Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 228

Return to the table of contents

22701

There is only one heart:
The heart of humanity.
There is only one song:
The song of oneness-peace.

22702

O ascending cry
Of 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 in
And 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 beauty
Of 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 moment
When 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 sung
Is indeed a short-cut
To the supreme destination:
The Golden Shore.

22709

Each soulful song
Is 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 Supreme
Bestows 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 Sound
Is 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 world
Has 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 feel
That 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 me
For 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 Supreme
Appreciates my success-life,
He not only admires
But also loves
My progress-heart.

22721

The power that builds
The 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 belong
To 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’s
Doubt-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 say
That 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 Presence
Of 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 world
There 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 risk
That we must face.
Hope is the God-invoking force
In us.

22737

What I really love about God
Is His constant declaration
That He and I
Are eternally, universally one.

22738

If you do not try
To better your life,
Then the unaspiring forces in you
Will sooner or later
Fetter you.

22739

My experience-heart
Is my life’s bank.
My realisation-soul
Is my life’s banker.

22740

Although I do not have
An 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 peace
And my soul’s bliss
Have made a solemn promise
To each other:
They will forever remain
Running partners.

22742

Hope is the best possession
In our God-aspiring life.
Promise is the best possession
In our God-manifesting life.

22743

My restless mind
Has 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 say
Whatever 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 succeed
When I try to liberate myself
With fragile hopes
And when I try to bind God
With brittle promises?

22749

Alas, why does my aspiration
So often disappear
Like a quicksilver dream?

22750

I know each individual human being
Will one day be blessed
With the nectar-bliss
Of God’s Dream.
But, alas, when?

22751

Nothing mortal can ever
Be 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 swerve
From your God-satisfaction-promise,
Either today or any day.

22754

What can poor God do
When a genuine seeker
Deliberately enjoys unspiritual things?
He just watches
In sad amazement.

22755

The beauty
Of hope’s outer life
And the fragrance
Of hope’s inner life
Are keeping humanity sane.

22756

God can never and will never
Postpone
Any seeker’s God-realisation.

22757

No matter how unaspiring
The human mind is,
It is not yet considered hopeless
By God.

22758

The mind’s sincerity
And 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 regularly
Pray 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 eager
For the fulfilment of God-duty,
The Goal itself
Most affectionately beckons the mind.

22763

An unconditionally surrendered soul
Is 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 heart
Has 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 care
For my spiritual life,
Not only the divine in me,
But also God Himself,
Is puzzled and disturbed.

22768

There are a few things
That God particularly dislikes.
One of them
Is my insincere self-abnegation.

22769

Alas, my heart’s gratitude-flower
Has 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

Today
My 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-smile
Holds even God
Fascinated and spellbound.

22774

The God-experience is guaranteed
If the mind is absolutely sincere
And the heart is entirely pure.

22775

When there is a competition
Between 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 God
By God’s Thunder-Feet.
Wisdom knows God
By God’s Satisfaction-Eye.

22777

God’s Compassion
Is not only older
Than God’s Justice,
But also more durable.

22778

My human life
Is indeed a great debt.
My divine life
Is indeed a constant payment.

22779

Self-giving and joy
Are so fond of each other
That they have become
Inseparable companions.

22780

It does not take years of training
To 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 soul
Can neither be seen nor heard
By a man with no aspiration.

22783

Today
My 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 thought
Eventually ends with
Both misery and sadness.

22786

The first step on Heaven’s ladder
Always invites those
Who live only for God’s Heart-Smile
And Heart-Satisfaction.

22787

My mind’s problems
Are deathless.
My heart’s problems
Are joyless.
My life’s problems
Are useless.

22788

My mind’s peace
And my heart’s joy
Have become quite close friends.

22789

God tells me
That every day is a holiday
For the God-surrender-heart.

22790

God secretly chides
My doubting mind
And openly rewards
My searching mind.

22791

God is bound to strengthen my heart
In His own Way
If I feel His Way is the only way.

22792

I do not want to become
A 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 spirituality
Are the perfection of human nature
And the satisfaction of God.

22795

Beautiful
Are our heart’s tears.
Powerful
Are our soul’s smiles.
Fruitful
Is our life’s surrender-dance.

22796

A heart of aspiration
Is 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 create
Inside yourself
A sense of obligation
To serve God
In each and every human being.

22799

My willingness to please God
In God’s own Way
Creates not a life
Of binding imprisonment,
But a life of ever-increasing freedom.

22800

Aspiration teaches us
How to rise
High, higher, highest
And arrive at
Our Immortality’s Home.
