Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 214

Return to the table of contents

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 death
Invariably 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 world
Nobody 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 point
To 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 heart
Is 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 do
Will 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 peace
Is 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 know
When and how
I will be able to come back safely
To my aspiration-heart-home.

21318

When my mind tells me
That it can and will
Obey God’s Dictates,
I always suspect
That it has an ulterior motive.

21319

A God-loving soul
Must pray and meditate
Every morning and evening
Without fail.
Otherwise, he has to carry
An extremely heavy burden
Of self-blame.

21320

My unconditional surrender
And 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 blossoms
Only 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 being
Will always remain blind
To tomorrow’s dawn.

21326

God’s Heart-Intimacy I feel
Only when
I prayerfully accept
His “never say no” policy.

21327

God can bless the seeker
With His Himalayan Smile
Only when he is all ready
To give up his desire-hunger-life.

21328

Each purity-thought in our mind
Helps 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-heart
Does not greedily devour
But lovingly houses
A division-mind.

21331

God neither hires us nor fires us
For 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 humanity
Is His Compassion-Eye.
Humanity’s most extraordinary gift to God
Is its gratitude-heart.

21333

The compassion-sun of the soul
Purifies the mind,
Intensifies the heart
And beautifies the life.

21334

If yours is a heart
Of indomitable courage,
Then God will entrust you
With His world-manifestation-Light.

21335

The absence of disobedience-darkness
Is 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 heart
Are in dispute,
God outwardly does not interfere,
But inwardly He always takes the side
Of the heart.

21338

Poor God is crying and dying
Just 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-fog
Cannot 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 bliss
Will 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 God
Sleeplessly 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 God
That I love Him only,
He gives me two special wings
To fly in His Infinity’s Heart-Sky.

21348

I am just a tiny drop
In the ocean of God’s
Hope-manifestation.

21349

For the past few years
My aspiration-heart
Has been crying and crying
Only to unlearn the things
My desire-mind has taught me.

21350

If you are undaunted
By 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-heart
And 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 time
When 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 Compassion
Has raised us up.
Now allow His Satisfaction
To swiftly come down.

21357

A desire unfulfilled
Is not a tragedy
But a real triumph
Of the heart over the mind.

21358

As the aspiration-road
Is 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 glowing
Because my heart’s gratitude-tears
Are ceaselessly flowing.

21362

Only a oneness-heart
Has the capacity
To challenge and defeat
The ignorant division-mind.

21363

A mind of harmony
Has to be founded
Upon a oneness-heart of bliss.

21364

God will bless you
With 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 heart
If you want to succeed.
Your old heart is infected
By darkest impurity.

21367

My Lord makes me happy
With the breath of a moment
And not with the lives
Of hours.

21368

God’s Compassion-Heart
And my aspiration-heart
Have forever and forever
Sealed their partnership.

21369

My mind needs the God
Who 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 God
What my life has:
A prayer.
God gives me
What His Heart is:
A Smile.

21372

I stand upon the summit of my years
To sing happily and proudly
My soul’s unsung songs.

21373

Sound is the pride
Of my fleeting time.
Silence is the pride
Of God’s own Eternity
And Infinity.

21374

How can you have satisfaction
If you do not care for
Total perfection in your life?

21375

Life’s trials and tribulations
Bring to the fore
The splendour and lustre
Of our own divinity.

21376

God’s outer Promise
Is 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 unconditionally
Can we enjoy the boundless peace
Of a freedom-sky.

21379

A sleeplessly self-giving disciple
Is indeed
The Master’s greatest pride.

21380

May my mind swim every day
In the river of simplicity,
And may my heart swim every day
In the sea of sincerity.

21381

May I each and every day
Sing a never-ending
Surrender-song.

21382

When we do not meditate on God
For 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-reliance
Is the speed and breath
Of my Golden Shore-arriving
Life-boat.

21385

A spotless life of virtue
Is indeed good,
But a sleeplessly self-giving life to God
Is better.

21386

I am not dismayed
By the world’s ingratitude,
But I am definitely dismayed
By the world’s God-denial.

21387

A blessingful Smile from God
Is indeed a cure
For our heart’s
Streaming tears.

21388

God does not expect us
To 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 gratitude
Is most precious,
And my mind’s ingratitude
Is dangerously infectious.

21394

God-aspiration and God-realisation
Are the two journeys
That I am expected to take
All by myself.

21395

The unaspiring mind
Is a mass of contradictions.
The searching mind
Is the fragrance of God-affirmation.

21396

Because your meditation
Is an afterthought,
I cannot appreciate your wisdom-light
And God-awareness-height.

21397

You do not have to be afraid
Of 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 healed
Sooner 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.
