Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 74

7301

Do not delay!
Do not delay!
Receive your Beloved Supreme
With all your heart
Immediately.

7302

If you love God-language,
Then destroy the breath
Of ignorance-bondage.

7303

The blue sky
Promises firmly.
The green earth
Executes correctly.

7304

You are telling me
That you have nothing to do.
I am asking you
To do only one thing:
Break
As soon as possible
Your appointment with temptation!

7305

Earth knows
How to revolve.
Man knows
How to resolve.
Aspiration knows
How to evolve.

7306

Yesterday
Could not come with you.
Tomorrow
Cannot come to you.
Therefore
Try to live in today’s Eternity.

7307

The doubtful mind comes
With what it has:
Frustration.
The soulful heart comes
With what it is:
Satisfaction.

7308

For one moment of glory’s fame
You have tortured your life
Far beyond your imagination-flight.

7309

O ignorance-lover,
Indeed, you are a flower
With no beauty’s touch
And no purity’s breath.

7310

His mind counts the things
That it has done for mankind.
But his heart prays to God
To give him the capacity
To do the things that count.

7311

What does my Lord do
When He is off duty?
He meditates only on one thing:
A totally new satisfaction-world.

7312

Alas,
The animal-touch
Of your mind’s doubts
Has destroyed the beauty and purity
Of your life-tree.

7313

You fool!
Can you not see
That knowingly and deliberately
You have walked into
A dangerous temptation-trap?

7314

The mind’s clever lies
Can never deceive
The heart’s wise awareness
Of truth.

7315

Let God now navigate
Your life’s hopeful dream-boat.
He will put your failure-past
Far behind you.

7316

Like God,
You must not waste any time.
Like God’s,
Your aspiration-life must not have
Any retirement plan.

7317

If it is true
That God is invisible,
Then it is true only for
The consciously blind human beings.

7318

It is not a secret life
But a sacred heart
That can and will save
The entire world.

7319

Since silence
Is your sole companion,
Your God-union-day
Is fast approaching.

7320

For God
Everything is easy
Except one thing:
Making your closed heart
Open willingly.

7321

If your heart can become
The willingness,
God’s Eye will give you
The readiness
And God’s Heart will give you
His Fulness.

7322

Look!
Look!
Your Beloved Supreme is showing you
How to climb up
Your aspiration-staircase
To reach easily
The goal of the Beyond.

7323

God wants to feel
The sunlight inside your heart.
Can you not invite Him
And show Him that you are already
The possessor of an all-illumining sunrise?

7324

God’s universal Message:
I love the beauty
Of man’s heart.
I need the purity
Of man’s life.

7325

Fulfilment you long for?
Then hesitation
Why do you care for?

7326

In the morning
Your Beloved Supreme comes to you
With His Illumination.

In the afternoon
He comes to you
With His Compassion.

In the evening
He comes to you
With His Forgiveness.

7327

If you love God soulfully,
God will definitely give you the capacity
To untie your mind’s doubt-knot.

7328

You are telling me
You love God most intensely.
If so, then prove it
By not singing
With the prince of ignorance
And not dancing
With the king of ignorance.

7329

To delay in responding
To God’s Compassion-Light
Is almost like refusing
God’s Love.
To refuse God’s Love
Is not only to feed
One’s human desire-life,
But also to destroy
One’s divine aspiration-life.

7330

There is only one place
That is safe and perfect
And that place is
The Heart-Garden of God.

7331

The Golden Boat
Will not reach the Golden Shore
Empty.
Never!
The Pilot Supreme will carry
Blessingfully and proudly
Only those who will forever remain
Faithful, devoted and surrendered
To His Will transcendental.

7332

To disobey God
Is to feed the animal in us,
Starve the human in us
And delay the divine in us.

7333

If you have physical pain, disdain!
If you have vital pain, disdain!
If you have mental pain, disdain!
But if you have psychic pain,
Then try to gain
As much as possible from it.

7334

O my heart,
While you were out with the mind,
God came
And left a message for you:
“Be careful, heart!
You will be in very serious danger.”

7335

Give God the original:
The soulful cry of your heart.
Do not give God the copy:
The wild frown of your vital.

7336

The duty of a spiritual Master
Is to teach the disciple
How to love God unconditionally,
Not how to receive love
From God cleverly.

7337

You are your life’s
Attachment-bondage.
Therefore, victory’s sweetness
And God’s Completeness
Can never be yours.

7338

Your sincere willingness
Is itself a tremendous increase
In your inner and outer capacities.

7339

Purity at any price
In your inner life,
Sincerity at any price
In your outer life.
Then perfection will claim you
As its very own.

7340

God’s Compassion-Eye
Owns my life
And just rents it to me
At a very cheap rate.

7341

Do you want to know
What you should wear
When you go to visit God?
You should wear
A gratitude-garment that covers
The entire length and breadth
Of your body.

7342

If you have a heart
Rich in divinity,
If you have a mind
Rich in sincerity,
And if you have a life
Rich in purity,
Then God will visit you
Long before you actually invoke
His Presence.

7343

Sorrows seized my heart
When I discovered
That I had been living
In a foreign land:
My suspicion-mind.

7344

If you are determined to be loyal
To your Inner Pilot,
Then He is more than ready
To help you discover
Your royal life.

7345

If you do not have perfect faith
In your own aspiration,
No harm.
Start, at least, with your imperfect faith.
There shall come a time
When your imperfect faith
Will be transformed into perfect faith
By God’s Compassion-Eye.

7346

Greatness wants to live
By itself.
It does succeed
In a very peculiar way.

Goodness wants to live
With all,
And it succeeds
In a very fruitful way.

7347

His heart’s constant inner occupation
Is to offer purity-sanctified thoughts
To the four corners of the world.

7348

How can you ever succeed
With your heart’s waning faith
And your mind’s strangling thoughts?

7349

Why am I so fond of you?
I am so fond of you
Because you are a traveller
Like me
In the transformation-train.

7350

You want me to help you
In God-realisation?
Certainly I can!
But before that,
You have to tell me
That you will have nothing to do
With your mind’s confusion-circles.

7351

Your heart’s soulful purity
Is a free pass
To both God’s Palace
And man’s cottage.

7352

God has come to you
With the solutions.
But alas,
You do not want to give Him
All your problems.

7353

You cannot
Unconditionally love God
And vehemently dislike man
At the same time.

7354

God’s Heart is all for you
Not because
You know so much
But because
You do care for humanity.

7355

Even a small wave
Of aspiration-cry
Can carry you
To the Golden Shore
Of the Beyond.

7356

Dimness clouds his mind,
Darkness clouds his vital,
But soulfulness illumines his heart.

7357

Devour your anxieties!
God’s Happiness and your happiness
Will fly together in oneness-sky.

7358

What your heart has
Is false faith.
What your mind has
Is false longing.
What you have
Is false promise.

7359

My success depends on
How much I know.
My progress depends on
How much I care for God.

7360

Your mind is ready to show you
Your immediate grave.
Your heart is eager to show you
Your ultimate God-Garden.

7361

Your life’s perfection-smile
Must precede
Your heart’s satisfaction-dance.

7362

His mind’s prosperous pride
And his life’s tremendous bankruptcy
Have destroyed
The beauty of his soul-garden.

7363

God has always been playing
His Role
By waiting for you.
Can you not play your role
By arriving at God’s Heart-Door
On time?

7364

Desire less.
You will have more
Every day,
At every moment.

7365

I do believe it
When my sleeping heart tells me
That every day it enjoys hearing
God’s earth-transforming Songs.

7366

His heart’s surrender-dawn
Has blossomed
Into his life’s perfection-sun.

7367

Every day
I pray to God
To use my heart
And not to fulfil my mind.

7368

A heart of happiness
Has a free access
To God’s secret and sacred Chamber.

7369

What you need
Is a ceaseless smile
From your heart
To measure the length
Of your life’s progress.

7370

His mother tongue
Is the all-illumining
Silence-light.
Therefore, he does not have to learn
The language of darkening
Frustration-night.

7371

Heaven will immediately declare
A joy day
The moment it sees
That you have acquired
Peace of mind.

7372

Pray to God
And meditate on God
Every day
To use you in His own Way
So that He does not see you
As one of the countless
Useless human lives.

7373

My Lord Supreme,
Do tell me
Why I have lost
My aspiration-heart’s
Willingness-smile?

7374

How can your barren mind
And joyless heart
Ever feel God
In each and every life-experience
Of yours?

7375

If you are a God-seeker,
Then even your rare unwillingness
To accept God’s Will
As your own
Will steal away
Your peace of mind.

7376

The song of silence-light
Illumines the entire existence
Of ignorance-night.

7377

Selfless service
Is another name for the love
Visible in humanity’s heart.

7378

God’s latest achievement:
My unconditional surrender
To His Will.

7379

On principle
He does not live in the past,
For it is not only a foreign
But also a strange country.

7380

He specialises in telling the world
That it will never be destroyed,
For how can God the Omnipotent Vision
Be destroyed
By man the feeble temptation?

7381

Once God becomes real to you,
Immediately free yourself
From the tentacles of desire-life!

7382

You think
That you are the doer.
But God knows
That He is your Employer.

7383

Congratulations!
The animal in you
Has lost;
The divine for you
Has won.

7384

My seeker-friend,
Nobody can force you
To be tangled in insecurity-net.
Nobody!

7385

Fear feeds his mind.
Frustration feeds his vital.
Therefore
He and his life are totally lost.

7386

God’s glowing Compassion-Eye
Silenced his mind’s
Roaring doubts.

7387

God’s Power tells me
There is no such thing
As bigness.

God’s Heart tells me
There is no such thing
As greatness.

God’s Love tells me
There is no such thing
As smallness.

7388

If you do not run
As fast as your heart,
Your mind will not only overtake you
But will also mislead you.

7389

His life is caught
In between
His mind’s question mark
And his heart’s permanent full stop.

7390

Your ignorance has given you
A stupid lesson:
That you can outrun
Your ignorance-shadow.

7391

In God’s Compassion-flooded
Vision-Kingdom
No wastebasket is to be found,
For everything is valuable there.

7392

God is telling your mind
That you are His lamb.
God is telling your heart
That you are His Dream.
God is telling your life
That you are His Reality.

7393

Alas,
Will there be a day
In this incarnation of yours
When your mind will not be addicted
To doubt-drinks?

7394

Because you have forgotten
To surrender
To God the Compassion,
You are forced to surrender
To life the frustration.

7395

How can you appreciate
Tomorrow’s golden dawn
If you do not come out of
Yesterday’s barren failure-life?

7396

His soulful smile
Is always the beginning
Of a new, illumining
And fulfilling inner race.

7397

Your heart always relies
On one thing:
God’s Forgiveness-Smile.

7398

Pray and meditate daily, soulfully.
If you do not,
How can you remain
Always one step ahead
Of your life-disaster?

7399

No human being
Can easily escape
The desire-snares
Which appear in various forms.

7400

Each pure thought
Is the supreme beauty
Of a reality-rainbow.
