Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 44
4301
When God came and told meThat He would make me
A perfect instrument of His,
I shared this good news
With my heart
Immediately.
4302
If you are really afraidOf your dry mind,
Then why do you not offer it
To God’s Compassion-Eye?
He will transform your dry mind
Into His Vastness-Smile
And Calmness-Dance.
4303
My Lord Supreme,Is it too late for me
To please You?
My Lord Supreme,
Is it too late for me
To claim You?
My Lord Supreme,
Is it too late for You
To make me Your choicest instrument?
4304
Do you not knowWhat is wrong with you?
I am telling you
What is wrong with you.
You do not allow God,
Your Inner Pilot,
To whisper in your ear
That you are a choice instrument
Of His.
4305
My earth-bound lifeMay not be certain,
But my self-giving heart
Is certain.
And what else is certain?
My arrival at my God-ordained
Destination
At God’s choice Hour.
4306
My Lord Supreme,My heart-vessel is filled
With Your Love.
What can I have,
What will I have
To fill Your Heart-Vessel?
4307
God-success is attainableOn the strength of the seeker’s
Heart-progress.
4308
God has given you the capacityTo be His Dream-Wave
And kept for Himself the capacity
To be your Satisfaction-Shore.
4309
My seeker-friend,This time do not find fault
With God.
Just give Him a chance,
Only once,
To redesign your life.
4310
You do not have to waitFor earthly fulfilment
To realise God.
To realise God
You do not have to wait
For anything.
Also, do not ask God
To wait for you.
Just keep your heart’s door wide open
And let Him enter.
His Compassion-Presence
Is your earthly and Heavenly fulfilment
All at once.
4311
For me there is no other wayTo reach my goal
Than to claim God secretly
And openly
As my own, very own.
4312
There is only one ruleFor God-realisation:
When God the Referee
Starts the game,
Just play and play and play
And never ask Him when to stop.
If you can play continuously,
Sleeplessly and endlessly
While being observed
By your Beloved Supreme,
Then God-realisation is bound to dawn.
4313
His mind livedWith success-illusion.
His heart lives
Only with progress-illumination.
4314
How can you receiveYour Beloved Supreme
When you have not allowed
Your own heart to receive you?
4315
If you are lostIn your mind-confusion,
Just mention soulfully only once
The Name of your sweetest Lord.
Not only will you come out
Of your mind-confusion,
But also your mind-confusion itself
Will be illumined.
4316
What is temptation?Temptation is something
That unconsciously helps
The divine within us
To conquer the human in us.
4317
You will not be able to countThe number of times
You have delayed your meeting
With your Beloved Supreme.
4318
Do not lock your problem-door.Break asunder your problem-door
By listening to your soul’s
Thunder-silence-voice.
4319
When God came to you,You forgot to ask Him
Where He kept
His Forgiveness-Delight.
Therefore
Today your entire being is miserable.
4320
The idle cannot find God.Therefore, God has to exert
Extra effort
To make the idle dynamic
So that God and they can enjoy
Mutual oneness-pride.
4321
God has sown His Promise-SeedsInside you.
Now He expects you to grow into
Nothing other than
His Satisfaction-Fruits.
4322
Selfless serviceKeeps your faith in God
Sweeter than the sweetest
And makes your oneness-love
With God
Stronger than the strongest.
4323
For years and yearsYou have begged God unconsciously
To fulfil your venom-desires.
Now for a fleeting day
Can you not consciously thank God
That He has not fulfilled
Your venom-desires
Out of His infinite Bounty?
4324
God plays the roleOf the Satisfaction-Emperor
Only when He is able to address
An aspiring audience.
4325
He wants to learn from youHow to become another God,
How to love God
And how to serve Him
Soulfully and unconditionally.
4326
Unless you haveThe willingness to transcend,
How can God grant you
His Satisfaction-Eye?
4327
Alas,Your mind’s ignorance-island
Is surrounded by
Your helpless surrender-sea.
4328
O my heart’s silence-singer, sing!How I wish I could learn
Some God-pleasing songs
From you.
4329
When I played the roleOf a giver,
I did not know what to give
Or how to give.
Now that I am playing the role
Of a taker,
I not only know how to take
But also what to take.
4330
An able manHas confidence enough
To feel that his burdens
Cannot surpass his capacity.
4331
My first mistake wasI did not love God
Unconditionally.
My last mistake was
I did not rectify
My first mistake.
4332
Your mind wantsTo deceive God.
Your heart longs
To receive God.
And you want God
To immortalise you
Either as a sinner or as a saint.
4333
If you have a seeker’s heart,Then it is bound to vouch
For your soul’s victory.
4334
The mind’s hesitationAnd the soul’s illumination
Can never be found together
In the same boat.
4335
I must improve the accuracyOf my heart’s
Soulful aspiration-arrows.
4336
Your mind’s rising doubt-riverMust surrender to your heart’s
Expanding faith-sea.
4337
A humility-hostHas the unparalleled capacity
To soulfully bow
To any guest.
4338
God has keptHis Compassion-Pillow
All ready.
Now where is your head?
Where is it?
4339
His life’s helplessness-cryMelts even
The coldest heart.
4340
Enough!Do not stage any more
Your self-accusation-play.
The world is quite sick of it.
4341
Even God,Not to speak of human beings,
Does not want to walk
On your mind’s slippery path.
4342
Not your naked swordBut your surrender-cries
Will be able to awaken
His heart.
4343
In the spiritual lifeA surrender-life
Is the only source
Of a satisfaction-heart.
4344
If you want to liveUnder God’s Protection-Canopy,
Then destroy the breath
Of your ego-prince.
4345
How is itThat there is such a yawning gulf
Between you
And your heart’s unswerving faith?
4346
You want to knowWhere your gratitude-heart is.
Alas, it has gone to dig
Its own grave.
4347
It is not enoughTo browse in God’s Bookstore.
You must buy at least one book
To illumine your heart.
4348
Who is the real culprit,If not the strangling vital?
Who else,
If not the suspecting vital?
4349
ProsperityHas made my heart beautiful.
Adversity
Is making my life powerful.
4350
You are a real saintIf you do not have the capacity
To delight in others’ despair.
4351
Unless you have totally forgottenYour failure-past,
God is not going to invite you
To dine with Him.
4352
Since your heart knows howTo hear God’s Voice,
Can you not ask your mind, too,
To hear the Voice of God?
4353
How can you expectAnything divine and perfect
From a non-seeker’s sterile life?
4354
The divinityOf a purity-heart
Has always to be sought
And invited.
4355
His is the beautiful life-gardenThat allows no weeds
To grow.
4356
When he dived deep within,He realised
That God’s Silence-Heart
Is nothing other than
God’s Thunder-Voice.
4357
If you want to fly backTo your heart-nest,
Then be a conscious partner
Of your soul-bird.
4358
You want me to tell youWhat kind of sword you need
To slay your ignorance.
I wish to tell you
That you need only one sword,
And that is your heart’s
Mountain-aspiration-cry,
Conscious and constant.
4359
As it was youWho allowed your life
To be infested with delusions,
Even so, it is you
Who can inspire your life
To be flooded with illumination.
4360
To fly the Banner of the Supreme,During the day I shall cry
With the cries of the Unknown
And at night I shall smile
With the smiles of the Unknowable.
4361
His vision-eyeLeaves nothing unseen.
His compassion-heart
Leaves nothing untouched.
His forgiveness-oneness
Leaves nothing unillumined.
4362
The other day my Beloved SupremeTold me in secret
That when He put me on earth,
It was for His Amusement,
And when He puts me in Heaven,
It will be for His Enchantment.
4363
The strength of dissatisfactionCannot be measured.
It defies everything inspiring,
Aspiring and illumining.
4364
The joy of the heartAnd the willingness of life
Shall eternally remain inseparable.
4365
The outer failureQuite often embodies
The beauty of inner fulfilment-necessities.
4366
O seeker-friend of mine,Pray daily, meditate daily.
Otherwise, you are bound to develop
A confidence-shattering fear
Deep inside you
That God-realisation
Is not meant for you.
4367
You have come to tell GodThat you are going to love Him.
God says to you,
“My son, if you have the capacity
To love Me,
Then I have the capacity
To follow you.”
4368
I can easily dare to imagineEverything in God’s entire creation,
But I am always afraid of imagining
Only one thing:
That God is really pleased with me.
4369
If you have a mind,Then make it fertile.
If you have a fertile mind,
Then make it fertile
With something totally new:
God’s God-Will.
4370
Time and againI have seen my heart’s sorrow
Serving my Beloved Supreme
Far beyond my imagination’s flight.
4371
He who has God’s Satisfaction-HeartAlready has God’s Compassion-Eye
As well.
4372
No starEver wants to blossom
In your mind’s
Tenebrous ego-sky.
4373
Do not worry!God Himself
Will keep a flawless record
Of your self-transcendence-cries.
4374
I am learning somethingMost important about delight.
Delight is the unparalleled
Transcendental Beauty
Of God’s Satisfaction-Heart.
4375
What God teaches you,You have to prove to God
That you have learnt.
4376
God needs you.Therefore, He has forgotten
Everything else.
You want God.
Therefore, you have to forget
Everything else.
4377
Do you seeWhat you are becoming?
You are undoubtedly becoming
Happier today
Than you were
The day before yesterday.
4378
The Love-Sea of our Beloved SupremeInvites all soulful seekers.
What for?
To swim sleeplessly,
Not to sink immediately.
4379
Do you not thinkIt is high time for you
To worship another God
Than your ego-god?
4380
You want to please GodIn His own Way,
But you do not know how.
But do you not think
That God will give you
The capacity,
Since He has already given you
The aspiration
To please Him in His own Way?
4381
You are such a fool!You are devoting your life to the God
That you do not want to become
Instead of to the God
That you actually want to become.
4382
Each God-beginningMarks not a man-end
But God’s Self-Transcendence.
4383
If you are desperateTo realise God,
No, not even the most powerful titan
Can keep you separate
From God’s Oneness-Smile
And Satisfaction-Dance.
4384
A silence-seekerNeeds only the fragrance
Of his own self-giving heart
To enter the Heart-Garden
Of his Beloved Supreme.
4385
If you are a soulful seekerAnd if you enjoy wishful thinking,
Then God loves you powerfully
Along with your wishful God-thinking.
4386
You commit Himalayan blundersAlmost every day.
But when God’s swift Justice-Blow
Is upon you,
You do not want to accept it
As His Compassion-Touch.
Today’s Justice-Blow of God
Is tomorrow’s Illumination-Touch
For you.
4387
You want to represent God,But are you sure that God wants
To present you to the world
As His choice gift?
4388
In my life-houseI have quite a few rooms
To live in,
But God wants to live with me
Only in my heart-room.
4389
To misuse God’sCompassion-Smiles
Is to lose them
Forever.
4390
A life of successYou have been.
Can you not prepare yourself
To be a heart of progress?
4391
You want to knowWhat you should desire from God.
I am telling you to ask God
To free you from your desire-slavery.
4392
You are miserableBecause you have
Deliberately abandoned
Your heart-child.
4393
Before, he beggedFor satisfaction-alms.
Now he is ready to be satisfied
Simply with aspiration-alms.
4394
To see a doubt-free mindHe is prepared to go
To the farthest part
Of the world.
4395
Not where I meet GodBut when I meet God
Is of supreme importance
To me.
4396
How can you fail GodWhen He Himself wants you to be
A passenger
In His Heart-Boat?
4397
Disobedience,The deadliest weapon,
Has destroyed the human in him
And ignored the divine in him.
4398
If you disown your doubt-sky,Then God will help you own
Your faith-sun.
4399
Every dayMy soul sings God-songs
For me and my heart,
And we are measurelessly enlightened
By them.
4400
My Lord Supreme,I have not realised You,
I may not realise You
In this lifetime.
But will You not do me
A big favour?
Will You not give me the capacity
To love You,
Only love You, only love You?
