Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 62

Return to the table of contents

6101

In life
There are many questions,
But surrender to God’s Will
Is the only answer.

6102

Inseparable oneness means
A game of ignorance-transformation
In human life.

6103

You must never forget
To guard your mind-door
Twenty-four hours a day.

6104

A soulful cry
Embodies a magic wand
That opens every heart.

6105

God appears
To be sleeping,
But He actually
Never sleeps.

6106

Feed your heart
And make it strong
So that it can fight
Against your mind
And grant you
The supreme victory.

6107

You want to be happy?
Then offer to God
Your heart’s permanent invitation.

6108

You can easily escape
Your mind’s insecurity-jungle
Just by knocking
At your heart’s oneness-door.

6109

The fragrance of good thoughts
Will cut a path
Through your temptation-jungle.

6110

Because your mind was occupied
With doubts,
God did not feel it necessary
To illumine your mind.

6111

Just pray and pray!
God is more than ready
To listen
Even to your faint prayers

6112

Love your heart’s wisdom-fire
More and more.
You will be able to kill
Your desire-life.

6113

There are two experiences in life:
Gainful and painful.
My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacity
To be above these two experiences.

6114

His heart’s service-seeds
I saw yesterday.
Today I am seeing
His life’s satisfaction-blossoms.

6115

Be proud
Of your heart’s aptitude.
Your mind’s ineptitude
Will not be able to torment you.

6116

The most difficult thing
In human life
Is to separate sweet expectation
From bitter frustration.

6117

With your desire-life
You wanted to become
Spiritually tall.
It is impossible!
If you want to become
Spiritually tall,
You have to live
The life of aspiration.

6118

What has brought you
To God’s Golden Shore?
Not your capacity,
But your tender trust in God.

6119

If you use your faith-key,
Easily
You will be able to unlock
Heaven’s door.

6120

My criminal mind
Has thrown doubts
Into my entire being.

6121

Self-doubt
Is nothing short of
A seeker’s inner treachery.

6122

At long last
He is anxious to register
For the perfection-course
In his life’s school.

6123

Do not be a victim
To self-pity.
Self-pity is at once
The beginning and the end
Of life’s uselessness.

6124

God is not a dictator.
He is at once
An Inspirer
And a Liberator.

6125

You worship success-idol.
I worship progress-pilgrim.
This is the difference
Between your mind and my heart.

6126

The purity of dream
And the beauty of reality
Always go together
In the life of a true God-lover.

6127

Nothing remains constant
In human life
But our constant desire
To transcend ourselves
So that we can eventually
Become one with God,
Who is both eternally changeless
And constantly changing.

6128

Allow God’s Heart
To announce your victory,
Or you will be forced
By your frustration-vital
To announce your defeat.

6129

I shall launch my new career,
My heart’s sleepless
And unconditionally self-giving career,
Tomorrow.

6130

His is the life
That is sleeplessly longing
To be God-Eternity’s
Perfection-climber.

6131

I am glad that you have had
Your absolutely last
Doubt-destruction-dance.

6132

There are some unfortunate human beings
Who are proud of their doubt-storms.
Alas, they do not know
That God will dissolve their doubt-storms
At His choice Hour.

6133

Why do you allow your vital
To be always on the warpath?
Your vital should be controlled!
You must teach your vital
The song of volcano-determination.

6134

God has already given you a tour
Of His Satisfaction-Heaven.
Now will you not give God a tour
Of your heart’s aspiration-earth?

6135

When are you going to see
That your insecurity-friend
Has robbed you
Totally and unmistakably?

6136

There are two steps
To self-transformation:
I do not know,
And
I know because
My Beloved Supreme teaches me
How to know, what to know
And why to know.

6137

If you live in your heart’s
Humility-valley,
You will easily be able to climb
Your life’s progress-tree.

6138

Feed your mind with your soul’s
Illumination-light-food.
You will be the happiest person
In God’s entire creation.

6139

Self-pity-tears
Are never meant
To please the Protection-Feet
And Satisfaction-Eye
Of God.

6140

If you want to say farewell
To your wild frustration,
Then aspiration-abundance
Should be your real name,
Your only name.

6141

God is never
Going to wipe away
Your stupid self-pity-tears.

6142

The frustration-frowns
Of your vital
Can easily be conquered
By the aspiration-smile
Of your self-giving heart.

6143

In the world of my self
I want to learn only
My humility’s self-giving
Purity-song.

6144

My meditation-life is not
My self-justification-life
On earth.

My meditation-life is
My God-satisfaction-life
Both on earth and in Heaven.

6145

If you do not curtail
Your earthly roamings,
You will not be able to launch
The ship of perfection-light.

6146

I do not feel the presence
Of my purity-heart.
Alas, that means I am not allowed
To live in the paradise of delight
Any more.

6147

One single doubt is enough
To destroy man’s purity-heart
And sincerity-life.

6148

Do you know what actually happens
When you pray soulfully?
When you pray soulfully,
You start resembling
Your Beloved Supreme
More and more.

6149

If your life contains
All artificial ingredients,
God will not be able to bless you
With His Infinity’s natural Blessings.

6150

In the spiritual life
The first-class compartment
Is the compartment of my soul-delight,
And the second-class compartment
Is the compartment of my heart-light.

6151

Let bygones be bygones.
From today on
I shall be the perfect believer
Of God,
And then, before long,
I shall become an unconditional lover
Of God.

6152

If you masquerade as a seeker,
Do you think God the Liberator
Will ever be pleased with you?

6153

With all due respect
To earthly mental giants,
I must say
That I love only
Simple truth-seekers
And God-lovers.

6154

A man of purity
Is the love-river
Of God-Eternity’s
Self-giving Heart.

6155

Why do you not just surrender?
You will see
That a life of surrender
Is the only way
To make you
Perfectly plus permanently happy.

6156

A serious oversight:
My heart of aspiration
Forgot to claim God
As its very own.

6157

Your mental brilliance
Is no match
For your psychic purity.
Remember this once and for all
If you want to succeed
In your spiritual life.

6158

If you want to turn
Your mind’s night
Into your heart’s day,
Then do not pretend to love God,
But live in God persistently
And live for God only.

6159

Do you need an earthly friend?
Don’t mix with your mind’s doubt.
Do you need a heavenly friend?
Then mix with your soul’s
Heavenly promise.

6160

A heart without aspiration
Is without fail
A totally lost voyager.

6161

Mine is the heart
That brought me to God
Even much faster
Than my imagination’s flight.

6162

Look at your stupidity!
How can you surprise God
With your greatness?
Look at your stupidity!
You do not realise
That God is extremely pleased
With the purity, beauty and divinity
Of your goodness.

6163

When you reach the final summit
Of your spiritual heights,
Both your friends and your enemies
Of the past
Will not only admire you
But also claim you
As their very own.

6164

If you want to live
In a gratitude-world,
Then you must free yourself
From the temptation-world.

6165

Unless you avoid
The company of despair,
You will not be able
To accompany
God the Satisfaction-Runner.

6166

It may happen again!
Ignorance may knock you out.
Before it does,
You must become
A spiritual superman.

6167

Someday
Your stupid mind
Will definitely realise
What the inner poverty is.

6168

While you are in deep meditation,
Allow not any undivine thought
To enter into your mind,
For the intensity of that thought
Will be unmistakably unbearable.

6169

Anything good,
I shall do it immediately.
Anything bad,
I shall tell myself, “Tomorrow.”
By the Grace of the Lord Supreme
That tomorrow may never come!

6170

No jealousy, no competition,
But determination
To sing the song of oneness
In the Fulness-Heart-Garden
Of God.

6171

When others become jealous of you,
Be totally indifferent to them.
For cleverly and secretly
They are trying
Only to pull you down
Into their own darkness.

6172

God is the divine Gardener.
Inside each flower-soul
He sees
His own new and unique Beauty.

6173

What is peace?
Peace is to see God’s Beauty.
What is perfection?
Perfection is to live
In God’s Oneness-Home.

6174

How to conquer jealousy?
Always think of God,
The Head of the family.
Will it not pain Him
If one child of His
Becomes jealous of another?

6175

O my ordinary thoughts,
O my undivine, unhealthy
And uncomely thoughts,
During my meditation
If you knock at my mind’s door,
This time I shall not open it,
For I know
That you will only misuse
The power of my meditation
To increase your own power.

6176

We must separate
Our life’s soulful songs
From our mind’s depression-sighs.

6177

God has
A very special Love for you
Because
You use your faith-map
Every day
In your life’s inner journey.

6178

You do not have to worry
About your heart-treasure.
God cheerfully and sleeplessly
Guards it for you.

6179

An unlit mind
Is quite happy to live
Inside the blind limitation-cave.

6180

No amount of information
Will help you
In your spiritual life.

No amount of explanation
Will help you
In your spiritual life.

No amount of elucidation
Will help you
In your spiritual life.

But an iota of aspiration
Is all you need
To be a complete success
In your spiritual life.

6181

If you are ready
To close your mind
When it is needed,
If you are ready
To expose your vital
When it is needed,
Then God will be all ready
To revive your heart
When it is needed.

6182

God’s Satisfaction-Gift
He bestows
Only upon the sincerity
Of the aspiration-heart,
And nowhere else.

6183

You are telling me
That you have nothing to do.
I am telling you
That you have not yet done
At least this particular thing:
You have not built a celestial home
For your Inner Pilot
Deep inside your heart.

6184

Your heart must learn
How to renew soulfully every day
The splendour of your inner wealth.

6185

My Beloved Lord Supreme,
Your Compassion-Eye
Unconditionally gives.
My aspiration-heart
Breathlessly receives.

6186

If you deny your soul’s silence,
You are definitely ignoring
God’s Fragrance-Heart.

6187

The hearts of true
Spiritual brothers and sisters
Together cry,
Together smile
And together live in oneness-home.

6188

I cannot destroy
Your disobedience-night
With anything I have.
No, not even
With my soul’s patience-sun.

6189

This clamouring mind of yours
Has ruined the beauty
Of your heart’s silence.

6190

It is high time
For you to prepare yourself
To listen to God’s Nectar-Melody
On His Flute.

6191

Wherever he goes,
He has the wisdom-illumination
For a large collection
Of aspiration-hearts.

6192

An aspiration-heart
Does not need an outer record,
For its very existence on earth
Is its supreme record.

6193

Unless you become
The renouncer of expectation,
You cannot be
The possessor of peace.

6194

Invoke new confidence
If you want your contribution
To your spiritual life
To be profound.

6195

He is always found
Between his body’s sleep
And his vital’s argument.

6196

His heart is blooming
In full glory
Because it is maintaining
Its glowing purity.

6197

God’s Secrets
Are only for those
Who are God-servers
In man.

6198

We can arrive at perfection’s gate
Only when we work together
Lovingly, untiringly and selflessly.

6199

Can you not see
That your ignorance-family
Has made you blind?
Can you not see
That your ignorance-family
Has made you weak?
Why then do you have to remain
With your ignorance-family?

6200

All calamities have come to an end.
All roads have come to an end.
No more shall I wander through life.
I hear my Lord Supreme
Knocking at my heart’s door.
