Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 228
22701
There is only one heart:The heart of humanity.
There is only one song:
The song of oneness-peace.
22702
O ascending cryOf humanity’s heart,
I love you.
O descending smile
Of Divinity’s soul,
I love you,
Plus, I need you.
22703
Each time we breathe inAnd breathe out,
If we can sing God’s Victory-Song,
Then God will claim us
As His Eternity’s own, very own.
22704
May the infinite beautyOf America’s soul
Awaken America’s body,
Liberate America’s vital,
Illumine America’s mind,
And feed America’s heart,
To liberate them from
The fetters of ignorance-night.
22705
There is not a single momentWhen our heartbeat is not singing a song.
But we must make sure that this song
Is either earth-illumining
Or Heaven-fulfilling,
Or both.
22706
Fulfilment you want?Then long before
The interference of the mind,
Fulfil yourself by identifying entirely
With your God-loving heart
And God-serving life.
22707
For a God-music-lover,Each soulful song
Is a most delicious banquet.
22708
Each soulful song self-givingly sungIs indeed a short-cut
To the supreme destination:
The Golden Shore.
22709
Each soulful songIs our heart’s inner happiness
And our life’s outer fulfilment.
22710
O seeker,The Supreme is more than willing
To give you
His most valuable possession:
Compassion.
But you have to be ready
To receive it
With utmost willingness.
22711
For a citizen of the world,Peace
Is the life of perfection,
Peace
Is the breath of satisfaction.
22712
I am happy, supremely happy,Because my Inner Music Teacher,
God the Supreme Musician,
Takes my aspiration-heart
As His choice instrument.
22713
When our Lord SupremeBestows upon us
His unconditional Compassion-Light,
He creates a new hope
And a new promise in us,
Him to fulfil in His own Way.
22714
Immortality’s Soundless SoundIs an inner discovery
Which has to be brought to the fore
For the transformation of the human mind
And the perfection of the human life.
22715
The outer worldHas to be awakened
And remain awakened
Consciously and constantly,
So that it can develop the eagerness-hunger
To accept the beauty and divinity
Of the inner world.
22716
Without peace of mind,No human being
Must even dream of
Raising the consciousness of mankind.
22717
From the heart of my prayer,I receive Divinity’s Peace.
From the soul of my meditation,
I receive Immortality’s Delight.
22718
If you do not feelThat God has chosen you
To establish His Victory
Here on earth,
How can God ever accept you
For the manifestation of His Light?
22719
At times my mind condemns meFor the blunders I have made.
But, alas, will the mind ever confess
That it has acted
In a deplorably faulty way
In and through me?
22720
Although my Lord Beloved SupremeAppreciates my success-life,
He not only admires
But also loves
My progress-heart.
22721
The power that buildsThe mind-tower
And the power that creates
The heart-fountain
Have the same Source:
God’s Compassion-Eye.
22722
O my mind,I do not celebrate anything,
But I shall definitely celebrate
Your unconditional surrender
To my universal oneness-heart.
22723
Although ignorance perpetuates itself,It does not have an endless life.
Its earth-bound life
Will, without fail,
Eventually surrender
To the Heaven-free life.
22724
I entirely belongTo God’s Smile.
God sleeplessly belongs
To my heart’s cries.
22725
When you do something wrong,Pray to God the Illumination
To illumine you,
Instead of asking God the Compassion
To forgive you.
If God the Compassion forgives you,
You may repeat the same mistake
Again and again.
But if God the Illumination illumines you,
Then once and for all you will be liberated
From the ruthless attacks of ignorance-night.
22726
Where are the cosmic gods today?They may not be in Heaven;
They may not be on earth;
But they can definitely be found
Inside our God-crying hearts.
22727
Do not try to deceive your Master.You will never succeed;
But your act of deception
Will take you away from your only friend
Both in Heaven and on earth.
22728
How to jump your mind’sDoubt-hurdles?
Feed your heart’s faith
Consciously and cheerfully.
You are bound to succeed
In jumping all doubt-hurdles.
22729
I thought God was ignoring me,But now I see
God was just making me ready
To perform a higher task.
22730
If you sayThat there is nobody you can trust,
Then I tell you
That you are mistaken.
You can definitely trust the Divine,
The ever-illumining Divine,
Which is the birthright
Of each and every human being.
22731
My Lord,When I see myself
Through my own eyes,
I swim in the sea of sadness-failure.
But when I see myself
Through Your Eyes,
You bless me immediately
With Your Peace-Freedom-Satisfaction.
22732
Never stop loving your life,For God Himself
Loves and treasures your life
Proudly.
22733
If you invoke the PresenceOf God the Satisfaction,
You may not succeed.
But if you invoke the Presence
Of God the Compassion,
You will, without fail, succeed.
22734
In the outer worldThere are many, many thieves.
In the inner world
There is only one thief,
And that thief
Is our ego-thief.
22735
Some are born great.The human mind
Can fall under that category.
Some are born good.
The divine heart
Definitely falls under that category.
22736
Hope is not a riskThat we must face.
Hope is the God-invoking force
In us.
22737
What I really love about GodIs His constant declaration
That He and I
Are eternally, universally one.
22738
If you do not tryTo better your life,
Then the unaspiring forces in you
Will sooner or later
Fetter you.
22739
My experience-heartIs my life’s bank.
My realisation-soul
Is my life’s banker.
22740
Although I do not haveAn iota of peace in my mind,
I am sure God will not allow my mind
To remain in agony.
God will one day illumine my mind
And bless my mind
With Infinity’s Peace.
22741
My heart’s peaceAnd my soul’s bliss
Have made a solemn promise
To each other:
They will forever remain
Running partners.
22742
Hope is the best possessionIn our God-aspiring life.
Promise is the best possession
In our God-manifesting life.
22743
My restless mindHas no time to think of peace,
But peace always finds time
To try to make my mind
Not merely good,
But perfect.
22744
Let us not be empty of common sense.What common sense demands of us
Is not to indulge always
In expectation.
22745
Let failure sayWhatever it wants.
I shall never surrender
To the pangs of failure,
But to the happiness of triumph:
God-triumph in me,
Through me and for me.
22746
God never forces me.He does not even force
My wild ego
To surrender to Him.
22747
My Lord,There was a time
When I prayed to You
To bless me with what You have.
But now I am praying to You
To bless me with what You are:
Love.
22748
Alas, how can I succeedWhen I try to liberate myself
With fragile hopes
And when I try to bind God
With brittle promises?
22749
Alas, why does my aspirationSo often disappear
Like a quicksilver dream?
22750
I know each individual human beingWill one day be blessed
With the nectar-bliss
Of God’s Dream.
But, alas, when?
22751
Nothing mortal can everBe enduring.
Nothing immortal can ever
Be hiding.
22752
In our spiritual life,When we lose a material object,
It is no loss.
Rather, it can be a great advantage.
22753
Never swerveFrom your God-satisfaction-promise,
Either today or any day.
22754
What can poor God doWhen a genuine seeker
Deliberately enjoys unspiritual things?
He just watches
In sad amazement.
22755
The beautyOf hope’s outer life
And the fragrance
Of hope’s inner life
Are keeping humanity sane.
22756
God can never and will neverPostpone
Any seeker’s God-realisation.
22757
No matter how unaspiringThe human mind is,
It is not yet considered hopeless
By God.
22758
The mind’s sincerityAnd the heart’s purity
Have to be kept alive all the time.
If not,
The aspiration-flames can perish
In a single moment.
22759
When God teaches my heart its duty,My heart always willingly, eagerly
And self-givingly
Learns it.
22760
If we do not regularlyPray and meditate,
Then our God-realisation-hope
Will fight against ignorance-night
Only to die.
22761
When the heart is silent,God is seen to be
Profoundly occupied inside it.
22762
When the mind is ready and eagerFor the fulfilment of God-duty,
The Goal itself
Most affectionately beckons the mind.
22763
An unconditionally surrendered soulIs selected by God Himself
As the example of perfect Perfection.
22764
Why should you cry?Why should you die?
God has not yet pronounced your life
A sad and total failure.
22765
Each aspiring heartHas its own eagerness
For God’s Arrival-Hour.
22766
Poor God!Even His Patience
Has now begun to despair
Because of my mind’s constant refusal
To accept light.
22767
When I deliberately do not careFor my spiritual life,
Not only the divine in me,
But also God Himself,
Is puzzled and disturbed.
22768
There are a few thingsThat God particularly dislikes.
One of them
Is my insincere self-abnegation.
22769
Alas, my heart’s gratitude-flowerHas not yet made its appearance
In my life.
22770
God never denies me opportunities.It is I who never avail myself
Of my God-given opportunities.
22771
Among life’s spiritual disasters,Negativity
Is by far the quickest.
22772
TodayMy heart is all sadness
Because, contrary to its own conviction,
My Lord Supreme is telling my heart
To raise its aspiration-standard.
22773
My mind’s sincerity-smileHolds even God
Fascinated and spellbound.
22774
The God-experience is guaranteedIf the mind is absolutely sincere
And the heart is entirely pure.
22775
When there is a competitionBetween the mind and the heart,
It is always the heart of faith
That travels far
And sees much,
Not the mind of doubt.
22776
Ignorance knows GodBy God’s Thunder-Feet.
Wisdom knows God
By God’s Satisfaction-Eye.
22777
God’s CompassionIs not only older
Than God’s Justice,
But also more durable.
22778
My human lifeIs indeed a great debt.
My divine life
Is indeed a constant payment.
22779
Self-giving and joyAre so fond of each other
That they have become
Inseparable companions.
22780
It does not take years of trainingTo discipline the mind.
Walk along the road of surrender.
God Himself will discipline your mind.
22781
When I have aspiration,I fly to God.
When I do not have aspiration,
I fly like a bird
With a broken wing.
22782
The subtle beauty of the soulCan neither be seen nor heard
By a man with no aspiration.
22783
TodayMy sincerity-heart makes me feel
That God’s exasperation
With regard to my spiritual progress
Is more than justified.
22784
Alas,My mind’s disobedience-tempest
Has destroyed all my heart’s
God-worshipping flowers.
22785
Each unaspiring thoughtEventually ends with
Both misery and sadness.
22786
The first step on Heaven’s ladderAlways invites those
Who live only for God’s Heart-Smile
And Heart-Satisfaction.
22787
My mind’s problemsAre deathless.
My heart’s problems
Are joyless.
My life’s problems
Are useless.
22788
My mind’s peaceAnd my heart’s joy
Have become quite close friends.
22789
God tells meThat every day is a holiday
For the God-surrender-heart.
22790
God secretly chidesMy doubting mind
And openly rewards
My searching mind.
22791
God is bound to strengthen my heartIn His own Way
If I feel His Way is the only way.
22792
I do not want to becomeA walking miracle.
I just want to become
A God-loving, heart-crying reality.
22793
Even when my heart-flower sleeps,It offers beauty, sweetness
And fragrance
To all those who approach it.
22794
The ultimate gifts of spiritualityAre the perfection of human nature
And the satisfaction of God.
22795
BeautifulAre our heart’s tears.
Powerful
Are our soul’s smiles.
Fruitful
Is our life’s surrender-dance.
22796
A heart of aspirationIs a bridge.
A life of surrender
Is the goal.
22797
O disobedience,Will you ever be ashamed
Of your ruthless mind,
Ruthless life,
Even your ruthless heart,
If you have any?
22798
It is you who have to createInside yourself
A sense of obligation
To serve God
In each and every human being.
22799
My willingness to please GodIn God’s own Way
Creates not a life
Of binding imprisonment,
But a life of ever-increasing freedom.
22800
Aspiration teaches usHow to rise
High, higher, highest
And arrive at
Our Immortality’s Home.
