Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 78

Return to the table of contents

7701

As soon as my heart-day dawns,
I shall claim my Inner Pilot
As my own, very own.

7702

God’s preparation in you
You have not seen.
But your perfection before the world
You will see.

7703

You have peace of mind.
That means you love God
Unconditionally.

7704

I desire
To become great.
I aspire
To become good.
I surrender
To become perfect.

7705

Do not feel sad!
God is definitely going to do
Something extraordinary
With your failure.

7706

I do not want to know
Who God is
As long as I know
That God is for me.

7707

Ask your mind how far away
You are from God.
Ask your heart how close
You are to God.

7708

His doubting mind
Discourages him.
His unwilling mind
Fails him.

7709

Do you remember
That once upon a time
You only loved God
And never even imagined
Becoming another God?

7710

You have done exactly the opposite
Of your promise.
You have betrayed your heart.

7711

Self-interest
Cannot rest
In the heart
Of peace-delight.

7712

You do not understand.
Therefore, you criticise.
You criticise.
Therefore, you will remain
Unfulfilled.

7713

You hide your ignorance.
As if that is not enough,
Why do you have to treasure it
Unreservedly?

7714

If you have inner courage,
Then you will be able to believe
That God is for you.

7715

Why do you fail?
You fail because
You freely allow conflicts
To dwell inside your mind.

7716

It is a waste of time
To tell the world
That God loves you
More than He loves others.

7717

You love ignorance
As much as I do,
Yet you tell the world
That you are an exception
And that you have nothing to do
With ignorance.

7718

You surrender
To your mind’s stupid thoughts,
Yet you think
You are independent!

7719

Your unwillingness to believe
Is the beginning
And continuation
Of your destruction.

7720

No matter what I do,
The outer world ridicules me.
No matter what I do,
The inner world loves me.

7721

The outer world asks me:
“Who are you?”
The inner world asks me:
“Where are you?”

7722

God does not ask me
What I know about Him.
He only wants to know
How much I know about myself.

7723

My Lord,
You have given me
The capacity to cry.
Will You not give me
The capacity to forget?

7724

Can you imagine?
His impure mind
Is telling his heart
To be pure!

7725

Just try to entertain
God the Child.
No action will be able
To enchain you.

7726

Wake up!
Heaven needs
Your aspiration-heart
And earth needs
Your dedication-hands.

7727

You go forward!
God will
Thrust ignorance back
For you.

7728

Doubt
Is an unchased thief
In the human mind.

7729

God can easily
Conquer me.
But He always wants me
To conquer Him.

7730

Dangerous to laugh!
Therefore, either cry inwardly
Or smile outwardly.

7731

Whether you accept or reject it,
God’s Love for you
Is permanent.

7732

Do the right thing.
You will find yourself
In a glad surprise.

7733

Only the heart
Enjoys life’s thrill
To the full.

7734

You are aware
Of your shortcomings.
You can as well be aware
Of God’s Forgiveness-Blessings.

7735

God wants me
To save my heart first
Before I start thinking
Of saving my mind.

7736

Nobody expects
A new world from you.
But everybody expects you
To love the world.

7737

Powerless
Is human help.
Therefore
Look Above for help.

7738

God the Compassion is ready
To meet with you
With loving expectancy,
But are you ready?

7739

My soulful prayers
Always meet with
An abundance of rich supplies
From Above.

7740

You must not miss,
You must not disobey
The inner voice.

7741

At any time
Your heart can be a guest
In God’s Heart-Home.

7742

Watch not
The mind-juggler
When it tosses up
Unhealthy thoughts.

7743

Either be a mind-slave
Or be a heart-partner.
Make your wise choice!

7744

Every day you must recharge
Your aspiration-dedication-batteries
To succeed and proceed.

7745

You can be aware
Of God’s Love for you
The way you are aware
Of your love for your mind.

7746

God does not believe
In a failure-life.
Therefore, how can you and I
Ever fail?

7747

His will and God’s Will
Are inseparable.
Therefore, he is not susceptible
To doubts.

7748

Have a mind
Without doubts,
Not a life
Without a mind.

7749

He longs to be
A citizen
Of the perfection-hunger-world.

7750

No true seeker
Has to wait at the entrance
Of God’s Compassion-Heart.

7751

If you think
That you are on the wrong path,
Can you not see
That your path is dangerous?

7752

What you want from the world
Is importance.
What the world wants from you
Is perfection.

7753

Every day his mind
Does something unusual.
It writes complimentary letters
To itself.

7754

Behold,
Once again you are becoming
Your heart’s rising faith-star.

7755

Each new year
Make a solemn promise
To run faster,
And allow not yourself
To be weighed down
By monotonous days.

7756

You are quite advanced
The moment you feel
That yours is not the only way.

7757

Be wise!
Ask your heart
To feel,
And do not ask your mind
To understand.

7758

True, he is bad.
Then why can you not be
A little better
So that he cannot touch you?

7759

Mind,
Be not afraid of anything.
Heart,
Be a lover of everything.

7760

Do not question
If you desperately wish
To enter into
The true heart of truth.

7761

Each time he sings,
He dances away
Beyond life and death.

7762

O truth-seeker,
Yours is a path
Of forward march
And not retreat.

7763

O beautiful cloud of dreams,
When will you grant me
Your showers
Of powerful fulfilments?

7764

My mind wants to discover
A secret world.
My heart wants to see
A sacred life.

7765

Your doubt-knots
Can easily be untied.
Just ask your heart’s faith
To do it for you.

7766

My mind,
I am extremely proud of you
Because you have now become
A new willingness.

7767

O my heart,
Like your older brother, soul,
Can you not become
A dauntless explorer
Of the inner frontier?

7768

My life is only half full
When I receive.
My heart is completely full
Only when I give.

7769

A very old experience:
The desire-world
Is always desolate.

7770

Your link with Heaven
Is broken.
Can you not see
That your mind
Is the only culprit?

7771

What can you do
If your mind worships
Knowledge!
But your heart must always
Worship wisdom.

7772

A desire-life
Is nothing but
An incomplete song
Of man.

7773

I have entered into my mind
To claim my soul-light’s
Perfection-kingdom.

7774

Yesterday he thought and said
He knew everything.
Today he sees and says
He has much to learn.

7775

My soul
Loves everything ancient,
Including its ancient cries.

7776

Alas,
An overwhelming invasion
Of the doubt-mind
Has destroyed your heart’s
God-manifestation-hopes.

7777

Are you blind
That you cannot see
That your heart’s faith-life
Has gone completely bankrupt?

7778

My mind,
You talk too much!
What do you know about God
And His inseparable friend,
Truth?

7779

God’s Absence tells me
What I cannot do for God.
God’s Presence tells me
What God has done for me.

7780

You play on your doubt-gongs
Every day.
Can you not play once
On your faith-flute?

7781

My heart eagerly wants to see
The transformation
Of its younger brother, mind.

7782

God the Vision
Is the only Colleague
Of God the Creator.

7783

An unaspiring life
Is nothing but
An untimely sleep.

7784

Whenever
You are playing with doubt,
Welcome
Faith’s interruption.

7785

The mind does not know
How it can escape
The invisible cage.

7786

A message of the shameless and useless
Rebellion-mind:
“I have nothing to do with
The higher and inner worlds.”

7787

In a soulless world
How can you find
A crying and climbing heart?

7788

A soulful heart
Is bound to be blessed
With fruitful joys.

7789

He has discovered
Many ego-serpents
In his mind-pond.

7790

What you need
Is a death-denying determination
To smile at God
And then smile with God.

7791

Be not a fool!
Heaven is not going
To be afraid
Of your autocrat-demands.

7792

A God-lover has
The rare opportunity
To live at the centre
Of an illumining inner universe.

7793

Make your surrender
Unconditional!
You will be granted the crown
Of fulfilled promises.

7794

His ego-life
Has forgotten how to walk.
It now only runs.

7795

Alas,
He has turned his life
Into a series
Of anxiety-prayers.

7796

He is quite familiar
With his life’s
Inner earthquakes.

7797

A God-lover sings
Only two songs:
A gratitude-song
And
A surrender-song.

7798

I am under
My soul-obligation.
I feed my famished heart
Every day.

7799

I know only one path,
And this path does not demand.
It does not even expect.

7800

Two serving hands
Powerful,
One aspiring heart
Beautiful,
One loving life
Soulful —
This is what I need.
