Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 229
22801
A devotion-heartEvery day runs an inner marathon
Happily, prayerfully and self-givingly.
22802
Peace and GodCame and went, alas,
When my heart and my life
Were fast asleep.
22803
A climbing heartReaches God’s Summit-Satisfaction-Heights
Sooner than anything else.
22804
To have peace of mind,You must take God always
As He is.
22805
There is no inner illness on earthThat cannot be cured
With the streaming tears
Of the heart.
22806
ObstaclesExisted, exist and will always exist
In the mind
Unless and until
We make our God-surrender complete.
22807
My sadness-eyesTo Heaven I offer daily.
My madness-eyes
To earth I offer daily.
My happiness-eyes,
Alas, I have long lost —
I hope not forever.
22808
My heart’s sleepless obedienceAnd my Lord’s endless Satisfaction
Are interdependent.
22809
God does not want usTo crucify
Our life’s ignorance-night.
He wants us
To purify and beautify
Our life’s ignorance-night.
22810
O my self-importance,I have had enough of you.
Now leave me alone!
O my God-dependence,
Do hasten your arrival.
I am in sleepless expectation!
22811
We are all God-representatives,But because of doubting minds
And fearful hearts
We fail to know what we truly are.
22812
TodayI do not know why and how
My willingness-eagerness-heart
Is overcast
By my doubt-darkness-mind.
22813
There can be no wall of separativityBetween the mind’s clarity
And the heart’s purity.
22814
If you want to be captured,Then allow yourself
To be captured by ambition,
And not by lethargy.
22815
Each individual seekerIs blessed with
An inner doubt-devouring faith.
22816
Ego and ego’s loud barkAlways
Remain inseparable.
22817
If you are a seekerOf the highest Truth,
Then there shall come a time
When you will no longer remain
A prisoner of your fate.
22818
O my Lord Supreme,Do give me back
Only one thing:
My soul’s vision-eye.
22819
God does not want me to offerMy sad eyes to Heaven’s Light,
But He wants me to open
My happy heart to Heaven’s Light.
22820
Nothing can be more beautifulThan my heart’s gratitude-tears
When I place them at the Feet
Of my Lord Supreme.
22821
It is never too lateTo offer our doubting mind
To our Lord Supreme
For its radical transformation.
22822
What can you expect from surrender?You can expect many things —
Almost everything.
The easiest way
To make your obstacles and hurdles
Fade away
Is to be a constant surrender-will
To the Will of the Supreme.
22823
When we please GodIn His own Way,
God immediately blesses us
With a torrential downpour
Of His Affection,
Sweetness
And Fondness.
22824
A heart and its purityMust always remain
Two inseparable companions.
22825
What we all needIs a doubt-defying
Inner ascent.
22826
Today, like other days,I must not try to fool God
With my insincerity-mind,
Impurity-heart and ingratitude-life.
22827
Self-importance is a gameThat we have played
For a very, very long time.
God-reliance is a new game.
Let us play this game
Forever and forever.
22828
May my heart’s loveAlways burn
Free from self-doubt.
22829
When we powerfully aspire,All our heart’s messages
Kindle a fire
Of inner illumination in us.
22830
My Lord Supreme,Do give me the capacity
To speak only with Your Breath
Inside Your Universal Heart.
22831
Every day is a stepInto the unknown
If we live in the mind.
But every day can be a step
Into the eagerly anticipated
If we live in the heart
Of our self-offering.
22832
He whose mind is wantingIn imagination
Will never be able to succeed
In life.
22833
Of all virtues,Obedience
Will forever remain
Unparalleled.
22834
O mind,Why do you think
That you were made
Only to think?
You were made to aspire.
You were made to offer yourself
Clearly and constantly
To the ocean of the heart.
22835
God uses His Express TrainTo come and meet us
Only when our heart
Is all eagerness
And our mind
Is all willingness
To receive Him.
22836
There are many who would like to beThe keeper of my heart-key.
But I shall accept only
God’s Compassion-Eye
As the keeper of my heart-key.
22837
Only two things we needTo greet God face to face:
A life of ceaseless surrender
And a heart of breathless gratitude.
22838
The “Yes” of my mindIs a powerful choice.
The “Yes” of my heart
Is a beautiful voice.
22839
Each good thought that we cherishComes directly from
God’s Dream-manifesting World.
22840
When we are in the soul’s world,We sing and dance
Not only with our possibility-hopes,
But also with our inevitability-promises.
22841
A God-oneness-heartIs always loved
By Infinity’s Peace
And Immortality’s Bliss.
22842
Unless and until we arriveAt our inner frontiers,
We cannot have abiding peace.
22843
We take great stridesTo fulfil our desires,
But not to overcome
Our ignorance-life.
22844
Mine is the heartThat is always inspired
To go far beyond the domain
Of the limitation-mind.
22845
O noiseless foot of time,Where are you?
My heart is longing to follow you
Lovingly and prayerfully.
22846
It is not so easyTo sit on the wisdom-chair of life
All the time.
But it is definitely possible
To see the divine, only the divine,
In all our actions.
22847
If the doubts of the mindAre close to us,
Then God’s Compassion-Eye to protect us
Is infinitely closer.
22848
When my body runs,My soul jumps,
And my Lord Supreme sings and dances
With enormous Delight.
22849
Let us try to liveIn a oneness-world
So that insecurity and jealousy
Cannot blindfold
Our Heaven-climbing aspiration-eyes.
22850
Alas, we always broadcastOur own achievement-glories,
But we never appreciate,
Admire and extol
The Compassion-Beauty
Of our Beloved Lord’s Eye.
22851
The sweetness-fragranceOf our aspiration-life
And our dedication-life
Will never have a parallel.
22852
If the dreamer in youIs not your soul,
If the lover in you
Is not your heart,
If the sacrificer in you
Is not your life,
Then your ultimate failure
Is destined.
22853
The chains of oneness-loveDo not bind,
But strengthen,
Illumine and fulfil us.
22854
Every day we need a fresh dreamTo enter into
God’s Perfection-Satisfaction-Kingdom.
22855
When we love God prayerfullyIn God’s own Way,
We can fathom the depth
Of the ineffable.
22856
No more teeming problemsWill be able to crowd
Along my life’s path,
For I can clearly see
That a new age of love and promise
Is dawning within me.
22857
Peace never comes to me alone.It comes with either
Its ever-blossoming silence
Or its ever-manifesting delight.
22858
Our Lord SupremeNot only acknowledges
Our surrender smilingly,
But also welcomes it
With boundless joy.
22859
Neither the inner dutyOf God-aspiration,
Nor the outer duty
Of God-dedication
Should be kept waiting.
22860
DisobedienceIs its own failure.
Disobedience
Is its own tragedy.
Plus, disobedience
Is its own total destruction.
22861
You tell meThat God does not love me.
I tell you, “So what?”
You tell me
That God does not need me.
I tell you, “So what?”
God may not love me;
God may not need me.
But do I love God?
Do I need God?
Yes!
Yes!
This is the only thing I want to hear
At every moment
From my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life.
22862
Obedience and peaceBelong to
An affection-flooded family.
22863
For a long timeSpeech was my only teacher.
Now I have a totally new teacher,
Silence,
And this teacher I shall keep
Forever and forever.
22864
True, God’s Justice-LightFrom time to time forgets me,
But never His Compassion-Height.
22865
Each blossoming centuryBegins with a new Hope
From God’s Heart
And a new Promise
From God’s Eye.
22866
Today I am praying to GodTo punish me and my mind severely
If we continue to deceive the world
Around us and within us.
22867
Every day,In the small hours of the morning,
God eagerly waits to hear from my soul
The very latest details
About my body, vital, mind and heart.
22868
I have two hopes:God-realisation-hope
And God-manifestation-hope.
May these two hopes
Never wither.
22869
Sound comes to meFrom the house of the mind.
Silence comes to me
From the home of the soul.
22870
To destroy another’s hopeIs nothing but
An unforgivable crime.
22871
Real satisfactionIs attainable
Only by my oneness-heart
With God’s Will.
22872
I celebrateMy sound-life-victories.
God celebrates
My silence-eye-beauty.
22873
I give God what I have:My questioning mind.
God gives me what He has:
His answering Heart.
22874
He who does not practise spiritualityWill suffer from inner paralysis
Without fail.
22875
My heart’s willingnessAnd my life’s competence
Are found together always.
22876
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye-SmileIs the master key
To every crying heart.
22877
My soul inspires meAnd tells me
Not to be afraid of
The God-Summit-Heights.
22878
There is no heightThat cannot be reached
With our life’s
God-surrender-wings.
22879
God-inspiration-mind,God-aspiration-heart
And God-manifestation-life
Are three inseparable friends.
22880
In the small hours of the morning,My soul awakens
My sleeping God-hunger-heart.
22881
No matter how sweetOur old thoughts are,
They are not powerful enough
To show us a new way
To arrive at our destination.
22882
When my mind tells me God-stories,I fall asleep immediately.
When my heart sings God-songs for me,
I not only remain fully awake,
But also enjoy them immensely.
22883
O heights of superiority-mind,You are indeed worthless and useless!
O abyss of inferiority-life,
You are equally worthless and useless!
22884
Only deep meditationKnows what the deepening silence
Of the Beyond is.
22885
My Lord Supreme tells meThat there is nothing
And there can be nothing
Beyond my heart’s aspiration-reach.
22886
Only a surrender-heartKnows how to breathe in
The freedom of Heaven.
22887
My heart strongly feelsThat my mind’s negativity-death-hour
Will before long strike.
22888
Not only God the CompassionBut also God the Justice
Dearly loves my obedience-heart.
22889
There shall definitely come a dayWhen the beauty and divinity
Of spirituality
Will guide and lead the entire world.
22890
This moment my heart livesIn sorrow-whispers
From below.
The next moment my heart lives
In smile-whispers
From Above.
22891
My God-love-heart-powerHas drastically reduced
My body’s sleep-hour.
22892
Mind-improvementFor God-realisation
Is the most difficult miracle
Of all miracles.
22893
My enthusiasm-mindHas immensely increased
The beauty of my life’s
Aspiration-flames.
22894
Each time I singA God-surrender-song,
My heart dives into
God’s Oneness-Satisfaction-Heart.
22895
Living is nothing short of dyingWhen love for God-Light
Is missing.
22896
O my Lord Supreme,I need only one thing from You:
Do play on my heart-swing
At least five minutes a day!
22897
If you follow GodWith your heart’s devotion-steps,
God will turn around
And bless you
With His Victory’s Fragrance-Garland.
22898
Smile, smile, smileAt your mind
As often as possible.
Your smiling will considerably reduce
Your mind’s tearing tension.
22899
When we offer GodOur purity-heart,
God invites us to come and play
In His beauty-flooded
Heart-Garden.
22900
When God’s Name echoes and re-echoesIn our aspiration-heart
And receptivity-life,
God-realisation does not remain
A far cry.
