Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 231
23001
Check your aspiration-pulseEarly in the morning.
Check your dedication-pulse
At noon.
Check your surrender-pulse
In the evening.
23002
You are unhappyBecause your heart
Is contradicting
Your eyes.
23003
If you haveA time-squandering mind,
Yours will be a life
Of most deplorable dissatisfaction.
23004
God likesMany things I do,
But He especially likes
Our silence-heart-conversation.
23005
TodayI have come to learn
That my mind’s insincerity
And my heart’s insecurity
Have a common source:
Self-deception.
23006
Everything else is complicatedIn our human life
Save and except the beauty of Light
And the fragrance of Delight.
23007
Each day’s deathMakes the desire-mind
And the aspiration-heart
Equally unhappy.
23008
The final hour of ignorance-nightDoes not come on its own.
We work towards it
And then announce it.
23009
Let us be prepared to welcomeThe fast-approaching promise-blossoms
Of a new century.
23010
TodayI told my bragging mind
That it was sending me
To the mental asylum,
And I told my lagging heart
That it was forcing me
To be a helpless street-beggar.
23011
My God-surrender-lifeIs
My Heaven-entrance-assurance.
23012
When I am inMy highest consciousness,
Everything feels like God
To me.
23013
I do my highest meditationOnly when my soul
Unconditionally smiles at me.
23014
My Lord,Do come and confiscate
My mind today.
And tomorrow
Obliterate it totally.
23015
I want to tell GodOnce more
How great I am.
God wants to hear from me
Once more
That I need the breath
Of surrender-life.
23016
Alas,You have no aspiration.
Yet
Your mind is ever rich
In expectation.
23017
My Lord’s Eyes becomeA Beauty-Fragrance-Garland
When I claim God
As my very own.
23018
A God-offering heartCan neither be daunted
Nor haunted.
23019
A heart of sorrowComes into existence
From desire-tragedies
Of the past.
23020
At timesGod lives inside
My determination-mind.
At times
God lives inside
My dedication-life.
But I would like
God to be always inside
My aspiration-heart.
23021
O seeker,Are you such a fool
That you have to allow
The negative forces
To admire and choose
Your mind?
23022
O my soul,To you I owe everything,
For constantly
You are inspiring
My very life-breath.
23023
A self-giving heartIs a God-fulfilling
Earth-representative.
23024
Alas, my mind weepsA river of tears
When my desire-life
Is not daily fulfilled.
23025
My vital longs to liveTo enjoy its world-supremacy
Indefinitely on earth.
My heart wants to live
To enjoy its God-intimacy
Permanently on earth.
23026
Today,Alas, I have given God
A severe headache
By telling Him that my spiritual life
Has sadly failed.
23027
A cheerful and eagerGod-surrender-heart
Has the fastest speed
To arrive at the God-Destination.
23028
When the aspiring heartIs misunderstood,
The seeker’s breath
Will automatically be tormented.
23029
How can you be happyWhen none of your deeds
Mirror any of your soul-dreams?
23030
God at timesDeliberately hides from us
To create in us
Our God-discovery-hunger.
23031
God is always anxious and eagerTo shorten the distance
To our journey’s goal.
23032
TodayMy doubtful mind and I
Were forced to wade through
A great deal of misery
For ignoring God’s Compassion-Eye.
23033
Since God isA good listener,
Can I not be
A great speaker?
23034
Today,From my God-disobedience,
God has suffered the most powerful blow.
23035
My mind learns earthly lessonsQuickly.
My heart learns Heavenly lessons
Self-givingly.
My soul learns both earthly
And Heavenly lessons
Intuitively.
23036
As God does not allow any thoughtTo enter into His Mind unbidden,
Even so,
I shall not associate myself
With any unaspiring thought.
23037
Today, alas,I have become the dying breath
Of my shattered hopes.
23038
God criesFor a dependable man.
Man cries
For an understandable God.
God cries
For an inseparable man.
Man cries
For a lovable God.
23039
TodayGod-unbelieving minds
Are bound to be devastated
By their own ignorance-volcano.
23040
Before the ultimate God-realisation,Everybody thinks and feels
That God is unknowable.
23041
The age of God-obedience will beginWhen we realise
That God’s Way is the only way.
23042
Today, alas,My negativity-mind
Is destroying
My aspiration-heart-garden.
23043
O seeker,Do not feel that you are
Doomed to disappointment.
Your failure-breath
Before long will vanish.
Wake up!
Make a fresh attempt.
Victory’s crown is awaiting you.
23044
God tells the human mindThat it is hard for Him
To keep it in His Heart-Garden.
23045
TodayI seriously warned
My unaspiring mind
That there are
Destructive sufferings ahead.
23046
My heart-hotelHas no vacancy,
For God remains there always
As a permanent Guest.
23047
TodayGod is saddened to discover
That I have buried
All my God-realisation-hope
Consciously and deliberately.
23048
For a God-lover,A miserable day is the day
When he fails to please God
In His own Way.
23049
I do not care forA precious mind,
But I do care for
A gracious heart.
23050
O seeker,Pray to God to bless you
With a purity-heart-flower
That will never wither.
23051
My Lord,Do tell me how many times
My mind has deceived You
And how many times
My heart has disappointed You.
23052
TodayMost painfully I have come to learn
That no matter how hard I try,
My mind’s dark riddles
Will remain unsolved.
23053
God is every day countingMy God-pleasing deeds.
Therefore,
I must be sleeplessly careful
In all that I say and do.
23054
TodayI have asked my mind
Whether it has accepted its desire-slavery
Happily or unhappily.
23055
The eyes of a God-loving seekerAre the perfect expression
Of his all-embracing heart.
23056
Even the devilWas shocked to see him
After his own aspiration
Had deserted him.
23057
TodayI am absolutely certain
That my God-disobedience-footsteps
Will not only falter,
But also meet with a serious accident
And severe punishment.
23058
A purity-heartHas the capacity
To shield us
From the mind’s doubt-storm.
23059
At long last,Today I made
My Lord Beloved Supreme
Happy
With my heart’s
Climbing cries
And my life’s
Brightening smiles.
23060
TodayGod’s Compassion-Eye
Sees that I am an aspiration-dwarf.
Therefore, God’s Compassion-Eye
Does not want God to be
A Self-Transcendence-Giant.
23061
I do have faithIn God’s Compassion.
But alas, I need faith
In God’s Patience.
23062
Only my heart’s sleepless tearsCan keep my mind
Out of ignorance-prison.
23063
Today,Alas, God has confided in my soul
That He is not satisfied
With my heart’s aspiration-homework.
23064
If you are shoppingIn the desire-market,
Nobody will flatter you.
On the contrary,
The cosmic gods may batter you.
23065
God the TeacherIs always eager
To give you the highest marks
In your soul’s fastest progress
And your heart’s highest evolution.
23066
If you want to liveIn God’s Heart-Nest,
Then you have to be
Devoted and faithful
To His Heart-Nest.
23067
If all our good qualitiesAre traced to one source,
That source is undoubtedly
Obedience.
23068
Claim God’s VisionAs your own, very own,
Since you want to bask
In God’s Vision-Glories.
23069
Your impurity-mindWill never be able to blight
God’s Compassion-Eye-Delight.
23070
Because of your soul’s promiseTo God’s Eye,
And because of your heart’s promise
To God’s Heart,
God has accepted the challenge
Of transforming your life.
23071
Think only of others’Good, divine and self-giving qualities
To stay inside God’s Heart-Garden,
Instead of your own mind-jungle.
23072
Gossip-mongers, beware!Today you are enjoying
Malicious pleasure-gossip
But tomorrow you may become
The most deplorable gossip-victim.
23073
The Absolute Lord SupremeIs only for those
Who are sleeplessly singing God-songs
In God’s own Way
And carrying only His Tune.
23074
My life was built onMy soul’s promise.
My life is now being built on
My heart’s hope.
My life shall be built on
God’s Smile.
23075
Although I am losing badlyOn the battlefield of life,
I am absolutely sure
That I shall ultimately
Sound my victory-drum.
23076
If you want to remain alwaysIn your heart-garden,
God will be there with you,
Full of Gratitude and Pride.
23077
GratitudeIs my aspiration-heart’s
Only unfailing God-searchlight.
23078
Do not forgetThat inside your mind
Is your life’s imperfection-lock,
And inside your aspiration-heart
Is the key.
23079
A spiritual MasterHas a life of beauty
And a heart of fragrance
To transform
Your earth-bound life
Into a Heaven-free life.
23080
“Humanity’sGod-Gratitude-Heart-Tears and Smiles”
Is the only book that God has written
So far.
23081
The human in meHas only one request
For God:
“My Lord, do tell me how good I am.”
23082
Mine is the self-giving heartThat thrills
At the sacred and secret whispers
Of my Lord Supreme.
23083
Only a God-surrender-heartEnjoys the safest haven
On earth.
23084
My restless mindNeeds a slower speed,
And my selfless heart
Needs a faster speed
To arrive at God’s Heart-Home.
23085
True,I cannot consciously converse with God,
But my heart’s silence-tears
At every moment speak with God.
23086
Although the human in meIs a poor listener,
My Lord Supreme never stops
Speaking and advising.
23087
My Lord SupremeBlessingfully offered me many special things.
But to my sorrow, the human in me
Politely declined everything,
And the animal in me
Vehemently rejected everything.
23088
I am so fortunateThat God the Compassion,
Not God the Justice,
Checks my aspiration-pulse
Every morning and every evening.
23089
Because my Lord SupremeIs pleased with me,
My mind is rich in hope
And my heart is rich in promise.
23090
My Lord Supreme,Do tell me what I am supposed to do
When I feel unloved.
“My child, you and I are in the same boat.
Do not worry.
Our boat will one day definitely reach
The destination: Love infinite.”
23091
O my time-squandering mind,Can you not see that I dislike you
Immensely?
Because of you I have lost
Many God-fulfilling opportunities.
23092
When I live in my heart-garden,I see everywhere
God-Beauty’s Eye
And God-Prosperity’s Heart.
23093
God can and shallDo everything for you
If you just allow Him
To play on your heart-strings.
23094
I have come to realiseThat my sleepless God-obedience
Is my endless God-Delight.
23095
God allows onlyA gratitude-flooded heart
To claim Him unreservedly.
23096
Each beautiful flowerIs indeed a lovely letter
From God Himself
To mankind.
23097
O my Lord Supreme,Your fleeting Smiles
Immediately inspire
My very life-breath.
23098
O my stupidity-mind,You and nobody else
Will choose negative, hostile forces
To fulfil you.
23099
I feel I am perfect and satisfiedOnly when I awaken
My sleeping God-hunger.
23100
My Lord,I pray to You today
For a series of boons:
Do not fulfil my physical desires.
Do not fulfil my vital desires.
Do not fulfil my mental desires.
Do not fulfil my psychic desires,
For even my heart
Countless times desires wrong things.
Only fulfil the longings of my soul,
Which will never ask You
For what is uninspiring,
Unaspiring, unillumining
Or unfulfilling.
