a doubt-free mind.
Therefore, His Protection-Umbrella
Is shielding my head.
2052
I have two beloved Guests:God the visible Cry
And God the invisible Smile.
2053
If you are a true truth-seeker,How can you fear
Investigation?
If you are a true God-lover,
How can you not fear
Procrastination?
2054
A heart of silenceIs the perfect answer
To my mind’s volley of questions.
2055
What are you doing?Can you not hear
That your soul
Is summoning you?
Can you not see
That real happiness-petals
Are blossoming within you?
2056
Because your mind is searchingFor hope,
Your soul will free your life
From ignorance.
2057
Although yoursIs a self-chosen pain,
The physician within you
Has decided to cure you
Completely.
2058
Every day my Beloved SupremeAffectionately and blessingfully
Trains my devoted heart
On my soul’s beautiful track.
2059
The Compassion-Eye of my sweet LordIs always ready to lead,
But is my insecurity-heart
Willing to follow?
2060
I have a cute monkey-mindTo entertain my outer life.
I have a soulful flute-heart
To enlighten my inner life.
2061
My Beloved Supreme,Do give me only one boon:
That I shall not make
Even a single mistake
In my next lifetime.
2062
Every morning I ask myselfOnly two questions:
Why am I not loving my Beloved Supreme
More, infinitely more?
Is God pleased with me,
Really pleased with me?
2063
Alas, my Beloved Supreme and IDo not see eye-to-eye with each other.
This morning I was so excited
In telling my Lord Supreme
That I have become, at last,
The purity-glow of my soul.
My Beloved Supreme
Immediately corrected me:
“My child,
It is not the purity of your soul
That you have become.
You have become the pretence-show
Of your vital!”
2064
During your meditationGod appears and reappears
Many, many times before you,
But your blind despair-life
Prevents you from recognising God.
2065
My Beloved Supreme tiptoedThrough my golden dreams
And left behind on my bed
His Compassion-Eye
And His Forgiveness-Heart.
2066
Until I have unmistakably realisedThat my desire-life is a dead-end street,
How can my Lord Supreme show me
And lead me along
His free Highway?
2067
How can you haveA free parking permit
In God’s Self-Transcendence-World
When you have not prayed to God
To give you one of His
Earth-transcending
And Heaven-transcending
Vision-Cars?
2068
At long lastMy mind has become divine!
This morning
My mind gave a standing ovation
To my heart
For its free access to my soul.
2069
My heart is every dayCarefully nurturing the aspiration
Of its infant brother, mind.
2070
Aspiration-medicine curesBoth the mind’s foolishness
And the heart’s barrenness.
2071
Oh, I need help,I need everybody’s help!
My life is chained
To my mind’s despair-night.
2072
You may at mostTouch another’s mind,
But never, never
His mind’s doubts.
2073
Only a heart of implicit faithIs chosen to be
On Heaven’s Board of Directors.
2074
Do not be a fool!God has already lowered
The God-realisation-price
Considerably.
He is not going to lower it
Any more.
2075
Self-pity,Are you not the worst foe
Of my God-given
Satisfaction-capacity?
2076
Behold!God has given you
A front-row seat
To watch His Satisfaction-Dance.
2077
A common experience:A doubting mind
Eventually becomes
A betraying mind.
2078
Unless you have a mindOf equanimity,
How can you live
Inside the Satisfaction-Home
Of God’s Heart?
2079
Because I am spanningThe summits of the mind,
My life is able to live
In the house
Of tomorrow’s perfection-smile.
2080
My heart touched God’sDream-Boat
Only to become
A reality-passenger.
2081
My Lord Supreme,Only one prayer I have:
Do give me a gratitude-heart
Of birthless origin
And deathless end.
2082
God has broken my mindSo that my heart can claim
His Life as its very own.
2083
You doubt me.That means you do not see
God’s Vision-Beauty
In me and through me.
2084
My heart’s mountain-moving faithAnd my Lord’s Compassion-descending Eye
Shall eternally remain
Two excellent friends.
2085
My mind is never readyTo choose anything.
My heart is always ready
To choose silence.
2086
God always wantsA purity-heart
To be His Satisfaction-Standard-Bearer.
2087
As a doubting mindDeserves an immediate death,
Even so, a faithful heart
Deserves an eternal life.
2088
My Lord, alas,My heart-bridge is broken.
“My child,
Do not worry.
Give your soul a chance.
It will be able to repair it
Easily and perfectly.”
2089
Your mind’s brillianceWill lose all its charm
Long before your heart
Is ready to wake up fully.
2090
Your inner life needsA constant reminder
Of purity’s beauty.
Your outer life needs
A constant reminder
Of sincerity’s certainty.
2091
Your mind’s ignoranceWill examine you.
But your soul’s wisdom
Must examine you first
If you want to become
A perfect God-lover.
2092
Alas, my heart’s surrender-plantDoes not grow,
And my life’s gratitude-fruit
Never ripens.
2093
Beg your conscienceTo examine you.
It will help you to become a good student
At God’s Perfection-School.
2094
My Lord,Yesterday You were something to me.
Today You have become everything
In my life.
2095
Heaven gave himAn all-seeing soul.
He is giving Heaven
An all-loving heart.
2096
Desire-lifeBurns his body.
Aspiration-heart
Not only illumines him,
But also satisfies God.
2097
God’s most favourite DanceIs my nature’s
Fire-pure transformation.
2098
Why do you have to waitFor time to carry you to God?
Can you not carry
Your little human body
To God immediately?
2099
His mind’s aspiration-plantIs saving him
From frustration within
And frustration without.
2100
All that is neededIs aspiration
To realise God.
All that is needed
Is surrender
To become another God.
