Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 214
21301
Only one kind of dedication I need:My sleepless heart-dedication
To my Lord’s Compassion-Eye-Smile.
21302
What is a heart?A heart is the life’s
Aspiration-manifestation-nest.
21303
When we live in the unaspiring mind,We cannot free ourselves
From the darkest chaos
That clings to us.
21304
Spiritual deathInvariably visits me
When my heart is empty
Of God-cries.
21305
O my mind,Do not be a stark fool!
You will never succeed
In hiding my God-hunger-heart.
21306
In the inner worldNobody is rejected,
But injected every day
By God Himself
For a new hope-dawn
And a new promise-sun.
21307
In the inner life,Gratitude is the secret of secrets
To increase considerably
The seeker’s inner strides
To arrive at God’s
Satisfaction-Heart-Palace.
21308
Every day make it a pointTo forget at least one
Of the mind’s doubt-stories.
21309
When you walk with God,In God and for God,
The darkness of the mind
Becomes the delight of the soul.
21310
O seeker,Be extremely careful!
The aggression of your vital
And the suspicion of your mind
Can seal once and for all
The Heaven-door of your soul.
21311
The goodness of the heartIs a miracle-power.
Whenever it is seen,
It is seen with the beauty, purity
And divinity of the soul.
21312
Nothing that you are meant to doWill be left undone on earth
If you can consciously feel yourself
To be a real God-manifestation-soul.
21313
As there is no unattainable goal,Even so,
There shall be no unfulfilled
Truth-seeker and God-lover.
21314
He who spreads peaceIs not only a God-lover
But also a God-bringer
Into the world.
21315
O my God-loving heart,It is your faithfulness
In everything that you do
That is keeping me divinely alive
Here on earth.
21316
What is the real American dream?The real American dream is
A universal oneness-ecstasy —
Nothing more and nothing less.
21317
Alas, I really do not knowWhen and how
I will be able to come back safely
To my aspiration-heart-home.
21318
When my mind tells meThat it can and will
Obey God’s Dictates,
I always suspect
That it has an ulterior motive.
21319
A God-loving soulMust pray and meditate
Every morning and evening
Without fail.
Otherwise, he has to carry
An extremely heavy burden
Of self-blame.
21320
My unconditional surrenderAnd my cheerful gratitude
Help my Lord to smile, sing and dance
Right in front of the world-assembly.
21321
O seeker,Your aspiration-heart
Is bound to realise
That your life
Is not fruitlessly pursuing
God-Satisfaction-Award.
21322
O seeker,Your eyes can deceive you.
Your body, vital, mind,
Even heart can deceive you.
But no, never,
Your constantly God-blossoming soul.
21323
My hope-heart blossomsOnly when I worship God
Smilingly and self-givingly.
21324
O my mind,When are you planning
To come out of your
Thoughtless and useless
Frustration-jungle?
21325
The ego-bound human beingWill always remain blind
To tomorrow’s dawn.
21326
God’s Heart-Intimacy I feelOnly when
I prayerfully accept
His “never say no” policy.
21327
God can bless the seekerWith His Himalayan Smile
Only when he is all ready
To give up his desire-hunger-life.
21328
Each purity-thought in our mindHelps us achieve the racehorse-speed
To arrive at
Our ecstasy-flooded destination.
21329
To reach the mind’s oneness —And the heart’s fulness-summit,
I must wake up and delay not
In coming out of
My ignorance-pleasure-abyss.
21330
A oneness-heartDoes not greedily devour
But lovingly houses
A division-mind.
21331
God neither hires us nor fires usFor His Light-manifestation on earth.
It is we who choose Him, love Him
And manifest Him
To swim in the sea of happiness.
21332
God’s most extraordinary Gift to humanityIs His Compassion-Eye.
Humanity’s most extraordinary gift to God
Is its gratitude-heart.
21333
The compassion-sun of the soulPurifies the mind,
Intensifies the heart
And beautifies the life.
21334
If yours is a heartOf indomitable courage,
Then God will entrust you
With His world-manifestation-Light.
21335
The absence of disobedience-darknessIs good.
The end of disobedience-night
Is by far the best.
21336
My Lord,Is there any place
Where You enjoy my presence
And where You dislike my presence?
“My child,
I have a real liking
For your heart-garden-fragrance,
And I have a strong dislike
Of your mind-thorn-jungle.”
21337
When the mind and the heartAre in dispute,
God outwardly does not interfere,
But inwardly He always takes the side
Of the heart.
21338
Poor God is crying and dyingJust because
My heart is not loving
And my mind is not surrendering.
21339
When we have a childlike trust,Nothing can keep us away
From God’s Happiness-Pride.
21340
The mind and its confusion-fogCannot obscure our heart-vision
If our life becomes a selfless service-song
To God.
21341
O my mind,Is it such a difficult thing
For you to treasure some prayerful thoughts?
O my heart,
Is it such a difficult thing
For you to become dynamic
And not remain perpetually restless?
O my life,
Is it an impossible thing
For you to remain sleeplessly and breathlessly
At the Feet of the Lord Beloved Supreme?
21342
When I am inside my gratitude-heart,I find it quite easy
To accompany God everywhere.
21343
Wave after wave of blissWill envelop us
If we can make our love of God
Unconditional.
21344
God asks me if I have any questions.I tell God that I have only one question:
Will I ever be worthy
Of His constant Forgiveness?
21345
When I decided to love GodSleeplessly and breathlessly,
God immediately heard the news
And was completely overjoyed.
21346
My Lord,My world-complacency days
Are now all dead.
My world-loving days
Have just begun.
21347
Each time I tell GodThat I love Him only,
He gives me two special wings
To fly in His Infinity’s Heart-Sky.
21348
I am just a tiny dropIn the ocean of God’s
Hope-manifestation.
21349
For the past few yearsMy aspiration-heart
Has been crying and crying
Only to unlearn the things
My desire-mind has taught me.
21350
If you are undauntedBy earthly defeats,
Your Heavenly victories
Will before long dawn.
21351
O seeker,Be careful at every moment!
If not, at any moment
Desire-lightning
Can easily strike you down.
21352
Your aspiration-heartAnd God’s Compassion-Eye
Will definitely help your heart-boat
Sail the fastest
Towards the Golden Shore.
21353
Alas, I am totally lost!Fear
Is haunting my heart
And doubt
Is daunting my mind.
21354
There was a timeWhen I prayed to God
For my mind’s grandiosity,
But now
I am meditating on God
For my heart’s luminosity.
21355
O seeker,Your half-hearted meditations
Will not only delay
Your God-realisation
But will also weaken
Your heart’s inner cry.
21356
God’s CompassionHas raised us up.
Now allow His Satisfaction
To swiftly come down.
21357
A desire unfulfilledIs not a tragedy
But a real triumph
Of the heart over the mind.
21358
As the aspiration-roadIs long, longer, longest,
Even so, the temptation-flow
Is strong, stronger, strongest.
21359
I came into the world for two things:To notice the limitations
Of desire-strength
And to see the illumination
Of aspiration-peace.
21360
In the world of aspiration,O seeker,
Always try to be inspired
By Heavenly deeds
And not by earthly thoughts.
21361
My eyes are glowing and glowingBecause my heart’s gratitude-tears
Are ceaselessly flowing.
21362
Only a oneness-heartHas the capacity
To challenge and defeat
The ignorant division-mind.
21363
A mind of harmonyHas to be founded
Upon a oneness-heart of bliss.
21364
God will bless youWith a vast reservoir
Of inner wealth
If you are ready to give Him
Your outer possessions:
Fear, doubt, jealousy, anxiety,
Meanness and selfishness.
21365
To easily know what God’s Will is,We have to feed the Divine in us
And illumine the human in us.
21366
Try to have a new heartIf you want to succeed.
Your old heart is infected
By darkest impurity.
21367
My Lord makes me happyWith the breath of a moment
And not with the lives
Of hours.
21368
God’s Compassion-HeartAnd my aspiration-heart
Have forever and forever
Sealed their partnership.
21369
My mind needs the GodWho reprimands.
My heart needs the God
Who commands.
21370
When I get up early in the morning,My God most affectionately says to me:
“My child,
I shall do everything for you.”
When I get up late in the morning,
My God says to me:
“My child,
You be the doer and the enjoyer as well.”
21371
I give GodWhat my life has:
A prayer.
God gives me
What His Heart is:
A Smile.
21372
I stand upon the summit of my yearsTo sing happily and proudly
My soul’s unsung songs.
21373
Sound is the prideOf my fleeting time.
Silence is the pride
Of God’s own Eternity
And Infinity.
21374
How can you have satisfactionIf you do not care for
Total perfection in your life?
21375
Life’s trials and tribulationsBring to the fore
The splendour and lustre
Of our own divinity.
21376
God’s outer PromiseIs the inner Smile
Of His unconditional Compassion.
21377
What is doubt?The thing that punctures our mind,
Tortures our heart
And starves our soul.
21378
Only when we love God unconditionallyCan we enjoy the boundless peace
Of a freedom-sky.
21379
A sleeplessly self-giving discipleIs indeed
The Master’s greatest pride.
21380
May my mind swim every dayIn the river of simplicity,
And may my heart swim every day
In the sea of sincerity.
21381
May I each and every daySing a never-ending
Surrender-song.
21382
When we do not meditate on GodFor the fulfilment of God’s Will,
We just allow expectation-thunder
To completely deafen us.
21383
If we do not soulfully pray,Then our God-obedience-song
Is bound to be out of tune.
21384
My God-relianceIs the speed and breath
Of my Golden Shore-arriving
Life-boat.
21385
A spotless life of virtueIs indeed good,
But a sleeplessly self-giving life to God
Is better.
21386
I am not dismayedBy the world’s ingratitude,
But I am definitely dismayed
By the world’s God-denial.
21387
A blessingful Smile from GodIs indeed a cure
For our heart’s
Streaming tears.
21388
God does not expect usTo understand Him.
He just wants us
To derive happiness
From His Will.
21389
My Lord,You have made me truly happy,
Truly proud, truly fulfilled
By telling me
You have a limitless claim
On my love.
21390
O doubt,Because you are so stupid,
You dare to judge others.
O suspicion,
Because you are so useless,
You want the rest to be in your company.
21391
O doubt, do not boast.Not only my heart-coast
But even my mind-coast
Cannot welcome you.
21392
What is my mind?My mind is an ill-fated
Runaway train.
21393
To me my heart’s gratitudeIs most precious,
And my mind’s ingratitude
Is dangerously infectious.
21394
God-aspiration and God-realisationAre the two journeys
That I am expected to take
All by myself.
21395
The unaspiring mindIs a mass of contradictions.
The searching mind
Is the fragrance of God-affirmation.
21396
Because your meditationIs an afterthought,
I cannot appreciate your wisdom-light
And God-awareness-height.
21397
You do not have to be afraidOf your bold God-promises.
Because you have a sincere heart,
God will illumine you
And fulfil Himself in and through you.
21398
The outer wounds may be healedSooner or later,
But to heal the inner wound
Is almost an impossible task.
21399
Now that my love is pure,My devotion intense
And my surrender spontaneous,
I see my Lord Beloved Supreme
Dancing in my heart’s all-illumining dawn.
21400
Who is the Master’s greatest pride?The Master’s greatest pride is the God-lover
Whose heart breaks into millions of pieces
When the Master is hopelessly swimming
In the sea of tears.
Who is the Master’s greatest pride?
The Master’s greatest pride is the God-lover
Who proudly, sleeplessly and breathlessly
Watches the Master flying
In Infinity’s ecstasy-sky.
