Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 243

Return to the table of contents

24201

God’s Will
Sings and dances
Only in an obedience-heart.

24202

My heart-dreams
Are flooded
With celestial smiles.

24203

I shall pave my gratitude-heart-road
With my prayerful
And soulful tears.

24204

God-disobedience
Empties spirituality
Of its richness.

24205

Time and again
God has proved to us
That Forgiveness He has made
As His own iron Law.

24206

Everything has to be attempted
At God’s choice Hour,
And everything has to be accomplished
At God’s choice Hour
In the world of spirituality.

24207

My soul every day
Patrols my heart-highway.
Therefore, I see no collisions.

24208

O my mind,
Why do you visit
So frequently
Suspicion-town?

24209

When we have
A free access to inner realities,
We see that for every negative
There is, indeed, a positive.

24210

Because a special Grace has descended
From Above,
At long last I am able to compel
My absurdly overactive mind
To leave me.

24211

Unfortunately
Each human being
Lives somewhere between
His highest height
And his lowest depth.

24212

Every morning I prayerfully
And soulfully meditate
So that I do not descend
From my highest summit
To the abysmal abyss.

24213

There is not a single ego
That will not eventually
Become a victim to ridicule.

24214

When our heart
Has abundant receptivity,
We see how proudly
God extols our life
To the skies.

24215

What is a soulful smile?
A soulful smile
Is the inexhaustible Power
Of God Himself.

24216

Because I have developed
Implicit faith in God’s Grace,
At last I have dethroned
My life’s deception-king:
Doubt.

24217

When we dive deep within,
God blesses us
With a free access
To the sunlit eye of our soul.

24218

Nothing can be as divine,
As supreme, as perfect
As the heart-fragrance
Of Mother Earth.

24219

When we are in the desire-world,
We enjoy earth-bound pleasures.
When we are in the aspiration-world,
We enjoy Heaven-free Nectar-Delight.

24220

A genuine truth-seeker
Is automatically
A certified and qualified God-lover.

24221

My unending surrender
Is my escalator
To my Lord’s Delight-Floor.

24222

Do not play in your jungle-mind.
Play in your heart-garden
If you want to swim
In the river of ecstasy.

24223

The impurity of the vital,
The jealousy of the mind
And the insecurity of the heart
Are three eternal fools in us.

24224

Outer trust
Is, indeed, a clumsy substitute
For inner faith.

24225

How I wish
My life to be a leaf
Driven by my Lord’s own Breath.

24226

Unlike us,
God thinks His creation is perfect.
But He wants to make His creation
Even more perfect.

24227

What God dislikes
More than anything else
Is my constant
Unwillingness-mind.

24228

We can easily climb up
To ecstasy’s height
If God-obedience
Is always at our disposal.

24229

My cheerful obedience
Unmistakably inspires
My Lord Supreme.

24230

Every day
My aspiration-heart
Remains nestled
In the foothills
Of my Lord’s universal Will.

24231

Earth-evolution is far from finished.
Therefore
There is no need for us
To be doomed to disappointment.

24232

My aspiration-life
Pleases God.
My desire-life
Amuses God.

24233

God tries to lead man
Compassionately.
Man tries to mislead God
Cleverly.

24234

A reasoning mind
Can never be the last word
In our aspiration-world.

24235

Every day
God gives us not only the capacity
But also the opportunity
To live in the magnetic field of faith.

24236

My surrender-heart-choice
Is by far the best choice
That I have ever made.

24237

We are bound to succeed
In the battlefield of life
If we have zero tolerance
For self-doubt.

24238

God is truly proud of me
When I show Him
Even an iota of satisfaction
In my mind.

24239

God blesses our hearts
With satisfaction-certificates
When we become the possessor
Of adamantine determination.

24240

My mind is no longer
Knee-deep in doubt.
Why?
Because my life has become
A manifestation of God’s
Celestial Dream.

24241

My heart-home
Is full of sweet dreams.
My mind-house
Is full of painful realities.

24242

O hope-pillar of my heart,
I need you
To hold up my world of suffering.

24243

Alas, I do not know
How I can stop
The chattering of my mind-machine!

24244

If we do not cast ourselves
Entirely upon the Grace
Of our Lord Beloved Supreme,
How can we ever hope to succeed
In the battlefield of life?

24245

Even the tiniest of hopes
Can show me the way
To arrive at my goal.

24246

Is there anything more beautiful
And more fruitful than faith?
No, absolutely no!

24247

Every obedience-moment
Is a forward step
Towards my ultimate Goal.

24248

There are many defeats
In our outer life
That are definitely more fruitful
Than victories,
Especially in the inner world.

24249

Happiness is the heart
Of everything that we aspire for.
A divine child of God
Is everything that we aspire to become.

24250

To win life’s ultimate race,
What we need
Is only endurance and patience.

24251

Jealousy is totally destructive.
It even destroys itself
Before we can illumine it.

24252

Today at long last
I have opened my God-awareness,
God-readiness and God-eagerness
Floodgates.

24253

This world is bound to succeed
If all human beings
Share their God-manifestation-enthusiasm.

24254

Spirituality is, indeed, a long journey.
We must enjoy the journey
If we want to succeed.

24255

Everything changes,
And yet nothing changes:
This is what we notice
In our day-to-day outer life.

24256

There is no destructive disease
Like self-doubt.
Again, there is no effective medicine
Like God-acceptance.

24257

What is negativity?
It is something
That consciously and deliberately
Drains our mind’s energy.

24258

There is no little enemy!
Any enemy can destroy us
If we are not well-protected
By the Grace of our Lord Supreme.

24259

To dissolve hostility,
At every moment
We must remain
At the Feet of Divinity.

24260

God’s Compassion
Every day gathers us
And lifts us up
To see our own highest heights.

24261

Gratitude perfumes
Our inner life.
Confidence perfumes
Our outer life.

24262

Every day I pray to God
To come and tame my monkey-mind
With His own Hand.

24263

The most ancient, sanctified
And hallowed of shrines
Is our constant dream
Of surrender to God’s Will.

24264

If we have God-obedience,
Then we can easily ascend
God’s highest Satisfaction-Ladder.

24265

If we have God-obedience,
Then we can easily protect ourselves
Against the mind’s absurdities.

24266

When we have
Sleepless and breathless God-obedience,
God moves us
From our mind-room to our heart-palace.

24267

God is constantly seeking
A trustworthy friend.
Are you ready?
If not, when are you going to be ready?

24268

Every morning I pray to God
Only for one thing:
Just to protect the tears
Of my heart-shrine.

24269

He who surrenders
To ignorance-invasion
Will never be able to become
A self-discoverer.

24270

I shall never allow
Hesitation and uncertainty
To linger inside
My heart’s breath.

24271

Self-pity has an extraordinary capacity.
It can easily drown
Our aspiration-heart’s rising sun.

24272

Alas, when the dawn appears,
Where are my sweet dreams
Of the night?
Where do they disappear, where?

24273

Others may find the spiritual life
To be nothing short of
Mental torture.
But for me, the spiritual life
Is nothing short of
Inner and psychic rapture.

24274

My oneness-meditation-extension
Has pleased my Lord Beloved Supreme
Infinitely more
Than I could have ever imagined.

24275

Not a competition-prayer-race
But an illumination-prayer-race
With myself
Is what I need.

24276

My illumining soul
Is the call,
And my aspiring heart
Is the answer.

24277

God’s Universal Consciousness
Is the birthplace
Of God’s ever-manifesting Will.

24278

As God’s Compassion-Eye
Is approachable,
Even so, God’s Forgiveness-Feet
Are adorable.

24279

Everything may retire
Or will retire,
But not the Tolerance
Of our Lord Supreme.

24280

There will always remain
An astronomical distance
Between our mind’s doubtful way
And God’s blessingful Way.

24281

The eagerness of the aspiring heart
And the enthusiasm of the searching mind
Shall forever remain pioneers
In our Godward journey.

24282

I am eagerly waiting
For the hour of negativity’s death
In my mind.

24283

God’s own highest accomplishments
Will come
When humanity as a whole can say
Sincerely, soulfully and unconditionally:
“God for God’s sake!”

24284

I have three immortal friends:
The simplicity of my life,
The beauty of my heart
And the divinity of my soul.

24285

If you want to succeed
In your outer life
And proceed in your inner life
Every day,
Then stay always in touch
With your soul-divinity.

24286

The doubting mind believes
Only in endless complaints.
The aspiring heart believes
Only in world-inspiring compliments.

24287

The first-class student
In God’s illumination-school
Is he who cries in the inner world
For ever-increasing gratitude
And in the outer world
For ever-increasing surrender.

24288

What is transforming me
And my mind
If not God’s constant Compassion-Tears!

24289

If you live in the mind,
Problems will always remain,
For the mind is where problems begin.

24290

My ingratitude-jungle-mind
Has become almost unrecognisable
To God.

24291

Alas, we do not realise
What we are doing.
We are crying for more desires
Instead of crying
For more aspiration.

24292

If we accept
The life of unreserved surrender,
Then God will make us
Universal ambassadors of divine love.

24293

Every evening
My Lord Supreme counts
The tears of my heart,
And I count
The Smiles of His Eye.

24294

He who cries sincerely
For a flower-heart
Receives a flower-garden
From God’s own Heart.

24295

Although God is all-where,
He feels lonely
When our hearts
Are not with Him,
With their aspiration-tear-cries.

24296

Disappointment-detachment-life
Expedites our spiritual journey
Far beyond our imagination.

24297

Each time God fulfils
Our earth-bound desires,
We are compelled to enter into
Dissatisfaction-prison.

24298

Today I have opened wide
My mind-cage
To allow the doubt-vulture
To fly away.
Therefore, I am swimming
In the sea of ecstasy.

24299

If happiness exists on earth,
Then it will be found
Only in one divine virtue:
Forgiveness.

24300

May my mind
Be sleeplessly devoted
To only one thing:
God’s constant Satisfaction-Smile.
