Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 76

Return to the table of contents

7501

The heart’s complete
Obedience-dawn
Offers the life’s
Perfection-day.

7502

Meditation-canopy
Can and will protect you,
But it is you who have to
Procure it.

7503

God wants you
To love and treasure
His unexpected Visits.

7504

Cornered by confusion,
You have surrendered
To your mind’s stark hallucination.

7505

The beauty, purity and divinity
Of his aspiration-infancy
I admire, I adore
And I love.

7506

Disobedience-demon
Has destroyed his life,
Inner and outer.

7507

Wisdom-light knows
At once
How to illumine
And how to consume.

7508

The doubting mind
Is nothing other than
An insecurity-plant.

7509

Unlike the mind,
The heart breathlessly competes
In self-transcendence-trials.

7510

Stark uncertainty
Is an intimate friend
Of the human mind.

7511

We all should be worthy
Of celebrating
Our own aspiration-anniversary.

7512

Not to speak of God,
Even man cannot ignore
A soulful appeal.

7513

The downfall
Of doubt’s supremacy
Each God-seeker
Will eventually enjoy.

7514

His whole life is confined
To his birthless and deathless
Confusion-mind.

7515

A patient in God’s
Heart-Hospital:
This is what my mind
Must always be.

7516

You cannot fulfil
God’s Dream
Without God’s Help.

7517

Ignorance does not hesitate
To speak ill of God.
Wisdom does not hesitate
To beat God’s Victory-Drum.

7518

What kind of prayer is it
If you have to worry
Even after you have prayed?

7519

In Heaven and on earth
His life of unconditional surrender
Enjoys dual citizenship.

7520

My self-offering-deeds
Are always sponsored
By God Himself.

7521

An aspiration-heart
Is a sure cure
For a depression-vital.

7522

The extinction
Of your doubting mind
Is the beginning
Of your life’s perfection-smile.

7523

God’s sacred Love for you
Can never remain
A secret.

7524

Do not lose
Your spirituality’s
Perfection-hunger,
Never!

7525

To shop in the market
Of ignorance
Your soul did not bring you
Into this world.

7526

Alas,
The thirsty world will drink
Perhaps only
When it is too late!

7527

Your desire-river
Will soon lose
Its existence-life
In your aspiration-ocean.

7528

Lost and found:
Earth has lost
Its aspiration,
Heaven has found
Its compassion.

7529

May my life be
A continuation
Of my unconditional surrender
To God.

7530

If you do not fulfil God
In God’s own Way,
Frustration will be stamped
All over your life.

7531

Each human being
Has two saviours:
An aspiration-heart
And a dedication-life.

7532

Despair-malady
Desperately needs
Promise-remedy.

7533

God does not want you
To waste
His Vision-fulfilling Time.

7534

Desire-life
Is a deathless journey
To a nothingness-shore.

7535

Life’s barren
Desire-pursuit
Is his sole identification.

7536

I do not want to know
What is on your mind.
I only want you
To make me feel
What is inside your heart.

7537

Are you a spiritual Master?
If so, every day
You have to keep yourself ready
To be kicked
By the world’s ingratitude.

7538

From today on
God wants you
To keep your heart’s door unlocked
For the human to disappear
And the divine to appear.

7539

The power of silence
Has saved my life
Time and again.

7540

God’s Justice
Is cheap.
God’s Compassion
Is cheaper.
God’s Forgiveness
Is the cheapest.

7541

If you are resigned
To failure,
What can poor God do
For you?

7542

Banish alien thoughts
If you really want
Only God-thoughts
To occupy your mind.

7543

My heart is learning
To love God the Justice
More, and ever more.

7544

This time
I am determined
Not to renew
My lethargy-licence.

7545

Purity is always
Of paramount importance
To fortify the heart-citadel.

7546

God never hesitates
To accept
Your realisation-application.

7547

Remember,
Forced love is weaker
Than the power of an ant.

7548

Never take a false step!
You will have
A fatal fear-attack.

7549

Every morning
I cheerfully do one thing:
I make a solemn perfection-promise.

7550

If you are only for God,
Then you can come
And sail with me
Any time.

7551

You fool,
Still you are not afraid
Of your imminent
Disobedience-disaster!

7552

You no longer have
A truth-heart.
Therefore, your progress-life
Has come to a halt.

7553

Your heart
Is a God-appointed emperor.
Your mind
Is a self-styled monarch.

7554

Mind, never stop surrendering!
Heart, never stop climbing!
Life, never stop transcending!
Soul, never stop dreaming!

7555

Why do you allow your mind
To enjoy the sleep
That will last for centuries?

7556

Do not allow
Your reality-heart
To collapse
Into your hallucination-mind!

7557

Do you not think
That someday
You will be forced to pass
God’s Examination?

7558

You are my own,
Very own,
Especially when you love God
Unconditionally.

7559

Your mind
Is a God-traitor.
Your heart
Is a God-soldier.

7560

Let me totally abolish
The distance
Between my mind’s unwillingness
And my Lord’s Compassion.

7561

Soul, my soul,
Where are you?
Mind, my mind,
Can you not find another place?

7562

His heart’s aspiration-life
Is made of
Infinity’s golden Dreams.

7563

No God-lover
Avoids or evades
Reality’s existence-life.

7564

Who can correctly estimate
The worth
Of a gratitude-heart?

7565

His mind
Is a desert-dweller
And his heart
Is a paradise-lover.

7566

Being a child
Of God’s own Eternity,
How can you be an alien
In God’s Kingdom?

7567

O owner of a lonely heart,
You and I are sailing
In the same boat,
Unappreciated
And even unnoticed.

7568

He works in his mind’s
Confusion-corporation.
A satisfaction-heart
Is not meant for him.

7569

The purity-petals
Of your life-flower
I admire infinitely more
Than you can ever imagine.

7570

The anguish of self-doubt
Is more dangerous
Than slow poison.

7571

To pray
Is to see God.
To meditate
Is to become God.

7572

Daily practise
Your patience-lesson
So that you can be
Perfectly perfect.

7573

Because I calmly live,
I fruitfully grow.
Because I fruitfully grow,
I eternally am.

7574

To change you
Tomorrow,
God has to own you
Today.

7575

Listen to God.
Otherwise, ignorance-tiger
Will devour you.

7576

Look what his disobedience-life
Has done to him!
His decline-glory
Has already begun.

7577

He is celebrating
His heart’s safe return
From ignorance-kingdom.

7578

What I need is
An indivisible heart
And not
A giant mind.

7579

Frustration-sigh
Is the dead end
Of the desire-life.

7580

If you do not have
A purity-heart,
Your soul is bound
To suffocate.

7581

He who has told you
That you cannot untie
Your attachment-strings
Is a rank fool.

7582

This moment
He hesitates to speak
About God.

Next moment
He fabricates stories
About God.

7583

You must value
Your devotion-heart
And your surrender-life
If you want to see
Your conscious progress.

7584

Earth treasures
His peace-seeking mind.
Heaven treasures
His peace-supplying heart.

7585

The mind-terrorists
Must be overthrown
Before the heart-specialists
And life-perfectionists
Begin their respective jobs.

7586

His mind is full
Of nothing but worry-waste.
Therefore, avoid him consciously,
Even unconsciously!

7587

He does not realise
That every day
His mind covers him
With nothingness-dust!

7588

To you
Everything is a burden,
Even the beauty of inspiration
And the divinity of aspiration.

7589

Perfection
Is undoubtedly possible
In this lifetime.

7590

Ingratitude
Is nothingness-existence
In the seeker’s inner life.

7591

Peace comes
From love-plants
And not from power-trees.

7592

Starve your undivine thoughts!
They are more dangerous
Than cancer in your lungs.

7593

God is going
From door to door
To sell your heart’s
Gratitude-life-book.

7594

My Lord,
You can turn Your Face
From me,
But Your Heart is confined
Inside mine.

7595

He cheerfully and bravely enjoys
Confrontations
With his soulless desire-life.

7596

I need a heart
That will have a free access
To God’s Compassion-Height.

7597

Doubt-professors
Are apt to teach
At the stupidity-university.

7598

He does not believe
In the supreme art
Of self-giving.

7599

Every day he swims
In the swimming pool
Of self-doubt.

7600

Flying to God
On willingness-wings
Is a supreme art
That every seeker
Has to learn.
